For some reason the female ryder reminds me of:
Why did they feel the need to take the original model for her and change her face so drastically??? Makes no sense, especially considering they didn't do that in the previous ME games when they based a character on a real human model.

What about this?
Ryder's proportions and detail are a mess compared to Shepard.
We are really pushing the limit on tearing into this game, huh?
Nevertheless, this game for me has been a bumpy road of ups and downs. Seeing both good things to like and things that make me very skeptical. We still haven't seen anything substantial on the dialogue interaction with NPCs...
It would definitely be wise to wait this one out and see how reviews and impressions turn out and decide from there.
Yeah, it is buggy. In an odd way. Usually it works fine, but when it glitches, it gets weird. I had one game just a few days ago where i saw only one person out of four. Enemies just died from my point of view, i got revived by ghosts, etc. Occasionally names of other players would be visible in the message section but that's all.

Nothing like Banshee vacuum pull on last round. Pretty awesome while you watch your friend get stabbed in the gut and then tell em you had no rockets (but you totally did have 1 left lol)
I remember invisible banshees but not vacuum pulls. The situation i described was probably some kind of P2P networking sync issue. Next match with the same people was extremely laggy.
Other players are buggy at times though, i swear the AI is smarter than some people, even though the AI follows very strict patterns most of time...

Nah people have agendas to push. They did the same with Fallout 4. There was a gif with a clipboard that attached to a guys arm after his dialogue ended, but you could only see it if a glitch happened, and people were posting it as non-ironic evidence that the game was shit. Context doesn't matter to some people.

I plan to play 10 hours of MP leading up to launch with EA access. Disappointed, but still have high hopes noting the SP combat videos which have looked good.
Literally every single thing that hear or see from this game is screaming at me to abandon all hope of it being any good. I loved Mass Effect 1 so much this whole marketing cycle leading up to release for ME:A has just been totally depressing; a comedy of errors and mismanagement in the worst way.

The face wss fine... the problem was rhat her head did not mesh well with that "perfect body" oh hers a looked kind of creepy sometimes.What else do people expect from Bioware?
Another example would be the "official face" of FemShep in ME3... just horrible.

Seemed kind of obvious with the imminent release date and the lack of information about this test.

Going to assume it's bland as fuck because they don't want to spoil anything, but jesus that's a lot of humans.

How should I know? We've had a theory that the original animation was for male Ryder with slightly longer arms and therefore the female model didn't connect and they didn't bother fixing it because it's essentially unnoticeable.

I'd just like to point out that it is a pile of player created characters and that a lot of them are just duplicated classes with different customized faces. Note the scroll bar on the left. Definitely not all there is.
RecRoulette

Ah okay, didn't know you could have duplicate characters of the same class. That seems redundant, but okay.
Interesting.
A lot of humans because there's at least two per class (male, female, all 6 classes). All asari are biotics so they're not going to be representing non-biotic classes (DLC is another matter, like how ME3 MP has asari infiltrator with biotics!).
Note not all characters are shown, more below.
I'd assume 24 characters at start (12 humans, 12 aliens), more in DLC. EDIT This would be same as ME3 MP at launch, IIRC.
Either you get redundancy or you get whining about how there are no female or male options for some. Much less whining with redundancy.
Also allows for having two different builds with same skill sets at once.
10h playtime total, all features. At least, that's what i recall reading.

but then
Sans makeup and a different angle makes it a bit hard to judge to be honest. The nose and mouth are pretty close. Hard to tell with the eyes, though again, no make up. The details are there.
Yes, a demo/beta a few weeks before launch.

Perfect lighting and makeup on the model, unflattering angle on the game face.
Here's a more flattering shot of the scanned model.
And the same under different lighting conditions.
It's pretty annoying that we're even having this discussion though. This argument about whether or not the real-life model scanned was given a fair shake by Bioware and the associated pictures everyone keeps posting are an offshoot of the extremely gross discussion going on in other parts of the internet about whether or not there are any hot females in the game and whether or not Bioware is making these ladies deliberately ugly to push "the SJW agenda".

Yeah, I just meant them having two separate slots on the menu. It just seems really crowded.

This is pretty weird and a tad worrying. Multiplayer Betas have become one of the best marketing tools this generation and you've gotta wonder about the quality if they aren't willing to put it out there after originally planning on it
Sub_Level
wants to fuck an Asian grill.
This plus the fact that its just common classes.
Brown = Common
Silver = Uncommon
Gold = Rare
And probably Black = Ultra Rare
So the cool unique stuff will have Gold and Black circles on their portraits.
Speaking of rare and ultra rare MP characters...
Can i have my (Awakened) Collector Adept again? This time with yellow glow of Harbinger rather than that Prothean green.
No, it does not make any sense in the context of Andromeda but i would argue hammer-armed krogans and humans with glowing kite-shields in a futuristic battlefield don't make either so whatever.
EDIT Not asking if it is in the game. More like "BioWare plz, why the fuck not?"

I hope there's still Drell multiplayer characters.

man what justification could you ever give for cancelling a MP tech test...
Does it?

It just seems like a bad animation in this specific case, something bioware are known for often having here and there.

I wouldn't worry about multiplayer based on this cancelation. It is kind of a bummer though. From what I've heard isn't the team making this game the same team that created the mass effect 3 multiplayer? You would think with the same team they should be able to build off of the success of their previous work. I remain optimistic.

He chose the most unflattering pic of femshep he could find. The model is also wearing makeup, being photographed by a pro photographer, and probably photoshoped. Anyway you can make your own character.

The character model looks like a goddamn frog. It doesn't matter what screen you grab.

The games already pre loading on my Xbox so I don't think it's gonna get a last second delay.

Swing and a miss.
wow.
The scene itself is bad. People were defending some of bioware design choices by saying the Ryder's aren't soldiers and only have basic training. Thats fine, nothing wrong with that and has a lot of potential to it. Then we have those awful scenes which are pushing for the "Ryder's are badass" mentality. I don't know what Ryder is supposed to be anymore

So many quoting this.. from a game where you can throw biotics punches and other attacks where you don't actually need to make physical contact... you can clearly see the slight effect outside of her entire arm here. Could just be a super toned down biotics punch; that was my first reaction to seeing it anyways.
