So he'll be a DLC? Anyway, BioWare is moving to creating the first Unfuckable Alien. A tragedy for biodrone community,

Space Satan you are pretty retarded, Biodrones would fuck anything if they could. Aliens, dogs, corpses you name it - unfuckable just doesn't exist in their vocabulary.

We can't change armors and weapons of our squad? Wtf? Inqusition made a huge incline in this point, diffrent armor were looking diffrent on each companion plus there were more than one model. Now wre can't even change their appearance? Who thought this is good idea? And why would I look for weapon schematics and build it only main character can use it?

Because Infinitron is asleep or something.

Launch Trailer.


That trailer was what I would have expected some dullard to put together as a parody trailer of every overused trope in Film and Games ten years ago.

You're the chosen one,
Shitty choice of modern song,
Kick ass awesome button action,
Sexy time in video game,
Ominous bad guy walking out of shadows,
And a fucking superhero landing:lol:

EDIT
Basically if they had edited in some funny one liners and tounge in cheek references and had a decent art style this could be a trailer for Saints Row 4.

Also combining the worst parts of Mass Effect 1 and 2 in driving round the Mako aimlessly and planet mining :yeah:

This game is going to be awful, can't wait for the long plays and memes:bounce:

DA:I was shit but at least you could customize your companions' look and weapons. I can give them that. I was planning on changing the crazy Asari's clothes after finishing her loyality mission, but now I will have to not only looks at that abomination of a face, but also look at that abominaion of a jacket. Through the entire game. I bet additional suits/armors will be sold as DLC.

Lip sync has improved from "I've never seen a human before" to "Blew the lip sync budget on Natalie Dormer." Hair looks better, too, but skin is clearly still made of low grade plastic.

Facial animations don't apparently exist anymore- I assume because no facial animations are better than the joke facial animations they were using as a placeholder (I guess?).

VA is atrocious, tho. It sounds like a bunch of pre-teens putting on their first play. Their VA was always at least servicable before- it adds to my theory that they're intentionally trying to tank the company


Why get Natalie Dormer as a VA? She isn't a star and her voice isn't distinct, it's just pissing money away to hire someone who will give a worse performance than a standard voice actor, they would have been better off getting the Chuckle brothers to play the Salarian and made him schitzo and big man Tyrone to voice the Krogan. That would have been cheaper, better and got more publicity.

EDIT
Everything thus far looks so bad that I think they are doing this on purpose, just like the Producers.

Like it or not she is a star for her Game of Thrones gig and the name recognition is all you need. She still looks weird always talking out of one side of the mouth.

Terrific world-building you got here, BioWare. :salute:
Still waiting for a game that will have "alien" aliens. Beings that cannot be understood by human mind, best to be left alone.

The reasoning of Bioware fans is surreal...

  • Remove ability to give companion commands = i never ordered them to do anything anyhow, Bioware programmed Skynet AI anyways, i heard we can only play single player campaign offline, so the AI doesn't escape unto the interweb

Have I got this right...have to rely on dumb ally AI to overload enemies shield, but not when I want to?
Obvious the right time for squad mate BioWare super AI constantly knows the right time. It's after you have primed your enemy to biotic combo and 0.3 seconds before you cast warp to detonate.

I still don't get the people on this very forum who loved the mako "exploration" in ME1. They usually wax positive about how they'd just drive around aimlessly in that lame, broken-physics-using, 6-wheeled trashcan.

smh

Listening to narration at the beginning I thought "Hell yeah, barbarians in space", but later the rest of the emotional cluster fuck came in.

By the way:

Sensual carasses, sexual moaning and hip gyrations.
With Bioware outstanding animation skills this will be hilarious.
Also sex cards would've been better.
Did anyone else got association about unnatural and badly animated rubbing against each others while we hear moaning, grunting and dialogue that really goes like 'Fuck! Oh shit... let me play with your asshole...'

Might make interesting Bioware romance. Oh hell no... scene played in about million porn videos but I just but laugh to idea that BioWare managed to do anything arousing. Just hilarous.
