Dr. Stab posted:The ships in mass effect already do faster than light travel. Mass Relays just make them go super fast. As I recall it's a sort of fuel/navigation hazard situation. Ship based FTL's are for travel within star clusters but mass relays are to travel from cluster to cluster. Between stars is relatively empty and safe but since a mass relay could very well connect to another one hundreds or thousands of light years away and there's no way to travel that far a distance without needing a large amount of fuel and/or not smash into a star. I think ships need to discharge their space static electricity every so often too? Bartender Asari mentioned at one point that everyone should be developing their own mass relays so I want to say that the theory is known but building them, especially on the scale of the reaper-built relays, is just too much effort.

Something, probably the codex, also mentions that because of the whole Reaper tech thing Cerberus soldiers are super soldiers or something so they can totally overwhelm a force many times their size.

Any time someone talks about how they just can't get people to relate to weird alien faces/bodies I think about Thomas Was Alone and how by the end of that game I was completely invested in the fate of a bunch of rectangles. Team Jump

Nevets posted: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. I want to say that those communicators came about via the one on the Normandy that Cerberus built so if these ships are leaving before Shepard flipped off TIM then they wouldn't have them.

Spikeguy posted:I have started my annual Christmas Trilogy run and I wanted to tell you guys know about a mod I got for ME3 that adds a lot of cool features. It's called Expanded Galaxy Mod. Since the last thread was up for nearly 5 years, I won't pretend like it wasn't mentioned but I just thought I'd share it in case no one has heard of it. It's also very easy to install. This sounds like a really good mod but it also sounds ridiculously ambitious for a game that wasn't really meant to be modded. I mean there's barely any nude and sex mods for ME3 and that's kind of the barometer for how easy something is to mod. Does it actually do half the things the descriptions says?

I kind of wish Wreav showed up in some capacity in 2 and 3 if Wrex lived, but I guess the only thing he could really do then is show how great Wrex is.

His job, as you guessed, in both is to basically show how great Wrex is in comparison. I don't remember Wrex headbutting anybody except that rear end in a top hat who wants Grunt.

Googling it feels like an archaeological dig through dead links to bioware redemption pages. I think the answer at this point is contact EA support.

Lumpy the Cook posted:I don't really care about whatever new game Bioware puts out at this point but this seems like the only suitable thread to ask... is there a reason the Origin logo for ME3 is this weird, cryptic picture of the entire Middle East on fire? As I recall there were a bunch of wallpapers of Shepard standing in front of various parts of Earth, all of which are on fire, and that is an unfortunately specific zoomed in portion of one of them. Or someone on Origin was trying to be funny.

exquisite tea posted:In Bioware's defense, the quote that originated from is often taken way out of context. The artist was describing the challenge of how you depict masculine/feminine features for alien species in a way that makes sense to the player. The "what are we gonna do, put breasts on it" line in this context was acknowledging how absurd that would be. I always thought this was overthinking it myself. If Thomas Was Alone can manage to make coloured rectangles believably gendered characters by having a narrator use words like "she" or "him" then you can probably do that for animated characters with a voiced personality. I guess it helped that Thomas used traditionally English-sounding names as well but, again, coloured rectangles. If the characters in the game acknowledge someone that looks distinctly non-human as a "she" or a "he" enough times (or whatever other genders may exist in a galaxy) then most people are just going to accept that no matter what.

Phrosphor posted:Did they boost the yields you get from scanning planets in ME2? I have memories of spending ages grinding it when I first played the game, but I just started replaying it and after doing a couple of systems I have over 7k of each element apart from eezo. I don't know about the amount you get but I do know they increased the size of the scanning reticule a while after launch. That makes it much faster to clear enough planets in the early game to carry you to the end. If you don't just cheat yourself the minerals that is.

I enjoyed riding around Roach in Witcher 3 so if MEA can be even just something like that I'm okay with it. Combined hopefully with better things to find than a pile of rocks (like ME1) or a chest with a weapon worse than the one you literally start the game with (Witcher 3) then that's fine with me as a basic overworld traveling thing.

Phrosphor posted:There is a DLC interactive comic for both games that lets you answer questions to set everything up. I think in ME2 if you don't have the DLC there are some questions you can answer when Miranda and Jacob are sanity checking Shep on the way to meet the Illusive Man for the first time that can change a few small things. Isn't that conversation in ME2 really only for the question of who became counsellor because the save ME1 creates to import into ME2 happens before that dialogue.
