I'll start with the story and play that until the multiplayer 'unlocks' naturally, i'm sure there will be a point in the narrative where the reason for the strike team stuff is explained, and once I reach that i'll hit the multiplayer hard.
I dunno, it'd just feel a bit weird to jump straight into the multiplayer before playing any of the story. Almost spoilerish, gameplay wise.

I have a sneaking suspicion he wouldn't feel so flattered, not after I gave him the nickname Super MAC*. (*which is of course a reference to the orbital MAC cannons in Halo, which packs 5325 megatons of explosive power, the implication here being that Mac Walters is a Super MAC that destroyed the Mass Effect franchise with one blow - the ending) On the flip side, kind of hard for him the screw anything else up? Right? Depends on whether you think a ruin can be destroyed. Don't get me wrong, I seriously doubt they could cause another ME3 ending-level controversy. The new hype bubble isn't inflated enough to explode. But if they don't wow the shit out of their fanbase with this game, I think a lot of people are going to just up and walk away from this franchise.

I'll be playing the trial, so I'm definitely skipping character creation. I think the default Sara looks alright, so that's probably who I'll be playing as.
I will try not to let the time limit affect my play style. Ten hours of play time is pretty long in five days, so I'm not too afraid of hitting the limit too soon.

I wonder if anyone intending to play the trial is going to do nothing except the critical path missions and see if they can speed run the game within the time limit?

Spend about half an hour creating my siblings then pretty much spending my first playthrough getting used to the controls as my first run of the game is more about learning the controls and mostly playing through the main story. I tend to leave the more exploration and various side missions till I'm more used to the game.

Spend probably an hour or so on the character creator to create both siblings to start off with. I'll have to see if they provide facecodes while customizing the faces. If it doesn't have a facecode then spend another half hour to an hour pulling sliders back one by one to zero and counting up till I was where I was at and record the number, so I always know how their faces will look. Then I will play the first few missions as each sibling to get a feel of how both genders feel in the story, and choose the one that I feel fits the story better.
By this time I'm going to guess my trial will end. I'll then be all set to play with my friends on launch day. Where we will be voice chatting each other while playing the story and sharing our experiences.

Making ugly Scott and beautiful Sara, then probably quitting the game and writing a fake review with fake spoilers on BSN calling it 'the worst game ever, as if Tommy Wiseau wanted to make a Big Rigs sequel'. I'll probably throw in a paragraph about SJWs ruining everything and that BioWare is on a warpath against white men. Then maybe I'll jump into multiplayer to check out the gameplay, and eventually I'll actually play the game. Yer tearing me apart Biower!

Probably spend a decent half hour to an hour on the CC before playing. Speaking of which, can anyone confirm if we're going to be able to make our PCs ahead of time like we could with ME3, please? I asked in another thread, but I don't believe anyone answered.

I asked in another thread, but I don't believe anyone answered. If you play the preview on 16th, I guess, since what you do in those 10 hours will carry over to the final game... I'll probably explore whatever environment I'm in until I stumble on a story point I can't skip out of and that takes me to the next location... like every other "first time".

I'll be spending a lot of time in the character creator, if I don't like any of the presets. I might go with the default Sarah if I can't be bothered and just want to get into it.
Spend a few hours in the campaign, then I will probably check out multiplayer for a bit.

I keep joking with my friends that I'll probably end up spending a week in the CC. And that will probably be the case, considering I spent 3 days in the CC in Inquisition, constantly restarting and going back because my Inquisitor looked like a shaved ape.

Even though I'd rather avoid the single player campaign, I'm gonna play it just to make sure that i understand all the game mechanics, power combos and things like that. If i jump straight into multiplayer, i may be missing out on some tips and tricks. So that's probably what I'll be doing, trying to get the single player out of the way as quickly as possible so that I can sink my teeth into the multiplayer.

My first hours will likely be the 10 hour early access thing on Origin. I've roughly estimated it'll take me 30 minutes for options menu setup and character creation. After that, 9 and a half hours straight of the main story. I wont rush anything either, I'll just take my time like I normally would if it was full release.

Character creation. I'm pretty sure 100 hours of my 273 hours in DAI was spent there.

Like many others, I fully anticipate character creation taking up quite some time for me, initially. In fact, I'll be surprised if I get anywhere past the CC and brief intro before I get tired - I plan on playing right at midnight, but due to my work schedule hours it's difficult for me to stay awake past 2-3 am on days off. I spent about 4 hours in the CC in Inquisition the first time around and didn't get much further than that until the next morning.

Only a few minutes on menus creating the character since intend to use the original face model for Scott (same i did for Shepard). Then i will stay several hours looking at every corner of the map from Habitat 7. No side quest, no crate, no codex entry will be left behind.

Tweaking the graphical settings will be the most frustrating part for me. I hope the game comes equipped with a benchmark tool which, judging by the recommended specs, will save me a lot time and hassle (especially if I have to restart the game several times to apply the changes to certain settings). I know exactly what appearance I want for my Ryder family so, depending on the options, the CC part shouldn't take me longer than 15-20 minutes. In summary, I'll need about 30 minutes to an hour to get it going. I'm an obsessive gatherer, so I will probably spend the first 45 minutes scouring the first area I find my self in for "things" before I even do anything or talk to anyone (I can't help it, it's stronger than me: "Your brother is choking in his cryo chamber! You must hurry there immediately!"--"Um, okay, that does sound important, but let me just do a detailed sweep of these 137 hallways first." ).

Since the game supposedly has the same requirements of Battlefield 1, I'm going to have to tweak it quite a bit to get performance smooth and seamless. I always hate the feeling of missing something, so I'll probably backpedal quite a few times just to make sure I have found everything before I move on...

For EA Access, spend a little time in CC....then play intro mission as much as possible. I will however hold off any "major" decisions that would cause plot branch-offs or massive companion approval change until the 21st so that I can have my Prima Strategy Guide to show me what the correct answers are.
