So my query is, was dialogue choice disabled in that video(only appeared once) or is no control what we should expect? There were many instances of dialogue choice. What video were you watching?

Dunno... I think she still comes off as a tad to masculine... which makes sense for who she is, I guess, but still. Yeah, she didn't strip in front of Ryder. Fuckin' masculinity man... ugh, Biowaerrrr Yeah, she should have worn pink and enter the scene like this:

After watching I really feel that this may be the first game with character creation where I stick with the default first name, hearing people say it just feels more natural to me than someone constantly calling you by your last me or title, especially considering there are 3 Ryders in this game just feel better especially when they will interact with eachother Yep. As soon as it was said that characters will call you by your name if you leave it at default, I decided that I'd still create my characters but I'm keeping the name.

Is it just me or is Scott really the only one who looks kind of goofy? Cora, Alec and the captain's animations looks fine. Lexi has a moment there but generally looks OK as well.

About facial animations, especially the mouth: Let's also keep in mind that it's incredibly difficult, still, to fool the human eye with respect to facial expressions and lip movements. People are still protesting over the CGI facial animations of Leia and Tarkin in Rogue One; and those animations were likely crafted using technology that surpasses what's used in games currently.
The 'problem' with human faces in CGI is that they're neither so primitive, we can let our imagination take over and 'see' it in our minds for us, nor so advanced as to completely fool us. Facial expressions are hard; I'm not sure what type of fidelity capture software provides; but it's possible to write a novel about a twitch at the corner of someone's mouth, and though everyone might not be able to articulate it as well as a novelist, people learn the significance of such things when they're babies.

Liam and Cora are both cutie patooties what am I gonna do??
Animation still looks weird but I'll get used to it and won't care too much if everything else is good.
And I'm glad they're continuing the time-honored tradition of daddy issues in Mass Effect.

Just re-watched more closely and there's more than on my initial skim viewing. Still not particularly happy about the amount of auto-dialogue on display but i'll have to see how irritating i find it.

He looks like a thug, and is most likely a humorless idiot. -- Or I've already started the roleplaying, haha. My Ryder won't be on good terms with that guy. And there's absolutely nothing autobiographical about that, from my standpoint. I mean, none, zero. Not at all.

Finally, I'm free! I really really really hated the ME3 ending. But after this video my new stance on the rainbow is: Wooo! Maximum hype baby! Here's to a new beginning!

Well, I watched it, and the most important thing I can take from the video, regardless of the pros and cons, is that it felt, to me, like a Mass Effect game. So I hope the game follows what they shown in the first part of the prologue.

Quite glad I caved to be honest. Raised the hype bar even more, plus animations there were more than good enough for me to not stress about that (yes it obviously wasn't perfect but I wouldn't expect them to be!)..
Presume people noticed that it looked like the video cut in between the section of you with Dr Lexi and the scourge hitting the Hyperion?

This is the first time I've actually been truly conscious of the facial animations. They made goofy faces in the other videos, but you can tell that during full conversation, it's just not all there.
Not a deal breaker, just worth mentioning.
Scanner seems to be easier than I thought it would be to use. I figured things would take a few seconds, but it looks instant. Really great to see.
Really concerned by the fact that there was never more than two dialogue options on screen at once. Was also quite a bit of auto dialogue. Hopefully it's just like ME2's opening.
I'm excited, but my main concerns still have yet to be addressed, so I'm trying to be reasonable.

NO major spoiler for everyone BUT for someone (I think) hehe. The only weird i saw is Captain's mouth when she talk. Her lips looked poked out too much when she talked. Remember Mother Giselle from DAI? Aka "duck mother". "Duck" lips is BW mark Still she manages to look pretty even with bad animation. And there are some other nice faces on the background too.

I liked what I saw. Fortunately they stopped it at the right mark. Aside from finding out what the state of the other twin was nothing major was really spoiled that couldn't already be pieced together from other trailers and gameplay videos.

It's huge, it's orange, it's glowing. And apparently absolutely no sensor or human sentry was able to detect it.
Also, multiple animation problems. Not just eyes changing their place on the face, but stuff like background characters moonwalking(look at the moving woman to your left at 8:53) or appearing for just a split second behind others (creepy).
