Not sure where to ask this but hell. As someone who's trying to avoid as much footage as possible, are conversations with minor npcs done primarily with cinematic cut scenes, or do we have the DAI overhead shit camera?
Some NPC's do get cinematic cutscenes, so far ones with side quests do this. There are however some that still do it like DAI but slightly better where it zooms in more behind your character, like this for example -
Ian Soon Frazier @tibermoon Aaaaand here's a direct link to the Archives, a site where you can share the custom appearances for your Ryders. masseffectarchives.com/en_US/
ThisKory99 @thiskory99 Cool... a website that doesn't even work and let me share anything. Why not finish your products before releasing them?
Ian Soon Frazier @tibermoon The game (and site) doesn't launch until Tuesday.

I admit, I found that funny. I shouldn't have.
It's not like that for everyone. Although I think the final Morrigan model was one of those that received less criticism.
Mass Effect Trilogy, Dragon Age: Origins, Dragon Age 2, Dragon Age Inquisition, KOTOR, Jade Empire, Mass Effect Andromeda, SWTOR, Anthem, Mass Effect Legendary Edition
Can someone ask how the Deluxe version upgrade packs are going, and if they'll be ready for release day purchase from the relevant console stores etc. ?
PC Gamer @pcgamer Mass Effect: Andromeda's planet scanning system makes space travel boring bit.ly/2neYnlK
I always find it weird when someone use arguments to say that they don't like something that also applies to the system they think is superior. ME2 planet scanning doesn't have risk: no enemy encounters in that game and running out of fuel just means getting brought back to the nearest system with a mass relay free of charge (which means you make sure to run out at the farthest system to get a free return). It also takes a lot more than 15 seconds to mine one planet, especially when you run out of probes all the time without the upgrade (we are talking minutes here).
Also, very interesting that ME1 isn't mentioned, considering that MEA system map is clearly based on that game. Except that you have an arrow that tells you were anomalies are instead of having to check every millimeters of the system with your cursor (which looks a lot less annoying to move might I add) and there is more details to the system. Moving is animated instead of basically instant, which does looks a bit annoying to me, but I might actually like it, seen things in a video and playing are two different things.
Yeah, I mean the space travel is literally that - space travel. Tempest is literally flying to the new locations and you can back out and 'see' where your orbitting. That's pretty damn cool. Frankly I prefer it over ME2, all be it the weird 'zoom in' on the planet prior to it zooming out is kinda odd-ball. But that's the only real quirk I think is odd or a little irritating.

... How can we forget those few folks who tried to 'prove' that Cassandra's face is male one >.>''''
"...are still trying to prove..."
After 5 years and $40 million they give you a Mass Effect beta demo to prepare for Anthem. Sold at full price featuring never to be resolved cliffhangers. BioWare is over Pyjaks.
Kip McCloud @kip_McCloud PLEASE give us an ability wheel and not favorites on PC. You didn't play the game on insane if you think favorites will suffice.
Ian Soon Frazier @tibermoon I've beaten the game on Insane. Favorites sufficed.

I'd like to hear their reaction to someone who asks that who has a disability that limits their capabilities to play the way the devs are forcing us to play.

Uhmm sorry but someone with a game impeding disability shouldn't be able to beat the game on the hardest difficulty. That's pure nonesense. Also replacing the favorites with a OT power wheel wouldn't help. The only people that care about that are the people that keep blaming consoles for everything bad.
I do hope that the increased emphasis on mobility doesn't hamper people being able to beat the game one handed on normal or below. That is the actual issue.

I'm not caring about the insanity part. I'm caring about the need to pause and direct and aim.

Ian Soon Frazier @tibermoon And to be clear, I'm not an amazing player (some of our QA guys are). It does take both patience and tactics, though.
Kip McCloud @kip_McCloud Fair enough, I just don't understand why take so much freedom away from players, especially with squad power usage being removed.
Ian Soon Frazier @tibermoon I understand. We've added a ton of freedom in other areas, though, from the way build your character to itemization. I hope you'll find that it balances out in the end. If not, though, please let me know--the feedback is valuable.

Ahh I forgot about the looking while paused part. Yes that is an issue.
Zac Elawar @zelawar makes the right point, but at the same time, I would wish he'd take the criticism more seriously. gamerant.com/mass-effect-andromeda-animation-criticism-response/ Michael Gamble @gamblemike I do appreciate the critiques. That means we are taking it seriously
Zac Elawar @zelawar When a studio has had the same feedback game after game and doesn't address it, sorry if it agitates the fans.
Michael Gamble @gamblemike you're totally right. And im sorry if I gave you the impression it didn't matter to us. We are lucky to have folks like you care. Zac Elawar @zelawar But at the same time, they're right in that it really shouldn't be an issue. Anyway, I'll be playing Day 1. Expect honesty.
Michael Gamble @gamblemike I'll be here man. Waiting
