[QUOTE=Devodiere;35301049]They can have predators and still have prey. How else would a Krogan die though, old age?[/QUOTE] I don't think there's a single Krogan in canon that has died of old age. Okeer was about 1k years old and showed no signs of slowng.

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;35301072]I don't think there's a single Krogan in canon that has died of old age. Okeer was about 1k years old and showed no signs of slowng.[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure he was much older than 1000. Him and Wrex were around during the Krogan Rebellions weren't they? That makes them at least 1400+.
[QUOTE=Dominicus;35301257]Silly Javik. Kaiden doesn't outrank the Commander. :downs:[/QUOTE] Kaiden doesn't outrank the janitor. He's just so boring that most people don't notice he's there. The perfect Spectre.
Isn't Kaidan a Major? That's a higher rank than both of the possible "Commander" ranks.
[QUOTE=GetBent;35301351]Isn't Kaidan a Major? That's a higher rank than both of the possible "Commander" ranks.[/QUOTE] I assumed he was also promoted to Luitenant-Commander (like Ashley) and would just be outranked by Shepard's Commander rank. But seeing as he is a Major he does outrank Shepard. Save for the fact that Shepard is the first Human spectre and part of N7. Which puts him/her way higher.
finished the game not sure why they didn't use the original ending i read about, it seems like they went out of their way to make it retarded still enjoyed the game a decent amount though, welp guess i'll wait for the 'real' ending

They postphoned it once already and didn't dare do it again.
[QUOTE=Akzon0r;35300871]Does anybody know if shooting a Ravager's swarm sacks deal more damage to it?[/QUOTE] Destroying all 4 in one hit will insta-kill it. I.e. frag grenade, etc.
[QUOTE=Dominicus;35301406]Lack of time. They postphoned it once already and didn't dare do it again.[/QUOTE] i hope they scrap everything after [sp]shepard ascends into the ceiling? [/sp] i think everything up until that point was ok
[QUOTE=Hamsterjuice;35301444]i hope they scrap everything after [sp]sheperd ascends into the ceiling? [/sp] i think everything up until that point was ok[/QUOTE] They should start from the point where he/she got hit.
[QUOTE=Dominicus;35301448]They should start from the point where he/she got hit.[/QUOTE] i didn't mind the [sp]confrontation with the illusive man[/sp], it's [sp]talking to the spectral kid that is the crucible? and everything following that[/sp] that i thought was amazingly dumb
[QUOTE=GetBent;35301351]Isn't Kaidan a Major? That's a higher rank than both of the possible "Commander" ranks.[/QUOTE] Well traditionally naval forces don't have the rank of Major but assuming he got it somehow, it's still lower than Commander and Shep's proper rank of Captain given he was never promoted after moving from XO to Spectre Captain. Asume Shep is retired and retains his rank, but is still on active duty in other branches that do not have ranks, so he keeps his last rank. Maybe also a nod to James Bond previously being in the Royal Navy and also retaining the rank Commander despite moving to intelligence.

Alliance military ranks are just confusing. It's a bizarre combination of Marine and Navy rankings. ENLISTED Serviceman 3rd Class/Private 2nd Class Serviceman 2nd Class/Private 1st Class Serviceman 1st Class/Corporal NCOs Service Chief Gunnery Chief Operations Chief OFFICERS 2nd Lieutenant 1st Lieutenant Staff Lieutenant Lieutenant Commander Staff Commander Captain/Major Rear Admiral/General Admiral Fleet Admiral So Shepard and Kaiden are equal in ranks. Shepard's a Captain in the Alliance Navy and Kaiden's a major in the Alliance Marines.

To which he/she said "It's Commander, not Captain."
On a ship a Commander will outrank it's equivalent in the army and be equivalent to the army rank above but still make the orders, so on the Normandy Shepard outranks Kaiden. On the ground Kaiden would technically outrank him but Shep is a spectre so it doesn't apply.

Shep was clearly pretty unpopular with the brass after the whole mess with the alpha relay and Cerberus. Anderson and Hackett were probably the only higher-ups that backed him. [editline]26th March 2012[/editline] Which is why Shep hasn't been promoted.

So I was playing Mass Effect 1, used a relay and this happened. Bug, or foreshadowing by Bioware? You decide. [t]http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/576699902967108912/AD3C96A774A53B22560AF4C8FD2FE1298383DBC6/[/t]

[QUOTE=Arvuti;35302082]-late-[/QUOTE] Look just a few posts back.
[QUOTE=Heigou;35298895]Manguard aims for the stars! Started at wave 4-5, lasted until the end. Also no editing was made, was too lazy on this one.[/QUOTE] So this happens to other people as well? I get this glitch very often after I get revived. It's pretty cool when you realize you can't die, but then you start falling through the map.
You know what I think would be nice? [sp]If, after Shepard gets knocked out by the beam (indoctrination theory etc.), we see his two squadmates carrying him to the beam while he tries to regain consciousness. And after you reach the citadel, your squadmates have to split up for some reason, and you briefly get to play as each of them. Afterwards, Shepard finally wakes up, regains his strength, and you play as him for the final battle.[/sp]
