Are the doors sufficiently weird? I think so. As I mentioned in an old BSN prime thread, I would've been pissed if the doors were like the doors we saw in the Milky Way.

Think about it - something with the form and function of an object used by home species seems ridiculous. This is an entirely new galaxy full of species we can't even comprehend. Why should they have an object with the same form and function?

Although unfortunately it might even be a concerning risk they have doors at all (same function), they are HUGE and weirdly shaped. We didn't have many large trapezoidal doors with the exception of perhaps the doors in the collector base.

I think the form is sufficiently different enough to be lore-fresh.

It's not any weirder than all aliens understanding one another or that most life seems to be bipedal variations of humans+animals.

They had several decades to sync up their language databases and used a universal translator device.

What you call a door here - I'd rather call a gate. I remember some ~~jocular~~ serious remarks on BSN prime about doors. It came down to rectangular is best so the door don't get jammed in the frame.

Also - round elevators would get stuck. Which is bad, because we all want to enjoy the groovy muzak while riding the elevaters.

To be honest. Doors are not high on my list of nitpicks.

Yarpen Zigrin recounting a meeting with Yennefer of Vengerberg to Geralt and Ciri,
"I came across her at the market in Gors Velen." he recounted. "She barely noticed me-she spat like a she-cat and insulted my deceased mother horribly. I fled for all I was worth, but she shouted after me that she'd catch up with me one day and make grass grow out my arse." Ciri giggled, imagining Yarpen with the grass.

Odd shaped doors are hard to make and harder to keep working smoothly. Outside of doors for "important" or otherwise ceremonial spaces it would be weird for doors to be complicated and, say, octagonal. I would expect rectangular doors on more pedestrian building s like homes or shops because the shape is easy to make and use.

That said, I'm glad the vault doesn't have them.

Considering the remnants are always there tending to the vault i guess maintenance isn't a big problem inside them.

Speaking of doors i hope they use 'Ryders on the storm' in their next trailer.

I like the traditional omni-door which they have used since ME2. The doors and arches in the trailer reminded me of the Collector base and Citadel: The Return. The whole level was recognisably bioware but with a strong Halo 4 influence.
