Skippy McPants posted:DA:I felt like the first Mass Effect in a lot of ways, in that it was cool but had a lot of rough edges that needed rounding off. Jacob was just under used. Sera was actively terrible, but at least you could have zero interaction with her.

Solas gave the mageguy the evil mcguffin at Flemeth's command so yes. I don't blame you for not remembering it's like in a post credits stinger or something ridiculous like that.

It could've even been an interesting character moment if you bring up the magnitude of that lie and that she kept lying even after she supposedly trusted Shepard. But I'm guessing they just forgot?

I'm pretty sure James was supposed to be an insert for people that are new to the series - except they quickly forgot to keep using him for that purpose.

ME2 and 3 companions at least (not sure about 1) only deal what 20-30% Shepard's weapon damage? Thats probably what you're seeing more than anything else.

fruit on the bottom posted:There were a lot of people who got upset that he wasn't considered a good choice I remember doing it the first time and going through the character descriptions on the page where you choose the person, it's literally something like: Tali: A technical expert.... Legion: A machine designed for infiltration, legion is an expert hacker Thane: an assassin... The other choices are similar: Squad leader was something like: Miranda: Genetically engineered and raised for leadership... Garrus: an expert in small unit tactics I remember thinking "could they have made this any more obvious? Who could gently caress this up?" Everyone apparently. Where you can lose people easily is on the "hold the line" part if you send a strong person with the crew and take 2 strong people with you to the boss.

Rookersh posted:The worrying thing about the Suicide Mission is that when people got asked to pick a squad lead, their mind did not immediately jump to Garrus. Homeboy was presented as Shepard protege from the very beginning, and has been with you from the start. To be fair: Miranda: got everyone in her research projects killed Garrus: got his squad on omega killed Zaeed: last survivor in every story he tells None are actually presented as particularly good options tbh. As I said though the descriptions scream "PICK ME" for the correct options, regardless of plot points.

Thor-Stryker posted:Not denying this, just surprised considering both DA:I and Andromeda were Frostbite titles and clearly demonstrated that Bioware is pretty bad with the engine, especially when it comes to animations and game mechanics. DAI was ok. What problems with animations made it through were really just notpicks or direct comparisons with the best animations ever in a video game (Witcher 3)

Furism posted:Even if they were capable of doing it, EA/Bioware doesn't have the balls to make a game where one of the option is to burn a village of civilians to the ground or infect them with smallpox or flood them with whiskey because their stomach enzymes can't deal with them effectively. Sure they'd put you in the shoes of the conquered (that's the first trilogy) but they'll never design something where you're the conqueror. And I feel that's too bad and a missed opportunity to educate people. You know how it's impossible to make a war film that won't be interpreted as pro war by someone? Same thing, but with colonialism is probably not something EA wants to do.

Arcsquad12 posted:It's hard to take Sith and Jedi seriously when they wear more spikes than Warhammer 40K and feature armor that makes you look like an inverted triangle. Oh, and Bioware's consistently horrendous looking headgear. Literally the only good piece of headgear they have ever made in any game is the basic helmet from Mass Effect 1. After it came up in the thread I watched a few of the story cutscenes from the previous expansion. I went ahead and downloaded the game and fired it up (free to play and I have level 60s). The first thing I did was spend an hour trying to figure out how to glamour something not hideous. I failed.
