I'm one of those people that really did not like the ending of ME3, but I cannot wait to play MEA.

It looks like a ton of goddamn fun. Do we have any information on what race/class combos will be available in multiplayer? I haven't found any yet.

I'm not sure about the story of MEA's single player, but the fact that I can biotic charge, drop a turret, and then smash everything with my hammer has me pretty stoked no matter what.

I'm a diehard vanguard player- my challenge run in ME3 was to fight exclusively with biotic charge and shotguns on hard unless dealing with an instant kill fucker or turrets.

In multiplayer, Krogan Vanguard and Krogan Warlord were my go tos. I'd love to make a sort of fusion of the two for single player.

I'm just hoping the lady Turian is one of the gay or bi ones. I almost always play as a female character when given the choice, and I like Turians.

I really hope she's bi, because if she's gay then they just flip the Garrus problem around.


The Garrus problem being that only one gender can bang the coolest alien that isn't a Krogan.

I never got the love for Garrus as a romance option. I adore Garrus as Shepard's best bro and second in command, but the romance ruins a really good chemistry of just being great friends.

Oh I don't disagree with you, I just wouldn't have minded the option as a Male Shep player.

I hated the options in ME1 and just went with Tali for ME2 because we were shotgun bros.

Ok so here's the deal. The Normandy is an unusable garbage ship. Every time they accelerate in space, the cockpit would become up and the engines would be down. Joker's fragile bones would be completely crushed due to the heavy G's of space travel.

Mass Effect is magic sci-fi. You might as well be mad that Humans are portrayed as willing to be part of a power-sharing unity government with other races, because that poo poo would never happen. We'd make the Krogan Wars look considerate, and reasonable.

Shh, don't bring up the actual facts in a made up game of nonsense when people are bitching about how made up some of the nonsense is

Soloing Platinum is actually not much harder than Gold as far as reflexes or whatever, what soloing Platinum requires is an intimate and tedious knowledge of wave spawns, a loving lot of patience, and a little bit of luck praying you don't get randomly sync killed in Wave 9 by a Banshee.

I loving hate Banshees so much and nothing makes me happier than the fact that they are not in the game.

As a Krogan Vanguard, they are the only thing I cannot deal with. I can take on Brute after Brute after Brute, one time literally, but a Banshee will just magnet grab me from half away across the map if I so much as look at her the wrong way, and my ability to fight her is super goddamn limited.


My go to for Platnimum is typically either Salarian Engineer or Volus Adept. As a volus my entire game plan is to just glue myself to some one else and never stop healing

If we ever meet aliens in real life I'm going to be really conflicted because XCOM taught me to murder all aliens, but Mass Effect taught me to bang all aliens instead. Halo taught me to murder aliens then crouch up and down on top of them though so that's probably a good balance.

Halo also taught you to team up with the aliens that have sexy voices


Clearly the message is to kill all ugly aliens


because if it's ugly it can't be a good guy right

I always buttered Ash up and then sent her to die because she's a racist she might as well die saving aliens.

Then I hooked up with Tali in ME2.


In ME3, actually, I didn't know Kaiden could be a romance option for ManShep, so I was being super buddy buddy with him and friendly and poo poo and then he started actually hitting on me and it got super awkward. I actually felt bad for having to let him down because I absolutely did not mean to try and romance him by accident.

In ME1

Kaiden is just kind of boring. You want the interesting biotic you talk to Liara, though at that stage she's an awful character as well. You want good backstory you talk to Wrex. You want the best characters you just stick with Shotgun Bro Tali, Garrus and Wrex.

Kaiden is just 'eh. He's there. He exists. He has a backstory I guess but who gives a poo poo, he's Kaiden.



Ash is straight up a vocal space racist and annoying. That's worse than being boring. I can take Kaiden on a mission and ignore that he exists. Ash won't shut the gently caress up about how racist she is.

I assume that means that character is currently the active one they have selected, and the screen is just changing to show each character as they browse?

Also two random nuggets: apparently it was confirmed on Twitter that at least one of the Krogan in that list is female.

And Kumail Nanjiani's "space frog" character was revealed to be a prominent Salarian politician in the game.

Are all of those just the Vanguard class, because if so that would imply some crazy amount of diversity for each class which would be killer.

Everyone seems to have kind of puffy cheeks. Their faces are rounder than drat near anyone from ME1-3
