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

[QUOTE=shatteredwindow;30831958]Yeah I mentioned that earlier, it's like lying about a gift you don't like, it harms no one and keeps them happy.[/QUOTE] But in this case you pay all your savings for said gift

[QUOTE=shatteredwindow;30831735]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] But then there's the renevant. We need to go deeper. MASSCEPTION

Hey do i have to be super good in order to be able to resolve the feud between Miranda & Jack? Jack was the only one who died in the end mission and i believe it was because i took Miranda's side on that one arguement. Legion & Tali had a similiar arguement but i was able to resolve theirs with a paragon option. Sadly i didn't have a paragon or renegade option with Miranda & Jack. Guess i was too in between allignments. Friggin sucks though, i liked the system a little better in Kotor where you could choose options based on skill points rather than having to be fully good or w/e.

Well even if they are not loyal, you can still get her to survive if you pick the right people, just don't give her any main roles, make Samara or Morinth the biotic person instead.

Last end game i had Miranda & Kasumi with me, Tali in vents, Garuss leading second group. They survived. Next was Monrinth on barrier with Kasumi & Legion. Miranda led the diversion, Jacob on escort, they survived. Jack didn't die until the very last battle. Kasumi & Miranda fought the last boss with me and both lived. After that it cut to a scene where the rest of the group was fighting and Jack was laying on the ground dead lol.

Love some of the conversation tidbits, forgotten how funny they could be. Shep: EDI, how long does it take to vent the cargo hold? EDI: 28 seconds. Miranda: what if there's a crew member in the cargo hold at the time? Shep: EDI, how big is the crew? EDI: there are 24 active crew members. Shep: :smug:

[QUOTE=27X;30833051]Yes, Balak. Harbinger may use him as a major domo to get on to Shepard directly.[/QUOTE] Might make for some sweet irony if you discover Balak caused even greater loss of life/damage if you let him go then killing him then and there over Terra Nova, I'd be hella disappointed if the only difference between letting him go and killing him is some mean words or a different boss battle.

[QUOTE=27X;30833051]Yes, Balak. Harbinger may use him as a major domo to get on to Shepard directly.[/QUOTE] Wait, there are batarian husks in ME3. Could that mean? Could Balak be some sort of boss like the Shadow Broker or Tela Vasir?

[QUOTE=Devodiere;30824430]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.[/QUOTE] The wording sort of implies that death was an intended outcome to their confrontation and said opportunity was missed, rather than death simply being a possibility that existed. I think it's probably Balak or someone like that. [editline]2nd July 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Crylawsis;30830159]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] I don't think you totally understand the concept of evolution. There is no 'end goal' in sight for a species. Evolution never really stops, and you [i]can't[/i] be 'more evolved' than another species. Evolution isn't some quantifiable substance. A successfully evolved species allows for it to survive; to remain alive for as long as is physically possible. Walking upright, being bipedal, having less/more body hair than another species does not constitute being 'more evolved'.

I think it's probably Balak or someone like that.[/QUOTE] Killing Wrex is the default option, you have to pass a speech check or something in order not to. They had guns at each others throats and more than enough chance to kill each other. It was Shepard's choice not to kill him and one that that line implies he will regret.

Pass a Charm/Intimidate check or do his personal mission [noparse][sp]retrieve the old family armor[/sp][/noparse]

Hell, correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Ashley jump the gun (literally as well as metaphorically) and shoot him dead if you don't have enough morality points and try paragoning your way out of it? If it is Wrex I'm guessing he'll only say that in the event that you side with the Salarians and choose to destroy the genophage cure (or something like that).

Ash doesn't come into it because unless she does kill him, she's not involved.

Hey guys, what class should I be in KOTOR?

One of the several reasons I had no compunctions after I found out I lost her at the AA tower. [quote] Batarians [/quote]Depends. If BW considers X57 inclusive, then they'll need to have primer dialog for those people who didn't have it, with an attendant result and Balak's info. Could be extremely nasty for those who picked a colonial upbringing, if BW decided to be "ruthless" about it, considering he/she still has family back home, and Balak will likely be Sarenized for your protection.

Since the alpha relay was in batarian space, does this mean that the reapers will be obliterating batarians first? if so...YES!!!

*sighs* You know you've been playing too much Mass Effect when you watch Galaxy Quest or the "Mrs. Puff, You're Fired" episode of Spongebob and all you can think is..."OMG IT'S ZAEED!"
