[QUOTE=mikester112;35436587]I thought that was pretty obvious, looking at his face you can see all the wrinkles and stuff.[/QUOTE] I knew he was old, I just didn't know he was that old. That's like a 100 year old man running around with guns curing the genophage.
[QUOTE=GetBent;35436490]Where did you get that he is 27? He said he did his mandatory 15 years for the State.[/QUOTE] Yeah, for turians that probably starts at 10

[QUOTE=Lankist;35436538]Mordin is exceedingly old for a Salarian, and at the end of his lifespan. [sp]Hence why he joins a suicide mission and later sacrifices himself for the Krogan. He was a dead man walking anyway.[/sp][/QUOTE] I was thinking about that and that would be like having a 100 year old man in our current military
The store was eating my credits so I went to support. They told me to go to Target for the issue since I got the game there...
[QUOTE=Smashmaster;35436673]Yeah, for turians that probably starts at 10[/QUOTE] 15.
[QUOTE=Jmir 54;35436755]I was thinking about that and that would be like having a 100 year old man in our current military[/QUOTE] He'd most likely be Supreme Commander or something like that.

For instance, whatever equivalent they have to a liver/kidneys would burn out very quickly due to how fast they metabolize substances, regardless of how otherwise physically fit they are. I dunno how many pee-breaks Mordin has to take, though. He's probably catheterized himself, honestly. That, and the dude's a scientist/doctor, so it's not a leap to think he's kept himself in good health.
Got to Wave 9 on a gold match, was just about to kill the second banshee that was near us when my power suddenly shuts off for a moment.
I tried to find the shifty looking cow on that one planet in me1 I searched the entire area and found a bunch of regular looking cows, but no shifty looking ones And I couldn't pull up a walkthrough because I can't get the steam overlay to work But fear not, I will return to that planet and find that cow someday!

They've already established that you can bring people back from the dead and upload consciousness onto computers. I let it go for the sake of storytelling, though. Not much drama when everyone's immortal.
Holy shit, I got a saber and a hornet today, fuck yeah spectre packs.
[QUOTE=GetBent;35436086]At least 30 since he did his mandatory service from 15-30. And Wrex was around during the Krogan Rebellions, so he is at least 1400 years old.[/QUOTE] But Wrex apparently didn't fight in them, he doesn't recognize the Rachni on Noveria.

People might have moral objections against being uploaded since there's the whole stream of consciousness issue to tackle. [QUOTE=Framperton;35433548]Yeah really. What the fuck is he talking about? I found my self trying to put on the brakes and look around in between missions for stuff to do, but there just wasn't anything other THAN that 'critical path'. I for one found looking for resources in ME3 far more annoying than I did in the previous two. If anything, there was a greater chance I would forget something in this game because of having the flee from the reapers and wait for the system to cool down again.[/QUOTE] I just modded it so I scan a whole system in one click, Reapers never get alerted and I have infinite fuel.
[QUOTE=Zezibesh;35437549]Shepard's treatment was ridiculously costly and required the best experts in the field. People might have moral objections against being uploaded since there's the whole stream of consciousness issue to tackle.[/QUOTE] It's not like there isn't a market for it. We already spend lots of money today on treatments that extend lifetimes; immortality is just taking it a step further. Besides, if it's expensive, just take out a loan. You'll have plenty of time to pay it off.
[QUOTE=Lankist;35436538]He was a dead man walking anyway.[/sp][/QUOTE] Then again, who isn't.
If the game had left me with the [I]immediate[/I] post-ending feel I might have really liked it. An End, Once And For All is such a magnificent track. But when Das Malefitz started playing my brain booted up again, and my thought processes immediately led me to the plotholes. Damnit.

[QUOTE=Lankist;35437819]that isnt garrus he isnt wearing a visor[/QUOTE] speaking of which, is there any point in any mass effect game where he doesn't wear it?
[QUOTE=mikester112;35437531]Holy shit, I got a saber and a hornet today, fuck yeah spectre packs.[/QUOTE] After long hard work today i'll do some rounds, get another v:v:v
[QUOTE=milkandcooki;35437879]speaking of which, is there any point in any mass effect game where he doesn't wear it?[/QUOTE] Lair Of The Shadow Broker says it's got some kind of zoom function and a music player in it.
Have few questions: 1) If i import my ME3 character, i can buy weapons till lvl 10, does this apply on mods? Like heavy barrel X for sniper rifles for example? 2) Also, what song playing when [sp]Legion is uploading reaper code to geth before Vigil theme starts?[/sp]
