[QUOTE=Jedi_Rayne;35401616]Well, that, and Adam Baldwin is not related to the Baldwin brothers.[/QUOTE] exactly so why would they hate adam balwin? SPECULATION
[QUOTE=mac338;35401583]Quick question: If [sp]everyone died on the citadel before it was transported to earth, how come there are cars driving around on the ground during the final confrontation with the Illusive man?

Adam Baldwin is awesome. [editline]2nd April 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Cone;35401663][sp]Either because Shepard is batshit insane by that point or because Bioware is incredibly lazy. Take your pick.[/sp][/QUOTE] Batshit lazy.
[QUOTE=Jedi_Rayne;35401616]Well, that, and Adam Baldwin is not related to the Baldwin brothers.[/QUOTE] Didn't know Alec had a brother, so just meant other Baldwin as in generally.

[editline]2nd April 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Greeneyes;35401679]Didn't know Alec had a brother, so just meant other Baldwin as in generally.[/QUOTE] There are like six Baldwin brothers, and they are all actors.
Massive hint at Omega DLC (its a litho from Bioware's store): [IMG]http://biowarestore.com/art-litho-me3-aria-full.jpg[/IMG]
[QUOTE=Arachnidus;35401686]Another possibility: [sp]Not EVERYBODY is dead, but the station is still under siege.[/sp][/QUOTE] So everybody's just driving around undisturbed by reapers? That's off considering that's kind of where they [sp]process people[/sp]

Am I the only one who felt the planet architectural designs were pretty uninspired? I mean, Earth had the most unique architecture, with old Gothic buildings scraping walls with slick new ones. It also had models and details like no other planet. Other planets had clunky, thick and roundish blocks for fences and crates. Very few thin, fine lines and historical details. And a distinct lack of color too. It feels rehashed and impersonal, like a cheap architect's concept, rather then a place someone's lived for generations. Most planets disappointed, particularly Thessia.

[QUOTE=Darth_GW7;35401757] Pre-sale with expected ship date of April 9th oh god[/QUOTE] swear to god if more stupid aria bullshit is all we get out of PAX, I'm done patronizing this fucking company. Aria is a fucking writer's pet. She's almost as bad as Liara. only thing I ever want to see Aria in ever again is a DLC where you kill Aria, and ONLY if there's no stupid bullshit "she was my friend all along!" angst and dumb deathbed monologues.
what if the aria dlc brings up shepard himself as a subplot like, omega is a p. huge cerberus hq now
Just because they posted that on their BioStore for purchase, doesn't mean they'll make an Omega DLC.
[QUOTE=Egevened;35402062]what if the aria dlc brings up shepard himself as a subplot like, omega is a p. huge cerberus hq now[/QUOTE] the fact that, when in the presence of Aria, the main character of this entire franchise gets relegated to a sub-plot is why I don't like Aria. She's supposed to be scary but she never does anything threatening. She's supposed to be smart but she's never actually seen scheming. She's supposed to be strong but she's never seen fighting. All she does in the entire game is talk about herself and how great she is, to absolutely no benefit to the plot. Arrogance and hubris can work to the story's benefit, but not if it consists solely of couch-talk interludes. At least Liara actually pretends to know something about anything with all of those criminal resources she's supposedly using. Aria just sits on a couch and talks about Aria. Self-obsession only works in a character if there's something to be obsessed with. Take away the "fuck you all" attitude and Aria is a bunch of bland, canned dialog that we might as well have been given in an email or something. You know that feeling where, the first time you see a character in the game, you KNOW you're going to have to fight them at some point? Like, they're going to double-cross you, or they're really working against you? That's what I first got from Aria. And then she didn't do anything, at all, for two games. And yet, for some reason, I'm still supposed to give a shit about her.
[QUOTE=H4wkeye;35402133]Just because they posted that on their BioStore for purchase, doesn't mean they'll make an Omega DLC.[/QUOTE] Yeah, but why would they make a lithograph for a minor character such as her. Plus in the leak there was dialog relating to taking back Omega.
[QUOTE=GetBent;35402157]Yeah, but why would they make a lithograph for a minor character such as her. Plus in the leak there was dialog relating to taking back Omega.[/QUOTE] To be fair it may be for the comics they made about Aria.
Taking back Omega seems kinda pointless since they're probably going to starve they the relays explode.
[QUOTE=Lankist;35402185]To be fair it may be for the comics they made about Aria.[/QUOTE] True, but it has the Mass Effect 3 logo.
[QUOTE=GetBent;35402197]True, but it has the Mass Effect 3 logo.[/QUOTE] thats just their integrity stamp
yeah what if the take back omega thing is after me3 it's closure fuck because we get to know what changed [editline]2nd April 2012[/editline] and considering with all the endings it'd take ships some good weeks to reach omega, what if this takes place like 10 years later you could even have shep's squadmates in maybe the relay scandal happens in all endings for this reason? a delay?
[QUOTE=Egevened;35402216]yeah what if the take back omega thing is after me3 it's closure fuck because we get to know what changed[/QUOTE] omega wouldn't exist anymore for me because i destroyed all advanced technolology. i mean you could call it "take back shitty asteroid that nobody can go to anymore."
[QUOTE=Greeneyes;35401736]Massive hint at Omega DLC (its a litho from Bioware's store): [IMG]http://biowarestore.com/art-litho-me3-aria-full.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] Well, I think I'll buy this. Can't have to much Asari ass in your room.
[QUOTE=Lankist;35402235]omega wouldn't exist anymore for me because i destroyed all advanced technolology. i mean you could call it "take back shitty asteroid that nobody can go to anymore."[/QUOTE] iirc it doesnt destroy all advanced tech, it destroys tech capable of thought? like, AIs wouldn't exist, then maybe some more advanced VIs (geth lol) [editline]2nd April 2012[/editline] also, I think the confusion stems from "even you are partly synthetic" said by catalyst I don't think shepard is synthetic the same way a biotic soldier is, implants and all - we never really got specifics in what fucked ways shep was reconstructed
Well, maybe the Omega DLC will be kinda like Project Overlord and shit, you know, not directly related to the main plot, just a small "side-story".
[QUOTE=Egevened;35402264]iirc it doesnt destroy all advanced tech, it destroys tech capable of thought? like, AIs wouldn't exist, then maybe some more advanced VIs (geth lol)[/QUOTE] Depends on your EMS. For lower EMS, Destroy wipes out everything with a microchip. Higher EMS, you just kill the Geth I think. Then again, the only difference between the two is a couple of lines from Captain Trustworthy.
