I'd say it's close unless they will push it even further. I guess that's relative.

Hmm, is it? It's most possible reason I can come up with.

They are probably expecting similar backlash as ME3 and DAI got so nuking forums before hand seems like good option for them. Sadly it also makes awaiting for game lot less fun while also making harder to find news of the upcoming game and after game is released it makes it harder to find community given fixes for bugs and clitches as well as quest and build help. And it does nuke the fandom, but well at least BW has to deal with less backlash so all good.

I don't think this place was ever quite that bad. Weird as all get-out maybe, but really, this place is practically a Disney-themed petting zoo compared to a lot of other forums out there.

Didn't know that. How hard would it be to hand over the ME and DA forums to Austin and let them run them?

Well yeah, that is obsessive. Of course.

Fact remains that they lied. They hyped the ending and this is the price they paid.

WUT?

I guess Cameron has time on his hands to write tweets that says nothing instead on concentrating on managing.

Does this mean the game is in "good hands"?

Personally, I think that making Soldier the only class capable of using LMGs and other heavy weapons makes sense.

Possibly also infiltrator as the only class capable of using sniper rifles. (most infiltrator builds are either shotgun infiltrator or sniper infiltrator anyway)

The things the devs have said. It all points to your choice of gender determining if you have a sister or a brother, not whether you have a sibling or not.

I'm all for emphasizing the action in these games, but I always liked the weapon restrictions. It's what was supposed to make a soldier unique.

Perhaps if the melee system wasn't ass, I might not even think about it. That wouldn't be a bad tradeoff.

Right now I'm inclined to believe there will be at least two Ryders, one female and another one male, so that when you pick your gender, you are actually choosing between two different characters. 

This has potential. 

Though it could the possible that the other Ryder stays your brother

But look @ Elder Scrolls and they're more diverse and have stories that's not focusing on not just humans but everyone.

Elder Scrolls have stories?

A bunch of Justin Biebers and Selenas? IS THIS WHAT WE ARE GETTING?

Chill

The directed insult doesn't really embolden me to facilitate your request.

In the words of Andrew Ryan - Would you Kindly, Go **** yourself. 

Kindness is a virtue 

 

So you won't put up the key points?

Is there a point the OP is making aside from being upset in general about BioWare's marketing strategy for this game?

Just being a clickbaiter 

Then don't pick the option. Same with the "Who is Mythal" in DAI. You don't have to choose it. 

The fact that it's there when "said race" should already know that answer is the problem

I had a problem with sheps.mom for spacer. If we're role-playing why can't we leave the whole family connection to our.imagination. Why did my mom's name have to be Hannah? I don't have a choice in that?

Why should you have a choice in that? She isn't your avatar 

I'm a litle leery of this idea. If they give us a sibling as a squadmate, I don't want them to die or otherwise be put on a bus for the rest of the OC. If the ME is serious about having family connections playing into the plot, then they should have the sibling around at least for a game.

I don't think the N7 guy is gonna get killed off, I think the leak had something about someone going rogue

This is from Mac Walter: "We are already in the last leg of development"

 

Yet THIS is what you are giving me? This is what you are presenting? I honestly hope that some of you will actually LOOK at the video before you spew this hate.

I adore Mass Effect more than most, perhaps that's the problem. 

Because the game is still coming out next year and still have plenty of time for more info

Is the lack of background options confirmed? I'm still holding out hope for a psych profile/career background in the CC.

Nothing confirmed, having a family wouldn't interfere with a background being chosen 

And that's more likely how? What sibling? There is no sibling. It's bull****. That is my fear for Andromeda.

Ok?

Like what? Give me five good examples. 

He can't because your not gonna like them anyway

Of course they would say that. For hush hush. Can't say that now unless your deaf or blind. You watched the trailer. Accept this.

Accept what? I really don't care either way

The N7 guy is mostly like the protag's sibling 

Where are you getting this from?

Nowhere

I wonder if any members of the Ryder family are squadmates similar to DA2's Bethany and Carver, or if they're civilian refugees on the Ark.

It could even be the N7 guy
