[QUOTE=Wiggles;26273171] Everyone shut up about the Tali fanboys otherwise I'm going to ask one of our new section mods to deal with it. It was a funny and rather disturbing discussion topic at first but now it's getting seriously fucking annoying.[/QUOTE] Talking about Tali isn't.. against the rules. Can't do anything about it as it's still related to ME. [editline]24th November 2010[/editline] Unless you start spamming untagged Tali porn everywhere.

[QUOTE=mercurius;26273527]Which adds realism, because you simply cannot carry around 20 assault rifles in your magic backpack. Randomly placed weapon lockers are not perfect though, but more believable.[/QUOTE] I say, the more traditional RPG elements that go away the better. ME2 managed to be a better RPG than ME through other means.

[editline]24th November 2010[/editline] Unless you start spamming untagged Tali porn everywhere.[/QUOTE] Surely it pretty much amounts to thread shitting now? The conversation ran it's course a while ago but people keep bringing it up to piss everyone else off.

I would call it threadshitting if you're deliberately bringing it up just to piss someone off, but that's different from actually discussing the character itself. Can't really put a ban on discussing one of the major characters of the game.

[QUOTE=phaedon;26273868]I say, the more traditional RPG elements that go away the better. ME2 managed to be a better RPG than ME through other means.[/QUOTE] ME2 was a lot less of an RPG than the original considering they ditched exploration and boiled down the stats and item management.

[QUOTE=Wiggles;26274030]ME2 was a lot less of an RPG than the original considering they ditched exploration and boiled down the stats and item management.[/QUOTE] Stats and item management don't make an RPG. More of the opposite. When are you playing as a role, when your accuracy is based on a stat or on your skill ? After all, stats in CRPGs originate from board games. They were actually needed back then (to board games and the first CRPGs) because there was no other way to play as your character.

I wonder how the Volus and Hanar eat. Quarians are just confusing.

Oh, well if you see anyone bitching about it then just report them and I'll take care of it. This is just a forewarning, I suppose. Let's keep the discussion on the game instead of the idiots who have creepy fetishes for it. [editline]24th November 2010[/editline] ...Says the creeper who's obsessed with Garrus.

Got a slight problem, I have some DLC I got from the Cerberus Network but I have clue how to access them. Anyone know where I can download them?

[QUOTE=Pascall;26260256]Garrus. Now.[/QUOTE] Gonna invest some "emone" for awhile before making it. Also might need to rank up for a 12th layer. Although the part I found hard the most is the top part of Garrus's head, unless I have to use a bunch of carrots again. Also people, remember what I said about different levels of mancers. Some that go too far, some don't. Also it's not just Tali who has a mancing issue... Speaking of hazmat/gasmask/gypsie/eastern euro/lextex/mascaras/buckets/what ever is the particular fetish.

Why do I always find people with a mask on them either awesome or cute? I mean look at The Pyro, the way people view IT. Or hell if you watch Combine Nation from LitfuseFilms, Lt.Tibbles viewed as a cute innocent officer. From the comic of Left 4 Dead, everyone loved the two soldiers, hell they even painfully mourn for their deaths.

That is actually pretty cool. [editline]25th November 2010[/editline] And I agree wholeheartedly. It's probably because we can imagine what they look like.

[QUOTE=BANNED USER;26274141]I wonder how the Volus and Hanar eat. Quarians are just confusing.[/QUOTE] There was a note on that in Ascension. Quarians have a spot on the bottom of their helmet's chin that they lock nutrient paste cans into. Volus probably have a similar thing. Hanar.... god knows how the hell they eat, I'm not sure they even have mouths. Hell, the only way they can communicate is bio-luminescence.

I seriously can't wait until ME3 so I'll just post a tribute to Nihlus, the most badass Turian next to Garrus: [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7856270/nhilus.jpg[/img]

Ah yes, 'councilors'. Assumed useful politicians, always confirming Shepard's discoveries. We have dismissed that.

Hey, anyone know the theme that is played when you're in Jack's room at the Teltin facility?
