>I'll romance someone else this ti- >DAMN IT

I'm also trans btw, but that has NOTHING to do with it. I just don't like the voice actor!

why did you reply to your own post?

"Fine" is a good way of putting it. It's pretty uneven but there are enough actually great moments + fun combat to carry it through. Until the lame ass final mission and mediocre post-DLC ending.

But enough about Mass Effect 2

>implying
Anon, please explain why the humans held off the Reapers for far longer then the Asari and Turian homeworld despite being hit before them and having weaker military might.

It was shit from the get go.

>held off
Anon, Earth is full on Terminator future while Shepard is away banging aliens. I wouldn't say they "held them off"

But Quarians can't get pregnant with human babies.

why not. They defeated death before. At this point they could fly around in space with no suit like Leia with the bullshit that ME2 pulled

>betray your species
That's pretty much making a new species, all things considered, which puts one at odds with both.

Both are fixable.
Various complaints from ruling elites about playing with life, breaking laws on genetics and running ethically questionable experiments, less so.

>crust
Hey, wanna know what do you get when a bunch of sapients get into a planetary crust and get nicely cooked by a relativistic stream of molten metal?
A crust-acean.

I'd post Carlos, but no images, so just imagine him.

I hung out with every other crew member, did everything with them, and distinctly remember how you're rewarded with their power after doing everything with them. I remember liking the black guy's power the most since it gave you massive shielding.

I only interacted with Miranda a few times. I think that's how it happened. I think she looks ugly and didn't like how she carried herself as being the hottest chick in the galaxy. I just didn't even want to see her face.

During the final mission, everybody was there and they did their part, but Miranda died.

Make the ship upgrades.
All of them.

You're a sensitive soul, anon.
The upgrades come out later.

You'd have to be incredibly stupid to let any of them die. Just do the ship upgrades and all of their loyalty missions, it couldn't be more obvious which of them you're supposed to pick for which role during the end.

>Loyalty mission
>ship upgrades
>pick the right role for them

No. You have biotic and engineer specialists for those tasks.
But Jacob should absolutely lead the Fire Team.

Believe whatever the frick you want, anon.

That is an irrelevant statistic.

Anon, Farquad doesn't care.
He doesn't even understand that you shouldn't care about how popular your waifu is.
Mine is Jack and is the least popular in the entire franchise. Even Kelly had a better percentage.

Fantastic.

>yeah because she's an ugly dyke
Miranda

>I'm so glad that ME is one of the only franchises where everyone respects each other's waifu choices.
[...]
Well. Almost everyone.

shaved heads are not attractive on women. maybe if her breasts were bigger and she had more hair.

The only way you can be hot without hair as a women is if you're an alien with big breasts and a cool skin color like blue or green, but asari headthings look close enough to hair anyway

Also, short hair are the ultimate beauty test. If your waifu looks good with short hair, she's trully gorgeous.

Gotta love how the devs wanted the reveal that Jack is a girl be a shock which is why nothing from the intro to the Codex to the prison inmates show her image or refer to her as 'she'... then the marketing trailer spoils it anyway

>I'm not gonna ask my girlfriend to shave her head to find out though
Shaving your hand is pretty easy and innocuous, though.

A fellow man of refined tastes.

Miranda has big fricking breasts, she wins by default in that contest.

I FRICKING LOVE BIG FAT TIDDIES ON WOMEN AND I'M NOT GOING TO PRETEND THAT I DON'T

IF THERE ISN'T AT LEAST A SLIGHT RISK OF ME SUFFOCATING IN THEM FROM A HUG I'M NOT INTERESTED

>Mine is Jack
impeccable taste

The three least likely to survive are the first ones to go if you don't pick the right people for the final fight

I'll be right here.

She's too good for this franchise.

>nipple hanging out
based

>MarvelousBrilliantBarasingha-mobile

Holy cope. Don't get mad at him because your waifu likes the british broadcasting corporation

>Pick the destroy ending, reference the reapers in the first 5 minutes and have everyone go "oh yeah, that happened" and then never mention it ever again. Never bring back any characters at all and scale down the story to focus more on smaller scale conflicts.
This game will be releasing, I wager, around 2030. For it being 18 years since ...
Jesus fricking Christ, I really hope they axe it.
For it being 18 years since the last time the franchise was relevant, this game will sell 5 copies.
I understand how you mean it, but this will likely have a budget in the neighborhood of ~$350 million. If costs haven't ballooned further, by then. How do you even sell this game enough to break even?

Pic related.

Liara will be back as a mentor figure because the only way to have her dead in the OT is reaching Earth with the lowest EMS possible then use her for the Conduit run. People that think Shepard and co. will be back are morons, BioWare won't deal with the myriad ramifications they should keep in mind if making Shepard the MC again. His battle is done, let him rest.

