I kinda want them to keep her face tired. It's too memetic to change at this point.

if they are smart, the next game will reference this.

Was her face being tied really turned into a meme by illiterates?
---

well, a few things I've noticed:

They added keyboard shortcuts for dialogue options (they were in DA:I)



That weird blank stare thing seems to be gone

Before:



After:



There's something different about the doctor, but I can't quite put my finger on it

Did you use preset 3 to make your character, chill? You're a brave man.

That leather jacket texture looks really good.

She still have that resting bitch face.

you can now skip the galaxy map transitions, as long as the game is done loading things (you'll get a Skip prompt when that happens)

So do several of my co-workers. That is just a face. She is a bitch anyway.

Thank God. Don't know why they thought that would be fun to sit through a million times.

well, it's an improvement

So does this mean that her face is no longer tired?

yeah, the only thing that I wasn't fond of were the brows, but I've made peace with them
---

they need to make those rally courses on the asteroid planet.

im still hyped i thought of that.
---

Why is online functionality still off if they already implemented the patch

I enjoyed it the first time.

I did not enjoy it the hundredth time.

Especially that one quest where you're traveling to a bunch of solar systems after another looking for wreckages. That was just awful. <_<
---

it seems they're updating the servers, too
---

anyone know if they open up games to modders? like Nexus?

well, there's mods on the nexus for their games, but the Frostbite engine is notoriously hard to make mods for
---

I checked the Nexus the other day and basically the only files there were for FemRyder sliders
---

also, the inventory limit (with all upgrades) is a whooping 200 items

they might have well just gotten rid of it altogether, although I never carried more than 30 things at a time
---

Yay my baby Scott no longer has dead eyes

We fucked up DLC pack, 6.99!!

These are free patches, shut up
---

I wonder what the limit is without the upgrades. They seem rather superfulous at that number. Probably 100 or so.


I don't understand why they've released detailed patch notes for multiplayer balance changes, but not single player balance changes.

I checked the notes and they don't mention much about the MP changes except for naming specific bugs
---

http://blog.bioware.com/2017/04/06/patch-1-05-multiplayer-balance-updates/

there is some inconsistency with the keyboard shortcuts for dialogue: only the number 6 shows up by itself, but for every other option it shows Num X (e.g. Num 9)
---

The hydra’s sync attack is now lethal.

well, fuck
---

Wow, that's actually a pretty considerable difference. Considering how nice of an implementation that is I'm curious if it was simply bugged out or did they really have to add it in?

rip chill ryder

What's a sync attack?

AVP exp level stops showing on the menu when you reach max level. I was literally nitpicking about this to a friend the other day

I feel vindicated in my nitpickery.

When they grab you and kill you if a teammate doesn't damage them enough to free you
---

P01ntyDmonspank posted...

guessing it's one of those grab attacks that instantly kill you and can't get revived for the rest of the round (like the ascendant's bubble grab thing)

also, they noticed the Mattock sucked ass because its fire rate was slow as hell, so that's nice
---

The damage nerf for the Mattlock seems pretty substantial even with better rate of fire.

it's still better than the terrible fire rate it had (namely, way slower than "as fast as you can pull the trigger")

Why can't I give her the dick? Fix this Bioware

they buffed the Shadow's damage output but that thing still sucks

who wants a sniper rifle that forces you to stay out of cover because it fires a fucking laser beam
