Gamedam Meister @gamedammeister aarynflynn @biofanofficial Will we be able to customize the body at all, or are we only able to do from the neck up like before? Aaryn Flynn aarynflynn @gamedammeister @biofanofficial No body customization unfortunately Good to know, finally. I have to admit, this kinda sucks, but was to be expected...

Michael Gamble @gamblemike Wow. I guess y'all really liked that Deep Dive video from last week. I guess we have no choice but to... DO MOAR. Gee... who woulda thought? Fandom has only been begging for stuff like this the past several months.

I have to admit, this kinda sucks, but was to be expected... That sucks, but I have to admit that it was kind of impossible to have sliders - MEA will be cutscene-heavy and clipping issues would be horrific. And "3 body presets" is a bad idea too, if to think of it from the developer' point of view. Short-mid-tall, considering inquisition experience, can lead us to something like "this character won't romance you because you are tall" and it's worse than "you're a dwarf, so no Cullen for you", I think. Slim-mid-chubby can have the same outcome. Any of this will eventually lock protag out of some close-interacting content, 'cause that means more work and game is already bigger than DAI, if we are to believe devs.

Saints row seemed to manage fine with body slider and cutscenes- just saying.

The Saints Rows' cut scenes were also decidedly less ambitious than that of the Mass Effects'.

Saints row seemed to manage fine with body slider and cutscenes- just saying. Saints Row uses their own CTG Engine, just saying. Not Frostbite, that has its own issues in that matter (first of all it not even being suited for RPG). Also, should I remind you about SR's very specific art style and it's issues with animation? It had no clipping, but it had plastic-like things all the way that were bending in some very un-anatomical ways.

Mon de Duke @dukemon13 in MET the skip button could use as action button in dialogues. the result was sometimes you skiped an answer not the dialogue. Mon de Duke @dukemon13pls improve that in @masseffect Andromeda that the Skip Button (on PS4 square) cannot choose a dialogue option Ian S. Frazier @tibermoonYup, we fixed that. X skips, A selects. This means PC also moves from "SPACE FOR EVERYTHING! WHO NEEDS OTHER BUTTONS!", right? Right?

Captain Millennium @cpt_Millennium In Andromeda will we be able to be "romancing" multiple characters at the same time? Mac Walters @macwalterslivesit depends on the characters. ,.-~*´¨¯¨`*·~-.¸-(_MEA_)-,.-~*´¨¯¨`*·~-.¸
I noticed the rush of players looking for "care free" characters to hook up with.

Antonio de Carvalho @decarvalhoaais there a way to tune down a bit the fast pace combat 4 below average players like me that didn't really enjoy the ME3 MP? Mac Walters @macwalterslivesYes. There's 5 difficulty levels. And you can auto level-up your character & squad. So you can focus on story or exploration if you prefer. ,.-~*´¨¯¨`*·~-.¸-(_MEA_)-,.-~*´¨¯¨`*·~-.¸
No worries. Unless Bio's hostile NPCs are controlled by a revolutionary AI, our dearest Pathfinder can overcome in most situations.
For example: We already know that the AI will conduct their battle using frontal assaults to get your attention and combines this with flanking attacks and long range rifle fire. This behaviour is probably fixed. A human, aware of this tactic, can adjust easily.
My only reservation is my squad's behaviour.

Cutscenes, armor and everything. Because it was rigged. It was separately modeled. And still, Cullen was available only for elves and humans, Solas - elves only. Have you ever tried to look at modded Cullen romance with quinari and dat wonderful boobkiss? And all that considering DAI had 8 romances and MEA will have more (if we are to believe devs). If we are to have different models (for example, let's say 3: slim, mid and chubby), then we'd have a pretty high chance of some NPC not being into chubby or slim or mid, and this will cause an outrage. And I personally prefer them to do meaningful things instead of spending hours trying to remodel all armor, all clothes, all cutscenes. Different races had different backstories and some different phrases and different body models have next to no meaning.

The feature to customize the PC's body has actually a pretty high meaning - individualism and immersion are among the main reasons why people play those kind of games. Thats why so many RPG's feature this option. Bioware has decided to sacrifice body customization entirely for more player based content, though I think they should really start to find a healthy middle ground that is the ability to choose from some fixed body models and have a decent amount of player based content. Its time. Balance never hurts.

Its time. Balance never hurts. I honestly can't remember that much RPGs with a big pool of content AND at least some body sliders. Most of them are considered "wow" if they have some sort of a character editor. Well, if they have an option for PC to be either male of female, if we are to think of most of nowadays RPGs. None of Bioware games had it. Skyrim never had a decent one (weight slider did almost nothing), if we are not to consider mods. Most of them never had it. Or are you considering things like Conan Exiles to be some sort of RPG? We are talking about a game on Frostbite engine, that is not that smooth on the customization side and it's a miracle if we'll have some decent CC options. I'd prefer to have mildy-realistic looking game with tons of contents to plastic-like feeling of SR, that had body sliders, but no decent cutscenes and animation. That's my opinion and you have all rights to disagree with it, but as long as Bioware will have a Frostbite as their main engine, it's not going to happen.

Do we know if they've added variations within species for the NPCs we meet? I think in the OT everyone had the same model except for the Doctor in Leviathan. Would be nice to see some unique characters around Andromeda.

Hi guys! I don't know if this was mentioned earlier, but I got who voices the lady telling Sara Ryder about finding "somewhere tropical, Summer year round", etc. I was on point identifying Reyes' VA as Nick Boulton within seconds of watching that trailer for the first time back in January. I'm quite sure this lady's VA is Wendy Braun, she voices Gianna Parasini in Mass Effect 1 and 2. Let me know what you think.

Just watched the video of Parasini from ME2 and yeah, they sound a lot alike. One of the more interesting secondary characters from the series. Would love to see her in Andromeda, unlikely as that is.

Its time. Balance never hurts. But they're offering increased immersion elsewhere. It's a trade-off. I wanted body sliders but in the end I understand that it's not really a priority. In ME your character is almost always armored so body weight sliders would be very low impact. It's not the same as Saints Row and Fallout for example. With height it's really just an issue of camera angles and cutscenes. ME employs a lot of physical interaction during cutscenes which would mean that they'd have to adjust cutscenes dynamically based on height which is a lot of work. Technically speaking, Sara is shorter than Scott so you can get some height variation if you choose.

Personally, i believe Bioware is doing good with spending their time / money elsewhere.
