Mass Effect Megathread: Electronic Skills Still Too Low - Games

[QUOTE=G3rman;39883299]You might have already invited them up and the messages are coming late/aren't synced. Edit: Having a tough time choosing Tali or Miranda in my latest playthrough. On the one hand you have a space elf that is the cute little sister type, the other you have the 'perfect' human and awesome australian ermagod Yvonne character.[/QUOTE] Space elf? Not really. More like Space-Raptor-Gypsy.

Bought KOTOR II from the steam sale few days ago, played it for a bit and now I just feel like replaying the Mass Effect trilogy all over again.

[QUOTE=Skyward;39883327]Space elf? Not really. More like Space-Raptor-Gypsy.[/QUOTE] She is so space elf it isn't even funny. Though I agree on the gypsy part, though I feel somewhat racist making that connection.

who needs miranda romance when you have GARRUS ROMANCE

Love how Harbinger does absolutely fucking nothing while the Normandy extracts your squad at the end. I swear he just looks over like he's gonna go, "Sup."

[QUOTE=IrishBandit;39883517]Miranda romance doesn't really appear in ME3 without the Citadel DLC.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I know. It was pretty disappointing when she was the first playthrough I did with ME3's release. Edit: Fuck it, going Tali. I'm gonna treat my elf princess to a new homeworld and she is gonna love it. And we can get matching omni-tattoos!

It's just a tad cute to see that Liara is slightly taller than Shepard. [img]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/903242312890972931/4DD8283F06D424E3E1D03FD88C9D70F6331D0226/[/img]

Just finished mass effect 3 for the first time, played through the trilogy in a row over a week or two. i don't know why it took some heat, i thought it was a good game. I burst out laughing every time kai leng showed up though, he was like a character in a bad fanfiction written by a fat teenage girl (might not be far off from the truth) didn't help that he looked like a geek cosplaying. i also thought the ending was fine, i chose [sp]destroying the reapers (red ending)[/sp] and i was definitely satisfied, maybe extended cut is the reason i'm not complaining. Edit: Almost forgot the one other thing i didn't like about the writing besides kai leng, that little boy from the start of the game (mass effect 2 and 3 spoilers included) [sp]i was late to the suicide mission and watched kelly chambers die, really shook me up watching somebody die and knowing it was my fault, despite the fact that it was a game. and yet the writers forgo all the people i liked and couldn't save for the nightmare sequences and instead chooses a young kid i didn't care much about to be the one victim that haunts.[/sp]

[sp]Eating a person's cereal to spite them out of boredom while bugging their home? Sharpening a toothbrush and killing a novel-important character with it?[/sp] It's almost satire if they weren't trying to be so doom and gloom about him.

Seriously, have the person who died in Virmire be the one haunting you, or the people you failed to save haunt you in ME3, not some little kid. I would understand if it was Shepard's son or someone Shepard knew, but who the hell was that kid?

[QUOTE=Vallux;39881277]Mattock master race. Also, the suppressed M-11.[/QUOTE] I really like the automatic Mattock, and the Lancer is nice too.

[QUOTE=Whatsinaname;39879292]I like how they managed to make a combat arena that's actually fun to use, rather than the shitpile that was Pinnacle Station.[/QUOTE] pinnacle station, lol I totally forgot about that one

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;39885183]I really like the automatic Mattock, and the Lancer is nice too.[/QUOTE] The Harrier rocks. Definitely my favorite gun.

I just wish I could get a Harrier in multiplayer.

[QUOTE=yellowoboe;39883550]Love how Harbinger does absolutely fucking nothing while the Normandy extracts your squad at the end. I swear he just looks over like he's gonna go, "Sup."[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure he says "Serve Us" or something in robot clanking noises

[QUOTE=yellowoboe;39883550]Love how Harbinger does absolutely fucking nothing while the Normandy extracts your squad at the end. I swear he just looks over like he's gonna go, "Sup."[/QUOTE] Harbinger is a sucker for romantic goodbyes, he's really a die hard romantic at heart.

I was just thinking. What if all of the characters in the series had their gender flipped? Like Garrus, Wrex etc were girls, and Miranda and Liara and everyone were guys? As horrible as this sounds, I feel like most of the characters would lose their appeal. At least for me, half of their charm comes from their voice. Oh god, that would mean the Asari are all male. An all-male species that can mate with whatever it wants.

I can't get the bring down the sky dlc to install.

[QUOTE=Lexinator;39886423]I can't get the bring down the sky dlc to install.[/QUOTE] Try to install patch 1.01 and then this DLC

Is the Steam version unpatched?

[QUOTE=CorporalCupCake;39887232]Is the Steam version unpatched?[/QUOTE] Steam version should be the most up to date.

Tali would become Kal'Reegar and be a total bro, and I would romance the shit out of the fem Garrus.

I wonder if ME3 will pop to Steam now since all the DLC is out, like Crysis 2 did.
