Adding to this, because I didn't see this reply (though TBH I was skimming most of the last pages; if I just missed it I'll delete.)
Bruna Melo @bmelo42 @tibermoon @the_Elder_King COOL! And the Ryder we don't choose will always have the default name to have the difference when spoken to/of?
Ian S. Frazier @tibermoon @bmelo42 @the_Elder_King Your twin? Yes, that's correct. ------
Which makes complete sense, and prevents the game turning into an Abbott and Costello bit.

I'm skeptical that we will learn anything meaningful from it.
if we get a gameplay video, as is rumored, then i'd call that something meaningful. we basically have little knowledge of what the gameplay will look and play like.
originofwaves : It's not really a rumor. BioWare has stated it'll be showing gameplay, and the guy who runs the whole show said it'll be about 5 minutes. Or at least BioWares segment will be 5+ minutes, im sure the video will be a bit shorter the that.
While we haven't 'seen' gameplay we do know the kind of cover system they use, and beyond that it'll be relatively ME3 like. Sooo... I mean we don't know wtf they'll show us, that's for sure. But it's definitely not a rumor and we have a good idea of how it'll be. Well, I have a good idea of how it plays. Lot of people haven't played Tomb Raider, or can't figure out how to mix that with ME3 in their heads.

I don't expect it will tell us much about how it plays. It will show us how it can play, but we won't learn about alternate approaches.

Aside from things mentioned above, I also want them to show us some epic dialogue...

I expect no story spoilers.

Mac Walters @macwalterslives The team's been working tirelessly and we can't wait to share a few surprises in tomorrow's gameplay reveal @thegameawards #ExplorersWanted
Lee Kaburis @lkaburis It's looking sweet folks! Hope you enjoy it tomorrow and looking forward to all your reactions and comments! #MassEffectAndromeda
Jos Hendriks @sjosz Tomorrow's going to be exciting.
Colin Campbell @ccampbellart Can't wait for folks to see this.
Too soon. Never thought I'd be saying this, but I'm oddly calm about the entire thing.
i really like pathfinder's setting but i REALLY don't like how focused on min/maxing the rules are. it's designed from the ground up by and for min/maxer's and autists. the rest of us normies have to play on crayon eater difficulty just to hit a target. j00t Fires Of Heaven www.firesofheaven.org/
Barrett Rodych ForgedPixels Sometimes you just don't realize and see just how far it's come with all the debugging junk still on the screen. So pretty~
Graham Scott biomasika aarynflynn was kind enough to stop by to show us a sneak peek, and it looks awesome!
AaryN7 FlynN7 aarynflynn My pleasure! It's the least I can do for all of the hard work you're doing
Ian S. Frazier @tibermoon After years spent bringing #MassEffect gameplay to a new engine and some exciting new heights, we are so freakin' excited to show it tmw.
Starkiller Radikov @zealotradikov After almost 3 years. I think.
Ian S. Frazier @tibermoon Over 3.5 years for me now. It's been a long road.
I'm just praying it's one of those all in one gameplay reveals. Show a little environmental effects, show some scenery, take on a cool alien to showcase the new designs and awesome gameplay mechanics...then fade to black, and present a cut scene showing Liam and Drack in all their overhyped glory.

If ME:A has full-body and face capture that... sounds too good to be true, and way too expensive for BioWare making these kinds of games. I wouldn't bet on it.
,.-~*´¨¯¨`*·~-.¸-(_MEA_)-,.-~*´¨¯¨`*·~-.¸
Hm.. If you think about it, Bio has done exactly that.
Several reasons come to mind. For one, UE3's libraries from ME1-3 are incompatible with the FB3 engine. For two, the new graphics hardware allows them to ratchet up the cinematics. For three, Flynn and co. mentioned the new hardware allowed them to tell the story they always wanted. For four, the EA Play video shows a mocap in action (ie: full body). For five, the N7 Day cinematic shows the new body movement quite nicely. Remember the way FemShep jogged?
Add some manual facial customisation and you got yourself some stellar closeup cinematics that clues you in as to what the characters "feels". Having said this, the Turians are a lost cause and so are the Khet/Kett, while the Krogans will definitely required some manual facial animations (ie: their lips move).
We still haven't seen SisRyder walking anywhere yet. I won't get excited until I see she doesn't jog in slow-motion like she's floating across the floor in a dream.
Alistair McNally @al_McNally You should watch @thegameawards tomorrow live. We're going to show some incredible stuff. You're going to absolutely love it. I guarantee it
So, where does one actually watch this thing? I assume it won't be on television like a normal awards show?

With the presumed length of the video (5 mins) I doubt they'll go "all in" . Otherwise it'll suffer from the "how to sleep 8 hours in 4 hours" syndrome. Too much stuff happening in a very short period of time and we end up getting something like the trailers, lot's of flashy things at once that we cannot make any real sense of it. I'm sure we'll get at least one more trailer before release.
RIP old BioWare - 1995-2016. I used to be a fan, now I'm just toxic.
