You can't change companion weapons or armour

Can someone with twitter ask Ian if we can AT LEAST choose which abilities will be active for our teamates?
Let's say that I want Drack to use only Incinerate and nothing else, is it possible?
Can I remove his other abilities?

The new dialogue system is not an improvement of the RPG aspects of this game, you just click an Icon and your character goes on a scripted spree of lines and interactions. 

Most CRPGs work like that. You have a few options and you pick one.

More reason to ignore the SP for me.

Kinda wish they'd just release the MP on its own so I could avoid the clusterfuck they're calling SP all together.

actually the only real justification for peebees outfit is that it does match your character.

On the whole 'is mea an rpg conversation?' honestly it's looking like it will be the most Jrpg mass effect ever.

What's so bad about what you just described??? Even the first ME game worked like that. Heck for that matter most RPG's work like that. 

why? I remember the old bsn and from what I've seen this one is about the same... agree or disagree about the subject on hand, this is about what you should expect.

Who even cares for "maintaining iconic look at all times" though? I can understand it with SOME characters like Kreia in KOTOR 2 where the hood over her eyes really is a huge part of her character and presentation (still, she has all the standard armor slots you can use) or Mass Effect's Jack whos tatoos on the body are absolutely big part of her character. But Cora? Liam? Vetra? Really?

They implement character creator in each game knowing fully that it means various fanart, YouTube playthroughs and cosplays. etc will feature not-iconic Main character's look (Shepard, Ryder, Warden etc) yet they're fine with it. They're happy enough having the "iconic" look engrave itself in public's counciousness just with the marketing power (and of course it works)

Yet with squadmates, they somehow feel the need to control their look in literally every scenario imaginable. Why? It didn't matter that Ashely could wear any armor possible in ME1. People still saw her white-pink armor as the iconic one. I really just dont get it.

And for no reason. No one complained about having large armor selection, or gun selection, mods, non-combat skills, economy, repairing etc. People hated the clunky inventory because it didn't even stack duplicate items together. I still don't get how Bioware went from clunky inventory complaints and ended up with action-game in gameplay mechanics essentially. Still, as an action game in its gameplay, it worked.

Oh please...
