I wouldn't buy KOTOR until the last day of the sale. Just sayin'. You'll kick yourself if you buy it now and then it goes on sale for like 99% off.

Cerberus reminds me of Section 31 from Star Trek, only Cerberus goes a lot farther to get what they want as far as I know. Also Cerberus seems to be common knowledge.

[QUOTE=tommo400;30827553]Cerberus don't hate aliens, they just think humans are better. And tbh in the mass effect universe they generally are.[/QUOTE] Agreed. Only the Asari really come close to being "eye candy" most of the alien species look like they havn't completely evolved from their planet's animal population. A lot of them are reptilians, amphibians and stuff, Humanoid Aliens FTL.

[QUOTE=Darth_GW7;30829266]I wouldn't buy KOTOR until the last day of the sale. Just sayin'. You'll kick yourself if you buy it now and then it goes on sale for like 99% off.[/QUOTE] It's £1.74 at the moment, can't see it getting much cheaper

[QUOTE=tommo400;30829374]It's £1.74 at the moment, can't see it getting much cheaper[/QUOTE] It is? scuse me

[QUOTE=keroba;30828960]very subtle there, FreakySoup[/QUOTE] I've been playing KOTOR 2 for the past week how the hell you miss a giant tank with a lightsaber at point blank range Obsidian only knows

[QUOTE=Tuskin;30829395]Who says mammals have to be the dominate forme of intelligent life?[/QUOTE] just look at salarians, though they are very fragile

[QUOTE=Dr.C;30827994]Borg aren't evil. To them, they're not doing anything wrong, what they're doing is right(to them)[/QUOTE] I think Star Trek ruined the Borg once they basically became the main villain for Voyager in every season, if not pretty much any episode with serious story development. They were amazing as the unstoppable machine race in The Next Generation, especially since everything we knew about them was bad news.

[QUOTE=Tuskin;30829395]Who says mammals have to be the dominate forme of intelligent life?[/QUOTE] Noone. But goddamn do we look superior and we have blondes, humans for life! Oh wow i'm becoming Ashley. You bring up an interesting discussion though. What would really happen if Humans did find some Humanoid aliens. I see society eventualy holding Humans as aesthetically the most beautiful. That or they'd see humans as being just as ugly as they are. Though Mass Effect doesn't really help that arguement. The Aliens who are promoted as being "Whores" or "Sexy" are the ones who look the most human which is the Asari.

So are humans. They only reason we don't look like other animals is because our lack of hair, which we don't have because we were too lazy to clean. But anyway, I want to see some diversity. Like Mordin is pretty much the only weird looking character, everyone else is so generic. Maybe some fat people, super skinny, pregnant, kids, that kind of stuff. Also I don't think there are any Asians are there? And like one black person. [editline]1st July 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Crylawsis;30829601]The Aliens who are promoted as being "Whores" or "Sexy" are the ones who look the most human which is the Asari.[/QUOTE] But all the races think the asari look more similar to them, Asari are just sexy, but not because they look most like humans, but because they look most like everything.

[QUOTE=Crylawsis;30829601]The Aliens who are promoted as being "Whores" or "Sexy" are the ones who look the most human which is the Asari.[/QUOTE] It's not how they look, it's how they act.

Are the bioware forums under ddos? 1min ago it shower a dialoge about heavy traffic and now its down.

It goes a lot deeper than just hair. Weve evolved completely from our animal populations. We have no tentacles, No claws, no gills, no tails (excluding some weird cases), No feline, insect, or reptile phenotypes or any of that. The closest animal comparable to us is the Ape and thats not like us either. Now if we looked like the characters from Planet of the apes it'd be a different story. The history of these planets in Mass Effect would have ofcourse been different from Earth's. Since the Humanoid aliens have the general shape of a human its clear they were evolving similiar to the way humans did. Who knows, these planets have different climates, maybe a species got killed, maybe a species migrated only Bioware knows.

[QUOTE=tommo400;30828673]So this is slightly off topic, but Knights of the Old Republic is on sale on Steam. Should I get it, being a big fan of Mass Effect?[/QUOTE] Buy it before I remember to forget to bother you about buying it. What.

Avatar fits.

[QUOTE=shatteredwindow;30830281]Avatar fits.[/QUOTE] What're you talking about? Bindo fits everything.

[QUOTE=Fables;30830266]Buy it before I remember to forget to bother you about buying it. What.[/QUOTE] Allow me to save you the trouble, as well as save myself the trouble of trying to make sense of that. I bought it. At the current rate it may finish downloading in about 3 weeks.

[QUOTE=tommo400;30830369]Allow me to save you the trouble, as well as save myself the trouble of trying to make sense of that. I bought it. At the current rate it may finish downloading in about 3 weeks.[/QUOTE] Worth the wait.

It's not on steam and it has a few glitches and it was rushed, but it's still an excellent game.

Nothing major, just some NWN accounts from the old servers. [editline]1st July 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=tommo400;30828673]So this is slightly off topic, but Knights of the Old Republic is on sale on Steam. Should I get it, being a big fan of Mass Effect?[/QUOTE] You should, considering that ME was largely inspired by it. The story and characters are really great, and I didn't have a problem with turn-based combat. I'd call it a nicely streamlined RPG for it's time, I personally spent more time in ME1's inventory than KOTOR's.

[QUOTE=phaedon;30830937]The artist made Joker look like Seth Green. Heh. [/QUOTE] Well Joker is based off of him.

I always play mainly Paragon, although I often do a Renegade interrupt (because they're awesome). I also ALWAYS side with my squadmates. I just watched a video of Tali's trail, done the "wrong" way. Man, that was so sad.

For Zaeed I picked renegade. More people would die in the long run if Vido survived. But otherwise I'm paragon. [editline]1st July 2011[/editline] Oh also I bet this theory has been made before, but what if in ME2 Shepard is actually dead? Like there are references to it too, like Afterlife, Eternity, Purgatory. Also, on Eternity on Illium, there is a Quarian who has like a vibrator or something built into her suit.

[QUOTE=shatteredwindow;30831735]For Zaeed I picked renegade. More people would die in the long run if Vido survived. But otherwise I'm paragon.[/QUOTE] I did that the first time, but I started to appreciate Zaeed later. [editline]1st July 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=shatteredwindow;30831735] Also, on Eternity on Illium, there is a Quarian who has like a vibrator or something built into her suit.[/QUOTE] Hot.

[QUOTE=shatteredwindow;30831735]For Zaeed I picked renegade. More people would die in the long run if Vido survived. But otherwise I'm paragon. [/QUOTE] Yeah same here. There's a few choices in the game that are treated as 'Renegade' but can be justified as paragon. I also always give the Krogan the fish. Fuck the paragon assholes that crush his dreams.

Yeah I mentioned that earlier, it's like lying about a gift you don't like, it harms no one and keeps them happy.
