>>165948521

Nope. That was another dumb fan thing, then Bioware went the meme route and made Aethyta say it about Benezia's tits.

>>165948521
>not beating all the teeth out of their mouths and choking them to death on your cock

do you even Cerberus, bro?

>>165947019
They all fire bullets.

The codex mentions that other species had discovered gunpowder before. The krogan for example. Gunpowder weaponry is just inherently inefficient.

>>165948884
No, Joker even mentions it that "Asari have cockpits. Oh wait, no they don't."

Guys, give me the worst alien designs in science fiction.

I'll start.

>>165949216

Why didn't you put loudness and recoil for the Mass Effect weapons?

As for ammo, it's really not expensive, and with mass effect technology you still need advanced electromagnets, high energy density battery or power source, a mass effect core, eezo, the other internal parts that do the shaving and inserting into the barrel, etc.

>>165949424

Vulcans. Humans with pointy ears, that's literally it. Or orions, with just green skin.
Not particularly creative.

Haven't played Mass Effect ever since 3 came out and I totally forgot that you can't romance proper female aliens as Femshep. Wanted to romance Tali goddamnit.

Makes me sad that there'll never be female human x female Turian/Qunari/Salarian romance. Damn you Bioware.

>>165949726
>female human x female Turian
There is a female Turian in ME:A and all characters must be bi now lest someone be offended, so don't worry

>>165949574
>Why didn't you put loudness and recoil for the Mass Effect weapons?

Basic physics. Coilguns dont use propellant. No propellant means less mass expelled, means less momentum, means less recoil energy. If they literally just remade modern guns with ME technology, keeping bullet weight, recoil energy, and weapon weight the same, the rounds would be blessed to be fired at a higher velocity and pack 80% more kinetic energy to produce the same recoil. You can confirm this by plugging values into one of the many online recoil energy calculators.

Rather important when the codex mentions that recoil is the main and practically only limiter on small arms power in the era of ME technology.

>>165949726
Just hold your nose and play BroShep so Tali can get some long desired human dicking.

Why do people prefer Femshep over maleshep?

>>165949929
Haven't kept up at all with Andromeda because I wasn't really interested, especially after I saw those shitty face/body animations as typical for Bioware.
But if there is fem/fem turian romance I might buy it just for that.
Was playing Omega today for the first time and thought that female turian was cute.

>>165950673
Maleshep is funnier as Renegade and Femshep is beter for Paragon.

>Galactic Standard Time
>The inhabitants of Citadel Council Space utilize a standardized time system. This system is different from the Terran Coordinated Universal Time relied on by humans in that:
> A galactic standard day comprises 20 hours.
>Each hour comprises 100 minutes.
>Each minute comprises 100 seconds.
>Each second is half as long as a human second.
>As a result, a twenty-hour galactic standard day is 15.7% longer than a standard twenty-four hour Terran Coordinated Universal day, which means it lasts 27 hours, 46 minutes, and 40 seconds in Earth-based time.
>A galactic standard year is described as being an average of asari, salarian, and turian years and only 1.09 times longer than an Earth year. This means that a galactic standard year consists of 398.114 Earth days or 343.97 galactic standard days.

I just love how obviously traced that Turian is when compared to that shitty Ryder

You basically spend five minutes charge following her across the field

vanguard must be the most boring class to play just using the same powers over and over in the same combination

>>165970998
I've played every class except for Engineer and Vanguard is the one I consistently have the most fun with
Especially on Insanity when you're 0.5 seconds away from death at any given moment when using a Vanguard

>>165971239
I think it's fair to say the only fun classes in ME2 are Vanguard (for the reason you said) and Soldier (just fucking obliterate everything)
Infiltrator and Adept could be fun if there weren't so many fucking defenses on Insanity

>>165970956

That Ryder is good and cute

>>165972242

whats your problem

>>165972281
calm your titties kiddo

>>165971798
I find vanguard to be the most fun starting out but the most boring once you're levelled. Charge goes from high risk high reward to free easy kills and a get out of jail free card. It's why I never liked vanguard in me3 that much, there just isn't much risk when you know that charge/nova will let you get away with fucking up. Infiltrator in me3 has to be my favourite, just running around back stabbing guys and setting off tech combos is really fun but at the same time you're one misstep from death. Which is odd as I never really liked the infiltrator in me1/2, I guess it's the fact that in 3 it's more of a typical rpg sneaky rogue whereas in the others it's a pretty bland sniper class.

