I have a couple questions that really don't deserve their own thread, and I'm sure you guys do, too.  So let's throw 'em all together and see what gets answered.

Cheez's dumb question #1: Do we get to keep the credits/gear we unlock in the MP demo for the full game, or do we have to blow credits gambling for Turian Sentinels again?

Cheez's dumb question #2: For PC voice chat, would a cheap, integrated microphone work?  I've never done co-op before, so I don't know if the game will register my standard mic as input.

Alistair's dumb question: Why do galactic universal transelators not translate "siha" and "ardat-yakshi" into english when they apparently DO translate? (demon of the night winds or moons or whatever)

I can take this one. Even here on Earth in the 21st Century, there is no need to translate foreign words that have become common usage or whose translations don't have the same effect as the literal translation. Words such as chauffeur, schadenfreude, ad nauseam, deus ex machina, doppelganger, faux pas, chutzpah, karaoke, latte, and a whole lot of foods either don't have an English equivalent, or the English equivalent is more complex and requires concepts to be taught.

Knowing and using the foreign term can be easier and less confusing in the long run.

Out of character, it's a way to give a sense of alienness without having to create an entirely new language to force those poor voice actors to learn. :)

What you get in the demo does not carry over sorry.

I use a webcam and it works fine

How does soldiers adrenaline rush work for MP? Is there still time dilation or is it just a damage boost?


Damage boost

Damage boost


Would be cool to see speed and damage reduction variants of adrenelin rush. Like temporary speed boosts or temporary 20% resistance to health damage. Just a little idea for power evolution.


Sorry I only answered the question and didnt go into detail. There is variations and one of them is decrease health and shield damage by 25% and another for 50% shield boost. There is other variations you can pull out as well, hope this helps

New question. If we make a mistake leveling up our character, is there any mechanic that allows you to undo your points and respend?


If you go into the "Powers" menu while you're in a MP lobby, you'll notice a "Reset Powers" button.

****On a side note****

AdmiralCheez created this thread with a pretty specific purpose, to act as a Q&A of quick little questions from the BNS community's general knowledge of ME, and when we're lucky, a response or two from bioware.  Its a good idea, can cut down on OT chatter in other threads, and I'd rather like to see it stick around for a while.

PLEASE dont threadjack it.

That means please avoid "i dont like _____", "I think ____ would be cool", "bioware ware should_____"  or anything along those lines.   And dont argue about Tali's face, cerberus or  Kai Lengs favorite cereal.

Thanks, dude.

As for the question, "do we unlock anything in the final game for playin the demo," I haven't heard anything that suggests we do.


Not that I'm aware of.

I have some questions:

1. Can the MP be played offline and with bots? (Think Gears)


Negative, Ghost Rider.
