To al you wondering what this chucklefuck is talking about.

He'srefering to a fic called "The mission stays the same" written by some ukrainian guy.

It about a guardsman and an eldar farseer being transported into the mass effect universe by warp shenanigans.

Its pretty well written and the story has some interresting wits, including a huge armsrace starting because of the guardsmans lasgun and plasma pistol roflstumping everything.

>More powerful than Mass Effect guns.

But how?

Anon Mass Effect Guns have virtually unlimited ammunition and fires at speeds measured in fractions of the speed of light.
The strongest man portable weapon in the game lorewise just fires a slightly larger projectile. (NVM gameplay which ignores all of that after the first game)

>>51778109
Lasguns also have virtually unlimited ammunition, and they fire at THE speed of light.

>>51778109
Its because they completly ignore kinetic barriers in the story.
This results in scenes where the guardsman is shooting fish in a barrel, since the mercs rely on their barriers and dont use cover enough.

Also means that every one and their mother is trying to aquire the weapon, since its a revolutionary piece of tech.

>>51778109
>>51778168
>fractions the speed of light

small arms are not near that strong.

as for why lasguns being 'strong' its because it's an energy weapon, which are not stopped by kinetic barriers (can't remember if they are blocked by biotic barriers or not) and in story no one uses cover as one might expect since they can pop out safely and rely on their shields to take a few shots. it's also a hotshot las gun if i remember

>>51778168
Normal lasguns can burn through steel. Mass effect armour is useless.

There are directed energy weapons in Mass Effect. You can use a Prothean particle rifle in 3 and a collector laser beam in 2. Both of them can be stopped by shields. Why would a lasgun be any different?

>>51778267
I think the story explains it away saying they are not "true" laser weapons. Whatever that means.

>>51778267
the particle rifle is still 'kinetic' in terms of shield and barrier interaction. warships use GARDIAN lasers on missels, and they can go though the shields that ships or the missles might have.

>>51778335
By "go through" do you mean "bypass"? Because GARDIAN lasers don't BYPASS shields, they OVERWHELM them. Also, those are massive, ship-sized weapons as opposed to a man-portable flashlight.

anon, the powersword is so far up there it would take decades to figure out. the plasma pistol is only a little bit behind it. Mordin can recreate the gas mixture, but he couldn't figure out how the gun actually worked.

the lasgun is so wonderful because it is so simple for the mechanicus to produce en-masse since the tech is relatively low to make. and it directly scales with how much power you put in and how big you make the gun.

las tech is so versatile and easy to figure out that it makes it so much more valuable to the Alliance

>>51778467
>Lasers are not blocked by the kinetic barriers of capital ships (bar the ones employed by the Reapers, whose barriers are capable of blocking them to an extent). However, the range of lasers limits their use to rare 'knife fight'-range ship-to-ship combat.

I mean since the shields dont prevent light from going through them, i fail to see how they wold stop a lasbolt

>>51778543
I thinkthat at this point in the story, the alliance should just do a good old style military coup on earths goverment. They know the reapers are real, the farseer made sure of that, and they have the means to do so (lasguns).

Too survive humanity would need to go full war economy.

>>51778543
Huh. Wrong I was, then. Fair enough.

Still, I'm not sure that the laser would penetrate the armor underneath the shields. I mean, a lasgun is stopped by flak armor in 40k, why wouldn't Mass Effect armor stop it?

i see right though you, Reaper Thrall

>>51778620

Flakk armour in 40k is made to heat resistant, with ceramite and all that.

ME armour is disgned to stop fast moving sandgrains projectiles, and is not thick enough to stop as lasbolt.

Remember desbite the "le flashlight" meme lasguns are pretty powerful.

>>51778620
i could try and hand wave it away as since the armor has shields, it skimps on physical protection a little. but in all honesty it's because of plot reasons

>>51778685
ME armor has ceramics in it, but like you said i probably has to do with the armor being deisnged to stop kinetic weapons and not energy weapons.

>>51778721
yeah plot comes first. And the image of a glorious guardsman roflstomping everyone and cutting through shields and armourslike toilet paper is too good to pass.

Non-ignorable portions of the combatants in ME decide that Barriers are all they need for defense and dress like a stripper underneath that.

I have two rules about this shit in my game.
1) as long as you don't start getting autistic, stupid, or creepy (I don't give a fuck that your character 'totally would rape that captured female bandit' or would 'totally stab the queen because you think that'll somehow make you the king'. keep that shit out of my game because I run lighthearted fantasy games not grimderp Game of Thrones shit)
2) don't disrupt the plot. I told you when you joined what the game was going to be like and made it a condition upon joining that you would all more-or-less go along with what I had written. You agreed, You had more than enough oppurtunity to back out and plenty of forewarning. If you decide five sessions in to abandon the plot because "it's what my character would do!" Then I take that as you going back on your word and you can fuck off.

