...Yeah, it says right on the infographic that the defaults handily beat every other one; they were just measuring custom names.

Never underestimate the power of laziness when it comes to picking names. Especially here since Shepard's first name is apparently unpronounceable to anyone in the Milky Way.

I would have named him "Jack" after Lost, but I wanted to be a girl, so I named her, "Jacquelin"

I had a rather fortuitous name for my femshep, Aisling. It means vision or dream in Irish.

I don't remember what I called the last one (something generic I think like Harry or Billy) but the one before that was called Dickwank.

I named my Shepard, Fiat, 'cause he's so money that no one could touch him. Well except for Kaiden. There was something about him I couldn't quite put my finger on. Then ME3 rolled around and I diiiiid.

Alan I get due to Alan Shepard, first American in space. What I don't get is how few people use Adrian for MaleShep. Or is that considered too ancient these days? My FemShep is Eowyn, because I'm a giant nerd.

I always felt that the Rocky movies ruined the name Adrian. I don't know about everyone else but whenever I see that name I just hear Rocky's slurry "YO ADRIAAAAAAN, WE DID IIIIIIT!"

So, who else here has never picked Udina for the council? Let me just suggest you owe it to yourself to do it at least once. I went in thinking "okay, this run he gets the Council job. Punishment detail, he has to deal with that turian rear end in a top hat nonstop."      Psion fucked around with this message at 05:55 on May 21, 2014 |

Waltzing Along posted:Mass Effect movie rumors are starting to spread again. Possible release of Nov 2016. All conjecture of course. When I first saw the Godzilla trailer, I saw it in another language and didn't pick up the dialogue at all, but Damned if I didn't sit up and start getting giddy when I first heard the reaper sound effect. A movie could be cool. Maybe. I have no faith in anybody in Hollywood being able to pull it off though.

I just took the route the devs seemed to want you to anyway - tell her to bugger off. It feels like she was forced in there by some executive decision, and everyone else just incorporated her in a pretty passive aggressive way.

Jessica Chobot has like 3rd or 4th billing in the credits -_- Anyway, there are a few good sci-fi directors in Hollywood that I think could do good things with this franchise Danny Boyle (though he swears he'll never direct sci-fi again) did a good job with Sunshine and had fun playing with some Mass Effect-y themes. At least until the third act. Always wondered whether that might have been forced by the studio. Duncan Jones would be a great pick. Drew Stanton did a solid job turning a completely irrelevent property (edgar rice borroughs books) into a bland-but-functional boys' adventure movie (John Carter). I wouldn't say he's a great choice, but he'd be better than most, and if nothing else understands sci-fi grandeur and atmosphere as something other than a function of raw polygons. Blomkamp could pull the hell off of a First Contact War movie, though I wouldn't want to see his ME1 adaptation. Problem is Hollywood isn't going to give any of those guys (if they were even interested) the project. Not with enough budget and latitude to make it work, anyway. None of the stereotypical Big Stupid Movie dudes (your Bays, your Emmerichs, your Peter Bergs) are probably gonna end up with it either, but Hollywood will dredge up a knockoff version of those guys who'll toe the company line.

And given that Bioware isn't (and has not been for some time) some kind of small start-up company, the idea of 'everyone else' treating it differently than whoever decided she should be in the game is probably wishful thinking.

I'm not trying to convince myself one way or the other, it's just she's worth practically nothing and you're offered the chance to shoot her down at numerous points throughout the game. It's really easy to get rid of her and it just made me think if that would have been the case if it were Wong on board.
