I think Ryder is better looking than any of the Kardashians.
Both Andromeda Ryder and San Andreas Ryder.

The Voice Acting for Female Shep in ME2 was excellent. In fact it is better than the Male one.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you'll be able to fuck it.

Wrex' and Garrus' voice actors were all right, in ME2 I also liked Zaeed. And yeah, Jennifer Hale really elevated ME script. Mark Meer sucked in comparison.

I'm not talking about the voice acting, although it's interesting with Mass Effect how Mark Meer gradually become better. He's actually a good voice actor but they pretty much neutered him in ME1 and ME2.
You truly are a spectacle!

Biggest disappointment so far is how unspectacularly idiotic Andromeda is shaping up. Granted, ME3 and DA:I are hard to beat, but it's like BW isn't even trying anymore. Is Peebee the worst they can do nowadays? Come on. Daddy needs his Schadenfreude here.

Peebee is what they have been doing since Imoen and Aerie et al.

Okay show of hands, who thought there wouldn't be a manic pixie dream space girl in it?

I don't think any BG girl, including Imoen, is that obnoxious. But that may be for lack of content in BG, and not for lack of Bioware's will of the characters being that way.

Imoen is the template for the bioware pixie girl. Friendly reminder that the only different trend that Bioware has tried recently is open world, the rest is just typical Bio.

Imoen could have been much, much worse if she had actual dialogue beyond a few lines. Aerie is far worse, with the romance, banters and whatnot.
I already know of people who can't stand Imoen as is, and kill her outright.
It occurred to me as I was writing this, but maybe Aerie's background was a metaphor for rape victims. It takes some trauma to be that weak and cattle-willed. And yet she didn't feel an ounce of angst -she does display angst, but to the MC, not to the right people, or to the world. She has been treated like shit for most of her life, and she still remains a naive gal with good intentions. Must be an elf thing, because sure as fuck we humans aren't like that.
I think that Bioware is doing now what they couldn't do with Baldur's Gate, due to time, money and tech constraints. Namely: they're revamping their old whiney, quirky characters and expanding upon them. The task of revamping BG itself fell to a menial company like Beamdog.

That's not what I meant. Imoen triggered the first instances of BSN faggotry. The most popular mods at the time involved her being romanceable.
Also, fuck your rape analogy. Don't disrespect rape victims like that. She was mistreated but never even implied that she was raped. Consider this: if Aerie was a man, would you say she was raped? Are you a cishet pig?

No, I meant her background was a writer's (crappy) way of portraying a victim of abuse (which IRL would probably be rape or domestic violence), but putting it into a fantasy world.
That's also consistent with your allegation that Bioware has been the same Bioware all along, social justice, drama and repeated schemes over and over.
And yes, I'm aware that you're being sarcastic.

Missed that one...
I took a look to different editions. So there's standard edition going for $ 60, Deluxe edition going for $ 70 and Super Deluxe edition for $ 100. Super Deluxe has only multiplayer bonus content over deluxe edtion, 20 MP starter packs and experience boosters.
I had hopes MP might be good in sense that there might still be players when this hits the bargain bin, but that value MP content bonuses worth $ 30 doesn't look promising for MP.
Who the fuck even plays ME multiplayer?

IIRC the ME3 multiplayer was pretty populated, at least until a few months ago.

It was surprisingly good. Actually it was only good aspect of ME3.
Doesn't surprise me, it was very popular approx 18 months or so ago when I gave it a go last time.
I had hopes for MP aspect because team making ME4 is AFAIK much the same as ME3 MP team, but now I don't know. I'm sure as hell wont be paying what BW is asking on release but if they overestimate value of Mass Effect brand and make MP too grindy / expensive there might not be enough player base remaining a year or so.

Apparently Bioware doesn't realize that the best way to get players to move around the battelfield more is to *not* make a cover-based shooter.

This is false, you can make a cover third person shooter with good traversal of the environment. Lets not act like Max Payne 3 and Vanquish never came out.
Mass Effect 2 had Loyalty Missions instead of a plot. That's even worse.
