What do you guys think of Roko's Basilisk?

Found a fic where Vetra has an internal crisis about being attracted to a human, guest starring OOC lewd Sid.

Eww that bird actually looks feminine.

>>173203960
They're shitty because Bioware is obsessed with making your first companions boring as sin. Zaeed and Jack were good. Humans themselves aren't boring, just the "starting two humans with one being a biotic and the other focusing on combat/tech".

>>173203960
Again, to make a squaddie plebs like, just have him be a generic, two-dimensional, quipping brute. Like Zaeed.

ME3 ending issue is just isn't worth dealing with. Picking an ending to be canon and running with it would have been a dumpster fire, jumping decades/centuries ahead to a time when everything is fixed and ignoring it wouldn't have worked much better.

At least I find the entire Andromeda premise interesting and it means no need to even talk about Shepard and what he did.

>>173204158
>There will never be a female squadmate like this
Not really on these lines, but I kind of hope that we get a Turian that actually acts like a tough, competent, no nonsense, military-minded Turian. Every Turian squadmate we've had has seemed like an anomaly as far as Turians go.

>>173204191
There's no ignoring the synthesis ending though.

>>173204028
I remember going to that website when I was like, 13 around 14 years ago looking for porn in the mature section because I didn't know how to actually look up porn.

Good times.

Alright /meg/, you can go back in time and get the Andromeda team to cut one whole planet in exchange for beefing up the main story. Which one do you have cut? You can't cut Meridian, Habitat 7, or that asteroid Vetra's loyalty mission is on obviously. Has to be a full world.

>Eos
>Kadara
>Harvaal
>Elaaden
>Voeld

Alternatively:

>don't cut anything, the balance is fine as-is

>>173203960
Human companions aren't inherently bad. I love Kasumi and Jack for example.

It's just they seem to go for fairly stock types who exist to fill a specific role (the combat one, the powers one, etc) as the ones you get as 'starter' companions.

>>General disposition
Butch but not in an overbearing way. Street smarts, business smarts offset by drive for a thrill of a good fight if it can't be helped. Knows how all the merc groups work, gets shit done. Generally a bro, tough as shit. Probably been shot and stabbed heaps. Generally feels like she always has to prove herself despite being in a position of power and respect. Generally approves of SOME renegade actions and any choices that could prove lucrative. Basically approves of smart deals, the morals of how you get there aren't much of a problem.
>>General looks
Around 6ft, very muscly and in shape. A nice face, good bone structure. Green eyes, freckles, blonde hair, probably wears a bandana. Some scars here and there because she's seen some shit. Young I guess, around 27.
>>General history
Was raised by a Krogan merc that killed her parents and felt guilty when he found their baby. Something dumb like that. She found at quick that she would never fit in unless she became as strong as the other Omega unsavory's but also knew she had to be more cunning where she couldn't match them in phsycical strength. I guess it worked because she's currently in with a Krogan group?
>>Why do they join the crew
Middle man between MC and mercenery groups and the underbellies of most planets. Is there on the interest of her group that the MC brokers alliance with.

I don't know how to not be generic.

>>173204348
Fucking Eos.

>>173204348
Don't cut it entirely, but massively reduce the scale of Kadara. Make it just the port, but expand that a bit.

>>173203960
A socially awkward female cyberhacker who stowed away on the tempest because they might be able to use your SAM to find links to the benefactor

You can romance them but they're incredibly jumpy in conversation and take everything you say as bullying.

>>173204348

Don't cut anything, there should have been more story content regardless.

>>173204348
>>Eos

Cut Eos. Or just make it smaller. The entire north and east ends of the map feels like a total waste of time save for Bain Massani's little cameo.

Synthesis is basically a "and they all lived happily ever after" ending, it's the reverse of Reject.

You wouldn't ignore it's effects, just make it not an option since it's a closed ending. Same way the ME2 suicide mission ending where Shepard falls to his death from the Normandy doesn't import to ME3.

