4 humans, 2 elves (including current), 2 qunari and 1 dwarf. I prefer the human and qunari playthroughs.

When the N7 programme is in the Milky Way as are the people who put you on it I think it's unlikely. The folk in Andromeda aren't part of the Alliance any more, they are wholly separate, they might not have a military at all.

Elena Lavellan went to the Boring Oasis, killed some spiders, opened a door - just the one though.
Went to Therinfall Redoubt, got Envy out of her head.

This is the correct answer. The quirky, yet lovable, rogue with an attitude. Bioware staple.

I'd like them to do towns better. Larger certainly, but also more dynamic with people moving around, not always in the same place, a real sense of life to it. Drakensang: River of Time managed it 7 years ago with many fewer resources than EA can chuck at a game. More opponents and allies per combat. The best combat in the whole series was Redcliffe village (at least on PC), where there were lots of undead plus plenty of villagers, even some knights if you did it right. A swirling confused melee. It was glorious and I want more. I'm not so fussed about day/night as the periods are always so short you end up doing a short quest half at night, which nearly always ruins any verisimilitude. God no. Linear maps are awful. However open maps can be better designed. A more mobile cast could mean that the world becomes different for everyone. Yes you can have the odd choke-point (preferably with some interesting bypass), but hopefully the defenders of said choke-point will then defend it properly, not abandoning their cover to jump down next to the guy with the big axe.

I'm with you. I spent all of ME1 telling him that vigilantism is wrong and him agreeing with me. As soon as Shepard's "dead" he goes off to become a vigilante. Fuck that guy. The a cop cum vigilante sniper takes over the Normandy's main weaponry? I'd prefer a hips weapons man for that thanks. No wonder they always needed recalibrating.

For Warriors I think Champion is best. To the Death is basically an 'I win' button. Unhittable Guard whilst the enemy takes more damage from all sources? That'll do me. Stand in front of them whilst your archer annihilates them.
TW Rogue is Assassin and Archer Rogue is Tempest, mainly for Thousand Cuts.
Mages I'm not a fan of any of the Specialisations. If you love to micromanage then KE is probably for you, but I'm not a fan of the gish concept at all.

Also, I love that when you play a Qunari Inquisitor the camera almost always zooms in on their chest during conversations with other characters. I couldn't stop laughing while talking to everyone in Skyhold. Given the body on the FemQunQuisitor, I'd be staring at her chest too. Can't blame them for doing it. @nknight7 that's a really gorgeous FemQunQuisitor. Wish I could get mine to look that good. Today I did most of the Exalted Plains, got through the frustration of the Dead Hand and became a Champion - which was why I went there in the first place.

I voted pre-order, but I'll be waiting to see what the gameplay is like. Too twitchy and it could drop to wait for bargain or don't buy.

Apart from Bioware games... Master of Orion - the best 4X game out there. Better than 2 IMO. I'd still be playing it if I could get the DOSbox settings right in Win10. Civilization - it was great. The sequels have added a lot of features, but they've corrupted the core gameplay in the process Railroad Tycoon - The start of it all for me (at least on PC however...) Star Wars - my original arcade game, yes actually in the arcade. XCOM - both the 90's original and the recent remake (although XCOM2 is a bit of a disappointment). EU/EW is the game of the decade so far. Hearts of Iron 1/2/3 - they're all good in different ways. HoI 1 became known as "the game that ate my life" it was so addictive. Crusader Kings 2 - fantastic strategy game with hoards of quality DLC. Betrayal at Krondor - the cRPG that other writers should still aspire to, even if the mechanics and graphics are a bit dated. Rome Total War - actually the Europa Barborum mod for RTW. Simply fantastic! Modding at the pinnacle of the art.
