Those are the ones who buy the DLC and consistently buy all the games. Bioware tries to please them often, and for good reason. ME's customer retention (about 40% of the people who played ME3 also played ME2/ME3) is honestly pretty good.

Anyone else always purposely have a few deaths during the suicide mission? Or does everyone just perfect it every time?

>>161877808

>>161878050
They can court marshal me if they want. See how well that goes.

>>161877990
>Anyone else always purposely have a few deaths during the suicide mission? Or does everyone just perfect it every time?

I usually make sure to have one to three. Usually Jacob or Zaeed, sometimes Samara or Kasumi. Only four characters in ME2 (Tali, Mordin, Legion, and Garrus) end up mattering at all anyway. They always survive for me, bar that one playthrough I did where I just never activated Legion.

>>161878091
It'll end up like a pretty normal court marshall

>>161878120
>Zaeed
Why?

Whats better for a kill the geth run? A disloyal Legion or the Geth VI thing?

Which one makes it easier to role-play a Shephard that doesn't consider the Geth sentient/alive/whatever?

>>161878241
Because he seems like the most expendable person on the team. A paid mercenary with no greater significance outside the mission and no real role on the mission other than acting as another gun, which everyone else does.

>>161878120

I'm definitely going to have Jacob and Jack die this playthrough, thinking about letting Tali die but I don't know if her replacement is going to make the Rannoch missions more or less interesting.

>>161878364
You know, if you do his loyalty mission right after the suicide mission and go full paragon it gives you option at the end to leave him there to die.

>>161878348
Geth VI because why the fuck would you activate Legion in the first place instead of getting the credit bounty?

>>161878348
I'm going to assume you mean you get the Geth VI by selling Legion to Cerberus in ME2.

Tough one. On the one hand, not activating Legion pretty much removes all possible reasoning for seeing the geth as any way sympathetic. Your Shepard will not even be aware of a supposed geth-heretic split, and will have absolutely zero reason to do anything except destroy the geth going into the Rannoch arc of ME3 (unless you for some reason REALLY trust and love the random robot you've never met that threatens you every other conversation telling you to side with it in ME3). It would pretty much mark the geth entirely as antagonists. If you're trying to maintain the narrative of the geth being bad/not alive/whatever, then not activating Legion also means Tali never favors peace with the geth, and shows no regret about killing the Geth VI thing at the end of the Rannoch arc. The rest of your team is already fully supportive of eradicating the geth (besides EDI), Legion around or no.

On the other hand, not only does getting rid of Legion lock you out from a pretty important mission, it also is a bit hard to justify in-universe. Since there's effectively no risk posed by questioning it, even if your whole goal is destruction of the geth. There should have been an option to activate Legion, question it, but never let it out of prison.

I would slightly favor the Geth VI option.

>>161878538
To find out first hand why that thing can talk or why it has a piece of your old armor.

>>161878538

So I can blow up the Geth base in his loyalty mission (then side with Tali in their fight to lose his loyalty).

But I guess that doesn't make a lot of sense from a role-playing perspective.

>>161878531
Yeah, but if he's going to die anyway he may as well die on the Collector Base. I think having at least a couple casualties makes it more plausible, and there is possibly no character more expendable than Zaeed.

Do you guys ever think about what Shepard must have looked like when they found his body?

I mean regardless of whether he was alive or not he would still look fucking awful.

He was in the middle of a huge
explosion
He fell from fucking space
Debris fell all around him and most likely on top of him.

I bet he had a leg or maybe both completely smashed. Maybe an arm missing and a bunch of wire's and gears sticking out. And a face like the terminator at the end of a movie.

That's pretty sad.

>why it has a piece of your old armor
How do you know it's yours? More likely this fucker killed a fellow N7 and desecrated the body by using it for repairs.

>>161878758
he was a mostly-melted hunk of goo encased in molten N7 armor

>>161878906
That's pretty sad.

>>161878659

If you do legions loyalty mission but lose his loyalty later and he dies at the collector base, do any of the other squad-mates become more sympathetic to the Geth or is it about the same as if you'd never activated him?

I'm leaning towards not activating him but I'd like to blow up that base.

>>161878986
Because Shepard recognizes it. Don't question it.

>>161878758
He got thrown by a huge explosion, suffered multiple suit breaches in a vacuum, got pulled into the nearby planet, went through orbital reentry while being sheathed for several minutes in temperatures that would melt titanium, and then finally directly impacted squarely at the side of a mountain at terminal velocity, on a planet whose atmosphere consists of highly corrosive ammonia with no sign of any orbital debris to shield him from said height or increased his overall drag to reduce his terminal velocity.

He should have been a barely recognizable lump of flesh. But LOLMAGICARMOR is a thing, so instead his body was probably largely intact. We even see his helmet, and it's hardly damaged.

>>161878659
>Since there's effectively no risk posed by questioning it
There's also no guarantee that it can be deactivated again without shooting it, making it worth much less.

I'm still salty I was forced to bring her aboard. Grunt is more stable and less likely to fuck everything up and everyone warns you about waking him up.

>>161879212

Which makes very little sense

>>161879212
Ok, what does grunt have to do with Jack?

Coincidentally Grunt and Jack are my go-to team on my final mission

>>161879063

I think he's talking about the end of ME3, not the beginning of ME2, since he's mentioning Shephard's terminator upgrades.

