>>3478031

Oh look. This thread.

Just posted this in the last one. Reposting for discussion purposes.

Okay, so I have this idea for the end. It revolves around indoctrination and a semi-boss battle.

>final battle similar to ME2 suicide mission
>takes place inside Harbinger
>must make your way to the Reaper Heart/Core/whatever
>Harbinger's internals consist of a shifting, constantly twisting set of corridors and hallucinations (which maybe do damage? similar to FEAR), culminating in the conversation with TIM and Anderson
>Hackett informs you that The Crucible is/requires a Reaper

>you have a few cross-options, basically what the real ending offered on the surface
>kill TIM or Anderson
>can destroy, join, or modify Harbinger's Core

>if you kill TIM
Anderson leaves the decision up to you. If you pick:
>destroy
A pulse is generated by the destruction of Harbinger's Heart that amplifies and spreads via the Mass Relays, killing all Reapers but leaving the Mass Effect Technology
>join
Basically Synthesize/Human Instrumentality; like a Tech Singularity involving a sort of mental ascension
>control
Take on TIM's legacy, take over Cerberus, Humanity leads the way to a new age

>if you kill Anderson
TIM wants you two to Control together
>destroy
TIM tries to kill you anyway, have to beat him. Reapers destroyed, or controlled by TIM if he beats you
>join
TIM argues with you, but won't fight back if you pull a gun on him
>control
can control with or without TIM, but he will keep control of Cerberus

>kill both
no opposition or advice, Harbinger discusses your decision

You would then have a little bit more gameplay involving tying up the loose ends, relationships, and other such things, as well as the classic "montage of things that happened into the far future"

Well, considering that threads stay up for hours even after the bump limit has been reached, it's pointless to make threads before they've ever hit the limit.

Otherwise we end up having 4 or so threads up at once because people are continually making new threads long before they're necessary.

Does anyone have any links on how to mod TIMs outfit/face for Shepard in ME2? I feel like doing a play through in style.

>>3478490

>>3478490
If you're sniping, skip the mines. If you're going to use shotguns though, mines are real nice for the debuff.

>>3478438
but if the original threads moving at a decent pace, 50 posts can happen in, what, a few minutes maybe...if the thread will be up for a few hours anyway then the few minutes it takes to get to 1000 won't really make a difference, no point in everybody getting their jimmies all rustled just because somebody didn't post exactly when the other thread hit the magic number

>>3478575
better than space magic and ghost kids imo

>>3478607
Why skip mines if you're sniping?

>>3478659
Too unwieldy to aim since you'll be sitting at long range. It's nice for shotty builds to stagger crowds and whatnot when shooting mines pointblank.

>>3478561
I was experimenting a bit in a silver game (was level 16), seemed like the geth plasma shotgun was all I needed. Do +power damage perks affect tac cloak? I feel like the rate of fire perk in hunter mode is useless if I'm using a GPS, but power damage is equally useless if I'm not taking prox mine.

That being said I was leading points almost as if I were playing my asari adept.

So the DLC is out... what do you blights think of the Batarian classes?

I want to believe the Batarian soldier can make the soldier class worth playing in MP...

Been too busy enjoying FINALLY having a viable melee/CQB option for gold in the form of the Krogan Battlemaster.

>>3478786

>Krogan Battlemaster viable in gold

Tell me more. I haven't gotten Battlemaster yet.

>>3478786
>battlemaster in gold
>viable
Explain.

>>3478718
No idea. I just spec so my damage with a sniper rifle while cloaked is as much as it can be. That said, gonna respec and try to figure something out so I can use the plasma shotgun as well. A guy I played with recently did the same thing as you and was tearing shit up. He was leading by a fuckton. Made my widow look like a spud gun. ;_;

>>3478786
Batarian soldier is enticing. The abilities seem useful. Krogan vanguard is apparently an unstoppable death machine, but I can't speak for its viability in gold. Other players have soured me on krogan and vanguards, the race/class combo I wanted most.

You guuuuuuuuuuuuuuys~

>>3478840
Did you happen to just be playing on Xbox, firebase hydra, failed on wave 9 vs geth?

>>3478919
>opinions

>>3478786
Batarian sentinel's alright, I guess. I haven't played it much as I unlocked the geth infiltrator right after the one match I played as one. I imagine the submission net's useful as fuck in gold vs geth but I'm not sure if it can ensnare armoured units like pyros or not.

>>3478979

>>3478821
>>3478831

Charge, barrier, krogan racials. Pick your battles, hang back with the carnifex but when you see a chance to go I AM KROGAN whip out the wraith and do so.

It is, I was sold at "Batarian." I was double sold at "bad ass projectile wrist blades."

>3. The Trial
Instead of Shepard lounging around for a year, the game will start like this;

After the events of The Arrival DLC, Shepard will claim the Normandy for himself, during this time he will retro-fit it for the coming Reaper Invasion, using his own resources and crew expertise.
(This makes sense for both Paragon and Renegade Sheps, a Paragon Shep will not waste time with the Council/Alliance, and a Renegade would flip everyone off!)

The Batarians will learn about the relay destruction and amass a fleet to attack earth!

