Mass Effect Megathread: He said "I should go." Do I sound like that?

I think it's equally as ridiculous to pull the, "My dad/friend/etc. works there," line and expect it to hold any merit. C'mon dude. Even if you did know somebody, it doesn't make you an expert on the development process. My sister is a lawyer, doesn't mean I know shit about her cases or anything about what she's doing.
Honestly I don't really think it matters that much in the end. 27X seems like a decent enough guy and to me, it doesn't seem like he is trying to make himself seem bigger or an authority, simply that he has more intimate knowledge from actually knowing people involved, I have no idea if he is telling the truth and quite honestly? I don't really care because its an internet forum about a stupid dead game series that died a joke.
I think its a valid point to bring up but honestly it can quickly spin this into something messy and obviously not mass effect related.

Considering you were the guy telling me Legion and Grunt were worthless, and two people let me look at his directly at his stats and damage values which affirmed my own opinion, I'll let you consider what kind of "card" you think this is, and that's the entire point. Your opinion doesn't outweigh access to direct processes, and you shouldn't expect it to.

Um, you got the wrong guy dude. I never said anything like that at all. Legion was one of my favorite characters to use.
It was either you or the other guy from the Love and Advice thread, y'all are the only ones I've seen use the Shepard-Spy AV.
[QUOTE=Loadingue;49083838]Don't be ridiculous, you should know that's not true. Look at all those decisions: saving or killing the Council, choosing the human ambassador, saving or killing the Rachni queen, destroying or salvaging the Collector base and the Geth station... In the end, they have the same result, with a different explanation. The Council ends up made up of 3 aliens and Udina in ME3, the Rachni queen appears in ME3 anyway, Cerberus salvages the Reaper larva anyway, and the Heretics just don't seem to matter at all.
I'm sorry, but there are many games that make decisions matter much better than Mass Effect.[/QUOTE]
I don't know what the current argument above is about, but here is my take on what you said. You are 100% right in saying that the consequences are the same in a lot of cases, but I think you stated exactly why you are wrong on the canon decision thing: "they have the same result, with a different explanation". Now I may be wrong, but I think what 27X is saying is that none of those decisions, of those different explanation, are set in stone as the game's canon. I mean, if we take the destroying or salvaging of the geth station, Cerberus still ends up with all their shit, but what Shepard did isn't said anywhere officially.
What I mean is that the destination doesn't mean there was no journey. Hope I was clear. By the way, I was going to make the example about the saving or killing of the queen but I remembered that there is a difference if you save her or not: she either makes loyal rachnis or the abomination kills a part of the human squad.
[QUOTE=27X;49086176]You didn't factually present anything, same in the DoW2 thread where your opinion somehow magically superceded the game's own data, and when you can get a an objective answer on a point from the horse's mouth, your fanciful re-interpretation means literally nothing other that "wouldn't it be cool if".
Someday you'll possibly figure that out.[/QUOTE]
I've never been in the DoW2 thread.

I see and I understand, and my opinion is [I]also[/I] that none of the decisions are set in stone in canon... my whole point was that some were still made more canon than others.
[QUOTE=misterv;49086001]I don't really understand the idea of canon. Do you need the sequel to acknowledge the choices you made in order for you to feel good about making them?
For example, atm I'm playing through the second KOTOR. In the first one, I killed Carth. Then he turns up for a cameo in the second one (5 years later). So canon states he survived, right? Wrong. I made him watch whilst me and Bastila ripped out his entrails. That's my canon[/QUOTE]
I've never played those games, but if I understand correctly, it really is canon for Carth to survive since he's in the second game. I mean, it can't get more clearer than that. Though obviously I couldn't judge adequately without knowing the full context.
Polite reminder that Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and its sequel both have an enstablished canon

Polite reminder that Mass Effect doesn't and the entire point of your choices carrying over is that there was no one path that is considered 'canon'.

You were in ITNN
Honestly I don't even think its worth caring about, not to sound all sappy or sentimental but only got so much time on this earth, I want to enjoy the game and not worry about it. Its good when a story actually fucking makes sense and follows itself but fuck it, stupid bullshit always seems par the course.
Beyond that, I don't think we got much to worry about anymore, I mean I'm going to assume ME:A will basically have almost no real ties to ME1-3 and thus anything "canon" really just so distant and mute.

