frick this game. But the music and atmosphere aboard the SR1 Normandy is top tier, it feels more oppressive and apocalyptic than anything they did in 2 and 3. But at the same time kinda cosy. Just knowing that really, even the ship itself, reliant on the mass relays, is part of the Reapers trap. And you're in it.
I'm almost sure that noveria is bugged on its checks for auto saves with how long the lab segment is and how it will always send you back to the mako if you die during it. No other mission in the game has such poor save points
Sarina took off her breasts and has to cake herself in makeup to even look remotely decent
Kalindra just doesn't have any social media presence, she hardly posts but is still pretty hot

Didn't Sarina also start to get pretty fricking fat for a while there?
I just looked her up and she's a lot thinner now than I remember but it looks like most of it was probably liposuction or something and sucking out all the implants and titty fat was probably an overreaction to realizing she was becoming a horker.

Yeah she was fat for a time but after she lost the weight she got rid of her breasts

Because NOONE cared about the jacob relationship. They mentioned that as to being one of the reasons why they gave him a character arc like that. Not only do people barely play femshep, but of those who did, almost none went for that romance. I think garus was the most popular. And kayden

I'll never understand many of the design choices in Mass Effect; why do all of that world-building to completely frick it by making thigh-high boots "armor"?
I used to love Mass Effect when I'd only played it a few times through, but now all I can see are those daft fricking things. And don't get me started on Liara being a completely useless Shadow Broker who is outclassed by toothbrush lesbo, somehow going through all three stages of asari growth in the span of two years, thermal clips or Kai fricking Leng.
Jesus Christ, did they shit their perfectly-made bed.
I shall not, it's a very stupid thing
Competent people would have designed combat around the cooling aspect, instead of turning it into just another Gears Of Walls
"We want the call of duty audience" was literally a quote in relation to mass effect anon. They sacrificed a cool and unique take on sci fi weapons and threw it in the trash for nothing. I will never stop seething
yeah, the thing about this is they even went out of their way to explain it in the lore. It was even a voiced audio log entry iirc. It all revolves around mass effect fields and chipping off ammunition from a block.
I always thought a better explanation would've been, that as a result of increasingly resilient hardsuits and combat shields, the volume of metal chipped off the ammunition block had needed to be increased, therefore soldiers increasingly carried extra blocks into battle with them, seeing them reload when they hadn't needed to before. They could even say it was a response to how easily the Geth attacked the Citadel. Like, they needed to up from 9mm to .45. The idea of a termal clip just made no sense to me. Even if they ejected a thermal clip, why not just keep it on you so you can reuse it later after its cooled down?
The main thing that ruined the series for me was the space battles though. There was clearly a great deal of thought put into the first games lore, how things would work, fleets, frigates, stealth, how coombat might play out in such an environment. All the ships, even background ones have very unique aesthetics. Then in subsequent games, it just becomes Star Wars. ME1 will always be the only Mass Effect game for me.
>completely frick it by making thigh-high boots "armor"?
call me crazy, but I always envisioned the armor suits in Mass Effect 1 to be like, similar to the Still Suits that they use in Dune. So you could operate in the field for a looong time in one, and it would take care of things like hydration and so on. If you see a marine, they are often wearing the suits even in informal environments.
But then there's the oxygen masks in space
Their eyes would be sucked from their skulls and their brains would boil
It's just a very strange aesthetic that doesn't make any sense, so I wonder what the point of world-building is if they're not going to be consistent
>oxygen masks in space
but every suit of armour in the original game is a full face covering that could work as a space helmet
I assume you are referring to things like pic related, but these only appear in ME2 onwards.

Well I suspect first, they had some cool looking concept art of it and decided to use that as the design. Artists probably never imagined it as a space helmet, just drawing cool stuff.
Other reason, they probably had complaints that all characters looked too similar in the original ME1. If you take Liara as a squad mate, she looks the same as Ashley in full armour. They probably wanted to make her look distinct for gameplay reasons. Again, because they wanted more "action gameplay" stuff than stuff that made sense.
I would go with Vanguard instead of Adept (Adrenaline Burst may allow you to use more biotic abilities than an Adept in certain situations), but still, this build is almost as based as it gets in the game.
that pic looks amazing, is that ME1? Looks way better quality than the copy I play, is it modded or something? Or is this legendary edition?
Also can someone clear this up for me, does the Genophage neuter the Krogan to an unsustainable level? Or does it just correct their birth rate to be sustainable. ME1 they seem to imply that the Krogan are being wiped out by the Genophage.
Probably modded LE.
The genophage is made so that their population will remain stable at low numbers. Mordin specifically says in ME2 that, while it cannot be allowed to grow weaker so they grow in numbers, it also can't be allowed to grow strong enough to wipe them out. His project to correct it had to consider both ways.
It's "sustainable" as a measure of harsh population control.

>green eyed pale ginger
Shit did everyone who made a femShep have the same idea that I did?
Shit, I was just trying to make my opposite after my maleShep run.
Why the FRICK did they even make weight affect Soldier in 3
Fricking shitty ass Andromeda did the class better by making the abilities run on power cells instead of cooldowns. Much better than playing 3's Soldier on insanity where you're just spamming the frick out of fire ammo concussion shot because the thing primes and detonates its own combo.
me and my friend used to meme all sorts of names for him from "what was his name again?" threads but all i remember now is beef something something
but yeah that's a good anon kek
Not like that.

Utterly hilarious.
Sounds to me like Femshep's badass too.
It's an accurate depiction of a military woman
Been in the army and none of them took Krogan dick.
They were pedophiles though.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE
but you are wrong
How do they get Krogan dick then?
Krogan?
Obligatory
>tfw never got /ss/ raped by military girl
Alright I'm done here bye.
Military "girls" are fricking disgusting.
almost as if it's men behind all the content
'loo is pure and for Jack only
More of Taligay myself but Jackgays are based in my book.
Liara only. No flings, no side hos.
A soldier needs to be loyal, Shepherd.

Shepard has like zero chemistry with her, Tali and Jack feel like they would be natural partners.
Love my Zerofu
However is there a mod that erasers the tattoos, but keeps the scars?

By whom? I played all three games and their characterization is pretty much the same.

I've instinctively saved every five mins during Noveria for the last decade due to that happening to me.

Is that Sarina Valentina?
I think that you brain might be fried
>I'll never frick prime Sarina
Feels bad
Still peak troony
Bailey Jay, Sarina Valentina and Kalindra-Chan were the only legitimate trannies
A shame what happened to Sarina/Kalindra, Bailey is still going strong

Then why is the Krogan race dying, or implied to be dying?
Probably because they're violent thugs who join mercenary bands and get themselves killed.
Uhhh purely socio-economic reasons
Only one in like one million pregnancies don't end in pregnancy. Also, Krogan women are rare so there isn't a lot of opportunity to breed,

Non-canon.