Because he was designed to be a husbando and nothing else, complete with shitty pandering like "oh everyone wants his dick but he just feels so darn unconfident and just loves you and needs you to tell him he's awesome". He's a dime-novel tier character that feels weird as fuck if you're not someone who romances him.

>>173204949
1. They've been working on it for longer than they're admitting it.
2. They outsourced it to save money but now that the uproar is so big EA told them to just throw money at it and fix it asap, it's not actually difficulty to make the good animations.
3. They're bullshitting.

>>173204808
Damn you're mad. He felt more to me like a character who is there to react to the revelations about the Kett and Angara because otherwise you'd have no connection to them and they'd mean little to you. He's also there to react to the strangeness of the Milky Way races and everyone in your crew to remind you that you're aliens in the galaxy. And like all the first companions of a race, he's there so you can see what Angara are like.

These other aspects of him you listed are barely focused on other than a couple throwaway lines out in the universe unless you play his romance. I don't know why you latched onto them so much.

Because I was specifically talking about him in the context of being a husbando, which was the topic of what I was replying to.

I wouldn't mind a dude like the Primarch's son (but human). Somebody who had a shitload of pressure to succeed, fucked up, and is given their last chance on our crew. Bonus points for daddy issues out the wazoo that we can solve with dick.

Part of their arc is them redeeming themselves but losing a limb, and then adjusting to a prosthetic. If Drack's still around he helps them.

Anon, I love him, but the pandering is off the fucking charts where Jaal's romance is concerned. I love soppy period romance movies, and a lot of what he says (particularly in his Aya scene) sounded exactly like the kind of thing I'd hear the love interest say in one of those. He's big pink Mr. Darcy and it's entirely intentional - and that's not a bad thing, he still shines as a character on his own, but not acknowledging it doesn't do anyone any good.

I've only watched his romance and was playing Scott. His romance has a ton of pandering to women but it wasn't what his whole character was that I ever saw. That's all I was saying.

Long hair pushed back, bearded as fuck, about 6 feet tall. Scar on his left eye, has a "CUT HERE" tattoo on his neck.

>General history
Grew up as an orphan on Omega, mother died in childbirth and father was a deadbeat. Raised by krogan gangsters and became a smuggler at the young age of 12 since no one would suspect a kid. First killed when he was 14 and liked it. Left Omega because it got too dangerous and heard a "certain turian" was going on a vigilante spree. Became a bodyguard for vid celebrities in planets by the time he was 30 and then said "Fuck it, I can't keep doing this shit" and joined the Alliance. Went through N7 training with Alec Ryder and been best friends ever since. After Alec was removed from service, he stayed in touch with him. He never told him he was in the Initiative, wanted to surprise him when they got out of stasis.

>Why do they join the crew
After Alec dies, he feels that he has to look over the Ryder twins.

Sloane constantly tells you the Initiative is not welcomed and any settlement would be nuked. That upon constantly calling you a fetching dog even after you help her with Kett.

Why anyone would save her is beyond me. Seriously good job dev team on making a decision basic bitch easy. This and choosing between some Krogan and Pathfinder Salarian makes me question what drugs they were on during development.

>>173206986
Reyes can't die, which means he's the one that'll actually matter in the sequel. Might as well have him on your side unless you're a moralfag and don't want to let Sloane be murdered.

Scott/Sara fic incoming.

What you did with Sara...It was better to leave it nameless, instinctual. What mattered in those heated, passionate moments that intermingled with quiet, gentle engagements was that she was comfortable. What was important was waking up before she did, and feeling as she unconsciously pulled closer to your warmth, untensing as you swept her sleeping body up in your arms and pulled her tight. The way her head fit in the crook of your shoulder, or the way her breath felt against your chest. Of all the sights in Andromeda, none could compare waking up to the sight of those eyes, still immersed in the dream you made real.

But one day, she wasn't there, and when you woke up to a cold bed, no note telling you where she was gone to, you panicked.

