Drifter posted:I don't remember Samara saying there were 'only 3' Yakshis, just that all of her daughters were them. She does - she says "As far as I know, only three exist today. Two chose a life of seclusion. The third ran." Then once she discloses that Morinth is her daughter, if Shepard asks her how many children she has, she says "Three. And three Ardat-Yakshi are in existence today. It is as it sounds."

It could be the truth as she knows it, it could be a retcon, it could sort of not matter. quote:Samara: As far as I know, only three exist today. Two chose a life of seclusion. The third ran.  to me the simplest explanation is the ME3 writers chose to discard that because of what they wanted to do on the monastery mission and/or with banshees. And so, whatever.e: fffffff

Trast posted:Well she was an ageless serial killer who devoured her victim's souls to sustain herself with no remorse what so ever. How did you want them to sugar coat that? Change it so that Mornith is more like Dexter. She knows she has to kill but she tries to do good by targeting bad people like gang leaders, warlords, and drug dealers. And in their confrontation, have Mornith point out that while she has a compulsion, she's making an effort to change or to redirect it. If you do something that goes against The Code, Samara will kill without a second thought, because she's that devoted to The Code.

Such that Morinth killed her Parent, and since a criminal killed her mom, she fights (and kills) other criminals so that no other criminal has to go through the act of killing their own parents. The cycle continues...

In ME3 how do you increase the standard 50% galactic readiness? Was that the multiplayer side of things?

Even aside from the image Seemlar posted, Samara herself tells you about it. A life of seclusion, I believe, is the exact phrase she uses, but it's there. Drifter posted:In ME3 how do you increase the standard 50% galactic readiness? Was that the multiplayer side of things? Multiplayer and the defunct phone games - Infiltrator and Datapad. The N7HQ site lets you raise readiness without playing MP, you just click on some poo poo and wait - it basically replaced Datapad. http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/N7_HQ#Galaxy_at_War

It is really okay if Morinth embraces what a monster she is given the rest of the asari are portrayed as zealots, strippers, or snooty aristocrats. It is another side of the space elf coin.

Yo, that clone boss final battle royale in Citadel dlc is fuckin' hard as gently caress when you're an awesome Vanguard. She just keeps teleporting and then throwing nova blasts all day. And the hot black chick just won't stay fuckin dead. she's come back to life like four times now and the Clone just constantly keeps regaining health. The mooks keep reappearing as well. I don't even get it - I don't remember what I did way back in 2013 to beat this...is it like just a time thing - hold out for X minutes and then you win? It's pretty tough and fun but then it just doesn't stop?

She can also revive her partner when she goes down, but that gives you a chance to pummel them both. Just focus on Shepard.

The clone has a certain number of Medi-gels, not sure if it changes based on difficulty level, and you have to get them to use them all up by wearing their health down each time, once they have none left and you wear them down again a cutscene should trigger. There should be a display on screen saying how many medi-gels the clone has. It's a fun fight, having all your own dirty tricks thrown back at you! This is what the rest of the galaxy experiences when Shepard comes to town!

I always liked the last bit of ME3 in London where you're saying your goodbyes to your group. EDI really seemed to be inserted into a lot of the parts of the game. She was mostly fun as a character, I think, but dang.

I sometimes wonder if she got the robot body because Tricia Helfer is great and they wanted her more involved in the game than the ship based stuff. Well at least I'd like to think it's that and not the more likely "sexy robot body" reason.

Well, Marauder Shields, at least you tried.  edit: Haha, Dang, I forgot how badly they really wanted you to choose synthesis. The starkid literally tells you it's the happy ending. Destroy all the way. Shame about Anderson, but at least he got a chance to tell you one last time how proud of you he was. Drifter fucked around with this message at 02:14 on Dec 23, 2016 |

I give ME3 some flak sometimes but still, it's kinda sad saying goodbye to dudes you've played three games with (+ EDI) When Liara and the team is crowded around the name memorial in the Normandy right before putting your name on that board it's kind of a downer. And then Anderson's and EDI's name just chillin' there as well  Ah well. We'll see what ME4 brings. I hope to god they learned from DAINQ about what not to do regarding collectathoning poo poo.

IN Synthesis the robot tells you that the Reaper "civilizations" within each reaper will be shared amongst the rest of the poeple in the Universe and I'm just thinking like, if there's anything left that's recognizably cognizant within those reapers then they must be living some I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream life in there, what with the literally evil poo poo the reapers have been doing for millions of years. I don't think the rest of the Galaxy would appreciate a bunch of old civilizations/alien races screaming their digital voices raw from accumulated horror.

What if every cycle inside the reapers is basically living in the Matrix but without the red-pill option, and from their perspective civilization has continued without the reapers? What is Andromeda is just that...but for this cycle?

^^^ That is a terrible design practice and I despise Bioware games for using it. I never romanced anyone in this playthrough (I try to avoid most Bioware romances), but it might have been appropriate for Liara, in London at the very end, to take on your DNA randomizer and get pregnant or whatever (after asking you) instead of just showing you some weird memory. I'd have allowed that if you guys were good friends and poo poo. We all knew Shepard wasn't coming back from that final assault into the Citadel. ...this probably outs me as some closet furry or something, but I swear I'm not.
