I can't believe we are at a point where Andromed is praised relative to Anthem.
Bioware please =(

The OCD in me is so happy I got the last post in that thread, before it was nuked into oblivion (or fextralife apparently).

Gotta disagree, I think it's not that deep. Now that I think about it, the engine room choice is just terrible, it's exposed, uncomfortable and out of place. Meh, I disagree. I think it's kinky, unconventional, dangerous (as in border line publicly exposed), and about asserting territory.

Lol As long as we don't duke it out like the old Liara fandom, we'll be fine. I'm going with Sara too, not sure if/when I will get around to a Scott run. I romanced Liara three different times. In the end it was my FemShep who became my Canon (and my only Shepard), and Garrus was crowned the love interest. For me, one character is plenty. I don't overwhelm myself with multiple characters. And having my one characters (in both the OT, & Andromeda) being Female, makes things more interesting I think my brain slightly melted

Cora's sex scene is out in the wild, I just saw it. Yall may want to go dark from now on Aw crap, well I was going to black out soon enough anyway, considering how soon the game is releasing. Sucks I have to wait until May to play the game. Hope it was good at least

Damn, finding out Cora is indeed straight is a great pity. I was really hoping for a different outcome, though I can't say I was shocked by the news. Now this throws a big fat wrench to my plans on playing FemRyder primarly. I guess I'll play both Sara (with Vetra) and Scott (with Cora) and then decide which one is my canon Ryder (yes I'm that kind of person haha). Some Cora art for comfort

The weapon switching doesn't bother me too much but I at least wish they had alternative designs. I hate when Bioware uses this "iconic look" mentality. This made them have Miranda in ME3 use her ME2 Cerberus outfit....WHILE RUNNING AWAY FROM CERBERUS.

The butt contest is meaningless, no butt can match Miranda (this is weird....) Anyway, really cool Launch trailer and anything Cora is good in my books. I've notice something strange in the latest showings of Andromeda however, and that is that some NPCs look very....robotic ? I can't quite say why it is but I feel it's something to do with the eyes. Is that just me ? Anyway, I'm just really glad this issue is not affecting human squadmates. Here's what I think is going on with this: In Inquisition, you had two ways of interacting with characters -- with important characters in important scenes, like setting up companion quests and the like, you had your standard cut scenes, and when you were just talking to, say, merchants in different hubs and the like, the camera just pushed in a little closer and we talked them in the regular environment. This undoubtedly saved Bioware time that's precious when you're making a big, semi-open world game, but fans complained that it made a lot of the interactions and side quests feel impersonal. So I think they're doing the same system here, except it gets a lot closer so that we can see both characters' faces. It makes it feel more like an interaction, but it also shows the flaws more, because they're a little more limited in what they can do than they can in a cut scene. Hope made any sense. Very much made sense. I was actually a pretty vocal voice when Inquisition released regarding the dislike of this panning camera in lieu of cut scenes. It's a rather weird thing to see and my concerns really grow when characters like Suvi has that "problem" imo: Anyway, that's quite off topic here, I was just glad Cora doesn't suffer this:

If Suvi is really the human lesbian option, that'd be quite disappointing, feels like Traynor 2.0 She might turn out great and very different you never know and it's very likely f/f have Vetra and PB as well. You may like them too. Stop trying to be positive ! Sheesh.... More seriously, you are very right and what I just wrote was purely based on the very little we know. If Cora is indeed male only, I'm really not sure if I'll play a MaleRyder to romance her or play a FemalRyder which I really wanted to do since I played Sheploo for the trilogy.

I won't lie, as I Swiss citizen, the ressemblence between Miss Swiss 2013 and Cora is what pushed me over the edge.
I must say, Andromeda is tearing me apart. On one side I'm so excited to get back to Mass Effect, meet the new squadmates, romance Cora, the music etc. On the other hand, the shadow of ME3 and DA:I still creep and remind me to be very cautious regarding my hype.
I just want the game to be good.

I gotta say, I dislike nitpicking and value good criticism, but this pan camera in DA:I made me throw up my insides. To simply put it, it profoundly devalued conversations by not letting my see characters emotions and made interactions lifeless and dull. So I'm quite disappointed it seems to be making a return. I'd rather have less dialogue but more profound and interesting interactions with characters. That said, the panning looks better implemented than in DA:I so it maybe not as bad. I'd like to really see it in action before making any complete judgement. So, you'd rather get all your side-quests via data-pads, emails and terminal hacks. Obtaining a side-quest is, quite often, a "lifeless" dialogue anyways. I don't see a need to give them first-class cinematics at the expense of more emotive dialogues where the PC makes actual dialogue choices. From what I've seen, there are plenty of close cutscenes with dialogue wheels or when something emotive is being said. Obviously the conversations shown are just directional - directing us to a side-quest or just letting us through a door. Unless people start showing instances where this is being used during emotive and important conversations, I'm not going to start getting upset about it. I'd rather overhear someone than have to pretend to covertly hack a terminal in someone's office (like in Palin's office in ME1) to get a side mission. Quite the contrary, what I am longing for are meaningful and compelling sidequests. Sure have some data-pads and emails here and there to tell some non-dialogue stories but I want sidequests that are emotionally rewarding, whether it's funny, tragic etc. I dislike this segregation DA:I created by giving cinematics to main plot stories but pan camera for sidequests. It really made them shallow at best and, for the most part, abysmall. I can't remember everything of DA:I as it was some time ago but I remember giving back the ring of a women's dead husband. It could've been pretty emotional had we been able to see her face expression but instead the quest was a fetchquest that had to emotional impact. All in all, I'm yearning for deep sidequests and providing cinematic cameras is important to provide that imo.

Damn, I was hoping that the scan function would work like in Metroid Primes, it doesn't appear so.
Also, am I the only one that can't stand SAM's voice ?
Otherwise combats looks fun but I don't understand why they decided to edit out music and dialogue choices. We've seen enough of the combat.

These scans from the art book posted on Imgur include a few iterations of Cora's character development. It could contain light spoilers, there are a few pics of characters that aren't squadmembers: imgur.com/a/bVjKDI like her brown hair in a bun! Almost a shame that they didnt keep it. Not a fan personally, she pretty much looked exactly like ME1-2 Ashley. I feel her design is far more unique now.

Bet one thing for Cora is she will be straight only, just like Ashley, Miranda and Jack were. And even Cassandra from Dragon Age: Inquisition. Every female human squadmate is always straight, which if really sad to me. I hope I am wrong about Cora, but most likely she won't be interested in Sara. They last companion/squadmate f/f romance I had was in Dragon Age 2 in 2011. For once I would like to romance a female squadmate, still looking forward to the game. Cora looks like a cool character, anyone else hope she will be bi? Yea I'm pretty much expecting the same thing which is a shame as I'm very much hoping she will be bi. Wait and see™
