Does the patch announcement along with typical generic crap of "we improving things" really needed its own mythical announcement about announcement? Could have just said that there will be patch in a week to begin with. Thats all time low BW, on par with your new Mass Effect game. Seems like not only ingame characters started behaving like teenager, but BW management as well... An all time low? You know, it's ironic that you say that the Bio team is acting like teenagers, considering how positively bitchy this comes off as. I mean, what is the big deal?

Nothing about quick saves or saving during priority missions? Meh.

I wonder what "improvements to male romance options for Scott Ryder" means exactly.
Can't wait to see the improvements to the game. I loved it, but I'm going to hold off on New Game Plus for a while.

Seems like not only ingame characters started behaving like teenager, but BW management as well... Yes. Everyday, the community asks and speculates about what's next for this game. They are doing their best to communicate with us as regularly as they can. Nothing wrong with that.

I'm actually impressed. I mean, these things should have been fixed before release, no questions there. However them acknowledging the mistakes and fixing them is something they aren't required to do, i mean the bugs yes they need fixing and are required, but the aesthetic improvements aren't something a dev would usually do, so this does show they still give a fuck about the brand, good on them for that.
Lets just not let this happen again Bioware, cool? Cool.

Great to see some of these improvements, but I was disappointed there was nothing about saving during priority missions or quicksaves.

Wow, what's with the bitching? They are systematically acknowledging virtually every single complaint (Even Hainly, which is what, 5 lines of dialogue from an obskure character), and adressing them in a timely manner. This is more than most companies would bother doing. They are communicating and they are listening. This is good. I am Happy and looking forward to seeing how the QoL fixes turn out. I can't believe people are unhappy and actually bitching, I mean what the flying fuck could you have possibly been expecting from this announcement?

I wonder what "improvements to male romance options for Scott Ryder" means exactly. Me too. I wonder if some of the bit-part, flirty little friendships you have now can be developed into something further post-patch? Like Keri or Avela? Maybe they'll make Suvi or Dr. Lexi an option!? (Doubt it). But those are the 2 i went after right away and got shot down

No mention to the save system? Actually I read in a different thread that they're working on that too for this patch. Search online you'll find it.

I remember there was a conversation with how you said a 5-line dialogue but I don't know what the fuss is about. Thanks.

Real trans people do not speak the way that she does. She tells you her entire history and story within seconds of meeting you. It doesn't feel authentic at all, and therefore starts to feel as though Bioware simply introduced the character to be inclusionary ("look, we have a trans character") rather than it feeling like it's soemthing they thought out thoroughly and fleshed out.

Looking over the patch notes, "improved logic, timing, and continuity for relationships and story arcs" will mean fixing what's already there. Maybe Lexi will become a romance through the sequel or DLC. Any change to Suvi seems doubtful.

Should be deleted. Waste of time and resources.

Would it be foolish of me to hope that these cosmetic DLCs will give some much needed variety to the Asari and Angarians so they all don't look like clones with the exact same face and body models?
That seriously gets under my skin.

Yeah, pretty much what i expected. Allowing you to skip ahead when travelling between planets in the galaxy map is a huge one for me. Completely agree. I even timed it a few times... from the point you choose to leave a planet to the point you get to one in a different system (i.e. EOS to Nexus) takes more than two minutes on average. About 10 seconds of that is black loading screens. Very glad to hear about this.

FFS, BioWare acknowledges and shares plans to fix complaints, and people still do nothing but complain about it.
They could announce that they're sending everyone who purchased the game bars of gold and they'd complain it was heavy.
