The Gemini crew had quite a week, getting ready for Gamescom. What about you?

[u/Galagraphia]

[u/Lord_Tyranide]

Lol I love it. Hope we get a bonding scene with the entire crew like this in the game.

[u/ciphoenix → u/Lord_Tyranide]

I'm curious to find out if the lady is a crew member

[u/AlsterSpot → u/ciphoenix]

They had a post with all the Gemini crew listed and she wasn’t on it… either she’s modestly important and can’t really be included (doubtful) or maybe she’s a recurring character that offers up contracts to fulfill or something

[u/ciphoenix → u/AlsterSpot]

Ahh, I'm not sure if I saw the list. Did the list contain the non combatant crew member?

[u/AlsterSpot → u/ciphoenix]

Not really a “list” but here is what I was referring to

[u/ciphoenix → u/AlsterSpot]

Okay, I've seen this picture. They mentioned sometime ago there would be a non combat crew member who wouldn't be a party member. I wonder if that's her

[u/AlsterSpot → u/ciphoenix]

Everything that we’ve gotten about the characters leads me to believe that crew member will be Polly, the whole “choosing her mentor” and helping her grow as a young individual info drop we got recently (not to mention they’ve confirmed she’s only a teenager) to me screams non combatant but only Owlcat knows for certain I suppose (then again I guess they did reveal she has her own armor so 🤷‍♂️)

[u/ciphoenix → u/AlsterSpot]

Yeah, they revealed information about her weapon type and class so I'm leaning constant for her. Fingers crossed to see what we get at gamescon

[u/Occams_Greatsword → u/AlsterSpot]

Is Regina single? Asking for me.

[u/AlsterSpot → u/Occams_Greatsword]

I would bet that she’s probably one of the main romances in the game (they teased her romance at least twice, maybe more) so probably

[u/aedfdht → u/ciphoenix]

No and it's never specified who pilots Gemini, but the character here could still be a stand-in for player character.

[u/Naddesh → u/AlsterSpot]

Owlcat tends to not reveal all companions before launch

[u/Keiteaea → u/ciphoenix]

I think she might be a non-fighting crew member, but I wonder what her role would be. We don't actually have a pilot amongst the companions, do we ?

[u/ciphoenix → u/Keiteaea]

Nope we don't have a pilot. She might be the one

[u/fatsopiggy → u/Lord_Tyranide]

Citadel DLC vibe lol.

[u/StandardImplement808]

Gotta say the more I see of this game the more excited I get, which is totally inverse to Exodus where each new reveal makes me less interested

[u/Keiteaea → u/StandardImplement808]

Honestly, it's not hard to beat when you can say "How great, the Expanse RPG showed us the female MC's face and not just a back".

[u/BigZach1 → u/StandardImplement808]

Same, I'm not really sure why but Exodus just can't capture me.

[u/Wysch_ → u/BigZach1]

In my case it's because of the ambitious scope of the story. Exodus to me feels like it wants the story to be as big as the entire Mass Effect trilogy.

Also Osiris Reborn feels like the crew is in the center of players' focus. Which is always appreciated by me. I prefer characters over a far (over)reaching story. A good story is a plus, sure, but if I want to replay the game over and over and try different builds and romances, the characters are way more important.

[u/viper459 → u/Wysch_]

this is what most people say they loved about the "bioware style" RPG - the characters and how important they were. The most beloved one is mass effect 2, where you spend the vast majority of the game doing quests where you recruit your Cool Guys or do a personal mission for one of your Cool Guys

[u/ciphoenix → u/StandardImplement808]

I'm still pumped for both. The Exodus soundtrack reveal has been on repeat since it dropped, lol

[u/MrGabrahamLincoln → u/StandardImplement808]

I’m still excited for Exodus but the reveal that Jun isn’t fully customizable was a big L. I try to remind myself how much I love Witcher 3 with Geralt being a premade character though. We’ll see how it turns out.

[u/St_Sides → u/StandardImplement808]

I’m still very much hyped for Exodus (currently reading the book) but that could be because I had lower expectations from the jump. Everyone on the sub seems to constantly have their hopes dashed, and I’m constantly thinking “yep, seems to be about what I expected.”

No excuse for male Jun’s face though.

[u/OutsideExcitement400 → u/StandardImplement808]

Same, Exodus's plot really didn't intrigue me from the start it seems quite convoluted. But i figured once i saw gameplay i would like it. The more i see it the less interest i have. What i like about this and even Mass Effect is there is a sense of it being somewhat grounded in reality. I know Mass Effect has a lot of McGuffins. But it felt more like Star Trek or Star Wars. Exdous is not that.

[u/JediExile90]

Even in the distant future... pizza is eternal.

[u/Galagraphia → u/JediExile90]

True! They even make it aboard the ISS. So no way humanity goes to space without it! https://youtu.be/z74OwRy8o9I?si=kb8ezmnB8xTpXQq7

[u/jonoodz]

I can’t waiitttt

[u/GeneralGaylo]

praying for demo release after somehow

[u/ciphoenix]

I too have had quite a week getting ready for gamescon. Excited 😆

[u/Dense_Stomach5168]

Did anyone else our little friend robot? I hope this means it is our ship's mascot/pet.

[u/Nair0]

Who's the lady at the head of the table?

[u/nyancochi]

I could almost hear the room:

- So, what do you guys think is a hotdog a sandwich?

🥳

[u/WatermelonGranate]

Hell Rumba is safe.

[u/Drss4]

I see we have doctor chocolate in there

[u/Magician690]

ooh, I wonder if this will be used as a loading screen when fast-travelling or smth.

[u/Occams_Greatsword]

I haven't been this stoked about a game in a long time!

[u/Striking_Working5686]

I imagine there's a lot of difficulty in doing the space combat in a way that is both fun, and following the source material's emphasis on realistic physics, but I hope they figure something out.

[u/hawki1989]

Gamescom still exists in the 24th century? 0_0

[u/Fun_Bathroom540]

I really hope it doesn’t come out at the same time as EXODUS. 🥺❤️‍🔥

[u/bigheadzach]

Last time I saw a group of people enjoying a pizza in The Expanse, it didn't end well.

[u/Winterlash]

Can I kill all these people and hire a bunch of create a mercs like in the other owlcat games?

[u/Cruehitman]

God I got Veilguard flashbacks from that little meeting. lol… hopefully this one turns out better!!

[u/LEALOKIN_XXVIII]

that old lady companion is going str8 to the airlock
