Crew Interaction

I like to have more dialogue with the crewmembers. I liked talking with the crew in ME2, the crew in ME3. Too bad they didn't move around the ship, not all of them, like others did. I also preferred talking with the crewmembers instead of talking with squadmates. Hopefully crewmembers in the next game get more attention. They're just as important as the squadmates.

Companion dynamics are practically BioWare's main offering at this point. I don't know of any other developer that can so consistently deliver on such a large cast of endearing characters each with a surprising amount of agency. I'd be surprised if Andromeda didn't continue their upward trend in this department.

Granted, BioWare usually err on the safe side with their characters, opting for a consistent level of camaraderie and fairly straight-forward drama that always works, but doesn't usually reach scintillating. I might urge them to present their characters with a different tone this time, but considering that BioWare are the only ones doing their brand of companions (successfully), I'm not about to make a big deal out of it.

That's what the map, showing where each companion is, is for, though

They're in the main entrance hall of Skyhold & make comments as you walk by

Always in favor of more diolog with companions and crew. I really liked the mission debriefs in me1 with the entire squad. It would be nice if they did something similar in meA.

agreed. if there's one thing i think bioware does right by, it's characters. even npcs with small roles

also, i hope they don't go with the me3 approach with the conversations. i liked mea and me2's way of having a sorta cutscene rather than just press the red circle and being able to run like an idiot when someone's talking to me.

Nah, I'm thinking they just scrap all character development or leave squad dialogue exclusively to missions.

Trouble with that is you can get jumped by deathclaws.

That was a joke.

I would like to see them eliminate the "multiple clicks" to get the full round of dialogues with each character between missions... and once you've activate a character, the red circle  should disappear.  A special repeat conversation icon could appear at the end of every conversation (like an interrupt icon) so that people could re-hear a conversation they might have missed.  Using the repeat, could also allow players to change their selections if they want to without having to reload a previous save.  That way, people would not be accidentally repeating conversations they don't want to hear again and again and they won't have to redo entire battles just because they messed up.  This should also allow for the squad mates at least to have some different dialogue to say after each and every mission without adding a lot of lines of dialogue overall.  I really didn't like that sometimes clicking multiple times on, say, Garrus in ME3, would bring up different little quips all about the one mission and then the next mission all you would get out of him was "Not right now."  I felt one unique comment about each and every mission would have been nicer. 

I can understand there possibly being two conversations available if the player missed doing their rounds after an important mission, but that is not what I'm talking about here.

You're somewhat misunderstanding my intention... the one-sided comments of the squad mate wouldn't necessarily be lumped together to make them a long, multi-faceted comment without a pause.  The additional quips that came as a result of clicking multiple times would just be moved (and rephrased as necessary) so that there would always be 1 comment for every mission.  You wouldn't find 3 comments for 1 mission and no comments for the next.  The only time you'd be able to click a second time would be if you missed getting a comment from a previous mission... so you could catch up.

The way it is now, for example, I can get about 4 separate quips from Garrus about each main mission... but none for any of the N7 missions.  I'd like to see this evened out.