This is it, by the way. We've reached the end of the road known as "debate the canon"
:v:
After I'm done replaying Bioshock Infinite, I'm going to replay Mass Effect 2
What worries me is that I'm going to play an adept. This is going to suck.
Not sure how long this has been the case, but Bioware are selling [URL="http://www.biowarestore.com/womens-fall-collection/tali-pattern-leggings.html"]Mass Effect[/URL] [URL="http://www.biowarestore.com/womens-fall-collection/tali-leggings.html"]themed[/URL] [URL="http://www.biowarestore.com/womens-fall-collection/commander-shepard-leggings.html"]leggings[/URL] for $60 each.

I thought $60 for their hoodies was a bit of a rip-off, but this is ridiculous.
It's just so wrong to picture Tali wearing boots like that.

OH GOD NO
That's the only person who felt comfortable showing their face while wearing those.
Just comes to show how durable the leggings are.
And now for something completely different.
What do people think of this? I find it to be pretty effective against everything and i just wonder if there is a better option? about to replay the entire series soon.

As a general rule, DLC weapons are better than their base game counterparts in every possible way
Define better option:
The tazemebro has an amazing headshot modifier, but for adepts and sentinels and non sniper soldiers the go to weapon is still the BPPunisher, 1000 DPS and innate armor piercing and 200% weight offset at level V, much less level X.
Also for exploder adepts and vguards the better choice is the Acolyte, cause you're not worrying about head shots to begin with, strip defense, power combo, charging gun in combo, next target, and this includes Elites and Bosses, while they added headshot mods to MP elites, SP elites still don't have them so the ridiculous modifier won't help you there.
and the executioner is heavy as shit but pretty much kills anything armored or unshielded in one headshot or even not a head shot, depending on how you have it modded.
Also you don't get the weapon you're showing until you do your first first geth mission so unless you're using a quest breaking mod, you're not even going to have access to it unless you're playing ng+ for quite a while, also the M11 does even more headshot damage, so if you're playing a strip engineer or infiltrator, basically one Drain/Overload and one headshot at V with heavy barrel and power + will kill anything short of a brute and like the Executioner, you don't have to charge it.
All that said it's still SP and SP is easy as shit except for like two missions, so you can pretty much carry whatever you want.
lazer tazer:
455d x 2.5, does equal damage to armor minus 25 CHARGE WEAPON
Exe:
1100d x 2.5, ""
m11:
423d X 4.0, the m11 does lose damage on armor, the headshot damage still applies so, yeah redonkulous
BPP:
398d x 2.5 x 600 rpm = 1200 damage and ignores all defense, stacks with high velocity barrel
[QUOTE=27X;49129088]Define better option:[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I had a feeling electrolyte was the better choice because it's just so damn useful in almost every situation. I don't really bother with any other weapons expect for the super electrolyte which is good against everything else.

she was probably one of the dragon age writers
None of that is new, also the transport thing is incorrect(as of now); the ark is both a hub and transport, other worlds friendly to you will also have the capacity to be permanent hubs.
Ryder's nemesis is also likely to be a placeholder.
The real question on my mind is whether or not Faunts will do the end credits music. I don't think anything can ever fit quite as well as M4 Pt 2 did, but a man can dream.

M4 pt II is just an amazing song in general really
God, I went back and replayed Mass Effect 2's suicide mission, just doing that reminded me of how much I loved ME2. I don't know if I have it in me to go back and play three though.
I liked the idea of the suicide mission, but once I figured out how to get everyone out alive, I never changed it up.

at least you weren't like me and had planned to do it so everyone made it out alive and then completely forgot and didn't actually realize you were on the suicide mission until it started, ended up with people i had no interest in keeping around.
rip garrus, thane, mordin and grunt.
I'm also replaying Mass Effect 2
I am an adept with Garrus and Kasumi as my henchmen
Althought I said this earlier, yes, playing as an adept in Mass Effect 2 sucks balls
i just finished replaying me2
man infiltrator is ez mode once you get the widow and the smg from kasumi's dlc
