I know Peter isn't in 3, that's why I'm saying it's impressive that I think 2 is even worse. Why hasn't he been in a Mass Effect game yet by the way. At least we got Lance Henriksen.

that reminds me: if you want to maximise your experience gains in ME1 while driving the Mako, whittle them down with your Mako gun until they have a sliver of health left then jump out and kill them by foot, if you kill an enemy while in the Mako you only get a quarter of the experience

My fav play-through was a renegade femshep with the darkest eyeshadow, lipstick, and hair. She was edgy as poo poo.

Oh, and she was a vanguard, so she was a major rear end-kicker too.

All the ME2 face-codes are is just the slider positions, there are webpages you can put a face code into and it'll give you the slider positions for ME1. It's a hassle putting them in but it works for ME2 faces.

I had this grand idea of playing through the entire trilogy in anticipation of this game (I never actually played ME3, but ME1&2 are some of my favorite games) but I'm having such a hard time getting into ME1 :qq: The clunky controls and UI, and most importantly the spider-eyelashes, skeletal-looking, fish-lipped player character. I'm the type of person who spends literal hours in character creators, but I just can't make anything resembling a human being in ME1s.
And you spend so much of the game looking at that face too :negative:

You're doing it wrong. Just use the default skin. It actually matches the voice for both.

I actually just replayed the Collector Ship level in ME2. Such a well paced mission and the art & sound design still holds up very well.

Even though there isn't actually a clock or anything (to my knowledge) by the end you really feel that "gotta get out gently caress gently caress" urgency they were trying to instill.

Yeah ME1 had the best soundtrack by far because it actually stuck to the 80s sci-fi vibe.

Vitamin P posted:

It's quite cool that a talky blockbuster video game has you playing as an immigrant. Give us DLC where we tear down an ill-conceived space wall.

It would be neat if a big Khet faction wants to deport the dirty immigrants back whence they came to the milky way. Which assuming a failshep playthrough, is still prowling with Reapers.

I'd also note Mako XP in ME 1 is 40% of on foot by default not 25%. I always just change it to 100%.

Faunts are great. And ME3 did get another Faunts song, Das Malefitz. I think Das Malefitz is actually probably better than M4 Part II.

I need to stop focusing on how much ME3 ruined the franchise for me because mmo-alike grinding for collectibles aside, DA:I had some pretty good story missions and I thought the climax was suitably dramatic with a satisfying conclusion.

So based on EA taking notes from that ME:A will probably be ok. Probably. Hopefully.

And if not gently caress it, at least we'll know for sure.

Don't worry, in an effort to never offend anybody's sensibilities again, all the characters in Mass Effect: Andromeda will be a careful composite of the dankest memes known to the franchise with sassy catchphrases you'll be repeating to your online friends for months to come!

I just remember religious town you started in, mage castle with time travel, upgrade castle, palace party, grey warden cameo level with unnecessarily long bonus demon level and forest zone with elven ruins (which I think describes half the zones in the game).
I had no idea what any of the locations were actually called even when I was playing it - frankly I didn't care or think it was important.

The story missions were good and I enjoyed those. Wanted more really. The dragged out filler content out less so. If you could skip straight to each major plot section where poo poo actually happens without all the repetitive filler crap I think DA:I might be much improved. And waaaaay shorter.
Also I barely used half the party members and stuck to starter tank Cassandra, annoying elf archer because upgrading varric's crossbow was even more annoying, then I endlessly alternated between the two dude mages trying to figure out which was better and came up with no conclusion.

Then there were those mounts which were completely useless for any reason whatsoever except that one skippable side quest that required a mount.

I just finished replaying ME2 and ME3 after not touching the series since beating ME3 shortly after launch. Time away and leviathan really went a long way towards making the ending less of a let down.
