chaosapiant posted:I think the Nomad is fun to drive and handles fine. It's easy to click a button on the controller for flat terrain or hills. And as you upgrade it, it gets better and better where, with a good bit of speed, I can climb vertical cliffs like a champ, or rocket off a high plateau and tab the thrusters at the bottom to feather the fall. It's especially fun on the Turian "homeworld". And the game has the tendency to reset you if you drop "too far" (mostly for too long), no matter how much you'd manage to slow the fall with your thruster upgrades. This is easily noticeable on the first desert planet once you unlock the northern part and try to jump down from the plateau where you start the big Kett outpost assault. The Nomad is bad.

I think ME:A is a failure on nearly every level, but a few years ago I had an idea about how to recontextualize the game: Maybe the game is better if you imagine you're never actually playing as Ryder. You're playing as SAM. You have a goal - to restart habitation in the Helius Cluster and to make the Andromeda Initiative work. Your problem: You're just an AI and can't go anywhere. You have to rely on a group of runaways and incompetents to do even simple tasks. The main vessel for your exploration, the tip of the spear, is an indecisive imbecile who requires your actual intervention just to make simple decisions. This human wants to gently caress everything that moves and has to be constantly and explicitly reminded not to burn or freeze themselves. Not only that, whatever that scourge stuff is, it's loving with your perceptions because your human just talked to a colonist whose head was spinning, and before that they had a conversation with an invisible crew member.

You know how good and cool the game is gonna be in the first scene when your intergalactic spaceship crashes into an enormous stationary object in space at maybe 10 miles per hour.

Mass Effect 2's Jack Was Originally Pansexual, But Non-Straight Romances Were Cut Because Of Fox Newsquote:“I was trying to chart out the arc of [Jack’s] romance, which for much of the development - it was actually very late that it became a male/female-only romance,” Brian Kindregan tells me. Kindregan was the lead writer for Jack, Samara, and the first critical path mission on Horizon in Mass Effect 2, and also did the first pass on Grunt and Tuchanka, “She was essentially pansexual for most of the development of that romance.

Jack was weird in particular because (IIRC) if Shepard flirts with her, she heavily implies she's had female partners but it was a phase and she's over it.

There's also been rumors for years that Tali and Thane were planned to be bi in ME2 - Tali even fantasizes about a three-way with Garrus and FemShep in ME3 Citadel. Wonder if anything like that will be added in the remaster.

I'd bet $5 that the remaster won't be more effort than what it takes to get all 3 games running on modern systems and to drop in 4k textures without bothering to upgrade any in-game models.

Wasnt there also cut dialogue for Miranda/Jacob romance for the same gender Shep? I at least remember there was something like that out there. Though I might be misremembering something from the first game, that I just transplanted from Ash to Miranda because I like Miranda more.

Manshep also had lines for a romance with Thane and Femshep for Tali. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhfzyGbnAYA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtVNqxjiH0Y The "official," "company" explanation for these always seems to be that both genders of Shepards always record all lines, even for the other Shepard, and it doesn't mean that these romances were necessarily ever going to be in the game. Honestly, I don't know how real of a justification that is, especially given this new info about Jack and particularly the part where media blowback had an explicit effect on production. It never made much sense to me, having a tiny bit of experience with the development pipeline, that you would make more work for yourself to record more material if you didn't at least suspect that you might need those assets at some point. And the idea that, for instance, Jennifer Hale needed to hear Mark Meer deliver lines for scenes -- much less romances -- that we were always ever only going to hear Hale performing in-game seemed like a...strange...allocation of time.

I've heard rumors Miranda was supposed to be romanceable by Femshep but no proof yet. But yeah, Miranda and Jack were the characters I absolutely wanted to romance and felt so cheated by not being able to.

On Elaaden would it be better for the environment to have everyone urinate in to a large bowl out in the sun so it would evaporate immediately and possibly become rain later? Or would getting it filtered through the sand and drinkable quicker be a better option? Hard questions for a hard world.

Like there's Male V voice lines for the Judy romance in CP2077, even though Judy is explicitly lesbian, and the animations don't work right if mod it to enable the romance with male V.

If the remaster does not fix FemShep's animation on big stupid jellyfish to match Jennifer Hale's delivery then this entire endeavor will be a complete failure.

It's been a long time, but did ME2 also have the new game+ like ME1? I seem to remember the only way I managed to get a character to level 60 in ME1 was at least 3 playthroughs also using the Pinnacle Station dlc to grind.