For any shep, they will want to prevent in-fighting so that everyone is their strongest when the reapers come.
*cough* Quarians *cough*

So Shepard will voluntarily stand trial for the relay incident.
This would introduce Vega and Kaidan as your escorts to the trial.

On your way to the trial there would be reporters asking Shep questions about his past (decision cliff notes for newbies!)

>>3479004
It's an anti-armour ability or it's a snare ability if the target has armour.

>>3479048
oop nevermind, looked small on da.

>>3479148

You forgot anyShep/Kasumi

>>3479148

Good luck with that.

>>3479247

>>3479247

>>3479478
>>3479247

>>3479301
What kind of hairstyle does Kasumi have under her hood? A really short pixie cut? Shaved? It's hard to imagine one.

>1. Cerberus
I didn't like how they made Cerberus/TIM another antagonist, it competes with the main villain of the series, the "Reapers"!!

For my head canon the gameplay would run like this;
The missions fall into one of two categories, "Helping other Species." VS "Helping Humanity itself."

Obviously keeping the collector base will drastically help with supporting humanity, while destroying it forces Cerberus to do some unilateral support.

Paragon would be helping other species, while Renegade is helping Cerberus/Humanity.

This also moves you toward a different ending as well, helping Cerberus will sacrifice much of the other species, but humanity will be saved. While helping other species will cause more human losses, but you will help everyone.

The 'perfect' ending is where you try to help both sides as much as possible.

>2. Harbinger
In my headcanon, Harbinger is the final boss and this is how it goes...

The Normandy drops you directly onto Harbinger where you take your squad to place targeting beacons on weak parts of his body.

The gameplay has you fighting through husks, setting a beacon, then running out before the fleet fires.

As you progress Harbinger starts to spiral into earth's atmosphere, so your squad needs to duck into a trench/cranny in Harbinger otherwise you get burned off.

Shepard will die unless you saved the Rachni

>>3479563

She is bald under her hood, but that might be because Bioware didn't bother wasting time on something that won't be seen unless you dig around the files.

>>3479247

Anyone else absolutely love this ancient, green nigger?

>This also moves you toward a different ending as well, helping Cerberus will sacrifice much of the other species, but humanity will be saved. While helping other species will cause more human losses, but you will help everyone.

That would have been a good idea. It's a shame it wasn't implemented.

>>3479818
Aw shit, thanks for reminding to watch the new episode.

>>3479169
We'd also see a dozen mad batarians, yelling and throwing trash at Shep, "You are a blight!"

There would be some courtroom banter, complete with a prosecuting batarian and some uptight human judges will act as if there are no reapers and they are about to convict shepard.

Joker radios you but there is static, the reporters in the back of the room start getting messages and there is a big commotion, a military guy whispers something to Anderson and the judges.

Suddenly everyone gets a major migraine and then a reaper drops down in the background.

People start to panic and run out, one of the judges says, "What... is THAT!?"

LAAAAZOOOOR!

At this point you have the option to go the 'Tutorial Route' or go the quick route. (remember Candlekeep?)

Cool, thanks.

New Gethfiltrator is best new class

Also, get the harpoon sniper and time your charge ups, as you can see through fucking walls. on lower difficulties i dont even need to charge it up to one shot any mob while stealthed.

also, firing the kishock doesnt remove me from stealth, but charging it up does, easy to just charge it up and then stealth allowing for 1 charged shot and 1 uncharged with stealth damage modifier.

all the other classes just suck in comparison. Geth are too efficient

>>3480358
I fucking love huevos rancheros

Anybody got any Battlemaster recommendations?

>>3480626
>6/0/6/6/6 tankier build
use that. it's better not to unlock shitty abilities and max out the other for extra damage and power.

>>3480661
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huevos_rancheros

Biotic sphere increases squad damage reduction and reduces shield recharge time

if an enemy walks into it, they are affected by warp and can be detonated

>>3480632 it actually does that cool bubble around you like in SP? sound great to me.

It is.

You can spec it either for either defense or offense (any enemy that walks into it gets warp applied to them)

>>3480632
"Barrier" is a different skill, it's just a self buff like tech armor and fortification.

But yeah Biotic Sphere is like the ones you see in single player. (Thessia, Grissom Academy) It doesn't act like a straight-up wall, but instead gives damage reduction to anyone within the bubble and makes enemies within the bubble take more damage.

You can also spec it to inflict the Warp effect on enemies that walk through it, to set them up for biotic detonations.

She is a fucking lab experiment.

Imagine you'd clone yourself.
But instead of making your clone male:
With the XY allosome, you remove the male Y and replace it with an X of a women you consider perfect.
You will get a clone of like 95% of yourself that is female and has the traits of said woman you took the X allosome from.

It's the ultimate narcissistic act to create your own perfect daughter. I mean it's fucking great, an ego-maniacal madman's dream.

Who would love being Henry Lawson?

>>3481593

>>3481656
Actually, the second X chromosome is inactivated during development, so it there's a 50% chance there'd be next to no traits from perfect woman, so it's all kind of wasted

>>3481385
She never shuts the fuck up about her perfect self and her dad.

