Info from the PC Gamer (UK) issue

We are supposed to be building new homes (colonies). Atleast I was under the impression that that was our main mission. Even the leak said something about a colony system. It seems that idea was abandoned. I hope not and that we will see something about that in the gameplay vid supposedly being released next week.

Another point on the big bad topic, shinobi on Gaf said after the last trailer that the archon isn't really 'evil'. I think he might be more of an antagonist/rival then a big bad.

Because he isn't.

So there is something Bioware says you think it's correct .

I believe the Kett are more agressive natives (with whom you can even sympathize), but not such a big enemy that the player has to save the entire universe (like in most RPG's)

Excited about this:
- Fabrice: “We are approaching the completionist aspect very differently, because we’ve done and learned a lot from Inquisition. But we’ve also observed what other games have been doing, like The Witcher. And it was very important for us that the quantity of scope doesn’t downgrade the quality of whatever you are doing there.”
- Side quests are 'meaningful'.
- Loyalty missions like in ME2
- Interrupts return
- "The ability to express tone and different emotions to many NPCs in the game, and have different reactions from them based on that, is not just exclusive to your love interests anymore. It’s kind of sprinkled more throughout the game."
- Instead of rolling you use a dash attack and cover is automatic


Most important bit:

There are also over a dozen ‘hubs’ in addition to the planet areas, including the Nexus, a Citadel-like space station, and Kadara, a populated zone that looks like a more cyberpunk version of a Wild West town from Firefly.

Not happy about this:
- There are also puzzle-locked vaults to uncover

The puzzles are not hard, they're just boring and tedious.

My sources tell me there is a ballroom dancing competion, and you can take your cousin bowling. 

About 'bowling' -- I recently found out about this:
