I remember very clearly one statement saying that they didn't want to punish players for want to re-specs skills. Now it costs credits. Tsc I think they might've changed this, but it's not a punishment, and the first time's free. As I'd like to try everything and wanted to change skills after each mission, it's punishing me. All those favorites will only be enjoyable at higher levels. And someone care to ask how many skill-points we receive per level? because to have everything, we need 756.

As we know that there will be some kind of 'face sharing' mechanism, I'm sure some artistic bright spark will make a close-as-dammit copy of the Ryder's faces using the CC, which can be shared and then slightly adjusted. Surely? I sure hope someone out there is planning on it already. Because I want my brown-eyed Scott back. ,.-~*´¨¯¨`*·~-.¸-(_MEA_)-,.-~*´¨¯¨`*·~-.¸
An awesome idea to share one's face.

All those favorites will only be enjoyable at higher levels. And someone care to ask how many skill-points we receive per level? because to have everything, we need 756. I'm mildly disappointed by this. It will only be relevant in my intitial one or two playthroughs, but still... I was looking forward to really experimenting with a variety of powers, figuring out what the new ones do. I didn't play ME3MP, so there are even more "new" powers for me. I'll have to be more conservative, now.

Scanned faces COULD be tweaked if they rebuilt them from scratch for character creator. Even then, the thing about custom faces is the perfect geometrical scan - perfect being the key word here - the scan duplicates all the little imperfections that together create more realistic human face. No one is perfectly symetrical, the most beautiful models all have small imperfections, asymetry etc. Human eye is trained to see that (even if you don't realize it) because we interact with hundreds of 'faces' every day. That's why even the most technically advanced CGI faces will often look fake to our eye - they're perfectly symetrical.
Tweaking scanned Scott/Sara faces would require rebuilding skin textures so we can shade them differently, rebuilding gemoetry so we can adjust it WHILE keeping the geometrical imperfections of the real models they were scanned from and all the jazz.

All those favorites will only be enjoyable at higher levels. And someone care to ask how many skill-points we receive per level? because to have everything, we need 756. I think it depends on whether you use new game plus as I believe MEA has that whereby you can just pick up and use an old character from where you left off. It dosen't matter to me because I'm only likely going to be specializing in one class/profile in each playthrough just as in the trilogy. I may occasionally play a character that does take powers from 2 like say Adept/Infiltrator which is kind of what I have in mind for my first run. But that's likely to be as far as I'll go.

The opening scene and character creator in DAI creeped me the F out with the spider noises.

Deep Dive VR @deepdive_VR ME:A: can we RESET our skill tree anytime or do we need a certain unlockable condition to do that? Thks. Ian S. Frazier @tibermoonFull re-specs are possible in the Tempest medbay, but they cost credits. First time's cheap. I remember very clearly one statement saying that they didn't want to punish players for want to re-specs skills. Now it costs credits. Tsc ,.-~*´¨¯¨`*·~-.¸-(_MEA_)-,.-~*´¨¯¨`*·~-.¸
That's sad on two fronts. (A) That tells me don't believe what I say but do watch what I do. ( Is the purpose to punish newbies who are trying to get a handle on the game combat intricacies? In this game, even I will be a newbie regarding the skills and abilities combos to come up with a strong character. I cannot buy the logic that says it forces you to make wise choices. Newbies don't have the contextual background to do so.

All those favorites will only be enjoyable at higher levels. And someone care to ask how many skill-points we receive per level? because to have everything, we need 756. Fair enough, it makes it more difficult (depending on how much it costs), but I still don't see it as punishing. On favorites it depends a lot on how fast we can increase our levels. Another thing they reused from DA:I wo:wizard: Considering the discussion, I guess you're talking about respec, which worked that way in ME3 as well. But yeah, they clearly reused something from DAI. Another thing they reused from DA:I Yeh. Now I just can't wait for there to be a 'Best Armor, weapon, & build' website for single player ME:A like there is for DAI. Yay. /sarcasm off There are plenty of sites with best builds, weapons and armour for each class of ME2 and ME3. It's not something new (in rpgs in general) that some builds/weapons/etc. work better then others.

The only difference is that now a lot of people who played ME/Bioware games before will be in the same shoes. I don't recall if they said exactly that. If I have time I'll try to find that tweet.

I want everyone to hear my screams of pain. I just picked up the Turtle Beach 420X cordless system for the xbox one. They can be used with mobile phones as well and maybe even a computer.

As I'd like to try everything and wanted to change skills after each mission, it's punishing me. All those favorites will only be enjoyable at higher levels. And someone care to ask how many skill-points we receive per level? because to have everything, we need 756. I think it depends on whether you use new game plus as I believe MEA has that whereby you can just pick up and use an old character from where you left off. It dosen't matter to me because I'm only likely going to be specializing in one class/profile in each playthrough just as in the trilogy. I may occasionally play a character that does take powers from 2 like say Adept/Infiltrator which is kind of what I have in mind for my first run. But that's likely to be as far as I'll go. But then, there'll be no value in re-spec as we already have a lot of skills, and at the start, we don't have much credits to afford to do it multiple times.

Its got a built in rechargeable battery good for 13-15 hours of use. It has a micro usb port and it comes with a cable to use. You probably have a base to plug into a wall.

I think it depends on whether you use new game plus as I believe MEA has that whereby you can just pick up and use an old character from where you left off. It dosen't matter to me because I'm only likely going to be specializing in one class/profile in each playthrough just as in the trilogy. I may occasionally play a character that does take powers from 2 like say Adept/Infiltrator which is kind of what I have in mind for my first run. But that's likely to be as far as I'll go. But then, there'll be no value in re-spec as we already have a lot of skills, and at the start, we don't have much credits to afford to do it multiply times. well you don't have to use new game plus but it's likely the only way you'll be able to unlock absolutely everything. Plus you won't need to unlock everything to beat the game. It's up to you to decvide what your limits are like for example above where I stated mine.

No. I'll do a NG+, as I did in the OT. 3 times playing the same Shepard just to have all weapons X, and one insanity playthrough. I'm just complaining that I won't do it that many times as the game is still fresh as I'd like.

Again, what's the rationale behind it? ... to force you to grind to get the credits?
I don't know. The same reason why respecting cost in previous Bioware game. They don't want it to be free. The trouble with free re-speccing is that it basically means Ryder can do anything at any time. Full biotic one mission, full tech the next misison, full combat the next mission. There's no choices, or consequences to those choices. No real customization of your character because you can just be whatever you want whenever you want. It certainly discourages the incentive to replay the game. Also re-speccing is a game mechanic required to help new players who get it wrong a few times before they learn the system but, ultimately, doesn't make a lot of sense in terms of immersion or verisimilitude. Re-speccing should be possible but discouraged, IMO. Particularly if it is being done over and over. The steadily increasing cost of re-speccing that they tend to have in these games is the best way to do that.
