A bit OT I suppose but what do we think Bioware's posting schedule for the last 4 weeks before launch will be? Because they have the Gameplay Series, the last two briefings, and a rumored cinematic trailer with Sara. Plus people have been speculating we might get a Jaal bio + Character Kit even though they've been a bit reluctant to call him a squadie. Are we sure the supposedly Sara centric trailer isn't the last combat video? I'm pretty sure they've said it was a cinematic trailer, like the N7 Day trailer and the most recent one that showed Liam and Cora for the first time. It's possible we might see Scott in the next gameplay trailer, though.

Priorities. More important things took priority. What, like #PrettyGoodBanging? Exactly! Now you're getting it! Seriously, while sex scenes are part of it, there was also stuff like kissing and holding that created problems -- things I'm sure even you would want with your more ace romances.

Didn't they say that you could only change profile outside of combat? But that you could change your 3 abilities with the favorite system in combat as well? Or did I miss some info? Check out what a Favorite is: it's a Profile + 3 powers. Pretty cool. As a way to get around a 3 ability limit, the idea sounds very cool. Definitely looking forward to seeing how this works in play.

They were able to do both in some of the DAI romances like Josephine's without issue so I don't see why they have to be mutually exclusive since they've done it before with things a lot harder than having Ryder be slightly thinner or bulkier.

I'm not talking about powers or passives, I'm talking about class bonuses. For example, changing from this class.. ...to this one... ...your weapon's stats must change, too. Very happy about the armor color customization by the way. Didn't they say that you could only change profile outside of combat? But that you could change your 3 abilities with the favorite system in combat as well? Or did I miss some info? In the video they say... "Favorites (profiles) which allow you immediate access to your sets of powers so you can change up on the fly..." Each "favorite" profile has to belong to a class... Attachment DeletedIt doesn't matter what type of powers you choose to put in it but you must choose a class first. You can have a soldier class profile cause you like the bonuses this class gives you and fill it with 3 biotic skills, or whatever you like...

It wasn't without problems, though. I haven't seen this for myself, but there's a YouTuber who does a lot of Bioware focused videos who did characters for every romance, and she said in comments that when she covered the Josephine romance, it was originally with a qunari male, but she had to scrap it and start over again when she got to the fireplace scene, because his head was clipping half-way through his chest the whole time. And as an another example, they apparently had to put in a LOT of extra man hours to make it so Iron Bull was romanceable for dwarves specifically because they knew that their fanbase were size-kink fetishists enjoyed the idea of the height difference.

Now, you've maybe softened your stance, considered other possibilities, or whatnot? The reality is likely that they had thousands of things to do, and the body customization just didn't make the cut, this time. Maybe it was never really on the table this time, but will next time, since we kept the issue alive. I'd really like to see it in a future game, but there might be real hurdles of which I'm unaware. I'll not hold my breath; that's for sure.

This is why I don't casually advertise my affiliation with the BSN. This is what people associate with us. It's BioWare's fault for pandering to this stupidity, instead of focusing 100% on actual story content. Oh, well. Different discussion for a different place.

I'm torn on the idea of including body customization. As much as I might like to have the option, I feel like I'd rather have a greater variety of armor/clothing customization options. The more body types you have, the more likely that those kinds of things are the first to be limited in order to accommodate.
Procedural textures are making that less of a problem than it used to be, but it's still certainly an issue. Maybe there's a happy medium that can be reached. But then we have rigging/animation to contend with.
I completely understand why it might be a lower priority, especially with this game, considering they have both a new engine and new animation tech to deal with.

Key word - some. And I'm not talking only about romance. Best example - seeing the tip of dwarf's head or qunari's chest when NPCs should be looking at their face. Good for you that Josie's romance worked, really, but other romances (and not only romances) didn't handle different body sizes that well. So while I find different body types interesting option - and something that would be nice to have one day - I would rather have them slowly figure out how to make it work, than put it in as half-assed feature (and I think if they could put it in in MEA, they would do it without us asking).

People can believe this marketing strategy has all been planned from the beginning if they wish, but BioWare had been behind schedule on this game for a long time. (Opinion? Yes, based on observable behaviors.) This marketing approach was a necessity, because so much of the final product has been up in the air until the 11th hour. It's been frustrating, but it's better than over-promising and under-delivering. Edit: typo

Makes me very nervous about what others things in this game I've been looking forward to were lies or are no longer happening. Anyway, I don't want to make this thread more offtopic than it already is so I'll stop now.
