Mass Effect Megathread - GAVORN'S TRICKS EDITION - Games

The author made Krogan seem way more massive than they are in the game. That krogan was described as being like 10 feet tall and an unstoppable supersoldier

[QUOTE=cheetahben;29763978]Is it me, or is Jack one of the more worthless squad members ever? Every time I bring her on a mission, I end up having to Unity her constantly.[/QUOTE] I didn't use her much, but she was really helpful with her shockwave against husks.

[QUOTE=Dr.C;29764772]The author made Krogan seem way more massive than they are in the game. That krogan was described as being like 10 feet tall and an unstoppable supersoldier[/QUOTE] Maybe unstoppable against normal humans, But not against Shepard & Co

[QUOTE=Dr.C;29764772]The author made Krogan seem way more massive than they are in the game. That krogan was described as being like 10 feet tall and an unstoppable supersoldier[/QUOTE] Well they should've been. Blame Poor game mechanics for having to make everything generally the same height

[QUOTE=thrawn2787;29765711]Well they should've been. Blame Poor game mechanics for having to make everything generally the same height[/QUOTE] Seriously, the krogan and turians could looka hell of a lot cooler with longer arms and were, generally, not bound to a human skeleton. Just look at their concept art.

[QUOTE=thrawn2787;29764651]Krogan biotics are awesome, there was one in revelation.[/QUOTE] And yet the only person he managed to kill was a nameless henchman.

Grunt is pretty Massive in the first cutscene when you remove him from his tank. He seems to shrink a bit after that though

[QUOTE=tommo400;29767382]Grunt is pretty Massive in the first cutscene when you remove him from his tank. He seems to shrink a bit after that though[/QUOTE] I think that was mostly a camera trick.

[QUOTE=Canuhearme?;29760565]W... Where'd I see [sp]Atlus[/sp] then... Could've sworn I saw it spelled (incorrectly apparently) in one of the earlier articles.[/QUOTE] yeah but it doesn't have huge breasts or missile breasts, so [sp]atlas[/sp] is probably correct.

[QUOTE=27X;29767926] hate to disappoint you but there's no vocaloid in skintight transparent "contact armor" or sword or fucktarded 80's Van Halen ripoff soundtrack.[/QUOTE] That is disappointing.

[QUOTE=tommo400;29767382]Grunt is pretty Massive in the first cutscene when you remove him from his tank. He seems to shrink a bit after that though[/QUOTE] He absorbed all that water like a sponge. Since you let him out he's starting to lose it. Soon he will be Volus size.

Just got the sequel and all I can say so far is: " I am commander wilhelm and this is my favorite RPG on steam." On a side note: [img]http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/541768102231382514/829A9549DADA90FE7CE178D2F5DBAE2C69338967/[/img] Mordin, what are you doing? We have a mission!

Piloting a robot seems fun.

[media]http://filesmelt.com/dl/wtf_garrus.jpg[/media] [editline]11th May 2011[/editline] i guess its a weird corner

50ft high robot, good ranged weapons, must have good mobility too, likely not take too many hits. 600ft Reaper, only using ranged weapons as too bulky to ram it, Thanix cannon used by reapers seems to give a small burst of light before firing, good for knowing when to get out of the way. Need to get through shields and then powerful armour, seems like it should already be damaged or you are not fighting it alone. Unless weaponry proves absurdly effective against Reaper as to make any organic ship armed with such weapons a threat to Reapers, must be some additional help.

[QUOTE=thrawn2787;29763579]Again I'm really hating their writers, can't wait to see what poor excuse there is for that. Even worse will be any dialog with love interests[/QUOTE] I have two theories for this. based off what you did with the collector base [sp]1. If you blew it up hes pissed[/sp] [sp]2. If you didn't blow it up, he got indoctrinated somehow... yeah I didn't think that through[/sp]

[QUOTE=Tuskin;29769757] [sp]2. If you didn't blow it up, he got indoctrinated somehow... yeah I didn't think that through[/sp][/QUOTE] Coming in contact with any reaper tech can mean indoctrination, so this is possible. Giving him a reaper run base has to be more dangerous than what the scientists in the 'Arrival DLC' were working on,[sp]and they went batshit crazy.[/sp]

Why isn't he indoctrinated? Your telling me TIM, who probably spends all his time in a glass bubble, so much as gets a Quark from a Reaper in his oxygen supply and he's indoctrinated?

Shepards contact with the Beacon has something to do with his resistance to the Reaper's indoctrination. He doesn't hear the voices or various things some that suffer from indoctrination hear/see. As for TIM if that were the case and he was indoctrinated he would had to have left his bunker, or had a piece of Reaper tech brought to him.

Also Shep hasn't spent much time around Reaper tech, a few hours in a Reaper, a day on an asteroid near a Reaper beacon, and a few hours on the Collector base. Almost nothing Reaper was in ME1, and the Citadel and Mass Relays don't indoctrinate (galactic civilisation couldn't form if they did). Sure Shepard's implants are probably based on Reaper tech but it's probably all human made, so no evil signals built in. TIM could be spending a LOT of time with Reaper tech for all we know. I doubt he spends all his time in that huge room, burning away his corneas.

Did he really? Is that from Evolution? Never got around to reading that.

[sp]A Reaper artifact or so we think. He was in indirect contact with it and it increased his physical and mental abilities without turning him into a husk. There could still be developments if he gets too close to Reaper artifacts again as he is already susceptible to their influence.[/sp]

[QUOTE=Ridge;29771366]But didn't they say it was like a shrine? Implying that it was built by others to honor the ship/being...[/QUOTE] It was built by the Heretic Geth to worship the Reaper Nazara, aka Sovereign. Wait what are we talking about here, the shrine on Feros is very different from the Dragon's Teeth the Collectors and Heretics got from the Reapers.

I'm referring to the derelict Reaper that you get the IFF from.

[QUOTE=Ridge;29771895]I'm referring to the derelict Reaper that you get the IFF from.[/QUOTE] Oh the Reaper indoctrinated the crew, then in their mindless state they were basically urged to get out the Dragon's Teeth and climb on them. The religious significance is because Reapers are megalomaniacal machines with God complexes.
