The music didn't really sound much in the twitter preview, but hearing it in the full trailer it actually fits if you consider it as Ryder's theme song.
And while I still think ME2's launch trailer was still the most epic of the Mass Effect launch trailers, this comes in at second place in my eyes.

I'm gonna have to watch it again to get some points, but that was a rather informative PAX East livestream of Mass Effect Andromeda, which showed off one of the very early missions:
- The transition between planets and systems really is seamless, and looks a whole lot better than the repetitive Mass Relay cutscenes we got in the trilogy. - The level they went to was quite large, bigger than most maps in 2 and 3, without being as lifeless as the expanses in 1, and that was just the initial starting area. - Ledge grabs were confirmed before, but seeing it in action alongside the jet pack was nice. - Ryder isn't hydrophobic unlike Shepard, aka WE CAN GO ON WATER NOW! - You can jump up to and walk on top of the Tempest - Credits only matter on the Nexus, in most other places trading is done via salvage. - You get 3 skill points per level up it seems. - You can choose to bully the local fauna XD - There was a major spoiler in that particular livestream. There wasn't much combat in the stream, only 4 short skirmishes in the span of the entire hour, but I like that they look to be fulfilling the exploration aspect of the game in spades with the more expansive areas, scanning, and other stuff we can do in just the first starting area alone. It really reinforces that this is an RPG and not just a shooter. Also, here's the recording of the livestream starting from the appropriate timestamp (SPOILER WARNING!)

Gameplay stream featuring Liam's loyalty mission (SPOILERS!)
This vid has the best representation of all the improvements they managed to do with the Frostbite engine, as well as how much they've expanded on the combat and squad banter, which actually has kind of a Guardians of the Galaxy-esque quality to it.

Yea they keep screwing up too. With broken arm motion. STILL Reusing awful animations from Dragon Age and Mass Effect 1.
I'll skip on this, the crew all look awful and uninteresting and if Dragon Age Inquisition was any clue, my hunch is right.

Don't really see how this is a problem - Haven't really played Dragon Age, but having played three games worth of Mass Effect with more or less similar animations and I simply can't see what's wrong with them keeping them. And I didn't really notice the main animations being bad in the gameplay videos they showed, and I am staying clear of any repetitive discussions about facial animations.

Everything I've been seeing about this is makes me excited to play it especially in the gameplay and combat department, and it's looking to improve upon the elements that Mass Effect 1 had - the large-map exploration, crafting systems etc. - that ME2 and ME3 cut out entirely. I'm not letting a little animation niggles stop me from enjoying that.

As example https://twitter.com/_watsu/status/840267175193661440 Before they add in garbage level of Multiplayer with VERY LIKELY Micro transactions. Maybe they should spend some money on Animation Classes.

Given that Andromeda's multiplayer is going to be extremely similar to ME3 but now with ways to mitigate the microtransaction aspect, and I rather object to it being called "garbage". Hell, as much as I want there to be no microtransactions, if having them means that we can get free multiplayer DLC like they did in ME3, then it's a sin I'll gladly accept.

I get it, you just can't see how crap Bioware has become.
But atleast know, some of their developers are happy when white people get killed in games, like Manveer Heir. You're welcome to go and buy it, anyone calling ME3's Multiplayer the bes online multiplayer experience is certainly not gonna have their opinion changed.

All that matters is that when I play their games, I enjoy it, and I certainly do if my replaying the original Mass Effect trilogy recently means anything.
