It wasn't because of selecting the powers that was clunky though. If it's onto about pressing a key, I don't see how it can be clunky. The problem might come if the loading of the favs is problematic, but that's a separate issue from the mechanics of picking a fav setup. Remember moving in DAI? Remember how it had the "lake effect"? Okay, do something for me right now. Imagine that you're in the middle of a lake. Imagine you start swimming to shore. Note that for the first couple'a seconds, you aren't really moving at all, you're just a mash of flailing limbs? That's what DAI was like. For the first half second, you weren't moving at all. Then, for the rest of the second, you barely started moving at all. Then for the next second you started to pick up speed. Hence, "lake effect." Or in other words, the "amount of time it took to reach maximum speed" in DAI was too f'in long. This is one of the ways in which it can be clunky. This is all for the KB+M mind you. I understand on controllers it was great. This especially became a problem when there was something that we wanted to pick up. Run towards it. 10 yards from, 5 yards, stop, maybe 2 yards from it. Then it's a game of "how long do I have to press this button before I can move another yard." And there was tons of shit to pick up in DAI. I'm actually surprised that as many people that played it on KB+M, stuck through it. As I said, The fact that the loading of the response of the swap might take long or not respond correctly could be a problematic. But this can happen on console as well, and it's separated by the mechanic itself, Which is quite simple.

*shrug* You play it on a controller? If not, you prolly didn't hear about it because we were all being told, "Hey, works great on a controller!" with absolute silence from the dev team.

Andrew Lyle McArthur @andyroos_MUSIC A rather small thing but - How frequently will I run into ammo for my MWGalaxy weapons in Andromeda? Ian S. Frazier @tibermoonNever. But you'll find raw material that can be field-repurposed into thermal clips via your omnitool quite often. Ian S. Frazier @tibermoon i.e. Mechanically speaking, you'll find "ammo" about as often as in ME3. That is interesting and nice.

Never had that issue with a controller. Odd. And it wasn't just with starting. It was with stopping as well. So, 10 yards, 5 yards, 2 yards, release the button, -2 yards. FUCK!@$@#!#@!@@

I'm not, but happy for you. Hope you have a great time. I don't think the problems with kb/m were necessarily caused by the controller support. Either way, I hope they learnt their lesson from DAI.

I feel like Ian and his team, many being fans themselves, saw a lot of the same stupid crap that we saw; and they saw a need to fix this crap. Battlefields strewn with clips and crates are definitely crap that needed fixing. The thing about 'stupid crap' is that it is 1000% easier to design it out (or in) from the start, rather than retro-fitting it in a patch or late in development...

Makes people think they are, for the most part, ready to ship their game out.

It was like they were attached to a slowly retracting rubber band. And yes, lake Effect snow hehe
