My number one hope for Mass Effect 4 is getting to gently caress all the alien species this time

All of them.

ME2 is far from perfect

I felt like the collectors came outta nowhere and I would have preferred more reaper stuff to set everything up for ME3. The terminator baby was shiiiiiiit

Collecting the team and the suicide mission was cool and good though, but at the end of ME2 it felt like you had just been on a side adventure because the great big looming doomsday fuckery of the reapers you learned of in ME1 is still there at the end of ME2 with not much having changed

A huge missed opportunity was not getting to have a conversation battle with Harbinger. They tease him in ME2 as he takes control of the bugfolk, but then he's basically just silent in ME3 and dies offscreen or something I dunno

Despite all its flaws the Mass Effect series is one of my favourite gaming series out there and ME4 is a guaranteed purchase for me

They'd have to just colossally gently caress this up to make me lose interest

I believe it's been said by official sources that they are involved in the game in some capacity. :smith:

I feel like Cerberus fits a lot better in this new narrative than in the grand plot of the reaper story. We're going to a new galaxy and meeting new civilizations, of course there's gonna be a "HUMANITY FIRST" element there and Cerberus fits perfectly

Something about their faces reminds me of Thane...with bone cancer.

So do they use armor in their outfits when in combat or are they like...boney human sized krogan and so tough they can withstand futuristic small arms fire?

They made a human with bonehats

Making sure players have empathy for the aliens is code for making sure the players want to put their penises into the aliens making sure it's generic enough that the design will work for a broader audience

I'm really kind of upset that Mass Effect doesn't include a playable character in a wheelchair. It would add tactical options in combat, like if you wanted to move, you couldn't shoot because you'd be pushing the wheels.

they'd have A.I wheelchairs in teh future

Nobody knows, all the Andromeda colonists left before the Reapers showed up & they have no way of communicating with the Milky Way or going back there.

Wait, I thought the Normandy had a quantum entanglement communicator or some-such? Doesn't that mean that instantaneous communication over any distance technology exists already? Why wouldn't somebody alert the colony fleet that their home civilization is being destroyed and recall them? Surely the giant hub ship has got to have tons of weapons, they wouldn't send it into an alien galaxy without as much firepower as possible in case they found a hostile species.

why would the reapers let a fleet of ships leave the galaxy

they're real sloppy galaxy cleansers imo

:10bux: The Reapers are never mentioned in ME:A because they don't want to touch that poo poo with a 10ft pole ever again.

I actually really liked the idea of the reapers

I thought they were super ominous in ME1 and I loved that brief convo you had with Sovereign. Then they made it personal in ME2 when Harbinger seemed to take a personal interest in Shepard

They just never did anything interesting with them in the end and decided to go with starchild instead

Yeah I had no recollection of Cerberus from ME1 by the time I played ME2. Were they even a big thing in ME1? Even now all I remember of them there are a few generic quests to stop some random experiments or wahtever

Nah man, you've got stockholm syndrome or whatever. DA2 was SO loving POORLY DONE that anything in that game that's not literally poo poo dribbling down your leg will seem fun or even enjoyable by comparison.

And looking back, you only THINK you remember liking it.

The flak for DA2 is so over the top. It was a bad dragon age game but I didn't feel robbed of my monies after playing it. It had a lot of fun dialogue. Maybe I couldn't get on the hate bandwagon because I personally thought DA1 was a super flawed game as well

disclaimer: I did play as sarcastic femhawke and it was good. It was the closest I got to playing a completely disinterested rear end in a top hat in a Hero rpg who just makes fun of the grimdark villain all the time. I mean just listen to how god drat smug she is constantly:

It was originally going to be a Co-Op multiplayer game, if you can believe it! I think it's fair to say that it had a somewhat fraught development. Not to the level of DA 2, but Bioware seems to have trouble deciding what exactly they want to be doing with the DA licence from game to game.

Which is dumb, because it should have been "Mass effect, but fantasy" throughout. Instead they had to go and try and reinvent it with every sequel

DA:I was okay, but a lot felt like filler and the end was boring

Yeah I was kind of hoping a Qunari teammember with the name "iron bull" would be cooler, perhaps something like Wrex in Mass Effect. But I can't even remember anything about him, he was so generic and dull

I liked the mute qunari mage you get to escort in DA2 better :frogbon:
