Hot damn that voice is going to be nice. Maaaan, they could give is a little more, but I can already tell it's what I was hoping for. Sounds reminiscent of the trailer voice. Deep, amazing...sigh. I wish I had more time to play this when it comes out .

I concur. It's going to be hard for me to stick to my strict no-human LI policy. When the first video footage of Liam came out I was on the fence, but he does look damn good in some of those screenshots. But...but ALIENS! I have a deep fascination for the bonding of people across species barriers. There's something inspiring in the idea of finding common ground with someone whose species has evolved hundreds of light years across the universe from where your ancestors did. My kidding aside, Liam is very cute and I genuinely hope he can grab my attention despite being a human. I've said this before but I don't want Jaal to be too-easy of a pick. This is because I want some variety and if the other options aren't that great, I'm going to end up romancing Jaal every play-through I want other male characters to compete for my affections and make my final decision an agonizing one. You know, for fun At the moment I'm a bit worried because there's a serious lack of male alien candidates apart from Jaal. Drack is an obvious no at this point and I think we're only going to be allowed to flirt with Kallo (could be wrong though!). So besides them, we haven't seen hardly any other important male alien characters . For a while it seemed like they were all hidden in stasis pods or something that was until; Tiran appeared in one of the IGN First videos This was a big deal for me because he was only a comic book character in February when I made his character thread. I had hoped he would be in the game and then much to my surprise, my wish came true! So now I'm hoping I'm lucky a second time and he ends up being a romance option . He's the only male turian NPC character of any importance so far and he has his own 4-part comic, that's got to mean something right? I mean, I'll deal if the only serious male options for Sara are Liam and Jaal but I just want one more alien option thrown in there because I'm greedy Hopefully there are a bunch of quality LIs to choose from, yes. I am very bummed about the lack of a Krogan. That is an untapped gold mine of wonder that's been alluded to enough already without offering any actual action, sigh. Another male alien option would be very nice, very nice indeed. Ahem, Tiran is gold. If he is romanceable Jaal will immediately take a back seat - don't get me wrong, I am dedicated to romancing the angara once anyway, but 'dem turians...they just get to me like no one else can.
So I do hope he is an option. We know that there ARE NPC romances not on the ship too, and Tiran seems like a prime candidate given the popularity of Garrus in the previous series. It would be a shame to not offer another male turian option. But maybe that's just wishful thinking.

Ugggh, I know we're all here to fawn over Jaal and he does look fine as hell, but Liam looks soooooo fucking good in this shot. I'm so damn weird. First thought was: wow, Liam's got some great eyebrows! Why can't I enjoy men like a normal person who is attracted to men? Nothing wrong with appreciating an exquisitely shaped eyebrow.

AH, a significant turian male character! Come ooooon romance option (desperately crossing fingers). I've got a turian problem. I may go through withdrawals without an appropriate Garrus replacement (not that he CAN be replaced, but turians are sexy either way). It's all riding on you, Tiran! Literally .

You are both my sisters now, ok? We KH fans must stick together if we are going to survive the even longer wait for KH3 I am seriously convinced my daughter will be heading off to college by the time I play KH3 She is turning 3 this year Oh god, I was in middle school back when I played KH. I'm turning 30 in April, OH GOD. It's completely absurd that KH3 STILL HASN'T COME OUT YET. What can one do against suck reckless hate? Meh, I might still play it, you know, if KH3 ever exists . I've lost track of that series for so long it will probably just show up on the shelf one day and I'll be like, 'WTF?!'. I'd be okay with that. Anyway, at least Andromeda is going to be out soon. And you know, I might even get to play it some day!

The fact that I only have one day a week between school and work where I can play Mass Effect is going to brutalize me. Historically I've taken days off work to beat Bioware games in a 3 day binge session, but school doesn't allow for that and I need money...sigh. I'm already not getting enough sleep as it is. It's going to be tough resisting the urge to play anyway.
On the bright side, by the time I get around to actually acquiring Jaal and possibly romancing him, someone else will have already figured out how to do it so that I don't screw something up on my first play through. Time is precious, what little I have.

