The GameInformer article thread

A bit dissapointed you can't pause and aim anymore.
I'm not good at shooters. Will play on casual and try to avoid combat as much as possible.

In DAI they had personal quests for the three advisers. I can see them doing the same for the main crewmembers, especially if LIs.

Its possible. I just like to have them get some extra dialogue and content. They're just as important as squadmates. They're the ones that maintain the ship. You could call it their mission.

Here's some posts from Shinobi on gaf: 






Edit: I missed this one

Sera grew on me. My quizzie didn't like her but fun character! Who had surprisingly observant/smart things to say sometimes. I didn't hate any of the characters. Blackwall was my least favorite simply because he was kind of boring to talk to.

Polarizing characters are good characters. What you don't want is somebody everybody is meh about... like Jacob.

I hope there'll be more and more varied then ME3. I wouldn't expect tons, but a bit more for each squadmate.

I'm not sure how I feel about the combat changes. It might be good, it might be bad, it might be awful, it might be wonderful. It is the kind of thing where I feel I need to see it in action and experience it myself before I decide what I think about it.

Yes! I really NEED to see gameplay footage. While I do appreciate not having to pause all the time after playing MP for 250 hours, I don't like the idea that this is completely gone. Also kind of worried about not being able to give squaddies direct orders. You could very well breeze through ME3 as an adept spamming warp/throw yourself over and over or charge/nova everything to death. But how am I supposed to sync with another biotic that way? I want a badass biotic duo like Shep and Liara were. Prime me, baby!

I won't hype myself and say this can be better than TW3.

I won't.

I won't...

I play at the casual-level of difficulty because I'm not a good shooter at higher levels, and I'd rather think my way through a problem then to shoot my way through it and become overwhelmed into frustration.  I'm not one for excessive combat even though I've learned how to shoot well enough. Hopefully the discovery and wandering 'features' will be enticing enough so that I don't feel like I'm spending a lot of (my valuable) time being lost.

I've been hoping for multiple COVERT movement/pathway options  that allow us to take optional routes around the main areas of combat, rather than always being forced to barrel one's way through the center of the festivities. I'd like to circle around and attack from the enemy's rear or blind side and take out security guards one-by-one - while the main force doesn't see what's happening. Perhaps even snipe from a concealed spot where the enemy (the game AI allows for this) cannot tell where the shots are coming from, then slip away. I'm doing this already to a minor degree.  I noticed  Drake in the Uncharted series can at times one circle around a group of baddies and wait for certain guards to turn their backs, then can run up behind another guard, dispatch them quickly, and get away without being seen.  Very cool. I hate being shot at.

If the news that caches can be forward deployed is to be believed, I'm all for it. I hope it will also mean that we and our squadmates can have time to camp for a little while and have some deep-and-meaningful conversations, and learn more about each others backgrounds (romance development opportunities!).

From everything I've seen and read about Andromeda so far, I'm really looking forward to playing  it. There are some great comments being made in this forum, and it's why I read the threads here every day.

Oh hell no, this had better not be true. It would be the first BW game ever where you couldn't pause to direct your PC and/or squaddies to use abilities. I hope all it means is that the system will be like DAI where all (8) of your powers are hot keyed so that you don't need to pause to use them if you don't want to. The GI article did say that powers could be queued.

If you genuinely can't pause to select powers at all then that is the first thing I have read which would actually make me consider not buying this game. I can deal with a bit of lore bending around how we get to Andromeda but I really don't want a third person COD with biotics.

Yeah, when I posted I didn't know about shinobi's post. I agree in any case.
