With The Expanse, Altered Carbon, and now gen:LOCK, I neither need nor particularly want a Mass Effect: The TV Show.
Now, if Casey Hudson were to be named showrunner for an original space opera IP in a weekly hour-long format, I'd sacrifice a whole bucket of chicken for that.

I'll wait until we get a release date before committing to a full series run-through.
As for choices, I won't know until I roll my dudes and I'm in the moment. I'm not a big fan of 'canon' as a concept, so whatever worldstate I play last will be the one I go into DA4 with.

I dunno. Playing the original Mass Effect without texture pop-in just feels...wrong.

Let's not forget that Bioware was going to make Hawke the main character of this entire franchise going forward, and only changed their minds about this because DA2 bombed so hard. Bioware is not above bringing a character back. Never mind that I fundamentally disagree with the philosophy of "New character every game no matter what". That to me is an idiotic mindset to have when creating stories. If Bioware truly cannot see how the ending of Trespasser begs for the Inquisitors return, then I seriously question their abilities of perception. But it doesn't beg for Inquisitor to return as a PROTAGONIST. But it does beg for the option to allow my new protag to bang my Inquisitor.

I voted storytelling/worldbuilding only because it seems closest to the one thing I think Dragon Age is missing: Voiced narration of codex entries.
I'm definitely not a fan of this. However, if they do it I would hope they'd go closer to the Diablo 3 route than the ME route. In D3, the character who wrote the journal is the one who narrates it, and it will play as you walk/run through the area. You can turn it off it you want, then play or read it later from the codex list. I hate the ME voiced codex because a.) the voice is terrible; b.) it auto-starts as soon as you scroll over an entry; and c.) you can't turn it off/disable it.
I can definitely get behind the idea of playing them while you're "in game" and not actually in the menu, and you read my mind with the character's VA reading codexes relating to them. I was specifically thinking of the Cullen letter about Cassandra's offer when I wrote this idea.
Although, with respect, I personally love the VA for Mass Effect's codex. He has that 1950's news anchor flavor to it.

I'd like the protag to be an investigator with one of three backgrounds: Military, scientific, or political. Set the game in the Milky Way 1200-1500 years after ME3. We are dispatched to the edge of the Milky Way by the Citadel Council to investigate a mysterious ship that is entering our galaxy.
Its point of origin...Andromeda.

But I doubt that will happen with Captain Marvel because A. she IS getting her own movie, B. this is Marvel and I think the MCU has a lot more good faith with me then with DCEU and more importantly C. I actually really doubt CM will have that big a role in the Avengers 4. The more I think about it the more unlikely I find it that she is just going to Waltz in there and be 'integral' to stopping Thanos. There is far too many plot lines going on and far too many people who have an axe to grind with Thanos (Thor, Hawkeye, maybe Antman, Captain America, Iron Man, etc) that just throwing Captain Marvel in out of nowhere seems weird. Maybe her movie will give her and Thanos a connection and I do suspect that her movie likely will involve Thanos in some capacity maybe but even then there is just a loooot going on.
Yeah, I imagine she will have about as much screen time that Spider Man had in Civil War. A couple quick scenes establishing where she's been for the last 20 years (assuming this isn't explained in her own film) and a big action sequence as part of taking down Thanos, but definitely as part of the group.
Nobody is gonna solo the Mad Titan.

This raises an interesting question; one that has been asked in this thread recently I think... Assuming the "Secret Invasion" rumors are true about Captain Marvel's plot, who is a Skrull spy? my $ is on Black Widow I was thinking General/Secretary Ross. Could tie it into why he was so set on the Accords (to keep the Avengers ineffectual.)

Sorry, haven't read the next 9 pages yet, so apologies if this has already come up, but...
I would like this, and if the devs were smart and/or ambitious, they would include a character creator for the Inquisitor in the DA Keep, so when they appear, it could be seamless.
I like this option. Frustration at getting my Hawkes to look right aside, it was incredibly annoying to have to stop in the middle of a cutscene to do it.
Not only that, but spending that time recreating your Hawke, all the while thinking "okay, gonna see Hawke next, gonna see Hawke..." as opposed to just watching a random cut-scene and suddenly, it's Hawke!!!

I went with MEA2 with new protag simply because I am dying to see Andromeda/Helius 100-200 years later, getting to see the fruits of Ryder and Co.'s labor.

This is hard for me. On the one hand, ME:A's open worlds were a blast to explore and have random encounters in. The sheer bulk of experiences spread over the (6?) open world environs was awesome. I get why peeps bemoan the fetch quest nature of exploration. I never experienced that. Just driving around randomly accomplished 80-90% of quest completion in my pt.
Having said that, ME2 is imo the greatest game of the 360 generation. Ilium (and more specifically, the action setpieces on that world) comprise some of my most cherished gameplay experiences of my life. Or getting Jack from the bowels of a prison ship. Navigating the gangs of Omega to get to Archangel, conversing at first, infiltrating the three gangs, culminating in all out mayhem defending a fixed position with multiple enemy breach points. A legendary experience.
If anything, that is the one thing Andromeda was missing for me: Urban combat. Having gunfights out in the wild open of Eos is cool. Running and gunning through corporate offices, slinging singularities while hunched behind a receptionist's desk, is sublime. So, to answer the original question, I think I would prefer the open worlds, but include sophisticated and futuristic urban hubs with specific missions inside those hubs to take advantage of the environments in a combat setting.

I think the Inquisitor will be back, but like Hawke last time. Has to be a character creator if DAI wasn't coded for export. Sorry, haven't read the next 9 pages yet, so apologies if this has already come up, but...

Though I think it was appropriate to correct his avatar, I would hate anyone to be misled before he has the opportunity to change it himself. He should have to keep your "corrected" avatar for at least a week. Because, you know, ...funny. You...corrected...him.

Is it just me, or did they somehow forget to include natural-looking gingers? They have slightly reddish brown hair and unnatural red. Still, beautiful job. Agreed. Hair color shaders, or at the least, a spectrum of natural reds, would be most welcome. And thanks.

You know after some thought and bourbon I think it should be a setting in the KB bindings of the menu. Don't let it be reassigned to something else but you should be able to disable it as a binding. Bah bourbon! You need this. I'm more of a Laphroaig 15 man, myself. You can taste the cask wood really nicely.

Bioware owes me nothing.
I owe Bioware nothing.
They release a product I want, then I buy it. If not, I pass.
Call me heartless, undedicated, or what-have-you, so be it. I consume games that interest me. If this developer doesn't produce them, that's cool. Some other developer undoubtedly, eventually will.

Battlefront 2 the nwe Star Wars game coming out later this year. As far as I'm concerned though at least Battle front 2 does have 1 leg up on Anthem by virtue that it's got single player. So unlike Anthem I may well end up getting Battlefront 2 Same. It may be a 5 hour single player campaign, but still, I can definitely go for that.
