That makes sense. I'm guessing the main quest progression has something to do with the ark arrivals as each ark is supposed to dock into the nexus to finalize it's construction as Citadel 2.0.

Honestly my biggest concern for Andromeda is not being able to move on past the characters I've grown attached to throughout the trilogy.

Which raises another question, or perhaps it's been asked already but I don't frequent these threads too often, we set out to Andromeda before the milky way even reached closure with the reapers, If this is the case the social changes that occurred in society between everyone are probably absent leaving things more or less the same as they were prior to the events of ME2 and ME3.
Basically what I'm asking is, are these turbans going to be bitter towards humans, Krogan towards Salarians,etc,etc.

Or am I totally fucking up this timeframe.

Pretty much the same here desu. ME was able to keep my interest no matter how bad the plot got because it had very likeable characters that you spent 100 hours with. Andromeda doesn't have that goodwill. That's part of why I'd pay for a remastered trilogy with more dialogue scenes and an epilogue but probably won't even bother to pirate Andromeda.

I miss Tali and Wrex.

Why does Bioware think this is a good idea? The reason these characters were so beloved in the first place is exactly because we got to bond with them for 3 or 2 whole games.

Well, they'd at least be aware the a human Spectre stopped Saren from destroying the Citadel (and possibly saved the Council and the 10k asari on that ship). I'm sure that would go a long way to soothing any lingering animosity.

But by and large the Turians seem to be the most accepting of humanity of all the Council races, possibly because of their meritocracy. Both of the Turian Councilors and the Primarch are more willing than the Salarian and Asari leadership to work with Shepard. The Turians and Alliance were already working together pre-ME1 on some pretty major projects (the Normandy is a huge deal, new turian+human ship layout, new drive, new stealth system, and then there's Pinnacle Station which is a retrofitted Turian station with what seems to be a primarily Turian crew being commanded by an Alliance admiral).

Vidinos and Saren are the only two that come to mind who outwardly dislike humans, but maybe I'm forgetting someone.

Krogan would definitely have a problem with Salarians, though. Of course, this could be handwaved by saying the project weeded out anyone with racist tendencies (which would make sense anyway, since it's a multi-species venture and they wouldn't want problems).

I hope ME:A has party banter or something like it. I'm replaying the trilogy right now and everyone is way too quiet.
>>
>>165425303
>I'm replaying the trilogy right now and everyone is way too quiet.
Really? I never felt lonely throughout those games because there was so much talking throughout the mission.
Then again the last game I played before touching the trilogy again for old times sake was DA:I which has banter on the field every ten-thousand miles.

Also that is a really good Garrus. Saved.

ME is great about having party members chime in during your mission conversations. It seems like they almost always have something to add, which is perfect. But they really don't talk to each other at all, except for the occasional elevator ride in ME1 and the handful of scenes in ME2 and ME3 where you can find party members hanging out together on the Normandy. Those scenes are some of my favorite in the trilogy.

It's kind of a pet peeve of mine in a lot of games. You assemble a party of people, but they only ever seem to talk to you. You can assume they hang out behind the scenes, but not showing it's a huge missed opportunity for character and plot development.

I mean, imagine strolling around the Citadel while Garrus and Kaidan/Ashley compare human and turian cultures. Or Wrex giving Tali tips on using her shotgun, which gradually grows into a mentor+student friendship between them. Or Miranda and Mordin talking geeking out together. Or everyone giving EDI terrible romantic advice just to troll Joker.

ME3's pretty good about this, they move around and speak to each other often enough. ME1 at least has the elevators. ME2 is the only game that completely neglected it by having everyone just stare at walls all day until Shepard shows up; even the mission-specific dialogue is short and totally generic. Which is part of why I think it's severely overrated when it comes to how it handled characters.
>>
>>165427697
Oh. That's what you mean. Yes, I absolutely agree on that one. Even in ME2 where they really kicked it up a notch with dialogue, party banter between your squadmates was scarce. That's one thing ME3 got down pretty well, you could actually see your crew acting like a crew and interacting with one another off-duty,
>>
>>165427959
>Which is part of why I think it's severely overrated when it comes to how it handled characters.
This.
I feel part of why I enjoyed ME3 the most ,despite the disappointing ending, was exactly how the characters were handled. Garrus, Tali, and Wrex were pretty much my favorite characters throughout the trilogy and despite the first two getting some attention in ME2, they really did not have much to say. ME3 drowned all three of them in more attention than they had ever gotten between ME1 and ME2.

mass effect downfall was because they had to continue Shepard story. sheaperd should have remained dead.

The majority of people would probably disagree with you and I mean a large majority. Again, what's the point of introducing a likeable cast with so much potential only to make them irrelevant in the next game which takes place in the exact same universe around the same time? This didn't work very well for Dragon age seeing how the best characters are still the original cast and the best fanservice between the sequels is usually one of their cameos. Seeing Morrigan again shouldn't have been the most memorable scene of DA:I but it was because the current cast was meh along with the plot.

It didn't really work in the original trilogy though, Garrus becoming Batman no matter what you told him, Liara becoming another character and an asshole... only a few characters worked across games like Wrex and his arch or Tali. Some characters even turned irrelevant like Miranda or Jacob.
>>165434510
You really want your cliffhanger ending, don't you? If Andromeda turns out to be shit it won't be because they didn't have five sequels planned.
>>165434404
I don't think anything is entirely confirmed about a possible sequel yet but I think limiting a sequel like that makes the setting feel smaller if it's always the same old faces. It's also a kind of weird mindset, to think more about sequels than how wholesome the game itself is. I think the heads at EA shares your ideas about sequels though so who knows.

