Anyone else think the biotics look Bada$$?

I like how the targeting sight is showing you the cooldowns for your 3 abilities...

I wonder what the face buttons do, now? The powers are apparently moved to the triggers, leaving the face buttons for what? We'll have jet pack, melee, scan, "interact"... Which obvious things am I forgetting?

I don't understand which button will be mapped to shooting either.

Probably the R-bumper. I hope this is customizable. I'd strongly prefer to shoot with the trigger, and move powers to the bumpers.

Oh wait, I think you're right...

I'm sure it's supposed to be bumpers though (unless it's an alt-button map), it doesn't make sense otherwise.

It's fun to see all the little things return that we'd discussed months ago. I remember discussing the visual distortions created by biotic powers in ME1, and how we missed those. Ian was lurking in that thread, and I'm sure he was thinking, "Yep. Got that covered."

Biotic Aegis looks pretty darn useful. Biotic Charge/Vanguard still looks OP (at least in that video)! Every power looked great. I saw Engineer powers that finally looked awesome, and I've not been able to get into the ME2/3 Engineer. As much as I have always loved biotics, I saw some stuff that really makes me want to try a "heavy" Infiltrator/Engineer-type build. We'll see what happens. The Pathfinder's respec ability opens many doors.

It looks great. But I always loved how they did the biotics in the ME series. Well, in ME1 more than 2 and 3 (where awesome powers like Lift were turned into awesome blue potatoes you were throwing at people to create various effects, but whatevs )

Now the more important question is, what tools will BioWare give the other archetypes in order to compete with the Jetpack/Charge combo that seems to get the most synergy out of this new feature?

I think one of my favorite moments was using the charge to basically teleport up to the tower. That looks like it would add some fun to the strategic aspect of combat. Although I did wonder what happens to my allies when one zips around the battlefield.