People rag on about daddy issues and they are mostly full of shit, but that Bitch really does have huge fucking issues with her dad, it's part of what defines her entire character, fuck, Tali's dad controls her life after death and she isn't that bad.

Worse, the only thing perfect about her is dat ass.

Let's play a game of PRETEND.

Imagine if you could get to design any party members you like for the Mass Effect series, with the only limits being they must use pre-existing ME races and ME abilities and they cannot already exist in the ME universe.

What characters would you make to be in your party, in term of background, personality and gameplay?

>>3481852
>>3481852

I was given the impression that he'd nick his own X, modify it and duplicate it for Miranda. Just so that it doesn't curl up in the foetal position as a Barr body.

>>3482203
I'm pretty sure Elcor don't actually preface their sentences with emotions, that's just the translator interpreting the pheromones.

That feel when richfag, bought a shitload of packs with BioWare points, the MP became boring super fast...

>>3482341

Does anybody like Allers Seems like they could have left her out of the game altogether and lost nothing?

She has no purpose in being in the game, that's for sure. It was something to please the lonely fanboys, that love someone who licks gaming accessories to get a mainstream career in gaming. I think I went a little top deep with your question, but it's the truth. :D

They could have left all of the secondary characters out of the game and lost nothing, that's what makes them secondary. But I do like having my own personal propaganda machine.

They probably should've done more with her if she was gonna be there. I guess maybe not everyone brings her on to the ship almost immediately, but I would've preferred that she interviewed Shepard after every major mission and not just three times.

I don't understand all the hate that Jessica Chobot/Diana Allers get(s). She's a decently written character, in my opinion. She's not my FAVORITE, but she's not terrible either. What really makes me mad are the people who say there was some sort of "backroom deal" between IGN and Bioware to put her in the game. That's ridiculous.

^Yeah, everyone knows IGN doesn't need that big of a bribe to give you the rating you want. Jk. Sorta.

Allers is kind of generic and pointless, but no worse than a bunch of other tertiary characters. I don't have anything against her being there. But good LORD is Chobot a terrible actress.

>>3482793
Considering Chobot's performance, I'm not sure how anyone in their right mind could find her character interesting. Every single line delivery she gave sounded stiff and artificial; honestly, I can't recall a more awkward performance. I really don't mind the purpose of that kind of character (the reporter embedded on the front lines), but Bioware already had two other characters that fit that role -- Emily Wong and Khalisah Bint Sinan al-Jilani -- One of those two would've worked fine, they didn't need to create an additional character just for that. Why bring in Chobot?

Questions?

It's nice to see something mildly amusing while scrolling through the classes.

I name all my characters based on their ME counterparts:

Turian named: Gurras
Asari named: Laria
Salarian named: Mirdon
Krogan named: Xrew

>>3482992
Shouldn't that be "Werx"?

In the last general thread i proposed the idea that if the council had used asari mind melds to extract the information on the reapers that was given to Shepard from conversations with Saren, benezia, sovereign, and most importantly Vigil

Several anons pointed out that all the information given to shepard could be a trick by the geth and/or saren to make organics believe that reapers exist when sovereign was just a geth dreadnaught, or a prothean dreadnaught obtained by saren, or some other explanation, and that there way no way to conclude conclusively that reapers existed. And therefore the council was right in dismissing this threat...

I did some research on this, and I believe I have found a piece of evidence to disprove this

When Shepard talks to the Vigil on ilos, he gives you large amounts of information on the reapers. If vigil only talked about the reapers, there would still be a possibility that it was just a VI designed by the geth or saren to trick shepard

But Vigil does more than just talk, at the end of their conversation, Vigil gives shepard a VERY IMPORTANT data file, this file allows shepard to take full control of the cidadel and it's surrounding mass relays and send in the alliance fleet immediately after he uploads the file to the citadel computers

Saren does not have this file, he cannot immeditately gain control of the citadel, which allows shepard time to defeat him and sovereign.

continued...

>>3483034

Good one, when I get the Brogan Manguard I'm naming him like that.

>>3483045
If vigil was a VI designed by saren/geth to trick shepard, saren would already have the data file necessary to take full control of the station and would have used it, this means that the data file is indeed prothean in origin and not geth/sarens

Even if saren did create the file, but somehow "lost" the data file when traveling through the conduit, and if vigil itself was a ruse by saren/geth, it would still be completely illogical for vigil to give shepard the data file that would help him defeat saren and the geth--it would give shepard a fake data file or no data file at all (or simply stop shepard from using the conduit)

Even if shepard's copy of the file is somehow destroyed AND the citadel computer's records are destoryed (the ones showing shepard uploading the file and the subsequent release of the entire stations controls and mass relays to shepard), the alliance fleet would still have a record of shepard opening the relays around the citadel for them to use, which means he was able to control the station

All of this means that the only logical conclusion is that VIGIL IS A GENUINE PROTHEAN VI, and the everything he said to shepard was true, the reapers exist, and are not some kind of trick by saren or the geth

Mind melds with shepard and the squadmates that accompanied him through the citadel would likely be able to confirm he was telling the truth, if that was even necessary at this point, and would be able to give the council more details on the reapers (since shepard has a nasty habit of not recording anything anybody tells him)

Only mode is horde mode. With three other players, you take on larger and more powerful waves of enemies. Three difficulties, bronze, silver, gold. When you win, you get credits and XP, to level up. Each class-race combination has three active abilities and two passives you can level up. For example, a Krogan Soldier has different abilities and plays differently from a Human Soldier. The items you buy with credits are completely random - it functions like trading card games. You get a booster pack, full of random items. You can end up with the same trashy thing over and over if you're unlucky or you can get something stupidly rare on the first go if you're lucky.