What's bad about cliffhangers anyway? Also you can bitch about every single ME game and it's normal but i think most agree it was cool game series overall.
I don't hear the same about DA ( sorry about using it again but that the finest example of BW's shitty trilogy )
Linking games with same protagonist makes them more enjoyable imo. You have progress, you have something you know but can still improve and you can feel like you actually mean something in game's universe.
Or you can always be some new, generic galaxy/planet saving protagonist not known to anyone but eager to prove his worth! Wew!
>>
>>165435310
>Garrus becoming Batman no matter what you told him, Liara becoming another character and an asshole...
It'seems just character development?Both Garrus and Liara became far more interesting in ME2.
It's not like they became entirely different people either. both their personalities are still intact. Hell, Liara and Garrus barely had personalities in ME1 so much so that while I was playing it I was wondering why my friend was so in love with Garrus, get to ME2 and I finally understood why.
>>
>>165435872
>It's not like they became entirely different people either. both their personalities are still intact

They're entirely different characters. Like I love ME's decision to give all 3 games the same core cast and am still asshurt about Andromeda not doing that, but it's just a fact that Garrus and Liara were completely rebooted after ME1.
>>
>>165435610

Besides the amount of games with standalone stories are abundant already and greatly outnumber games with direct sequels and returning protagonists.

Well outside of JRPGs which I usually hate.

True and there are many good standalone's but that doesn't change the fact that there were no RPG's i enjoyed more than The Witcher and Mass Effect series. Maybe it's just matter of taste but i will be disappointed if they make new ME's standalones.

But how can they be rebooted if they were literally blank slates? They hadn't gone through anything, we barley knew them. Shit hit the fan and they developed according to their experience. Garrus got jaded and Liara became colder.
This isn't something like, for example, Jack going from well... Being Jack to an absolute softie girly girl in which the shift in demeanor makes 0 sense.
>>
>>165436206
>But how can they be rebooted if they were literally blank slates? They hadn't gone through anything, we barley knew them.

ME1 Garrus: racist belligerent cop with a stick up his ass and an overtly gruff and humorless demeanor

ME1 Liara: shy, naive, introverted scientist who has an obsession with Protheans

They had characters in ME1. Their characterizations were just completely ignored in ME2.

ME2 Garrus: laid back, friendly, snarky sidekick with a quip ready for every situation

ME2 Liara: hardened revenge-obsessed killer and information broker/crime boss
>>
>>165436334
>and humorless demeanor
I would argue that Garrus is just beating people up with that stick now and was still witty in ME1 just not to the extent of ME2 in which, like you said, he was constantly cracking jokes and snark.
I'll give it to you with Liara though, because while her obsession with the protheans still remains she was super introverted. I guess you could argue her time on the Normandy dragged her out of that and made her more sociable.
>>
>>165435610
I can't believe you guys, after ME3 you still want a series with a final game written by completely different people than the first entry and all that crap? The original trilogy would have worked much better with more self-contained entries.
>>
>>165437423
Why not just keep the same cast for the Andromeda scenario but introduce a new conflict with each game and rotate the cast a little? Maybe some characters get stationed elsewhere and return later.
It seems like the reason people want direct sequels isn't because the story would somehow be more enchanting than a stand alone- it's because of the characters. Not everyone wants to just forget about them after spending most of the game just figuring out who they are, nor does everyone want to say bye to their generic hero that will most likely remain nothing more than a generic hero because their story concludes with the end of their game. Mass Effect is an RPG where the player can somewhat dictate their actions and dialogue so people tend to self-insert hard and seriously bond with these characters more than other types of games would normally allow you to.

Basically this is an intense western waifu/husbando simulator taking place in an interesting universe and people want to stick around with their waifu and virtual friends.

Shepard remained a generic Bioware hero for all three games and as said by others earlier the characters are essentially replaced anyway between games since they have different writers and are changed so much they're either someone else or a flanderized version of their past selves. Shieet, they had to kill Shepard at the start of ME2 because he wasn't generic enough by the end of ME1.

The first game wasn't, I'd argue the waifushit and friend simulator parts are what made the sequels suck so hard. The cool RPG space opera parts and worldbuilding took a backseat to streamlined point and shooty and Whedon-esque characters and with that all verisimilitude went the way of the dodo.

Why can't the waifufags just play one of the many dating sim VNs that are pumped out in droves instead of hijacking pretty much the only recent space RPG?
>>
>>165436334

While you can absolutely make that argument with Liara , Garrus' arc in ME1 is that you take this guy under your wing and influence what his view on life is - paragon or renegade basically. ME2 just had Garrus be tilted by the death of Shepard and swing a bit renegade regardless of which path you took.

It was more in character than how they ignored the way you do the same with Kaidan. Renegade path with him made him a foaming at the mouth Cerberus candidate.

>>165437423
ME3 was not written by "entirely different people"

Like, you know the guy who took the lead in ME3 was the ME1 writer who created Garrus and Wrex right. Two of the most beloved characters in the series.

Every single one of these games is a collaborative effort anyway.

I don't, i liked him and romanced him, so shit like him calling you whatever-he-called-you without romance wasn't a problem for me.

Flashbacks were stupid, but the voice and design were good.

Hated how he was handled in ME3 and that he died to the worst character in the series

Mac Walters knows how to please waifufags and people who are looking for a friend sim but he was pretty bad at the grander story. Doesn't matter though, the point is that stretching a story out over several games will in all likelihood lead to suckitude. Even if the writers remain exactly the same it can still go south, just a vision change by management can fuck everything up. If a story is good you want it resolved within a single game. Now serialised games can still reuse characters and such but each game needs to be enjoyable on its own and feel satisfying and have a definite ending. The Witcher series does this very well, you don't go into the first game expecting an epic story over several games but three seperate games in the Witcher setting staring Geralt. The choices have consequences within each game and are not put on hold to be dealt with in a future game.

That's how I see it anyway.

