TIM doesn't have a base to eyeball like that. I destroy it in every game, since I can't find a way to give it to the alliance. Plus, it makes the ending more realistic "too much bull**** on this channel." Even my Paragons take THAT option. That is one of the more enjoyable lines in the series. I enjoyed the Shepard/Illusive Man relationship in ME2 quite a bit. TIM was well written and very well acted. It made their direct interactions, though relatively few, a lot of fun. I can only hope we get someone as epic in MEA as ole' Jack Harper. While I'm not TIM's biggest fan, I have to admit his interactions with Shepard in ME2 - and him overall in that game - were great.

On the point about the IFF, the writers seem to forget that if you do the alternate ending where everyone dies but Shepard saves the base. A bunch of ships are seen on TIM's holo-viewer approaching the Collector Base. They had to have an IFF in order to properly fly to that location. I think that the IFF just prevents all of the drones and turrets on the other side of the relay to fire upon the entering vessel. They said before that any ship that went in never came back, and you can see all of the debris. This means that any ship could traverse the relay but the problem is surviving on the other side. Once Shepard has eliminated the collector base, I guess that all of the defenses are down, thus enabling any ship to enter that relay. But the Normandy is actually attacked by the drones. Had the ship actually been able to slip by and infiltrate the Collector Base unharmed, then the IFF would make sense, but if it could have made it through regardless, why even risk the derelict reaper?

Because cutscenes lie to you. When a ship uses a relay, it doesn't "exit" next to the other one, it can appear very, very far away. What the IFF did was to use a different protocol that reduced this drift lest the Normandy exit FTL inside a deadly zone.

While I approve the spread of lore knowledge, I don't think this discussion has anything left to do with this thread. You know Twitter, tweets, all that stuff.

Ian S. Frazier @tibermoon We have five "tones" to help you define Ryder's personality, so quite a bit of control. (tone 5 is for actions) BioFan @biofanofficial heart, head, professional, casual, and narrative actions? Ian S. Frazier @tibermoonCorrect. Taking a narrative action is essentially choosing the "impulsive" tone. Is casual the new neutral or the new sarcastic response or something? Also, I wonder what the difference between head and professional is as they seem like they could be quite similar...

It would seem heart and head refer to emotions/personal life while professional and casual refer to your work attitude.

Professional sounds like it's the "by the books" action, no bullshit, you do things as you were told and as you should, might even be the new renegade response.

Out of curiosity has someone asked the devs if overheating weapons are in Andromeda? I don't use Twitter so thanks. Both overheating weapons and ammo-based weapons will be in the game. There are mods that can turn an overheating weapon into an ammo-based one, and an ammo-based weapon into an overheating weapon.

This information originated from the original leak, and I remember seeing it again somewhere on Twitter. That sounds hella hilarious, but I doubt you can do that. But good luck anyway. Maybe you'll create a super-badass-MLG-weapon.

Once Shepard has eliminated the collector base, I guess that all of the defenses are down, thus enabling any ship to enter that relay. EDI says the Reaper IFF activates additional measures with the Omega-4 Mass Relay. These slow a ship with it down in a safe space, where ships without it would drift normally which in this case would result in their destruction.

I'm quite interested in seeing both types of weapons as well as the mods. It might make the game more enjoyable, and incentivate trying different weapons . About the tones, I'm waiting to know more and see it in action. I do hope we get at least 3-4 tones per dialogue.

I'd like to see the "heat sink weapon mods" thing confirmed via tweet. It's not that I don't trust the sincerity of the source. I've simply found it best to "trust but validate", before getting hopes up, since misunderstandings happen.

About the tones, I'm waiting to know more and see it in action. I do hope we get at least 3-4 tones per dialogue. Yeah, DA2/DAI had the whole tone icon thing so you had a better idea of the intention behind a line. That's a great example of one game actually using it and the other almost forgetting why they exist. I mean, DA2 actually had those tones constantly, it was the default stuff you'd see like in ME3 but with 3 options instead of 2. DAI on the other hand had more tone/intention icons but decided it needed a special icon to let you know that if you select that option, it'll continue the conversation. Which you know lead ALL of the fucking icons to be that generic 'hey this'll continue the conversation'. Yeah, no shit, that's how the conversation stuff works BioWare it's been that way forever. Unless I'm asking the dictionary question portion of shit I expect each selection to advance the damn conversation. I dunno, maybe the inquisitor was to blank slate they actually felt they had to invent the damn thing to fill the emotionless toneless void for half the shit you say. Soo ehh, yeah I agree. Here's hoping it's the default every conversation.

Ask them here, and yours might get answered on our podcast! bit.ly/2gzYrWi Will Ryder have a say in who joins the squad? Will Cerberus armor be available to wear? Will there be a cook on the tempest? If so, will he/she be able to cook calamari gumbo? Will there be a weapon similar to an M203 that Ryder can use? It was one on my favorite weapons I used when I was in the military. Will sister Ryder and Cora be able to let their hair down in between missions if they have a ponytail or bun? What's the average time to complete the game? The fastest? Will there be any details released about mother Ryder?