“SAM. Can you hear me? Where is my sister?”

“Unable to answer, Pathfinder. She requested I did not record her passing.”

Your fists clench, and your forehead wrinkles. “Is there a hint? Some location she mentioned? How did she seem?”

“I am unable to answer. Your sister requested I delete all relevant information after she left the Hyperion.”

So, she's left. Pulling on your pants, you hop out of your quarters, and rush down the hallways. “SAM. Give me a log of all shuttles that have departed the Hyperion within the past hour.” Swiping through all the information, you look in vain for any clue of where Sara had gone—but instead, all you find are movements between the Meridian and Nexus. There's no way she could have gone somewhere that crowded. You pause, and think. No vehicles taken. No unusual destinations. No mountains nearby. Where could she be?

An answer comes, and you rush to the maintenance hatches. “SAM, find me the quickest access to the exterior hull. I want to get the top of the Hyperion.”

“Done. I have uploaded the nav-points to your implant.”

(1/?)

>>173207461

>>173207187
She seemed like a much more easy to handle person that Reyes. Especially because she's so temperamental. Temperamental people are easy to control though their emotions. She's also loyal to her emotions, not to logic, so once you save her you're on her good side, representing the "good half of the nexus", which makes her think. Reyes strikes me as someone who used me, and would use me again, and would betray me at the worst moment, and otherwise has even less of a moral compass than Sloane. I'm not being tricked by him saying that he welcomes the settlements.

Like what Vetra said about him. Pathological liars don't tend to stop lying.

But this is one of the good things about the game, that this is actually a choice enough that we can discuss it.

>>173206986
Reyes. Better someone you can work with in charge.

Reyes is the one you go for when you got the Exiles are our people and we need to bring them back into the fold type.

Sloane is for the fuck the exiles they aren't our people type.

I prefer the unity route.

>>173207461
“Thanks, SAM. Don't record anything that happens next.” Hauling your way through the hatches, your mind is reeling from all the possibilities. Kett? Death threats? This behavior is too far removed to be one of her fits. Clambering through a narrow passageway, you look towards the door, where light leaks through, and burst your way through. From the very top of the Hyperion, you can still feel the remnants of last night's chill needle through your clothes Across the hull, you can see Sara at the edge, staring off into the distance. You walk fearfully across the hull, suspended several hundred meters above the ground, but she ignores the sound. Drawing closer, you can hear her muttering to herself. A stream of numbers slips like water from her tongue, frantic and blistering, and it's not until you squeeze her hand that she snaps back to reality. You attempt to say something, but Sara, turns to you, her eyes filled with tears, and delivers something that makes your knees tremble.

“Scott, I'm pregnant.”

Inside, something deep shatters, and the feeling of something floods into your soul. Not hate. Not fear. But something that makes you shake. Syllables crawl out of your frozen mouth, just enough to prod for information.

“You sure?” you trail off uselessly.

“Yes.” Before you can react, her hand slips away from yours, and she takes step towards the edge, a foot away from deathly drop. “I can't do this, Scott. I can't.”

“Do what? Sara, it'll be fine, please. Come away from there. We could get Gil's friend to pull some strings, get a Kadaran doctor to falsify some forms—we can do this. I'll stand by you both.”

She sniffles, but doesn't move, her hands hanging uselessly at her side. “It's not that, Scott. I don't care what people think about us. But what about the child?”

“What about them? They'll be wonderful. We're not that bad of a couple. Maybe they'll be a little trigger-happy, but....” Your words fall as she starts shaking her head, fingers twitching to an invisible count. “No, you don't understand. What if...”

“What if what? People stare? Treat them badly? I won't allow that. If I have to hire every krogan on Elaaden to keep our kid safe, I will. Sara...”

“No. No that, either.”

“Then what?”

She whispers, barely audible above the dawn breeze.“What if she's like me?”

“What?”

“WHAT IF SHE'S LIKE ME?” Her voice rings through the air, and off the unfeeling hull. You pause, and toe your words carefully.