>>161879350

>>161879056
Tali does, in the sense that she wants peace with the geth (but this is impossible without Legion) and regrets having to destroy them ("the real Legion would have understood", she says). The others don't. Then again, the others don't even with a living and loyal Legion. As for the others: EDI of course supports the geth, Liara has no real opinion, and all the other squaddies would love you to kill the shit out of the geth.

Here are their responses if you destroy the geth, even with a live and loyal Legion:

>Joker: That's a load of crap, EDI. The geth chose to join the Reapers. Extenuating circumstances, but yeah. Some of the geth saw the Reapers as gods. So don't act like we were the bad guys for not trusting them.

>Javik: Your Joker-Pilot seems pleased with your choice. He said: "Bucket-head aliens: 1. Crazy evil robots: 0".
>Javik: You are proving that humans are capable soldiers. And I am pleased you did not ally with the synthetics. That would have been a grave mistake. I only hope the quarians show resolve. They should have wiped out the machines long ago.
>Javik: Your quarian seems pleased with your choice. Perhaps she will reward you with a reproductive ritual.

>Kaidan: Finally, we're rid of the geth once and for all. Those murdering machines... I can't help draw the parallel. Know what I mean? Yeah, let's just hope the geth don't have the rachni's playbook

>Garrus: And that's the end of the geth. A few years ago, that would have been the end of our problems too. Remember Noveria? Ilos? Therum? They were everywhere. The geth spilled a lot of blood, and I'm not sorry to see them go. Now let's make sure the Reapers join them.

>Ashley: I know that wasn't an easy call for you, but I'm glad the quarians came out on top. I just can't see the geth as "real", you know? And ever since Eden Prime... I'll never forgive them for that. But good to know that's all behind us.

>James: Good to know we don't have to worry about the geth anymore.

>>161879318

I was just pointing out that everyone just accepts that we're bringing someone on board the ship that could easily fuck it up and kill everybody and that's also completely unstable and unpredictable(and that already destroyed one space station she was on without much of a plan to escape it alive).

The only one concerned was Miranda and she was mostly just worried about the files.

>>161879659
ME2 makes you do a lot of dumb shit. Like how there's no option to just have the Cerberus crew arrested on the Citadel. Or at least shoot Miranda in the face when she openly admits to trying to enslave you while also being complicit in kidnapping, torture, and murder. While, at the same time, possibly extolling the virtues of the organization that killed your squad on Akuze.

True, Grunt could go on a rampage but he'd have to physically kill everyone. Jack demonstrated she could make a massive space station unlivable fairly quickly with her biotics. She could allahu akbar the Normandy before anyone could react if she wanted, she even lives right next to the engine.

I honestly think that we were never meant to see that picture. It looks blatantly unfinished even for a photoshop, and was probably inserted into the game by mistake by some intern. Or just rushed out the door.

Especially since in the Extended Cut, released soon after the game, they actually did model a quarian face. Not Tali's though.

We already knew they looked like humans bro. You've been able to see a vague outline of Tali's face through her mask since the first game.

>>161881242
I'm not even a talifag, but the level of laziness they showed by not using oc for Tali's face pisses me off

>>161881242

IIRC one of the developers said
>>161880570
Will always be Tali to him

>>161881338
That's the thing though, I don't think it's laziness. They already had that picture and several others that they could have put into the game, and it would have been better than what we got.

>>161881315
Don't mean it's not stupid that they look like humans.

I get why asari look humsn, the whole green women star trek fantasy. But they were able to create salarians, Krogan, and Turians and make them totally unique

>>161881449
>Don't mean it's not stupid that they look like humans.

You're pretty much complaining about nothing then. The asari and batarians are even more guilty of this, again since the first game. You may as well start complaining that almost every species is bipedal and has Space Human cultures.

This was made in 2012.
FEAR was released in 2005. So was Republic Commando.
Crysis was released the same year as the first Mass Effect and Gears of War.

Has Mass Effect ever really had GOOD animations that weren't the typical pounds-hand-into-palm, raising-fist-infront-of-face, stops-mid-walk, etc.?

>>161892443

The graphics look really great, at least. The armour textures, the lighting, his plates.

>>161898842
No, bioware can't actually animate, if you look at all their games the cutscene animations are pretty awful, nobody has ever really played a bioware game for their incredible animations

Could've been fantastic in the Frostbite engine. The sound of the gun firing, the echo, tossing up dirt.
I guess I understand their reasoning, but still.

>>161900909

I thought the SR-1 was more of a 'cosy' ship than the SR-2. It didn't feel as open, as luxurious. It felt more close and intimate. It made you really feel like you were sneaking around in the Terminus Systems, which I think is more fitting of a stealth ship.

>>161901148

Morrigan was pretty good though, I liked her a lot. I find Liara to be pretty damn insufferable. Not sure why, probably because you never get an opportunity to confront her or counter her views in any way.

Depends heavily. For some reason I actually believe that they might be similar to us in terms of bipedal movement and heavily relying on their vision.

But if we ever meet an alien, they'll no doubt be either machines of some kind. Or the species has uploaded their consciousness into a machine form.

But we all know that the Asari do exists and everyone who says otherwise if a filthy liar from Cerberus
