It always cracks me up seeing Saren riding around on his goofy little hoverboard in battle, it totally wrecks his badass persona.

It would have been 100x better if they could have worked in a BttF joke there somewhere. Recording our final wrap-up sidequests tonight so update in the next day or two. With some judicious editing should be able to take care of the final mission in 2 updates.

Since Mass Effect 2 is near, you'll soon be very familiar with a particular phrase, it's almost as infamous as the combat dialogue from ME1 and it-ASSUMING CONTROL! (That was the phrase by the way, you'll hear it a lot, more so on higher difficulties)

Because nothing makes you respect and fear an opponent more than one who is constantly recycling the same taunts over and over.

I"m really excited for the next updates. I've seen the game being played before, but somehow I've never seen Ilos so I'm really interested to see how different it might look. Hopefully it looks different, anyway.

Sovereign has fingers and the whole final battle could have been avoided if it just flew overhead, reached down and went squish on Shepard.

Just finished playing through the ME trilogy, because I'm old and always one console generation behind. It really feels like the game wants to shoehorn you into a relationship with somebody no matter what you do, which is a bummer because I wanted to play a space age RPG, not a dating sim. But apparently my Shepard can't just be a consummate professional who's too busy saving the galaxy for love. "Gee, blue lady...I'm sure glad you didn't get your face shot off in the last battle because you're a valuable asset to the team." "I'm glad you said that, because I'm in love with you too." "Wait, what???" "So are you thinking summer wedding? It will be easier to book a venue in the fall..." "No..no...I don't like you like that. I just respect your knowledge and professional acumen." "Oh so I guess you're HER boyfriend then?" Other girl: "All right...let's get a baby in here!" "No, no, no! I don't want either of you! I just want to save the galaxy!" +5 Renegade "gently caress!" Seriously though...in the first game I turned down the blue lady, which made me soldier lady's beau by default I guess...but when she offered some P in V action I said no. Then in the second game I imported my ME1 file and she makes reference to our "special night" so I guess you just canonically bump uglies no matter the player's input. Finally, I gave up and just became involved with the alien girl in the hazmat suit, hoping that she just had a writhing mass of tentacles and suckers underneath her helmet, but alas. They should make some DLC where you meet the perfect person, get married and then on you're honeymoon it just turns out to be a thresher maw wearing a person suit.

It's totally possible to do non-romance runs, I've done them on both FemShep and ManShep. Part of the problem is that unlike DA2 & DAI there isn't a clear romance/flirt option so probably what happened with Ash is you progressed her too far into romance (probably by nothing more than being nice) and then when you shot Liara down the game's math said "romance=Ash." If you got the scene where someone comes to your cabin you're considered in a relationship even if you tell them you have a headache at that moment. It's not a great system and why I was a dick to Kaiden a few times; if I wasn't then I'd end up in a conference room having uncomfortable conversations with K&L over "choosing one of us."

Good work because the Tali "romance" is far and away the creepiest one in the game. Like, nothing else comes remotely close.

The Dominion War would've been over in one episode of Deep Space 9 after the Founders had Jem'Hadar cruisers kamikaze every major Federation world at Warp 9. The Man-Kzinti war books had a good one where the humans accelerated a comet to around 20% of light speed, aimed it at a conquered system and used it to utterly wreck a planet. Also the Wunderland Treatymaker quote:The Wunderland Treatymaker was used only once. It was a gigantic version of what is commonly a mining tool: a disintegrator that fires a beam to suppress the charge on the electron. Where a disintegrator beam falls, solid matter is rendered suddenly and violently positive. It tears itself into a fog of monatomic particles. After the use of the Treaty Maker, the planet was renamed to Crater. Also the surviving Kzinti in the system surrendered. I love crazy sci-fi apocalypse weaponry.

No Zevran I'm not that okay with it  Semi-triangular pixel people loving with underpants on because nudity was too much. I'm kind of glad DAI went with full naked because a) the graphics are a ton better and nobody looks like a horror and b) yes, this game is rated M for mature and seeing tits or man-rear end makes a lot more sense than people going at it wearing knickers. If that's too much for you then do a no-romance run (or romance Solas so you don't see anything  ).Sir Potato posted:Ah, well, I suppose that's what I figured might happen.

Amusingly the modesty underpants covered more skin than Morrigan's default outfit which barely covered her chest.

Also (and Mass Effect suffers from this same problem) apparently there is only 1 store in the entire universe that makes/sells underwear because everyone wears the same stuff. Like not even a color variation. "These are boy underpants, these are girl underpants." e: and now I've actually spent irreplaceable minutes of my life discussing videogame underwear. Goddamnit.

For posterity's sake The Council/Udina gently caress us over (what a surprise) and we steal the Normandy in retaliation. Please remember this moment, I sure will, you rear end in a top hat Udina. Also we make Conrad pee himself and check in on some group called Cerberus that we'll probably never hear from again. Kahoku's stuff is especially stupid: "I totally found out about this black ops group and they're after me, so I'll flee the military because I'll surely be safer on my own outside of my ship/base/loving entire Navy  " There was another Cerb mission I did and forgot to record all of it, but it's another "go here and shoot some poo poo in 3 identical bases" where this time instead of Rachni you shoot husks so we're not missing anything at. Cerberus is also responsible for our unit getting thresher mawed on Akuze, They're sooper dooper evil guyz! Good thing we won't have to work with them later or anything.

On the off-chance that you haven't started recording Mass Effect 2 already, I suggest you do something like grow Shepard's hair out a little every game, so by 3 it looks pageboyish. It makes sense to do it from 1 to 2 at least, considering you're in a coma for so long.

Usually if I gently caress with Shep's appearance I shave her head - makes more sense if they've been operating on her brain  But I did already record the first part tonight so I can edit the unskippable poo poo at my leisure, sorry. Same hairstyle

If you want to play it renegade and go "gently caress yeah let's blow up some aliens" then jump right in but if you weren't at least ask the Alliance or the Council. I mean, both of them already have hosed you over multiple times, at least that way you could say you tried. "Ah yes,  Collectors "

Or at least have the Council/Alliance act with disbelief that you're alive again. "Who is this, and how the gently caress did you get Commander Shepard's ID tags?" would be an entirely reasonable reaction, at least, and could've been used to set up at least some early tension where you have to go off the grid because almost everyone you run into blows you off at best, and wants to arrest you for "impersonating" yourself at worst.
