I like Mass Effect and am excited to play them all again. Liara is good. Liara is life.

The girl who hosed Varrens? What? I’ve played this series numerous times and somehow I thankfully missed out on whatever that bit of lore is. Also Kasumi with fully upgraded Shadow Strike is the most powerful ME2 companion. But Zaeed and Grunt are the most entertaining.

The biggest crime of the series was not making Dr. Chakwas a romance option. Like, wtf BioWare, let me space bang with space Hellen Mirren!

Pattonesque posted:my favorite little detail about Sheen as TIM is that at one point they told him to read a line as if Shepard was backsassing him and he was like "oh they wouldn't dare" Martin Sheen left nothing on the table as TIM and I’m 100% positive he did with a real cigarette and glass of whiskey. He sounded like he had a blast being just evil as all hell.

They gave Benezia a gigantic space rack. I think my favorite bit of voice acting in the whole series is when you break into the dude’s office on Noveria and the corrupt security chick says “You’re not supposed to be in here.” And Shepard (it’s best with Femshep) very deadpan says “Do you think you’re gonna make me leave?” It’s just great.

You know who loving sucks? The guy who shows up to "inspect" the Normandy in ME1. That dude is such a perfect distillation of so many fuckhead officers and senior NCOs I dealt with in the military. Like, no dude, you don't get to do a no-notice white glove of my ship just because you lost out. Go pound sand motherfucker. Although it is fun sometimes to let him do it and then convince him he's wrong about it. And even if you do that he still says the report "won't be as bad". gently caress you, man.

Oh and speaking of great voice acting, Lance Henriksen just crushes it as Admiral Hackett for all three games.

While “Commander” is an actual US Navy/Royal Navy rank, in any military unit (well speaking about the US here) someone who is in command of a military unit is a “Commander” though typically they are referred to as “The Commander” especially if you’re in trouble lol

The best way to do Mass Effect 3 is to create a save just before priority Earth, get the “perfect ending” if you can but it’s fine if you don’t, finish the game, then load that save file and do the Citadel DLC so the big party can be the final little bit.

Holy poo poo exquisite tea posted:In order to get that scenario you simply have to save Wrex on Virmire and sabotage the genophage cure. He will always figure it out, there's no escaping killing him if you side with the Salarian Dalatrass. You can't get Mordin/Padok to sabotage it themselves if Wrex is alive, you'll have to shoot them. Keeping Mordin alive is the single most difficult outcome to achieve in Tuchanka. Wrex has to be dead or never recruited, Eve has to be dead, and Mordin must have survived the events of ME2. holy poo poo

SlothfulCobra posted:I think there's a lot of evidence that EA is the cause of Bioware structuring itself towards less reachable goals with less creative power behind them, and less coherent visions and more annoying business models. The whole thing where a lot of important creatives get moved around from game to game in the middle of production seems really bad for the whole process. I mean charging people 10-20 dollars for Adobe Flash games isn’t exactly the most sustainable business model

Android Blues posted:The same thing happens with EDI, where she does the whole fish-out-of-water Bicentennial Man trying to learn how to love routine for much of her ME3 character development. It just feels like a lazy way to write AI characters, making their sole drive an uncomplicated desire to be "human" and their storylines about their progress towards that goal. I’ve always kinda wondered how a dude with brittle bone disease is supposed to gently caress a robot.
