Tbf I am kind of tired of seeing people make a big deal out of glitches and bugs seeing as this game for me has been running a lot better than a lot of other AAA titles at launch. Like even The Witcher Three released buggier than this unless I have somehow managed to avoid most of them. That said the facial animations issue is like one of the worst cases I have ever seen, some of the characters look like they are supposed to be robots or something.

Just on the Character Creator, with all the negative feedback do you think Bioware will update it with a patch? Would it be hard to implement? I can see them adding more options for certain things maybe but I don't think we will see anything like the changes we want to see.

idk if i'll romance Jaal. I will have to meet him first but it's great to have an MM romance on the squad and at least two full romances for gay male ryder.

I'm five hours in so far I like it more than I dislike it but my opinions are still mixed.
So like of course, the cc was dreadful even the measly few options we have don't look all that great. My character looks good in cut scenes most of the time but not all of the time and that annoys me.
I'm actually really enjoying the combat and gameplay in general it's probably better than any of the previous games, no issues on pc either it runs great and I have only seen two bugs so far and they were just like minor combat bugs that didn't cause much of an issue.
I haven't gotten to do much exploration yet (I think that comes soon tho) I have done a few side quests, so far they are much better than Inquisition but still not as interesting as in earlier bioware games. It's only the first few areas though maybe later quests will be better and at least it's not Inquisition level side quests.
The writing is a bit cheesy and over the top in places, lots of wise cracks, lots of over the top speeches that are supposed to be inspiring but just come off as pretentious like mass effect was always like that and it's fine in small doses but I think they went a bit too far with it. Still, everyone has a lot to say, squad mates comment on what is going on constantly and the voice acting is great.
Facial animations are what we have seen in all the footage released, most of it is kind of bad but passable, some of it is just really really bad. There is also really annoying instances of clipping and other graphical glitches that are just really distracting.
The plot is interesting enough so far, like the entire premise was kind of ridiculous but we already knew that, some of the characters are just more compelling than others and the farther I get into the game the more interesting the characters I am meeting become.
So yeah, mixed opinions but I am enjoying it and I imagine the game will open up a lot more now I habe finally learned how to do everything.

My Ryder kinda looks like he has wrinkles sometimes but then like the textures load or something and he looks normal. Also the back of his hair clips into his neck. So I am gonna have to try again with a different preset and hair. It's a shame coz he looks fine in most cut scenes.
idk why I can't choose stuff like complexions. I also really want to change the eye shapes.

Bioware seems to be moving away from the good or bad decisions/characters approach. On the one hand I like it, it can be more realistic and add more depth, on the other it sometimes leads to a lot of bland illusion of choice type stuff.

I think i'll probably go for 6, or 4 for male Ryder. Don't really like any of the male hairstyles tho.

The female cc's hair just seems to look a lot better in general. Like, even the textures look nicer. They don't get afros tho for some reason.

Ah okay, thanks for letting me know. Still, I can't help but feel that simply deleting the last sentence would have been a better option, or at the very least, less confusing and more honest. that would have made it obvious the info was true. Bioware obviously didn't want people to know either way, until the NDA on that info lifted today that is.

After watching the romance video I'm wondering two things... Why would the writer of that "joke" article that stated Liam isn't into guys go back and edit it to be more ambiguous? Yeah, no, he flat out says he isn't into men. Saying otherwise is not only false but also just sets people up for a second wave of disappointment and it rubs me the wrong way And secondly, what the hell did the people who said Vetra wasn't into Sara say to her beforehand to get that reaction? There was nothing that struck me as her being un-interested in Sara in the video which makes me so very happy! (And holy hell that conversation was kinda hot? Didn't know it was possible to be even more into her than I was. Gdi Vetra.) Now, a couple of my hopes for romances going forward are: - Scott can romance Jaal and m/m can finally have an alien romance - There are clear non-sexual options available within the squad, or at the very least, the Tempest From my understanding Bioware contacted that person, I assume revealing that info was a breach of the NDA.