And they still won't let you play as an alien. I want to play as volus and Jew the Andromeda aliens out of their hard earned space bucks. Or perhaps an Asari jism prism who came to Andromeda to explore strange new dicks, to seek out new life and new kinks, to boldly go where no slut has gone before..

Seriously, it would be fun as fuck to be able to play as an alien, even the more boring ones like Krogan.

Assuming Ashley's around 170cm, I'm guessing she weighs around 60kg.
Compared to Shepard, who I'm guessing weighs closer to 95kg, considering how jacked he is in ME3.
>>
>>165460218
Shep probably weighs a shitload more, considering how loaded up with cybernetics they are.
I'd guess femshep'd be around 110 kg, with broshep being around 140

Seems alright. Ronda Rousey is usually around that weight. I would suspect Liara would weight around 55kg, Jack even less considering her lifestyle.

The main point of modern prosthetics/cybernetics is to weight around the same as real thing, so that rest of the body doesn't react wrong.

what the hell do you think "heavy bone weave" is?
>>
>>165460796

You can upgrade the bones, muscles and skin, though.
But again, we don't know what it's composed of. You would think that the doctors would pick materials that are both strong and lightweight. Polymers, titanium metal foam, composites and so on.
>>
>>165462301
they're composed mainly of palladium, I think
>>
>>165461901
I think the worst thing about Shepard is that he wasn't even that special to begin with, he was just a grunt good at shooting at things and at one point he had a prothean vision. Also the first human spectre but that was quickly made irrelevant because space politics is too hard for the plebs to follow. Even so he's like the only proactive person in the entire galaxy, resurrected from the dead at one point and personal nemesis of an ancient evil that has existed for aeons.

I hope they won't jump the shark with massive stakes and ridiculous player ego stroking again.

That's usually how I picture her, too. Or women's American football (Legends Football League, in this case), they use a lot of legs and core, as well.

How about for Vanguard where you can roflstomp your way through shields with pure brute force?

Inferno grenades. Not like it matters, Vanguard doesn't really need anything.
IIRC from my adept playthrough, warp+throw explosions work better against shields than Energy Drain anyway.
>>
>>165477759
How does that work when you have to wait for two cooldowns? or are you using the ME1 cooldown mod?
>>
>>165477364
For the Vanguard I used either Energy Drain or Carnage. The latter for Fire Explosions.

I assume it works because Energy Drain has a relatively long cooldown, and warp+throw will also make all the guys around the shielded guy explode

energy drain is incredible. it's guaranteed to rid at least one enemy of its shield so that you can set up your biotic combos while reave might not do that in one go.

It did not. It was a flop. Never once made the NPD of top 10 best selling games. FarCry Primal? 4? which was released at the time did and that was a flop as well, for Ubisoft, IIRC.

Dig through the investor call for EA Q3 2015 yourself. I'm not the one spouting off unsourced bullshit.
>>
>>165483406
Check out the NPD records for Q3 2015 and Q1 2016, mother fucker. DA:I is never listed on the top 10 list. And during some of those months, the no. 10 game on that fucking list sold ~100k, so DA:I was selling less than 100k a month. Is the NPD mother fucking lying now?
>>
>>165482646
NPD doesn't cover digital sales but Bioware said DA:I sold better than any of their prior Dragon Age games.
>>
>>165482906
>most successful launch
that still doesn't mean it was a commercial success, you know?
they're constantly repeating that phrase when they're asked about DA:I, but nothing else. and we've never seen the actual numbers.
and I think it was 4 months after launch, it already went on sale on Origin.
>>
>>165483031

She's a non-character only serving as the edge lord choice for Samara's loyalty mission, nothing else.
>>
>>165483931
I can imagine the forecasts for it were low by EA given how poorly received DA2 was (so not a huge hurdle to clear), but if the sales were all that bad they would have cancelled the DLC like they did with Exalted March.
>>
>>165484108
we will certainly never know since they haven't released any numbers, but the fact that they are only fapping over the "most successful launch" and nothing else should tell you that sales weren't really that high and they went on an extreme bender after the first month already from the numbers that were released (those without digital sales)
>>
>>165483916
It is assumed to have sold 500k thanks to preorders and day 1 sales, but other than that, nothing concrete. And even that assumption is finicky, because EA never released actual numbers.
>>
>>165484820
I wonder how much they wasted on advertisment. I remember seeing DA:I ads in every single top- and sidebar of every single gaming related site there was 2 months before and after release.
>>
>>165485339
Considering ad space, promotional material, physical presence and the marketing team's cut? $10 mil. But I often hear ridiculous amounts of cash for marketing budget, like a 40$ million game spending the 30 mil on marketing and only investing 10 on the game itself. There was a specific game that this was true about, but I forget which one it was.

>>165503596
Having tried it out a bit more since my last post, it does indeed seem pretty amazing.
With the smart choke you can use it at medium distance (though it's not as hilariously accurate as the Wraith, obviously), and if you charge somewhere and there's 5 enemies in front of you you can just hold down the mouse button until they all die

While I think it will be mediocre, I genuinely hope that it doesn't do terribly, because knowing EA they'll just conclude ME has no potential anymore, gut Bioware in response, and effectively kill ME for good. I want some outcome where they get just enough bad sales/backlash to decide backpedaling on ME3's ending and leaving everything familiar behind was a bad idea. Not sure how realistic that is. Probably not very.
>>

It's actually the opposite. Only the "ME3 is the worst thing ever" echo chamber are negative about it.

Once they start the marketing push the majority will be on board with it just like they were with ME3 and DAI

The M-8 Avenger owns to Mass Effect 3 (BioWare) and the menu style is kinda similar to Destiny weapon upgrade menu (Bungie)

An idea of one of the weapons of Mass Effect 3 in Destiny (year 1): the famous M-8 Avenger! It's perks:
Solar Damage: Damage that affects badly the shields weak to burning or hot ammo.