I don't think ME died with 3, especially not now after a decade and millions of people playing the trilogy for the first time without a decade of seething thanks to streamers and the LE. If anything Mass Effect as an IP it's in a better place than it's ever been since 2012: long enough removed from 3 and Andromeda and after the good will of the Legendary Edition for normies. The problem is that BioWare as a studio doesn't exist anymore, all the old guard are gone. Even ME3, if you read the interviews most of the blame falls on EA and the moronicly short dev time they forced on the team which made them have to play musical chairs with Javik and the Virmire Survivor and the ending and plenty other things because the game was made with about as much dev time as New Vegas but with the expectations of carrying over savefile transfer choices of two previous games (and let's be honest, after ME2 barely did anything with choices from 1).

TLDR Mass Effect goodwill is at an all-time high especially by normies but they'll frick it up anyways

>TLDR Mass Effect goodwill is at an all-time high especially by normies but they'll frick it up anyways
It sold around 2.5 million copies in a year. It basically sold the first week, and then it died. It was flavour of the month. It doesn't have the following you think it does. And Dragon Age has 1/3 of that.

Make it take place at most 50 years post-High EMS Destroy and leave the rebuilding of the galaxy as background sidequests and Codex entries. Have the main plot be low stakes, simple KOTOR/ME1-style pacing.

Same as above.

Bioware should really stop with the whole N7 shit in their marketing in Mass Effect. They pushed it in Andromeda before release to fool people into thinking Shepard's involved in some way and look how that game turned out. Now they're doing it again with ME4 into making people believe Shepard's coming back

I agree. This is going to backfire hard. They should have come out and said it, the moment the "speculation" about Shepard returning broke. Now it's too late. I expect when Bioware announces the new protagonist and crew, there will be a controversy for a week, people will forget about it, it will sell well for the first week and then it will die. That is my expectation.

How much got cut for the civil war?

Off the top of my head
>Was more dynamic, you'd pick which hold to conquer next
>You'd have to do more missions with each hold before you could take the city
>More variety in said mission, stuff like raiding a town to kill legion soldier stationed there, sabotage resources like mines or mills, break a fellow imperial/stormcloak out of an enemies jail
>Instead of just whiterun and solitude/windhelm having a siege, every hold would end in a siege battle
>Enemy would attempt to retake holds, again you could actually lose those fights (and iirc outright lose the war) and you'd have to retreat and escape the city before it fell

I'm going to leave it at that to not detract from the thread since it's about a different game.

I mean the ps3 is also why New Vegas strip had to be divided into 3 areas with piles of junk acting as loading barriers, it couldn't handle it as one long strip.
I will admit I'm curious about Starfield since Bethesda apparently overhauled Creation Engine quite a bit and of the people I know who played 76 said it fixed some issues that have lingered in their games for quite a while.

They like proper good or bad endings.

>I don't believe there is anything this franchise has to offer
More smudboy videos?

Sounds to me like you've been wearing horse blinders since 2012

My counter argument is that you've posted the same thing in threads for months and you're somehow too ESL and butthurt from ME3 to understand people discuss the idea that ME as a universe is easy to save, not that the devs in charge of it are going to do it. You're obsessed with numbers and dates when they mean jackshit, it's as if you're the one looking forward to the next game the most out of everyone ITT

I rest my case

Why are you bringing up the Cyberscam gay autist outta nowhere. Actually nevermind I don't want to know, (You)

Anon, it's literally the exact same game. You're making it sound like they changed it into ME3 combat or something, they didn't. They changed the UI but it's literally the same 2007 game just uglier. It's like GTA Definitive Edition

>but I just find it silly to hedge your bets on one Krogan who's already up there in years as is.
Reminder that there's actually no canon example of a krogan who died of old age. Okeer was like 2000+ and still was going to get recruited by Cerberus to be Shepard's squadmate.
>inb4 Andromeda says Drack is getting old
Not canon.

Wrex being around is literally the only reason to ever even think of it, because he is at least clearly able to get some number of Krogan to his way of thinking. Also pretty much every Female is on his side too. In truth, Wrex or anyone doesn't really have to tard wrangle them forever, just long enough that they don't die out. the Krogan were uplifted way too early, and now they're starting to see that they need to get on the fricking raft or they'll all die out.

They are a threat. With the Krogan cured (or not I'm guessing most people cured it) it'll only end up in civil war between Wrexists and Traditionalists. It was a irresponsible act to allow them to live in a slow drawn out death, their society crumbled, their entire mindset changed to apathy or intense rage, and most even seeing the act of reproduction as completetly useless.
