For me, that was dross.
The scripted "RP" was quite frankly embarrassing. Nobody plays games like that - it was a totally pathetic attempt at turning it into a movie. The girl in particular was totally useless - I had to mute the audio it was so bad. CR was talking over them, and the "ladies first/nice jacket/lets rock and roll" was infantile.
Nobody asked for the facial stuff, and it looks awful - ME3 awful, and then some. If you're going to bring something like that to the table, when nobody asked for it, it has to be fantastic in my humble opinion. As it was, it looked terrible - the facial expressions were at best farcical and at worst just spooky - it instantly triggers uncanny alley, and makes ME look GOOD!. Positional audio - well yay for that, I was doing that back with CSound in '92 on the NeXT.
Again - only Miles the mission man. He didn't even spawn first time around. No game loop, no cargo, no commodities, no outfitting, no inventory, a horrible UI for getting clothes on and having to equip shoulder pads individually, no persistence.
Why can't we be allowed to see the loading screen? What was CR covering up?
And then it was all just pew pew which is all we've seen for the last week. It was quite frankly dire.
Where's SQ42? Not even mentioned. Where are the AI which apparently all have jobs and things to do, but never ever fly space ships etc. Where's the flight dynamics/model - ships just stop and rotate in space as if there's no gravity or inertia.
The FPS during the capital ship battle was sub 15 fps for sure.
As always, it looks pretty good, but it simply doesn't work.
