Mass Effect 3

[ThunderWulf]

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

Gawd, yes.  If I'm playing my soldier, I usually use adrenaline rush and just blast the thing.  Usually seems to work pretty well.

Also, apparently there are some people out there who don't like Femshep simply because she's "too manly" and "not feminine enough".  What part of Shepard is FIGHTING A WAR don't these people get?

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.

The Mass Effect wikia is something you really should wander through once in a while, it has most birthdays for the characters. Or hell, even check the codexes (I have spent ages looking through the codexes in all 3 games simply so I know what the hell I'm saying/doing in fanfiction and the game). As it is, Tali was born in 2161. Shepard was born in 2154. 7 years difference (that would put Tali at being 22 at the start of the trilogy. Considering the lifespans, Tali is legal even in ME1). Garrus is a little bit older than Shepard, even if he does seem to be younger. We don't have a firm date of birth for him, tho.

Grunt himself is a special case being tank-bred. Being grown in a tank, cloned, etc., really throws off relative ages.

I suppose that's because of the default Shepard but she really doesn't look too manly. My Shepard on the other hand does. But, people will be people and bitch about FemShep until the cows come home even though she's entirely optional.

Lol really? Did they just outright ignore the entirety of Renegade anything in favor of a gender stereotype? That is just sad.

Good luck with that, you will probably do a better job than Bioware. Are you going to include Dark Energy? After all, someone has to adopt that unfortunate, abandoned plot thread.

I assume you have already acquired a copy of The Final Hours Of Mass Effect 3?

I was given the impression that Tali was younger than twenty something years of age, late teens maybe. Good thing that was an erroneous impression.

Not my fault (nor Bioware's) people don't like to read the codexes much less anything else. The evidence is all around, people just have the attention span of a goldfish. ("Ugh, I hate reading. Why must there be so many words? Fuck that! I'll just make up what I want to as I go along!")

Also, I'm already 15 chapters in my fic and I have no intention of mentioning Dark Energy because I don't need to. I also don't know about 'doing a better job than Bioware' since I'm taking what they gave me in the first place and not even fixing anything really; it's Post-ME3 w/ Indoctrination Theory but I twisted it up to make it my own view.

I also don't need to acquire anything extra. It would just sully the story I have planned out already. I have all the plot points written out. I just need to flesh everything out and slap it up.

I really wish you'd knock off all the spite towards Bioware as a whole as well as specific members of the development team.

Replace people with Bioware and this statement becomes even more accurate.

You paid attention to their codexes, Bioware did not. Thus you will do a better job.

They deserve that spite, every last quantum of it.

• They knowingly defenestrated everything thematic and plot wise from ME1, ME2 and most of ME3.
• Only to then top that by doubling down on the derp via “artistic integrity” and attempting to salvage Casey Hudson’s reputation via chapters of The Final Hours of Mass Effect 3.
• Keep in mind that the terrible ending was Casey’s brain fart and not the other writers (sans Walters).
• Where was the opposition from Mac Walters, he was working with Casey and opposed him before!
• The best part? No change to the horrible ending, it gets “explained”!

Do not even try to say "But the extended cut is free", because it was not intended to be!

The sooner it is realized that Bioware has gone vastly downhill the sooner heads will roll.

Yeah, okay. But you're gonna give yourself an ulcer. Not my problem tho.

As they say, still the very model of a Mass Effect enthusiast and haters gonna hate.

I'll be over here joining this turian because my blood pressure is in control and I'm not trying to dig for reasons  to hate something/someone:

If she's through puberty, it's not pedophilia.

I think The Illusive Man is doing his damn best to channel the still-living spirit of Mabus.

Too coherent, though.

I'm currently going for the worst ending with my engineer, and man, it seems harder than going for a regular one!  I keep having to ignore people and keep myself from exploring.  I need to just complete main missions and those others that give me items that I want.  I need a Rating of 1750 or lower and I'm already at 1400 after hitting the Geth Dreadnought.

Yeah, it did seem kinda hard to fuck up. Almost all of the decent point scores are tied to the main missions.

[Shane for Wax]

It's pretty damn hard, especially if you imported.

No, I think people are just mad that FemShep isn't feminine enough because her armor doesn't show off her tits.

Also I really don't think Bioware screwing up ME3s ending is the most unforgivable thing in the world.

Yeah, I think after I finish my Engineer run, I'll do an Infiltrator run, starting at ME 3 with no imports.  It's be a challenge since I'm so used to starting at level 30 but it might be fun.  I just need to decide if I want a sniper (long range) or ninja (close range and melee) character.

Doing no imports suuuucked tho. It was so bland. i tried it and instantly went back to my other Shep.

[Vypernight]

It's been pretty slow thus far.  I just got Garrus and I think I'm L 7 or something.  Still, Cloak + Melee is fun when I'm quick enough to pull it off.  I just need to speed up my cooldown and find a decent gun to use.
