What info are you looking for, bud? Just curious to know , and I'd honestly direct this at everyone ! (other than the obvious answer on this thread being jaal info pfft) Well, other than Jaal since it seems he is my last hope for an alien squadmate I like, a few things: 1) Information on our non-squad crew. Kallo, Lexi, that female science officer, and whoever else is aboard. 2) A better look at how the dialogue goes and works. 3) What extent we are able to customize the colonies we can establish. 4) Which LIs have the kind of romance I am looking for. 5) The extent of character creation and customization. I am actually really curious about the krogan woman on the Nexus

While I like them, I'm sorry for you, that Bioware made all three aliens with backgrounds you don't generally like. I hope Jaal will be more of your liking. Thanks. I hope so too. I'm still just flabbergasted that the AI would let them be involved in the expedition. PeeBee I kind of get since she hasn't done anything terrible as far as we are aware and she did things like flirt and cheat to get a ticket. But Vetra and Drack are straight up criminals, and not even benefit the mission despite that. Why bring criminals who aren't huge assets along? I hope for your sake you end up liking some of the other squad mates. I can't see you being happy or liking the game if you end up hating everyone. I'm optimistic about everyone. There hasn't been a character I've hated. Just been meh about. That was one of the reasons Mass Effect 2 is my least favorite Mass Effect game. Most of the squadmates were people I didn't like or hated, and you were forced to have some of them. Even some of the ones on the upper half on my list did things that I couldn't tolerate but you couldn't do anything about it. The majority of people I liked in ME2 weren't squadmates but crew since they seemed to have more genuinely good people. Military force that's available, easier then recruiting vast aumonts of soldiers. Besides, the AI looks quite sinister/mysterious in any case.

That's some lowkey trolling Is it? Maybe I'm speaking facts. They are hyping him up too much. He's too good to be true. BW does not do this. It's like breaking the law! Seriously though, I honesty have no idea if he will be permanent. Bad mojo!! *burnssagestick*

Oh I know why we aren't getting anything on Jaal! He's a temp squadmate who won't join us on the Tempest, can only be recruited on his homeworld if we go there and the romance ends when we leave to live in our new world at the end of the game! If you listen carefully, you can just about hear the sound of countless fangirl/boys hearts breaking. Patrick Weekes would be proud.

Hrm. I'm actually looking forward to more information on the game mechanics and stuff. Don't get me wrong, I do want some more screens/animated scenes of Jaal and I guess some confirmation romance-wise is very important for a couple of people here...but then again I didn't really have high expecations to begin with. The hype is real, yes, and the devs are joing us on this on their twitter feeds and teasing and all that...and they gave us the Jaalpaper which I first thought was prepared in advance but now I'm not so sure about it. So I'm rather grateful about that and love that even though they seem to have set themselves some very strict rules on how to handle their information flow...they will still bend them a little bit. I know people are frustrated/irritated with the lack of video material and stuff...but I'm actually rather glad not to know to much. Going in blind can be very rewarding. And though I'm one for story I liked the fighting mechanics of the series as well...the sounds and feeling, the complete 'epicness' of fighting and throwing around biotics or cloaking yourself, etc etc...I don't consider it a bad thing that they want to show that to their fans first...because they (the fans) have been asking for that a very long time. ME for me is the whole package...the whole feeling and everything just fitting together. If everything was just romance the romance itself would feel a bit, I dunno...not cheap...but not as special. So concentrating on all the other aspects and trying to enjoy them and lokking forward to them makes all the talk, banter and realtionships with the npcs a bit more rewarding, I think. Is it just me...? I'm really looking forward to the upcoming video and finding out about some/all skills...so that I can plan my Ryder 'class'-wise, which then again will kind of shape her personality for me as well

I agree, in my opinion I actually would rather have more videos focused around gameplay (weapons/skills/etc) than videos focused on the story. I admittedly have never gone into a game blind, I have always known about some major plot/story scene (be it intentional or not) so I don't want anything to be spoiled for me accidentally, at least for this game anyway. Even when I started playing the Witcher 3 parts of it had been spoiled for me and that definitely dampened the emotional impact of some scenes.

For me it's not that I care mostly about romance, I just think that characters are what BioWare does best. BioWare combat has always been just alright to me, graphics have never blown me away, main stories have been kind of disappointing for a long time, etc etc. So it's come down to my only true source of excitement being learning more about the squadmates I'll end up attached to, romantically or not.
At the very least it's the stuff I'm dying to know about. I don't really care too much about seeing combat videos before launch, but I'm not disappointed that it's happening. That's important, and I do want to get an idea of how smoothly the combat might run. But really in the end, you only ever know when you play it. These videos don't really tell you anything about how combat actually feels and flows when you're playing directly and it's not some specifically chosen section that the player has probably run through many times.

