My purchase will be digital, so what's on the 'box' will be irrelevant.
As for the art, I expect a composition rather than a highlighted character.
Nah, I have to have a physical copy of any game I buy otherwise I don't feel like I really own it. Maybe I'm just old and stuck in my ways. Damn kids need to stay off my lawn...shakes fist.

I don't like physical copies simply because I'm neurotic about losing or damaging them. It's happened!
EDIT: It's also much more convenient to use Origin, Steam or Battle.net than be putting disks in and taking them out all the time.

I'm sure sooner or later, whether I want to or not, I will be forced to go digital. They'll just stop making physical copies. But an example of where it was useful. I recently got the hankering for playing Kotor 1 & 2, and was able to dig out my copies and install. If I hadn't maintained them, I would have had to repurchase digital copies. If the gaming industry would allow us to download digital copies for those who own physical, I might be inclined to switch over.

That's... strange. I remember having a physical copy of Skyrim and using the activation code to get a digital copy on Steam. Maybe it's just an EA thing?
But, we're not quite on topic here 
They should have an Easter Egg where one of the male prostitutes looks like Solas
I would like it 
the guy have great ASSet
Fine by me, or in other words - I'm totally indifferent.
They won't exclude the typical tough looking man glaring at us with a gun in his hand, most likely, but I wouldn't be surprised if they did include an alternate version with the female pc. Isn't that what they did with ME3? Can't quite recall.

It is off topic, but Origin works the same. I have a physical copy of DAI and I've never used those DVDs.
Anyway, Remember Me is a bad example - the game bounced between publishers, barely got any marketing, and had a combat system that most people criticised. Tomb Rider and Overwatch seem to be doing just fine. And judging by the marketing, Dishonored 2 might get Emily on the cover.

Huh, I'm opposite. I prefer physical copies cause I feel like they are real- they exist in my shelf when digital copies are just data that can be lost ^^;

I'm with you. Jade Empire was digitally downloaded. it installed but have no copy of it. I "frequently" change my game hard drive and or Windows system. Both actions forces me to reinstall. Digital downloads are a super pain because I have an internet cap.
So, yes to physical media and why I rarely download digitally.

You're better off playing KotoR 2 on Steam. They updated it with gamepad compatibility and opened it up to Steam Workshop, so you don't even need to work to install your mods anymore. And the Restored Content Modification is up there. It's glorious.
As it happens, the PS3 version of Portal 2 *did* come with a Steam code for the game! I traded the physical copy in eventually, still have the Steam one. Also glorious.

You would like the way Good Old Games does it. You can download a DRM-free install file of every game they offer and squirrel it away in a portable storage device for whenever you need to reinstall. Unfortunately that makes their games REALLY easy to pirate, so a lot of devs don't put their stuff up there. But they have a good selection of retro games and are good about making them compatible with newer computers.
So, the way this thread's going we need a digital banner covering the tips and bottoms of scantly-clad fem/broRyders, who still have their helmets on for the cover.
The first game off the top of my head is Remember Me, that game would of been the Quantum Break before Quantum Break came out
Remember Me didn't sell like crap because of durr womyn on the cover, it sold like crap because it was the first game from a studio nobody had heard of, with no marketing. I didn't know the game even existed until after it was released.

This.
It doesn't help that it also isn't especially unique from a gameplay standpoint. Basic action with some basic adventure climbing around and a gameplay gimmick that appears maybe three or four times throughout the game. I didn't know it existed until it went up on PlayStation Plus for free.

The custom combo system was pretty solid, though.
Remember Me isn't anything great, but definitely worth playing. Great visuals and a fun sci-fi mystery.

Just ironically... forgettable.
I only jumped on the game because I'm always on the lookout for a cool femtag and they're still in the process of becoming more of a normal thing to see in games.

This sounds like the most reasonably suggestion so far. Make it Bioware!

I liked Remember Me, it's nothing special but it's fun to play and interesting story. It's same as Witcher 1 Then nobody know what witcher is, Witcher what? We discussing cover than it's don't matter.new Fallout instant buy, new elder scrolls instant buy, I still buy mass effect andromeda even after all 3 ME games story getting worse and worse each game by most horrible culmination. We just don't have much selection of this type of games. And some who exist is like you say you find out only after release, sometimes you don't find even after release.
I'm not opposed to the idea of having a unique female only trailer.
I just think its a stupid idea is all.
No more than having a unique male-only trailer. Hasn't stopped them on that front so far.
We wouldn't be having this conversation if the game that gave you a gender choice had been marketing itself with both Shepards from the start. Why does one trailer have to have only one Shepard?
*edit* how on earth did my post jump from another thread to here??

But that's exactly the problem with physical copies. You can lose them. If you had ever had a digital copy of KotOR, this wouldn't have been an issue.
Note that EA lets you register your physical disks with Origin. Key in your Mass Effect code and it shows up like any other Origin game, free DLCs included. Beats fishing up a BDtS installer.
FWIW, I did a timed ME1 install via both methods. Over my ~19Mbps WiFi it was something like three times longer to install from Origin than from disk, though I did get the two DLCs with Origin and would have had to dredge them up separately if I wanted them.
You know what would be cool (although probably highly impractical in reality ).
Having a bunch of covers in which only the protag changed. Imagine these side by side in the shop :
1) shaved head grizzled man with big revenant-style gun
2) dark haired woman with sniper rifle
3) clean-shaven men with cool omni tool
4) exotic featured woman all lit up by biotics
It'd really get across the idea of customation in an instant and nicely visual way.
Four individual covers would be a bit impractical (printing), but two reversible covers with different male+female combinations (a la ME3's cover) wouldn't be so unreasonable. I dig the idea.

Any art work that strongly suggests it's a Mass Effect Andromeda game is fine with me.
