Obviously you can't choose your allies classes but I hope it's not like KOTOR where there's only three basic classes.

Looks fun as hell.
 
Scoundrel? Well, not for the main character. Bioware has hinted that some of your other party members will be in entirely different classes, so maybe there will be a sly/stealthy one amongst them.

Though I imagine that some of the tech boosts could make a good rogue.

Yeah maybe but I hated how hard a scoundrel was to use your first time through.
When does this game come out again?

Probably around June, they didn't announce the release date but that seems to be the latest they'll release it.
 
Damn, now that looks awesome. Now I have two games to look forward to playing on my New Xbox 360 (*roaring round of applause*). ;)

June? In that case I wonder if we'll start getting lots more media in the upcoming months. I really hope so... cos let's face it - it looks fantastic.

Soldier
What BioWare Says: Soldiers are combat specialists ideal for the front lines of a firefight. Soldiers begin the game trained with skills in both pistols and assault rifles, they have improved health and the ability to wear medium combat armor. As you progress through the game you can unlock assault training, skills with shotguns and sniper rifles, become able to perform first aid on yourself and party members, and wear heavy combat armor.

Engineer
What BioWare Says: Engineers are tech specialists. Using the holographic OmniTool they can decrypt security systems, repair and/or modify technical equipment, disrupt enemy weapons or shields and heal their party. Even though they begin the game with only pistols and the OmniTool, engineers can unlock the ability to wear light armor and to reverse engineer enemy technology. They can also learn to put up protective shields and to heal the party.

Adept
What BioWare Says: Adepts are biotic specialists. Starting out equipped with pistols and light armor, the true strength of the adept is through the upgradeable implants that give them their biotic powers. These powers can be used to lift or throw objects, shield the party and disable or destroy enemies.
