Considering that the Frostbite engines are so well optimized that you can run those games on toasters I assume you can run it well even on a lesser than minimum rig.

Which is why it's surprising the console versions are frame limit locked.

Also, missed this earlier, but...

Mass Effect: Andromeda has gone Gold.

Well that does it, I need a new PC if my cpu can't even reach the minimum spec anymore

Looks like we may get a degree of base building afterall:

[PCGamesN] Realising the space opera: we go hands-on with Mass Effect: Andromeda

That’s not to say some quests don’t have a bit of formula in common. While driving around, I trigger the ‘settling Kadara’ quest, in which I have to solve various problems to render the planet habitable. First up is taking care of its toxic groundwater, then settling a dispute between two local warring factions (both of which you can, apparently, join, but Condominas politely declined to provide more details). Finally, I have to stabilise the environment by resetting the local Remnant Vault - more on that in a sec.

All these jobs increase Kadara’s ‘viability’, and my goal is to reach 40%, at which point I can build an outpost at a designated site. Some settlements will be part of the game’s critical path - that is, you’ll need to finish some settling quests to advance the plot - while the incentive to complete optional ones is, essentially, more resources: you can designate a specialism for each outpost, so mining outposts might give a steady trickle of crafting materials, while research outposts might give research data. Condominas says the quest to raise viability depends on each planet's problems, so like The Witcher III’s monster hunts, the goal and the reward are approximately known, but the particulars will vary.

Other tidbits from this article:

Training Backgrounds that can be selected during character creation put points into two pre-selected abilities for immediate use, e.g. "Scrapper" will unlock Biotic Charge and Combat Fitness, while "Leader" will start off with Energy Drain and Team Support.
Scanning objects in the environment grants "Research Data" (RD) for use in unlocking or researching new blueprints for crafting.
Augments are additions that can be installed on the gun during crafting, while mods are stuff you can add to the gun once it's built, i.e. attachments.
You can built a laser Black Widow (and the normal Widow makes a return).
There's a sudoku-like minigame involving Remnant tech.

Sarah at 0:12 looks kinda weird. Is it cos of the gravity in that pod or some shiet?

ImperialKnight · 2017-02-28, 19:24

So let me see if this is correct....

Milky Way sends several races to colonize the Andromeda Galaxy and encounters hostiles...doesn't that make "us" the invaders?

Class and race are still inseparable it seems.
Oh, I hope something akin to the N7-Destroyer class returns, I had so much fun with him (And yes, I see one that looks a little like him).
Heck, I hope all the N7 classes return in some form, they looked awesome.

The Andromeda MP system is pretty much identical to the ME3 system though, right down to having male and female stock human characters with the same abilities.

It's also funny how the image they displayed for the Merchants pods has a Krogan to represent it.

Also, the first 13 minutes of Andromeda's gameplay (obvious spoilers):

Multiplayer APEX Missions

Sorry; dynamic content not loaded. Reload?

So these are the special MP missions you can play that has modifiers to make the game more challenging. These particular missions aware "Mission Funds", which you can use to purchase multiplayer items and weapons directly from an ingame store.

MP will also offer SP rewards in the form of "Pathfinder Rewards", which will grant lootboxes you can use for the SP game.
