I'm guessing this is an obvious yes but wondered if the loyalty missions had multiple quests/locations associated with them. I didn't look at PB's vid due to spoilers. I wish they would be more lengthy since we don't have many comps this time around.

I think I read somewhere that loyalty missions would be like ongoing things and involve completing multiple objectives, but I can't remember where I read it.
Maybe I'm wrong and misremembering, but hopefully I'm not. I like the idea of an ongoing loyalty mission type quest rather than a more one and done type scenario.

Just because they only revealed 6 characters doesn't mean there might not be more in the game. Remember Bioware said this was there biggest game yet.

watch the vid. If PB loyalty mission is anything to judge by, you don't want them to be lengthy

I hope the word "loyalty" is justified in some way. I understand you need "loyalty" to go to a suicide mission, but to find a place to live...? And do I want an idiot to be loyal to me? Because luring a pathfinder into an escape pod and crashing it on a planet with no certainty of going back to my ship was not the smartest move to inspire my loyalty. It reminds me how dumb Aria's plan was in Omega, crashing into Omega by sacrificing ships... I don't expect loyalty to change much beyond a character's disposition, but honestly, I think that this would be a better use of that term than the nonsense that went on in ME2. A disloyal character shouldn't suddenly be more susceptible to death.

We may get them for the non-squadmate important characters. Like Dr. Lexi, Suvi, Gil, Kallo, and so on.

I don't think he issued a single command to squadmates, changed his favourites, or whatever really. He just shot things, poorly.

I would take the 17mins vid we got with a grain of salt. IGN has no clue when it comes to people who know how to play games

Maybe I'm wrong and misremembering, but hopefully I'm not. I like the idea of an ongoing loyalty mission type quest rather than a more one and done type scenario. Sounds sort of like SWTOR where you pick up where you left off after the companion needs time to handle whatever happened during the previous part of the loyalty mission.

The AI character is too chatty, but according to a Biower person it's because of some intro to a core game mechanic or something. It showcases a bit of PeeBee's impulsive personality. Jump jets for everyone!

I read that too, I think it might have been a tweet or something. It sounded like it wasn't just one side mission, it could be a string of quests which could make it much more interesting.

As long as the loyalty missions are scripted in a good way and lengthy, I don't really mind if there is only 6. If it is just one mission though that would be a bad thing. Or at least not something I'd jump in happiness for.

A disloyal character shouldn't suddenly be more susceptible to death. In ME2 they were more like "focus" missions or something. It was clearing up unfinished business so they could concentrate on the mission, not winning their loyalty. Even Jacob, when asked what he thinks of the squad, he'll respond with something like "Unless all distractions are removed...". ME2's loyalty missions were just that, "focus" missions. If you don't resolve their problem, the issue will be burning at the back of your squadmember's mind the whole time. It also makes them more willing to follow your orders and fight for you because they know that you're a friend willing to help them out instead of just dishing out orders and expecting respect instead of earning it.

I wish they would be more lengthy since we don't have many comps this time around. Nobody knows. If I had to guess, they aren't just going to be one mission and then done like ME2. I'm expecting loyalty missions will have multiple phases and may develop overtime. BioWare really emphasized quality over quantity, which is why there are fewer squadmates this time around.

Six loyalty missions by default, yes, plus a few more loyalty missions for essential characters who will be available as day-one dlc and who will be integral to the story and lore, contributing significantly to the story and whose absence would leave the lore and story with major deficiencies. Better start getting your pre-orders in early, people.

It reminds me how dumb Aria's plan was in Omega, crashing into Omega by sacrificing ships... It's pretty much the same idea: a careless asari forces you to do something her way by crashing an escape pod where she wants, with no waranty it will pay off. In Defense of Aria, her plan was not to sacrifice ships for no reason. HER ship was armed with technology that would have disabled Omega's defenses. It didn't work out because she was outmaneuvered.

In ME3, crew members had personal missions too.
I don't think MEA will be any different.

Only difference is that they're probably less like action rollercoasters and more like "go to that planet (Kadara for instance) and do these things" that may or may not involve one or two cutscenes.
