I'm starting to wonder if I'm the only dude that went left. And we will never see the other heavy weapons again for the rest of the lp. Well except for showing off new pick ups I suppose

Tali's recruitment mission is a lot of fun if you bring Legion with you. Reegar: "Shepherd watch out! There's a Geth right behind you!"

The Space Ozone Layer plotline didn't make a lot of sense anyway, why do the Reapers need more GPUs, why not just wipe out life and continue space calculus, etc. It's not like the answer the writers came up with in ME3 is a lot better but this reminds me of that episode of Star Trek:The Next Generation where running the warp drives is destroying the galaxy, but the writers forgot about it in the next episode because it would make a very boring series otherwise. The right side is the objectively correct way to approach the Colossus, there's also a little nest you didn't show off (kind of near where Thane sits once he starts shooting Geth again) where you can happily fire at the Colossus between reloads and it will never try to self-repair.

Just stand two feet to the left and fire the Cain at the ground behind the Colossus. It'll just keep firing in to the pillar and it still gets blasted in one hit from the splash damage.

Haestrom is a part of the abandoned Dark Matter plotline, the idea being that the star burned out faster because Dark Matter etc. etc. The TNG Plot was actually referenced. In later episodes they need authorization from starfleet to go to higher speeds than warp 5, and the reason why Voyager has the weird bendy nacelles is to change the shape of the warp field so it will still engulf the ship, but any ripples beyond that would be broken up by the competing patterns.

It can clot a little like cream. That's why. The rest is it being too thick to drink on it's own. Also, Half&Half + Club Soda (or any sort of carbonated water) + flavoring syrup = an italian soda. If only half & half kept longer

 A great biotic wind The Drink Justicarbomb 2 oz vodka 1.5 oz blue curaco Club soda Half and half Prior to mixing, chill the vodka in the freezer for 2 hours; refrigerate the club soda. In a pint glass mix the vodka and club soda. Put the curaco in a shot glass and drop it in. Top off with H&H. The ideal way to drink it is to use a straw - put it in the shot glass and pull the straw up through the layers when you drink for a nice flavor mixture. Simple version: Uh, I guess put some vodka in blue koolaid. The drinking game Drink whenever someone says "justicar" or "code." Godspeed. The Episode We bop back to Illium and go looking for an Asari samurai/ronin. Everyone is freaking out because Justicars apparently kill even more people in everyday encounters than we do and since Illium is kind of rules-free there are lots of opportunities for shooting. Also someone murdered a bowling ball. We meet a cop who's After a short fight we meet Samara who is dramatically trying to extract information from the mercs. The repeating problem of the oversexualized Asari crops up and this monastic warrior is basically a MILF who runs around in high heels showing more cleavage than you can shake a stick at. Bad presentation aside I like Samara's VA. If we can get the name of the ship her target left on then we can skip the unpleasantness of a reenactment of the police station scene in the first Terminator movie. We kill all the mercs (except one), blow up a gunship, and set a stoned volus up for failure. However we get the info we need and Samara swears a glowy oath to follow us. If you go renegade in your playthrough she doesn't try to kill you but she sure doesn't like you by the end. Now we've got all the dossiers taken care of we'll get one forced plot mission but otherwise it's all loyalties from here on out.

Isn't skipping the shield upgrade a good thing, considering the consequence? That outfit is stupid... stomach cleavage. Almost as stupid as the code that forces the "good" and "noble" justicar to murder a lot of cops. Speaking of cleavage, it's even dumber once you realize people tend to do things in the direction they are looking so if they're staring at her blue tits they'll also be shooting at the part the lovely excuse for armor doesn't cover.

I saw a photoshop or mod where all they did was fill in the chestplate and it makes Samara look way more awesome. I'll try to dig it up somewhere, but it was so simple. like, two minutes with the fill tool. It's just a total disconnect from character to outfit - real  stuff. I think even the VA (she did face capture too, right?) was like "ummm remember I just did VA and face, not uh, the rest" at first.Poil: yeah the whole "so the Code means you don't get to stop me" wasn't perfectly executed, but I took it more of "you and I both know there's no reason for you to do this other than corrupt interests from on high" with unfortunate consequences for the poor cop having to follow orders. As in, it's not so much the Justicar Code at fault as the problem of applying a black and white morality on Blue Noveria Planet. The cop more or less says as much.

There's really a whole lot of stupid going on in the background with this mission. Pitne For is a smuggler, but you don't need to smuggle poo poo into Nos Astra. Get a goddamn license, even the Minagen would probably be fine if you hired those two ladies in the transport hub to write your waiver. That aside, Samara knows poo poo involves Pitne For, so get him to flip on the Eclipse, get a warrant and arrest everyone in the hideout. And Anaya could just tell her superiors "gently caress you, I ain't detaining a Justicar. Fired is better than dead."

The red sand isn't an issue, but the biotic/poison bioweapon nonsense on that manifest might actually be illegal. Best explanation I can come up with anyway.

Just sometimes the cracks don't show as hard as this mission. On the plus side, it's really easy to translate to Star Wars and use it as another example of why Jedi are dumb Also Samara is smarter than the situation would imply (and her VA sells her very well.) Most of the dumbness in the above situation can be pinned on the code rather than her. That of course begs the question of why she would want to follow it in the first place, but hey, the strangest people can end up in monastic orders for the weirdest reasons. SubponticatePoster posted:Claymore's problem is the poo poo-tier ammo count. Also I almost never use it because when I get the option to specialize I usually take a sniper if I don't have one. Take that, unchargeable targets! FoolyCharged posted:The red sand isn't an issue, but the biotic/poison bioweapon nonsense on that manifest might actually be illegal. Main way I see it is that even if normally-illegal stuff is legal on Illium, there's still a bunch of rules to follow and Pitne For has probably broken/bended those rules considering he sold toxic biotic god drugs to the Eclipse in the first place. I mean, you don't want a supply of red sand laced with BIOTIC GODLYNESS to get onto the market, it's bad for business.

Fun fact: the ship's name, Demeter, is a Dracula reference. Also IIRC you can find a text log written by Elnora where she talks about killing people for the mercs and loving it. So she kinda played you.

Since it comes up at the start of this mission kinda, I hope you take Garus on Mordin's mission. Best lines. As for Samara, I like to think she COULD just go All Judge Dread and start "arresting" the corrupt cops in her way but knows it's not the right way to do things. Also she's old enough to see Shepard as an excellent way to meditate and take a break for A few hours while she lets that young human whipper snapper deal with this poo poo.
