I thought my Shepard looked awesome until he was in actual game lighting and turned to one side. Oh god, kill it with fire.
I lived with his ugly ass until ME2, where I fixed him somewhat but by that point he'd kind of grown on me.

It's mostly the lighting, I think. Dragon Age: Inquisition was really bad about this because you make your character in this weird chaotic void, and then normal lighting makes them look all weird; like, "oh that really DOES stick out a lot."

You'd think by now they would have lighting options in the CC.

That exact thing happened to me.
Plus once the face starts animating it can look even more weird so what you designed can be extra fucked up if you did something a bit too much with the facial structure.
Yeah Bioware games have some harsh fucking lighting. Wish the character creator had multiple environments and maybe emotes you can cycle through. My Ryder looks awful whenever she scrunches her face up, which is like 90% of the time in this game.

FFXIV is oddly great about this. You can see your character in, like, five different locations with different times of day. (etheral void, bright field, dark night, sunset, etc. Everything!) Also they can take different poses.
The character creation in general in FFXIV is amazing. You can even save your generated characters. Plus all the races look really distinct. I mean yeah, you get covered up in armour instantly, but it all looks really stylish and nice.
...I should really dig into FFXIV's extended trial some time.
Dragon's Dogma and Sunset Overdrive come to mind
Surprisingly, Wildlands' character creator is alright too

Oh, Dragon's Dogma. That's definitely the winner. Saint's Row 3-4 are close, but appearance has no bearing on how you play which drags it down a bit; also everything is weirdly samey.
Then it's probably the Sims 3-4, with Bioware games at the back of the pack.
Can't really think of any other games that use sliders so intricately.
I mean... do the parts ever really change?
Yeah, I liked the two planets that open up after this first one a lot more

I still haven't heard anyone explain what "my face is tired" is supposed to mean.
That same lady was also talking about how people's faces were hungry so maybe that's just a future thing.
And yeah all the dialogue is bad.

God Fast & Furious 6 is so good! I'd forgotten how amazing that entire ending scene is!

So she's just way into faces? Is that why she has clown makeup?

The menus in general are teeeerrible.
In multiplayer, if your mouse is hovering over the menu items on the right side, the V key will show your loadout. If you're hovering over anyone in the lobby, however, V will vote to kick them.
It's like they had the vaguest idea of a playful character, and just had zero idea how to write that.

One is a hold for X seconds prompt and the other is a tap. I don't really see the issue, unless you're just randomly holding buttons for fun

Dan's glee at fast 6 is so worth the price of admission
You don't put an option that is immediate on the same button as an option that potentially makes you lose your spot (and requires lengthy hoop jumping). The least they could do is a confirmation dialogue box "Do you want to return to the Tempest? Yes/No".
idk they're two different buttons on the keyboard!
boy giant bomb is pretty good at video games
But not on controller.
Bioware was always terrible at control schemes. They always fuck up one of them.
very true, I remember dealing with some terrible control issues during ME2 on M+KB.

It finally led to armed rebellion. When order was restored, the insurgents were banished. "Exiles," we called them.
In the battle against The Enemy, Proper Nouns were the first casualty. But they were not the last. We call this, "the War."
But for real, the dude that wrote Andromeda worked on a Halo game right? My face can't. It continually, eternally can't.

They've run into a mission-stopping bug.
To be fair, that isn't hard to do in this game.
