Lets do this shit.
Actually wait I have know idea how to start it.
[QUOTE=jackattack;29342147]Does tali have an Afro?[/QUOTE]
Jacob does since black characters in anime are massive walking stereotypes.
Miranda breaks every bra/shirt she wears in that case.

I'm okay with this...

[QUOTE=God of Ashes;29337200]so [sp]ashley and kaiden are spectres now?[/sp][/QUOTE]
I'm really happy for them and all, but after all this time I think Garrus deserves similar recognition
So, replaying Mass Effect 1 as a Sentinel, need to decide between the shotgun or assault rifle bonus talent..any suggestions?
Actually most of that article is complete fluff, especially the who's back section. Aside from the melee, enemy and mechanics info, there ain't much.
Shotgun + hammer rounds = win.

We already know Garrus is a badass. And he could have been a Spectre but didn't like the red tape. Neither of the VSs really seem like Spectre material though. Kaidan is a whiny pussy and Ashley is capable, but she doesn't really stand out in combat.

Jacob becomes Samuel L Jackson and is also a member of the black panthers
I wonder if the Geth can tinker with the virus that the Reapers gave the heretics to convert the regular Geth and use it AGAINST the Reapers. Maybe spark a civil war between the Reapers.
A fucking... Reaper Schism.

Also: I hope there's a way to appease both the Krogan AND the Salarians
My favourite individual character (that's not Shepard) is Wrex. But... the Krogan as a whole are a bunch of wankers, and, as a species, I like the Salarians a lot more.
... But Wrex :frown: I don't want Wrex to be against me... or dead (and if he becomes the former, he will most certainly become the latter). Wrex is my bro.
I am absolutely of the opinion that Garrus' introduction in [i]Mass Effect 3[/i] should be his Spectre initiation. Bluntly, it's a plot-thread that needs resolving; but on a more fan-based level, it's something that would be exceedingly cool to witness for long-time players.
Negative. ME3 should be opened as such.
A deep voice speaks over an absolutely black screen:
"... Shepard?"
There is a short pause before a reply is heard.
"Wrex!"

It sounds like they're going all out in Mass Effect 3, so I think you'll have to choose between either side (the decision will probably be whether to use the Genophage cure or not.)
So far it's Salarian vs. Krogan, Geth vs. Quarian, I wonder what the Turians and Asari are up to.
What about the Rachni? It could potentially be: Krogan vs Salarian vs Rachni.
I'm sure there WILL be ways to appease multiple sides, but... I'm guessing you'll have had to have made ALL of the right decisions.

I have a feeling the Rachni could come back to seriously bite you in the ass unless you do something special in ME3, since we've seen Rachni husks in the screens which would imply the Reapers found a Rachni Hive World, or maybe just a battlefield thing like Dragon's Teeth, it's all speculation at this point.
I'd like to see some Paragon choices come back to haunt you in the epilogue though, nothing out of the blue but something similar to choosing Harrowmont (the nice, good guy if you don't look into it) in Dragon Age is the single worst decision you can make for the Dwarves.
About the Salarians and the Krogan, I'm honestly not sure who'd I'd pick. Yes, Wrex would curtail their violent tendencies, for maybe a decade or so until they clans start to spill over, or even if that's not the case, Wrex is old and will most likely die within a century or so. To put it mildly, it will be the Krogan Rebellions all over again, only the Citadel Races will probably be exhausted (or even some endangered) from the Reaper invasion. On the flip side, the Krogan are idiots, and if you wanted to put Humanity as the dominant economic/scientific race in the galaxy you'd definitely want to get rid of the Salarians, but they seem to be (ironically) the most Human of the Council races, and if you manage to get the Asari and Turians out of the way they wouldn't be able to pose a tangible threat anyway.
what does Harrowmont do?
[QUOTE=doommarine23;29348025]what does Harrowmont do?[/QUOTE]
[sp]The only thing he accomplishes in the months he stays King of Orzammar is pass laws to further polarize the classes, halts surface trade, and when he dies shortly after being crowned an earthquake destroys the only surface exit to Orzammar.
If you talk to the common folk in Dust Town they really show you just how horrible and backwards the Caste System is, and if you talk to the merchant close to Dust Town he mentions that Bhelen wants to get rid of the Caste System, while Harrowmont tells you he wants to keep traditional Dwarven values.[/sp]
I doubt saving the Rachni would come back to hurt you in the long run. In the short term, yes (Reaper indoctrination). But Benezia forced her way into the Queens mind and what she learned from the Queen (as well as the location of the Mu relay) was that the Rachni try sealing off all entrances into their territory. They don't go out and aggressively colonise everywhere they can. They inhabit barren worlds (which are plentiful) and just sit around existing hoping not to be pestered by anyone else.
I doubt they'd start another war in future, but in the short term they could be turned against us.

1. Krogan lifespans are indefinite and Okeer was older than any Asari, check his bio.
2. Factions do not necessarily equal races and the GI article stated that outright. The 'Kesh fighting is between Salarians and Salarians, not Krogans and Salarians. The Krogans obviously have their own shit to deal with.

Yeah the problem is making sure the Queens don't get indoctrinated. It seems like a Rachni Queen would probably be far more susceptible to the effects of Indoctrination compared to the average human, given the similarities between their forms of communication (Sovereign was able to get the entire Rachni Empire indoctrinated [I]in orbit[/I], since I very much doubt he landed and scooped up the queens.)

I never played Dragon-age, but from that context, and comparing it to "paragon" or "renegade", electing Harrowmont doesn't seem very paragon

Yeah, that's the problem I foresee. Seeing as how any Rachni that's NOT a queen will blindly follow the Queen's orders... the second a Queen gets indoctrinated everything goes tits up for everyone.

On the flip side, Bhelen is a scheming bastard that murdered his brothers (or tries to, since the Dwarven Noble origin story has you be one of his brothers) and reportedly his father (the king) to get a shot at the throne. He calls for Harrowmont's execution mere seconds after becoming king, and at the end of the game you discover he dissolves the Dwarven senate entirely since all the nobles were out to kill him (because he got rid of the Caste system.)

I'm really, REALLY curious to see what they do with the Turians and Asari. We have the Geth/Quarian pair, and the Salarian/Krogan pair, maybe Turian/Asari?
Than that's neither really a "paragon" or "renegade" thing and is more of a "I'm an outsider who did the best I could at the time and these people put fate into their hands and I did nothing right nor wrong, just fate"
Maybe the Turians and Asari won't have some kind of fight or anything. Maybe you'll simply have to individually convince them to help you and not have to chose one over the other.
I reckon it'll be a LOT easier to 'recruit' the Turians and Asari if you saved the Destiny Ascension in ME1.
Turians and Asari have been thorns in both your hide, as well as Humanity's, since the first Mass Effect, I hope they're optional allies (they'll probably give you the ability to fuck them over after making them necessary allies, more likely.)
But having a mission where you primarily talk and flex your dialogue choice muscles would be a refreshing change of pace, actually.
