Mass Effect News Thread

Just a heads-up for everyone, the Twitter Archive threads are now up to date for both DA and ME. So if you're just looking for the tweets (for now, posted just as they have been posted here) - check 'em out!

Blair Brown @thefiddzz
@mattcolville legit re-inspired a group of us Bioware devs to try starting again for the first time. Really excited!

 Bioware devs and DnD sounds like a fun combination.

@mrjoelmac Remind you of something?

I may be reading more than there is. Still, I like to point out his words :
Unique in design
narrative
art direction

I think Gamble / devs teased elsewhere about unique levels and missions. Now, combine that with art direction and narrative  and we may yet see colony settlements from the MW races with their own art/architectural designs. What will a Turian or krogan colony settlement look like? I also suspect, that each Helius cluster species we will encounter on "their turf" will show their own unique architectural designs. I'm speaking of the Khet, Remnant and other Helius races.

Support for this conjecture can be found in the E3 2015 video @1:25 where a Remnant find rises from the ground, add that concept art showing what some called "truck stop" and we can reasonable conclude that ME:A will give us very different mission levels and art. I'm not sure about the narrative, though..

What's missing from the settlements shown in the teasers are people... so far they are absolutely lifeless.

You are. Nothing about that tweet says "colony settlements".

Not saying they don't necessarily exist. It would be perfectly within the realm of possibility that, once we claim an area, maybe the asari on board the ship(s) want to create their own settlement, for example. But nothing about the use of the words "narrative" and "art direction" mean it has to be that. He could just as easily be talking about a dream sequence or a mission where you investigate the mysterious nests of that giant flying manta-like thing from the trailer and said nesting grounds look really unique. He could pretty much be describing anything.

I'm tempted to google them, but I'm not going to. And yes, the next question is why was he googling them...ugh.

It's just a worm. Same thing can happen with a lot of animals when they die if they have some parasites.

ps: You are reading too much into it Sartoz.

I am guessing that there is the same amount of cackling going on behind those tweets as the ones dealing with arachnophobia during DAI's dev cycle. Fans were asking if there'd be spiders, devs knew about Blinky.

Yeah, I remember the whole Blinky thing.