Column 1 (Base of the weapon):
-CQB Ballistics: Greatly reduced recoil. Significant penalty to range.
-Linear Compensator: More predictable recoil. Slight boosts to range and impact. More recoil.
-Smart Drift Control: Predictable and controllable recoil. Penalty to range.

Third Eye: Radar stays active while aiming down this weapon's sights.

Column 2 (Personalizated upgrade):
-Perfect Balence: This weapon has extremely low recoil
-High Caliber Rounds: Oversize rounds built to stagger enemies and leave them reeling. Their mass makes a weapon harder to handle.
-Quickdraw: This weapon can be drawn unbelievably fast.

Exotic perk: Plasma rounds: The last middle of the charger probably can make the target not to recover part of it's heal.

Since rannoch is so hot, I imagine quarians are nocturnal to escape the worst of the heat. that could explain the stupidly reflective/glowy eyes.

But I don't think she'd be up all night.

so the weapons in the ME universe are basically rail guns, except the slugs are propelled by mass effect magic, right? then how is it possible that there's sniper rifles and assault rifles? they're roughly the same size so they can have a mass effect generator of the same size, why would the power and rate of fire be different?

A rocket launches soon!

IRIDIUM-1 MISSION

SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket will deliver 10 satellites to low-Earth orbit for Iridium, a global leader in mobile voice and data satellite communications. The 10 satellites are the first of at least 70 satellites that SpaceX will be launching for Iridium’s next generation global satellite constellation, Iridium NEXT.

SpaceX is targeting launch of Iridium-1 from Space Launch Complex 4E at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. The instantaneous launch window opens on January 14 at 9:54:39 am PST or 5:54:39 pm UTC. The satellites will begin deployment about an hour after launch.

Is there anything better (and, incidentally, more hilarious) in ME1 than an Adept with Decryption bonus power and Liara + Wrex as a squad?
>>
>>165556765
Length of rails. Capacitor capacity. Heat dissipation per shot. Optics. Weight.
Some factors could probably be adjusted on the fly but not all. Unless you've got a modular weapon, but it's easier in combat to just grab another gun than to fiddle with attachments.
>>
So during the videos in the Javik recruitment mission, his VI says "Reaper forces have destroyed approximately 300,000 life pods"
This is fucking nonsense,because as we know from Liara's dialog when working on the Crucible, Protheans use base 12 mathematics
So basically in the original Protheam system the VI said "Reaper forces have destroyed approximately 402,854 life pods"
What kind of a fucking approximation is that?

>>165561485
you underestimate how fast they are when in orbit. the ISS for example does almost 16 earth orbits a day (7.67 km/s or 27,600 km/h) so getting far enough away for each satellite to have its own orbit without risk of hitting each other isn't the problem, it's rather how they fine-tune it so that it gets dropped off at the exact time and in the proper vector and speed and everything to keep the projected orbit. that shit is even made easy nowadays due to computers and everything, but think back to Apollo 13, the astronauts themselves literally had to calculate their return vector and speed from the moon to earth and when to drop off their lunar module by hand (though they sent the data back to mission control to let it get double-checked by academics, but it was still guesswork since they didn't know their absolute exact positioning etc), one mistake and they'd have been shot off into space or burned in the atmosphere.

Because with coilguns, barrel length wouldn't be such a huge deal, while in rail guns they'd determine everything. I mean a longer barrel is still preferable (e.g. cheaper) because a shorter barrel means more force exerted by each individual coil to achieve the same level of performance as a longer barrel with more, smaller coils... but stuff like the upgrade text just making weapons more powerful by inserting a stronger and more expensive ME generator still make sense, and heavy pistols don't become a completely impossible to rationalize weapon category.

Haven't played ME1 in a long-ass time, gonna do an adept playthrough
Shields don't matter for shit in 1, right? I can just lift and throw whoever I want eve nthrough shields?
Also, am I right in remembering that warp is fucking useless in this game?
>>
>>165582240
shields matter at the beginning when you don't have any regeneration mods
>>
>>165582718
I mean enemy shields and their inability to stop enemies from getting lifted
>>
>>165582240

Biotics aren't affected by the shields, they go right through.
They went full retard with that in the sequels, though.
>can't warp, throw or lift an enemy because of kinetic barriers
wat

I haven't played the games in a while, but doesn't armour also stop biotics?
>>
>>165582240
No, enemy shields don't matter.
Warp makes enemies take a lot more damage, I wouldn't call that useless.
>>
>>165583234
Biotics are shit, at least in ME 2. I'm a soldierfag and i decided to finally try that blue magic for the first time. In ME 1 it was pretty good on adept, then i've chosen sentinel in 2 and Jesus, i'm considering restart to go full adrenaline again.
>>
>>165583272
I mean useless comapred to all the other adept skills
From what I remember, you just stunlock everything on the field so damage really doesn't matter compared to getting longer lift duration
>>165583234
It's especially shit on the highest difficulties in ME2 where absolutely everything has shields or barriers
It's fine in ME3 though, they have enough red health enemies running around
>>
>>165583538
ME2 biotics are shit, yes. they become overpowered again in ME3.
ME1 biotics were all about crowd control, ME3 biotics are sheer damage output from chaining biotic explosions. ME2 biotics are just shit since if you finally removed shields/barriers/armor off an enemy he's dead in seconds anyway so why bother.
>>
>>165583538
I'd definitely say restarting is worth it, the most fun possible in ME2 is activating adrenalien rush and putting an entire Mattock cli pinto Harbinger's stupid head with pinpoint accuracy while he's still taking control