>>3483351
>>3483363
Bullshit. All she does is come dance in your room like a skank. With Traynor there's serious romance there, she and Shep were even planning their life together.

Everybody was saying that the mind meld thing was
A) Not something that would be useful during ME1
Which you've admitted here
And
B) Using mind meld to extract and authenticate information isn't something that WE UNDERSTAND ENOUGH TO SAY IS EVEN A VIABLE OPTION.

IGNORE THE CAPS KEYBOARD JUST BROKE

>>3483485
I can't be the only one who thought she was going to kiss you during that scene right?

>>3483363
all you do with kelly is have her dance.

There is a lot more to Traynor, she laso isn't a fucking naive moron.

Has someone ever managed to make an asian femshep that looks good?

>>3483105
Why not name him "Gnurt"?

>>3483298
That sounds pretty cool actually. I think I'll go for it.

>>3483651

I was really hoping for it.

>>3483291
She sounds like a sheltered American girl trying to do a British accent. It's fucking unbearable.

>>3483620
it would still be useful during mass effect 1 (albeit at the very end), say right after the attack on the citadel to determine wtf just happened

it would have certainly been useful for before mass effect 2, when the council "dismisses" the reaper claims

Since Vigil is a genuine prothean VI, they only have to determine what was said by the VI, if they trust shepard to tell the truth then the problems end their, otherwise...

it's already said that in me1 that asari can share memories, it's only safe to assume that they can extract data from them (Liara does this to shepard several times)...authentication may be more difficult, but if you can extract the memories of all the squadmembers who went through the conduit and compare them they should at least be able to determine if shepard and company are lying about what vigil said [why the fuck would they] (especially if this was done right after the event they would not have had enough time to get their stories straight).

Not even five min before the credits hit, that would have wrecked the flow of the ending.

>>3484059
No, I'm not joking not do I usually have a bad ear for accents. It sounds awful and they should have picked someone else. I'm glad they at least tried, but I wouldn't have known it. Something about how she speaks just sounds... wrong.

>>3484131

>>3484181
Are you American? Being British, it was the sort of voice I hear with fair regularity on my commute to London. I don't see how it feels wrong. I disliked it because I dislike British accents out of principle, but nonetheless.

>>3483291
>true love
Naw.

Traynor's cute but she doesn't hold a candle to Dr. T'Soni.

>>3484181
Well the accent is genuine.
Where are you from? This would make more sense if you were British, since they think a real accent is fake if you tell them it is, or American, because they typically suck at accents.


>>3484187
How is it lazy not to make random shit for no reason?

>>3483291
I like her but Liara is simply a superior LI for Female Shepard. Traynor is cool, plays strategy games and has a 6000 credits sex toy/toothbrush combo but she's not Liara.

>>3484278
She is not a justicar, why she is wearing that outfit?

>>3484278
We do get it, you know. You like Liara. Come on, now.

>>3484261
>>3484302

Yes. I've known brits, though like, actual people, not just movies and TV, before some faggot tries to be clever. I'm bilingual, too, and I have a pretty good ear for accents and such usually... I guess it's just me, but something about the way she pronounces certain syllables just bothers the hell out of me.

>>3484340
Who told you it was a justicar outfit?

>>3484406
Those things on her head.

>>3483903
Just like Javik sounds like an American doing a Nigeria accent right? Her VA is from London, get your shit together son. Seems like people are using "lol accent so fake" as a criticism more and more. Even when it's a real accent.

>>3484457
What about them?

>>3484145
Well might point was not that "bovody said they couldn't do it," it is actually that everything in mass effect 1, 2, and 3 indicates that it CAN be done, and the asari are simply stupid or lazy for not doing this sort of thing more often

>Not even five min before the credits hit, that would have wrecked the flow of the ending.

Well not if they had done it right, they could have just alluded to verifying shepard's claims at the end of 1 with a few sentences of dialogue, then gone into detail if needed at the beginning of 2 or with DLC (as much as i hate to say that)

>>3484397
>Known Brits
>being bilingual
I don't want to denigrate you, man, because I do get what you're saying. But being British and quadrilingual I can tell you now, the accent is absolutely fine. It's just that British accents are inherently bad.

>>3484484
Only justicars wear them. Have you seen another Asari with this things?

>>3484482
>Javik doing a Nigerian accent
What the fuck?
>lol accent so fake
It just sounds bad in my opinion. It doesn't sound 100% wrong or anything, but like I said, certain words and syllables strike me as just... off.

>>3484529
No. One justicar wears them. It may be a common piece of jewelry in Armali republic.

