A couple threads ago we had this discussion and the general consensus was some kind of rabbit. Specifically, a rabbit that was bred in Turkey.

A Star Trek alien, Bioware couldn't even be arsed to make things bigger or smaller in Andromeda. Still the same humanoids that are exactly like humans except for fingers and around their heads a bit.

>>167314751
They're bigger than humans with very different legs, but of fucking course they'd be relatively humanoid so they can be rigged with battle animations. Anyone hoping that our companion aliens would be a very different size or hopping around on all fours was a moron. It'd be cool, but we all knew it wasn't happening.

I just hope we see a good selection of non-humanoid aliens too.

>>167314751
Convergent evolution yadda yadda, but yeah I agree, would've been nice to see some more 'alien' aliens. Jurys still out though, there might well be more races in this game we've yet seen.

>>167315024

Would be nice to see Turians and Krogan at their actual sizes instead of being shrunken down due to shitty engine limitations or whatever excuse bioware uses to not model them correctly

Isn't the librul narrative that aryan men are demigods who can basically do anything and never meet any obstacles? Shouldn't straight white male mode basically be godmode with the best ending guaranteed?

>>167318661
what they should do is if you make your character white. whenever there's a new problem for the character to face if you go visit your companions of hipsters and minorities for advice, they start rolling their eyes at the main character and perhaps give him a lecture on how his problems are not "real" problems.

well, how're they going to get there? Shep has the only copy of the Reaper IFF, so they can't safely send other ships through the Omega 4 relay. Plus, with all the ships there, most pilots would crash on entry, even assuming there are no other traps or drones near the base.

You're also giving the base to Cerberus. Which is sort of ok if you're willing to work with them. but if you have Shepard dislike Cerberus due to the shit they pulled in ME1, it gets a lot less justifiable

>>167332191
>unfortunately bioware ruined illusive mans character.
desu, he was always shit, all his "moments" were thanks to the plot hand wave, suddenly he knows everything (for some reason) and everyone (including Shepard) is stupid around him.

People talk a lot about how ME3 failed, but ME2 was a complete mess in terms of main plot, TIM and Cerberus were a large factor on this.

>>167332587
>well, how're they going to get there? Shep has the only copy of the Reaper IFF

Funnily enough, they bullshit their way around that and send ships, anyway. Turns out, it doesn't fuckin' matter if you blow it up or not, they still have pieces of it if you do.

There's more to Vanguards than just Charge. Havoc Strike also doesn't recharge shields.

>>167333020
it doesn't recharge shields, doesn't do much combo stuff, but I think can be upgraded to emit a small flame AOE.

I want to know why "every team needs an idealist". You don't really want that, especially when you're going into unknown territory. you want people who can be objective, rather than idealistic or cynical

>>167336335
Contrary to popular belief on 4chan, no human can be objective

>>167336335
>he doesn't want an Arcade Gannon helping him "colonize" a new galaxy

idealists are a good

>>167336552
of course not. but you want people as close to that as possible when you're doing things like "looking for a place to safely settle 20,000 human beings". you don't deliberately find someone as far from objective as possible and then pat yourself on the back

Morning /meg/.

>>167322110
Looks nice. But that map looks really familiar. I hope they have more environment variation than in ME3. Something like Halo Reach with its wide open areas in firefight mode. But that might be difficult with this gameplay. I remember the AI in ME1 had no idea what to do on the bigger maps and would just stand still in the open and shoot.

>>167334779
Vega was literally better than the majority of squaddies in ME2.

>>167336049
I would assume a private civilian operation like this would be limited. N7s don't grow on trees.

>>167337320
>Vega was literally better than the majority of squaddies in ME2.

>>167337320
>I would assume a private civilian operation like this would be limited. N7s don't grow on trees.
and yet, they managed to get one of the first humans to go through a Mass Relay, TIM's daughter, and enough fertile female krogan to make it worth bringing that species along. The AI's got more than enough pull to nab other N7s rather than relying on a civilian 'crisis responder'

>>167337815

>>167338869

She didn't travel deeper into Andromeda because 'family ties' kept her close to the Nexus
She's written by Sheryl Chee

that is literally it

>>167339078
>She's written by Sheryl Chee

>Dog, Leliana, Wynne, Oghren and Cullen
>Mage origin, broken circle, urn of sacred ashes

Anyone think her last name could be "Vakarian" I mean Cora has the illusive man's last name so anythings possible.

>>167339358
yup. worst thing she did was blackwall, and that was more because he should have been in DAO instead of DAI.

