Read on for her thoughts on new players, whether or not the demo was a success, and how much player feedback is taken on board. We even sneak in a question about Origin.

If that is what you want to take away from it, so be it.

Perception is a wonderful thing

That's funny... because I certainly did not read it like that whatsoever.

[Mr Messy]

Well it’s an EA developed platform, so it makes sense it would be the best platform to distribute EA published games.

You'd think, but you'd be wrong.

+1 in lieu of my previous post

that said, still hanging out for this - been loving the co-op horde mode effort in the demo.

How do you gather that? I cant recall ever being forced into any relationship in Bioware games... Stop hitting on the guys if you don't want them to reciprocate

[Bluefire]

Bricks and mortar + GCW (google it) and screw their dlc.

LOL u must not of played many of there games..

AND me3 isnt out yet.. but from what they said officially it looks like itll be another dragon age 2 x 10 with gay stuff..

hope not...

[Tim Colwill]

I've played literally every BioWare game in the last... seven or eight years, and never been "forced" into a gay romance. What are you even talking about?

[DarkMellie]

Be careful dude, I've heard that every time you type the word 'gay' on the internet a Government-programmed nanobot in your keyboard samples your skincells and immediately adds your DNA to the sex-offenders watchlist.

OH GOD, THEY'RE NOW COMING FOR ME TOO.

A big part of DA2 criticism was that it went too far to action from story.

ME was always more action oriented than DA, so I don't see how it can 'become' DA2.

[a3gis]

i actually TRIED to shag several of the crew in ME2 (having been told great things of course) - but no matter what I did, Ms Shepard just wasn't up to the task! (think my relationship jutsu must be at an all time low)

[Marius]

The answer to the Origin question was completely predictable. The answer given didn't actually match the question asked - it said it was the best way to deliver DLC rather than touching on any specifics of differences between the services. That's the reason I was saying in the questions thread that it was a pointless question.

[TRB]

I hope the 'crafting' system has been changed, it was bad in ME2 and worse in ME1.
but I liked the ME 1 inventory and the mako way better.

also the 'heat clip' thing is just stupid and makes no sense at all.
but I know fromt he demo thats still in =/

I much rather the over heat system, it makes way more sense for an energy weapon.
there is no reason to throw a heatsink out.
At worst you'd switch it out for a spare and then switch it back in once its cooled and the spare is hot.
HMG gunners didn't throw a hot barrel away, they just swapped it out for a cool one then swapped it back in when needed.
