  @Knights_Path Thinking some more, when the player asks a question you have a problem to solve: The player idle while asking a question looks blank Mass Effect solved it through a close up shot here and there, obscuring the body so you can't see Shepherd's hands Baldur's Gate had transition anims between lines from pose w/ anim to pose w/ anim, which kept the silent protagonist of the dialogue engaging You should choose one of these, or a mix of both, to keep the character from feeling plastic. The speaker need not have this because they are generally receiving queries and questions from the speaker, but stance changes are crucial for the target speaker

  @TANUKI69696969 I really don't know how you can fix it. I played the game pre update and the story is so forgettable. You can't utilize your squad like mass effect 3 during combat. It feels like a game with no real worry of your choices when there was no feel that would get a sequel. Just boring

  @gerogeroR I think a sci fi that actually shows the difficulty of a multispecies federation that doesn't gloss over the trouble caused by distinct life would be interesting. Mass effect got the closest but they still showed things mostly functioning normally on the citadel.

  @cerealsthatkill @DanFriedman81 Woke is why you got to that point. If someone said that they wanted to show you a sleazy underworld bar on the edge of the galaxy, what would you expect to see there? Mass Effect 2 had alien space strippers. So who on Starfield decided that the sleezy space bar would have flabby male dancers in gross spandex onesies with florp hats? Who made this call and how did they get hired? 1. Are you really telling me that’s the best they could do? 2. Why hire someone like that in the first place? 3. Why did no one stop them from making something so lame? This demonstrates that the hiring process was corrupted, and that there was no longer a functioning management system capable or willing to make important creative decisions. Because we see a huge problem in that people were making decisions they shouldn’t have made, and there was no one stopping them from doing it! You cannot simply chalk these things up to some failure of management because these were studios that used to know how to deliver record shattering games.

  Romances in Baldur's Gate 3 aren't fundamentally different than Mass Effect from nearly 2 decades ago. BG3 is just a longer game. Still has the same annoying problem of either making a character dislike you or wanting to bang with no inbetween.

  @WeAreMassEffect Mass Effect Andromeda is a great game and was overshadowed by the launch bugs that were fixed as fast as we could notice. Same reason why Watch Dogs Legion was a fast hype and failure. It was a GREAT game, but worse than MEA, they didn't fix anything and left a lot of bugs...

  @lssjxeno @SabamonsterSR 1. SBI is a bunch of angry feminists, not gamers. They entred a predomenantly male-centric industry loved by both men and women, and started lecturing fans on feminism, race, and diversity. Literally every came connected to their direct influence is a financial disaster. Fans aren't jumping at every opportunity to slur, trash, and cheer the financial flops of ethnic stories/characters. Evidence? From major supporting cast like Barret (FF7), Dudley (SF), or leading cast Spawn (SNES), Jacob (Mass Effect), Shadow Man (PS1) and +10M resounding success of AC: Origins proves majority of gaming nerds are receptive and open minded people who root for good games. Race isn't the issue, quality always is.

  @Grummz All this work they are putting into a game that will sell 70% less than it would have if the protagonist was a custom character like Mass Effect had. Easy fix. Naughty Dog let US decide what our main character should look like. Cause what you made is going to kill your sales.

  @Polygon So that means even less live service games? I’m all in on that. We need single player + multiplayer hybrid games back. Uncharted 2 had multiplayer. Perfect Dark had multiplayer. Mass Effect 3 had multiplayer.

  @nuhre_ From what I saw the problem is they have Mass Effect Andromeda level writing, with characters that won't STFU in combat always having a quirky statement.

