The GameInformer article thread

Oh boy, Sylvius the mad is gonna become Sylvius the really REALLY mad now. XD

Blessed Andraste's dimple on her right butt cheek that was a lot of info. About my only concern with the info released in the OP was the no wheel option/ the no class allowing you to have many powers. Ultimately one of the minor problems I had with Inquisition was that there was no way to access kind of...secondary powers...from a wheel. IE powers you would not use often but still would like to have available in case you wanted to have them for any specific reason. This leads to the problem in my mind of not enough powers for the game, since you will have limited slows (eight in the case of INquisition), or you will have to really pick and choose your powers IE sacrifice a power which could be REALLY useful/ or you have a personal affection for, but there is some other power which is better.

Overall though I am really happy about the information. I am actually really happy about there being A. a new game plus, and B. the ability to change genders for it OMG.

Overall though I am just really happy about the direction they are taking this game.

Finally a crafting system comes to Mass Effect. And if its anything like Dragon Age Inquisition's then I will be a happy camper,though I hope resoruce gathering is easier.

The forward operating bases (what I'm calling them) sounds a lot like the camps in Inquisition. Which is just fine with me, that was a good way of going out to explore the world. On a side note alll this talk about no loading screens likely means there will be no big loading screens, but all the talk about approaching planet in the window, will be the loading screen. Most likely anyways. Like the elevator stuff from ME 1. But faster.

Really happy about loyalty missions coming back however I hope there are more then oene loyalty mission/ companion mission, per character in the game. Ideally three, like in DA 2. That would be amazing.

I am really, really, really happy about the crafting. It indicates that ammo and grenades won't be powers anymore like the previous games but will go back to equipbile equipment. That should allow them to give us better/ more powers. Anyways, this is what I wanted from N7 day.

It's a nickname.

Game Informer article is the best thing of this day. A lot of interesting decisions and ideas, now let's see if next time they actually show proper gameplay and let us see the game.

About the whole AI not being done because of the Reapers I am still kind of hoping that it gets hijacked by a faction that believes Shepard and since their governments aren't doing anything are quietly trying to gather people in order to evacuate and start fresh.

I've seen this post before. But instead of December 1st it was today. They'll show something then, let's just hope it's something good. 

This is like the fifth time that kind of post has shown up. It is being said now. It was being said about N7 Day after EA Play 2016. It was being said about EA Play last N7 Day. It was said about last N7 Day after E3 2015. And it was said about E3 2015 in late 2014. This has really become a Boy Who Cries Wolf scenario. 

You know, reading the stuff about the planets is kind of exciting. I wonder if they'll do a Pitch Black/Riddick thing where a planet is seemingly benign at first but actually houses terrible monsters underneath... Not some ancient faction, or racial analogue, just a whole lot of mean wildlife. I wouldn't even mind a direct homage.

It ain't like they have to talk much, the trailers and preview are basically screaming the course of the plot. You go on Ark with daddy, he's the Pathfinder, shit happens on arrival, daddy goes missing/dead, you become new Pathfinder.

-Playing MP will have advantages for the single player but it absolutely does not affect the ending of the game


Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!!

Yeah I'm calling BS on this right now.

Any "advantage" you can gain in SP better f*cking be available to the purely SP crowd too!

I was hoping to see some gameplay, but I'm not too terribly surprised.

Most of what I've read I liked. With one exception: Changing protagonists. I enjoy both ME and DA. However, if I wanted a protagonist to change every game, I'd be playing DA. Not Mass Effect.

The argument that there are "too many choices," doesn't work for me. Ever seen the Dragon Age Keep? The amount of choices big and small are fairly staggering. I don't see how a new protagonist per game would make things less complicated. In fact, if they go with a Keep-like system, it could make things more complicated.

One of the reasons why I loved ME was the ability to play as the same hero for more than one game. To lose that would be to lose what ME so special to me. It isn't to say I wouldn't play it. It looks interesting and I probably will. But this whole, "You might have the same PC but you might not," doesn't sit all that well for me.

Edit: From what they've shown, Peebee (lol) seems like Sera from DA:I only in space.  <shudder>  I can't say I'm looking forward to that.  And why does BioWare show an aversion to the letter "H?"  We have "Sera" from DA:I and now "Sara" in ME:A.  Sarah is a perfect fine spelling.  /stupid rant.

If you want the criticize at least find a real reason...that would be the premise, the general description of the story, not the actual plot.
