I had no idea she was based on a real person. I kept her on the nomandy just because I don't like turning anyone away. I played Femshep and she did have quite a bit to say, usually after main plot beats like anyone else. She'd do her little show and ask for exclusive interviews and stuff. I liked her spin on the big events, and that she had a big following with male turians. She did dress basically like a pornstar though which was offputting.

Took the thread's advice and started a Mass Effect 1 playthrough as a black guy. The crappy character creator is actually quite good at making convincing black dudes, even if any other ethnicity looks like a Monster Factory reject.

Mass Effect: the next one will probably be a pretty good game. It'll have a bunch of weird BioWare BS but even these shall feel familiar and comfortable, in a way. Probably one or two aspects of it will improve significantly from ME3 and DAI, while similarly another one or two aspects will be frustrating and ill-conceived.

Even folks who hate it will play it at least 60 hours.

Peebee (ugh I hate even typing that) looks terrible, as is the name. Fortunately you can just leave her on the ship so whatever.

I personally will be ok with an adequate story as long as I can have a krogan bro and some more sweet sweet vanguard action.

I've always seen people complain about ME3's ending, but this is the second time I try to go through the game and I just give up, so I can't even get to it. Holy gently caress what an infuriatingly bad game.

My personal opinion is that mass effect went wrong when they gave too big of a spotlight to cerberus starting on ME2, which should stay nothing more than a small enemy you meet every now and then. You give me a loving space exploration game and you want me to focus on loving humans? This is just blown up to 11 in ME3 where the game is so loving bogged down with cerberus mission after cerberus mission. I was just introduced to kai leng and holy poo poo, the lengths they go to ensure you this guy is a badass are just sad. I dropped it again. gently caress this game.

I can only hope they won't repeat the same mistake with this new game, since they can start fresh. The return to the ME1 origins and the frontier feeling all sound very promising to me. I'm pretty sure bioware will find new and amazing ways to discourage me, though.

I just got the itch and am playing through the first one again as well and I agree...I can actually model a surprisingly good facsimile of my face along with proper complexion. I think this series and TES (especially oblivion) are the only two series where I could really drill down and do so. Probably one of the reasons why I have an affinity for both.

..Just got done with becoming a Spectre and opening that Galaxy Map again for the first time...:swoon:...Feels good. I missed it. I should be all the way through three again by the time Andromeda comes out.

Literally wasted billions since it was established in ME3 that Shepard is just a VI controlling a necrotic corpse held together with fancy glowing things. Even Star Child points it out.

Would have been hilarious if the red ending was Shepard's red glowing bits powering down followed by all his/her pieces falling apart like a paper mache doll disintegrating in bathwater.

Just finished ME3 for the first time since release. The combat was good enough to make up for the dumb plot points. It got especially hilarious with the N7 Lancer + mag capacity and James' inferno ammo with explosions. Warp explode brutes 24/7. If andromeda can keep it that fun, I'll play it for that.

Whoever had the idea for kai leng though, what the gently caress. He's as embarrassing as benezia's voice acting in ME1.

He created the character in the comics and novels. Bioware some how made it even worse in their implementation.

Let's just say there's more than enough blame to go around for Kai Leng.

I don't give a gently caress about whatever gay dumb novels Kai Leng was in. They might as well be internal design docs for all I care, I'm not reading that dross.

All that matters is that some fucksticks thought it was cool to put him in ME3 the video game how they did, and had him interact with the PC how he did. And that's got nothing to do with Drew.

One of the silliest bits in CItadel is the look Traynor gives when she pulls out her toothbrush to unlock the Normandy. It's great. Right up there with Joker doing the the robot at EDI in ME2.

It helps that Traynor is definitely the most likeable new character in ME3, and is probably one of the most likeable ones in the series. If she wasn't it would just be dumb, not fun dumb.
