I promoted my Infiltrators so i could fix his powers and now I'm going to have to use my last god damn respec.
[QUOTE=Lankist;35460471]Space doesn't have a temperature. Only matter and radiation can have temperature. The problem with a vacuum, as I understand it, is that there's no way for body heat to dissipate. In other words, body heat dissipates in an atmosphere by your shit bumping into the atmosphere's shit and transferring energy to an external system. In a vacuum, there's nothing for your shit to interact with, so you just continually build up more and more body heat and die.
This is the same reason that, if you store hot coffee in a vacuum-sealed container, the coffee will stay hot.[/QUOTE]
But as we all know, space is not a vacuum. There are plenty of particles in space to bump into your body and absorb energy. It's just not as dense as an atmosphere. Also, as far as I'm aware, most particles radiate energy anyways, even it doesn't transfer to another particle directly.
Also, space is literally bathed in radiation...everywhere, practically. If light from stars can reach it, then microwaves, ultraviolet, and gamma rays are all bombarding the area. So just being outside a spaceship and being able to see a star would mean that your body is being hit with tons of very high energy waves that can fry you near instantly.
If these things didn't matter, why would astronauts have to wear a space suit on the moon? The moon has no atmosphere, so your body should be retaining its heat.

Also EVA suits are designed to regulate internal temperatures.
[QUOTE=ironman17;35460101]Something different would be good; currently all we have is a 10-wave Horde mode with a couple of objectives (keep control of a single point, assassinate specific enemies, activate/disable the devices, etc). There're quite a few MP modes that could be done, though I dunno if we can do any kinda versus modes, since that'd require either a whole rejiggering of multiplayer canon or the ability to play as the Horde-mode enemies... I forget, did the Dead Space 2 multiplayer appeal to anybody?
I also think that Escort missions should either be well-designed or not implemented at all, since not everyone enjoys the thought of escorting a dude through enemy territory.
Having a co-operative progressive campaign, complete with hub areas to muck around in, would be kinda fun to do; experiment with a co-operative role-playing experience.
Maybe a mode with more open maps and vehicular combat could be entertaining, too?[/QUOTE]
Even a simple survival mode would be fun, survive as long as you can against increasingly difficult waves
[QUOTE=Kinversulath;35460290]Hasn't it been firmly established that as Asari age, tit size increases?[/QUOTE]
There was maybe 6 months between ME2 and ME3, I don't think tit size increases that much in such a short time

I thought it was two years between Mass Effect 2 and 3. Arrival delayed the Reaper invasion by more than six months.

are media tags broken?
Protheans weren't what I'd expected, and although Javik is an awesome character, his race disappointed by not being very mysterious or different at all. I liked it when the only image in my head were the Prothean statues in Ilos, when they were more like Forerunners in Halo.
Either way Protheans and their cities and technologies and culture is still interesting, I think.
[QUOTE=GetBent;35460698]Nope it was six months.[/QUOTE]
Then what was the point of Arrival? Shepard delays the Reapers, sure, but he gets thrown in space jail for an equally long amount of time. Nobody prepares and nothing gets done, so it was entirely useless to the overall plot.
[QUOTE=Lankist;35460618][url]http://www.wwheaton.com/waw/mad/mad5.html[/url]

Ok, my point still stands that you shouldn't be able to go out in space with just a mask. At the very least the radiation should kill you near instantly. Also, even if EVA foam/suits still regulate internal temperatures, would it still be effective if your head was exposed?
[QUOTE=Grim Joker;35460686]I thought it was two years between Mass Effect 2 and 3. Arrival delayed the Reaper invasion by more than six months.[/QUOTE]
2 years between the intro to ME2 and the rest of ME2. 6 months between Arrival and ME3.

Well you get thrown in jail regardless of you doing Arrival or not, so yeah.

not entirely true. Certain extremophiles can subsist in vacuums, but those are usually single-cellular organisms.
You'd be fine if you had a way of internally regulating temperature and deflecting radiation.
Humans can actually survive a lot longer than you would think in a vacuum. I forget which, but one of the first upper-atmosphere flight tests undertaken by the US had the pilot, who wasn't wearing an EVA suit, get *out* of his module, fix some shit quickly, and then get back *in* and land. He described the experience as extremely disorienting, coming very near to passing out the entire time, but he managed to survive with relatively minimal damage.

That's what I'm saying. What's the point of that plot? You get thrown in jail for the duration you stalled them. Also, why would Shepard destroy an entire star system for an extra six months? Like, holy shit, that's quite the sacrifice just for a little tiny bit of extra time. He pisses it all away, anyways, so basically all of those Batarians died for nothing.

There isn't that much radiation hitting you. Sure you'd probably get some mild radiation poisoning, but it's not like walking into Chernobyl during the meltdown. The main problem is the lack of pressure.

Would have been a good question for that PAX event.
[QUOTE=yawmwen;35460396]I know this sounds really nit-picky, but does it bother anyone else that some of the squad members just wear oxygen masks sometimes? I see them out in fucking space or on some molten planet with nothing but a dinky mask, the rest of their face should be melting/freezing the fuck off, shouldn't it? You don't go out in space just because there isn't any air, space is really fucking cold.[/QUOTE]
I read somewhere that the characters that just wear gas masks use their biotic abilities to hold back the vacuum of space

Someone had to do it, otherwise the Reaper invasion would have been imminent. If Shepard didn't rescue Kenson, the 103rd Marines were dispatched instead.
Destroying the Alpha Relay at least gave he Turians some time to prepare, and Hackett had time to make plans. And as pointed out, many discovers only occurred just prior to the invasion; Liara's research on Mars & the discovery of Javik for one.

Even in the upper atmosphere, wouldn't you still be protected against the radiation by the Earth's magnetic field? If not, then my point is null and void.

It's worse. Stars put out tons of radiation. Think Chernobyl except millions of times bigger.

You seem to be forgetting how [i]utterly huge[/i] space is. There's a lot of radiation in space, but in the area your body occupies there isn't all that much more compared to when you're on Earth.
[QUOTE=Jackald;35460936]Mass Effect fields / space magic.[/QUOTE]
I don't see why it needs to be explained like that. Why couldn't your squadmates be put into a suit when you go outside? Some of them already are, I think.

Depends entirely on the altitude. This dude was in low orbit.
Point being that it's not entire infeasible that something could survive in the vacuum of space without an EVA suit for extended periods of time. It mostly depends on where that organism comes from. If they're adapted to extreme temperatures and/or sudden temperature shifts, they are likely very good at regulating their own internal temperature, and if they're from a world bombarded by radiation, they can probably withstand cosmic radiation for extended periods of time.
That said, Javik's lack of an oxygen mask is just stupid.
Also he doesn't understand evolution. But, then again, neither do the writers.

Alright, that's pretty suitable for me. Except that the specific character I was talking about that goes out without a suit is Miranda. I guess her genetic modification/biotics might help shield her.