>>165972893
Dude, even the fucking Husks had armor in ME2, right?
>needing two shots of a slow-ass firing weapon for a motherfucking husk
No thanks

>>165972281
Shotgun infiltrator does that without a "oh shit I fucked up" button. Give it a try it's actually a really fun build that doesn't go off the deep end of overpowered like vanguard does.

>>165972893
Everything having shields and armour was fucking bullshit in me2. 3 handles it far better.

>>165973203
>I guess it's the fact that in 3 it's more of a typical rpg sneaky rogue
Why, because of the melee damage boosts you can get?
I played Infiltrators in ME3 as a typical "stay glued to cover and headshot every single enemy" class, mostly used cloaks to run away from FUCKING GRENADES FUCK and boost damage against Brutes and such
I wouldn't agree that Vanguards don't have much risk, charging into a group of Cannibals usually means you throw off two or so while there's still 3 left at the edge of your AoE range and those will just keep firing at you as if you didn't just charge across the entire field
Basically, you will still get shot to shit and you definitely need the 1 or 2 seconds of invincible nova animation to not die

>>165973610
1 handled it the best. Half the abilities that are blocked by shields really shouldn't be.

>>165973750
I guess there isn't really any difference between ME1 and ME3 in how much adepts can just fuck up entire enemy waves, though for different reasons

>>165973614
Yeah the melee buffs were fun but also the improvements to cloak, it let you set up ambushes and move around much better than in 2, in which it may as well have been a simple damage boost half the time. Vanguard is at zero risk in 3 if you take half blast nova, you get full i frames in between charges, it really killed the fun for me.

>>165973948
>half blast nova
Oh right, I keep forgetting that exists
Yeah okay if you take that upgrade, the only reason you could ever die is from standing around next to a Banshee

>>165973750
I was fine with 3 giving tougher enemies protection from biotics, in 1 you could cc entire rooms like a joke. Although with how fucking aggressive the ai was in 1 it was kind of needed.

>>165937054
Is this official?
Everything pre release has a nice vibe.

I wonder if you could take cloak AND charge in andromeda, could make for a neat melee build.

>>165974139
Well the question you really gotta ask yourself is if you wanna be overpowered as hell by stunlocking tough enemies with biotic explosions while everyone around them just dies, or if you wanna be overpowered as hell by stunlocking everything you encounter with biotics
I'll never get over the fact that all the biotic abilities work on the final boss, that was so amazing

>>165973243
who the fuck plays ME2? it so much inferior in ever aspect to the other 2 games. wtf lol

then you didnt understand the discussion which was clearly about classes and their powers and not about tela vasir.
follow a coherent thought process next time xDDD

>>165974778
Because your shitpost about ME2 was totally part of the discussion, right? :^)

>>165970870
Vasir is the easiest fight ever. Have Liara hit her with Stasis, wait til it runs out, shoot her while she flops on the ground helplessly. Repeat.

Being able to hit enemies with sabotage then finish them with a cloaked heavy melee made 3s infiltrator so much fun. Or just using cloak to pull guys over cover to finish them. Way more fun than sitting back and sniping. Although it's fun in 2 if you take a shotgun and Kasumis flash bang as well.

>Charging from target to target while invis finishing them with a melee attack

Well the dai team is in charge now (god help us) and the rogue class in that was kind of like that. The crazy shit you could do as a rogue is the only reason I finished that game, it was pretty fun.

>>165975108
>Or just using cloak to pull guys over cover to finish them
Are you talking about that heavy melee ability over cover that is introduced in the Mars tutorial? Thanks for making me finally realize the one situation you can actually use that in without dying
>>165974956
Don't enemies immediately die if stasis runs out while they're in mid-air? Can you use that glitch on her?
>>165975264
Well it's not like there's a single good romance option, so we might as well

>>165975481
Yeah, it's actually a really fun way way to take guys down as an infiltrator in me3. Melee infiltrator is fun as fuck, you can one shot backstab brutes by the end.

Meanwhile, as a rogue

And there was that one emblem or whatever the weird upgrade items were called that gave you +100% stamina but -50% stamina regeneration which didn't fucking matter because stamina regen is a percentage of your max stamina, not a fixed number

I never played this shit and had no idea what I was reading. no wonder /meg/'s quality has greatly decayed in the last few month

>>165975886
The rogue class that could throw down bombs and trans got even more insane, there was a move that used all of you stamina to throw a fuck tone of grenades down, and a passive that gave you stamina back for each crit, each made you threw down could crit. Every fight was pretty much you just flying around with daggers in the middle of a fireworks show, so much fun. Thinking back on it tempts me to replay it but then I remember how every area was like a dead mmo server kills that notion.

>>165975886

No they're not. The DAI team literally have nothing to do with this game. MEA is by Bioware Montreal, a dedicated Mass Effect sub studio that among other things, was solely responsible for ME3s multiplayer.

They're awful, like the rest of the UI. The icons have changed though, Cora has a side cut now. Neither Liam nor Cora have hair that you'd associate with black people. Whatever black romance there is is probably someone who isn't a squadmate.

Weren't there female turians in ME3 multiplayer that looked better than this without the shitty human mouth?

>>165996736
its just the angle of her face, she has a turian mouth, its just bad resolution but if you look closely you can see the plates

>Costa
Is he Italian? Portuguese? Spanish? The fuck king of nigger would have a last name like "Costa"

I don't think thats a black last name. and how is that a red flag?

>>165936147
You subhuman baboon. You literal Kraut.
How dare you speak, you swarthy Black Forest monkey. How dare you open your big chinned, large jawed, bratwurst smelling mouth?
You are human trash, Hans Wolfgang Friedrich von Abdullah. Universally despised, derided and mocked. Your nationality and self-hatred offers no hope to the world that Europe can ever prosper. Crawl back in to the German refugee centre you came out of, you literal orangutan.
I hope you decide to sail your grandfathers skip to Britain and rape some sheep, as is in the Kraut's nature. It would still be the whitest pussy you ever had. Give Nigel and Robert a chance for some target practice, your sole use to the world. Germans obsession with a windswept island in the Atlantic is hilarious but sad. Coincidentally it's the only worthwhile contribution Germany has made to the medical field. The MUH PERFIDIOUS ALBION sentiment in the average German is both an early warning sign of autism in children, and early on set Alzheimer's in adults.
Take your hairy fingers off your keyboard, and never talk about the human species again, you mockery of our supposed shared ancestor. No amount of olive oil and wheat flour slabbed on your face every morning will make you Anglo. It's about as delusional of an idea as your daydreams of Nordic heritage.
You Kraut.
You make Poland look like a beacon of civilisation.
You are the Baltimore of Europe.
Go fertilise the bäume with you and your families corpses, it's the best you can hope for in life. For the first time in your life, Kraut, you have a job making food for beings vastly superior to yourself. Austrian cattle. Coincidentally, it would be the first time a German "man" provided for a family.
Die, Hans. No one would miss you. Except for Australian Aboriginals, who now would have no one to make them look good.

I'm Portuguese and one of my last names is Costa. Yet I won't hit on a companion with the same last name. Knowing Bioware, this character is stereotypes in a box and that's not attractive.

>>165949216
>Never needs ammunition until Bioware fucked the lore

one of many mistakes

the system was great, no idea why they changed it

>>165960570
i guess the same reason those mechs in metal gear 4 make sounds

to intimidate his enemies

lore wise anyway, in reality they probably didnt thought about it

I sure hope the female Turian is bi at least. I'm tired of only dating female humans or aliens that look like female humans. Need something more exotic and femc with femturian would be perfect.

Here's Garrus! Say something nice to him!

Mark my words,
Garrus was a beta (man)waifu and thus Vetra shall be an alpha (lady)husbando.

You did nice VO work in The Division.

>like Legion and the geth
>always make quarian and geth peace
>always do the destroy ending

Poor robots.

Finished the game for the first time in a long time and gotta say the ending isn't so bad but could obviously been way better. Still gives me a good feeling like any game should.

>>166015117
He's disgustingly cute.
I think it's the little 'W' shape of Turian mouths that gives them that cuteness, along with the beady eyes.

anon please, I can only get so erect.

Can you invite Dr. Chakwas to the citadel party?

Okay, choice time /meg/.
>wake up on citadel
>only human in existence
>explain shit to counsel
>they say you can join one race and be accepted into their society
which do you choose?

>>166017148
Asari are annoying as tits, Salarian society sounds like a special kind of hell, nobody likes the Volus, Hanars are weird and annoying (especially their Enkindlers), Drells are the Hanar's pets and Elcors will drive you crazy after a week.
That leaves Turians and Quarians. An argument could be made for Quarians, but who the fuck knows how their culture will change after the events of ME3.
Turians are the only viable choice

>>166017869
>turians
Good choice but you won't be able to eat any of their food.

eh, just means you'd have to pay extra and eat the levo-food they have for tourists and other off-worlders. Definitely worth it, as only the dextro races are good races
