Hepler got severe harassment and I regret that I did some myself back during the DA2 lets play. She said some dumb poo poo but she didn't deserve the horrendous sexist harassment for it.

David Gaider shouldn't have engaged on the forums at all, but we wouldn't have gotten his "Militant Islamic Borg" description of the Qunari otherwise.

I think it was on Reddit but wasn't there some mentally deranged guy who was convinced that Cassandra in Dragon Age Inquisition was transgender who had chopped up genitals because she had short hair?

The typical gamer gets very confused when devs dare dare to include women who don't look like unnaturally smooth skinned dead eyed sex dolls. Although even the less conventionally attractive women still fall neatly on some kind of Hollywood pretty spectrum.

Oh good, May isn’t too soon or too far away. I will be done with my Andromeda replay by then with some time for a break as well

Andromeda is going well, I really like this game? Pretty much finished all the quests available for Voeld including rescuing the Moshae, and I’m about to go back to the Angaran city to fully explore that.

Started the Jaal romance with my mRyder :3:

Steam is showing the legendary edition as $60 but also offering a bundle with ME3, so I'm not sure what's happening. Are they really releasing each remastered game independently for $60 each?

No, that bundle pops up because if you buy ME3 before the 9th you get a discount on ME Remaster. They're doing it because ME3 came to Steam less than a year ago.

Just started playing ME3 for the first time (thanks as always to Annakie for the ME saves site).
Yes ME3 does hook into Origin, be sure and turn off Origin in game in its settings, it was causing me stuttering.

2 mods loaded within the first hour, one to make the hud larger.
It was teeny on a larger screen.
And another to enable holstering, buggy but so worth it.
I hope the 2-4mb of memory that was saved really helped the consoles by making PC controls lovely by disabling holstering your weapon.


Any other must have mods for ME3?


Dunno about the product key thing.

Hell yes I am extremely hype for this. I love the series, but haven't played any of the OT since original release, so I'll be coming to it with relatively fresh eyes.

Honestly kind of fighting the urge to do a third Andromeda playthrough in anticipation...

Yep, if you buy the bundle with ME3 in your library the cost of the remaster is 44.81 instead of 59.99.

ME1: pick between sexy blue alien or space racist. Easy choice

ME2: buffet of choice, sexy human supremacist, hot topic goth girl with ~issues~, nerdy teen alien girl, also the ships therapist will do lap dances for you if certain requirements are met

ME3: gently caress it, all of them. Oh and this gay guy who just lost his husband. Also this IGN chick we face scanned into the game. Still can't gently caress the sexy robot with a cameltoe, Seth Greene called dibs already.

They really didn't need to add big lensflares to every screenshot, but let's not pretend that ME1 at least wasn't already chock-full of them anyway.

I do agree that it's strange (to be charitable) that they apparently made the start on Eden Prime look just like any other pretty day in the colony, though.

The ME1 lens flares were always those weird rectangular camera artifact ones.

Like the very screenshot you posted shows (is that another official one by the way, or the product of some skillful modding?), ME1 had both types, but mostly actually the type shown in the (other?) new screenshots (albeit not as overly bright).







That being said:

What I do care about is the Mako's controls, though. Whoever said that it's better than the Nomad doesn't have any idea what they're talking about. It's easy enough to give the Nomad a few upgrades that make it very speedy and it always sticks to the ground; the Mako is always slow and it'll bounce all over the place if you don't very carefully nurse it uphill - or even across/around small bumps in the terrain. Comparisons aside, the Mako's handling (or lack thereof) was a major complaint for many people back in the day, so if the LE improves on that I'm all for it.
