Someone was asking about what the worst possible fail-Shep trilogy run would be a few pages back. This is one I played through myself:quote:ME1.

Its pretty funny though to complete the suicide mission then go back and burn Zaeed to death, especially if he is the one that helps you into the Normandy SR2

This is one I played through myself: I've often thought about the most failure way to play through Mass Effect, and it's actually somewhat complicated to think about. This is a pretty good guide! Is there a reason why you leave Zaeed loyal in this playthrough, seeing as how you can also get him killed in his own personal mission?

I'm inclined to disagree because it takes until the very end of ME3 to get Liara killed under circumstances that are very rare and most people would never probably experience.

Is any of the ME3 DLC actually worth it? About to start my replay of that but I haven't touched it since release.

The enjoyability of omega depends on how much you like Aria as a character and lash as a power.

anyway to the DLC question person: Citadel is great, a lot of it is meant to be hammy and cutesy and it pulls it off very well. Comes with a new hub-type area with a fair amount of stuff to do, the combat sim which is pretty neat, and lots of character interaction - and prior to unlocking that you have a new questline to follow that is very tongue-in-cheek but given the grimdark tone of the rest of the game comes off as very refreshing. Leviathan is okay, it has some great set-pieces, decent combat, and provides some frankly unnecessary and tacked-on feeling exposition about the reapers and their origins I don't have Omega because I didn't like Omega in ME2 and didn't want to deal with Aria at all e: I think there's also the content dlc? I don't remember, think I may have gotten some of it on sale.

As far as Aria goes, she has that overwrought intro in ME2, and the rest of her writing doesn't match that at all. You're supposed to get the feeling that she doesn't really have any interest in Shepard, but she clearly is interested in what he/she is doing. The character is a lot more consistent in ME3, where getting back Omega is at least a plausible motive for her.

EA seems to have a 30% off coupon right now; I don't know if the pre-order is $80 elsewhere, but knocking $24 off seems more palatable. e: welp, nevermind, apparently 'storewide' means 'but not that stuff in the store' JawKnee fucked around with this message at 23:42 on Dec 10, 2016 |

Lt. Danger posted:I agree, but I think this is a general Bioware writing Those are all companions though. Aria is given an intro that is utterly at odds with her relative narrative importance. I don't hate Aria, but she's definitely someone's pet character. Morrigan from DA is a lot worse in that respect though.

Lt. Danger posted:I agree, but I think this is a general Bioware writing true but those characteristics are... you know actual character traits, that get referenced or help us understand the characters better or w/e Aria... just talks a lot of poo poo but until Omega DLC never actually DID anything. She just sat around. And if there's one thing people don't like it's folks who talk themselves up but never follow through. I mean the game never really follows through, like they introduce her as someone big and important and then you have like three minor conversations and honestly she's completely irrelevant to both 2 and 3. I mean maybe this was intended, that we were supposed to just roll our eyes at her like, but I think it's more likely we were supposed to think she's so cool and badass she don't even have time for Shepard (and then they fail to actually deliver on that cool and badassness) or whatever and I hope you can see how folks might not like that sort of thing, even ignoring any sort of objective level of writing quality. honestly I think they could have changed a few things about her presentation- not even her character- and she'd be stronger for it.

Merrill still holds the title of worst bioware character. Worse than Mission, worse than Liara, worse than Sera. Not that she didn't have stiff competition from DA2 anders and pretty boy lyrium elf.

Well Aria's supposed to be the counterpart to the Citadel's Council - it's part of the whole Paragon/Renegade tone flip between ME1 and 2. All the "don't gently caress with Aria/I AM OMEGA" bombast is supposed to mirror the stuffy Council Saren inquiry/Spectre induction pomp. Plus the animation team showing off, of course.