“Sara, you're a great person. A little strange, sometimes, but we can make it work. You turned out alright.”

“I don't want alright. I want what's best for them. And I know that I am something awful to be around.”

“Don't say that.”

“Don't lie to me, Scott. Please, not you. You think I don't see those glances they threw my way at the party, or the way they whisper about me in the mess hall? 'Ryder's amazing,' they say. 'But his sister? There's something...off.' Every time I whiff a conversation, or hastily excuse myself, I can feel their eyes drill into me like I'm some specimen to be wary around. You think I want that life for our child? That I want your face to have another scar because of my problems?” Her arm goes up, and traces the thin line by your brow. “I know what I do to you, Scott. All the sleep you've lost because of me, all the women you've given because you chose to deal with my issues, all those excuses you make up to tend to me. We came to Andromeda for a new life, Scott. And instead, all I'm doing is weighing you down with issues from our old one. I can't do this to you anymore. And I won't burden you with someone who'll do the exact same. Someone who'll go through the exact same.”

“They'll have us, Sara. I--”

“No. They'll have you. We'll both use you.” Her voice grows steady, but slowly, she inches backwards, closer to the drop. “You can't carry both of us on your back. And what of love? What happens when she's our age? I have you, Scott. But what we have, is only because we're both adults. Who'll they have? Who'll carry them through it all? You'll die. I'll die. They'll be alone. I can't—I won't ruin another life just because of my mistake.” Her heel hangs over the ledge, and you see her leg begin to shift. “Goodbye.”

She begins to fall, and immediately, you hurl yourself forward, grabbing her arm with all your might, the other scrabbling along the hull for purchase. Latching on to a half-sunken pipe, your arm socket nearly tears under the burden of Sara's weight, tearing a guttural growl from your lungs.

“Scott, let go! Don't make me do this!” Sara's voice wails piteously, but you shake your head, biting down.

“Shut up!” You bellow. As much as it hurts, you still have the strength to talk.

“We don't even know if all that's going to happen, Sara. And I'm not going to lose you. One family member is enough for Andromeda to take from me. I won't let this galaxy take another.”

“Scott...” It the depths of her melancholy, you can hear something around the edge. It would be foolish to call it hope. But whatever it is, it's enough for you to start talking. Pleading. Anything.

“I don't know, Sara. I don't know what'll happen, to the kid, or to you. But I do know, that if I let go, right now, I'll never know what could be. So, please, Sara. Come back. Just until tomorrow. We can decide then.” You close your eyes, and ignoring the pain, wait for her voice. This is it.

“Alright.” Sara responds defeatedly, and you can hear her hand shift for a hold in the hull. As she finds one, and pulls herself up, you help haul her onto her feet—before your feet stumble, and you trip backwards, Sara collapsing onto you. She moans, but you squeeze her tight and lightly hammer back, tears flooding your eyes. “Don't. You. Ever. Jump. Again.” Her tears dampen your shirt wordlessly, but the two of you say nothing more, instead taking a moment's respite from what just happen. Eventually, you head to the Tempest, hoping to spring the problem on Lexi, hoping that the two of you can play dumb.

Hoping that somehow, this will all work out.

“And, sit here. Sara. You said your stomach felt funny, and you were retching up this morning?”

“Yes.”

“I see. If it is what I think it is, your days are going to be busy. Who's the father?” Sara tightens, and you immediately try and make yourself look as inconspicuous as possible. Lexi looks up at the awkward air, and shrugs her shoulders. “Well, I guess it's not my business. Look here.” Lexi scans Sara a few times, measures some of her vitals, and sighs. “You'll need these.” She says, depositing several white tablets on Sara's outstretched hand. As Sara begins to mouth numbers, you interject, hoping to shift attention away from her.

“What are those, doc?”

So is Vetra & Drack the superior choice for your squad?

