Derek which do you prefer making your chili or your spaghetti?

My chili is award-winning but spagetti is my favourite food.  I wish the world was one big plate of spagetti.

Hey, Derek

In future Dlc, is is safe to assume that the character re-skins this time around were a one time thing? It'll make no difference on how the game plays, and I feel like it's not that big a deal, but a lot of the characters use the same model.

Also, I like how the team has distinguished Ultra Rare characters as a different playstyle to justify their rarity rather than making them all-powerful kits. Since their existence doesn't "cheat" players out of an Ultra Rare weapon (because the store decides what type of item you get first, then rarity), I feel like the community can't really complain too much. That being said, would you consider the concept of future UR characters?

Btw, thanks for the suberb content. You guys do a superb job supporting the game, and keeping the community happy. I don't think I've ever devoted more than one month to a single title, and before this I've never been a fan of Multiplayer. With support like this, I'll be here until the servers for it go offline.

Edit: Oh, oh! Something I've always wanted to know; Was the N7 Shadow originally supposed to have some version of Phase disruptor? The way she has her palm blaster shown prominently in the character selection screen implies this heavily. Also, what were you guys planning to do with their cover-grab animations? The Shadow and Slayer's description says that their monomolecular blades were "deadly from cover" as well. Sorry, I know thats a bit to read, but I'd love to know.

I can't comment about future development on any project.

I can say that utilizing existing assets like character models and skins is an efficient means of creating new combinations.

We had a few ideas tossed around for the N7 Shadow including a palm blaster but we felt the more acrobatic electric slash was visually more exciting.

Over cover grabs for the slayer and shadow had various ideas tossed around as well.

Of the 3 new collector weapons, which is your favorite (sniper, smg, ar) and why?

I still enjoy assault rifles though the smg can really rock hard with the right mods...I'll leave you folks to figure that out.  You haven't let me down so far.

Hey Derek, I'd like to know why a claymore shot does more damage than a krogan charge (force 'n damage build)

No really, that power is becoming worthless.

Hmm, why is a shotgun more powerful than a linebacker's tackle?

Good question.

Why was the Paladin shipped without a biotic power? As awesome as he is now, he should/could have had a biotic power (lash maybe?)

It was a design decision.  None of his existing powers fit a biotic profile.

Hey Derek. Thanks for the awesome MP!

Fast question, do you use Linux? If yes, what distro?
Just for curiosity sake.
(I use Ubuntu myself)

I do not use Linux myself though I have experimented with it.  Various dists.

Derek, are you going to answer anymore questions?

I beleive he will be, but it is the weekend.

Only Bryan Johnson stalks the forums during the weekends.

More evidence to me that Bryan may be a synthetic.

Why do the patch notes say that krogans and batarians should get stunned less than other races but they seem tog et stunned even ore than before?

Perception.  Their thresholds are definitely higher than they were.  Any enemy that does enough force to break that threshold will still stagger them.

Derek, question, for the new characters release. are you picking one at random every week, or is there a predetermined order at which you guys are releasing them?

We have an ordered but flexible list.

Baby quarians?

No cryo nades because cryo explosions from recent balance mod, right? Is that the cause?

Not sure what baby quarians have to do with cryo grenades.

Cryo grenades were mentioned in the same thread that requested tech charge. Were tech explosions modified in detonation to satisfy that request?

We felt that tech explosions would help make tech powers as desireable as biotics.

What are your thoughts on a sniper or smg melee damage mod? Not asking if/when it will happen, just curious what you think about the idea.

Might throw things out of whack from a balance perspective.  Otherwise...cool!

Separate action keys(E for interact, shift for sprint) or the do everything space bar of ME3?

If you played ME1 on PC which do you prefer?

PS: Thank whoever came up with the N7 Paladin, unlocked him last weekend after taking a long break from MP and love the class.

I understand and support the design choice.  However, for strictly personal reasons I wouldn't have minded a bit more customization in that regard.

I preferred ME1 on Xbox but PC is still fun.

Given the success of MP, can we take it for granted that there's gonna be MP in the next ME game or even as a standalone game?

I know, I know, you can't answer that yet, I know. But if I can trick you into giving us vague hints, I will, by all means.

Here's my reply:

Not sure if you can answer or not...but was the Turian Havoc originally going to be a Vanguard? I ask because of the Vanguard Extraction Progress that Cyonan found in the patch before retaliation dropped.

The thought here was that he was still first and foremost a soldier all but that one power.

Derek,

Did the last patch make it easier for you guys to fix bugs via the weekly balance changes? I ask because Eric made a comment that post-patch you'll be able to tweak the drell kits in a way you couldn't previously.

Are you guys planning another patch? /obligatoryquestionyoucantanswer

The patch helped us so that we would be able to tweak a lot of things.

I can't answer the second question.

Hey Derek!
Mordin or Padok Wiks?

Mordin.

I do find brute force more enjoyable though.