>>3484457
I hate those things. They're like the Asari version of visors. At least bioware doesn't feel the need to pt them on fucking everything. No one likes the visor bioware does, but they keep doing them. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, I think bioware's official stance on criticism is "Yeah, fuck you, you don't know shit.".

>>3484572
People were saying Javiks accent was fake, even though the VA is from Nigeria. He's names Ike Amadi or something like that.

>>3484529

I hadn't even thought about Javik. I'm just more used to a certain preconception about British accents, I guess, and something about Treynor's VA seemed weird to me. I don't know why, it seems based on the feedback that I should probably have kept my mouth shut.

Such as?
ME1- we know more or less nothing about how it works or if it can be used as you say.
ME2- When is it mentioned?
ME3- When you share memories with Liara it's confusing as hell and makes zero sense. Yet you think that this same thing can produce information the council will value?

The only time we see it firsthand it makes no sense, this is what I am talking about.


Also why quote the typo? Are you trying to be a dick or something?

>>3484529
You saw one justicar wearing something that looks like that and have assumed that it is offical justicar clothing?
Where do people come up with this stuff?

>>3484770
I think this is because treynors accent is the same accent that americans in bad movies/shows in the past would copy to try and sound British...and thus when you hear that accent it sort of sound wrong or fake regardless of whether or not its real..at least it's that way for me

>>3484686
That was meant to be Justicar!
I saved up 1.3mil and got: 3Batarian Sentinels, Batarian Soldier, 2 widows, Carnafex, 2 Strikers (enjoying the gun on my turian soldier), Geth SMG and some lesser stuff.
Really russled my jimmies when someone with the Justicar would just use the shield skill on ammo boxes as if they were sacred instead of using it when capping points.
Really confusing having a Geth infiltrator on the team. Keep thinking they're Geth hunters.

That would make a lot more sense than anything my sleep-deprived mind has come up with so far.

>>3484827
>You saw one justicar wearing something that looks like that and have assumed that it is offical justicar clothing?
Well, to be honest it's perfectly natural to assume so. Special orders and associations usually have some distinctive element to them, and no other asari had that choker/tiara shit. I mean, do you expect justicars to just go "I'm a justicar" and other asari believe them on the spot?
Dunno if the justicars on MP have that thing though.

>>3485010
That looks like it took about 15 minutes in MS Paint. Fucking christ.

>>3485050
They don't have it.

They do look really old though, I thought that was a nice touch. I don't think we see any old asari at all in ME3. They're all young and beautiful.

Kinda but when you see somebody else wearing that stuff like Liara you should realise that the assumption was wrong.
Thats why people were stringing you along, they wanted you to realise how it didn't really make sense.

>I mean, do you expect justicars to just go "I'm a justicar" and other asari believe them on the spot?
A bit of plastic on the forhead is hardly a badge of office.
Doesn't Samara say something like "there is no uniform leadership, there is only the code" Or some bullshit during her lectures on what she is?

>>3484827
In mass effect 1 Liara bonds with you several times and shares memories, shiala does the same thing with shepard and also mentions doing it with saren. They both indicate this is is sort of a normal ability for asari and isn't anthing amazing. in me3 liara shares her memories with shepard, and although its just a bright light light, i would assume that she picked that specific memory for a reason, everything i've ever read or seen in the game (or parts of the wiki I've read, or other posts from /v/ and /vg/) indicates that they can share memories, granted it's not in your face every few minutes but it's there (I haven't read the comics or books so if they say something contradictory then fuck me)

i quoted "bovody" because I honestly thought that the letter switching was some sort of clever way to indicate someone was stuttering or something that i never knew about, i wasn't sure so i decided to quote it exactly as you wrote it. i initially thought it might have been a typo for "nobody", but for years i've used an ergonomic keyboard where 'b' and 'n' are impossible to hit accidentally, and I guess I had sort of forgotten that they are really easy to hit accidentally on normal keyboards. No insult intended.

>>3484529


The Justicars in the MP don't wear then, and the only Asari using headpieces we see are Samara and Liara, both of them are from the Armali Republic. So maybe it's fashionable in Armali.


By the way, I wonder how Armali fared during the Reaper invasion, Liara, Samara, Shiala are all from there.

>>3485413
>If Shepard allows David to stay at Project Overlord, then Gavin will be with the group of ex-Cerberus scientists. Upon being questioned, Gavin reveals that the data on controlling the geth from Project Overlord was in fact useful, and David eventually calmed down his emotions somewhat but one day just stopped responding to any stimuli at all. Gavin then had to pull the life support plug on David as a mercy killing. This caused Gavin to eventually defect from Cerberus since the guilt finally became too much. After the ex-Cerberus-scientists are rescued, Dr. Gavin Archer will assist in the war effort.

>>3485569
>I wonder how Armali fared during the Reaper invasion

>>3485635
Here's another BAD END
>However, if Shepard releases David to Grissom Academy but then does not complete the Grissom Academy mission before it's locked out and the students die, David is killed in the Cerberus attack as well. Then, if Shepard meets Dr. Gavin Archer later, Gavin will pull out a pistol, walk away, and a gunshot rings out. Even if the Grissom Academy mission was completed beforehand, Shepard can lie to Archer and claim they do not know David's fate, which will also cause him to commit suicide.

