Lol, I meant don't judge me for drooling at the mere mention of the weapon known as Cain. Can a weapon be a romance option?
Anywhooo...
What you said sounds pretty solid... but I am hoping you could attempt to explain more/be more specific in your example regarding the reporter and being interviewed and using different profiles in that situation.
Ah, yes, fetiches are ... that way! *points vaguely at the far distance* ^_^
The reporter idea would gravitate in a way similar to that we had in ME 3. Small asset fluctuations would happen depending on how she deal with the news from the Normandy.
For this Nexus setting, we would need supplementary information and background tasks to allow our performance to work. The game would feel ... layered, actually. It would require a lot of work. Each profile would prompt and flare out different interests to your point of view. Although a good amount of the content would be clear and noticed by all profile altogether. Just a sort of refining, filtered things would stand out depending on your profile.
Example: Reporter, or even Thann, Addison, Kesh; someone comes to Ryder and reports that supplies to Eos have been slowly lately. It would be just a comment.
Profiled as a soldier would make Ryder alert to security things around the Nexus. Ryger would pass by a certain place, where folk was chatting and Ryder wouldn't listen anything interesting. However, if he had passed that place as an Engineer, bits of interest on their conversation would arise, and then Ryder would have noticed they where talking about lost of tracking coordinates when fixing panels, etc. That information would then be explained to the person who commented about the supply problem, triggering bits of interactive conversation. It would not be a direct interference, but just the knowledge Ryder has would help them solve the issue.
The reporter could come to Ryder saying biotic people were asking about harnessing the Scourge in a similar way. Ryder would have to have some experience, as a biotic profile, at touching the Scourge or something like that, to give her his heads up. Depending on the answer, some research or special blueprint could be provided to Ryder later, or improve something on the arks, the list goes on.
Is this what you wanted to know?
P.S.: These things would be related to the idea discussed around other profiles in the other thread.