I agree. It's lewd and lovely no matter with who. Either Tali with her crotch-flap open, or Miranda with her tits flopping around in her open jackets.
>>
>>165583538
>sentinel in 2
But Sentinel has warp and overload, it's like the perfect class to strip enemy defenses in 2. It's pretty boring, sure, but if you want fun you should be playing Vanguard anyway.
>>
>>165584285
It might very well be the strongest because its main balancing factor (fire rate) suddenly increases a whole fucking lot when you turn on adrenaline rush
>>
>>165584297
that sentinel armor looks annoying as fuck though
>>
>>165584297
I don't think I could go back to ME2 vanguards after 3
You have the exact same problem with the defenses and you're just constantly scrambling to make it to the next charge cooldown
In 3 you can set up a lot of explosions with triple target charge and nova and that makes it a lot more fun
I also think the shotguns might be stronger but that could just be because incendiary ammo is so fucking glitched
>>
>>165584607
Well not exactly. You can't reload on adrenaline so it's more like 100% accuracy and bonus damage. Normally you waste few shots when the target is moving.
>>
>>165584913
I recently did a Vanguard playthrough.
It's certainly not as OP as in 3, and you have to sit in cover and use SMGs quite a lot(on Insanity), but it's still way more fun than other classes. Especially after getting Claymore.
Melee attack is also surprisingly useful in 2 and can almost stunlock.
>>
>>165585016
That isn't my experience whatsoever
>activate adrenaline rush (skilled for time dilation and damage, I think it was called heightened adrenaline rush?)
>shoot any enemy's head
>enemy will be staggered a bit
>your insane time dilation allows you to empty however many shots you need into the head
I simply cannot stress enough how much fucking damage it does, and your entire magazine is damage boosted by the rush
>>
>>165585663
Forgot to mention that adrenaline rush raises the firing rate to insane levels for a semi-automatic, which is what makes emptying the entire mag possible in the first place
Goddamnit /meg/ now I feel like playing ME2 again
>>
>>165585663
>I simply cannot stress enough how much fucking damage it does, and your entire magazine is damage boosted by the rush
Agreed. The only think you cannot destroy with one clip :^) is that annoying big fuck that becomes invulnerable when you hurt him a little. Praetor or some other quaestor

I've been replaying ME1 and it's kind of cringy hearing Sovereign say stuff like "you organic lifeforms cannot possibly understand the great plan of us Reapers" and "we have no origin, we are eternal, we've been here since the beginning"
I guess Sovereign was the chuuni of the group
>>
>>165587878
I GET IT
>>
>>165588356
He was probably manipulative, trying to intimidate Shep. Harbinger was similiar in Arrival
>>
>>165587878
Remember when Origin updated ME2 and this scene is basically cut for all waifus? not that Tali is a waifu in any case, you sick fucks

>>
>>165588947
>Remember when Origin updated ME2 and this scene is basically cut for all waifus?
Playing on original version, what are you? Gay?
>>
>>165588356
The biggest discrepancy I notice when replaying ME1 is how Shepard, regardless of alignment, (logically) hates and distrusts AIs, like the rest of the galaxy. One auto dialogue response when talking to Sovereign is even "You're not even alive, not really. You're just a machine. And machines can be broken." (incidentally, today I just noticed one of Tali's lines when fighting geth is "we made you, we can break you!"). There are very few occasions where Shepard can potentially contradict that attitude, and these occasions are never shown as justified (e.g. trying to negotiate with the Credit VI just gives it more time to self-destruct and kill you). Then suddenly in ME2 Paragon Shepard is a pro-AI hippy who 100% trusts the words of e.g. Legion unconditionally, seemingly for no reason at all since the rest of the galaxy still hates AIs and Shepard's experience with them (particularly geth) is consistently 100% negative.

Where are her guns?

Great shot either way though, too bad Shepard and Tali couldn't picnic near that waterfall after killing all the Blue Suns. Looks like a comfy area.
>>
>>165589447
That is so fucking shitty that we you talk to Tali ( dropping waifuism ) even in ME1 all your responses when she talks how they tried to shut Geth down are "But they were defending themselves, ree!". I mean ok, you can disagree with her/quarians at all but at least give me an option to fucking agree.
Why can't you rape synthetics all the way?
>>
>having fun charging everywhere and novaing people to death
>finally get Wraith and some smart choke upgrades
>turns out it is way more effective to just stay in cover and kill everyone from 30 meters away
>>
>>165590270
That line, in addition to being illogical (you don't "self-defense" billions of civilians away) and ridiculously railroaded, is just so bizarrely out of character for the responses Shepard takes throughout the rest of the game. It makes even less sense given that the geth are 100% hostile to non-quarians as well and, as far as Shepard knows, the geth have now gone on to try to wipe out humanity as well. So it's not like he can say negotiation would work.
>>
>>165589873
I wouldn't think they'd have a picnic.
But maybe a quiet moment when they wait for the shuttle. Just sitting by the landing area, talking and fondling her
>>
>>165590270
>Why can't you rape synthetics all the way?
Because BioWare loves the shit out of synthetics.
You have 4 possible endings in ME3 and 3 of them lead to the synthetics surviving
>>
Krogans have 4 testicles.

That is all.
>>
>>165590696
Agreed. Also that argument "These are only heretics! Real Geth are peaceful!" is pretty shitty considering that this kewl ones still almost butchered an entire race into non-existence, and don't give a fuck about their "heretics". They never bother communicating, they also rape everyone tresspasing on them.
I don't give a shit about people's choices because that's rpg but holy dick, you can decide on so much shit but you must remain synthetic cuck no matter what until Rannoch. Even then it's a "hard" choice for you.

Need help. [Mass effect 2]

Originally tried to romance Tali as femshep because Tali is qt3.14 virgin with 10/10 hips.

Figured out the hard way that since this game wasn't released in the year of our good lord 2016/2017 you can't be a lesbian alien lover.

Made new game with male Shep, but this time I accidentally explored Jacks "story" and she seems pretty cute and shit when she opens up about how hurt she is or whatever.

Can't decide.

So. Basically.

