hooray, we're all a unique form of life and will never misunderstand each other again! but imagine being a husk and becoming 'alive' during the battle for earth what's the word for a fantasy realized again? oh yeah, nightmare.

there was also destiny which had cast peter dinklage as the player character's ghost - a sort of ai assistant made from the last pieces of a dead space-god-sphere. the ghost easily had the most lines in destiny and dinklage delivered them as you might think a dead god ai assistant might sound - kind of grim and detached, almost monotone, with occasional flashes of a sarcastic, withdrawn personality. a being that is emulating human emotions to help you out. given that destiny is this lore-dense post-apocalyptic world, dinklage's voice fit pretty well. then for whatever reason, perhaps due to game of thrones blowing up, they recast dinklage with nolan north, including a full replacement of any existing lines. nolan north took the ghost in a direction that can best be described as obsessive-compulsive manchild nerd that treats everything like a joke. which, given that ghost has so many lines and even speaks for your character at times, has given the nolan ghost the dubious honor of being the most annoying advisor character I've ever experienced in any game. it was kinda funny that people who didn't like dinklage's take on the character were like 'can we get dinklage back? this new guy is even worse'

Shepard. Two weeks ago, a Cerberus cell was tasked with determining how Thresher Maws reacted to the presence of other lifeforms. Unfortunately, it appears that the experiment has exceeded our expectations *takes drag from cigarette* and we've lost contact with the entire team.

kilus aof posted:I assume they are talking about this article: lmfao "I love the Mass Effect games. I’ll buy and play the Legendary Edition. The series means a lot to me and the horrors of Overlord haven’t completely overridden that, just as the lack of queer romance options, other poor handling of disabled characters, or issues framing women didn’t override my love for the series. " this is terrible and an atrocity and depiction equals endorsement and I'm going to pay you for it TWICE OVER

politicians bad, soldiers good is the message or just about every sci-fi genre story ever written so I'm not sure we can lay this (or gamergate lmfao this thread) at mass effect's feet

NikkolasKing posted:It's also an RPG though and one reason I love WRPGs is talking things out. Me to Cmdr Shepard: "You did a racism. You did an imperialism. You did a nationalism. You did a xenophobia. You did a white fragility. You did a weak apology. You did a no growth."

the thing that i'll always remember about mass effect 3 is that it feels like you got less say over what shepard said in conversations and that there were points where it felt like dialogue choices had been removed. feels like a game that was really running up against console hardware limitations and they had to cut it down to the bone in places.

Sentinel Red posted:I've always found the snide whinging about the evidence ridiculous. Nothing would have been improved by having a 30 minute forensics scene where everyone sits around the Geth data core with a host of independent technicians verifying that yes, this is a Geth data core, it does not appear to have been tampered with in any recognisable way, and some of the data retrieved is this audio log recording of Saren Arturius and Matriarch Benezia, and Fist was hired by Saren to kill the person who found it. It's definitely real because as you can see here, the 54,000 databits are entirely blah blah blah loving blah Jesus H Christ are people really so incapable of just inferring stuff and filling in the loving blanks? Do they need to have everything explained and spoon fed to them in nauseating detail? you're extremely stupid

SR3 was awful and the super wackiness verging on parody was a THQ decision, not Volition lmao. all the stuff people remember from SR2 is the startlingly dark parts. everyone's forgotten loving zimos lmao.

the collectors were building a reaper to try and activate the citadel again because of the necessity of using it to summon the rest of the reapers - it is a last ditch plan. shepard killed sovereign so kill shepard and try again. the issue isn't with me2, it is with me3 deciding that actually they could just fly in from dark space and catch the galaxy unawares anyway

Ouroboros posted:I'm getting into ME3 and I'm starting to feel like a common throughline with the issues in this series is Cerberus. So far in 3 I've spent far more time fighting them than the Reapers, and on any level they are just far less compelling villains. It feels like some of the writers reeaaaally love Cerberus for some reason and shoehorn them in at every opportunity, even when it makes no sense or requires galactic leaps in logic to justify. And for what? They're not compelling adversaries (certainly compared to the Reapers), they're not compelling allies in 2, they're just a stock cartoon supervillain with inexplicably unlimited resources and no clear goal other than 'do evil stuff'. TIM's aims are vague and confused, he supposedly is trying to control the Reapers but he's launching a full scale attack on the Salarian homeworld to stop the genophage cure? Why does he care about this?? Are they all 100% indoctrinated agents of the Reapers, and if so why choose to have them represent the Reaper threat in the moment to moment gameplay when the actual Reapers are right there, way more interesting both visually and conceptually, and don't require a dissertation of headcanon to justify? it always felt like the writers had a weird desire to push some combination of cerberus/TIM/kai leng/liara to the forefront beyond what the universe established for them, most noticeable in the various eu materials
