    After thinking about it, I wonder if that creature pictured on the Become the Traveler picture is a human affected by the Rot 🤔

      I'm thinking it may be the protagonist. Their father is a human, whilst their mother is a celestial. I imagine this will be one of the options in the customisation, where you pick whether you want to look more like your mother (celestial) or your father (human).

    I'm very happy it's a voiced protagonist. I personally find it more immersive. I'm incredibly excited for Exodus but will temper my expectations bc we've had devs over promises and under deliver a lot.
    Also, I adored Tom's character reveal and can't wait to see if the other companions get the same treatment.

    Voiced Protagonist, definitely. It helps so much with immersion, feeling like you are the protagonist in some sense, and I think it's part of what made the Mass Effect trilogy so popular. I really hope that they can make this game a success!

      I also think it just makes sense because Bioware has always made their custom characters with a lot of ties to the world and story. And so it just makes sense for them to be voiced.

  • @zeeinfinite
    @zeeinfinite 11 месяцев назад +21

    Voiced protag is always a win. Having a voice adds much more to the immersion for an RPG. I'm having trouble enjoying the aesthetic they are going with this. Perhaps it won't matter when everything else is amazing. Tempering my expectations of this until a gameplay showcase comes out.

    • @Knight1029
      @Knight1029 11 месяцев назад +5

      I completely agree. A voiced protagonist makes it so much better.
      I also agree on the aesthetic. It is fine but when fans of Mass Effect look at it, it will feel just a bit generic. I was hoping the art style would be similar to Mass Effect. I also hopes that the alien designs would also be like Mass Effect. All it is, is humans with different skin colours.

    I find customizable player characters add to the immersion of a game. Its like being in your own space adventure film or TV show. Games with out it leave me a bit detached. I hope one day there will be a feature that uses webcam or up loaded jpg images to construct a likeness of the play. Some games allow a pitch adjustment to the prerecorded voice. I don't recall what game, I think it was a Dragon Age game. I may be wrong.

    In the Q&A video, James Ohlen said the "You are going to have the freedom to explore this new universe the way you want to explore it. That's always an important factor in a role-playing game, so definitely not linear"

    • @Knight1029
      @Knight1029 11 месяцев назад +3

      I don't think that means that. What I think is going to happen is that the player will be in a cluster and can decide to leave it before finishing everything. And then come back to those unfinished quests changing the world. What this will mean is most players will do everything before traveling forward into time.

    I'm very excited for it, they are clearly full on sci fi fans and (not to mention!😅) have been involved in Mass Effect so it can only be good.

    You say four is a small roster of companions, but if they are high-quality and have tons of depth, less can be more. Personally I would love a handful of interesting and detailed companions over more that are less so. Any time jumps will have to also impact companion stories, no? Writing a companion character might be a lot more involved as a result, instead of being able to toss one or two missions for them into the game that can be completed at any time and are largely separate from the main story (as in ME2).

    I remember watching the trailer and my attention being drawn mainly to the "gameplay" part. It was still a curiosity at best and then I watched your videos and my interest in the game has gone up 1000%. I'm still going to be cautious though. I've been hyped for so many games over the last few years and then been burnt by almost every single release. Because of that I've been somewhat semi-retired from gaming and not actively keeping an eye on what's going on in the gaming space. So again thank you so much for these videos.
    If Exodus and Mass Effect 5 can give us all the action, romances and choices we all so desperately need, then holy crap it's gonna be exciting to say the least.
    So, the companion that's in a mech suit, and sorry if this has already been answered, why are they in a mech suit ? Possibly someone is infected with the Rot and the mech suit is actually a life support system ? Maybe they're disabled in some way and the suit gives them the freedom to move around ? Or maybe they're just simply a badass soldier that uses a mech suit to kick ass ? Crazier still is that maybe it's designed to fit an awakened animal...
    There's so much to unpack from what is already such a rich and expansive world and boy is it gonna be great joining everyone on this rollercoaster ride to the games release.

    I am happy that they are going with a voiced protagonist. My favorite games all have voiced protagonists. I love Commander Shepard and Hawke dearly. It just makes the game so much better. Which is why I was so disappointed by Baldur's Gate 3's lack of a voiced protagonist. It especially sucks since the game is so cinematic, which creates this dissonance for me.
    I also want to say it felt weird how the answered the question of a voiced protagonist. Maybe I am reading to much into it but it felt like the were slightly ashamed or maybe knew a loud base of RPG fans hate voiced protagonists with a passion. And so tried not to alienate them by keeping it short. But like why would people who hate voiced protagonists play Exodus? When it is going to be a spiritual successor to Mass Effect. A game that isn't like BG3 or Pathfinder. It just seems odd to me.
    Regardless I am looking forward to the game immensely.

    While this does look like an interesting game, I think we need to learn here from past mistakes.
    Often I see the announcements of some new game and are given some narrative about a small part of the story and type of game it is, which I have no issue with.
    However, people then go on to try to speculate more about the game and possibly new things people might be able to expect, things they can do within it etc.
    The problem there is, as we have seen so many times is that it gets peoples hopes and expectations up, to a high level.
    When the game comes out However, it tends to be a great disappointment.
    It's ok knowing that a game us coming and a little about it but I think it's best left there until the game arrives.
    I feel that people knowing too much before even playing it spoils it because people tend to know most if the interesting things and don't really have those things to enjoy when the game comes out.
    Game companies used to keep many things about a game secret because they wanted the gamer to discover things for themselves.
    These days though, people seem board playing games because so much has been spoilt or over hyped before they even have thir hands on it.