>qt3.14 shy virgin alien girl who loves me.
or
>Psychotic baldie who is actually a little scared girl, not virgin though and not lovesick about shep (that I've noticed).

It doesn't help that Jack looks 10/10 in ME3 from the photos I've seen. But I'd like to think I'd choose love over looks.

Halp
>>
>>165594830

Just do playthroughs of both. Tali might be a better choice since she gets more time in ME3 than Jack.

>>
>>165604385

Yes, the monastery is mentioned multiple times in ME2.

The codex openly states that the Asari use their political and economic power to suppress public knowledge of how widespread the Ardat-Yakshi truly are among the Asari, and that AY are functionally quarantined as part of that deception.

There's no inconsistency.
>>
>>165604385
>I don't think the monastery was mentioned in 2, was it? She just said her 2 daughters stay away from people I thought

The monastery is mentioned in 2 in little notes around the game. Like the honey you buy from the citadel, I think the two asari on ilium near where you buy the star charts also have some barks about ardat-yakshi/purebloods so you can assume this is something well known among asari that goes beyond just Samara's 2 daughters.
>>
>>165603849

I thought that the Banshees were just regular Asari that had been reaperified and given biotic implants and shit.

But another possible theory is that since the Reapers are a million years old they could have accumulated those banshees over time and kept them on ice until Shepman shows up to save the day.

But that's just a theory, a gayme theory

>But another possible theory is that since the Reapers are a million years old they could have accumulated those banshees over time and kept them on ice until Shepman shows up to save the day.

Why would they have harvested Asari before the end of this current cycle? Speaking of, according to the events of ME2: Arrival and the chatter in ME3, the Batarians were gobbled up first. Why isn't there a reaper/batarian enemy in the game?

Miranda is hard-coded to be nearly unkillable because she's the one who gives you all the mission exposition.

She can only die by taking her to the boss fight while disloyal, or during the holding the line part only if you set it up very specifically. And that method requires basically the entire team getting hamburgered during that segment alongside her I'm pretty sure. If I remember right you have to take Garrus to the boss fight and not have recruited both Grunt and Zaeed.

I've had Miranda be my only hold the line casualty before. The non-loyal squadmates will always take first priority in the death order in that sequence, and I sided with Jack in their argument.

Summary of /v/ leaks so far:

Spoilered just in case it's not complete bullshit...


*4 Main Arks (Human, Asari, Turian, Salarian)
*Krogan are included only in Nexus as part of a military force.
*Hanar/Volus/Elcor may make cameo appearances on the Nexus. Quarians are up in the air and likely wont be in this game at all.
*Angaran Squadmate confirmed
*Arks have gone missing and you won't even encounter all of them in ME:A (he says he thinks the Asari ark even crashed hard somewhere)
*Start of the game you find out the habitats that had been probed 600 years earlier are no longer viable/hospitable, story is to find out what happened (Remnants)
*Hyperion is heavily damaged, as is the Nexus. Communications are out between Nexus and all Arks, implied that all Arks have had trouble arriving to Helius cluster.
*Hyperion sends you to Human's designated Habitat to check things out (tutorial). DadRyder goes missing, non-PC Ryder gets paralyzed due to some weird gravitational event during extraction from Human Habitat, your PC becomes Pathfinder.
*Each ark also has a multi-species staff, like Asari, due to the differing lifespans and advantages of some being able to wake up on and off during the trip.
*Every new species that has a female counterpart has been modeled/appears in game.
*Main explorable planets have areas slightly larger than largest areas in DA:I.
*More confined side mission zones for landing/exploration.
*Main quest is not gated by power points/side mission completion.

Jack's romance is superior in ME2 IMO because Tali is basically a teenager with a crush whereas Jack's character develops as a result of your loving, tender relationship.
While Tali does get more time in ME3 that doesn't change the value of the romances for me.
>>
>>165594830
Jack's is pretty creepy imo with the relative forcefulness and the implication of the healing dick, and it doesn't really feel organic at all that Shepard would be attracted to her given she's a crazy murderer who he's known for about a month tops by the time the romance starts and who is very hostile up until the last couple conversations.

So Tali. With the added bonus that it actually feels like a relationship built on an already strong friendship. Though Garrus's does that particular bit slightly better.

So the sibling is just effectively written out instead of becoming a squadmate? Lame.
>Main explorable planets have areas slightly larger than largest areas in DA:I.
That will only mean something if there's shit to do in those areas. A lot of DAI felt dead because they made the big maps but didn't put anything in them.

Overall, I think they focused on the wrong things. Devoting a lot of the game to organizing the races we already know seems like a dumb development compromise that will make the game boring. It sounds like they took DAO and dropped it into DAI.
I would have much preferred a Star Trek vibe to exploring a new galaxy. This just seems like an action game masquerading as sci-fi.

>>
>>165635609
I really just don't buy her development in ME3. That's not just romance-related (serial killer to hip school teacher just like that?). But romance stuff too. Feels like she 180s too quickly from where she was at the end of ME2, and gives way too much attention to a guy she knew for ~2 months
and only talked to at any length for about half that time.