How fucking sad.

>>3485763
wow i didn't realize you could lie to him and make him commit suicide...

>>3485672

I'm confused about what happened to Thessia.

On one hand the Reapers leaved it alone for most of the game, but then there's info stating that they waited that much because they massed a huge armada to attack Thessia (the Asari still managed to destroy many reapers ships and put then into the defensive for a while).

Maybe they didn't suffer such catastrophic amounts of damage like the other homeworlds.

>>3485563
>In mass effect 1 Liara bonds with you several times and shares memories
Correction, she reads the Brothean Beacon burned into your brain. That is not the same thing, in fact if you recall she says she might be able to help because of the nature of it.

>shiala does the same thing with shepard
Another burned into brain thing. Again, unclear how it works and this isn't a memory being trasnfered exactly.


These examples are both not about memories, the only one that you do have that is a memory is, something we do not understand.

>>3485867
when she said that she may be able to help because of the nature of it, she meant that she may be able to help because she has the unique knowledge of prothean history (being a prothean researcher) not because of any special quality of the beacon memories themselves.

I disagree that the prothean beacons memories somehow "don't count" as memories, especially after shepard obtains the cipher, the game seems to simply treat them as visions which he stores as memories that happened to be delivered in an unusual way, as far as i can tell.

In the one case that wasn't a beacon vision memory, the memory doesn't seem clear to us, but she seems to have the ability to make both her and shepard appear in a sort of 3 dimensional mind-space where they can interact while viewing what she calls "a memory." This seems even more impressive than just sharing memories to me. If she can pull this off, as well as seeing the beacon vision, im convinced she (or especially a matriarch with extension joining experience) could read memories quite easily.

Regardless, liara tells shepard directly that asari can "share memories, thoughts, and feelings" and no one every contradicts this, the only people who mention it only confirm it. If you want to believe otherwise and think that her abilites aren't as extension as she says and shows us in game, than that's your prerogative.

>>3486593
No, he's not. New classes are the Geth, Batarians, Asari Justicar, and Krogan Vanguard... You know, all the ones in the fifth slot per page.

>>3486861
>I disagree that the prothean beacons memories somehow "don't count" as memories
They are not the same, you need the cypher for them to make even a little sense remember?

She isn't looking at your memory of getting hit by the beacon, she is looking at the message, a message that might have killed other people.
This shit is no regular memory, the game makes it very clear.

>This seems even more impressive than just sharing memories to me
But it isn't sharing memory in such a way that helps your point.

>If
Here we go, remember how my point was that this was mostly a creation of yours with nothing really saying it could work?
Here you are proving my point by saying that becayse this other thing can happen, what you think maybe could.

No, thats not how this works.


>Regardless, liara tells shepard directly that asari can "share memories, thoughts, and feelings"
Asari being able to do withing with Asari in one situation isn't the same as Asari and humans doing something else in another situation.

2) How did this "When I'm X" get started? I've seen it done for going fast too.

Do this. Do this all the time.
You can easily be successful with this on Gold with the right mods. I had Cyclonic Mod3, Ar Rail Amp 3 and you can tell what rounds they were. Gentleman and ladies, meet your new high risk class.
My build was : BioSphere 6, Reave 6, Pull 3, Justicar 5, Fitness 6. With Biosphere I went protection, but if you want to go 100% offensive go Radius, then Weakness, then the last one, Warp Effect is the one that matters the mos and brings the whole build together. I choose not to Reave with this strat, although it's at 6 so you can leave that at 3 if you want., but with it I went Duration, Reduction, and Barriers. Justicar: Duration and Cap, then Power Damage. Fitness was all the shield stuff. If I were to change it to pull, I would go Radius, Expose. then Duration and Combo.

>They are not the same, you need the cypher for them to make even a little sense remember?

I took that into account, liara bonds with you after you obtain the cipher and is able to view the whole memory. Once shepard has the cipher, he is able to make sense of the vision and they become just like another memory. It no longer his weird dreams or anything. The cipher makes him essentially prothean, and he is able to handle and comprehend the vision normally.

>But it isn't sharing memory in such a way that helps your point.
I think it is. Her choice of memory seems strange to you but is significant to her. Her ability to view it from a distance was impressive and it means that she would be able to give her memory from what happened on ilos with vigil (i took her with) to another asari or human if needed (even if they did have to view it in third person, that should still be fine).


>Asari being able to do withing with Asari in one situation isn't the same as Asari and humans doing something else in another situation.

I didn't say it was just asari-on-asari, and neither does she. She talks about being able to bond with multiple different species, she tells you this, shepard, a human, who is bonding with her, that she can share memories, thoughts, and feelings. she says that an asari consciously attunes her nervous system to her partner's, sending and receiving electrical impulses directly through the skin, and that the asari and her partner briefly become one unified nervous system. This is never refuted anywhere and is only confirmed by others. I can only assume that she meant what she said. I guess she and every other asari could be lying, if you want to think that.

>>3487890

>>3487265
just because something is described as a "vision" doesn't mean it isn't a memory.

I can have visions in a dream, then later remember those visions...that doesn't mean that the visions are somehow not a memory.

