Hey Derek,

Are you Indoctrinated?

Would I be aware if I was?

Was the Batarian Armor pulled from ME1?

It is based on the original design, yes.

A few questions about Cerberus dialogue..

How can Cerberus enemies across the map see/know that you're cloaked? (They say "Target cloaked!") Do they "hear" the cloak sound from that far away, or what? I've heard that enemies can communicate and relay location/information, but this seems to happen when there are no enemies at all within eyeshot, such as at the start of a wave.  And I'm talking distances from the bottom room of Firebase White up to the landing pad where there's no feasible way that they'd see you or even hear your footsteps

Can the Dragoon dialogue be altered slightly from the Centurion in the future? I understand it's easier to copy/paste it, but it's a little confusing. Maybe a pitch change at least? Also, I don't believe Dragoons are supposed to be "team leaders", so I don't think the Dragoon should have the "Squad! Report!" type dialogue, right? Or are they supposed to be communicating between each other because they come in packs?

and a more lighthearted one..

Why do Cerberus units yell out "enemy drone!" when you deploy a decoy, then turn and start shooting it? Seems rather silly, no?

"Hey, that's not an enemy!"
"SHOOT IT ANYWAY!"

That's some bad leadership right there..

Derek,
Is it a possibility if a list could be formed of the voice actor's that voice the specific multiplayer characters? A few threads here tried to piece it together themselves, but there wasn't anything set in concrete as I recall, and the end credits didn't list anything specifically.

Hey Derek,

Do you like Shiala better Green or Blue?

Green is cool.  Makes her unique.

Touché

well answer me this...

Does this prove IT? (I am honestly surprised nobody asked that in this thread).

Whoever locked the character romance thread prohibited the creation of new character love threads. Does this extend to characters such as the Fury, whose attributes can be adjusted accordingly to agree with whoever is favored by the supposed OP? No dialogue, no face, long range biotic primer. Should not be on par with SP then, right?
If to clarify, then whoever loves their Vorcha so much they could be best friends could simply have their vorcha's personality and/or character adjust to avoid arguments?

I think I am confused. 

I think certain mysteries are best left up to imagination.

As others have said, Thanks for taking the time to answer these questions.

First question, are you guys aware of the disappearing credits bug(leaving a lobby very shortly after game ends, losing the credits for it) and if so, anything you can say about a fix?

Second question, is there a technical difficulty with allowing us to move around our powers in MP like we can in SP? For example, moving around Tech armor on Sentinels to the 3rd or 4th slot so you don't accidently purge it.


Edit: Quick 3rd question: Thoughts on Quarian Adepts?

1. Claims are being investigated.

2. The location of powers is hard-coded in MP.

3. Quarian Adepts?  I think they would be cool.

[KENNY4753]

Something I really am curious about...

What is Kal'Reegar's ship name? Do you know if he was given one when the writers created him?

Yes.  Yes I would.

Hey Derek . . .

Just two quick questions:  

1) is that ale on Bryan's desk . . .. at work? 

and


2)  are you hiring?

Are there any actual restrictions that are keeping you from adding the SP only weapons to multiplayer or is it a case of "we just haven't."

Chakram Launcher, Valkyrie, Adas, BP Punisher, in MP would make me very happy

(PS, tell Fagnan to buff ARs next week)

As long as the assest exists, it can be imported.  That's about all I can say.

Derek,
Whats the gun, power, and character you feel need to be buffed the most.

Really?  Damn.  Switching between the Drell Adept and the Justicar really messes with my muscle memory and it would be nice to customize your own power hotkeys.

[N1GHTHeR0]

 This isn't exactly a question, I just wanted to extend my gratitude for you taking the time to answer all these questions. Really appreciate it! 

[ParthianShotX]

Hey Derek -- Thought of another coupla questions after seeing your answers appear after my post: Do you get OT for this or are you just an awesomely nice, generous guy? Do all these questions make the third eye cross with the other two?

[Assuming Direct Control]

If money doesn't grow on trees then why do banks have branches?

[ParanoidDrone]

Oh, here's a question:

Presumably the process for the weekly balance changes takes roughly a week. You also presumably become aware of balance issues via the forums. At what point in the week is it "too late" for any relevant fixes to show up in the next balance change, but must be postponed until the next cycle?

Also, how do you balance damage, enemy HP, and other similar stats? What sort of criteria are used? DPS, time to kill, or something else entirely?

threads like these is what makes BSN unique imo. there aren't many devs who talk activly with their comunity, so big thanks for that. two quick questions.

1.) how did you get your job at bioware? I suppose you were a big bioware fan before and just gave it a try?

2.) classic taxi driver question but i will ask you the same nevertheless: what's the greatest distance you traveled so far?

1. I posted my resume on EA's job board and received an invitation to a job fair in Edmonton about a year later.  I was a big fan, yes.  I was pretty excited to have received the invite.

2. While serving in the Canadian Forces, I spent a portion of that career with the Navy (we have an amalgamated service).  In 1992 I circumnavigated the world aboard HMCS Restigouche.  From home base in Victoria, B.C. around the world entirely.

Sorry, there are numerous legal issues I have to skirt on these questions.  Text chat has been brought up to the people who can comment on it.

Community suggestions are terrific but run into intellectual property issues for implementation.

What exactly do you mean by intellectual property issues? Are you sayng that because someone else (as in someone not working for bioware) came up with the idea that you are unable to use it?

Ill field this one
1) It is technically the desk beside mine, me and another QA went to our local brewery (we got a free tour complete with all the beer we could drink about a month ago), during a fire drill. So yes this is at work, the other 6 were in my fridge that is nearby.

2) Check the BioWare careers page

Who voices the N7 Paladin? Is it you, Derek? ō.ó

I do not.  I do not know who does, sorry.

Hey Derek,

I'm not asking if it's in a DLC or anything, but do you think it would be cool if we had a new map where we were fighting on the outside of a broken Reaper ship in space?

Or failing that a ship to ship scenario?

Also I hear where you are is nice this time of year?

P.s. You can totally use those idea's if you want.

Any chance of ever seeing a playable Collector character?

I want to play as one so much...

EDIT: I mean Leviathan controlled ones, of course. I don't think a Collector would agree to fight the Reapers on his own...

Sounds fun.

Are the Euler-Mascheroni constant, Catalan's constant or Khinchin's constant transcendental?

Hi Derek

I'm not sure if this is something you know about or not. I have ME3 for my 360 but I've put a ton of money into my PC. I'd go out and buy the PC version of the game in a heartbeat but I can't stand playing games with a keyboard and mouse. I've gathered from other posts on the forums here that this is a prickly subject. I still haven't been able to figure out why though. I would humbly request that controller support be added to the PC version of the game. I am ready to spend money on the game I love.

If you know what all the hullabaloo is maybe you could shed some light on it. Is it just a matter of limited resources and low priority? It'd be sweet to get some Dev feedback on this one.

(btw - Thanks so much for taking questions at all. 34 pages in so far shows that this is popular!)

I can pass this along as feedback.
