I've always been curious as to what constitutes an easter egg. Considering there isn't that much effort to get that conversation with him.

Also, as usual, having FemShep do that conversation is loads funnier.

With that said, thermal clips gives me problems with RPing/fanfiction writing.

Forgive me, but could you elaborate a little as to which part? :)

I was pointing at the previous post, but you posted before I could click "post".  I figured people would know what I meant :P

Could have meant you like Bioware because it causes people to think on how to write about something in the universes they create. *shrug*

Also, I just got the cold shoulder from Ash in ME2. :(

I picked up the strat guide for this game, and it says your Rating actually does have an impact on the game.  Since it's ended the exact same for me every time, I might try my Engineer run with a very low rating.  Also, it says beating it with Game + reveals a secret Rating.  I'm a little skeptical but we'll see.

You mean EMS? Yeah, it does.

Oh hey, does this look familiar?



Anyone have this happen in a multiplayer game because everyone's too stupid about the turrets?

I most often play an an Infiltrator, so I find it pretty easy to take out turrets; tactical cloak up for the damage boost, followed by a sniper rifle round through the targeting lens. No muss, no fuss.

I usually stay back and hit them with my Concussive Shot then slice it with my assault rifle.

I've had pretty shit luck with my weapon drops, I always seem to end getting shotguns or SMGs, neither of which I use. Though thankfully I've also hit a few upgrades for my Mantis, so it's no too big a deal. I do wish I could get my hands on a Javelin though.

How's the fic coming, by the way? Just finished Chapter 14.

My drops are okay for the most part.

I'm working on Chapter 15. It was gonna be finished by tonight but the ending to the chapter seems anticlimactic to me. But it had to be anyways. Then 16 has some interrogations.

I have almost all shotguns and SMGs! Luckily I got some useful assaults and pistols (Geth pulse rifle 7 and carnifex 6). I still have only 2 snipers at lvl 2 and 1 - no luck there at all! But I can carry 5 of each medigels, survivals, missiles and ammo packs (which I never use though...).

Anyone else know about this tumbler? I found it funny.

This reminds me, I think I just realized something really awful. How old is Tali by ME2 and ME3? Because in ME1 she is going through her puberty ritual (she even mentions Grunt’s rite as puberty/a pilgrimage in ME2). Seriously close to space pedophilia.




Good old goons, they always put the best stuff:

What if there are like 100 Citadels in the Milky Way? The game straight-up says that the known Mass Effect Relay system covers less than 1% of the stars in the galaxy.

In this version, the Reapers are always reapin'. The Citadel isn't a relay to darkspace; it's a relay to the other Citadels. The Reapers activate them in order and come through as soon as they've finished the previous cycle; it takes about 50,000 years to finish a cycle. They were stalled when they discovered the Prothean sabotage; Sovereign had to slowboat it over when he encountered the Rachni. He indoctrinated them and hooked them into our relay network.

The Collector Base has dozens of relays nearby; it's a reaper hub of activity that leads to multiple reaper corridors.

Of course, this doesn't work with Arrival etc., but I think that it would have been an interesting direction for Bioware to have gone.

They wasted a perfectly good plot! Instead everything is a wasteland. :(

Despite knowing about indoctrination I thought it was a good idea to put a human Reaper near my office. Now I am a sentient husk :(.
