She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."

She would have been a solitary researcher in Prothean ruins at this time going by what she says in ME1.

And I wrote my thesis on 17th century French theatre but world governments aren't calling me up and asking me what I thought about Tartuffe.

Isn't Liara still some nobody grad student at the time this Pathfinder mission would be chartered?

It's best not to think too hard about those type of plot holes.

I'm just hoping we get to deal with a Krogan/Asari that was awake for the whole 600 year trip.


Captain Oblivious posted:

Yeah pretty much. Her narrating an audio history is kinda weird.

Liara is a nobody grad student when the Initiative is conceived. By the time it launches (between ME2 and ME3) she's considerably more important

Yes but not for her historical research, for becoming a crime boss. It remains weird.

It's good to know Liara could take a break from gathering all the information available to her as the leader of a shadowy information network to prevent the extinction of all sentient life in the galaxy, to narrate some codex entries about popular Asari formal ware.

I love the "wait a minute but mankind just got onboard with galactic civilization" posts

Mass Effect had a ridiculous problem of scale: although 99% of the galaxy was uncharted, somehow it has been wholly claimed by the Citadel and almost half of it was Alliance space by ME3. Also humans haven't been in space for like 50 years?

Andromeda could be an opportunity to not fall into those holes again but what are the odds :v:

If they have Cryosleep chambers, do they also have cloning? Why even bother with breeding these species if you can just pop up the generations right now?

I am cautiously optimistic about this game. The dialogue and some of the characterization irritates me, but if the story as a whole is good I could enjoy it. I'm hoping the new setting and removal of the overarching Reaper plot facilitated this.

They have cloning, yes. Saren was cloning krogan in ME1 and two of your squadmates in 2 are clones.

Miranda (kind of pushing the definition of "clone" a bit) and who else?

That's actually closer to real cloning than just popping out a duplicate of another person. :eng101:

Though we also got the scifi variety of clone in Evil Shepard so all bases are covered.

Can you have sex with the same alien multiple times in different positions until the cutscenes get boring and the alien starts saying their ocellus aches and you go jerk off in the space toilet thinking about one of the sexy octapods at the trading outpost you saw the toher day?

Mass Effect would've been a lot better if Asari were white people by virtue of discovering the citadel first. Humanity should be mexicans.

Clearly they had their own advanced civilization in a previous cycle and sent over their own arks to Andromeda.

Or, in keeping with the clear and plausible possibility of Cerberus funding/involvement: They put thresher eggs onto the other Arks to gently caress them over so that humanity would have a huge leg up on colonial expansion.
