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

It sure is, the latest devblog was posted yesterday. But they also hired me as their advertising agent, so yeah, they are pretty much doomed. :v:

[QUOTE=imadaman;26355217]They lost it because they started a war they [didn't know that they] couldn't win. [editline]28th November 2010[/editline] Indeed, the Geth are taking care of the Quarian planets, working to recover them from the Morning War for the time when Quarians come back.[/QUOTE] It could also be that the Geth in some way tries to make the galaxy better for some reason. Maybe they have some type of motives that us puny organics can understand. Maybe they try to repair what they destroyed. Don´t know how that relates to their terraforming projects though

Also in relation to the Geth discussion, Legion explains that the Geth who worship the Reapers (or Old Machines to them) are regarded as heretics.

Heh, filesmelt's servers chose the worst possible moment to crash. I'll let you know when they are back up again. EDIT: They are back up !

[QUOTE=WeekendWarrior;26356604]Also in relation to the Geth discussion, Legion explains that the Geth who worship the Reapers (or Old Machines to them) are regarded as heretics.[/QUOTE] On this note, has anybody noticed that the Geth might be developing personality? I mean, they are sentient, and the programs operating inside Legion were in conflict, showing differing opinions, which means each mobile platform may have it's own small "personality". I think the best example is when Shepard asks why Legion chose his/her N7 armor specifically for repairs, and he says "No data available."

I think if they have personality, they have no idea they actually HAVE it (if you know what I mean.) It would be like giving a man born deaf the ability to hear, then expecting him to be used to what he's hearing/explain the new sensation.

[QUOTE=Shibbey;26358246]Legion's loyalty mission in ME3: Teach him to feel love with Tali.[/QUOTE] Had to add that bit in :v:

So in ME3, We might find several Geth factions. Some loyal, some not. And i Daww´d at WeekendWarriors addition

It's plausible, since we already know that there are heretics.

[QUOTE=WeekendWarrior;26358346]It's plausible, since we already know that there are heretics.[/QUOTE] Even the concept of Heretics is indicative of a cultural revolution in the geth. A concept of religious sacrilege/secular defiance is something humanity developed in it's early days, but the geth probably never got to(because they're fucking robots). If that's happening, that's a symbol of a renaissance of the geth.

[editline]28th November 2010[/editline] shepard-commander, the hole you are attempting to access is inappropriate for this action.[/QUOTE] Going with heretic as a religious sacrilege is possible. When the Geth came in contact with Sovereign, He/she/it/00010110 could probably modify the Geth thoughtpatterns so that they considerd Sovereign as a god like entity. And then the heretic function would work.

You know, did Sovereign really reprogram the geth, or is it the only explanation they could come up with ? As Arachnidus said, this might be a cultural revolution of the geth, evidence of the existence and development of their personality. But the geth are not ready to accept this, they still think that they are just robots, that they don't have (to put it poetically) souls.

If it is indeed a cultural revolution, than the Quarian-Geth Conflict is about to get a whole lot trickier. It was much easier to justify the reclamation of the Quarian territories when the Geth were just pissed off robots, but if they're truly developing their own culture and society, then they are just as other sapient organisms, in which case, the Morning War wasn't a robot uprising, it was a slave rebellion. Which would make the annihilation of the Geth genocide, not clean up.

Both the geth and the quarians made mistakes. Oh and by the way, I have been at the MEC forums all afternoon, the amount of lurkers has been record breaking. 24 guests ? FPers I assume ?

Also I'm fairly sure that in ME3 we're going to have to [sp]Kill Admiral Xen because I'm pretty sure she's so batshit insane about hacking Geth she's going to basically singlehandedly almost spark off another Geth/Quarian war with her attempts to hack them. The other admirals at least seemed sane and their positions made sense, but she just wants to control the Geth and that spells bad news.[/sp] [editline]29th November 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=WeekendWarrior;26358266]Had to add that bit in :v:[/QUOTE] If Legion and Tali do it together, it's all good because he can be sterilized properly, being inorganic.

I don't think Legion is capable of understanding the concept of rape.

Shepard can teach him. :byodood:
