Poll do you want that Bioware made patch/DLC which give more customization Freedom to MEA squadmates

As I said on Twitter, I'd love to do alternate squadmate appearances. It wasn't a case of us not wanting them, we just didn't manage to fit 'em in. When it came to character art and skinning time, we chose to prioritize getting in both genders of each alien race over doing additional appearances for each squadmate, and I stand by that decision.

Now that the game's done, I'd very much love to add more squadmate appearances later post ship, but I can't promise anything--stay tuned.

As for squadmates having their own gun (vs. the player equipping guns on them), I ask that you experience the game yourself before determining how you feel about it. This design has received zero negative feedback in any of our playtests (which have been roughly 65% Mass Effect veterans), and it's received a fair deal of POSITIVE feedback when players get excited about the unique properties of certain squad weapons, from Vetra's minigun to Jaal's dual-function retrofitted sniper rifle. I think that with all the other elements of customization/control we've added for the player character (more than ME has ever offered by a good margin), for most players the "I want to tinker and optimize my squad" itch will be more than sufficiently scratched.

Ultimately: If you play MEA and feel not being able to equip different guns on your squad is a big hole in the experience, by all means let us know--we always appreciate fan feedback.

Thanks, folks!

Or even if the outfits are purely cosmetic in nature, at least give us outfits that look like they're designed to protect from the elements, gunfire, giant cybernetic dragon-worms, etc.

What outfit protects from a giant cybernetic dragon-worm? An Atlas mech?