I'd like romances to feel less like I'm coercing the LI. I wish there was some middle ground between potential LIs that put the moves on you with little to no provocation and LIs that basically show no romantic interest in you whatsoever until you come on to them. It feels like matchmaking in a bar scene where everyone lowers their standards because they're drunk. It's so over the top and not at all the way I have gone about my real world interactions with people I had a thing for that it just comes across as not being very authentic or meaningful.
There should be a way when you make certain decisions, show certain values, and treat a character in a particular way to pique particular LI's interests without people being butthurt that someone they're NOT interested in put the moves on them. It's more natural and feels less like the LI is only interested in me because I brought the idea up. I don't like that feeling. As someone who is more interested in the deeper emotional/spiritual connection, the romance prompts really do fall short.

Hmmm, no early access for ps4 - tis troubling. Now I have to decide whether to get it for the xbone instead just to access the early 10 hours of gameplay. Eh, I probably won't have time to play the early access between work and school, and I do so love my ps4... I really don't have anything pertitnent to add to the conversation. I'm just loitering around, hoping for news. Can't wait to hear Jaal's voice. I'm a sucker for a good voice. There, that's all I got. Did you see that tweet about the guy who did hear it when playing? He said it's worth waiting for. What is WITH his voice? LOL I do recall seeing that. Very odd. I just hope that all the hype doesn't set me up to some disappointment because I'd probably be let down to find out, after hearing the theorized trailer voice, that his voice is actually a lot more human sounding than that. Everyone has a different idea of what makes a good voice. I personally really dig the voice in the trailer because it is so alien, and also deep (gah, not enough deep voices out there), but shoot, I don't know if it's THAT incredible...XD Pretty incredible though.

Why not a gay race? <.< At 1st I had the impression the angara are mostly gay, dont ask why because i dont have an answer lol That would be interesting. Lesbian and Gay being the most common sexuality and Straight Angara are discriminated against. That's not really biologically pheasible. What they could do is create another race like the asari, only instead of looking entirely female they would all be male.

Getting your hopes up for something and then finding out you can't have it is always a bit of a blow to the solar plexus, but boycotting the game because of it is a little excessive given that there is so much more to the game, and to the characters, then what we could possibly know at this point. It's easy to say right now that it's not fair when the heart is set on something, but you don't know what you have yet. I mean, I had zero interest in Dorian just based on design before Inquisition came out, but he ended up being probably my favorite character in the game and I was envious because the characters I initially had interest in romancing ended up falling short of expectations in game. I would have gladly tapped that.
From a statistics point of view they're always going to pander more towards straight people simply because they outnumber the LGBT community by a huge margin, but at least they're actively trying to include everybody. I still maintain that the best option would be to make all LIs available to both sexes and simply don't talk about their sexuality or if they do it will change based one whether you romance them straight or gay or bisexual. I expect that is more time consuming to animate and maybe that's why they don't do it.

Using still shots that are from an active animation really isn't a fair representation of the quality. Take a series of snapshots of your own face while in the process of smiling or frowning or laughing and you will find some very homely looking faces that could creep anybody out, which is why people take a bazillion photos to get the "good one".
I don't get all the hate, it's not that bad, and it's definitely not as bad as ME:3. That's not to say that I thought ME:3 was particularly bad, but the characters do have a plastic feel about them, especially around the mouth and eyes. I don't go into Bioware games expecting to be blown away by the facial expressions. I mean, I know they have limitations when it comes to the scope they're trying to cover while still maintaining quality graphics.
It may not be a huge improvement, but it certainly isn't cause for losing our proverbial **** over the game and whether it's worth buying. I loved the original trilogy despite the fact that they couldn't figure out how to properly render triceps. It's not that big of a deal and I find I like their attempt to put more emotion into the characters. Yeah, it still has an awkwardness to it, but it's an improved awkwardness. Instead of lifeless characters they're expressive and while it might not always capture what they're going for, I can interpret it just fine and that makes me happier than if they hadn't tried at all.

