What do you want to see on N7 Day?

Am I one of those haters? Because I keep saying we should know more - a lot more - by now. It's been years and we still don't know a lot about the story/setting, nothing about gameplay besides it has a jump-pack, still don't know anything about any characters including the protagonist, don't know about new features in the CC, don't know how roleplaying/dialogue will play out... it's crazy.

So unsurprisingly, I voted for "All of the above" I didn't vote for a second option because I'm not sure what I'd prioritize. But I'd really like to see:

- Gameplay, since we've seen none. And like others have said, this means combat as well as RP mechanics, dialogue wheel, persuasion, interrupts etc. I'm really curious to know if the combat will be good because I'm still not hyped for Andromeda's story after the scar ME3 left, so I want to know if I'd get long-term enjoyment out of the MP like I did with ME3. As long as they build off the fantastic foundation they have instead of reworking everything like they have a habit of doing, we should be fine. I really hope all or at least most of ME3MP's added weapons and powers find their way into ME:A, because there was some awesome stuff there. I'd love to use the Paladin's omni-shield, or Arc grenades (ha), or those fancy biotic flips that can go through walls. I'd like to customize my melee attack. Concussive omnitool, electrical stomp, or a monomolecular blade? At least it looks like the turians' jump-pack melee is in!

I'm not too worried about the RP elements after DA:I, but it would still be nice to know we'll have more than 2 dialogue options on the wheel and I'm really curious about the new interrupts, as well as if the "emotional responses" from DA:I will make a return in some form. Being able to actually express yourself as the protagonist could still use some work, but that was a step in the right direction. I've been thinking lately about the fact that in all Bioware games, I can't think of a single instance where our character could cry or laugh. They're such fundamental human experiences both, and it's a shame. It would be nice if that kind of thing would be added to the "emotional response" thingy, as options, obviously.

- In a similar vein, I'd very much like to know more about the setting and story. Not spoilers, just a bit of groundwork, because again, I don't know what to expect and I don't want to be disappointed again. It's all-but-guaranteed that I'll be disappointed with however they retcon introduce the Arks into the story, but it's not like they can change ME:A's core now. Who is Dad!Ryder, what's the deal with the siblings/Pathfinder(s), a minor explanation of the Khet (are they enigmatic like the Reapers, or simply another organic species?), which species were aboard the Ark(s) and why, etc. are the kind of things I want to know.

- And personally, I'd like to know the basics of the companions as well, in a similar way to what DA:I did pre-launch. Perhaps not quite as much info, but I want to know:

1. How many squadmates there are. Personally I'm hoping for 6, like ME1. 1 of each class, but not such a huge cast that each character doesn't get the attention they deserve. Since it's confirmed there will be non-squad romances, that won't be an issue for having only 6.

2. What races are they? Since ME3 I've hoped for some of the less popular/used species to fill some slots, along with familiars. Luckily, ME3MP at least provided the option to play as them, but I'd like the benefits that come with the "squadmate" title. Of course, part of that was info about the species, like history, but that won't matter much anymore...

Another salarian squadmate would be nice, perhaps a female? A female turian as well to mix things up, and a male quarian. We've never had a vorcha squadmember, nor batarian, elcor, hanar, or volus, but I have a sinking feeling they might not be in the game at all Also, a female krogan or drell? (Spoilered mini-rant)


3. What classes are they? Will we have an even spread like ME1/2? Similarly to the above, it would be interesting to mix up previous class/species combinations as well. Perhaps a krogan who uses tech? A biotic turian, or even salarian? If the asari is a squadmate, make her a hybrid class instead of pure biotic. On a sidenote, maybe make the AI companions actually able to use biotic charge?

4. Basic personality/background info would be nice, and names. No spoilers and nothing too in-depth necessarily, but something.

5. Romance-gates. I know a lot of people don't want to know, and that's fine, but I'd rather get the disappointment over-with than waiting until halfway through the game and a bunch of useless flirts to find out Or, more likely, that I won't like anyone to begin with Expectations safely low

Uh, I wrote more than I thought I would. I probably still missed something though. Bed time!
