I wonder if they'll put in Saren's pre-huskin' model or not Also tbh I kind of don't want them to fix ME1's character creator because my first run through I made some sort of ghostly pale mutant who squinted everywhere and any time the character was actually supposed to narrow his eyes they spasmed out instead lmao RBA Starblade fucked around with this message at 19:57 on Feb 3, 2021 |

RBA Starblade posted:I wonder if they'll put in Saren's pre-huskin' model or not Presumably Saren started the indoctrination process before the events of ME1, and after the book Revelation. I think there's a good few years inbetween the book and first game where Saren has been riding shotgun in his reaper-boat getting slowly indoctrinated. So, from that point of view, his looks make a kind of sense.

You're thinking of the Nomad that can't climb a five percent incline. The Mako will climb anything short of a sheer vertical cliff, and even then I'm pretty sure you could get the engine to do it if you goosed it just the right way.

Cythereal posted:You're thinking of the Nomad that can't climb a five percent incline. Yea, this. The Mako would scale almost vertical cliffs a good distance if it had a bit of a head start. I also loved the uncharted worlds sky boxes because, unlike Andromeda, it really felt like no one else had stepped foot on these planets. There was one that was a super dark brownish color and the nearby planet was so huge in the sky it seemed like you could almost touch it. I loved that aspect of ME1.

The Mako was actually cool as gently caress, bombing over huge mountains nearly effortlessly was fun. The Nomad was a pale imitation and why the gently caress doesn't the Nomad have guns?

it makes sense, because you would definitely need a gun on your vehicle when exploring a mostly already explored galaxy; but in a brand new galaxy where you have no idea what each system might contain you would want zero guns.... wait...

The Mako was cool and good and imagining your squaddies belted in, hanging on and praying to whatever gods they believe in while Shep cackles manically bouncing around like a ping pong ball still brings a smile to my face.

what if the Nomad was lovely because it was a cheaper alternative to the Mako? Like the team actually asked for Makos, but the Illusive Man was like "...those things ain't cheap! Give them the lovely jeeps that cant go up hills, I have a 25% off coupon for an order of 100 or more"

I hated the Tempest. I hated that it was just a smaller Normandy, and it's emblematic of a design philosophy that sacrificed anything new or different for entirely recognizable retreads with diminishing returns. Mass Effect should be a big enough universe that you can change the shape of the hero ship, for god's sake.

The Mako had some odd physics, it behaved like a rubber ball if you hit any protrusion on the ground, which was inevitable in a lot of places (and certainly when going down a mountain  ). But the main problem was the map design because the Mako maps usually had gentle enough slopes leading to points of interest that were easy to drive, except they were often hidden on the opposite side of the mountain you wanted to climb when you came from any other PoI or the map's starting location. Or the intended paths simply didn't stand out enough, because while the skyboxes were great, the ground textures were usually bland and featureless. On the story maps you got easy to follow roads or marked paths so that was much better.And on consoles the Mako controlled like the Warthog in Halo, ie. vehicle movement was relative to where your camera and turret were pointing, so that could be annoying to some people (eg. if the Mako got turned around 180° while going down a mountain, so would the camera and now you were trying to go uphill again until you turned the camera around). On PC, moving the vehicle and the camera/turret are independent, I don't even know if you can set up the console controls. The XP penalty on Mako kills was dumb. It's easy enough to edit out on PC (I fear the remaster will lose most of the customizability ME1 and even 2 had from using Unreal INIs - even ME3 could be altered that way, but more things were locked down or simply cut like the holstering animations, because of console memory limitations) - but this shouldn't have been a problem in the first place and hopping out to deliver killing blows every few meters on some maps was annoying. I wonder if they're fixing that. But in general, OG Mako good! E: They better not get rid of upgradevehicle 6 vehthrusterforcebooster

Sombrerotron posted:This is true, as featureless as those heightmap planets themselves might've been, they more often than not had fantastic skyboxes. There's a few where you look up and there's just this gigantic sun filling your view, which is great. And then there's Klendagon (which maybe you were talking about), with its gigantic scar. Do you think they will fix Mass Effect 2's galaxy map so Klendagon has its giant scar again?

Its almost as much a part of ME1 Garrus as how you can repeatedly tell him to gently caress off and then praise him after you finish his quest because the dialogue triggers were busted and kept recycling.