...and Scott Ryder doesn't suffer from the same shortcomings (appearance-wise or technical)? Except for the weird smile, which while it may not be the greatest rendered smile I've ever seen, I like it better than the really disturbing, and very few, Shepard smiles we got. Shepard was a stern, stick in the mud. Sara has exhibited more personality in a few brief trailers than Shepard did in an entire 3 game series. They're not the most colorful or exotic designs at first glance, but that's not what makes a character or an individual anyway. I imagine in the long run I will like Sara better than I did Shepard, if the voice acting isn't too terrible. I don't personally have a problem with Sara's appearance. She's attractive, in my opinion. That being said, I absolutely agree Sara's smile is miles ahead of Shepard's smile. His smile is so horrible you have to laugh at it. Nothing like a pedo smile to brighten up your day XD. I don't have a problem with her either. She looks like a real person. Real people have flaws, imagined or otherwise. Nothing wrong with that.

I thought DA:I's CC was a vast improvement over previous ones. You could create a variety of unique looking faces with it and they were nice looking. I felt like in previous versions of the CC, especially in Mass Effect, it didn't seem to matter how you changed the proportions of the face, once you were in game they all seemed to resemble one another. Something in the eyes maybe, I don't know, but DA;I was a lot better so I'm hoping the new CC builds upon that. Each one gets progressively better so I'm crossing my fingers that it will be super nice this time around.

Ok, I don't know if this was talked about or not (ignore me if it was) but I was scrolling through Jaal's tag on Tumblr and I found a post about the voice we hear in this trailer at about 40 seconds they says "This is incredible." My first thought was that was just the bad guy talking because it's being voiced over the bad guy, but then we hear the same voice again when Ryder kicks a stone into the creepy pit of darkness and it says "I... have a bad feeling." WHO IS THIS!? I replayed the bad guy talking like 7 times in two different videos and he doesn't have the same accent. Then there's the rumor that Jaal is voiced by Nyasha Hatendi so I followed on that and heard voice clips and it doesn't rly sound like him to me...but the accent kinda does. Maybe they modified his voice to be deeper and sound more...alien. This is so far fetched so I'm not saying this is Jaal but I'm just throwing this out there because I haven't heard this voice since that specific trailer. Maybe it's some other character we haven't even seen yet, but If I'm just being a dingus and you know who it is/might be, let me know. I remember someone postulating about that. I hope it is him because that would be awesome. Personally, and no offense meant to Nyasha Hatendi because his accent is super cool, but I'm a sucker for deeper voices so if they used a filter it wouldn't hurt my feelings any. But, I kind of doubt it is just because it is so alien that I feel that Bioware might deem it too over the top, especially for an LI. The bad guys always have the best voices...

Ooooh, GOTs talk. That series was decent for the first two books and then it went downhill rapidly. All the tv series has gone to show is that attractive actors can make anybody turn a blind eye to incest and rape. The bad guys never get their dues, or if they do they have done so many horrible things by then that it isn't even satisfying. Cersei and Jamie are CREEPY. Depravity should not be idolized.
Anyway, now that I've gotten that off my chest.
We definitely need at least one more male alien LI. I want the krogan or a turian, but I've already been so well rewarded by getting Garrus in ME2 and 3 that I can't be too disappointed if I don't get what I want this time around.

I always base my character off myself. You know, living vicariously through Mass Effect and all that.

I still don't understand why LIs can't just be available to both sexes? As long as you don't make their sexual orientation a key part of their subplot they are simply straight/gay (or bi if you want them to be bi) depending on who you romance them with. I would think that would be the most fair and unbiased way of doing it.

I put hundreds of hours into the ME3 multiplayer, far more then I put into the single player campaign, and I love my single player RPGs. Good quality CO-OP games are so hard to come by. PvP is fun in its own right, but it can be stressful if you're not able to compete with the players you're matching up with. Co-op MP is so much more relaxed and fun if you get a good group of people. I grew up playing co-op with my brother on so many games. It's great to still have that available when games today are so heavily PvP oriented (one reason why I love Destiny despite its flaws - epic co-op capabilities). And the variety of characters and specializations really made it worth while. I love getting a chance to play as alien characters for once.
So I expect the bulk of ME:A's replay value for me is going to be in the MP. Which is fine by me, I don't usually beat my RPGs more than once, maaaaybe twice. That's normal for me. But give me multiplayer and I will get hours and hours of extended play that I wouldn't otherwise have had. Kind of sweetens the deal.
