(More) Things I want in Mass Effect 4

No real news is forthcoming, but here's an update on my wishlist.


Original list, with explanations in the link:

  • To play as a mercenary
  • To play as an alien
  • Proper muscles on female characters
  • Batarian squadmate
  • Biotic subplot
  • Straight love interests
  • Alignment-based love interests
  • Weapons and Armor basically unchanged from 3, but tweak/nerf "set" armor
  • Scars
  • Not having to make story decisions based on squadmates' usefulness
  • Proper playtesting
  • Unique bosses
Addenda:
  • To be seen holding my current weapon in cutscenes
  • To holster weapons properly in cutscenes
  • For characters's fingers to actually map properly to their weapons
  • To be able to skip cutscenes/dialogue (2 did this right; 3 was a major backslide)
  • Noncosmetic rewards for beating the game on higher difficulties (e.g. better weapons)
  • Either the PC or a squadmate who's fresh out of boot camp
  • To actually get in trouble with my superiors
  • To slam an asteroid into something in the DLC (ME3 dropped the ball. It was tradition, man!)
  • A mission lifted directly from Starship Troopers and/or Aliens.
  • Absolutely no Blasto the First Hanar Spectre/Elcor Hamlet jokes; they've been done.
  • To have more non-PC squadmates/characters. I don't mean Jack, I mean people who use the terms "pureblood" or "suit-rat" regularly.
  • Don't touch the combat/power system. It is much better in 3 than in the first two games.
  • One "hub." I don't like getting in and out of the Normandy trying to track down items in various stores.
  • Better casual uniforms. Just look at the mods, people.
  • The same protagonist in all three games (this is Mass Effect not Dragon Age)

Post-Craig Review: Dr. No

 Back to the very beginning. This is a lie. "The beginning" would surely be a review of Ian Fleming's 1953 novel Casino Royale...
