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

[QUOTE=SouthParkMGT;30738470]All hail BioWare testers, for that incredible testing of Noveria.[/QUOTE] I think Noveria was probably the buggiest part of both Mass Effect games to date. I can't tell you how many times Shepard got stuck on the floor glowing pink after having been thrown by Benezia. Sometimes his body would stretch out to weird proportions while lying on the ground too. It was fucking bizarre.

Me and my squad stood still. We stood still [b]forever[/b]. [sp]because the goddamn elevator got stuck and wouldn't let me out [/sp]

I had a cool ride on top of the elevator in Noveria.

ME1 had such an ugly HUD. urgghh

Thankfully, ME2 isn't that buggy, except for the part where I float up magically to a ceiling and get stuck.

[QUOTE=ToXiCsoldier;30736871]That's why we all hope we can "air quote" him in ME3.[/QUOTE] "Shepard, we're gl-" "Hold on Councilor, remember when you dismissed the Reaper claim? After all that we went through?" "Look this isn't th-" "[i] Nyeh nyeh reapers nyeh nyeh dismissed it.[/i]" [QUOTE=shatteredwindow;30736000]Ah ok, I got frustrated and didn't beat the first ME until just this week actually, and it's cannon for [sp] the council to die[/sp] Also, a friend mentioned something about a separate co-op campaign for ME3, anyone have any info on that?[/QUOTE] My ass its canon. Also, I believe they dismissed the fuck out of that co-op/multiplayer business. [QUOTE=Sirdrone536;30737506]The council pretty much likes to have some sort of order, heck they have a track record of doing this[/QUOTE] What would people think if the Council was spouting doomsayings? They're politicians of the future: Keep a happy face, lie, and remain mostly out of public eye. But yes.

[QUOTE=shatteredwindow;30736000]Also, a friend mentioned something about a separate co-op campaign for ME3, anyone have any info on that?[/QUOTE] Last I heard nope.

[QUOTE=shatteredwindow;30735642]You should be able to import an ME2 save where Shepard dies, and you get a cut scene of the universe getting destroyed by Reapers. Also why aren't you a Spectre in ME2?[/QUOTE] You are still a Spectre, you were dead so they have to reactivate your status, which is why you're given the choices of: "It'd be an honour." "It's the fucking least you could do." "I don't want your shitty Spectre status. Cerberus 4 lyf!" [QUOTE=shatteredwindow;30736000]Ah ok, I got frustrated and didn't beat the first ME until just this week actually, and it's cannon for [sp] the council to die[/sp] [/QUOTE] The only canon is what happens in the players story. All the supplimental material is kept vague specifically so any story the make is canon with any playthrough. The default choices for ME2 are just designed to screw over those who didn't import (e.g. dead Wrex).

[editline]28th June 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Arvuti;30742222]THIS TAKES ME BACK[/QUOTE] He said to me, "this mission takes me back," at one point. I was screaming inside my head, "HOW?! HOW CAN THIS FUCKING MISSION TAKE YOU BACK?! HOW FREQUENTLY DO YOU MAKE A HABIT OF GOING ON SUICIDE MISSIONS TO THWART THE REAPERS THROUGH THE PROXY OF THE COLLECTORS?!"

[QUOTE=sltungle;30742250]Looks like Udina becoming the human representative on the council is gonna end up being canon, however.[/QUOTE] That's because Anderson resigns from whatever position he had in ME2 between games, so if you chose Anderson Udina is councellor because Anderson left, but if you chose Udina Anderson resigns from his post in the Alliance.

[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;30742296] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9-dLzzQuVM[/media][/QUOTE] Yeah I posted that a few pages back. Pretty much my favorite squad member.

Zaeed is pretty cool.

Shepard is an ass [img]http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lnfqvozW4v1qh5dico1_500.jpg[/img]

Neither of those two have cybernetic implants. Joker probably wouldn't survive having his entire skeleton reinforced with a synthetic weave. And Garrus's face is metallic not skin like Shepards.

[QUOTE=Arvuti;30728728]I would rather have a sad ending than a happy good everybody holding hands ending.[/QUOTE] How sad are we talking about? I'd rather not have an ending which makes all my effort to fight the Reapers and the entire MEverse to end in a sad and unsatisfying way.

An ending where decisions have weight is good, a downer ending for the sake of being sad is dumb as hell. Same thing where endings are just plain happy, deal with consequences but in an intelligent manner.

[QUOTE=Arvuti;30742222]THIS TAKES ME BACK[/QUOTE] I was the only one that survived.

[QUOTE=Dr.C;30742872]Shepard is an ass [img]http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lnfqvozW4v1qh5dico1_500.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] Wow I've heard someone say something about the scar thing, but not the first one, that's amazing.

i hope joker gets his bone issue fixed Mordin: No, No that would cause liver failure.

I seems like Cerberus has been helping Joker with his bones, as I highly doubt he was that mobile in ME1. In ME1, he made it sound as if his legs would break just getting up to use the restroom. Definitely wouldn't have been able to run around a ship, go up and down ladders, crawl through vents, or shoot a gun.

you are over analyzing it.

Welp, I just spent 90 bucks preordering the ME3 Collectors Edition.
