We know BioWare decided to 'throw out' Frostbite in the Mass Effect universe.
Which means the next ME will be back to crap hair!
Sorry to disappoint but UE5 is quite good. Check this out ->
creating hair with UE5.

I do kind of feel that at this point the DA team has put so much work into creating and improving their tools and learning the ins and outs of Frostbite (I think DAtV's graphical gorgeousness [spare me the art design commentary... that's a deliberate creative choice], environmental scale, and gameplay snappiness and smoothness is proof positive that they have), that sticking with it instead of undergoing yet another engine reset and learning curve process is the way to go. But who knows what the devs in the trenches really feel. I imagine some want to stick with it, and others don't. The issues BW had with it at first are now legendary, but I wonder what the general consensus is NOW.
*not so subtly puts out the Luke signal*
I will say it does some things very well and some things poorly, relative to other engines. Personally I really enjoy Frostbite but I've been using it since 2012. In an ideal world, many engines would be viable and developers would make games suited to the strengths of a specific engine.

Luke, I got to thinking. Since this game is much more stat heavy than prior titles, specifically when it comes to skills and gear, there's likely a need for some balance changes to be made post-launch. Does the game being playable completely offline hinder the data capture side for your team (in terms of analytics), or is this a non-factor?

I will say it does some things very well and some things poorly, relative to other engines. Personally I really enjoy Frostbite but I've been using it since 2012. In an ideal world, many engines would be viable and developers would make games suited to the strengths of a specific engine.
Luke, I got to thinking. Since this game is much more stat heavy than prior titles, specifically when it comes to skills and gear, there's likely a need for some balance changes to be made post-launch. Does the game being playable completely offline hinder the data capture side for your team (in terms of analytics), or is this a non-factor?
The game probably uploads the data when you login to validate your game with EA.

I closed it after I saw the first achievement that sent me reeling. I'm both hyped and mad at myself

18 days to go. Looking forward to DA4 ratings.
This game has high potential. With DA4 a success, we can look forward to ME5. Though, the EXODUS ( made by ME vets) game characters far outstrip ME and DA4 ones in terms of looks. EXODUS chars are the ones I originally expected to see in DA4, given today's graphic capabilities. I've watched quite a few DA4 youtube videos and I'm torn between the scifi and DA. Exodus, imo, will set the new bar that ME5 must meet or surpass..
DA4 can have extended longevity if modders can do something about the characters' looks, be it casual wear, armours or whatever. I'm a mod fanatic and making game changes to suit my play style is important to me.
Now, when will the Metacritic reviews come out? User reviews, however, is more important to me.
Have we seen in-game footage of EXODUS beyond quick glimpses of environments and enemies? Judging by the pre-rendered trailers, while they are veering more towards realism than DAI it's still a stylized look.

I hear dragon growl/roar sfx. I’m sure it’s the stone grinding, but still find it kinda funny.
All these environmental things say “camera adjusted”. Here’s hoping there’s a photo mode that allows me to adjust the camera like that. It often seems to be the case that you can have these grand set pieces that look awesome, but you can’t appreciate it b/c there’s no vista to look at them from; and instead you are attached to a camera over the shoulder of a character who is up close and personal in the locale, and all they can see is a wall or the bottom of a giant statues chin or something.

I am happy they are not using Frostbite for the next Mass Effect and hope they don’t use it for the next Dragon Age.
Frostbite might now be able to do more realistic hair, but the faces also need to look good, not just the hair.
It's art design, it has nothing to do with the engine.
Battlefield games on the same engine have been looking very realistic for years now.

Time to throw me at.... me, to stop me. And not read those achievements and spoil myself.
I do it all the time and then have less fun because I anticipate both rightly or wrongly what's coming. I have more fun when I don't know what's coming but... that anxious need to know what to prepare myself for...
I have little to no self restraint.
But I can do this. I have waited ten years. I can wait another 17 days, that are somehow feeling like the longest of my life. Good god. I'd sleep my way to Halloween but people have the absolute
audacity to expect me to do my job in this time. Unbelievable.

Well I have no self-control, so I've already done it
although skimmed them rather than digging in for details. The thing about achievements is that they can be very literal or very metaphorical (or both?) - also Bioware is Bioware, so I expect a bit of subversion her and there, lol

Not looking not looking not looking......
I definately felt like I know the entire plot, more or less, after going through the Achievement list so proceed at your own caution.
