Mass Effect Megathread - This one doesn't have time for your solid waste excretions! - Games

I don't get it. I'm assuming it's from the novels?

....Not that I know of. Oh and I simply can't wait to get a decent TV for christmas. Simply can't stand playing ME2 on my simple, non-HD TV. Damn text is too tiny. Then I get to start working on those... 7 other playthroughs. Best part, I plan on screwing everybody with someone at least once. Oh god that includes Jacob. Help.

The console version of Mass Effect 2 on a nice HDTV is godlike. The original Mass Effect, though? Stick to a standard definition, seriously.

I'm level 35, and I only have Ilos and Feros left. I probably won't be able to hit 50 before I get to the end. :saddowns:

The sidequests in ME1 are great. I love the one where you find rachni on that planet and only 3 marines are left alive

[QUOTE=Dr.C;25886495]The sidequests in ME1 are great. I love the one where you find rachni on that planet and only 3 marines are left alive[/QUOTE] my favorite was definitely "I Remember Me". was really cute.

[QUOTE=Guy Mannly;25886631]my favorite was definitely "I Remember Me". was really cute.[/QUOTE] Poor girl, if you were at Mindoir. What about that quest when you talk to Shepard's mother(Captain Hannah Shepard, would have called her Helen Shepard)?

[QUOTE=ForcedDj;25886990]What about that quest when you talk to Shepard's mother(Captain Hannah Shepard, would have called her Helen Shepard)?[/QUOTE] That mission has the most awkward start ever, since the guy you have to talk to is in the most useless and unnoticable hallway ever.

[QUOTE=croguy;25888200]That mission has the most awkward start ever, since the guy you have to talk to is in the most useless and unnoticable hallway ever.[/QUOTE] Yeah, really. I didn't even know about that hallway until my second playthrough. Kind of like the bathroom in the Captain's Cabin in Mass Effect 2.

[QUOTE=cowsaysoink;25888418]Yeah, really. I didn't even know about that hallway until my second playthrough. Kind of like the bathroom in the Captain's Cabin in Mass Effect 2.[/QUOTE] I didn't even knew that Shepard had a room on the original Normandy until I romanced Liara.

I didn't know you could meet up with his mother. Is this DLC or?

[QUOTE=LeonS;25888646]I didn't know you could meet up with his mother. Is this DLC or?[/QUOTE] Spacer origins only mission.

Obviously, Shepard's parents are dead for every other option.

[QUOTE=cowsaysoink;25888418]Yeah, really. I didn't even know about that hallway until my second playthrough. Kind of like the bathroom in the Captain's Cabin in Mass Effect 2.[/QUOTE] There's a bathroom in the captains cabin? :geno:

I didn't know till 17 hours in.

I didn't know until I read it in the last thread, and even then I had trouble finding it.

[QUOTE=Dr.C;25886495]The sidequests in ME1 are great. I love the one where you find rachni on that planet and only 3 marines are left alive[/QUOTE] I love the one where you drive around on a jagged barren rock and go into a couple of buildings with the exact same interior and fight the exact same enemies just to be given a paragraph long piece of text before heading back to the Normandy. Wait.

:golfclap:

I didn't find out 'til 8th or 9th playthrough :blush:

I didn't find the bathroom until I completed the main story. :toot:

Poor Shepard had to hold it in the entire game :saddowns:

He doesn't even eat cos he's the goddamn Commander Shepard.

He ate the delicious calamari gumbo.

What the fuck is "gumbo" anyway?

Eh, some Deep South thing iirc

[QUOTE=DiscoInferno;25891959]What the fuck is "gumbo" anyway?[/QUOTE] It's delicious, that's what. Thick hearty stock, meat/shrimp, rice, and the "holy trinity" as the South calls it (specifically, celery, bell peppers, and onions.) If there's one thing The South can do right, it's make delicious food, I highly recommend trying it at least once.

So very annoying that I hate the taste.