Their greatest mistake was to use the same exe for single and multiplayer. If the multi would have been a game sold separately it would've been more successful.

Single + Multi -> $60
Multi alone -> $30
Would've bought it if it was like this. Pirated the singleplayer already, but I don't bother with the multi because of the full game price, singleplayer wouldn't be worth it.

Many games separate single- and multiplayer files. Bioshock or Splinter Cell for example. Selling the MP alone would be a huge step forward in the gaming industry. By the time ME3 costs 20 bucks, what it's actually worth, the MP mode will be dead or only crowded with tourneyfags having unlocked every single item. Obnoxious assholes to point it out directly. Might as well move off to other games if so...

>i'll never unlock a batarian
feels horrid, man

>>3488027

It'd also avoid the huge fucking problem where if you make any mods for multiplayer and are using a legit copy it bans you, thus leading people to cracked versions to address the many, many flaws.

The memory of something and the thing itself are clearly not the same.

Well guys. Time to venture into the reaches of my past. Something that happened 5 years prior, that shaped the man I am today. I was only 13 years old when it happened, and to see myself now a successful adult - I'd like to relive the part of my past that turned me into this. Something I and many others know as...
Mass Effect.

>>3488341

Haha, how yo-

Holy shit

>>3488027
this exactly, i would have considered buying the multi-only if that had been an option, but i'm fucking poor and i can't really justify the cost. (I'd probably only buy the multi if it was 20 bucks or less though).

at least both of you dropped balls by now.

Well I've played a little bit, and I can safely say that the character development is shit. Why can't they tell me how they're feeling? Better yet, why can't they show me how they're feeling? I know we're supposed to be professional, but I guess it's just not the characters I've grown to know...

There's a 65 year old regular on /r9k/.
Of course, that'd require you going to /r9k/, but still.

>>3488617

i've seen some mods around. though i've never seen them actually do anything. so i suppose it's the same as not having any at all.

the fact the quarians destroyed this.... the fact how fucking retarded and racist they were and wouldn't leave the geth alone. fuck the quarians. they can all die. including their shittiest admiral and engineer tali

>>3488909

That's a bit racist

Does Origin have any kind of record of how many people have been playing the Multiplayer like Steam?

>>3489017
Origin even scans what torrents you're downloading.
What kind of question is that?

>>3489017
idk but i'd be interested to find out

(it seems like something they would have, origin is so invasive that i find it hard to believe they would neglect to see how many people are online)

>>3489017
I don't think the glorious workers paradise that is EA has developed the technological capacities yet. Because of the rine.

Did anybody else NOT see Udina's betrayal coming?
I mean, he fucked us over multiple times in the past, but we were still mostly on the same side. The Cerberus thing was just pure fucking uncalled for betrayal.

>>3488416
>I was 15
>I've been playing ME for a quarter of my life

Hmm... That puts things into perspective. I knew I was pissed off, I knew I was justified in it, and I knew it was because of more than just the horrible writing.

>>3489114
Kinda ruined his character tho. Always saw him as selfish. The coup was implying that there are actually good politicians out there.

>>3489017

Of course. They use it for their financial reports to investors. However, much like with Tortanic they're doing their best to hide/delay the reveal so people can't see how abominable it is.

>>3489114
>>3489169

As I recall the reason he was doing it was because Cerberus promised that if they got the citadel then they'd make all the resources they would then control go purely into liberating Earth. He was just trying to save humanity.

>>3489017
>>3489107
What about the leaderboard?

>>3489114
Bioware can't into grey. People didn't like Udina. LOL HE TRIES TO KILL THE COUNCIL AND TAKE OVER THE CITADEL! GOOD THING YOU HATED HIM RITE? There is a better explanation, but it's never even touched in the game, hell the entire coup is barely mentioned after it happens. As if we needed more evidence that ME3 was a rushed piece of shit.

>>3489114
If it wasn't for the leaks? Not really.

He was a cunt in ME1 but didn't have much of a role in ME2. Come ME3 and he's actually on our side for a change, and taking his job as a councilor very seriously. Made me like him, even.

>>3488964
It's unfortunate ME2 and ME3 did what it did to the geth and quarians. They were probably the most interesting culture introduced in ME1, even if you only heard about them from Tali.

>>3489114
i was surprised also (pleasantly, because i hated that dick, and was SO excited when the renegade prompt came up to kill him--no way was i gonna let kaidan do the honors)

It seemed like he was actually starting to be an okay guy in 3, and then he just goes full on crazy.

Although in LotSB i think they showed udina meeting with a cerberus agent (or was it anderson? i can't remember) so it may not have been totally without forshadowing if you played the dlc (although you could assume he just had a mole inside cerbers, there was no way to know for sure)

>>3489208
I'm sure investors are none the wiser

>>3488964

i can't imagine them actually destroying something like that (it was a partially-built dyson bubble they actually destroyed iirc). also the entire geth/quarian arc was so forced in ME3, i cannot comprehend why people like it.

>>3489293
>He was a cunt in ME1 but didn't have much of a role in ME2. Come ME3 and he's actually on our side for a change, and taking his job as a councilor very seriously. Made me like him, even.

