Their first mistake was presuming I could ever empathize with a Bioware character.

Also, guys, GUYS! I had a thought.

What if some of the Reapers followed through Dark Space?!?! What if it's not just the Milky Way that's under their space-thumbtentacle?!?!

They also said the Kett were originally gonna be in the nude all the time but decided against that because it created a "really odd disconnect" when talking with them which is dumb unless they had enormous dongs that were really distracting or something.

Also I call bullshit on having to be human-like to be empathetic I had a really good connection with my pet rock.

It's not impossible or anything, but the less anthropomorphic aliens are, the more work it takes to get humans to empathize with them.

You know of all the enemies, I hope the Nemesis returns.

The Nemesis was possibly my favorite enemy from multiplayer, because they were just the friendliest fuckers in the world. They saved me more often than they ever hurt me. One time a person I was playing with was being instakilled by a Phantom, and then the Nemesis put them down letting me run in and save them.

The Nemesis is basically -1 enemy and I love them.

Humans have such an overwhelming capacity for empathy that people experience guilt or shame when they throw out old possessions because they think they deserve better treatment for the joy they brought them. Trust me, it is not a quality your average person has trouble mustering.

I mean there was an award winning movie made about a guy falling in love with a computer program on his cell phone.

This got a bit lost in the usual thread spergathan, but I have to say I really like what I'm seeing here. It definitely feels like combining the vast environments of ME1 with the combat of ME3. The boss battle where it seems you have to hit the weak points to bring down the Contra boss seem real cool.

Just saw that Suvi Anwar, the Tempest's science officer (and also devout religious believer and strongly suggested to be lesbian romance), might get a bad case of accent backlash from fans. Suvi is from Scotland, and her voice actress is a Glasgow native, so I won't be surprised if there's cries that her accent is totally fake and unrealistic.

No Man's Sky's next update is called Path Finder.

Suvi's actress also did Cait in Fallout 4, and I don't know if it's just her or if literally every Glaswegian is like that, but I loving hated hearing her talk.
