I dont know the exact details but they said that they did away with that to make things more realistic in that choices are not obviously good or bad.

Why? Just because of a simple binary good vs evil dynamic?

It has indeed been removed, but has been replaced by another system. Rather than good vs evil it focuses on emotional, logical, casual, and professional. Additional conversation tones in specific situations are sarcastic, obedient, or skeptical, there may be more. Ultimately it forms a sort of psychological profile that affects reactions towards you... See here;

The game is tracking under the hood how much you've chosen those different options, and we build a little psych profile for you based on that. Now it's not that everybody you walk up to is like 'you're that guy that's always joking!' But it may come up in conversation, and particularly specific things you've chosen over the course of the game, may come back to haunt you in either a good way or a bad way.

your actions will obviously have consequences to the story, but so will how you shape your personality.

This is for the better. There is nothing more annoying than changing the decision you really would want to pick in the game because you're worried about collecting certain conversation points. For example, needing enough Paragon points to resolve a certain conflict... Like in ME2.

i see your point but it's too complicated. i want to replay the game only twice..save the universe route while saving everyone or murder everyone who stand in my way and still save the universe. i'll wait for the review

i'm just gonna miss the paragon/renegade interrupts. Those were the best.

 

[UpSideDownGRUNT]

Interrupts are still there though, they're just not outright THIS IS THE GOOD/BAD OPTION like in previous games.

4 times. Twice per character.

 

[DestructionBomb]

Well we are almost there.

Indeed. Rather than seeing a Paragon or Renegade icon with no real clue about what's going to happen, it will tell you specifically what the interrupt will do.

An interesting look at the the first 2 games (I'm guessing some have already seen this but its still worth checking out):

 

[Argentus]

FINALLY something about the exploration instead of combat!

 

[NightAntilli]

The first 13 minutes... Obviously you'll see the beginning of the game, but not enough is shown to consider them actual spoilers, in my opinion...

Game looks good... At the end of the video I was left wanting to see more, so... That's a good thing.

 

[NightAntilli]

New brief;

 

[deathofaninja]

New brief;

This is looking to be one of the best years in games.

 

[UpSideDownGRUNT]

Andromeda is really shaping up, it's gone from being vaguely interesting to one of the games I'm actually excited for this year.

 

[NightAntilli]

Today was the last day to sign up for the free Origin Access 7 Day trial. So that means that I get to play Mass Effect Andromeda next weekend for free ^_^

And for the ones that missed it, Quarians confirmed in that last briefing video.

On another note;
