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

[QUOTE=shatteredwindow;30819717]Wow I just noticed that sprinting slows puts everything else into slo-mo. Also shut up Jacob don't talk about Thane like that. I think I might try infiltrator at some point, how does the sniper slowdown thing compare to adrenaline rush?[/QUOTE] Instead of using the ability with a hotkey, it activates automaticly when you zoom in with a sniper for about 5 seconds, then everything goes back and it has no cooldown time.

I don't get why Darth doesn't like Liara. I mean, it's because of her Shepard is alive again, right? And she becomes the most powerful information broker in the galaxy, how cool is that? And I don't get what makes her a "whore". In ME1 she said that she'd never done it before. And of course if a couple of maidens who wants to experience things as much as they can, dances in a bar or club, that makes every asari a stripping prostitute, don't it? Asari have justicars, commadoes, [b]A HOMEWORLD.[/b] What do the quarians have? A massive fleet, that's it. If there are any asari prostitutes at least you can have [b]PROPER[/b] sex with them. I don't hate any of the races in the ME Universe....... Except the vorcha, can't fucking stand those.

ugh, why do I even bother getting involved in this, let tvtropes handle the situation: [url]http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FanDumb[/url]

[QUOTE=God dammit;30822349]I don't hate any of the races in the ME Universe....... Except the vorcha, can't fucking stand those.[/QUOTE] ... what about the Reapers?

You know what I want? Chakwas as a squad mate. I don't know or care how they'd do it, but I want that. Even if its only for one mission.

[QUOTE=sltungle;30822867]... what about the Reapers?[/QUOTE] Them too........

oh, one other thing. While you've probably been over this before, am I the only one that doesn't hate Cerberus? sure they had some moral issues here and there, but they did what needed to be done. I'm a little confused as to why they go 'bad' in ME3, seeing as you can go right along with them all through ME2 if you want.

Doing experiments on other people just to 'further humanity's cause', relaying false info 'just to see, but it was worth the risk'. Bit ironic when Miranda told you, during the re-activating of Legion, to 'do it in the best interest of humanity, not your curiosity'. Yet you have the Illusive Man doing such, involving the derelict ship and IFF and shit. I don't hate them, they just aren't good at guiding the way to a better humanity. :colbert:

[QUOTE=sltungle;30822867]... what about the Reapers?[/QUOTE] Reapers are pretty cool, other than the fact that they want to destroy/enslave the entire galaxy.

would anyone else find it silly if they are truly bad and their killing spree has no higher meaning?

Hell, I just probably buy into whoever gives me my equipment. Never liked the alliance though, or the council for that matter.

even the borg are not that evil, they just snatch you and force you to join their collective [editline]1st July 2011[/editline] my merge :frown:

I just don't care much for liars, and Cerberus is deliciously full of them.

It's like having only one seat left at a table at lunch time, and it's next to the guy who makes your life hell.

[QUOTE=keroba;30823030]would anyone else find it silly if they are truly bad and their killing spree has no higher meaning?[/QUOTE] Yeah, but while it would be bad if they have no purpose, it would be worse if they had a [b]bullshit[/b] purpose. Bt it would be cool with me I'd they had like an original purpose that got corrupted or so over time Also, over 800 posts in like 4 days. I sleep in a Forrest fr 4 days and you go mental :v:

[QUOTE=Arvuti;30823009]Reapers are pretty cool, other than the fact that they want to destroy/enslave the entire galaxy.[/QUOTE] Their voices...... Awesome.

[QUOTE=Irespawnoften;30822917]You know what I want? Chakwas as a squad mate. I don't know or care how they'd do it, but I want that. Even if its only for one mission.[/QUOTE] She's a doctor, and not a badass ex spec ops doctor like Mordin. Can't see her fairing too well in combat

I can imagine her in a Joker'esque mission, but I don't want the Normandy to get raided again

Cerberus is criminally inept. They've killed more of their own people than anybody else. If 2 Cerberus operatives had to change a tire on a car, one guy would get impaled on the lug wrench and the other would drown in gasoline.

[QUOTE]@patsquinade Patrick Weekes "Shepard. You should have killed me when you had the chance." Words every [B]ME1[/B] importer wants to hear. [/QUOTE] who says that? as it's related to ME1 maybe Kaidan, Ash, Wrex, someone from the council?

[QUOTE=Crylawsis;30824089]I wish you could join them permanantly.

Wrex obviously. Use of Shepard, talking about death so freely, not being troubled by a betrayal, Wrex likely to be at a major choice where you may fight him, and the ME1 importer hint being that non-ME1 imported saves have Wrex dead.

When i think about it had this happened in reality i would have the same ideals. Besides if it wasn't for them Shepard and his whole mission would have never happened. You'd rather depend on the Concil, Alliance, and that corrupt politician on the Citadel? They had them chasing Geth. Not to mention how much shit you had to go through just to prove to the Concil of the threat in the first Mass Effect. The Elusive man actualy makes a lot of sense. The society they live in? you don't want some liberal leading you. You need Cerberus someone who gets the job done. They may have a few divisions that go bad but c'mon when you supply science nerds with all the resources they could imagine how many wouldn't go bad? You also can't imagine some of the things the Elusive man is aware of. All that knowledge? its understandable why he is the way he is. He reminds me a lot of our leaders in the western world espeacialy in the past.

Then we preform brutal experiments on you such as using battery acid as a skin lotion, injecting- let's call it "experimental body performance enhancer" and so on just to see what happens. Then we lock you in another room along with a wild animal or two and see how long you can hold out. After that we dump you onto a planet you've never been in before when the session's finished. If that doesn't make us bad then... Well...
