The latest patch for Mass Effect: Andromeda is here, bringing a whole host of fixes and improvements fans have been asking for. One of the biggest fixes will come to the dialogue system.
As noted in the BioWare blog, dialogue options will no longer appear greyed out if a character has more to say. Previously, players would have to pick the same conversation options again and again in the hopes that there might be more dialogue. Now, a conversation option will only grey out once all the dialogue has been heard.
Additionally, if you own the Deluxe or Super Deluxe editions of Mass Effect: Andromeda, you’ll get some new items including two custom Noman skins, a new Pathfinder outfit to wear outside of combat and an exclusive multiplayer pack.
No release date was given for the patch, but BioWare’s post mentioned the patch will be coming soon.
