Which is why I like PC and XBOXone. PS4 is always the buggiest. It's been an utter mess... I literally bought a ps4 pro specifically for this game. Bugs upon bugs. Same happened with The Witcher 3 PS4 version was the worst version.

Had a crash or two for me, one annoying bug was a squad mate dying and not getting up between missions. Had to reset a save for that one...

My guess is that they are announcing a soon-released free DLC that is CC major upgrade and "magic mirror" for altering appearance in-game. Numerous bug fixes, a new MP map, and save-anytime update. There might also be an announcement of a planned story DLC or something to that effect, but I'm guessing it'll be mostly CC, "mirror", bugs, and saving. I wouldn't hold my breath.

Also play on PS4. Haven't noticed many problems at least major ones. One problem I'very had was having two Dracks aboard The Tempest after a story mission. For some reason, I was in the same room as him but when I talked to him he didn't have anything new to say. But wh3n I open the door, I get the scene with new dialogue. After that, two Dracks

They will probably outline a comprehensive patch plan and a timing strategy and maybe tease potential future DLC.
I can totally see them making some additional free content a part of the announcement as well.

I was a physicist before switching career, and I can tell you that character of Suvi is already anachronistic in today's science. Now days religious scientists are very uncommon, and deeply religious scientist are very rare. And that's not to say they don't exist, and I do know some myself, but it's only because they are so rare that they standout from the crowd easily. Also by scientists I mean professionals in hard science with PhD and Post Doc training. While it's true that historically, many, if not most scientists are religious, but it's mostly for historical reason. You got to remember that for most of human history, people took the existence of god or gods for granted, the same way we take the rise of the sun for granted. This is actually bullshit. (Historian here.) Atheism was practiced and written about in many ancient cultures. Try again. Atheism isn't something that was "discovered" through some modern innovation. Also, how exactly is Suvi 'deeply religious'? She literally just believes in a higher power. That's it. Do you have any sources for this? I'm a Historian as well and I'm quite interested in this topic. As far as I know, there are indeed enough examples of individuals which can be called atheist through their practices and writings, but the actual concept of an 'atheist worldview' like we know today is mostly influenced from the age of enlightenment. (which, granted, took inspiration from the classical age). So just to clarify, I don't disagree with you, but it is difficult to place our current meaning of the word 'atheism' onto historical figures and say it fits. Also, Jackdaniel states that people took the existence of god or gods for granted. Whilst this isn't true, I think it is more than plausible that atleast a significant majority, if not almost everyone, fell under this category until the enlightenment (and even now a huge part of the worlds populations still qualifies as 'religious'). Except for a few individuals and specific groups, but they were the strange ducks in the crowd, not the other way round (not that you implied that but still). But it is true what jackdaniel stated that a significant amount of scientists in history were religious or operated out of religious grounds. To specify this further as well, take the scientific revolution as an example. Most of the scientists during this era were actually deeply religious or even acted out of religious motifs, even though the results could be called 'anti-religious' in some ways and a step up towards the definitely anti-religious era of enlightenment. Copernicus for example, was sponsored by the Pope and hestitated to publish his works, for a part because he didn't want to cause an uproar because of his controversial heliocentric findings. I think it is plausible to explain this through the idea that religion in that era simply had a major influence over people's lives in Europe. So in conclusion, I'd say you're both at least partially right. You by stating that Atheism isn't exactly a new concept or something people just 'found' recently, and Jackdaniel by stating that Scientists in the past were religious for a significant part because that was the go-to thing to do back in that specific age. Even if their results otherwise went in the 'anti-religious direction'. Not to further derail this thread with a discussion about religion or anything so I don't want to spark a heated discussion with this post, but it would be interesting if you had some more information. You can also pm it to me if you want. Now for the topic itself: Let's hope for some general bugfixes and maybe a bit of free content. I keep my expectations about facial animations low, because I don't think this can easily be fixed. Maybe they can fix the eyebrows, that would be a great start. (That moment when the off-topic part of your post takes up almost all the space )

So if you two intend to further discuss the topic of atheism through history, please keep it here so I can try to leech of your knowledge.

Inc "clarity and closure" DLC... Which DID work for ME3. The game kept moving copies (ended up as the best selling entry in the franchise) and recieving year-long SP & MP DLC support. So even if you didn't like EC, can't deny it did its job

At least their doing something that's more than some companies would do. But we'll have to wait and see what it is Looking at Destiny, AC Unity and some other title that is slipping my mind right now, they all improved after a sucky start, and I mean they improved a lot. It took too long and ultimatley the first impression cannot be redone, but if you were a guy who missed out on those games and then picked them up a year after release you'd ask yourself why it was so controversial among fans. I played Destiny at launch and I only saw a glimpse of how it improved, but I could already sense it getting better as more Raids started being introduced. The problem of Andromeda is more akin to AC Unity though. It's supposed to be a full experience upon launch but it's hampered by broken cutscene animations but Unity improved a lot technically. It went from having a broken framerate and bad animation glitches to looking more as intended. It still suffered from having really high-quality assets and lighting mapping that was severely downgraded for consoles though so it still looked like crap in the end. Andromeda has some of those issues too. Sometimes the graphics are just butt-ugly and that's what happens if you dont' adjust when you realize you have to downgrade for underperforming next-gen consoles (this is what the Witcher 3 team ended doing). In Witcher 3 they had a much better target render and they knew people would freak out if the graphics were downgraded so their workaround was to recreate a TON of assets in a more stylistic manner, so more vibrant colors and different mapping so the reduced lighting fidelity could make it look gorgeous and the end result was phenomenal (you can't tell me you think TW3 is an ugly game - it's fucking gorgeous)