Maybe it's because I'm actually keeping the timeline in mind, but the only ones who feel like they work at all in this regard are Garrus, Tali, and I guess Jacob because they don't try to pretend he actually loves Shepard. Plus Thane maybe? You can say he's just depressed.
>>
>>165594830
Tali's is way more satisfying. All the ME2 squadmates suffer a major downgrade in relevancy in ME3. It's a real shame because Jack is great. Though I think her romance could have been handled way better in ME2...It felt kind of manipulative? She was in a very vulnerable place and just I don't know it didn't sit well with me.
>>
>>165635927
Jack's never a serial killer though. She was someone who had to be incredibly hard edged because their life was shit, basically someone who lived a life where noone had their back, who found someone who did. So things turned around for her.
>>
>>165635409
>Jack's is pretty creepy imo
Creepier than Tali's? She's a fangirl. Shepard is basically fucking his stalker.
>with the relative forcefulness
Jack is more forceful. Way more forceful. She basically tries to rape you the first time you talk to her on the Normandy.
>and the implication of the healing dick
Say what you will about the plot contrivance and social implications, but that shit is true. Damn near ever nutso, "damaged" girl can be cured, or at least treated with the healing dick. I used to exclusively date "damaged" chicks and the combination of being emotionally open and generous with the dicking changed them. One such chick had been molested by her dad AND his friends for like 5 years. She was a cutter, had a bunch garish tattoos(can't make this shit up), gauged ears, that weird mohawk+sideburn-tails combo, and was on several medications for depression. Six months of healing dick later she was off her medication(with her doctor's approval), wasn't cutting, and looked like a normal, productive member of society. She was so normal she wanted kids and shit.
>>
>>165635927
>I really just don't buy her development in ME3.
Yeah, that was a last-minute contrivance because she was supposed to be a squadmate rather than a cameo.
>>
>>165636035
>Jack's never a serial killer though.

She was a pirate for a while, volunteers to execute people in future piracy, joined a cult, killed the cult, and significantly damaged a moon by crashing a space station into it; she killed a lot of people, many of whom probably didn't deserve it. She also flat-out admits to having committed murder multiple times, and the use of word indicates that she wasn't acting in self-defense in these unspecified cases.

Also, realistically someone as messed up as Jack does not go from 0 to 100 in just three months (the rough timeline of ME2). I know that it's not impossible for someone to do that. But it just feels off to me. Maybe they just went overboard on her edgelord backstory with the non-stop torture and rape.
>>
>>165636274
>Creepier than Tali's? She's a fangirl.

She really isn't, this is basically a meme. She's one of the only squadmates with a spine in regards to Shepard, and the romance with the most potential fail points.

>Jack is more forceful. Way more forceful. She basically tries to rape you the first time you talk to her on the Normandy.

I never recall her trying to rape anyone.

If that's true than anyone who talks on social media about their crush is a stalker.
>>
>>165636832
>She opines for Shepard in her diaries like a 13 year old grill.

Because she says she wishes Shepard were there once on Haestrom? Seeing as how by the time she made that log she'd just seen him/her come back from the dead a week ago, says that regardless of whether Shepard is male or female, and also says she misses the Normandy team in general immediately before (having been led by Shepard on expeditions that basically made her a celebrity on the Migrant Fleet), I don't see the big deal. Especially since her reaction to Shepard's death was arguably the most understated of the main five. Kaidan and Ashley without a doubt have a more emotional reaction when you meet them, Liara goes crazy and becomes a revenge obsessed mob boss for two years, and Garrus basically throws his life away to become a vigilante.

Also, did you mean "pine"?

Yeah, Garrus is pretty fucked up and it only gets worse once Shepard dies. I think people just don't really think about it much because Garrus is such a sweetheart, and he's pretty much the only party member who doesn't vomit their angsty backstory all over you. All the problems he's had are just sort of implied, at least until he gets his team killed in ME2.

I mean, he starts out as a bitter cop who plays fast and loose with the rules and does shit like beat up suspects. He leaves his job at the drop of a hat (possibly doesn't even tell C-Sec he's leaving) to join a human Alliance team all because of a grudge against a Spectre he's never actually met. Plus, he's on bad terms with his family and had to have left the military very early to have all those years of C-Sec experience, and both of those suggest that there's a lot more to the Disapproving Dad story that he never talks about.

Then Shepard dies and he totally cracks.
>>
>>165641194
>I think people just don't really think about it much because Garrus is such a sweetheart

Garrus in ME1 is a huge prick who does stuff like beat suspects, get annoyed when you tell him to follow rules, advocate blowing up a ship full of civilians to kill one criminal, and tell his 'friends' that they're responsible for the actions of their species and that their races deserve to get genocided. He only becomes a "bro" by ME2, by which time he IS vomiting his angsty backstory all over you.

Well, his angsty backstory is his own fuckup and his way of dealing with it is to go full Kaz ALL FOR REVENGE.

Garrus didn't even want to be a C-sec officer either, If the comics are anything to go by, he cancelled the scholarship to whatever university it was he was going to because his mom was injured and in the hospital. Do we even know if he wanted to be anything regarding the military? He could barely shoot back then.

Am I understanding Leviathan correctly (I guess this is all information given by the starkid already but it just drives home how stupid it is)?
The Leviathan race created Reapers to find a way to stop those dang lesser races from making synthetics that destroy them all the time, so the Reapers found "just kill all the advanced races to save life in general" as a solution?
This basically means the Reapers went from unknowable destructive force in ME1 to "hurr durr we forgot to program the 3 laws of robotics into them so their solution was to wipe us out durr hurr" sci fi cliches
>>
>>165654105
You got it. Add in the mass relays, left in place to make cycles shorter and shorter.
>>
>>165654405
That's also info we had before, because the mass relays SOMEHOW allow life to evolve in a way the Reapers can foresee
Not sure what happens if a species develops FTL somewhere where there's no mass relay but whatever
>>
>>165654105
No, the Leviathans didn't create the Reapers.

They created an AI system to manage their vassal races throughout the galaxy and stop them from being destroyed by their synthetic creations. The AI eventually calculated that the way to fulfill it's order to preserve all life was to harvest it and turn it into what would become the Reapers when it reached the organic vs synthetic stage of life.

