I hadn't touched this game since I beat it soon after it came out. Not out of hate or anything, just couldn't drum up an interest. Today I put the game in my 360! Someday soon, I'll actually go in and play it.  The gameplay of this game is top notch, and the multiplayer is surprisingly high quality. The single player has some fantastic moments - one moment in particular I consider the best in the franchise - but there's so much dragging it down. The kid is one of them. We hadn't connected with the kid, so it just comes off has a hamhanded grab for sympathy. Part of the problem is the placement, here at the beginning of the third game. Neither returning players nor newcomers can bond with him; so his death scene would be better served later in the narrative. Even better if he was a returning character somehow. And of course, he'd have to actually be likable.

Eifert Posting posted:My dirtiest videogame secret is that I really liked Jack as a character. That said, maybe we shouldn't get into a derail about her until she's at least mentioned in the game? If she is, anyway.

There's one scene with Mordin in this game that is my favorite moment in the series. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out with Wiks.

Lt. Danger posted:Fair point on ME being a general sci-fi homage - I suppose I see that as a series-wide thing, but ME1 definitely carves out its own particular niche on that one. But in terms of writing, I don't think there's enough there to mark it out as best in the series - a lot is interchangeable with any of Bioware's other RPGs. Virmire onwards is solid but there's not much great about Czerka Corp. dicking around with colonists on Feros again.

Covok posted:Yeah, that is another thing to remember. He didn't just help make the genophage. When the krogan began to cure themselves of it, he updated it to overcome this. The first time he did it, he could rationalize it as a necessity to end a war. What need was there for him to do it a second time to a krogan populous that was already in decline other than bigotry and fear?

Waltzing Along posted:I thought you said you hadn't read the other stuff. If you haven't, then how do you know it is terrible? If you are basing this statement on other peoples opinions, and your opinions already run contrary to pretty much everyone elses opinion, wouldn't that mean you would probably like the tie in fiction?

And IIRC, Mordin is actually one of the better options to send back to the ship. Edit: The reactor overloaded because you didn't upgrade the shielding. I don't think it had anything to do with loyalty.

Have you mentioned Jack's romance, and how having sex with her immediately ends the relationship?

Judge Tesla posted:Shepard's parents change depending on what background you choose in ME1, I think she's only alive if you pick the Spacer background, and is then a Captain, promoted to Vice Admiral in ME3. TheCosmicMuffet posted:It's interesting because in terms of meaningful female relationships in the game, the one with the Rachni queen is perhaps the most mature. You spare her as the last example of her species. She's captured and forced to breed soldiers for the Reapers, and then you rescue her, and she helps the alliance against the reapers. She's your mom in a lot of ways because she represents the perfect alien menace, but you go out of your way to make sure she survives. In the end she's on your side, and you're still killing her 'children' in the multiplayer and mixed in with other Reaper thralls. Meanwhile, the Asari refuse to help you until you sneak onto their home world while it's under attack to get their prothean beacon--symbolically the source of their power and 'head start' over the other races. Then they give in and commit to build the crucible.
