I know, I like EDI as a character and her voice was really well done as a machine that's advanced in human language but her tits... I really think they're the biggest of any ME character. Maybe they could have taken a LOKI mech and put her in there, those didn't have ridiculous tits and fake high heels right? Actually the one thing about the sexbot I liked was the haircut. So let's just put that haircut on a LOKI or a FENRIS and then EDI can be totally mombot or momdog.

Just recently beat Citadel for the first time (as the conclusion to my second trilogy playthrough) and man, for everything Bioware messed up, they have an incredible knack for writing characters. Gonna' legitimately miss this universe. Are there any other games that have the whole "memorable ensemble cast" thing going on the way Mass Effect does? I've played the Metal Gear and Uncharted series a bunch (hell, I know Metal Gear like the back of my hand) and those are the only two series I can think of that are comparable in that regard.

For some reason I got quite annoyed with Kelly constantly telling me NO NEW MESSAGES COMMANDER in ME2 but I was okay with Traynor always telling me that Admiral Hackett was available in the war room on vidcomm or whatever. Maybe it's the accent.

Every time I got onto the bridge I always went right to my terminal. After I'd checked everything, I'd go off on my business but Kelly would tell me I had new messages. I think I fell for it about three times before I realized I was messing with her programming by going to the terminal before entering speaking range with her.

Does anyone know why the fuel mechanic exists in ME3? I've never once needed to refuel, and if I did, I'd just hit the Citadel. Why didn't they just remove the fuel drops and the mechanic entirely? Then again everything about scanning is kind of annoying.

It kind of worked as a callback to the fuel mechanic in ME2; where before you'd hit up a fuel station, now you can see the remains of fuel stations that the Reapers have destroyed because everything is hosed up and apocalyptic now

I just realized that by doing Leviathan before I'd picked up all of my crew members I deprived myself of some dialog. Boo. Leviathan itself was pretty amazing, though. The creaking of the metal when you're underwater really put me on edge. Leviathan itself cycling through its thralls was neat. All in all a great piece of DLC; glad I bought it. edit: I want to drop Warp Ammo for Dominate even though I know it's a very poor tactical choice. Why is Warp Ammo so amazingly good?  edit2: It is loving impossible to maintain any renegade scarring unless I play some sort of ungodly rear end in a top hat. Telling them that the dalatrass wanted me to leave the shroud sabotaged wiped out multiple missions of work. Elysiume fucked around with this message at 02:00 on Aug 5, 2013 |

I just started a replay of the trilogy and I'm curious if Kaidan gets better character development than Ashley over the course of the series because I've never had an ME1 playthrough where he's survived before and I want to try something different for this one.

Kaidan actually moves around the ship and talks to people instead of passing out drunk and staying in his room. He's also a much more versatile squadmate.

But he's still a whiny bitch, though I think that's more the VA than his writing...or both. I'm not even sure. All I know is he's a poster child for "sensitive white guy." Also, the "moves" he puts on male shepard are almost uncomfortable to watch. I was romancing Liara all through the series, then him and I have some bro-times in the Citadel café, and next thing I know, he puts his hands on Shep's hands, looks him in the eyes, and wants to be more than brothers. I guess my post means, in a nutshell, his character development is that he becomes bi-sexual, and gives no fucks about who you're romancing.

You must not have had your citadel date with Liara before going to Kaidan's. If you confirm your relationship with any npc then the topic doesn't even come up when you interact with the others. The mental distress you suffered from a male npc coming on to your character in the same way you had your character come on to lady npcs must have been terrible. Also, if you consider him a "sensitive white guy" you probably thought Cortez was just a big baby crying over his dead husband too, didn't you?

Quick gameplay question: The squad ammo powers. If you take the upgrade that gives other squadmates the ammo bonus at a reduced effectiveness, does it overwrite their own ammo power? I've never tried it in ME3 because I remember using it in ME2 just left squaddies fighting the effect and trying to put up their power while mine was overwriting theirs.

I thought Cortez was one of the best written "gay dudes" in any video game i've played, certainly the best from Bioware. You're probably right that I didn't do Liara's date first, but this was a playthrough straight from ME1, and I never deviated. I shouldn't have to game internal flags to force NPCs to act consistent with me. I'm not complaining that Kaidan is now suddenly gay, though that's it's own problem, i'm complaining that it comes out of nowhere for a male Shepard. And yea, he is a sensitive white guy. Cortez is more hardcore than Kaidan will ever be.

No yeah Kaiden is a total whiny bitch. In my first playthrough I was pretty disappointed with the romance options, so I stayed single until ME2 wherein I approached Garrus for a bootycall.
