i think casey has a high dexterity level. He could probably off-tank and dodge aoes at this point in development.

If they can't answer our questions yet, they shouldn't ask for them xD

There is the better part of an entire year between us and ME3. He can't spill all the beans at once.

True, true. And being able to read between the lines or not also somewhat factors in it, as yesterday's on-stage 'interview' basically confirmed some sort of multiplayer in ME3.

Casey is just doing his job and sometimes it evolves dodging questions.

[Leaser Resael]

-Will exploration work like before? -One of the things we've made is... (and then he starts talking about other things and the question never gets answered).
Sometimes a simple "Yes or No" or "I can't comment on that right now" would be enough.

Make him a preset for male shep 

As for the op, would you rather him dodge questions or spoil it for you?

[IronSabbath88]

That was actually my question, (The one about new biotic and tech powers) and honestly, I was okay with it. I understand that the game isn't done yet, he even said not to super analyze everything because it wasn't nearly as complete.

I feel like he did a good job. He seems like a professional about everything, and even keeps his cool about questions that get answered every other day. *cough* Tali's face *cough*

But yeah, I was okay with it.

[Kyria Nyriese]

While I would love to know everything about the game before it gets here, since it's still 8 months away, that would take away the reason to play the game. I know Casey doesn't do a great job of no comment, he actually tries to make it seem like he's answering the question when he's not. So I really have no issue with the way things have been done thus far.

[Mongerty2]

I think he is doing fine answering questions. There are quite a few things he must stay vague on for the reasons others have posted.

Other questions cause him to sort of go more in-depth without answering immediately. This is not being dodgy, but him trying to explain reasoning or explain where the question is coming from/what it is about.

[Criz]

I have to admit when they did the BioWare Pulse Q&A at the end of E3 I already zoned out when Casey used certain phrases. And I have to agree with a previous post, if you can't answer questions because you'd spoil things, then don't ask for questions. Because the way Casey 'answers' sometimes it has nothing to do anymore with the question and he could just as well just talk about what he can talk from the beginning ...

also, ironically enough this was done ages ago in regards to promoting ME2 ...

Personally I'd rather hear him say "I cannot comment on that at this point."

I'd find it to be very honest. That's just me though.

[Ianamus]

The problem is that if he just said "I cannot comment at this point" Then that would end up being the response to nearly every question. Can you imagine a Q&A where every answer except for two was a "I cannot comment on that at the moment"? It would be a disaster.

I think you are reading between too many lines.

 For awhile I worked for the devil and whenever we would pitch a game in order to sell it, we usually followed somewhat of a "script" or mental bullet points that my boss would make for us. If we were genuinely excited - we would research more on our own time, but we weren't allowed to spout spoilers for obvious reasons. When you're doing nothing but answering questions all day - you tend to go on auto pilot.

My guess is, Casey has a mental list of everything he is allowed to say and does not go beyond that. When someone says "weapons" or "powers" in any context he probably just repeats his mental script. Its intended to reassure the audience that they have a plan for that area of the game without revealing much more.

I personally agree. I would much rather Casey say something like "We have a lot in store for that portion of the game, but we're still working on it and I can't discuss it right now or make false promises to you guys." 

Bioware / EA could really do with some good PR, especially after the huge amount of fans that disliked DA2 (even though it was a different dev team, tons of people claim they're continuing to "dumb down content").

I don't mind it too much. There
is very little he's allowed to reveal this early on, but he can't just
say 'I can't answer that' to every question.

Besides, its better than the Peter Molyneux style of just making things up instead.

why not, it means he can move onto more questions quicker, instead of "what does Liara's Biotic Pull do to enemy shields? it rips them off? thats so interesting Casey, oh, and Garrus' Concussive shot pushes them back?<_<

Nope,
not at all. After working long time in different companies, your learn
how customer service works. They can't answer question, because they
don't know the answer or it's not benefitial them to answer for them.
Learn to handle something what it's not in your control, because it's
your personal issue. Little like children asking,  why I can't get what I
want.

My problem was him answering things unrelated to the question. Not him not giving us an answer on everything, read the topic before you post.

[comrade8472]

would you rather him say "assuming direct control" and eyes turn red...and reveal that Tali is a mini reaper?

Or air Quote the turian ambasador "ah yes questions we have dismissed those as _______" (insert blank with what you wish) my suggestion "wild assertations" 
Or quote Monuel "spoilers" "Time ---- age--- humanity---end---one---darkness--destroyer......----"
 plus I say They confirmed that Wrex is a *cough*ladies *Cough*man*cough* that's pretty major in light of certain forum topics *gag*

my opinion**** so they shouldn't reveal anything till march 5 2012 what do they reveal:  *shepard is in the game that's ****all that is needed to be known****... and on Jan 18 if they push back the release date to finish the game I would be happy!

  I think they should release ME3 when it's READY not when a "release date" comes.

Why didnt he make it into the game?

[StefanBW]

lol I like the flame shield ability.

[Malanek]

He's being asked all sorts of stuff that he should never answer before the release. I don't think he should answer more than say 5% of story spoilers before the game is released. Game mechanics, stage of development, UI queries etc are all fair game because they don't spoil anything.

yeah that's the problem tho. There was a nice Article in GI last year about why Developers act like this and it is about people taking every statement they make in the wrong way or sensationalizing them even if it about subjects that are fair game. Followed by the fact that the feedback on such statements more than often is now a well thought analysis  with added suggestion but a very broad 'OMG THE SUXXORZ" or "RUINED FOREVER"....without any explanation

now, Morons will do that one way or the other and a simple qualifying sentence (like...well everything is subject to change but, here's what we are doing now") would solve part of the problem. That said, Casey does tend to dodge questions a LOT I would really feel less insulted (yes sometimes the non-answers he gives make me feel like he believes we are all idiots to a point....I know it is not meant that way) if he just said "sorry we cannot comment on that now" 

[JukeFrog]

I'd rather him dodge questions than turn out like Molyneux.