>>173207898
The Dragon Age team gives less fucks. And Solas was a concept long before DAI and long before they made him an LI at the last minute. It's not the same for Reyes as far as we know.

Also, it's coming off the heels of the stupid drama that the Mass Effect team is completely crumbling under. They're just doing whatever people cry about most. They're completely cucked and we'll see the results of it going forward.

“Antacids. Whatever she ate last night is having a dire effect on her gastrointestinal system. Must have been some of those Heleus hybrid fruits popping up around Meridian.”
The air rushes out of your body in relief, and from what you can catch of Sara's downturned face, it's turn a bright, beet red.

“And nothing else to be worried about?”

“Nothing. Sorry about the scare, by the way.” Lexi turns to Sara, and begins apologizing. “They've been having me assist with the fertility program, so for the past week, I've just been confirming pregnancies. Set myself up for a Pavlovian situation, as your human psychologists would have put it. Speaking of...” A light on her terminal beeps, and Lexi excuses herself. “Sorry, the Initiative calls.”

The doors hiss shut, and you look towards Sara right as she looks at you. Immediately the two of you get up, and rush towards each other to wrap as tight as you can in an embrace “I was so scared...” Sara cries between her heaving sobs. “I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.” She repeats those words, over and over, and you tousle her hair, kissing her lightly on the forehead. “It's alright,” you whisper. “It's alright.” Another day with Sara. Like many, it was difficult. But like many, you would do it all over again. She's worth it all.

Seeing Sloane basically run Kadara like a tyrant made it easier for me to pick Reyes. Squeezing money out of everyone and allowing people to beaten on streets? Fuck that.
She's also responsible for the uprising and fucking up everyone's life in Heleus.

Offing Sloane was the only thing me and Tann agreed on.

Tweak the backstory to the Krogan parent-killer unwittingly raising her as a young kid orphan (as this soft-hearted crime boss tends to with the promising short-lived [non-krogan/asari] street urchins of Omega for maximum loyalty) and her becoming his favorite. Convos reveal she left because she was having a massive conflict of self knowing this guy killed her parents and lead her down a life of crime and degeneracy, yet genuinely came to care for her and provided safety and purpose like few sad, lost souls in Omega ever know. Loyalty mission becomes a matter of avenging her parents she can barely remember or having an honest confrontation and reconciliation with mob boss surrogate dad.

Basically rip off the dynamic between DiCaprio and Butcher Bill from Gangs of New York. Mass Effect squaddies are daddy issue central, might as well make it compelling.

>>173208245
The way I saw it, we saw how Sloane did things. It was shit and there was no doubt going to be a violent insurrection soon.

Reyes may be manipulative but his status quo isn't the same. I'd rather take the chance with him. If he runs things better in the long run and isn't constantly looking for an opening to fuck the Nexus, who cares if his personal morality didn't extend to not cheating in a duel?

>>173208338
It's not quite as much of a ghetto power fantasy, but the danger of the Outcasts causing trouble remains. But I think it's the same if you keep Sloane in regards to the other team staying around and stirring shit.

Can someone explain the "Sara has mental issues" meme

>>173208507
>But I think it's the same if you keep Sloane in regards to the other team staying around and stirring shit.
It is. How's the Collective handle the outpost? Sloane demands a cut of everything they produce as a protection fee.

>>173208548
She has mental issues

>>173208548
Her facial animations are particularly terrible + a lot of her dialogue is stupid.

>>173208507
You don't see corrupt cops and beatings when Reyes takes over.

>>173208548
Shortly before the game came out we joked about how her face makes her look autistic, and people ran with it. That's it.

>>173208997
No, the overall themes of the games have always been about Human supremacy and our ability to unify.

We've always been the special snowflakes of the setting, and will always be the protagonists because of it.

Aliens just aren't diverse enough.

>>173208997
No. Whenever Andromeda runs its course EA will either drop the series, or do a hard reboot, depending on how the sales hold up. And it'll be nothing but humans, with all the aliens just mindless enemies.

