DAI-Style dialogues camera

There's a choice, minor quest procedural dialogue or no dialogue at all.
This seems to have been executed a ton better than DAI and there appear to be more cutscenes generally anyway.

This is nothing to get uptight about without evidence of poor execution (and this isn't that)

I don't need a full on cutscene to talk to a dude at the door.

edit: And clearly, it's more of a MGS4/MGS5 style gameplay to cutscene seamless transition that they immediately go on and interrupt, so for all you know, the camera gradually shifts into traditional cutscene style.

I'm just glad it's not like Oblivion. You can get a heart attack from those convos!

Please don't hate me, but I think those gifs look better than traditional cutscenes.

I liked the idea from Inquisition, just not the execution since the camera didn't let us look at the faces. But in general I'm in favour of everything that melts together all types of gameplay. Much more natural flow than stiff shot - reverse shot.

I hope we can walk away from conversations too and pull out a gun whenever we like.

I have a feeling the soundmix problems may persist but obviously it's just a gut-reaction. But yes, that was like when you notice the 59fps in Mario Kart 8 or the stutter in Witcher 3 - you can't stop noticing it and it bothers you. If you're going to spend several hours with some sort of main mechanic listening to characters talk it has to be well implemented, there can't be too notable rough corners. It's like the camera when you close rifts in DA:I too which was some attempt to make it half-cinematic but if you started turning it you would see that the FOV and Pivot was waaaay off and the camera would eventually focus on some nothingness that was right next to the Herald and not the Herald himself. Same with the camera thing in DA:I as well as the party-conversations in Citadel DLC. The pivot isn't correctly placed and it ends up looking broken in terms of the "free cinematography" they try to make.

A lot of games have these slope-camera controls for cinematic moments and stuff. GTA also zooms in during certain transitions and Witcher 3 zooms in closer if you go indoors, but it has to be properly designed so it doesn't start to bother you.

I know some of you didn't notice or care - what can I say? We're a nitpicky bunch but it is just something I'm very iffy about. To quote the lead designer the trilogy "Mass Effect is a million dollar mansion. If one window has a crack in it the whole thing falls apart". To me that is true of the main mechanics. If most of it looks great and high quality there can't be obvious issues like the camera alignment and pivot being wrongly placed like in DA:I if they absolutely must avoid using normal cutscene cameras.

I dont think an uncinematic Dialogue Camera in a Dialoge heavy Game is a nitpick.

I think most of us hated it in DA:I .. How much of a Problem it is(if at all) will totally depend on how much it is used. As i said before if its just some Minor Planet Side Quest here and there i think we all will be fine with it.

Nobody though wants that when talking to Companions ever again i think..

My favorite was the camera zooming me on a face standing over my bed! :gasp:

I will watch some gameplay before I make a decision to buy. If this is where they are going, unengaging dialogue with lots of shooting...

Still, it beats having them introduced by data-pad.  There is only so much meaningful, emotive dialogue with full cutscenes that can be put into a game without busting the bank on computer resources.  The ME Trilogy had the limitation of having to fit on old-gen consoles.  ME:A still has to fit on the next-gen ones (Xbox One and PS4).  I don't want to see main plot dialogues curtailed because of pickyune people who flip a gear by just seeing two really very likely inconsequential conversations done by panning in this game.  As I said, I'm seeing plenty of evidence of meaningful cinematic conversations with full dialogue choices in this game.

I can only speak for myself but i think most here think simillar.. 
I am totally fine with lesser Side Quests beeing done with this Camera.. totally fine

in DA:I though every Side quest and much of the Companion Dialogue was done so.. wich was horrible.

I just hope bigger Side Quests and especially Companion Dialogue will have full Cutscenes. The lack of Dynamic and lack of real Facial Animation really killed most of the chances to really bond with my companions as well as if they had Cutscenes.

I hoping for it. This is really the only thing left that i am worried about. Companion Dialogue with this Pan Cam would be my worst nightmare for ME:A ..
