The facial animations and dialog are so immersion breaking. TW3 came out 2 fucking years prior, and had these problems solved. I don't even get how a big studio like BioDerp can afford to push out shit like this.
It's because they are almost certainly still using more or less the same production pipeline they have used since the development of Eclipse (DA Origins) in the mid-2000s. The switch to Frostbite would have been the time to gut everything and start again, but it was clear from Inquisition that didn't happen. They are probably still using the same old version of FaceFX from a decade ago.
I actually thought KOTOR at the time of release was pretty good at facial animations, it seems like they haven't gotten anywhere since then, perhaps even a step back Well what can you expect, it's only been 14 years since then...
I'd like to see a twist... sleep with alien, find your genitals have turned bright blue. Realise you just got STI'd, and need to find a cure. Unfortunately, this cure is only available from one of the parents of the alien, and they believe in their own culture, which involves mating for life with whoever they have intimate genital relations with. Somehow you have to get the female alien mother to agree to perform oral sex on you, as what passes for their saliva contains the specific antiviral agent needed to cure your STI.
Bioware just simply needs to hire me.

I'd write you a glowing letter of recommendation on the spot - unfortunately I don't think it'd mean much from a bum like me!

God dammit, i still want to play the game. The past videos did show some cool stuff that hyped me but some of the other stuff is worrying. Man, I just want this game to be good cuz its a new ME and i love the universe.

You're responsible for providing a link to, according to you, a site that might put your potential customers at risk. If you can't guarantee the content of a site and you're sending all of your plebs there, that's highly irresponsible of you EA. Shame on you. SHAME. Can we sue?
Meanwhile Nvidia recommends the same hardware for 1080p/60:
The question now is, is EA or Nvidia trolling?

Mass Effect Andromeda has a trophy/achievement for romancing three people Bang on

There's some space stuff in Mass Effect games, but let's be clear: real fans know it's all about one thing.
Yep, that.
In previous games, BioWare included a trophy/achievement for, ahem, "completing a romance". In Mass Effect Andromeda, the developer has kicked things up a gear.
Andromeda's trophy/achievement list has now leaked (thanks, Exophase) and it contains an award for not one but three romances. Ryder, you horndog.
To be fair, "Matchmaker" does not state you need to cosy up with three characters in one playthrough (or at the same time). All of your playthroughs count.
But BioWare has previously hinted at relationships in Andromeda being more natural - some people want long-term things, some people want flings. And this may be a sign you don't need to be faithful... if that's what you're into.

It really is quite amazing (and hilariously sad), if we exclude the more advanced shaders and less blocky models, we still have faces with only the lips being "animated" and the rest of the emotions (well, what's left of them) conveyed through cheap gestures. Actually, KOTOR had moving eyebrows as well, which the above face doesn't have. Progress

Do it anyway and I can frame it and put it on my wall.

The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t always spoil the good things and make them unimportant.
