Anyway, I'm hoping Vetra can be romanced by Fryder

Your first and only post and you introduce Fryder into the mass effect goon lexicon, thus insuring your immortality.

SMGs with effectively infinite ammo were nice, and ME3 let us use any gun we wanted without firing bullets at a 90 degree angle out of our barrel. But it's just not the same :saddowns:

get the coalesced editor for ME3
open the coalsced.bin file found in me3\BIOgame\CookedPCConsole in the editor you just downloaded
navigate to bioinput.ini > sfxgame > sfxgamemodedefault > bindings
add the following line: ( Name="PC_Reload", Command="SwapWeaponIfEmpty | TryReload | initammo 999 | initgrenades 10")
now every time you hit the reload button your ammo is set to the maximum including grenades

Agreed and disagreed. I think Peebee's is an improvement in that it looks like her and not just a generic Asari. Obviously I can't tell if it does the same for Cora, but I don't think either is an improvement aesthetically over the old.

Mac Walters has already said that there are more romances than just your crew, and his favorite is on a planet. I imagine you can find an eyebrowless Asari working the tables in the Vortex Lounge who would love to biotic reach around.

The planetary romances will be like the asari consort quest. You get a reward for a job well done and then throw a tantrum until the asari rolls her eyes and bangs you so you stop whining.
To bioware that's deep storytelling.

Things a Mass Effect game needs to be good:

- Racism
- People overcoming their differences to work together
- Viceral third person combat
- A wierd, slimy, western imperialist badguy who works for a creepy corporation

Therefore, Resident Evil 5 is the best Mass Effect game ever made.

Similar to the one in this. Keep up.

Just mentioning it since it seems they're going away from the hollow outlines (which makes me think they're going to update Liam's in a similar way), and this is still the closest we've come to seeing what Cora looks like, goddamn.

I hope that's not what she looks like in-game, the hair over one eye look looked ridiculous on Ashley and it looks even worse in Cora's icon

There's two more companions left to see, and the plot of the game is that we just showed up and need to meet the locals, so chill out. I wouldn't be surprised if the Andromedan companions that can join you are spoiler territory.

When you saw how Bioware treated the Prothean in your party are you really looking for them to be ground breakers and revolutionary in their alien creations?

But also, It ~KINDA~ makes sense in that your groups of species' all left on the same boat together. I mean, come on. Maybe the other two one (since you're probably gonna have a Geth or Rockalien in the party) alien team member might be an actual weird thing like a Hanar or something.

Star Wars, for all it's fan goodwill, doesn't really have many more interesting starring aliens than what ME has.

I thought Javik was a well-written character in ME3. He totally flips your view of the Protheans from being generically benevolent good guy aliens into actually being a warlike civilization who subjugated all the species in the galactic pond until they finally ran into a much bigger fish in the form of Reapers. Their purpose was not to uplift, but to subdue and to rule, which I thought was a good foil to all of our prior assumptions. It was also cool that the last living Prothean as far as anybody knows goes almost unnoticed in a galaxy full of chaos, and he has nothing to offer that can actually help you except to fight.