And then there's Peebee, who's written by Lukas Kristjanson, the chucklefuck that did Sera

>>167339543

>>167339419

>>167340004
can't be his sister, she was on Palaven in 3.

could be a cousin, or aunt though. But I really hope they don't do that, i'd be a little weirded out by the only turian squadmates being related

They're for multiplayer, you dumb twat. It says that right in the fucking video.

>>167337796
Miranda, Thane, Zaeed, Kasumi, Jack, Samara, Morinth, and Jacob were all shit characters. They're cliches who have no real interactions beyond expositing their exaggerated edge lord back stories. On top of that they're all unlikable bastards who the game still somehow expects you to care about. The exceptions to these two statements are probably Kasumi and Jacob but they're just so fucking bland.

They were one of the biggest downfalls of ME2. James is better than them mosul because he's actually a normal, downplayed character with a decent bit of depth who didn't feel like he came from edge lord fanfiction.

>>167342056
>They're for multiplayer, you dumb twat. It says that right in the fucking video.

>>167342168
James was a big case of too little, too late. If they wanted to get us attached to a third game squadmate, they'd have to make them very memorable. James being a normal, downplayed dude just didn't cut it. People liked him well enough but it's rare that he's on anyone's list of favorites.

However, I would have preferred Vega from the beginning instead of Kaidan. He's a better character.

BioWare apologists are completely unaware. Any technical or quality issues are dismissed because of "muh inclusion" and "muh fanservice gigglesquee." I imagine it would be much more draining to be one of the people who shits on EVERYTHING BioWare does, no matter what. Constantly having to bitch and moan about shit that isn't even an issue, like >>167344535 for instance. You would just have to be a miserable, pathetic prick in general.

Do you mean aside from the objectively bad writing, which breaks pretty much every rule of good story writing*?
How about the fact that every ending was the same, with any differences merely vaguely implied, in a game series where the entire point is "choices matter."
Or the fact that the "Sophie's Choice" scenario was already physically put in place by an entity that never wanted or intended to give you that choice to begin with?


*You don't introduce critically important characters at the last second to serve as info-dumps to tie up the entire story. That's shitty writing. You don't introduce a victory scenario at the last second that runs counter to everything the game has been telling you up that point. It could have worked with ME2's hamfisted "suicide mission" plot, not ME3's. That's shitty writing. You don't end an action story without a final conflict. That's shitty writing.

Maybe the hospital owners get sick of having their bodies stolen, violated and discarded. So they rig up a shapely ass, complete with a compact life-support system and leave it in the room with the vats.
Naturally you take it when on your next girlfriend run.
Then you either explode as the small grenade inside the ass is triggered, or you live a happy life with your ass, keeping it under the bed. maybe taking it sunbathing when you want a tan girlfriend. Maybe you'd even buy some purple bodypaint and draw some qt spots on it.

>>167350987
That's not true, though. However difficult it is to admit that from the smell of a billion dead corpses being liquefied and pushed through tubes, the Reapers were not evil. The Intelligence was created to preserve life at all costs. The method it found was brutal, but would organics truly not have died out from the conflict with synthetics in the first cycle, were it not for the Reapers creating a tabula rasa every 50,000 years? And I'm deliberately using only information here presented by the Reapers and the Intelligence, not Leviathan.

The moment the the Crucible allowed new possibilities, the Intelligence got Shepard involved and actually discussed all this. Because its goal was always to find the perfect solution, the Reapers were just the best it could come up with on its own. The jinn-jang of machine perfection and organic innovation both were required for the solution, which the game implies to be Synthesis, regardless of what Javik or Shepard or TIM would each believe. The Reapers did allow life to exist for long enough to construct the Crucible, but they themselves could not come up with it on their own, because they lacked the necessary chaos (erratic thinking) to imagine it. Organics had to.

You're arguing against something I never said. That has no relevance.
>The Intelligence was created to preserve life at all costs.
Again, irrelevant. But also stupid. "End life to preserve it" is fucking retarded.
>The method it found was brutal, but would organics truly not have died out from the conflict with synthetics in the first cycle, were it not for the Reapers creating a tabula rasa every 50,000 years?
That's unverifiable and illogical. Why would those first sentient synthetics wipe out all organic life for all of time?

How about you only use information related to what I actually wrote?

But that in and of itself is fucking retarded. "This giant dongle has showed me that after billions of years I've been a fool..." What the fuck did the Crucible actually do? If the Catalyst had never considered these alternative paths why the fuck did it build those 3 alternative paths right into the Citadel?

An intelligence unquantifiably more advanced than any organic being was unable to think of how it might use one of the 3 platforms it already fucking made?

The fuck is jinn-jang?
>The jinn-jang of machine perfection and organic innovation both were required for the solution, which the game implies to be Synthesis
But the Reapers have been collecting organics for billions of years. Unless you concede that were never actually preserving organic life then this entire theory of yours is ridiculous.

