Mass Effect Megathread - Ah, yes, titles. We have dismissed that claim - Games

I'm not sure if I want the opportunity to play as a non-human for once.

[QUOTE=Darth_GW7;30708049]I'm not sure if I want the opportunity to play as a non-human for once.[/QUOTE] That would be rather nice. Go the way of DA:O. But I don't think Bioware has had the time to develop something like that for ME :frown:

[QUOTE=Arvuti;30707942][sp] I guess you will have some alliance marine with you in the squad in the first mission who becomes the new jenkins/wilson [/sp][/QUOTE] The [sp]first mission[/sp] and it's details are actually well known. 1. [sp]Shepard has been held for some period of time.[/sp] 2. [sp]The hearing is cut off by the Reapers[/sp] 3. [sp]Anderson is talking to Shepard right before the attack[/sp] (this is a relatively new piece of information) 4. [Sp]Shepard and Anderson fight their way to the Normandy, both reach it, but Anderson says that he wants to stay there, you can briefly debate him over that, but he won't change his mind[/sp] 5. Shepard enters the [sp]Normandy and Anderson an Alliance shuttle[/sp] Now, as to James Vega: [sp]He is seen during the trailer in the loading bay where all of the Alliance shuttles are evacuating civilians. His next apperance is aboard the Normandy, next to Ashley[/sp]

[QUOTE=guicool-BR-;30708277][img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7211550/Images/what_do_the_numbers_mean_mason.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] He kind of looks like Sheploo, with a bit of imagination.

[QUOTE=guicool-BR-;30708277][img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7211550/Images/what_do_the_numbers_mean_mason.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] he was working for the reapers the whole time, the council died because of him, it's all his fault.

[QUOTE=phaedon;30707917]Actually, no. It was later confirmed that [sp]Anderson stays on Earth, but he doesn't die. He hops on an Alliance shuttle, presumably to organize the human resistance.[/sp][/QUOTE] Part of me feels that [sp]Anderson's death[/sp] would be amazing and emotional if they pulled it off right.

Two Ardat Yakshi embrace eternity together, do both of them die or do both of them live?

I'm not a big fan of sad endings. I prefer the happy endings that the character had to earn and suffer greatly for and a lot of people died along the way [editline]25th June 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=WilhelmScreamer;30709193]Two Ardat Yakshi embrace eternity together, do both of them die or do both of them live?[/QUOTE] That is a very good question

[QUOTE=WilhelmScreamer;30709193]Two Ardat Yakshi embrace eternity together, do both of them die or do both of them live?[/QUOTE] They cause a singularity or the easier thing, they both die horribly [editline]26th June 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=MajorMattem;30709272]MEGA SINGULARITY[/QUOTE] HIVEMIND!

[QUOTE=WilhelmScreamer;30709193]Two Ardat Yakshi embrace eternity together, do both of them die or do both of them live?[/QUOTE] The stronger one lives, like what happens when two black holes collide with one another (the one with the more mass absorbs the other.)

[QUOTE=Canuhearmenow;30709326]The stronger one lives, like what happens when two black holes collide with one another (the one with the more mass absorbs the other.)[/QUOTE] Information taken from a reliable source, I'm sure

Wikipedia. Where else.

He's studied black holes up close and person. Which is why he is in our universe.

[QUOTE=WilhelmScreamer;30709193]Two Ardat Yakshi embrace eternity together, do both of them die or do both of them live?[/QUOTE] Embrace eternity is a stupid name and Liara is stupid for saying it. They are fucking. I don't have a lot of information about how that shit works but it'd either be the stronger one or the one to act first. More likely the one to act first given it's unlikely everything would be simultaneous and moving quickly would be chance or one of them knowing who the other is.

The reason for re-levelling in this game is that the prison warden confiscated your levels and exp. God knows whats he's doing with it now. And the bio screen will probably be you filling in your legal data for the trial.

[QUOTE=BreenIsALie;30697576]The elevators made the citadel feel Big. Same was it with the mako. The things you often did with it might have been boring, But it made the galaxy feel bigger then in ME2. Too bad we could not visit the Presidium in ME2. I missed that[/QUOTE] I love going to the Earth embassy, and peeking out and saying "I remember that place!" and being able to see The Conduit off in the distance...

Just because the number next to your name is lower does not mean you are less powerful. At the start of ME2, you are using equipment and powers that you were lucky to get near the end of ME1. You are better in ME2 even if it doesn't say you are the same level. At the start of ME2, you start at the equivalent of about a level 50 and work up higher, some overlap due to reconstruction having damaging effects. Level 30 in ME2 is more than level 60 in ME1, you were just returned to 1 to visualise progression in the current journey. In ME3, you will no doubt be about the same as you were at max in ME2 and get even better powers as you progress, it's just a superficial drop in level.

[QUOTE=MasterG;30710068]Yeah, I have no doubt that a level 1 me2 shepherd would beat the shit out of a level 50 me1 shepherd.[/QUOTE] Level 1 ME3 Shepard has an omniblade, your level 30 ME2 Shepard is invalid.

Ah yes, titties, we have dismissed that claim. Tell that to space prosti... I mean Ashley.

Still, you have to unlock powers in ME2 (even though it's just 1) and you're powers do get more "powerful", visibly so. I don't know how you can say the equipment is better in ME2 when there's nothing to compare it to, as in there's no control group equipment from ME1 to base that on. In ME2 and ME1 they give some sort of a measurement for your biotic powers. That doesn't really matter much, even though I'm pretty sure you start from square one in ME2. With that said, it would make sense for you to be slightly more powerful at the start of ME2 because it's 2 years in the future. Most people even argue that biotics were nerfed in ME2, I'd have to play again to confirm or deny that myself. To be honest, I could be wrong and all, but I don't see where you get the basis for much of what you've been saying.

Biotics weren't nerfed, they were just balanced. Sure, adepts tend to have a hard time at first on hardcore/insanity because both their powers and weapons are weak. However, if you can get through the first few levels, you quickly become a force to be reckoned with. Virtually every adept power incapacitates enemies for a period of time, an incredibly valuable ability to have on high difficulties.

I'd need to play both for a better comparison, the point being that ME1 level 50 shepard as an adept is not weaker than shepard in ME2 at level 1.

Everytime you link tvtropes I lose days of productivity and drown a kitten.

In that case...

Adepts are ok, but I never use powers so I'm playing as a soldier, and for my play style it makes things like 100 times better. [editline]25th June 2011[/editline] Like I haven't even died once. Not a huge accomplishment, but it's pretty cool when I would just use the pistol on everyone.