@mickeymoonshine Imp Agent was the best story, by far. It's actually worth the slog to get through it. That was the last ToR character I hit 50 with before playing DA:O. I'll admit, I let out a very girly fan squeal when I realized that the Lady IA and Hawke were both by Jo Wyatt. It's just that I hate MMO combat, I probably will play it again eventually and I did make an agent. Soo yeah thanks i'll have another go at him.

lol I just played as a woman in that game, female Sith Inquisitor specifically. That said it was ridiculous that there were no gay romances at all to start with and when they did finally add them it was just a couple of NPC's on one planet. That said the KOTFE/KOTET expansions did a lot better and are also a lot better than the base game in general. KOTFE and KOTET are definitely not better than the base game. In regards to romance, most likely yes, especially for people who didn't want straight romances, but when it comes to story it was definitely worse than most class arcs. Imperial Agent has probably the best written story out of all classes (and unsurprisingly BioWare fired its author when they were making cuts in human resources, way to go). One of the biggest sins of KOTFE and KOTET is that the story doesn't make any sense for non-force users. The world of Star Wars literally resolves around the force and an Imperial Agent, Bounty Hunter, Republic Soldier or (rotfl) Smuggler ruling an empire after defeating dozens of elite force-users and the fucking Vitiate (Sith Emperor) himself is absolutely laughable. I didn't play as a non force user but I see your point it's plot would be unrealistic for a non force user, still I stand by my original comment it is a vast improvement in my opinion. Tho I have heard IA was the best class story. Not sure If I can make it through the base game again though.

Have they changed Gill's face a bit, since that other video? It looks a bit better to me. Maybe it's just the lighting. Don't think so, I think it's the lighting and we see him having a bit more expressive face. In the touring Tempest video, he seems very mellow and kinda pissed, a bit frozen. But he seems more lively here. Yeah, maybe it's just later footage with more animation and then ofc the lighting. He seemed kind of uncanny valley to me in the tour video to be honest, like something just looked off but it's completely gone in this one. He looks fine, other than that awful facial hair.

not a fan of all bi for the same reason I am not a fan of the two gays in the hold thing, it's just silly to me.
Tho I care more about representation and good writing than I do about having equal options for everyone for role playing purposes. I don't think it's wrong to want options so like I am not saying people are wrong for wanting all bi.

So I wonder how many other romances there will be aside from squad/crew and how deep they are. Like I can't see them having a huge amount of content but some of them could be cool. I still have trauma from playing a smuggler in SWTOR. New options literally every planet... all of them straight. lol I just played as a woman in that game, female Sith Inquisitor specifically. That said it was ridiculous that there were no gay romances at all to start with and when they did finally add them it was just a couple of NPC's on one planet.

It seems a bit over the top, like the writer has something to prove or whatever, I'd suggest people wait for the actual reviews, or don't even. Like reviews tend to be either overly favourable or overly negative these days anyway.
There's plenty of stuff out there showcasing the early parts of the game, seems like some of it is good and some of it is not so good from what I have seen. No need for me to go off someone else's opinion.

I should add, I kinda feel sorry for everyone who's about to be rejected by Natelie Dormer. :lmfao: <grumble> Don't remind me. I have my own salt about that one. I've had a crush on Ms. Dormer for over a decade now. I also had had a crush on Vivienne's VA too, and well...yeah. Edit: If anyone wants to know how much having this thread for everyone means to me, ask SofaJockey . He'd tell ya. Aweh, i'm sorry to hear that. Yeah they both have very lovely voices and are amazing actors, you can already tell Lexi is going to be lovable and while I wouldn't call Viv lovable her voice acting was fantastic. I'm playing a gay Scott but I can't say he won't flirt with Lexi at least once.

Shame about Liam but I was kinda sure when they revealed the character in the first place that this was a straight guy, same for Cora really. I'm not so much bothered about quantity, it's the fact that we have the ME3 situation again. Two gay underlings (with cc faces) on the ship to make things more "fair" they aren't there just because the writers wanted to write gay characters, they are there to be romance options or "tokens" or whatever. In ME3 it was progress because they hadn't done gay characters before but now it just feels like some formula to add options, they do it instead of making one or more of the characters people are actually going to care about gay. Liam and Cora are both straight just like Kaidan and Ashley originally were, Inquisition had two gay companions who were also actually featured in marketing of the game they will be remembered as important characters people actually cared about. What I liked was how many straight guys really liked Dorian some of them even said they romanced him, That was nice. At least it seems like Vetra is bi and she's not asari or some hot super model looking woman in a leotard so yay for that. Maybe Jaal is bi too, but I doubt he's going to be gay. So no gays on the squad then? Like I am not saying this is some big deal or that the devs are homophobic, I just don't think there can be some dating sim like formula for sexuality, it seems really cheap to me.
