Can I fuck Cora as a female? This is the only deciding factor for me

using the default Ryder template and the facial animations somehow look worse than a custom Inquisition character's. does not compute.

Yeah this really fucks my shit up. Iirc Inquisition is also running on Frostbite. How'd they do ok there but completely fuck it up here?

I went male Shepard last time and kept hearing how good FemShep was. Might have to go female this time D:

Renegade Jennifer Hale is the only true Shep. Maleshep is infinitely more meme-y but Femshep is just better. Objectively. Not a matter of opinion. At all.

There's definitely some issues, but overall what I'm seeing in the trial so far looks good to me.

This pretty much sums up my feelings, definitely scratches that mass effect itch. I especially like what they've done with the combat, so many options here.

So who wants to tell me what classes are available for multiplayer?

[Andalusian girls]

available right meow- 12 human options, male+female versions of soldiers, sentinels, engineers, adepts, vanguards, and infiltrators

greyed out- human kineticist, salarian operator, angara avenger, asari duelist, angara insurgent, asari huntress, krogan mercenary, turian havoc trooper, asari adept, salarian infiltrator, asari sentinel, krogan engineer, krogan vanguard, aaaaaaand turian soldier

[Obsidian]

Damn. So the Havoc is back but no sign of the N7 classes. Hopefully they or something similar to them get added in at some point. It'll be weird playing as something other than the N7 Destroyer.

All is well.

So that's 2 Salarians, 2 Angara, 4 Asari, 3 Krogan, 2 Turians, and an extra human. Too much Asari imo but doesn't matter too much. The lack of more "niche" old races like Drell, Volus, and Geth probably means they aren't returning in any capacity but who knows I mean we had Protheans and Collectors in 3 by the end.

Wouldn't be at all surprised if they put some retro classes based on a popularity vote or something. Seems like a very easy way to pad out their free DLC model without much work.

Some folks did some data mining and looks like she doesn't swing that way.

Nope.

Anyone else experiencing this freezing a monitor completely when you alt tab or close the game out?

Ive actually had to unplug my monitor twice now.

This particular game, no, as I didn't preorder it/etc. However, I've seen that happen with other games (such as Dark Souls III), and want to say that it stopped happening when I uninstalled GeForce Experience.

All I'm seeing is more and more affirmation that multiplayer is the way to go.

There is some unfortunate animations in the first several cut scenes...however the mission-based gameplay is quite fun so far and very enjoyable. They've done a good job keeping the ME feel so far.

i'm not a technical whore but it amazes me how bad some of these animations are and how generally mediocre the graphics are in this game. this is one of the worst looking Frostbite 3 games i've seen (how is this the same engine as Battlefield 1?) and isn't appreciably better than a DA:I that came out thirty months ago. praying to God this is not the final build or the day 1 patch can clean up some of this broken code.

the gameplay is a lot of fun though, very reminiscent of 3 but the jetpack mobility makes the combat much more dynamic and adds some decent platforming. also dig the light scanning system, reminds me of the Arkham games.

storywise it is hitherto full of cliches and tedious exposition but that is the case for all Bioware openings nay, their early hours are p much always their worst.

[Krandor]

Honestly if you cut away the weirdness with human animations (which to be fair is hard to ignore and a rightfully glaring flaw to criticize) it all seems pretty much fine imo.

Some of the gameplay changes are a bit jarring (like cover being automatic instead of button based), but I don't think there's necessarily anything wrong with them.

Almost all preview articles say the opening of the game is the worst part, so I feel like if I'm still enjoying myself with the trial I'll be gtg for the full release.