>>173209114
You also did favors for Reyes and he owes you a lot since you're the only reason he got as far as he did. He's a lot more appreciative of your help than Sloane, who's grudging about it.

>>173209114
She makes it very clear that she doesn't think she owes you anything. She'll tolerate you now, and that's the best you'll get.

Sloane runs things in a way that works. Maybe half the people exiled were shit-disturbers or malcontents of some kind, and wishy-washy leadership won't keep them in line. Of course Reyes will be the better option because even without paragon and renegade, bioware will rely on "this choice practical but good, this choice practical but bad", but in-universe Sloane and Reyes both have their positives and negatives.

They very much made it a mostly black and white issue, with Reyes being the paragon choice and Sloane being the renegade choice.

The difference is how they force you to make that choice, you have to do something bad in order to get the good outcome, and by doing something good they punish you with the bad outcome.

That's how it is structured.

>>173210805
Always the issue when you try to make everything "kinda" black or "kinda" Asian. Any attempt to make your character actually black or Asian ends up looking like a racist cartoon.

This. And he kind of looks like me anyway. The part where he's pale and has a patchy beard.

>>173210591
He was literally out there fighting with you against the Kett and risking his life at the very end. This is already false. If this was how his character was meant to come off, he'd have sent a bunch of his people in place of himself.

>>173210895
And Spender lives on the Nexus, not Kadara. It's already been confirmed that a lot of the people who were exiled were just caught up in those initial riots and mass exported.

While I doubt Reyes is innocent, he and the Collective are NOT the stereotypical Exiles Tann portrays: Thuggish, violent, and ready and willing to exploit those who fall under them. Even if they ARE like that, they're smart enough to keep it under control so they can at least get away with it.

ETA on patch?

>>173211187

>>173211142
Reyes has basically been running a propaganda campaign against Sloane by the time Ryder gets there, and promoting violence/tensions between the Outcasts and the Collective. Prior to that, Sloane was able to effectively clear the kett from a signifcant chunk of land, restore a derelict port, and actually keep it as a semi-orderly hub.

Sloane is irredeemable anyways. Like Drack tells you when you get to Kadara. She was the head of the Nexus security force then switched sides. Loyalty still counts, and she has none. She saw her opportunity to set up her own little space dictatorship and jumped on it first chance she got.

In the final battle against archon do all your team show up or was it just a glitch that Liam was there? He was the only one I saw other than my selected two team mates.

>Gender
Female
>Class
Slightly modified take on the ME3MP N7 Demolisher Engineer with a very similar kit. Has mild anti-armor, as well as anti-shield capabilities, and is armed with the N7 Valkyrie. Loyalty mission unlocks infrequent ammo or power cell generation, depending on Supply Pylon evolution.
>Occupation
Very experienced handyman in underappreciated blue collar work critical to society: Janitorial, plumbing, simple/basic electric, cook, welding, construction, et. al in addition to Special forces experience detailed below.
>Birthplace
Born on Earth, raised by military family. Cycled between living on Eden Prime and onboard various military ships, stations, and colonies/bases.
>Romance?
No romance whatsoever. Becomes mildly irritated/disgusted when hit on, and will comment negatively if in the presence of PDAs with other squadmates. Not tsundere. No bad history, simply "militant" asexuality.
>General disposition
Busy. Working out, tinkering with gear, or otherwise being productive. Places extreme value on privacy. Very emotionally stable. Very little to say in person, but has a unique perspective on the world, and will always have interesting comments on UNCs.
>General looks
African descent. Very athletic build. Tall for a human; extremely tall for a woman. Can be accurately described as "handsome", rather than cute, beautiful, or pretty.
>General history
Prior-N7, unusually extensive combat experience despite short military career. Similar to Thane in the way that she has killed a lot of malicious people and disarmed plenty of bombs, but had never built schools, repaired ships, or mined helium-3, explaining an early separation from military service.
>Why do they join the crew
Helping discover homes for the initiative members, whilst protecting the most successful, most powerful Pathfinder perfectly satisfies the balance of ridding bad, and creating good.

