It's sad. I liked Jacob's character and romance just for being sane and normal while shit was hitting the fan nonstop.

Then ME3 had to go nigger up both his character and the romance by making him retarded enough to pump and dump the galaxy's most eligible bachelorette.

I guess Bioware just had no clue what to do with him but still, god damn.

It's probably true. Though if BioWare was smart, they'd have some very appealing human dude romance outside of the squad. Get even a hint of Cullen from Dragon Age in him and he'll skyrocket to top female romance.

Okay then. I guess you think all alien races in the Mass Effect universe should follower American culture too you sicko.

How would that work? Does he even have a dick?

I just started playing through ME2 again, currently on Insanity as an Adept.

I did the Weapon Training and got snipers, and after a few minutes of using a Sniper I started to wish I had rolled a soldier.

Biotics are fucking amazing but this is so satisfying.

>>169760881
He could probably build a robo dick in like half an hour, tops.

>>169760931
Should go infiltrator if you want that. Stealth headshots just get more and more ridiculous as the games go on.

>>169761341
I found that when I went Infiltrator, enemies had such high health and shields in the early game that I'd run out of ammo pretty quickly and have to rely on my pistol, and I really dislike tech compared to biotics.

Probably incredibly fun later on but the early game was pretty dreadful.

So I get the feeling that because Peebee's called a 'rogue academic' and the fact that she lives in an escape pod, that she likely want actually invited on the Andromeda initiative and is probably a stowaway.

tfw the ugliest Asari in the entire series is a squadmate.

>>169763941
I've seen that theory...I don't know what the rogue really denotes, I'm assuming she was part of the Nexus crew since she is probably an asari doctor of some science. Setting off for uncharted worlds without proper armor is pretty rogue.

>>169764384
She just doesn't seem the type for profession education/jobs. More like some self taught tech/history junky who was interested in going to andromeda

>>169764563
She's still from a major research hub of the asari so I'm assuming she's got all the right credentials to be a legit recruit for the initiative.

>>169764652
> she's still from a major research hub for the asari

What?

>>169764731
The planet she's from, Hyetiana.
http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Hyetiana

>>169764801
She could just as easily be a dropout.

I don't know, just like I said, she's a little too scrappy looking to have some kind of proper scientific credentials

>>169765097
Sure, anything is possible at this point.

Anyone else wondering what the viability for replaying Andromeda is when you can switch classes on the fly, no squadmate deaths, etc.?

Fallout 4 fell into the same trap of letting you do everything in one playthrough and it has shit replayability. My guess is bio ware plans to add more mmorpg grind elements to slow down players (or just leave the game short as fuck with a promise of dlc extending the story)

>>169766056
It seems like the game is too long to replay much anyway so they might as well give you as much content as possible in your first playthrough.

>>169766056
They don't. They want to sell you a $60 package up front. You play through the game once, maybe twice and thats it. Then you play MP and spend money on lootboxes. Silly anon

>>169766056
The biggest changes will probably just be in terms of how most missions play out on a story level, diplomatic changes, etc, even if squad mates can't die, I imagine shit will still change.

I wonder what Samara was like in her Maiden stage..

>>169766056
>Anyone else wondering what the viability for replaying Andromeda is when you can switch classes on the fly, no squadmate deaths, etc.?

Gee, I dunno. Maybe you could make different choices.

>Fallout 4 has my waifus VA in it

MEA will be just like DAI and F4 in terms or replayability. Youll do everything you possibly can in your first playthrough, then realize "oh shit, I did everything and still feel empty"

When I replayed DAI for a second time there was next to nothing new, and I chose different things for each "big decision"

MEA will be the same way

>>169767303
>I wonder what Samara was like in her Maiden stage..

http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Mass_Effect_2_Cut_Content#Shadow_Broker_Dossiers:_Samara

Is there going to be character creation in this installment or will it be a premade Ryder twin or whatever depending on if you pick female or male?

>>169767361
Yeah but DAI took me ages to complete and I'm perfectly satisfied with that. I don't think everything needs to have a lot of replayability. There are loads of other new things I could be doing instead.

First time in meg so tell me this, what's yalls opinion from that gameplay video?

That shit honestly scares me, it just feels so wrong.

I know bioware writing isn't great, but it's normally not THIS bad.

The dialog lines sound like bad one liners written by a child.
They fucking scream what to do next to you 10 times before you even have a chance to attempt to figure out the insanely simple """puzzle"""
>SCAN THAT SCAN THE SCAN THE SCAN SCAN IT NOW HOLY SHIT WHY ARNT YOU SCANNING YET!?!?!?!

But most of all, and I really don't know how to say it other than this, the game feels like a weird version of Halo 4.

And by that I mean the game LITERALLY feels like Halo 4. I feel like someone put an "RPG filter" over halo 4, and ran it through a new game engine.

>>169767685
I'm not going to base my expectations for a game around one tutorial mission with a bunch of stuff cut out.

