    Well...I am curious about what Lance does.

    It sounds like it could be the new warp.

    In the market for a new wall poster, possibly a Mass Effect one. If any of you guys know of a good site to order those, suggestions would be great.

    I just realized...you can combine charge and tactical cloak...

    My God.

    But... why?

    Charge thing -> Shotgun thing to death -> Cloak away so you don't die

    Close but it'd be.

    Charge -> Shotgun -> Cloak -> Shotgun again

    Then Charge.
    Actually it's

    Cloak -> Charge -> Spooky Ghost!

    I don't even really like CAH, but I'm tempted to buy this because A. it's $1, B. I have to know what they actually made cards about, and C. I'm a shameless consumer.

    You can swap between power loadouts in the field eeeeeeeeeee

    That really kicks the knees out of my concerns about having 3 active powers on the UI

    I do like how either they had her wearing an n7 hoodie while she voiced her lines, or she decided to do that on her own.

    And the favorites thing looks sweet. Like you can take all these powers and then use them on the fly to adjust to the situation. Which is just awesome, so many times in OG ME I'd be like "God damn it I wish I had *blank* to take these bastards down" and now with a cooldown I totally can.

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    On my Infiltrator run I'm totally gonna have a sniper/shotgun setup similar to the video.

    I didn't even think about stepping outside the realm of classic sci-fi shows for their stunt casting

    There's a lot of genre TV now

    How many Game of Thrones people will be in this cast

    I think I'm gonna try to keep my classes as pure as possible ability wise.

    Only biotic/combat for my Vanguard

    And only tech/combat for my Infiltrator.

    Though I might not count passives in that as some of them seem general use.

    But I might give Infiltrator charge just cause.

    Weirdly enough, the most exciting thing in all of this is one line in the Natalie Dormer video where clearly you're talking to her character about some books

    Give me that sci-fi minutae

    I imagine that there will be a lot of points to go around so if you're going a more pure build and not looking to make big swaps then you'll probably end up dabbling in passives from other realms just to spend points.

    I'm also going strictly Vangod and not even looking to swap around biotics so I imagine I'm going to have to grab a lot of passives.

    Something I noticed. When the tech/biotic class was getting shot in the video you saw the Tech Armor animation.

    So its probably the Sentinel profile ability like people thought.

    Natalie Dormer turns to the camera, and whispers: "Write, George RR Martin. Write like the wind."

    Yeah, it's when he switches to the second loadout

    Which has Charge

    Sentinel with Charge sounds exactly like what I want to play

    I feel like Rock Paper Shotgun is definitely the place most aligned with what I want out of Mass Effect, so if they're totally on board, I can be completely excited

    It seems like Giant Bomb is pretty cool on it, but they're really weird about Bioware stuff

    The part that made me completely lose sync with Giant Bomb on this game is when they talked about how they thought (and wanted?) a new start to Mass Effect being the same cast in a new situation

    Like, is that what ANYBODY wanted from this?

    Giantbomb are so negative and condescending all the time

    It's super annoying when they just assume the worst about something that you know is not true

    I simply can't watch them do videos on franchises that I know a lot about

    Wasn't that so much as that would be the logical "traditional" way to do a sequel. I thought that a ME4 would be a prequel more than anything else, maybe first contact war period or something, but Andromeda has a lot more potential to go somewhere interesting than that.

    I did chuckle at Brad mentioning the new setup and detonate system with powers, clearly forgetting that you've been able to do that with Biotics since 2.

    Yeah, there were some people who wanted more adventures of Shepard & Friends. But I'm glad they're moving on to a new group of people.