I think I said this before, but I wouldn't be surprised if Jaal was our introduction to the Andromeda version of Biotics. Which I think there must be, because I can't imagine future games within the Andromeda galaxy having only the Milky Way squadmates have biotic-like abilities. I wonder what color they'd be! Normal is blue, Javik's were green. Sparkly purple space magic? Please... oh Creators, PLEASE let the angara have sparkly/glittery purple and pink biotics And now I can't help but imagine the Angara congregating together and looking down at the humans like

We've actually been the most patient out of everyone, and we know his info will be last, so sometimes I think the devs were extra kind when teasing us.

I'm really trying to avoid going into the game knowing too much - at this point all I really want is Jaal's bio, and I'm hoping that in (what I'm assuming is the last) cinematic trailer, Sara will be featured as promised, and that we'll hear a bit more of all the companions speaking (including and especially Jaal as we have yet to hear him yet). That and the briefings will scratch my itch for anything story-related nicely until the game releases. Getting more romance confirmations would be nice, but I've resigned myself to the fact I'll have to find out myself after launch. I'm pretty excited about the gameplay videos though. Though weapons and skills is probably the one I least care about (weapons especially, though I'm hoping they show us how exactly we can access more than three powers in combat like they've said), I look forward to learning more about crafting (especially armors), resource gathering/mining (will it be grinde-y?), how the squad powers work, the character creator, the dialogue wheel (but without showing any important story-related stuff) and so on.

Alright so Ian said he has no idea how the 15 minute gameplay trailer came about, but they are beginning a gameplay series beginning tomorrow!Yeah, a series of short (I'd imagine 7 mins at most, if we're lucky) gameplay videos each focusing on a specific topic presumably with no more than 2 minutes of uncut gameplay. Oh, joy.
Sorry if I come off as mean towards the devs but honestly we're like, what, 5 weeks from release? And we still haven't got a proper gameplay video. I would have preferred one 15-20 minute long uncut gameplay footage without commentary or anything, as opposed to a gameplay series that probably won't tell us much about the overall experience of gameplay, rather focusing on specific aspects of gameplay. They can showcase those aspects in one long video and everyone can actually get a feel for the gameplay, then.
Also there is a lot more to gameplay than weapons and abilities - combat is just one part of the game, a part that you can practically ignore depending on your difficulty setting. However apparently a lot of people wanted to see more combat, so I guess it's just me.
Ofc all of this is my subjective opinion, and kinda off-topic as well so, yeah. Sorry about that. I could be wrong about all this as well, maybe they'll give us like 10 minutes of uncut gameplay with detailed explanations on each ability and new weapon types, etc. which could be interesting. Still, not as interesting as, say, the new crafting system, or the inside of the Tempest, or the new agree/disagree system that's "replacing" the paragon/renegade system, more information on the profile changing thing and how it doesn't make having to choose between specific abilities and thus providing a better more immersive and engaging roleplaying experience by creating a unique character completely meaningless and let us have all of them and become overpowered, or the new dialogue wheel and what all those new icons mean, or how commanding squadmates is different (or if it is different) in this game, AND LITERALLY ANYTHING OTHER THAN MORE COMBAT
I'm tired and I'm not happy about having to wait a week for each new "gameplay series" video for something completely useless that does not actually give us any idea of what gameplay will be like when we're playing the game.
Lmao sorry for that mini-rant (and yes, that was a mini-rant, an actual rant would be three times as long haha). I put it in a spoiler in case you want to avoid the salt and negativity, I think I've just been deprived of information for too long and I'm getting impatient. None of this is directed at you @beautesombre btw, I just used your post as a starting point, sorry

. I hope for your sake you end up liking some of the other squad mates. I can't see you being happy or liking the game if you end up hating everyone. I'm optimistic about everyone. There hasn't been a character I've hated. Just been meh about. I might be the only person so far who's been like "Whoa, you're amazing!" and "You're awesome, too!" each time a new character is revealed I love them all! You're not alone. I feel for the people who are less than excited or upset about this or that character; no one wants to see an IP they enjoy be filled with characters they don't think they will have fun interacting with. But, we know very little about any of these characters tbh. I'm cautiously very excited (is that a thing?) for all of them, especially Jaal.

Yes, of course they'll get to that stuff as well, it's just that this is the first real piece of information with a video and everything, since the last trailer, and they're still giving us more combat. And we'll have to wait like a week or more for the more interesting (imo of course) parts of gameplay.

I guess they want to get this out of the system as first due to that.
