A couple of interviews said if you change Ryder's first name all that happens is that people stop referring to you by it. Keep Scott/Sarah and NPCs will occasionally use your first name.

Trast posted:Batarians and vorcha do get a bit of image rehab towards the end of ME3 and surprisingly through multiplayer. There is the encounter Shepard has with some batarian refugees where it turns you can come to a peaceful end to some bad blood and get batarian survivors on board with the alliance. Batarians in particular get painted as being a sort of North Korea in space. It's ruled by a lot of militant totalitarians who keep everyone down unless they have a value to the regime like the slavers or terror squads. When you start encountering "average Joe" batarian in game they are usually happy to get along with people. Batarians: so awful you have to browbeat them into helping the Citadel races fighting Reapers when their homeworld is eaten and they are squatting in the Citadel itself. Also straight up telling you the asteroid you are stopping from wiping out a colony was"just" being attacked for slaves. Also trying to use a bioweapon on the Citadel via diplomatic channels because that will certainly solve their problems. I guess NK really does fit but on the other hand most batarians you meet outside of their nation are assholes too.

Their entire race just got wiped out overnight and the council let the man (kind of ) responsible for killing 300,000 batarians by smashing a mass relay out of prison to go help other races fight the reapers. At that point I might be like "you know what, gently caress you guys" too

There was no real evidence unless you personally sent out a message to try to warn them and even then it was just "This is Shepard" or somesuch. Them getting a prank call from a Spectre is suspicious but it is also circumstantial. Also 300k wasn't nearly enough.

Yeah, it would have been kind of entertaining if Joker had at least mentioned it. "Hey, you know something I noticed about you, Commander? You never say your first name. Do you even have one? Were you grown in a tube? Did your parents name you Commander, and it just worked out?"

I mean the most of that probably got nuked when the official social network forums were shut down, but here's the Lore, Story, and General section of the unofficial forums. Probably can also find plenty of poorly written summaries on the wikia, too.

Ainsley McTree posted:Andromeda would be a great opportunity to make batarians great again. We're constantly reminded of how much batarians love to do slavery, therefore they are bad, but you could write it so that a bunch of abolitionist batarians break off from the hegemony because they hate slavery and want to make a new society in another galaxy. No, Batarians are ugly, thus must be purged.

Ryder, come on, we can't be putting aliens into kinds we can shoot and kinds we don't shoot categories. That's not really good for relations nor for the people worried we're gonna be the baddie kind of colonists.

Snuffman posted:- DA:I multiplayer suuuuucked. Like, on paper it seemed like a cool idea with random dungeons, but the pay-2-win went way to far and made the grind awful. Actually, that's my biggest worry, that they go too far with the chests this time. EA didn't see ME3MP's popularity coming so it was an afterthought. ME:A multiplayer is going to be milked for all it's worth.

For my vanguard, I always end up choosing dark channel. Reave is good too but dark channel is better, imo. It's pretty long lasting and "jumps" so you get a lot of mileage out of it.
