Vette had one of the best companion arcs in the game imo. Very well fleshed out character. i'm assuming Peebee will be at least half as good in quality when given 5 years time in writing by the same person. Yeah her and Zenith were my favs. I didn't find myself drawn to many others, except maybe Gault. He was just hilarious! Since PeeBee's writer is Vette, I am excited to meet her! I am only leery of Asari because of how BW portrayed them in the past. If PB is a recycled Vette, we are in for a treat. She had a very distinctive personality, sweet and funny, yet not saccharine. I like the ME1 Liara, but Vette is a more complete character.

Same here except in my case female though normally I'm quiet good at putting decent female characters together on these games I think. I never could create one good enough for me. I think the only decent one was default Sheploo. The female options were a little better though, but not so much. Besides, if I try to list my reasons on why they don't put good looking options in the male chargen (usually) I'll start going to gender war in the industry, so I'll just shut up. Booo I tend to think I did a decent job with my Nic Shepard

I remember that username from the old BSN, if it's the same guy he's not joking. He was really big on the roleplaying aspect if I remember correctly. Knowing him, he was not I am pretty sure he have no idea what roleplay means if he can't discern it from a bug that needs fixing. Anyway thanks for confirming what i thought

I'm kinda middling here.
I'd actually much rather they polish the game, debug it, and get Gold, get it to be as polished and great as it can be, than overload us with info (which they have said, MULTIPLE times they are not going to do this time around) and keep on releasing videos that draw such toxic, hateful, nasty little trolls to gather in a circle and cast incantations and stuff, or whatever else it is they do on YouTube, and places that aren't BSN. Cause I still think BSN is the only place I can actually get people's negative opinions from in a clarified way, so I can actually know what concerns them, and be able to discuss and share thoughts and what have you, as opposed to *insert reactionary sexist/racist/hateful YT trollpost*.
I'd love to see the gameplay video, and maybe some more info on the crew, but I am going to avoid comments sections like the plague from now on. And oh my gawd the amount of reaction videos on YouTube stemming from "Mass Effect: Andromeda Will Fail" (Reason? Cora's hair) to "Mass Effect: Andromeda Is Going To Be Terrible" (Reason? Cora's hair)
There's enough hate and awful going on elsewhere in the world, its horrible that gaming has become such a toxic cesspit. BSN is the only place I still have hope for humanity, and gaming and gamers.
Though I guess I still stand by my assessment that some of the people commenting on YT aren't proper Mass Effect fans. Its like so much of the original trilogy's themes and characters flew over there heads.

Something like Nsync period Justin Timberlake and his noodle hair? Also - someone else has probably already made the connection... but I definitely have to have a Kamen Ryder during one of my playthroughs

Grew up loving Zelda, spent my life playing all the games when they came out, but I have less hype for it atm. And THAT says a lot for a Zelda fan like me too.

This was a very obvious bug, folks, not a reduction in agency. You'll have plenty of agency. Always good to hear. About Pelessaria's writer... I loved Sith Warrior's storyline and the character. Vette was pretty nice companion too, maybe not the best overall, but I liked her. When I first met her I thought she was gonna be the most annoying sidekick ever, but she ended up being perfect companion for my Sith Warrior. I feel more positive about Pelessaria now. For some reason she kinda reminded of Sera for a while. But I liked how they described her as "kind and friendly." Sera certainly wasn't the most friendly person (ironically).

I get some people's hopes for a game, and the desire to see more player agency.
But surely there is a better way of expressing it?

I get some people's hopes for a game, and the desire to see more player agency. But surely there is a better way of expressing it? My only desire is this: devs can control what we will have to do about things that are necessary in the main storyline (obeying orders, going rogue, shooting someone or committing mass murder in order to advance the plot). But we should be free to express ourselves about how we feel about doing it. If it's too much to implement, then don't make us feel like we enjoyed it, or hated it, or anything else, it's better to simply not mention it. And I extend that to our relationships as well. If we have to take people we don't like aboard the Tempest, or talk to them, or work together with them, that's fine. But don't make us automatically like, dislike or treat any of our crew in a predetermined way (through auto-dialogue). That should be up to us. Also, don't make the twins different to the point where we would dislike them enough to have to go play with the other one. By that, I mean, making Scott more shy, or more headstrong than Sara and vice versa. That should also be up to us. That's all I'm asking, for control over my character thoughts, emotions and principles. I shouldn't even like or dislike my family based on your predetermined path, Bioware. When playing the game, we choose based on whether we enjoy them or want to have sibling rivalry, or Dad as well. No forced PTSD (I'm looking at you, kid). No forced rudeness or friendliness with people. No forced friendships or forced rivalries, or religions, or food tastes, or anything else like that.

Now it's "grey, black and brown" because Paragon/Renegade colors are SO last year, tsk.
Clean slate, so I don't think we should demand anything really aside from it staying true to what Mass Effect is. That could include dialogue but without Shepard I think those "rules" are up in the air. I would be fine, personally, if Ryder has a very clear-cut characterization that varies a lot depending on which Ryder you are because they're distinct personalities and you'll always hear certain SisRyder lines even if you play as BroRyder because you obviously only choose dialogue for one of them, but they have guaranteed us that we'll regularly see dialogue wheels with four options like the DA:I wheels that contained emotional responses but slightly streamlined, and that's great.
IMO Mass Effect 3 would've made me complain less if they had simply stayed consistent about always presenting dialogue options whenever what Shepard said was of a certain opinion, but sometimes they'll go "how do you feel?" and he'll just automatically go "I'm sick of this!"