>What the fuck did the Crucible actually do?
It didn't end life in the same sense synthetics would've ended all of it altogether. It trimmed it. Like gardening. Storing old life in Reaper form to make room for new life to evolve. It's mandate was to preserved organic life as a concept, not specific Human or Prothean life. From a higher perspective, those end anyway, just as individuals die, so do cultures, religions, species, planets, stars, eventually everything kicks it. Anything living forever unless the Reapers roll in was never an option, and it wasn't necessarily the first cycle of synthetics that had to have destroyed all life, but eventually one of them would've. Monkeys are typewriters. One of the synthetics will have that mindset, Javik actually explain why, and it made perfect sense. And one of the synthetics in his cycle, the Zha-till (sic?), actually did have that mindset. They were in a galactic war with them even before the Reapers rolled it.
>why the fuck did it build those 3 alternative paths right into the Citadel?
Yea I'm pretty sure that was in Shepard's head unless he was literally standing on the top of it in space with no air or anything, but even if we go with it being a real place, however little physical sense that makes, there really weren't 3 actual buttons like at the end of Deux Ex: Human Revolution. There was one built for Control, the other one was a bunch of wired in a tube that Shepard had to shoot. It was not a created option just a "by the way if you break that, it's gonna fuck shit up". The central one was an energy beam provided by the Crucible, and the intelligence stated that they already tried Synthesis before, so they had that tech already.

That's fully fucking retarded. You don't liquify all of the flowers in your garden because the stems might grow new flowers.
>Storing old life in Reaper form to make room for new life to evolve.
More retardation. Life isn't "stored" in Reapers. The reapers are made of people goo. There's no storage involved. You can fucking takes things OUT of storage. You can't take that sentient beings out of Reapers.
>Yea I'm pretty sure that was in Shepard's head unless he was literally standing on the top of it in space with no air or anything
So you really are retarded then. He was inside the Citadel, you mental midget. The Crucible docked with the Citadel and that floating platform lifted Shepard into the Catalyst's secret sanctum.

Poorly written. Poorly animated.

>>167355931
>You don't liquify all of the flowers in your garden because the stems might grow new flowers.
Not him but he's right about the gardening thing. Reapers only kill developped species, meaning they spared homo sapiens and the others the previous time because they couldn't build synthetics. That means the galaxy will be free for new species to develop and flourish, just as you might do with some plants where you plug out some of the roots for the bigger to grow even more.
They also leave the mass relays so the new species will globally always follow the same technological path (like a wood guide for a plant) and not do something unpredictable.

As for the retardation of all that plan, yes it feels retarded. The game fails to make us understand, or rather fails to make us fail at understanding a transcendant being goal and point of view

You mean the taijitu? Eastern philosophy. Seemingly opposite or contrary forces being actually complementary.
>But the Reapers have been collecting organics for billions of years. Unless you concede that were never actually preserving organic life then this entire theory of yours is ridiculous.
No it's because they were conserving life in the only way they could, while also having to destroy it. Sovereign said "We are each a nation, independent and free of all weaknesses". The collective genetic memory of the species that was used to create the Reaper was indeed stored within the Reaper, think of it like what the Borg does. When you choose the Synthesis ending, the Intelligence states that through the unification of synthetic and organic life, all who have been harvested will also join the new mass consensus. It is not the same as the individuals who were killed, but it is more than nothing. The Intelligence states it several times that it is "storing old life in Reaper form", and they harvest not only organic but synthetic life as well. Shepard makes the argument "I think we would rather keep our own forms", and the Intelligence concedes, bit's just that that was not possible before, in the understanding of the Intelligence, because synthetics are eventually bound to destroy organics.

replaying the series for the first time in 5 years. crazy and depressing how fast time goes.

>>167356481
>Shepard makes the argument "I think we would rather keep our own forms", and the Intelligence concedes
No, it says the exact opposite.

I'm turning to you for help, /meg/.

Looks like my CD drive on my laptop gave out, it can't read anything anymore. It's an old laptop, so I'll probably change it someday soon.
Problem is, it can't read the ME2 CD anymore and I was just short of finishing the game before going through ME3.

Is there any kind of safe no-cd crack that would let me play the game without having to check if the CD is there ?

A question for those more knowledgeable than I, if I get Gimp or Paint.NET, could I add layers to the images of Cora's armour to give it red accents? Would that be possible?
I want to know what it'd look like if you gave it the classical Systems Alliance red and white colouring as if it came from a remaster of the first game.

