I've tried to play evil/ruthless in games but it just leaves so bad taste and feeling to me I cannot do it. I think I restarted the games where I was an asshole to people and did better afterwards
I know what you mean. However, some "grey" choices, if available, are inevitable. Punching that journalist in ME was most satisfying
Sure, some of those are taken, but I did not like the punching though, it was way overboard (but kinda fun the couple first times)

I think I restarted the games where I was an asshole to people and did better afterwards Yeah I struggle to play bad people really I've managed a coupl eof renegad eShep's in the ME trilogy but that's as far as I've managed t ogo. Generally my characters feel they are visiting those places to make them better.

As ruthless as I play my Shepard, the punch was overkill. It's interesting Shepard can punch her yet can't punch other characters for making stupid comments.

Do you think we are going to have some kind of reference in the CC? For the height sliders. If someone wants to be shorter/taller than X or Y companion.

I'm looking forward to Bio revealing the PC specs for DA:V. Reason? Warframe staff says Intel's 14th & 13th gen CPUs are responsible for instabilities issues with the I9-13900K being the majority. The crash error(s) refers to a state where the GPU is "working very hard on all CPUs"
see article : wccftech.com/warframe-intel-14th-13th-gen-cpus-responsible-for-instability-issues/
Now I expect to play DA:V at reasonable graphic settings (ie: not ULTRA). Basically, I'm CPU/GPU heat phobic so I try to avoid generating heat if I can help it.

I'd like to know as well since I'm actually wondering if I'll even be able to play DA:V. My gaming has kind of petered out in the last few years, with the exception of BG3, for which I actually bought a new laptop, but idk if it will withstand DA:V, and I'm not buying a whole-ass PC just for this game. I guess I could buy a PS5, but, again, I don't game that much anymore so it feels like a bit of a waste.

Otherwise, what is going on? Even allowing for perspective, either Rook is short for a qunari or Emmrich is tall for a human, whilst Lucanis has been described as a short king by the person who designed him, yet looks about right compared with Rook and only short compared with Emmrich.

The 13th and 14th gen i9's are really hot stoves and pushing that last 5% makes them heavy wattage users. I opted for Ryzen R7950X and now even more happy with it I did not go with i9-13900...

Can we still play as an asshole? Because their answer isn´t that spefic. For example can Rook kill characters like Yavaris for just the reason alone that he annoyed the playercharacter? Meanwhile i hope that purple Rook can be as unhinged as purple Hawke. Some of the things that purple Hawke could say in DA2 honestly made them sound like a psychopath without them killing anyone. I really hope that we'll have more moments like this. I NEED the sarcastic option to quip at the most inappropriate moments lol.

What makes a 'shite person's is subjective. I wouldn't say anything less than Captain America is a shite person. I don't really see the appeal of a total evil playthrough either, but I do see the appeal of playing a character rather rough around the edges, and ruthless. Which we've been allowed to do in pretty much every BioWare game I know of so there is little reason to think its going to change now. To considerably varying degrees, sure. I don't think many could argue with a straight face that Andromeda, or even DAI, offered anywhere near the same role playing opportunities for a ruthless character as other prior Bioware games.

Yes, this photo is a bit confusing. Lucanis is a "short king", but compared to who? I agree, the Qunari is either small, or Emmrich is huge.

Michael Bryant d4rkfallenI have less than zero interest in romances in a game so glad seem more effort will go into a friendship type & glad companions will have their own personal romances for when I don't bother with them. Hopefully we are still able to progress the relationship level w/out romancing Michael Gamble @gamblemikeYou won’t have to engage in the romances and the followers will still progress as you play with them.

Um, we’ve always been able to do that. Don’t know why the person was concerned and asking that. I’m more saddened by the fact that it sounds like all romances if you pursue them require sex.

Oh yeah, me too! Without AUTO ATTACK, playing the Arcane-Warrior Mage was most uncomfortable and dropped it fast. Now if DA:V comes with a one handed Light-Sabre with elemental damage (Path of Exile has it), I've gotta try it! However, if Neve is anything to go by, the jumping in, touch the enemy and jumping out, away from danger, gives the impression of a timid mage hitting the enemy with a wet noodle then scurrying away like a chipmunk.
So, yes, I'm very interested in how Bio plays the mage.

But Ryder probably had the single most ruthless choice in the entire ME series plus could be every bit as mission first oriented, thumb nose up at authority, or not working for the 'greater good' as Shepard.

I'd also assumed you didn't need to romance a follower in order to increase their RL, but I do wonder what kind of disparity in Skill Points there might be between a follower you bring with you all the time and one that's sent to their room for half the game.

Since the relationship points also build due to our choices in the world and with the factions, I feel even the ones you don’t use will get max points. Plus I feel each will have multiple parts of a personal quest line and each will fill it a lot.

In MEA they leveled up points same as Ryder but the highest level of each skill wasn't unlocked until you did their personal quest. And since they kept leveling up points, in NG+ there was always extra points that couldn't be spent.
