Torrannor posted:It was a flawed AI built by a Milky Way empire. It's not inconceivable that there's a directive like "safeguard against organics-AI wars in this galaxy",or "in our (Leviathan's) sphere of influence" (which means the Milky Way again). Never underestimate the ability of a game developer to make inexplicably terrible decisions. Like, I don't think they will put Reapers in as a major plot point but I won't be surprised if they do.

LITERALLY MY FETISH posted:Nods to other games don't really mean they're canonically in the same universe. Devs do that poo poo all the time. There was some posts somewhere way back when, from some developer or writer or something confirming lyrium is eezo and a quarian ship crashed on Thedas and hung around for a while. I believe the idea was they used the qunari as local intermediaries and muscle. Wish I still had it archived somewhere.

The only thing that worries me about a classless skill system is that every single ability has to be balanced perfectly. Otherwise you get a 'feast or famine' effect where certain skills are always required and other ones will never be chosen.

That and the thrill of adventure/science would appeal to people even on planets not being consumed by waves of racist old people raging at the world daring to change. I still like the "secret last ditch Reaper escape pod disguised as exploration mission" idea best, myself. Like this: marshmallow creep posted:I suspect the founders of the Initiative suspected or knew about Reapers but kept it from the public, lest they make everyone who doubted think the whole thing was crazy talk. So it might come up in a conversation or a codex entry. Geostomp fucked around with this message at 20:23 on Nov 9, 2016 |

I played ME3 again some last night and this morning, and I found myself getting bored again as soon as I got to the Citadel for the first time. At this point I should just accept I'm never actually going to finish the game and go watchvideos for all the DLC or something. I don't know what it is about that game that fails to attach to me, in theory it's everything I want, and I totally devoured ME and ME2.

ME1 has this very relaxed pace that lets you explore at your own leisure. It's weirdly a very quiet game -- if you're cruising in a planet on the Mako often all you'll hear is the wind and your engine. ME2 hauls off like a freight train immediately and keeps throwing you in these sharp, lean half-hour missions. It's kind of like an action TV show. ME3, I dunno, it's kind of weirdly-paced. there is a lot of theoretical urgency undercut by your ability to tool around the galaxy. like you can straight up leave the Tuchanka and Rannoch systems during their respective arcs and come back

Either you make the timer real and it pisses people off because they feel like they're under constant pressure, or you fake it and totally monkey-wrench your narrative tension. Fallout 1 is maybe the only game I can think of that managed to thread the needle with the gimmick.

Regardless, he is a gameplay designer, not someone involved in narrative. His opinions are divorced from his ability to code, so Jack is just trying to stir poo poo up.
