[QUOTE=ToXiCsoldier;35454865]We still haven't had the answer to why Liara and Benzia have eyebrows while the rest of the asari don't.[/QUOTE] I think they are (and look) drawn on.

On the subject of Asari and eyebrows, though not really, I found this sorta interesting [QUOTE]Some asari, such as Matriarch Lidanya, Matriarch Benezia, Liara T'Soni, and Tela Vasir have facial markings, which are unique color patterns that vary for every asari. Some of these facial markings are associated with eyebrows by humans, but the asari do not think of the markings as such themselves.[/QUOTE]
yeah I think they are tatooed on as facial markings rather than actual imitation eyebrows
[QUOTE=mac338;35454968]On the subject of Asari and eyebrows, though not really, I found this sorta interesting[/QUOTE] also sorta entirely bullshit - just an excuse to give them eyebrows/more emotion
[QUOTE=ToXiCsoldier;35454865]We still haven't had the answer to why Liara and Benzia have eyebrows while the rest of the asari don't.[/QUOTE] Magic markers. It's a lot easier to show emotion on something that has eyebrows. Notice that even Garrus has eyebrow-plates. Basically, to the human brain, something that doesn't have eyebrows is seriously weird looking and your brain doesn't like it because it can't pick up on facial cues. So when they want an asari to look intimidating or alien, they don't give it eyebrows. When they want an asari to be an ally or otherwise expressive (e.g. Liara and Aria,) they give them eyebrow tattoos. Notice that the animators use the plated heads on Wrex, Grunt and Javik to a similar effect, often positioning the camera at such an angle that the plates partially cover the eyes to make them look angry. Like this: [img]http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1785rrTJz1qdt2dio1_500.jpg[/img] Passive angle [img]http://fronttowardsgamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/00javik.jepg_.jpg[/img] Aggressive angle Nothing on Javik's face has actually moved, but the angle at which you see him implies expression.

Coming out on April 10th. More free DLC: [hd]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BasebmHiqIo&feature=youtu.be[/hd]
Krogan Vanguard? Oh yes. Also "Over 75 perfect scores". I'm tired of seeing that everywhere.
Geth Infiltrator? I am all over that shit.
That video almost gave me a heartattack god I can't wait oh god yes yes yes it's in the beginning of my easter holidays I'm gonna play so hard I faint.
They should've focused on single-player....
[QUOTE=MiX-A;35455403]Coming out on April 10th. More free DLC: [hd]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BasebmHiqIo&feature=youtu.be[/hd][/QUOTE] Free stuff? Fuck yeah. Also, Krogan vanguard. Man I'm surprised at all this free stuff, creds to Bioware and EA for that. [editline]6th April 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Gripen2;35455515]They should've focused on single-player....[/QUOTE] I bet the multiplayer and singleplayer dev teams are mostly different.
All the new characters look cool. No idea what I would want to play as the new abilities all look sick. I wonder if those new weapons will be a available in SP as well? The Harpoon gun reminds me of the Javelin in Dead Space 2.
The Batarians looks pretty kickass as well. I really want the Justicar, but GOD knows how long that will take, getting the adept took me like a month.
Well, I did NOT expect that. A new DLC already and it's FREE? Not too shabby Bioware, not too shabby.
The new Krogan vanguard must be a wrecking ball of a character, man.

[QUOTE=usaokay;35455521]I thought Microsoft only allow one free DLC. Hmm[/QUOTE] One free DLC they don't charge the company for. The first Gears of War had 2 free map packs and Rainbow Six: Vegas had 2 map packs that not only went free but also refunded the people who bought them.
[QUOTE=H4wkeye;35454098]Mine was ME1: Garrus and Liara ME2: Garrus and Miranda ME3: Garrus and Liara :v:[/QUOTE] ME1: Garrus and Liara, occasionally Wrex instead of Liara. ME2: Garrus and Legion (I add him to my squad after Freedom's Progress) ME3: Garrus and Liara, Thessia with Javik.

[QUOTE=MiX-A;35455403]Coming out on April 10th. More free DLC: [hd]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BasebmHiqIo&feature=youtu.be[/hd][/QUOTE] They won points with this in my book. A hundred more of these and I'll have forgiven them for the monstrous ending.
[QUOTE=Gripen2;35455515]They should've focused on single-player....[/QUOTE] No, I played the Multiplayer much more than I did singleplayer, even if they add new side missions or new ending or whatever, in the end the replayability is still not as much as the multiplayer. I'm fucking hyped good lord, yes.
I feel like if you didn't have Liara with you in ME1 you were at a disadvantage.
Huh, all the new classes look great. I wonder what the Asari Justicar does though. And Bioware fucked up, the Geth do not infiltrate.
[QUOTE=Zezibesh;35455748]Huh, all the new classes look great. I wonder what the Asari Justicar does though. And Bioware fucked up, the Geth do not infiltrate.[/QUOTE] Probably less offensive biotic abilities, more supportive ones (hence the shield-thing like you used on the Collector Ship and that one Asari was using on Thessia.)
[QUOTE=usaokay;35455573]Oh yeah, I guess that confirms the leak huh (minus the Collector Ship, but there's a chance that might be truth).[/QUOTE] Yeah that's quite interesting. Thought it was bullshit.
[QUOTE=Lankist;35455609]Krogan Vanguard [img]http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1nz1wbz211qb4k21o1_400.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] And it's the 12:00 express to Hurtsville.
[QUOTE=Zezibesh;35455748]Huh, all the new classes look great. I wonder what the Asari Justicar does though.

[editline]6th April 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Swebonny;35455770]Yeah that's quite interesting. Thought it was bullshit.[/QUOTE] Same here.
[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;35455638]ME1: Garrus/Tali and Liara ME2: Garrus/Zaeed and Tali/Miranda ME3: Garrus and Liara[/QUOTE] ME1: Garrus and Wrex ME2: Garrus and Legion ME3: Garrus and... Liara? Maybe Tali... I guess?