>>173211521

So it took less than a year for her to fail. It was easy to run a "propaganda" campaign when people were getting beaten in the streets, relentlessly extorted, and thrown out into the dangerous wild when they couldn't pay. We saw that with our own eyes.

I think it can glitch, but your whole squad is supposed to be there and you all fight him together.

It worked fine for me, everyone was there helping me take him down. I loved it actually it was really neat to see something like that happen in a game.

Usually it's you against the universe, but this game they really pulled everyone together and you didn't have to do it alone.

Meanwhile Throw can be both a primer and a detonator, Singularity is a primer and a giant AOE attack, and Lance is a detonator that hits hard as a sniper rifle and can be spammed with shields.

You can also get the adrenaline mod that makes each kill reset cooldowns so you can just spam and explode the fuck out of everything.

Meanwhile pull doesn't even have a use unless the target is unshielded or unarmored.

>>173211804
It would be fun!

Someone walks in on me crying like a little faggot because I want to go back home

Can somebody remind me, since it's been so long since playing any of the OT.

Does ME suffer from the problem where nobody acknowledges how badass Shepard is? Like, were there many instances of the enemies being like
>Oh fuck, that's Shepard. We're fucked.
or was it all just
>I WILL DESTROY YOU!
??

I think most games could do with more of this, but I feel like I've only ever seen it in Ace Combat and Far Cry.

>>173212319
There are some instances of NPC's shitting themselves that you're a Pathfinder, but the generic enemies in the games do not have voice line as far as I've seen. The Kett also speak their own language.

At the end of the game when you are on Meridian, the second wave of colonist that just came out of cryo are treating you like some living legend because they only heard about all the shit that you did.

>>173212319
>Does ME suffer from the problem where nobody acknowledges how badass Shepard is?

It goes in the opposite extreme, every NPC sucks your dick and treats you like a living good for what are at their core fairly basic acts. As far as enemies go, literal indoctrinated flesh-robots still somehow manage to scream in fear "Holy shit, it's Shepard!" when you enter the scene.

Also all of his teammates become living legends in their time due to their exploits and get rapid promotions that are incredibly improbably from their age, apparently because each killing single digit percentages of what Shepard killed just makes them that incredibly badass.

What's with that human 'Vas Hyperion' as her last name?

I'm only human...

They should just "apologize" and remove the character entirely on grounds that it was offending people.

How about neither?

Like what about that could possibly bother you. They're saying they're sorry they accidentally made something insensitive, so they'll rework it so it isn't as clumsy.

>>173212783
I think it's the second or third line of dialogue when you first talk to her. It's something like "Hey I'm this and that. I wrote a paper about weather. Also I was a man."

It's actually very tongue in cheek.

>Tann says they can't nominate you as ambassador because people might thin you hunted down and killed the Archon to bolster your own chances

Literally what? If someone went to such lengths because they wanted a higher position of power I'd fucking vote for them.

I don't even remember, but the way that makes it sound is after every story mission you have to fly back to Eos spend some time with stephan so that you can organically learn that he has a dick.

Which is fine, if all you're talking about is how good they are in squad battles and how many people they've killed. What Shepard's team does is totally unprecedented in that case. Shepard deserves praise there.

It's quite a bit different when they pretend like that makes him a qualified admiral or diplomat or that these skills matter even one iota in a space war.

>>173212491
Good. Then it can be handled in a tasteful way instead of just shoving it down everyones throats the first time they speak to her out of fucking nowhere.

It was just so dumb. Like checking a checkbox for diversity but in such a lazy and in your face way that is in no way believable with how actual people talk about things like that.

Sorry, that was unclear. What they're doing doesn't bother me - it's the wording that's fucking cringey. Just say "We realized this was unrealistic and are working on changing it," don't go on some self-flagellating tirade about how sorry you are for not being "caring or thoughtful" enough.