  Knight(Fate)1029384756 (@Knight10293847) reported 36 minutes ago

  My first gut instinct is to agree because yeah. Mass Effect doesn't need a canon ending and it should by all mean respect what the players have done and explore those consequences to their natural conclusions. What the rachni choice should have been is exactly that. If you killed the rachni they shouldn't have showed up at all in ME3. Imagine hearing from a friend who killed the rachni and them saying "I didn't get that mission. Like I saw Grunt and we fought Reapers but the rachni didn't exist in my game. I killed them." And just being struck by how that decision not only makes the renegade choice correct (in a way) but also such a vast difference. An entire enemy type and race just doesn't have influence at all in the game. But that didn't happen. What happened is the rachni game back regardless and the only difference was if you paragon'd you paragon'd again to get war assets. If you renegaded you renegaded again to not loss war assets. Something that does have an effect but its not what the player expects on a bare bones basic or even what they wildly might think. And that is the issue with the ending choices of Mass Effect. The promise such divergent stories that can't simply be crunched into a similar path. There will just be fundamentally different conflicts and issues with each one of them. This video does suggest they just do what Mass Effect has always done but that is accepting a comprise instead of expecting what it should natural be. Not having different assignments to show that "Hey there are differences?" But genuine world differences. Synthesis is described where conflict isn't really a factor anymore. Where everyone knows what its like to be someone else. That story, that exploration of the themes would result in a much less action oriented game and more something like Disco Elysium where the central conversation is about what this life is like. Control is likewise a very different kind of conflict where smaller scale wars could happen. But galactic conflicts just won't exist. Something like a Krogan Civil War is just unlikely to happen with a Shepard controlling the Reapers. Where they could easily stomp down on any major conflict. And not only that but things like diseases, medically issues and similar things would nearly be erased. Maybe there is a story where Shepard becomes a tyrant and rules over organics as an AI god but I don't think many could see their Shepard doing that and I don't think BioWare could see Shepard doing that. Destroy likewise would just be about reconnecting the galaxy together and would be the one most similar to the setting before the Crucible. And all of this isn't even accounting for honoring other player choices. I mentioned it a bit with the Krogan Civil War hinted at in a N7 teaser but there is literally no way a Krogan Civil War can realistically exist in a Synthesis ending or a Control Ending. Not in the way the art depicts. Like I can not accept that if the quarians are dead in one playthrough that BioWare just goes. JK they live and the only difference is a mission. No, it should feel like a real loss. Something was fundamentally changed between a version of them living and a version of them dead. Because that is the promise of importing choices. A major decision was made and you will see how that plays out to its fullest. Not half, not a quarter but seeing it realized. The same feeling you get in a D&D session where a major choice you made comes back and makes you realize it would have been different if you made a different choice. I know for a fact that if BioWare does crunch the endings and the only difference is different side quests, I and other fans would be upset. Because that isn't what I wanted. The solution for BioWare is two fold. The hard path and the easy path. The first is they just buckle down make three games and honor the choices made in each game. Not saying Synthesis should be Disco Elysium but Mass Effect but its the one that makes the most sense in my head. But something that fully explores the ramifications of having this union between synthetics and organics. Same with Control and same with Destory. The second path is just canonize an ending. Its the easiest way because they can focus their efforts on story of the game instead of making a game that is literally about showing the player their choices and making the game before 2040. I think they should also canonize the Genophage, and quarian and geth choices because I know for a fact that if they don't it will be real sad seeing the only differences being less krogan, quarians and geth. And this isn't even considering the fact that the Krogan Civil War just won't happen at the scale shown in the artwork if Wreav is in charge, Eve is dead, and the Genophage isn't cured. Sorry but the krogan would just die out. Because the expectation of that combination of choices would be the krogan's extinction. Its how the games have framed it since the beginning and to alter that would introduce internal inconsistency. I hope this shows why this will be so difficult for BioWare but also why literally no other RPG studio has done it to this scale. What BioWare did with ME1 to 3 and DAO to DAI is astounding. Truly more than what I have seen. Because CDPR fumbled that and gave up with Witcher 3. Small example being Thaler is alive no matter what. And big example is that the dragon state you helped create alongside helping the Scoia'tael in the prior games just does nothing. No mention of it and not even the bare bones of them coming to help Geralt at Kaer Morhen. Obsidian did it fine enough but they just didn't do that with Outer Worlds 2 and Avowed. Larian? What about Larian? Larian has set each of their Divinity games 100s of years apart from each other just so they don't have to address it and on top of that they just are inconsistent. Only caring recently because they made it bigger. And don't even get me started with BG3. I know Wizards has already canonized events but what was with Viconia and Saervok? Just random guys with their names attached. Not even canonized endings just completely different people. Casey Hudson did an interview with Game Informer about this and he is right when he says this has to be planned out. So, many of these companions did these as features because BioWare did it because BioWare controlled what was supposed to be in an RPG. But as that feature waned without BioWare pushing it these other developers slowly removed it. Because its ******* hard to do. Great rewards if done right. A true feeling of your character existing in the world and having an effect long after it happened but a mountainous path it is. Again I want the hard path. BioWare. I'll wait man. Make three games and honor the choices of each of them. But as this video says its also about the money. And there isn't any reality where EA goes "Yeah, we can about 5 years with each release and for each of those games to be very different. Go head."

  to anyone saying that people who don't like the new god of war because you hate woman and female lead characters in games, or you only like characters that are half naked and 'hot', which i am one of those people who does not like the new god of war i love Cynder the dragon, the second lead in legend of spyro dawn of the dragon, how is she half naked and hot? i love Grace Ashcroft who is not half naked, she is also one of the lead characters, i love Claire Redfield, she is not half naked, also a second lead, Lara Croft, yes she is technically half naked, but i do not find her 'hot', i love female Shepard from Mass Effect, she is not half naked, she is also the main character, unless you choose male Shepard, i love Jill valentine, she is not half naked, she is also the second main character, i don't find any of these characters 'hot', but i still love playing them, because they are interesting characters, i play video games because i want a good story with good characters, if you are going to make your lead a female, make them interesting and not bland that are perfect in every way, just to put bs diversity, none of these characters i mentioned are perfect and bland, they make mistakes and have problems, that is what makes them good just like most male characters are not perfect, Kratos is a literal murderer who is technically a villain, Leon is a rooky cop in re2 and fails a lot through the game, and in re9 he is trying to fix a mistake he believes is his fault, Ethan from re7 and 8, is a regular guy who struggles his entire way through, in 8 he is trying to rescue his daughter, he is not perfect but he pushes through all these characters are good and interesting because they are not bland, they are strong characters but they are not perfect, that is why people love them, and that is why people do not like most modern games with female leads, because it is not about making good games, it is about putting diversity where it should not be

  @BasedChar_RE The problem for Mass Effect is that the ending to 3 is such an ending that you can’t go forward without addressing it, and Andromeda tried the reasonable concept of avoiding it. However, BioWare screwed it up from story to just making sure the game worked.

  @Tacofridge @Swurv__ No, that’s not a fix, at that point is no longer a BIG universe with hundreds of planets. If you like small you have Outerworlds, Mass Effect, Star Wars, etc. If you want BIG you have Starfield, No Man Sky, Elite Dangerous, Long Journey Home, Starflight. Is good to have both!
