ME:A - Nvidia CES 2017 Trailer (Now HQ!)

Also, the profile "rank" (likely amount of stats profiles give you) seems to be dependent on how much you've spent in associated skill trees. You can see (blink and you miss it) that when they spent bunch of points on flamethrower they got "Technical Overseer unlocked. The Engineer profile is now at rank 4"

Hey I was just being a little sarcastic, but I guess I was also beginning to hope for the idea of profiles being tied to your weapon's a bit too strongly.  Not that I blame BioWare really.  My fault for reading too much into things that aren't there and I am like 99% sure its only going to be a minor annyance. 
Now that's something I could get behind. 

Switching loadouts in and out of combat isn't an issue, sure. But if I decide to roll with nothing but biotics, and give myself overload on a biotic Ryder, I would like to be able to set up a tech explosion without having to go into go through three layers to switch to a class profile to set it off and then switch back versus hitting 4-8 on my mouse or simply hitting a shoulder button and selecting the unmapped power with an analog stick.


If all I had to do was hit down on the d-pad on a controller or some other modifying key on my keyboard/mouse in order to swap to another set profile while still in the gameplay, either with a pause or without, I'd have less of a problem.

I hope not. Having level requirements for specific quests/missions is lazy design.

I thought it was 70? 

holy shit the sky is falling folks

What do you mean?

BSN being BSN, people acting mortally wounded about Bioware changing things that ultimately don't matter ("you can change classes whenever you want? but m-muh lore!" "only three active powers i can't believe it" etc).

Yeah lore might not be important to you, but it is lore breaking to see a guy literally change between all those classes on the fly without any type of specialization. Playing a specific class was grounded in the character, some variability was allowed and it was ok. But this is ridiculous. This guy puts Shepard to shame with his proficiency in combat. This definitely matters and is a valid criticism.

You can do a lot of damage with just 3 powers.

You just need good power synergy, like some of classes out of ME3MP, the Geth Inflitrator with Tac-cloak/Hunter Mode/Proximity mine is the best all round weapon kit, if you can get around it's glass cannon like nature with Cyclonic III/IV's or gitting gud. The Turian Sentinel which proves on a Sent, that you only really need is Tech Armor/Warp/Overload to be good in all combat scenarios, & team comps. What about the N7 Furry? Who can literally wipe everything with biotic explosions in a timely manner with just Throw/Annihilation Field/Dark Channel.

Now with powers having independent cooldowns, you could instantly do power combos, & clean up with your weapon of choice.

Pretty much this.
Learn about the lore before saying "LORE BREAK EVERYWHERE".

Two points about this video. Firstly the Tempest in flight looks absolutely gorgeous. Secondly, I've never paused a trailer so often as I did this one, studying each of those menus in detail. It may only have been a short vid but there was plenty to see and plenty to like.
