[QUOTE=MoarToast;26326911]Two weeks until I get to sit on my ass for an hour or two watching a horrible biased awards show that barely has anything to actually do with video games to see what will most likely be a 30 second tease of something that's not even Mass Effect-related :v:
Also, I really wonder how early on in the game Legion was originally intended to be gotten. I've been playing through ME2 with a modified save game and some of the lines recorded for Legion are actually kind of surprising.[/QUOTE]
He was supposed to be the first companion you'd be able to get, after Miranda and Jacob.
Still fucking pissed that Greenman actually [B]Permabanned[/B] Lankist, seriously. It was just his thing to screw around in the News Node. I've seen some [B]moderators[/B] fuck around worse than he did.
Lankist has been offered a return back though, if I'm not mistaken.
But I think he said that he didn't want to come back if he had to censor himself.

[QUOTE=LeonS;26338201]I never liked his comics.[/QUOTE]
Personally,I mostly liked his humour, not their artistic value. :v:
Not that they were badly drawn.
Finished my third play through. Soldier, entire squad survived, most of Normandy's crew didn't(Gabby, Chef, Chambers). Garrus still doing calibrations, likely to carry on for years. Told Tali I wanted a tit job from Miranda instead of a foot job from her velociraptor legs, and she was all "lol I have to clean up this engine". All in all, it's more successful than my first play through, but not nearly as successful as my second.
Not sure if people've read this thread, but it's a good read.

I didn't buy the food for Chef. Who would've thought?
I'm still torn on whether to keep or destroy the base. (I dont even remember which one I chose on my last playthrough)
Everyone acts like destroying the base is the best option, and I'm generally paragon, but seriously... That tech could really come in handy.
Except it's in the wrong hands.

Project Overlord spoilers
[quote][sp]Yet another Chekhov's Gun (and this really is one) and an indication that the Lazarus Project has rendered Shepard into something much more synthetic than when it started out:
Project: Overlord actually hacks Shepard.
Now... Overlord was not bad on its own. But how much better would it have been, after the mission, to have a scene something like the cabin scene at the end of Lair of the Shadow Broker, except that this one has Shepard spooked by the implications of what the hybrid VI did, and perhaps even discussing with EDI and/or Chakwas just how much of the cerebrospinal tissue and nerual pathways and audiovisual cortex that Cerberus put back together are now artificial?
This is really the biggest weakness in ME2's writing... they rarely get into the effects of the events upon the characters, and they never explore what the events mean to the characters outside of their individual loyalty missions. Which means, since Shepard has no "loyalty mission", we get nothing about the main character at all, at least until the end of Shadow Broker.
But anyway, back to my initial point. This could be a significant Chekhov's Gun for the series. It needs to be expanded upon and somehow factor into Shepard defeating the Reapers. I don't know how it could play into or influence the whole Prothean Beacon visions thing, but if it could be tied to that, too, it might make up for the total lack of those being even mentioned during ME2.[/sp][/quote]
Jesus shit, I just now realized it. [sp]Project: Overlord actually hacks Shepard.[/sp]
I'm... shocked, to say the least. Fuck...

i hope this has some bearing in ME3. like if you didnt buy the food morale goes down the shitter and everyone leaves.
[QUOTE=imadaman;26342823]Except it's in the wrong hands.[/QUOTE]
See, that's what everyone's trying to tell me, but who else has done anything to fight the reapers, or even acknowledge their existance? It's possible Cerberus could use the technology to further their own goals, but they'll at least work to destroy the reapers at all cost before that, which no one else is willing to do.
But, I decided to destroy the base, merely because ME3 is obviously going to treat this as the "good" choice and keeping it as the "bad" choice.
It's a very end justifies the means scenario though
I think that the only way to make choices morally ambiguous in a game is to not have a "good or evil" points system, because that basically just labels every character and action as good or bad.
It's not a good or evil meter, it's more like "Please everyone" and "Get the job done" meter

But yeah, TIM, the man who (Mass Effect: Retribution spoilers) [sp]Paul Grayson into the same thing Saren was (an avatar of the Old Machines) because Grayson rescued his daughter and sent her to the Quarians and quit from Cerberus. Of course TIM wanted to test the stuff, but mainly, he chose Grayson 'cause he wanted him to suffer.[/sp]

Eh, not really. The reason nobody discussed is that the VI hacks Shepard's omnitool, nothing else.
About no loyalty mission for Shepard, I disagree. Remember the Normandy Crash Site? It gives closure for the main character. What the loyalty missions does to your squad members? [b]Closure[/b] to issues they have. Even Jacob says the word. Bottom line, the Crash Site is Shepard's own loyalty mission, probably to remember what s/he fighting for.
Bottom bottom line, Overlord didn't hack Shepard.

Nah, the support crew dies anyway, let's not screw the pooch even more because we forgot to buy salt.
[sp]It quite clearly hacks Shepard itself, seeing as Shepards vision and movement are controlled[/sp]
Also the text in quotes isn't mine, hence the quotes.

Nope, it basically is a 'good' or 'dick' meter. A lot of the time, the renegade options involve doing dickheaded things just for the sake of being a douche.