>>169767537
Of course there's going to be CC, reviewers and bioware have already talked about a few aspects like hairstyles/colors, only thing is that if your using the scanned Ryder faces you can edit those, kind of like default femshep in ME3

>>169767537
>Is there going to be character creation in this installment
I would say their is, but it's strange how we've not heard anything about it

I mean is it just expected or is it not there at all?

If I'm going to be forced to stare at their ugly ass MC's for 10-30 hours I'm not not even going to pirate their fucking game

>>169767770
You can't edit those*

>>169767770

Scanned Ryder faces? I've just started my research on this game so I'm not initiated.

>>169767841

I agree. I'm not a fan of the female Ryder in the most recent video, I was hoping I could change the face up.

>>169767959

In the previous Mass Effect games, the default (Male) Shepard face was a scan of a real persons face, and the others you could make were completely from the games character generator so none of them were anywhere near the defaults quality.

In MEA, the Ryders have their main default faces which are scans of real people, and a number of alternates that are also based off real people. You can then take those different faces and modify them as you want.

Short answer it's like the older games but likely with more range between looking like a real person and looking like a hideous potato creation.

>>169767841
>but it's strange how we've not heard anything about it
You haven't been looking very hard.

>>169767959
Just referring to the two default Ryder faces for male and female that they've been using in all the trailers, you can't edit those, but you don't have to use them, there are a bunch of other presets that you CAN edit, though. Just like the old games.

creators on twitter have said there's at least one braided hairstyle, and one that's kind of like a Mohawk? You can also put coloured highlights in your hair.

>>169768268

Ive been looking. There is no footage of it on the internet at least.

>>169768351
Go look at the inquisition creator. It's like that.

>>169768268
>You haven't been looking very hard.
There's been no talk of it in any of their videos

>>169768305

Yeah, they've said that because the Andromeda Initiative isn't a military outfit (despite it being stocked up as fuck on assault rifles and combat biotics, lmao), the Ryders have a lot of unprofessional customization options; makeup, crazy hairstyles, etc.

Odds are 99% of it will look like shit, but at least it won't be ten different kinds of bad buzzcut.

>>169768476

>>169768731

Oh well no wonder I hadn't heard anything about it

>>169768731

It's still kinda odd though...most new released games with CC highlight the fuck out of it when the game is about a month out like it is now.

>>169768874
Why would they? When was the last Bioware game that didn't have some form of character customization? It's not even a question by this point.

>>169768682
I don't even mind if buzzcuts are going to be a thing, I just want A) nicer-looking ones and B) maybe not fucking thirty of them.

I don't care if the talons would rip the socks

>>169769112
Male haircuts being shit just reflects how shit they are in real life though. You basically have short, boyband, long, and two flavours of ponytail depending on how douchey you look. Male fashion has basically no wiggle room.

I'm going to cuddle the femtur!

>>169769258
Oh c'mon though they literally used the same hairstyles for men and women

I have no doubt in my mind they'll do it again

>>169769594
Hairstyles have no gender :^)

In Inquisition, you could put stubble and an Adam's apple on the female PC. Think it'll be the same in this?

What exactly is wrong with her face /meg/?

>>169769594

>>169770284
It was just a waste of time, elves and humans were the only real 'relevent' races in inquisition, and as it was, dwarves and qunari basically got no specific content anyway.

Inquisition didn't NEED to have all the races in there just because origins did

Holy fuck, I like aspects of the Paragon/Renegade system, but the game literally forces me to take Zaeed with me after his loyalty mission unless I have maxed out Paragon. I want to leave this fucking faggot here but unless I blindly choose every single Paragon option I can't.

>>169772102
I'm honestly half expecting this game to turn out to just have shit performance on release. I can't see why it would need the specs they're claiming it does.

>>169771720

In another 50 years all the Asari daughters humans have been spawning and have human citizenship will be old enough to compete and take all the medals

>>169773351
It was a real mistake to lock the Kill Zaeed option until post-game

>>169773367
Tealhos aren't even the most physically strongest race, if a krogan out of her burqa or a space raptor was allowed to compete, they'd lose.

>>169773508
I just hate how the game punishes you for not going 100% into one of them.

I like a lot of the Renegade interrupts, and some of the choices but I generally go more for Paragon because Renegade is an edgy faggot. I'm not going 100% Paragon because some of the Renegade options are fun.

I'm not going 100% Renegade either because it just involves you being a cock to everyone for no reason. I get this shit with Zaeed because I'm only 70% into Paragon and about 30% into Renegade, and an hour ago I had the shit where you lose Loyalty with either Jack or Miranda which I can't do anything about.

I prefer to be Neutral in almost every game I play and I hate when they punish you for it.

I prefer mostly Neutral as well but didn't have too much issue with the Paragon/Renegade system. It bugged me at times but most of the time Paragon is just the smart or level-headed decision while only occasionally being sickeningly goody-two-shoes.
Renegade sometimes fit well as the aggressive no bullshit decision but alot of the time you're just being a shithead to be a shithead.

