I'd rather they show other parts of the game. All they've shown so far is combat and exploration.

Honestly, I'd agree with you but I'll take anything I can get at this point...

Mass Effect & Dragon Age, are just the greatest. The feeling of being a Hero and going on an Adventure with a ragtag band of merry misfits is just the greatest.

And it's on something we've been asking about for a while too. Hopefully, it answers some questions! Maybe, it'll even set our minds at ease about the ability limits.

Exactly, It might not be what everyone was hoping for but it'll give us some new info to chew on for at least a few days and I think most people are curious to see more about the abilities.

I've given up on Mass Effect Andromedas marketing at this point- the lack of any interesting information since the last trailer has completely killed my hype.

I expect a five minute video virtually identical to the last short gameplay video we saw a month ago, with voice over that tells us nothing we don't already know. But we'll be told not to worry because we'll get moor information "soon" (aka when the game is released).

Maybe I shouldn't be so pessimistic, but I'm just bored at this point. The game is barely a month from release but my excitement hasn't been this low since I started following its production. :-/

I hope they switch between Scott and Sara for the combat trailers too.

As for combat mechanics, I'm crossing my fingers that, if you specialized in powers from one profile (like, say, Soldier), that you aren't more limited than someone who goes between multiple profiles. Not eager about being limited to three active abilities (+ the profile special ability), but maybe the different "firing" options they talked about will make it feel less limited.

Well they have said you can stick to one profile and aren't limited to the 3. Not sure how but hopefully tonight's video will clarify how that whole system works I know I want to know as this new power systems are confusing th ehell out of me and how Adepts are going to be able to access and use all their abilities

If they have male Ryder for this it would be the third trailer in a row, quite different from what they originally said.

I was referring to how you select and use your combat abilities that didn't really change at all throughout the trilogy Yes ME3 had MP but SP in terms of powers and how you used and activated them was more or less the same all the way through

I think the key change was in the number of powers controller players could access in real time. In ME1 only one power was hotkeyed to the controller and you absolutely had to use the power wheel.

In subsequent games there were three hotkeyed powers and it sounds like lots of players primarily focused on three 'go-to' powers without resorting to the wheel. This approach was reinforced by MP, which is apparently (and sadly) why Bioware have now scrapped the wheel altogether.

I just hope the keyboard mouse interface is better then as those are what I use for the game. I won't count on it though

with the pause to aim it's not too bad but seeing as MEA dosen't have that. I'm going to have to go back to doing what I did when I first played the trilogy. I'm hoping I should still be alright though. I just need to know how the power system works which hopefully tonight's vid will illuminate

I assume as much yes how the profiles and power systems work. Orif not in this particular vid then it'll likely be covered at some point during this series. W won't know for sure though until tonight when it's out though. By tonight I'm referring to UK time as it's usually 5/6pm around the time Bioware shows their vids here. Still I'm looking forward to seeing it as I definitely want answers to. Especially as I wanted to play an Adept Sara first time out and I want to know how best to do this.
