AsbjoernSR Link"Guess"ski Will helmets be retractible? What are helmet on/off in conversation options this time? (hopefully they can be on in convos) Mac Walters @macwalterslivesNo details, other than you will have some control over helmets on/off. Retractable helmets!

If possible, can someone tweet Mac / Flynn to give us the proper spelling of the Khet? Also, any other names that have multiple spellings. For example: is it Jen Garson or Jien Garson or ???
It is in Bio's best interest, I think (and us of course).
s6.postimg.org/vpmkiq481/Untitled.jpgHe was very fast answering me. About your second question - I think one of the devs answered it is "Jian". Hmmm, could'a sworn I heard Jien, but then again, I could be wrong. Guess we'll find out when the next training video comes out.

Found a good quality shot of the Khett image from Game Informer: i.imgur.com/OlmKvNV.jpgDespite what it may look like, this Khett does have pupils. Said pupils looks somewhat reptillian in shape and size. It also looks like its face has scale-like texture. It's interesting that the Khett wear clothes given that it looks like they have an exoskeleton. If you look at the chest, you can see what looks to be some of this underneath it. The pants actually looks like it has holes on the sides to accomendate the armor. I think it's kinda cool that their hands look like they're hooved or mittened.

Pearl @fatherofpearl1 @tibermoon Will we be able to select any difficulty when we start the game for the first time, or will we need to unlock Hardcore/Insanity?
Ian S. Frazier @tibermoon @fatherofpearl1 Funny enough, @faburisu and I were discussing this just this week. Not ready to share the answer yet, though, sorry!

Is it Khet or Kett? I keep seeing it both ways. It's too bad Patrick isn't involved in this, or we could add Kh'ett, Khe'ett, and K'h'e't't to the list. I think any of those are far, far too short for Mr. Weekes.

I especially want to be up close during our new convos with Andromeda aliens!

I remember when Ian dropped into an early thread here, "Which Will Be the First Class You Play?" He commented on being curious as to where things would go. Ultimately, the conversation turned into musings about how great a classless system would be, but how it probably would never happen. I imagine he enjoyed that. ,.-~*´¨¯¨`*·~-.¸-(_MEA_)-,.-~*´¨¯¨`*·~-.¸
But, if I understand it correctly, the classless system is only for the Pathfinder. It true, it's a bit misleading as it implies it also applies to the squad members.
I don't follow. What implies that it would apply to companions? Edit: I thought that maybe I should clarify my earlier post, lest I somehow wasn't clear. Ian dropped into a very early thread on this site, concerning the above mentioned topic. It had a poll and everything. He made a single comment to the effect of, "I look forward to seeing where this conversation goes. Be specific as to why your favorite class is your favorite, if you wish." It was his first post on our site, I recall, since I may have been guilty of running a stalkerish background check on his profile. He didn't weigh in with anything else. He presumably just tracked the conversation as we talked about our dreams of a classless system, and how it would likely never happen. I'm sure he smiled at his desk and shared with his team.

It is in Bio's best interest, I think (and us of course).
The GI article, their chosen marketing platform, uses Kett dozens of times. Jien Garson appears on their site. She also pronounces her name phonetically. If one listens for it, I'm sure it it can be heard pretty clearly. I'm not sure why there is any confusion, really. "Khet" was never released by BioWare in any form, and Jien is likewise the only form of that character's name we've ever been provided. Still, if asked, I'm sure someone will reaffirm this. Edit: Apparently, Mac and Ian answered more quickly than I posted.

Am I to take this to mean that more than a helmet will be offered before release? Most likely. I'm guessing once they finish with the six videos needed to unlock that helmet, they'll have other stuff on the website that will have ingame unlockables. For what though is the question. Will they all be for Ryder? Will some be for companions too, like if you finish all the Asari-related stuff you get something for PeeBee? Will it be customization or decorations items for the Nomad/Tempest/etc?

I'm sure he smiled at his desk and shared with his team. Yup, he did. I'm very confident you folks are going to love this system. Heck, I've just spent the last few hours playing a new character build that merges certain elements from a classic ME3 Adept and Engineer, wielding a unique sniper rifle I crafted for maximum synergy, and it's awesome. I'm very excited to see what crazy characters y'all manage to create in MEA. *returns to lurker mode*

This guy (er, gal?) looks like a cross between a prothean and a batarian. Uh, and maybe a darkspawn?

I can see "Collector" in the hide that looks almost like an exoskeleton. (I assume that's what you mean by Prothean.) Other than that, I think they look more human than anything. Look at that face. The eyes may be colored differently and have different pupils, but they look like us. They look more simian, to me, than like any previous Mass Effect aliens.