>>167355931
>Life isn't "stored" in Reapers. The reapers are made of people goo.
Legion and the Catalyst both explained it otherwise. Each Reaper is a collective of programs (akin to the geth), sitting atop the genetic memory of the species they were created from. They are large sentient archives.

They are not the same as immortalizing a species, but both their genetics and information about them is stored within the Reaper's form.

Imagine that someone would take your genes and store in in case an alien species comes around millions of years after human died, and they could use it to recreate humans, Jurassic Park style. Death still happened, but not all the value of this form of life was forever lost.

The Reapers did that knowing that synthetics would otherwise just wipe out organic life altogether, without preserving anything about it.

>>167357121
>no-cd crack
I'm more surprised you've actually got a physical pc-game still. If you can't just find the crack then just download the whole game including crack

>>167357121
Yes, it's an incredibly common thing, the fact that you came here and types all those words instead of just looking on Google is astounding

>>167357080
I'm pretty sure the context of the entire conversation is the Intelligence conceding to the new solutions provided by Shepard and the Catalyst. Regardless of whether he says that they cannot maintain their forms, that is in the context of the Reaper solution. In the end it also says it knows its solution won't work anymore. Up until that point it's basically just explaining its own actions.

>>167356393
>Not him but he's right about the gardening thing.
No, he's not. You don't clip flowers when they're in full bloom.
>>167356481
>No it's because they were conserving life in the only way they could, while also having to destroy it.
That's completely contradictory. And if the Reapers can wipe out ONLY advanced societies, why the fuck can't they wipe out sentient machines?
>Sovereign said "We are each a nation, independent and free of all weaknesses".
But that was an outright lie, as every Reaper is controlled by the Catalyst.
>The collective genetic memory of the species that was used to create the Reaper was indeed stored within the Reaper,
The fuck is "genetic memory"? You mean the DNA of the obliterated races is stored in the Reapers? OK. For what purpose or benefit? The Reapers never planned to bring those species back at a later date. Each Reaper is essentially a giant, empty museum, containing no worthwhile information.

>>167357517
>You don't clip flowers when they're in full bloom.
When you want flowers you do, but the reapers want to prevent the flowers from blooming to much anyway

>>167357269
>Each Reaper is a collective of programs (akin to the geth), sitting atop the genetic memory of the species they were created from. They are large sentient archives.
But that's pure gibberish. None of the people turned to goo have their minds stored in the Reapers. Their brains are turned to goo just like the rest of them, and the process has no "consciousness collection" mechanism.

>>167353157
That's ALL fun and games, until someone shills too hard for bads endings.
why didn't the reapers instead kill all synthetics every time they show up?
also think of the fact that they deliberately allied with synthetics (geth) against organics not once but twice and in the second time the destruction of a whole species is a very likely outcome (shepard arrives at the height of battle when the geth are literally handing the quarians their asses and that doesn't change until they destroy the geth dreadnought).
what was their endgame?

>>167357517
>And if the Reapers can wipe out ONLY advanced societies, why the fuck can't they wipe out sentient machines?

Because they were not conceived with that racist mindset (don't get triggered). They were created to facilitate cohesion between the two, to end conflict, not to kill one for the sake of the other. they archive synthetic life at harvests too, the Intelligence said so much.

>>167357674
That was never the goal. The preservation of the individual was not the point in the first place. Just the genetic memory. The individual dies anyway. Organic life is a process of consecutive generations, not immortal programs like synthetic life.

>>167357803
>why didn't the reapers instead kill all synthetics every time they show up?

They were created to maintain peace between the two, not to pick a side.

>>167357674
presumably it could store if not consciousness then at least knowledge of the person by the same psychometric shit by which beacons and javik's touch work.

Full retard.
>>167357804
But that's an outright lie. They kill everyone to prevent sentient machines from ever existing again. They have no interest in cohesion, ya fuckin' idiot.
>>167358016
GENETIC MEMORY ISN'T A THING! IT MEANS NOTHING!

>>167357803
They indoctrinated organic species too, not just the Geth. In fact the collectors are pretty much the same. It's just hard labor.

>>167358270
>GENETIC MEMORY ISN'T A THING!
in mass effect setting it apparently is.

>>167358146
>kill everyone to maintain peace
yeah what a brilliant idea.

>>167358270
They do. They've even tried synthesis before. And they harvest synthetic life too at the end of a cycle.

To simplify it down the only thing the Reapers really do it postpone the inevitable. The harvest itself is not the solution. It is the means to have time to find the solution.

there is never any kind of difference shown between the reapers. none of them, if they ever talk, go into any kind of detail about the race they were made from or show any kind of different behavior, which would actually be a thing if they used "genetic memory" because it should actually influence their behavior.
it's just a buzzword, nothing more.
