Okay guys, one last try on that account. What you paint as being hate on a new feature is definetely a rage, little or not. But don't come on me like if I were an idiot just screaming because something is new. What we have here is a blade made out of light. I love the blade, I just don't like it being a glowing piece of light.
Why should it be a normal blade?
First, it doesn't glow. Simple as that. If I would be a soldier, the last thing I'd want my knife to do is glow. How should I sneak up to enemies to take them out silently or if camouflage is no big deal, why should I make my opponent wary about me readying a knife to attack him if in closed quarters?
A normal, blackened blade is far superiour in this manner. One moment there is a fist, the next moment there was a blade. No lights to warn you, simple, effective, just as deadly.
Second, it is easily replaceable, and would consume material only once after it was manufactured, even in-field as opposed to the constant need to materialize the tech-blade from nothing and then mysteriously back to nothing. Why not keep the blade?
Third, a premanufactured blade does not fail if your omni-tool loses power. It is still there. Ready to stab enemies without a malfunction. And a small device to ready it into fighting position is easily and foremostly mechanical and thus highly resistant to hacking or powerloss.
And what would we lose? Shiny light effects, that's all. Nothing more, zip, nada, niente, nichts,
How easy would it be to change? (Read that one with salt as I am no graphics designer)
Just change the animation of the blade and the mechanism to position it. Character movement would be the same. Again, if I am right, that wouldn't be hard to achieve.
That said, I WILL of course live with it. I find it cool too. It's just that I would like it exponentially more if it'd be kept a little more tame and original to the lore.
Yes, I am no big fan of Incinerate/Cryo-Blast and the displays of other powers (Drone (Don't let the signature fool you) and Tech Armor/Sb Shield), but I live with that too. And if it'd be more realistically, I'd love it even more (though I really wouldn't miss Incinerate and Cryo-Blast if I got good old Overload and Sabotage back).
I know it's just aesthetics, I know I am nitpicky, but just once I wished there'd be a SciFi game that doesn't want to ride on the Shiny-Wave. ME1 was nearly perfect. I don't know why they had to add all this graphical shizzlele when it was never needed.
And people, don't insult me just because I want things to be more down on earth. If there would have been a normal blade, no-one would have missed the light blade. They'd still all go "W00tz", so I don't understand YOUR rage on me wanting things be more considerate.
