Mass Effect Megathread: DING DONG BANNU edition - Games

[QUOTE=Scar;35559777]Yeah, and Wrex doesn't give people retarded Nicknames[/QUOTE] Wrex should just have eaten Vega and become to replacing squadmate.

Or Lola if you're playing Female Shepard. Too bad for Vega my FemShep doesn't give a damn about what other people think and completely shot him down.

Unrelated, but Shep is kind of a Hypocrite, isn't he? When you fight with the Cerbersu Ninja/Adam Jensen wanna-be, he says something like "YOU'RE USING REPEAR TECH!!" Yeah, not like you got ressurected with Reaper Technology or anything

Wrex also doesn't become subject to forced flirting from femshep, even if she's in a relationship with somebody else. Vega's an ok character in my opinion, it's just that's it a little too late for him to make any impact on the series.

The final conflict, the epic war, we have the Normandy packed with Shepard's friends she's known for years, friends she's become close too, and then Vega. The Squad, minus Vega are all people Shepard has loved and lost with. Why it wasn't Wrex blows my mind, since Vega is obviously meant to be a Krogan standin.

So I'm assuming I should just give up about getting that Commendation Pack from Raptor, eh?

Besides, Wrex was busy being Chieftain for the entire Krogan species, he wasn't able to be a squadmate for either ME2 or ME3 because of this.

People don't really care about Vega and he doesn't contribute anything to the series. So, does nobody care about new players, and do new players not contribute anything to the series?

And I fell in such love with Wrex it was insane. As long as the character is present you can love them. My buddy never played the first one, and only knows Wrex from the cutscences on the PS3 version of 2, but is one of his favorite characters.

I laughed when I saw "Major Coats". because of his name.

apparently everyone on BSN likes Vega I can't understand why.

Isn't Major Coats that guy in the trailer or some random nobody?

[QUOTE=supertribute;35560183]Isn't Major Coats that guy in the trailer or some random nobody?[/QUOTE] He's the guy in Big Ben.

[QUOTE=supertribute;35560183]Isn't Major Coats that guy in the trailer or some random nobody?[/QUOTE] Yeah, Major Coats was the guy from that initial trailer. He probably wasn't gonna have much of a part, but people loved him so much that they gave him a name and threw him in.

[QUOTE=Sardonus;35560177]apparently everyone on BSN likes Vega I can't understand why.[/QUOTE] He has his moments.

[QUOTE=Sardonus;35560177]apparently everyone on BSN likes Vega I can't understand why.[/QUOTE] It's because apart from his annoying habit of giving you a nickname, he's actually a pretty interesting person to talk to and bring with on missions.

[B]People don't really care about Vega and he doesn't contribute anything to the series.[/B] So, does nobody care about new players, and do new players not contribute anything to the series?[/QUOTE] Except I found him an interesting character and a generous portion of BSN agrees, and this is coming from the people that thought he was going to just be a big meatheaded idiot that would be spending plenty of time on the Normandy.

It kind of ruins it when you see half of his actions coming from miles away.

Hell, if you had to pick to save one of them, and let the other die, who would it be?

Sure, people like Vega but that's a no fucking brainer

I'm a bit late on this but what consequences you get if [sp]you saved the council[/sp] and [sp]kept the Collector base[/sp] and vice versa?

[QUOTE=Marden;35560487]I'm a bit late on this but what consequences you get if [sp]you saved the council[/sp] and [sp]kept the Collector base[/sp] and vice versa?[/QUOTE] If you save the council you get the Destiny Ascension as a war asset, but all of the human fleets lose 1/3 strength (It still comes out to about the same amount of War Assets). If you kept the Collector Base you get a WHOPPING 10 POINTS EXTRA.

[QUOTE=yawmwen;35551407] They shouldn't have even made the excuse. It should have straight up said, "Yea, you did this shit Shepard. What? You don't remember? Well fuck you because it happened".[/QUOTE] Hope they get arrested for being corrupt.

Unrelated but here's an interesting scenario for you: What if in ME1 the decision was between Garrus and Wrex instead of Ashley/Kaidan? Who would you choose? Disregarding everything about their characters post ME1.

Disregarding everything about their characters post ME1.[/QUOTE] Don't even joke about that, man. In all seriousness, I think I would have to go Garrus. I REALLY like Wrex and Krogan in general, but Garrus is like that old best friend that you can talk to about anything. Wrex is more "Hey Shepard, lets go eat some salarian livers". Don't get me wrong though, I love them both, and tears would be shed.
