Biotics available in game
I haven't seen this mentioned, but I was curious who else is disappointed about going from being able to use up to seven or eight biotic powers to only being able to have three? They dumbed down wha...

I do wish we could equip more than 3 powers at once. Its pretty lame to be so limited.

If they addressed this shortsightedness, they would most likely say 'but we gave you multiple profiles instead.' Of course, that's nice, but why take things away at the same time? Especially something that was such a big part of the game. Sort of like they took away the immersion by phoning in the plot and read dialogue.

I can tell you exactly why. Because you can't navigate 10 hotkeys from a console gamepad and it's obvious they completely ignored kb&m input during development.

It's because they changed it up from the last games. Remember, they were on console and not just PC.

What is your meaning? The last games had functional kb&m interfaces. This one does not. It was designed from the ground up for a controller and keyboard support was slapped on without any regard for making sense.
You don't even need to be an insider to see that. Just open your map screen. There is a button to "SET A WAYPOINT" ... like ... you point your mouse where you wanna set it and then you click the button ... yeah that ain't working, because it's meant to be used with a thumbstick to aim and a controller button to press. The only possible way to use this feature while plaing with kb/m is by using the keyboard shortcut, but then why is it a clickable button in the first place. Or maybe BW developers think PC gamers use two mice now, one for aiming and one for clicking. XD
There are many examples of this obvious gamepad design. For instance the multiplayer menus with the buttons at the bottom that keep changing positions, or in singleplayer when you wanna remove mods from a weapon without unequipping it you can't do it with the mouse either. Or moving your cursor when scanning a planet, wich is obviously designed for an analog stick (other games offer a hold-button-and-drag mechanic for this kind of movement and mouse interface).
