Jaal Ama Darav (Official Thread)

OMG guys...I'm so much in love with the video we've gotten!

It just looks awesome...all of it and I think I spotted everything you did as well...so no need for me to mention it - what a relief since I'm hours too late and too slow to keep up with the pace here anyway.

I love the general look of the game, the details in the surroundings, how the fighting looks, the characters ingame and was very happy to catch some glimpses on the NPC/enemies and just....everything!

It just gave me so much hope for the game.
I was rather reluctant to go and preorder and still will wait a bit longer before/if doing so...but if that what was shown translate like I hope into the actual game then...wow.

I still have some worries for the fighting mechanics because in DAI it looked flashy as well but felt most of the times like it was only that: pretty burst of colour and light with no real felt impact on the enemies...I could somersault and dance and still they wouldn't really die any faster because of it...but hopefully there will be some 'weight' behind attacks in MEA...we'll see.

I just LOVED the look of the planet that might be the Angaran home world...the luminous plant life...well...I'm in love with it all.

Did I already mention that?

And the icon of Jaal was really cute...I didn't see it at first...so thanks for pointing it out a couple of pages back!


I'm really really happy right now

I'll admit that throughout the whole video, I kept making sure to pause and look at the squad icons in case a Jaal one came up. I wasn't disappointed!

Loghain and Blackwall come to mind.

Sara's face look good, really. I always make my characters face but if the cc will be really bad and I won't be able to make anything decent I will gladly use default. 
I really don't like the armor though. I hope we'll have a choice. 

Sara's hair looks pretty good, too! I have high hopes for the CC.... I KNOW, I SHOULDN'T, but still. I keep changing how I want my first Ryder to look. Sure would be helpful to see the CC! Not sure why they think we should be "surprised" by that. Romances, I can at last understand their perspective on waiting. But why the CC?

Well that didn't work.

I actually like Sara's armor. Most of the armors I've seen actually, I'm loving the designs of. But I tend to prefer the bulkier, more masculine (for lack of a better term) options, for my female characters especially. I like for them to look tough! Sleeker, more form-fitting, designs are good too though... hopefully we have some nice varied options. It does look like there's a lot of different armor types, and it sound like we can mix and match different pieces. I loved that we could do that in the trilogy, but then for the unique armors we were unfortunately stuck with the whole suit, helmet included. Hope that's not the case this time (or that we can at least remove the helmet).

Hello! I've been lurking around here for a while now but now I shall finally step out from the shadows!!!
I'm crazily hyped after watching this newest video, it was just beautiful. And also, any Jaal I can get from it, I take.
Now, I am not sure if someone said it already but I honestly think this beautiful nighttime jungle something (in the combat trailer) is the Angara homeworld. It reminds me a lot of the one from the previous trailer we got.

Another note, if they just add more soundtrack pieces like the one we hear at the end of both of the trailers I've mentioned - I'll be overjoyed.
Just like I'm overjoyed now to join the discussion! Nice to meet j'all! Alright I'll stop now

Aw, thanks Sorry if he looks to feminine, I'm used to drawing women haha.

Welcome!

And yes I thought that too. Vetra didn't like the idea of Ryder leaving the ship alone, and then we see him alone a few scenes later, exiting the Tempest. I would guess Ryder is trying to show he means no harm by letting them take him at gunpoint to their leader, with him remaining unarmed. As he said, they are not soldiers, so he is trying to be peaceful when making contact with the Angara.

I'm happy we agree!
And I am even more happier we can chat! I was reading this thread for a week now (and basing on the speed new posts come up with I'll probably never finish that) and I just sat there amazed by the warm atmosphere of this thread and the kindness of people. So I just couldn't wait any longer and had to join in to chat with you guys personally!
