theres nothing funny about pregnancy its awful
I just finished Mass Effect 3 an hour ago, having avoided any and all spoilers beforehand.
Ignoring the obvious flaws with the ending, did anyone else actually understand a fucking word that child-Hitler was actually saying before you get to choose? I had to look up a guide just to figure out what each ending did, and which paths choose which ending. Either I'm retarded and missed something crucial, or there's more wrong with the ending than just the ending.
everyone's calling him space hitler now, when I said he reminded me of hitler all I got was boxes.

this has probably been brought up before, but I'm having trouble understanding the relationship between the reapers and the rest of the galaxy.
The mass relay network only allows travel to like .0001 of the entire galaxy, as a result it seems there is only a 100 or so planets that we can explore/visit. My question is what about life beyond the range of the mass relays? There could very well be hundreds of thousands of advanced civilizations both organic and synthetic in the "unexplored" parts of the galaxy. Do the reapers ignore 99.999% of the galaxy? If you could truly comprehend the size of the galaxy and the amount of planets (billions), then you'd realise that there is absolutely no way the reapers could destroy all advanced organic life in the galaxy. so this cycle only affects a very small section of the galaxy. if this is all true, then the reapers stated purpose makes no sense (not that it really made sense to begin with).
soverign states in me1 that the mass relays are designed to influence a civilizations evolution so that their resulting technology is always the same/predictable. perhaps the many civilizations that werent influenced by the mass relays developed vastly different. after all, isnt that why the reapers built the relays? because they feared that a civilization may develop technology more advanced or powerful than their own?

In 90% of science fiction, the size of the galaxy gets trimmed down to about a hundred planets. This is due to Occam's razor. The plot would suck if the council consisted of many hundreds of thousands of member species. Better to have a few well developed races than a bunch of crappy ones.

The entire relay network isn't explored, and exploration of it is discouraged by Council law. If life develops beyond what is explored then they will eventually find the relays and thus find the Citadel.

are you saying that every single planet in the galaxy is accessible through unexplored relays, because i dont see how that is possible. for example, the serpent nebula and the annos basin are directly connected to each other via a mass relay over a distance of several thousand light years. what about all the planets and systems that exist between these two mass relays/star clusters?

I thought the same thing, that it was a decorative collar, but it migh have some resemblence. Good chance it's exaggerated on most armour but it's still there on casual clothes so it's probably got some resemblance.[/QUOTE]

it would make sense if turians used to be like, turtles, or something
Not all relays are active, and even the ones that are active sometimes only connect to a single other relay. I'd also see that as gameplay and story segregation. In-Universe the galaxy is huge, but there is only so much the developers can do to make it appear that way before it becomes far too complex and just isn't worth the time and space on the disc. It just isn't feasible to have hundreds of systems. It clutters the galaxy map and it becomes nothing but filler without countless side-quests. With that in mind I'd love to see what games are like in a couple decades when that kind of thing can be done without the final product being far too large to actually put on a disc and sell.

The way it's over-exaggerated in the armor design doesn't seem to fit a race that takes pride in their combat prowess. The collar is nothing but a huge place for an enemy to grab.

yeah well he was asking why it was there so i was responding
you got a problem with that cabrone
I'm really glad they didn't scrap the codex. It seems like one of the things "casuals" wouldn't like, and following the realm of what game series' do now-a-days, the game'd be toned down and one of the first things to go would be the codex, as they increased focus on gameplay.
Good job on keeping it.

Everyone know the way to make an alien is to take a human and then for every bit of crap you subtract, you then add elsewhere.
Remove two fingers from each hand? That's there the head spikes come from.
Only two toes? Now you've got your pointless oversized turtle-neck.
No hair? Metal plates and those weird bits out the back of their legs. (lack of hair is a wild-card for anything.)
Please note that face clay aliens are the exception as they have neither lost nor gained anything.
Different coloured skin also does not cause one to loose or gain any "points" so to speak.

There might be a mass relay or three between those two, we can't know. The point is that there's enough relays that eventually a race will [I]most likely[/I] stumble upon one and thus the larger galaxy. All the major races are the really lucky ones that had a relay in their home system, but some species like the Elcor would have to travel two or three systems to reach one. Of course it's likely there's more civilizations stuck outside these "bubbles" of explored space, but those will most likely eventually die anyway. If they don't die they're either actively exploring space and will eventually stumble upon a mass relay, or they're part of the ecosystem of their planet(s) and thus won't run out of resources but won't have advanced technology that would be a threat either. While there's a chance that when they finally find a relay they'll have ship technology that's close to Reaper-level, the Reapers will still heavily outnumber them since what species is going to actively pump out thousands and thousands of dreadnought-class ships while they're isolated from the rest of the galactic community?

what about the end of me3 where [sp]we are given a view of the entire galaxy whilst we watch the mass relay network destroy itself. you'll notice that the charon relay (earth's relay) sends the "self destruct" signal to another relay very far away, which also sends the signal to several other relays, slowly spreading across the galaxy. if there were thousands of unexplored relays, we would see them detonate here but we dont.[/sp]

Maybe they just applied a 'muffled' effect to the audio initially? You know, like after a grenade goes off in most modern games and you get that muffled sound for a while... It's being used in more and more games and movies because it's so 'cinematic' or whatever. Then again, there were also some pretty fucked up sounds happening down on Earth anyway!

Really, really REALLY shitty production values? Depending on who you talk to, the end was either rushed into completion or just made as a quick tide-over before releasing more content. Either option (or other options I haven't explored) easily account for an innacurate representation of the relay network.
If they HAD shown thousands of tiny relays blowing up, it might have confused some people, so they probably thought about it for 3 or 4 seconds and went "Nah fuck it just keep it simple for our stupid customers".
