Yeah. Regardless of what happens at the very end, the way most of the main threads wrap up before that is excellent.

Hm. Guess I should do that soon, before I get too far into World of Final Fantasy :v:

'It's easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism.'

quote:

⁃ Around 2185, at the height of galactic progress, unaware of the impending Reaper invasion, several species band together for the "Andromeda Initiative".
⁃ 4 Arks, each carrying a different race, are built, housing thousands of individuals to chart a course to Andromeda. The Heleus Cluster is noted as having a significant amount of "Golden Worlds", or planets ripe for life. Each ark is led by a "Pathfinder".

both of these decisions seem really weird.

Seems like your guy actually has a set first name this time around. Though I guess that might just be your sibling.

Scott and Sara are just the defaults, per Mac Walters. You can still pick any name you want.

Yeah it means you get to reexplore how much everyone loves making GBS threads on Krogans... again! Retreading a story that we dealt with in 3 games over 5 years is gonna be fun. also they're still infertile

Is Peebee gonna be Space Sera with the lolbees so random xD toned down?

E: VVVVV I'm ok with this

Did you try putting the disc in? I popped the first disc of ME2 in and my bone is downloading a 13 gig "update" after choosing to "install disc." Haven't tried 3 yet.

Yeah me too. I'll shamefully (not shamefully) read most any drat old sci fi with an interesting setting :shobon:

So I forget how ME3 single player goes, is Adept or Vanguard more of the funhaver class and also how do Paragon/Renegade work in that one WRT the endgame? I remember in ME1 and 2 you had to hardcore blue/red to get all the scenes and such

Also is there a good 'backstory' generator for saves somewhere

Most likely. It was pretty clear DAI was meant to be played with a gamepad on PC and it sounds like they're pulling a lot from that.

I'm guess ship 4 is Turians, or something off the wall like Hanar, and then there are Krogan hangers on because having an ark ship of Krogan would make zero loving sense.

It also gives them an easy way not to have to model Geth, Quarians, Hanar, Elcor, Volus etc.
