One minor nitpick I'm having with the game is that they keep referring to Rachel as, well, Rachel: it feels a bit weird that every other officer is referred to with their role except for her, despite being the chief science officer. It is admittedly the only thing I'm finding off for now, and I'm looking forward to seeing how good this game actually is, though the positive comparison to Cataclysm is making me hopeful that it is (and that I may have to get it myself  ).The cutscenes remind me a lot of the Thief series with the art direction they chose for it and the background chatter so far provides a lot of minor details on what's going on.

berryjon posted:Actually, a lot of people get names - in the post mission debrief. The Inel Officer is Nathan S'Jet, for example. Again, it's a very minor nitpick, but I was wondering if I was the only one that thought of it.

berryjon posted:Also, something I didn't mention in the second video - when a general unit levels up, they do get a name when you click on the unit itself. All the LAVs are piloted by someone from the Kiith S'Jet, the Armored Vehicles are Kiith Soban. I'm more and more impressed by this.

Fish Noise posted:Edit: It might just be that this game using lots of fine details on big patches of very similar colors definitely makes this particular behavior of youtube way more glaring than usual? Unfortunately this is all on Youtube's part and so there really isn't much berryjon can do on his side.

berryjon posted:Usually you get actual people involved before killing them off. Name dropping a person like that is just bad writing. Also I'm guessing that we'll find some way of taking control of that previously unknown orbital weapon that was not mentioned anywhere before and looks suspiciously like GDI Ion Cannon?

berryjon posted:No words here. I have enough of them in-mission.  Why is there a Taiidan carrier In Homeworld 1 they found out about the Taiidan after they turned Kharak into a fireball and they interrogated one of the frigate captains attacking the cryo trays. This is one hell of a retcon. radintorov fucked around with this message at 16:25 on Mar 6, 2016 |

Kopijeger posted:She thinks it is simply the name of the ship ("a military capital ship that seems to be named Taidaan"). Of course, if it was intact enough to learn its name, that it had emplaced the satelite and still have a functional trigger aboard, then that raises the question I mentioned earlier about how they didn't learn about the Taidaan empire from the computer banks of the wrecks.  In my defense I watched the video yesterday before heading to bed, but I really should've double-checked because it's not quite as bad as I originally thought, even though as you said it's odd that they managed to use the onboard systems to take control of the orbital Ion Cannon withouth finding anything else about them.

I think Rachel's brother died long before the Ion Cannon obliterated one of the Gaalsien fleets, since the cinematic mentioned that the orbital platform sent an IFF query, which means that it was likely operating on Jacob's modified targeting to engage anything near the Khar-Toba. And speaking of, that's one of the very few things that still bugs me, since the future-Exiles weren't supposed to have Ion Technology until the Bentusi gave it to them; since it delivered a blast instead of a continued beam of energy, they could've passed it as some sort of kinetic weapon delivery system and still use the asset they originally made. Though since I missed the obvious earlier, I have to ask if it's stated explicitly that the satellite is a Ion weapon instead of something else.?

You did a great job showing off the game and explaining how the game story fits in the established lore better than I originally thought it did.