>>51779981
>If you decide five sessions in to abandon the plot because "it's what my character would do!" Then I take that as you going back on your word and you can fuck off.

there should be some leeway there. the plot shouldn't be 100% static, it should be allowed to breathe and grow, within limits of course. if you can't adapt and keep everyone at least wanting to do what you have written, than you should know your players better. ya gotta balance between the two.

>>51777454
Who would be the wrong in this situation?

>player's character pisses off another player's character because "its what he would do"

>other player kills his character

>>51780994
Depends on how player 1 reacts, if he's a hypocrite who can't stand other people acting IC he's being a shithead, if he's reasonable about suffering consequences and doesn't give player 2 shit for doing the same as he, no one's a bad guy and you have a pretty solid group.

That's the essence of roleplaying mate. If I play a violent sociopath, then I do violent sociopath actions. It doesn't mean I'm a violent sociopath in real life, only that I play one.

Often, to signify that I don't condone raping little girls or burning orphanages or whatev, the sentence 'it's what my character want to do, not what I want to do in that situation' appears in play. Perfectly normal, perfectly usual, perfectly healthy roleplaying.

This brings up a nice question of whether the elder will survive with her link to the warp cut and how would she fair.

>>51789499
Asume the warp exists, but is calm due to cycles of extermination of all sentient life.

No sentient life, no chaos gods.

And if the warp is stable as >>51789523 pointed out they would both be wierded out as all hell at first how the interaction would go down from there I can't say.

Is intergalactic travel possible in 40k? Whats out there?

This seems like a good thread to ask.
How would a Warlock and a Paladin get along? Selling your soul isn't exactly a good thing to do but I don't want my Warlock's backstory to be some namby pamby "I sold my soul to rescue my loved one/innocent children/my village because I'm so self sacrificing".

So if the reapers knew about chaos, that would explain all their cryptic "beyond your comprehension talk".

Also explains why the reapers built the mass relays and desperately try to make the mortal races use it instead of the warp. They are scared of what might be awoken.

My warlock sold his soul because he was terrified of dying. He regrets the decision because of the things he has to do now. He lied to the party for the longest time and said he was a sorcerer. When they found out he was lying he was very adamant on how he's trying to redeem himself

>>51790550
Way I've seen it solved in the past is 'your soul, your problem'. But that's on the Paladin to RP, so probably not what you're looking for.

Honestly I'd just go with anything but a fiend as a patron (fey and outsiders aren't inherently evil and there's no laws in most settings about making deals with them) or for a non-soul selling deal with the devil.

If I ever get the chance to play a warlock I'm probably going to go with 'ancient religious order who guard a number of powerful devil/demon trapped in crowns/amulets/swords/whatevers'. They study for years to be able to harness the trapped monsters power which they use to defend the items and do good deeds using the power, which makes the trapped fiend weaker and keeps it from escaping.

>>51791239
> 'ancient religious order who guard a number of powerful devil/demon trapped in crowns/amulets/swords/whatevers'

I like Wakfu too.

>>51790663
Can we agree that mass effect is alternate take on the Dark Age of Technology?

>>51792363
No, not even close. The Mass Effect power level is absolute weak sauce. Hell, Halo humanity could take the Citadel council and probably the Reapers as well. The Reapers themselves aren't even particularly strong, they just keep everyone weaker than themselves. The DAoT humanity is to Mass Effect as the Necrons are to DAot, i.e, really fuck huge power gap.

>>51792363
Tottaly can. Ofcourse there are the issues like eldar ruling over the galaxy for 100.00s of years but, sssshhhhhh

>>51789832
Same. Daffy Duck as a mallard Abhuman Commissar... actually, just get most of the Duck Dodgers cast to be part of an Abhuman division of either the Inquisition or a Guardsmen regiment.

>abloobloobloo rape is worse than murder ;_;

>>51792363
If it were, it would have to be the absolute beginning of it.
As in Cave men compared to the Renaissance tier of difference

>>51792605
The thought that rape is worse than murder is no more or less objectionable than the thought that torture or horrible mutilation is worse than murder.

It all boils down to the big question: "would you rather live the rest of your live in absolute pain, or die immediately?"

