    Ooh the skill presets thing looks dope. I was worried for a second when they made it sound like you had only three skills.

    Pick people up and use them as a shield. Totally going through the game as a Sith Lord.

    Okay, that looks good

    but when will we get to see the gameplay?

  • Mr. GMr. G Registered User regular
    I'm glad they finally got rid of the "only one health bar at a time, on the top of the screen" thing, which always seemed super clunky and the sort of engine quirk they could never do anything about

    Also, the jump jet looks so slick.

    I love games with cool mobility options.

    I'm seeing a lot of flashy bullshit in that trailer but noticeably absent is my holographic orb son and that makes me sad (unless I missed it on the skill tree)

    Assault turret got a cool upgraded look though

    They're just his shoulder plates, grown more gnarled and thick and twisted as he ages, the same way the keratin(?) on the line of his jaw has formed miniature horns all over the place

    Pretty sure those are pauldrons

    It's a darker shade than his arm


    His bio mentions prosthetics

    His right arm looks prosthetic to me. The left looks like skin.

    I'll focus on Energy Drain and Incinerate in Tech and then whatever Biotics look fun.

    Watching that was a terrible mistake.

    I, for one, enjoyed the Mako.

    It's interesting that even though there's not explicit classes, there's still class builds that fit into the six main ME classes, plus a seventh new class, Explorer, which is just fuck it yolo

    Wait I'm still unclear on number of powers
    I was assuming you had three of them mapped but could still use the power wheel to select your others
    Is that not the case

    Basically. You'll be able to create loadouts with sets of 3. Each of those powers being mapped to a button.

    But you'll be able to have multiple loadouts that you can switch between quickly.

    I'm guessing this is a way to greatly reduce the amount of time you spend using the combat wheel.

    The story trailers have really not done anything for me but the gameplay sure looks like they gained a lot from the ME3 multiplayer. First thing I've seen that's made me feel excited for the new ME.

    Also DEFINITELY gonna make a melee build and smash people all day

    A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.

    Being able to have a variety of builds I can swap to on the fly is giving me The Secret World build vibes.

    Which is like... they are putting peanut butter into my chocolate! :biggrin:

    Based on that video, I'm waiting for the Scott Ryder builds that use the Cloak, Sniper Rifle, and the Katana. And the armor is all black.

    (I'm... half-kidding.)

    So glad Logan and Iron Fist come out before this game. I'll only need to see those once (or maybe two or three times for Logan). Once this comes out I'm not sure I'll be able to spare a single fucking minute of my free time.

    I'm pretty sure I'll be going Vanguard again for my first run.

    Looking to be using mostly biotic powers mixed with combat passives.

    Though I may pick up Flak Cannon cause it sounds awesome.

    You can be whatever you want to be in your run.

    Like, I'm sure hoping the NG+ for this game is like Mass Effect 1 where you bring your character around and just keep leveling them up to ridiculous levels.

    Because having all the abilities unlocked would be hilarious.

    Whoa dang, that gameplay trailer was running smooth as heck during all of that combat, and it looked like it was the console version?

    Regular 60fps on consoles for such a pretty game would be the icing on an already delicious cake.

    Edit: Oh wait, it may have just been youtube doing its framerate smoothing thing? Ah well, looks fantastic anyway.

    One thing about NG+ I want improved is the option to carry over minor quests like the Matriarch Writings.

    Yeah, Arkham Knight does that with the Riddler stuff (and your points/XP), and that's wonderful.

    I mean, the difficulty can't be changed from Knightmare, but you give and you get.

    Peebee’s writer (who wrote the Sith Warrior storyline in SW:TOR) says that there are some similarities between Vette (SW companion) and Peebee but that Peebee is a very different character [x]

    This has me way more interested in Peebee. Sith Warrior is my favourite storyline in SWTOR.

    You know, the news about SMGs makes me wonder if you can finally carry two weapons of the same type. Like, they mentioned that Milky Way weapons are projectile but Andromeda weapons tend to be directed energy- so can we carry two assault rifles from either category?

    One of the devs confirmed on Twitter you can carry more than one weapon of the same type.
