I haven't met one fellow Drell :(
[QUOTE=sltungle;34769235]How on EARTH could you forget that?!

I've got it! Forgetting how blue ME1 was would be like forgetting that the Star Wars series had Jedi, lightsabers, and the Death Star.

[QUOTE=doommarine23;34769145]Personally I like to see it as a form of commentary and also a bit of an moral test.
By hating all Batarians for being horrible assholes, you're just as bad as them. They're not mindless machines, a handful you meet can be reasoned with, one openly shows regret for being racist (one in Mordin's mission, the sick one).

Maybe, there's still some validity in it though. Being of the one race and having a shared culture which they seem to adhere to a good amount, there are certain traits which they have a very high likelihood of having. So high to the point that you're going to be better off asuming they have it rather than asuming they don't. In the case of Batarians, you're safer in assuming that they're assholes who hate humans than the reverse.
Then it comes down to how you want to treat them knowing this. There'll be a few who can change but it's not worth counting on and the rest are too irrational in their hatred to care. You can be indifferent to them in the hopes that blindness to the issue will help, among the ones already working with humans it's likely, but it'll probably come up and where's the fun in not caring anyway? Or you can be an asshole back, not irrationally and you're willing to move for particular individuals, but generally reciprocating the hatred with more hatred. Cycles can be broken by diplomats and I'm not in dire need of anything a Batarian can provide.
Generally though this is only on a personal level. Arrival was an obvious choice, not a HURRBATARIANS one. Jokes about it are made in the same fashion as Holocaust jokes and do not reflect on actual morality.

I'm actually amazed at my luck.
I came in thinking it would take forever to get Salarian. I got it with the starter pack. :v:

The funny thing is if you applied this same logic to humans of a different race than yourself you'd instantly be called racist, even if your point was actually semi-valid.

Key point is culture more than race, and country stereotypes are generally fine. A chinese guy who grew up in France is a wine-drinking, snail-eating surrender monkey, even if he's racially Chinese.
That kind of thing apparently doesn't exist in Sci-fi very often.

I got my Drell Vanguard in mine. :v:
It's the only one I play, the others just aren't as fun to me.

Drell Vanguard is hilarious fun. Pull + charge or cluster grenade creates hilarious explosions.
They really have improved the sound effects on the weapons, in the squad leader trailer they sounded like shit.

To be honest, that is a bad trailer in my opinion. Made it seem like ME3 was going to suck, but the demo surprised me.
[QUOTE=Jackald;34769527]Man, Shepard's squad is so shit at the co-op. They can't even take down one atlas without Liara dying, what a scrub. Considering we are regularly fighting 6 per round on gold...[/QUOTE]
I haven't played a single round of Gold yet.
And I'm scared to try :v:
I can't even get in a single round of MP.
I just get stuck on the connection screen.
[QUOTE=Jackald;34769550]It's not so bad. It's just like playing level 10 on silver for every round with 3 times the number of enemies and a higher proportion of those enemies being phantoms and atlases.[/QUOTE]
oh is that all
sounds easy

Also spinkicks.
Never enough spinkicks.
I just now noticed how weapon mods models change depending on its level.
Such a small detail, but so cool.
I'm mostly annoyed by phantoms because not only are they fast, evade almost everything you throw at them, have strong barriers but they also shoot this shit out of their hands that destroys your shields in a blink of an eye.
Ok, either i'm really good at multiplayer or everyone I play with is pure shit. I expect the latter.
Good Morning Comrades, anyone up for a game in ME3 Multiplayer on Silver?
Level 16 Adept
Tom083 is my Origin name if anyone is interested

I'll be up for it in a couple of minutes.
[QUOTE=EcksDee;34769953]I'll be up for it in a couple of minutes.[/QUOTE]
Right-O
Im hoping we can get 4 people for this
One more person needed, step aboard my comrades!
I would love to join, but it's saying it's down for me.
Wait, now it's fine, my Origin name is also Dejarie, if you got any spare spots.
Turns out Tactical Cloak doesn't actually make you invisible because enemies can still hit (And kill!) you when you're cloaked and about ten yards away from them!

From a conversation me and Arvuti were having on steam, can you imagine if Mass Effect actually looked like that and wasn't so heavily consolized? Damn, that'd look awesome.[/QUOTE]
Bioware can't into proper dynamic shadows.

Me!
I've been playing mass effect 1 again and I was at the part were Ashley and Liara confront you and I was bored so I did can't I have you both. Which was fucking sweet, but Liara said thanks for choosing me. I wanted Ashley. Am I fucked.

Thanks for reminding me to label it. Probably get a faster response.

He meant that you should [I][B]not[/B][/I] spoilertag anything that is not about the Mass Effect 3 singleplayer.