This. Udina had a decent amount of character development, and his interactions with Shepard were good. He was just a guy who was trying to deal with a situation, a guy trying to deal with leading a species of 11 billion basically alone. He and Shepard had a mutal understanding, they needed to do something, and they needed to work together. It could have been a good dynamic, but it all got thrown out for "lol evul maybe he was indoctrinated or something, I don't know. Hey check it out, Quarians.".

>>3489256
Yeah, that's what I assumed too. I mean, you'd think the transition from greedy prick to betrayer of your own kind would be more obvious.

>>3489429

Same shit for TIM in ME3. During ME2 he was a bro, then suddenly he's indoctrinated/evil

>>3489392
only THQ has a worse stock and THQ is pretty much alive
if you get your hopes up that EA will die you are a delusional faggot. they are fucking rich, even if they have a negative balance the last months it won't kill them.

sure it feels good to see them crash and burn. but shop one head off the gorgo and a new fucking snake grows out of it.

>EA/bioware in a nutshell

>>3489309
It was Anderson. Udina just assaults some random guy.

>>3489419

I find it odd that they had the time to destroy even half of the dyson bubble. Sure, it was "just" a shit load of space stations without any external shell but there were millions of the damn things and the entire geth fleet to contend with. Despite the Quarians having one of the biggest fleets (I refuse to believe that the Geth don't outnumber them) they shouldn't have been able to destroy both the bubble and defend' themselves from the geth fleet - it'd be one or another, even with the fact that the stations would be mostly defenceless (can't move thus easy target.). Then you throw in the ground based assets (cannons) and it gets even more ridiculous.

>>3489502

EA Inc. is fucking well off, stop breathing out of your ass, I can still smell your shit on my continent.

>>3489568

You obviously have no idea how it works in the industry. Terms like cash flow mean anything to you?

>>3489680

>Implying they've been making any profit for the past 6 years.
>EA Inc. is fucking well off

>implying that's what I said
Are you stupid or something?

>>3489530

there's also the question of why the geth were building the sphere around rannoch's star in the first place. they've been established as wanting nothing to do with organics and said they wouldn't mind the quarians if they moved back to the homeworld. so why would they put their entire civilization near rannoch? seems like it would only cause problems for them

>>3489568
but how significant is there net loss in profits every year in respect to their net worth or net assets? I honestly don't know, i've seen that balance sheet and income statement posted a lot but never really paid attention to it.

>>3489729
>Are you stupid or something?
>hurr, durr I have no more arguments everyone is stupid except me

Behold, the only fat person in the Mass Effect series.

>ashley's approval is tied to both ken/gabby dialogue and the garrus/tali dialogue (which pops up throughout the game and they flirt a lot over comms, generally making their last-minute hookup make sense)
Fuck you, bioware, I don't want to play through with Ashley, she's not the same woman I knew in ME and her redesign makes me cringe.

>>3489809
I bet he's an american.

>>3489729
>>3489568
>confirmed for knowing shit about economics

>>3489809

he's not really fat if his body uses the same model everyone else does. more accurate to say he has a bloated face.

>>3489808

You really are thick, aren't you.
Of course I don't have any arguments for it because that's not what I was saying in the first place. Why would I argue something I wasn't saying?

>>3489735
i've brought this up before and there seems to be really no good answer

>>3489735
Guys, the Quarians didn't destroy the Sphere. It was Bioware in their lazyness when they couldn't get their ass up do design a Sphere to be shown ingame

>>3489830
>ashley's approval is tied to both ken/gabby dialogue
What the fuck are you talking about?

>>3489879
not the guy you were talking to, but can you please stop being autistic?

>>3489830

Does my new form not please you?

>>3485114
Why isn't autism cured by 2185?

>>3489735
I guess because they really want the quarians to come back and be friends with them. They work via logic and the quarians are fucking retarded, so they probably can't work out why they want to destroy them when they only defended themselves and let fleeing quarians escape unmolested.

Anybody know of a way to skip the combat in Mass Effect? I wanna get through this in less than 24 hours. I made a bet with a friend I could finish it in one sitting, except for bathroom breaks, so if there's some kind of cheat that'll help me go through faster I'd really appreciate it.

Wrex...

>>3489906
hahaha that's actually the best explanation, i'm saddened but not surprised

>>3489937
Because it's advantagous for SCIENCE

>>3489907
Ken and Gabby have a shitton more dialogue and possibly get it on if Ash is present and has a good relationship with Shepard. If you saved Kaidan or Ash doesn't join your crew/you kill her at the coup then you get pretty much nothing from them.

>>3489906
Lack of resources.

>>3489962
Just put it on the lowest difficulty and get a trainer.

>>3489906
You're so entitled.

>>3489962
um put it on easy mode, then skip most of the story? you don't even have to recruit garrus if you don't want

i actually think there were cheats in me1, they could be used with the console (the terminal, not an xbox lol) but i don't remember what any of the specifics were, you'll have to look that up

>>3489907
Like he said, evidently Ashley's approval controls whether Gabby and Ken get new dialog. The reason they one had a few lines of dialog in the game is because the rest won't trigger if Ashley isn't there and with the right approval level. This is the explanation straight from Bioware.

>>3489962
