Hi Bryan.

How many times have you played the Mass Effect games?

Also thanks to you guys for the packs coming out with no problems this week!

I have never completed ME1

ME2 the first time I completed it was a "speed" run in Japanese.

I have done ME2 ~15 times (most of which were speed runs [can do in about 3 hours]).

I have yet to beat ME3 as I am trying to beat ME1 then ME2 so I can finish ME3 (because I want a renegade with Kirahe alive)

Wow I can't imagine completing the game in 3 hours. Every playthrough usually takes me at least 30 hours because I have to look in every corner for stuff to loot.

What do you name your Shepard's? (Ever played FemShep?)

What's your preferred genre of video game (RPG, action/adv, shooter etc)?

I have been trying to beat the QA record of 2h 46min

I sometimes name my shepard but most of the time keep the name the same. I play femshep more than male shep actually.

RPG, and TBS

Hey Bryan, thanks for taking the time to answer questions. Do you personally think like the Krogan kits feel and play enough like Krogans? I realize that balance comes into play, but is there any chance our Krogans could get Kroganier?

I am happy with the implementation of the current Krogan kits

Well not with that attitude, you're not.

I lack a current passport

Any chance of BW implementing a a buff indicator?

Its kind of hard to guess if, for example, I am still getting the 20 seconds damage bonus, or should I purge my fortification again, or heavy melee someone else.

It would be simple, really helpful, and make sense - our characters would be espected to know their own buffs.

D you think this could be implemented?

I suppose it could be implemented. I dont see a technical reason why not.

Have you played Skyrim? (And are you guys at the ME MP team happy you pulled me away from my 200+ hours of Skyrim? )

Who do you romance as FemShep or do you bother with the romance line at all in those speedruns?

Also thanks for answering the questions.

Yes I have played Skyrim it is one of the "serious" games I can get my gf to also play. I would say we are happy people are playing our product.

Thane/Garrus are typical LIs and in speed runs everyone dies.

What's working/living in edmonton like?

I don't mind it but there is definitely things that could be improved.

I see, well follow up, would you say montreal is better then?

Never been there, would love to though

Thx for the input, mostly asked cause I saw a couple of open positions at both locations.

Montreal I believe is more culturally alive, but more expensive to live

As I asked Derek, how do you view the BSN community, especially when compared to other communities?

I personally dont mind, it I cant really comment on other communities because of the simple fact that I am a unique position in this.

The stressful part is attempting to give information when there is aspects I cant reveal due to nda or other internal secrets and people call me a liar etc. I have been allowed to be more open as of late but when people question my credibility and motives it does sting.

Hey Bryan. If I may ask, if it isn't too invasive. It seems that Devs are more inclined on MP than SP. Now, ME was built from the ground up for its amazing SP experience, but I see the main Devs of MP (Like yourself and Derek) contributing more to the community as a whole. Now don't get me wrong, MP has been the best part for ME for me for the better part of the last two months, it just seems that MP gets more looking at in terms of QC instead of the base of the series, SP. Is this true?

SP is what I would call a "static" product once it gets released then there isnt much we can follow up with, sure we investigate SP issues. But the majority of the team you see posting is part of the Live team, and this far out from release the live team would normally not exist but given there is a MP component that is where the majority of the live work goes.

Another few questions to Bryan.

1: If you could play a fantasy CRPG or MMORPG like World Of Warcraft, Dragon Age, Gothic. (Warning ! Some people could be know this series) Risen, Elder's Scrolls... What race and class would be your character ?

2: As for Outsider banner. I think this banner is crazy so i wish you good hunting with this i currently hunt Biotic God. xD

3: What you thinking about few new ideas for classes ? Salarian Soldier ? Quarian Female Soldier ? Geth Sentinel ? (Ok people ! We have a N7 Paladin as a technical sentinel) Krogan Engineer Asari Soldier, Turian Female Soldier and Sentinel, Turian Adept and Vanguard, Cerberus Defector Female Adept and Vanguard, Cerberus Defector Soldier and Engineer ? I think would be awesome.

4: What is hardest thing is do in Multiplayer ? I mean here as a developer.

1) Warforged Mage (Yes I took D&D)

2) I am at about 91% (need another 113 waves)

3) I dunno that is creative things that I am bad with

4) Replication is a huge pain

Is EA mad at you guys(Bioware) for using Steam? (seeing as some things have gone wrong between you-know-who and EA)

I am not sure what you mean, and I do not deal with the interaction between BioWare and EA, a bit above my paygrade

Vic7im wrote...

You've probably answered that before but, who's that guy in your avatar?

Also, what's your favourite faction to play against and why?

Killer number 2 from the movie Bunraku

Reapers, I just like the different unit abilities and how they all interact with each other

Hey Bryan. I have 2 questions:

1) Have you ever soloed (or attempted to solo) Platinum?
2) What role does Bioware Montreal have in ME3 MP?

1) Not without cheating, stil need to get my equipment up
2) Montreal has 2-3 programmers and 1 designer that help out, but for the most part ME3 MP has moved to BWE since launch.

Since you haven't completed the trilogy, but played ME2...

Favorite moment in ME2?

The window push

Hey Bryan!

I asked Derek who the comedian at Bioware and he said it was Watts.

Is Watts also funny and you think he should have a face off with Preston to see who is funnier?

Haven't interacted that much with Derek Watts, ill have to sit down with Derek Hollan and debate this one

NPlewes or Fagnan?

For what? Nplewes is the producer I work with the most

Ok then, which character from the MP roster would you describe NPlewes as?

A turian sent, can take a few hits and is a really good support

xsdob wrote...

Five questions,

1. Will we see new banners in the future, maybe ones for playing certain races or classes a lot.

2. Why did the bioware team decided on an RNG system rather than a normal store where you buy what you like with points you earn.

3. How do you guys come up with operation names and challenges?

4. What is your favorite gun to use and why?

5. What is the one ultrarare item that makes you most frustrated trying to get from the store?

1. Yes there will be new banners, wont say from doing what but there will be

2. It was a design decision, I am not a hive mind so I cant respond to the reasoning

3. I unno, I believe it is writing that does it

4. Striker, I like guns that ramp up and the boom sound it does

5. Paladin

I asked Derek this one, but I guess no harm in asking you. =P
What do you think of the idea of different soundtracks for different factions(Overlord-Geth, Suicide mission/Collectors theme-Collectors, etc). Of course, they could possibly only play during objective waves as to keep from getting dull.

Would be a cool idea, would require another DLC