It's more the fact that a lot of very big things need super high renegade or paragon to resolve and if you do certain loyalty missions to early they pop up at a point where you basically need to do every single renegade/paragon action to solve them.

>>169774194
??? Why would you say stupid shit like this when you have no idea what you're talking about. You do both Miranda and Jack's loyalty missions, and they have an argument. If your renegade/paragon aren't high enough you're forced to choose sides and whoever you don't side with loses their Loyalty with you.

I think it's possible to do a renegade/paragon option later down the line to get it back, but you definitely use it. Characters get a red circle beneath them in the squad select screen and Jack's went away when I told her to fuck off.

>>169774587

Can you explain to me why in this picture I have the loyalty of everyone except for Tali and Jack? I'm about to start Tali's mission right now. I don't have Jack's loyalty despite successfully doing her mission, hence her having the costume that you get after doing her mission.

Zaeed is on the left side, and I don't have his loyalty either because I failed his mission by refusing to kill Vido. I did Jack's mission perfectly, got her Loyalty, didn't side with her, and lost it.

>>169775482
Well tough titties for you but I've never had that problem

>>169775482
Its because hes fucking retarded and doesn't know what hes on about. Whoever you side against loses loyalty and it can only be regained through a Paragon/Renegade check while talking to them personally OR preventing it entirely by resolving the argument with a check in the first place.

>>169775562
>but I've never had that problem

Then why say anything to begin with you fucking retard?

>>169775678
Cause I've sided with both of them on separate occasions In that fight and never lost either of their loyalty.

First time I ever heard that was possible

>>169775820
Obviously not friendo.

HOLY FUCK QUARIANS HAVE SUCH NICE BOOBS I GET A FUCKING BONER EVERYTIME I SEE ONE!!!!!

>>169776413
>he looks at quarian boobs instead of their hips

You gay, son?

>>169776487

They both make me horny.

>>169776413
Quarians are for hips
Asari are for tits
Turians are for thighs

Anon pls, not very wholesome for a Wednesday.

> Mac says that SAM's existence as an illegal AI/how he was made is going to be a mission

SAM turning evil, taking us over and frying our brains when?

I hope there will be another human female to romance...Not digging Cora and wanted to romance human dang it

>>169773276
But that's fine though, in fact that's perfect for Krogan.

I heard Liam was written by the same guy who wrote jacob's romance? rip for his fans

>>169778898

He did also write Kaidan though, who's probably the most well rounded human in the game, and a pretty nice romance.

>>169779004
He also wrote Grunt and Joker in ME2, and Kirrahe in ME1

He was also the lead on Baldur's Gate 2 and Jade Empire.

Guys a Bioware lifer, he's not just some guy who popped in to do a single character, even if he did one that sucked in Jacob

>>169779004
still he screw up badly with jacob's character and romance like wtf was this shit with cheating on FemShep and get another woman pregnant? plus in his loyality mission his father pretty much enslaved a bunch of white women and rape them the fuck was that? Who gave another chance to write romance to this guy? Sera was shitty too.

>>169779004
His weird pushy obsession with you in ME1 wasn't great.

>>169744559
this is only true by virtue of her being a paddleboat of mediocrity floating in a sea of utter garbage

>>169779343
Yeah, I hated him when I played as FemShep. No one wants you Kaidan, only my blue waifu metters

>>169779327

He admitted himself that he thought Jacobs character was a failure and couldn't really go anywhere.

No excuse for Sera, but 1-2 bad characters after all the good ones he's written, I'm not that worried.

>have yet to play any of the ME games

Am i missing out lads?

>>169779298
>Sera, Kaiden, Jacob
Thats pretty bad
>Kirrahe, Grunt and Joker
That's pretty good.

So it could go either way.

>>169779649
depends on your standards bud, play the game or dont.

jacob's character was arguably the most realistic of the bunch

>doesn't immediately need Shepard to solve all his problems like the rest of the crew
>is capable of handling his own shit and even gets annoyed if you press him to open up about his hurt fee fees
>if he and Shepard fucked, he doesn't hear a peep from her or see her at all for months and so eventually moves on like a normal adult would (which underage autists think constitutes cheating)

/v/, having a one-night stand doesn't mean you're married to the person or are their true love

>>169779701

> Kaidan
> Bad

Plus he also wrote Aveline and Carver, I'd say that puts him over the line.

>>169779887
I don't play Dragon but I hear multiple times how Sera is as ugly on the inside as she is on the outside.

I didn't like Kaiden very much, he was boring. Liam has the accent so already he's got a leg up on Alenko and Taylor.

Haven't upgraded my pc in 6 years and I can run it lol

>>169780153
>tfw you actually liked Sera because she presented an interesting view of internalized self-loathing racism that a poor elf raised among humans would be likely to have and her accent made you wet
>she's forever cursed to be SO RANDUMB and have the ugliest face in Bioware history
