I don't get why people are trying to blame EA.
Look if you get an assignment deadline and then fail to have your project completed by that deadline, how is it your boss/tutor/professor's fault?
You had the time to get it done but failed to have a working cohesive product in time. That isn't EA's fault, it's Bioware's.
Now if it is parts of the game were removed to become DLC at a later time... That is EA.
Bad writing for the story plot and character interactions/romances etc that is Bioware.
Poor graphically done hair since the days of Dragon Age Origin... Bioware again.
Budget to get resources for the game... EA/Bioware.
And yes we are all suffering a buggy somewhat broken game on release, but this should not be considered normal or acceptable just because it has become a trend, otherwise there is no point in buying games on release anymore period if all we will get is a broken half made product. Maybe then dev's and producers will notice us and understand that quality is what we want.
And inb4someonesaysit Even IF all bugs are fixed in this game.... We will still have a generic plot, poor character interactions, bad romances written and wasted potential. It is basically like the infamous ME3 ending. No matter what patches and updates come, we are still stuck with the same story.
I want to see an improvement in that actual game alongside the patches. IMHO Bioware has dropped the ball since ME2, DA2/ME3/DAI were all bad for various reasons and suffered bad writing. Sometimes dialogue choices don't even make sense and for the two choices we get it feels like sometimes they basically say the same thing but just in a different approach.
I want Bioware to be great again but I feel like they are getting too used to cutting corners and releasing games that have subpar elements to it. I wanted this to rival Witcher 3, but it seems no game will in the near future.

On the romances: it works like in the first three games: you can tell that some romances are more worked on and seem to have more impact than others. In the first games it was basically Liara, you could tell that was the romance they wanted you to choose, and in this one it's Peebee, Cora and maybe Jaal. At least it's three instead of one. The others feel like secondary options just like in the original games.
Liam should not be a "side" romance. At all.
Kaidan got a great romance in Mass Effect, as did Garrus.
Andromeda promosed plenty of "banging" and only what? Three characters got sex scenes in the entire game?
In the original games they all got a sex scene. This just feels lazy and undone. Sara Ryder should have at least one decent human male option. Which should probably be Liam since he is the only one who counts towards the achievement. They give us the first decent dark male romance option who isn't a cheater like Jacob, and then slap us in the face with a terrible incomplete romance. The character overall is amazing, the romance is so poor that its barely a romance at all.
All of the romances in the original, even the side romances had better sexy scenes and build up than this game has. I know they can do so much better.
First of all BW should patch all the bugs that makes the game unplayable for a lot of pleople (thankfully I haven't run into one - yet). And what I would love to see is an improved Menu. It drives me nuts the way it is now. Click here, search there, menu, submenues - never had something so confusing in a BW game before. I even have to check the completed quests when I want to get rid of the quest marks and my "Click X to mark as read" not working anymore. Please consider an improve.
After that - the romances. Well, sometimes I get the impression (and don't get me wrong, I love BW games) there is this thinking: Ok, let's make the straight male happy first. Give them a good romance and well, also enough f/f options because a lot of them love to see that, too. And this way the f/f faction is happy as well. Don't forget the m/m - oh wait, we did... but we'll correct that, promise!
But wait, wasn't there another faction? Hmm, who could that be?....... Ah yes, the straight females... but hey, most of the time we don't hear that much complains so they seem to be happy with whatever we give them. A Kaidan that get's magically bi in ME 3, an adorable Thane who, well... dies (and has no "real" sex" scene ). A Jacob who is an - sorry - a... ole. A great Garrus - thankfully even without a real "sex" scene. But well, the girls seems to be happy with it, they seem to be happy even without some "nice straight sex" or a well made romance at all. Four options, two of them human but either not straight or a looser. Two aliens (and no, I have nothing against alien romance but well, one of it dies and/or is in the "no sexy scene" cathegory). And now in ME:A? Wow... just one, Jaal. And who would have guessed? Again a alien... And somehow I got the impression you have problems to show naked men with all the "necessary assets". Why so? It seems not to bother you when it comes to the girls.
Please BW - don't pretent we do not exist. And we aren't a "negligible" faction that needs no attention. We want our piece of "cake", too. Even if there is just Liam - at least we want a adequate romance like for example the straight male Cora romance. Even if we have to wait two months for it.
Thank you.
When new update 1.05 Will Be Available to download in which Time Zone ??
Will the patch be released for PC too? I read it's only for xbox and ps4 today. At what hour will it be available?
- For some reason my posts keep getting removed so i will keep it very simple. The hair has not graphically improved since Dragon Age origins, it has only gained more shine and not texture. And even if all the patches fix the bugs, we are still left with a generic plot and poorly written romances and character interactions. stop it Bioware please. You have dropped the ball since ME2 and don't seem to be picking it back up at all. Stop cutting corners and giving subpar elements in your games!
8:00am PT (4:00pm UK) is when they do the patch.

Thank you.
I don't even need to see below the belt, or even a naked butt as nice as that would be - but a sex scene and a couple of actual steamy kisses along the way, that would be nice. At least sexy it up a bit !
That ugly couch kiss that faded to black, just was not sexy. At all.
Ryder has lovely quarters, use them.
Theres an entire ship with plenty of corners for a random steamy kiss. Or a bunch of lovely planets.
As I said. If you don't take thst early, off screen sex scene with Liam, the one on the ugly dirty couch that fades to black. The one that could even possibly just be a one night stand. The one thats an interrupt even. You don't even get a kiss with Liam before he is talking about getting serious, all you get is a forehead touch. Your serious long before that final romance scene you have to go back to Eos for, before you finally see a kiss and thats it. Thats all you get,
Its horrible for a supposed serious romance. He even mentions marriage and setting down, like gee Liam hows about a couple of kisses and sex first so it feels more than just a close friendship hrm??
Why do straight females always get over looked, or get the bad romances like Jacob or Thane?
It's just not right.
We game to.
Not saying that the m/m didn’t need improvements as well. They certainly do and get over looked a lot as well. Just saying they aren't the only ones who get over looked a lot when it comes to char romances. Straight females do too.
patch is up, PC origin 1.11 gb
Just click on update game.updated, multiplayer still offline, any idea when it's due to come back up?
I was getting my gold groove on 🙂
