Patch 1.08 notes and discussion (June 8, 8AM PDT)

Hy guys...where you can change apperance to Ryder on Tempest?

Haha! I predicted the new bald haircut. If there is one thing Bioware are expert at, it's bald haircuts.

Unfortunately it looks we are still stuck with the bulging eyeballs and fish gobs.

The idea that this "change" somehow ruins anything for straight women is beyond absurd. You can still romance, and he'll still be interested in you. If the fact that someone playing a Male Ryder can now romance him somehow "ruins" his romance for you, you might need to step back and evaluate why you feel that way.

This isn't a retcon, nor does it break with the game's established lore. As someone said earlier, much like Kaidan being bi in ME3, this is a revision, not a retcon.

I also can't wait for Smudboy to make a video lamenting that this change occured and going on about 'pandering', etc.

Yeah I'd guess Thursday--I think you're right, decafhigh, the other patches were released on Thursdays.
Antibaar - I'm assuming we'll be able to change Ryder's appearance on the Tempest at the same place we can change Ryder's casual clothing and armor colors, in the Pathfinder's quarters below the bridge. It's that panel on the port side of the ship, or left as you enter the Pathfinder's quarters, on the same side of the room as the bed and music player.

Think it's to much to hope that they added a personal bathroom for Ryder? 


...  yeah, probably not. But it would be NICE.

Hmmm...it's great that they are listening to the fans, but i can see the problem others may have with it if it goes against the Angarian Lore itself. (Not sure if it does or not and this Jaal romance option doesn't bother me at all) but if it affects the lore in a negative way ( don't know..not interested enough to look into it) then maybe they should have found a more realistic option.



According to their response tho, they have made the Jaal romance believable. If i had to to weigh in on both arguments i can see the points of both sides, but i'd have to lean more on Bioware's side simply because they are really trying to please fans with these patches and are asking for ways in how they can improve the game.



Yes that initial rollout was a disaster (the game should have never been released in the shape that it was in.....and i still kinda blame EA for that and their fiscal year end commitments for releasing Andromeda) but these guys are putting in a solid effort to please fans and in some aspects are going above and beyond and you can't dismiss that.



I was hard on the game initially and i still think it's the least out of the trilogy, but i find it hard to believe how some fans are still not satisfied with the effort put forward.

I think that big adversarial boogie man of the Western world should penetrate the gaming market and make RPG's with romance options.
Then I can scream, finally a full romance option for my straight female because that "tiny minority" is definitely sidelined to obscurity.

Maybe Bioware should seek advice @ the feminists lodge so they can add in fade to black c*str*tion scenes.

I am beginning to see the wisdom of Bioware in exploring other options besides RPG's.

So now I can finally make the Mattock full automatic. Good stuff!
I'll try an automatic Valkyrie just for fun.

Changing appearance mid-game is also a good thing.

Now they really need to improve the performance of the game. I'm on PS4 and the game freeze from time to time while on driving the Nomad.

EDIT: If they want to keep romances and avoid this tiresome quotas discussion, then just make every character playersexual and be done with. I'm fed up of this bickering on who got the most romances. Everyone romance who they want and we finish the discussion.

Plays smooth as butter on my PC. 



Though I do applaud the faster improvement dev cycle for the PS4/Xbox One, will help keep pushing the gaming envelope. 

I have to say, I'm a bit disappointed with the CC improvements. Seeing as how limited the MEACC is, I was hoping they'd add at least half a dozen more heads.
Silly me.



It seems the new heads are the 'bugfix' for head #9, which means we'll most likely get an new crazy-eyed female preset and a male one that looks like a goldfish. Meh.

Its the Marijuana Emergency SOS quest, I think there is an option where you can partake of the services.
