Things may have changed in the way you approach shielded and armored targets, but there are still plenty of options for combos... Unless you're talking about a multiplayer Adept I haven't seen yet?
I didn't see this live, but moments like that would give some real charm and life to the characters. I actually like Liam a bit more already. Also, the launch trailer was better than I thought it'd be based off the comments. Really my only remaining gripes are some of the animations and the hair textures looking like DA:I's.

That was pretty funny. What they showed was funnier than than what I would have expected.

The humor in that mission felt way more natural than anything Bioware has done before.
Yup don't preorder or day-one unless you're a hardcore fan.i just finished listening to podcast beyond and Alanah Pearce who played a preview of the game said this "game is buggy as hell, aside from assassins creed unity is the single buggiest game ive ever previewed", jesus, that's not good

Ugh.
Well that'll be fun to deal with. I hope the ctds are minimal >_<

Liam's definitely going to be a bro I bring with me everywhere.
That build was pre-patch. They've since squashed thousands of bugs. There's a 2GB day one patch that addresses most of the issues.i just finished listening to podcast beyond and Alanah Pearce who played a preview of the game said this "game is buggy as hell, aside from assassins creed unity is the single buggiest game ive ever previewed", jesus, that's not good

but she did preview it contrary to Unity which was too buggy for her.
Hopefully it won't be too bad. I was able to still enjoy Unity
Of course I haven't seen the powers for all the MP classes and a better primer/detonator loadout class may yet appear (and remember that the, e.g. asari justicar reave/bubble combo was a free ME3 post release DLC), but what the reddit googledocs info reveals is a weak MP biotics lineup.
Also, the list above shows a very weak biotics playstyle. Three potential primers, one of which is a pbaoe with a small radius and a negative effect on power cool downs. They seem to moving more toward the biotics as a space magic fireball playsyle. Biotics and combos work best (and sometimes only work at all) on unarmored, unshielded targets. That was a problem in ME2. If i have to use a gun to take down your shields or armor before I can use biotics, why don't I just finish you off (more quickly even) with that gun?
Oops. Just saw that i missed "pull" in the list. That power does help the lineup, but again it only works on unshielded, unarmored targets.

Good to know! Thanks for the information~
Talk about a 'nope' moment. I love it.
Brilliant, this'll be the new NOPE gif people use.

I love Pokken!
Combat looks like will be the best in the series. I just hope those combo notifications can be turned off.

So you cannot customize your MP character's looks?
I was watching the stream of Liam's loyalty mission. I know that it's been said before, but good lord, those facial animations are awful. Bradley's is particularly dire.
That said, Cora has some pretty solid VA and what looks like the workings of a developed personality, and the core shooting looks pretty good once you get past the jank.

Body as in I can increase the length of the character legs and such or you mean just color of the armor?

Just colors. Customization seems to be 1:1 with ME3's MP.

You haven't played Citadel yet?
Metroidvania
People called Romanes they go the house?
To be fair, it is possible that it's just an odd looking pistol....but going off of the no muzzle and such, I'm inclined to agree with your assessment.
That being said, while I did notice something slightly odd, I didn't full-on notice on the first view.
Look at the two guns.
Look at them again.
If you still aren't sure what's happening.
Pellesaria B'Sayle is holding her gun backwards.
Looks to me she is symbolically handing her pistol to Ryder. Perhaps this is where you meet her and she signs up to join you.
Unity had a large day one patch as well so... Yeah...
As usual, don't pre-order games and wait for impressions from the day one patch that "fixes" all the issues.
Oh my god. Maybe it's a futuristic gun that can fire from both sides? lol

They should put Mass Effect 1-3 companions in limited edition loot boxes for multiplayer they'd get so much money the bank would crash.

Now that's how you troll someone
There are turians. Vetra is our female turian squadmate. Garrus is dead
What?? Did he died in ME3 , (I am forgetting the Game , that's why i started a new playthrough just two days ago)
Or In between 3 and Andromeda??

Turians are in the game and you have one as a squadmate (Vetra). Garrus won't be, since this takes place 600 years after the trilogy and is set in a different galaxy.
The game takes place in the Andromeda galaxy. The trip takes 634 years. They start traveling two years before mass effect 3.
Ah , why i am thinking like the ME 3 just happened twenty years before ME:A, maybe its because i am replaying the old games and want to keep intact my old squadmates.
Foolish of me, Thanks for helping out.
Brain fart here on my end. Thanks for clearing up!!

On the plus side Liara is probably a Matriarch by now nearing 800 years.
I just thought every others alien race,other than humans, lives atleast 1000 years lol, what am i thinking??
Must have confused with the Asaris.