>>51792476
>>51792618
Well yeah obviously assume this is like the very beginning before there was the the whole thing with the "coalition of worlds spanning the galaxy". In ME the plot is what 20? 50? years after humanity figures out FTL.

Concept:
>The whole Old ones VS C'tan thing happens but instead of Necrons the C'tan create the Reapers.
>The Eldar try find a better way of travel and create a proto-webway
>The first cycle happens and the eldar are killed off before they can finish the concept.
>The reapers find and assimilate the tech turning it into the Relays that we see in game.
> The cycles keep happening and the reapers keep purging.

That only leaves the problem of what happens to the C'tan.

>>51792929
Maybe the reapers rebelled? Sealed them away for good.

>>51792998
Right that can even work into the motivation of the reapers to harvest organics.
I don't remember it all to well but it was something along the lines of "Kill'em b4 they make synths"(? correct me if I'm wrong ). Which is kinda silly because the Geth are a thing. So except a tech suppression purge the harvesting could actually be needed to keep the C'tan locked up somewhere?

>>51793136
Maybe, but i agree more with the previous anon that the reapers want to stop chaos, and keep the warp calm. Wich is why they purge sentient life at regular intervals.

>>51792605
Well whether or not rape is morally more or less acceptable than murder doesn't really matter, it is whether or not it will be disruptive.

Secondly nobody said that murder was accepted at that table. Killing bandits in a skirmish is usually going to come under one of the following: self defense, police action, or military action. There are plenty of situations where society deems ending a life to be a justified killing and the word "murder" is an incorrect term to describe those sorts of killings.

>>51779981
>don't disrupt the plot.
Its the PCs entire job to disrupt the plot...

Surely a good DM can handle whatever the players throw at him and a little freedom wont "disrupt" his precious plot. The DM is in complete control at all times, if a guard steps in just before someone stabs the queen, no one can argue with that. PCs can still have complete freedom without disrupting the plot if you're a good enough DM

>>51777454
Then your character is a shitty person who will get punished for their own actions.

>>51793263
Ok, do they know of the warp? Are they like necrons that just seek to kill all flesh-bags and the calming of the warp is just a side effect or is it a more concision decision?
If it is a decision rather than a side-effect how did they find out?

>>51797689
Deciding to spend a session or two chasing up a loose end is not "disrupting" in my eyes, nor is trying to find work around or alternative solutions to problems presented. "Disrupting" would be "the GM has explicitly told us to go north to continue the plot. I want to go south and abandon the plot entirely with no intention of ever coming back to it because it's what my character would do"

>>51799621
I think they know. Their C'tan masters also despised the warp.

I think the reapers want to stop chaos from growing in power, which is why they purge inteligent life. Because inteligence creates enteties in the warp.

Why they dont just kill all life is still a mystery, but it still makes more sence than the canon reason.

>>51799978
They're waiting to see if a naturally warp resistant form of life arises, or to see if any life can be engineered to resist it

>>51799978
So we assuming that the Reapers still serve the C'tan?
And it would make sense for this to be the reason they are killing the organics and "conscripting" synths (ie. the Geth)

>>51800042
Well we already know that there are warp entities other than Chaos and the related there of, so this is not really the case. Unless in the ME universe the warp was unable to produce these life forms.

>>51777454
you are right anon
i should never give a single damn about what my character would do, i should only ever weight the mechanical benefits of all my actions

>>51800042
Makes alot of sence. A race they can then elevate with all the stored data that exists in each reaper?
We know reapers store the memories and achievements of each race they harvest.

then play a better character.

seriously just talk to your players about what content you are and are not prepared to have in the game at character gen.

If I told you right at the beginning that this is a good campaign and all characters should be somewhere from righteous and selfless down to
basically a good person but probably not willing to go to serious risk for strangers then I don't want to see you burning down an orphanage two sessions in. I told you no evil characters so if that is "what your character would do" then roll up a new one because you aren't playing that anymore.

If I said this would be a cooperative campaign without PVP and you should at least be on good terms with the other characters if not actually friends, then I do not want to hear from you that what your character would do right now is take a shot at one of your team mates when they are distracted, or rob the party while they sleep.

It goes both ways. If I say from the outset that this is an evil campaign I better not have your self righteous paladin delivering an ultimatum to the other PC's to repent or be destroyed the first time one of them does something shady.

>All this xeno breeding

>>51790550
Depends on what he made a pact WITH. Fiends would obviously be some bad shit to a paladin, but the Fair Folk could range from evil to good, and the Paladin probably couldn't even imagine or comprehend whatever the fuck a GOO wants or what its alignment is.