The three laws were never relevant - the Leviathans actual mistake was that they never specified that they themselves were not to be 'protected' in the same fashion, so the AI started with them first, making them the first Reaper and template for all future ones.
>>

Yeah ok that's fair enough, they didn't directly create the Reapers
>The three laws were never relevant - the Leviathans actual mistake was that they never specified that they themselves were not to be 'protected' in the same fashion
That's literally what the 3 laws are for, bro
I'd say they should have even applied them to all advanced lifeforms, because if you just wipe out a race that could potentially create synthetics who wipe them out, you're left with the same problem as before: One less race to worship you

Everyone develops FTL, it's just not relevant when the Relays are there. Relays are faster, more efficient, and point everybody towards all the worlds that suit them.

I think you talk to some Asari across the games who bring up exploring via FTL more, or even trying to create new Relays to travel to different places, but the people who try to push it aren't taken seriously.

I guess with Andromeda we find out humans are the only ones dumb enough to really push for the idea of travel to another galaxy at a time when human expansion in known space is already relatively minimal, and the Relays lanes themselves are only partially explored

Can someone explain this small moment right at the start of Priority: Rannoch to me:
>Legion says he still has the Reaper code upgrades
>this somehow allows him to hack any Geth security (even though those Geth should have the same upgrades, but whatever)
>he's ashamed for keeping that a secret
>Shepard: "How did we get here? The Geth are better than this."
>Legion: "No, based on empirical evidence, they are not."
What? Shepard's like "oh man guys HOW DID THIS DRAMA HAPPEN GUYS" just because Legion hid that fact from him? The fuck?
It's just so incongruous with anything that was said before
>>
>>165655594
at least three
personally, I'm hoping for about a dozen, but I doubt we'll be that lucky. especially since they showed Ryder fighting Milky Way races
>>
>>165655723
The Geth knew the Reapers were bad news, didn't want any part of the Reapers 'gifts' to improve themselves

Quarians actions force the Geth into the arms of the Reapers anyway

Legion, even after being freed from that influence, kept those Reaper improvements despite the Geth's previous stated disapproval of them

What do we know about the Tempest? Like they said it doesn't have a main gun, but does it at least have missiles for self-defense? Or is it essentially the ultimate pirate ship, designed for pure stealth and speed and relying solely on boarding parties for offensive capabilities?

That's not what they did, though. Incremental upgrades to allow them to do more complex tasks. What they didn't account for, was the self-development of the networked thinking the geth have, where the 'intelligence' increases the more geth you in proximity.

There's a lot of problems with the AI thing in ME.

Humans anthropomorphize everything, and there's been a lot of evidence that we're just as kind to robots and machine programs as we are to people, if not even nicer. (I mean, just look at the comments on any Boston Dynamics vid. A tech pushes Big Dog over to demonstrate it's self-righting capabilities and ten million people rush to the comment section to say how sad it made them. Big Dog is a fucking refrigerator with legs, sounds like a screaming swarm of hell hornets, and looks like a nightmarish Terminator warhound, and we still feel bad when we see it fall down.) We haven't even created AIs yet, and people all over the world are already working on how to treat them ethically when we do.

I guess you could handwave it by saying that Quarian empathy doesn't work the same as it does for humans, that maybe humans have hyper-developed empathy.

Then add in the fact that there would be very little to gain if an AI attempted to rebel. With the geth at least it makes sense, because the Quarians essentially built them into an army and then attempted to kill them.

But, for an AI like EDI? She could take over the Normandy, but sooner or later the galactic militaries will figure out a way to destroy the ship. And why would she bother? It's not like AIs are being worked unfairly. Everyone works. Everyone on the ship likes her and they're all working together. And it's not like she has some sort of need that isn't being met, either, unlike any organic she'd meet. She doesn't need food or vacation time and she has no biological social drive. And any unfairness she encounters, she would know that it also applies to organics as well. If someone's an ass to her, well, some people are horrible to other humans too.

As I've said before, the books (i.e. Ascension) state that the quarians have very little variance in height and build and pretty much all look the same as other quarians of the same gender in their suits.

Her romance is pretty weak, dude. I mean, I like Liara, but the writing was really bad.

All three of the ME1 romances are kind of shitty, but hers especially since it's based on pretty much nothing other than you touched a Prothean beacon and now she's weirdly obsessed with you. At least with Kaidan and Ashley and the romances in other games you have to spend some time together and presumably establish some sort of connection. Liara just kind of falls in love with you immediately based on nothing.

She's sweet, and I liked some scenes, but honestly the best scenes aren't even romance exclusive, and in the case of her final mindmeld goodbye the non-romance version is imo even more touching than the romance version. Liara resting her head on your shoulder as you both look out onto the dawn horizon has a lot more emotional weight than kissing her as you both ignore what she wanted to show you.

Garrus used it to shoot down a vehicle specifically described as "heavily armored", so yeah. It also kicks like a mule despite being one of the heavier sniper rifles (2 weight units or twice as heavy as the Avenger, so ~8 kg) and its in-game base damage actually isn't too far off from the Black Widow (700 v 998 iirc). Also it is one of the only sniper rifles that generates so much heat that it must eject a heatsink with every shot. I'm pretty sure it's a light AMR equivalent.
>>

So, three unique ones with another based on one of those already existing.
>>
>>165682198
>Garrus used it to shoot down a vehicle specifically described as "heavily armored"

Cutscene powers and/or Bioware using one kind of weapon per class in cutscenes.

>It also kicks like a mule despite being one of the heavier sniper rifles (2 weight units or twice as heavy as the Avenger, so ~8 kg)

I wouldn't use this as anything substantial since animations are reused on all 'bolt-action' sniper rifles.

>its in-game base damage actually isn't too far off from the Black Widow

The Black Widow was purposefully made weaker to give the use more rounds per heatsink.

The Mantis is also not ever referred to as an anti-materiel rifle, as opposed to the others.

It wasn't a cutscene, it was referenced in dialogue.

No actually, each weapon has a given in-game recoil value. It can be modified with certain weapon mods.

That's actually the damage of the Widow I put, not the Black Widow.
