Male vanguard shepherd with Wrex and Tali is objectively the best team combination you can have in the game, plus your combat/biotics/tech is perfectly balanced.
>Tali
No thanks bro
>Adept Shepard
>Liara for the biotics
>Kaidan for the biotics and tech
Stunlock all enemies
This.
I basically max out shotguns for my vanguard and Tali/Wrex.
Then buy specter shotguns for all 3.
are you me? and i only started ME with legendary and ofc i marathoned
Vanguard is the undisputed Chad class in mass effect and it’s not even close.
If you didn't miss on purpose, you don't have a soul.
literal actual woman detected
post breasts
Garrus would immediately guess I was patronizing him
t. Infiltrator
Garrus is my brother, my equal. I'm not there to suck his dick
>Garrus is my brother, my equal
You never let your younger brother win at Mario Kart to build up his confidence?
you don't have a brother do you
He had reach, but he didn't have flexibility.
No i'd trash talk him into not playing the game so I could have the wii for myself
How Batarian of you.
I missed because my main weapon is a shotgun.
>plus your combat/biotics/tech is perfectly balanced
In games where every level tends to value one more than the other this is a bad thing. Like Miranda in ME2 balance/versatility is never what you actually want.
>where every level tends to value one more than the other
The frick are you talking about? Biotics are the undisputed winner in combat, tech is for opening locked containers
Imagine actually tailoring your team for the specific mission like a dork instead of just equipping tali, Wrex, and yourself with shotguns and blasting every single one of your problems in the face.
Few tryhards care about min/maxing in Mass Effect. Most of ME players only care to team up with their favourite characters and kill aliens. Thats pretty much the basic idea of the game, hence why it has a forgiving gameplay. This aint Xcom.
>Few tryhards care about min/maxing in Mass Effect
Why would they? The game's trivially easy even on the highest difficulty.
>lol u can't open this container with your current hacking level
>lol u can't complete this side mission with your current hacking level
>lol u can't avoid sucking wieners with your current hacking level
I don't see how Adept and Sentinel aren't the best classes in 1. They have so much control over the battlefield its crazy.
>play infiltrator
>give a sniper rifle two (2) scram rails and high-explosive ammunition
>I can now kill geth apertures in one firing of my portable mass effect railgun
Control is for morons who can’t into damage.
Sentinel's Bastion specialization in ME1 and Assault Armor in ME2 were unironically the best shit ever
who cares about team combo outside of just who your favourite characters are, the mass effect games are easy as frick.
gay. Ashley is the best and my only MEfu.
Though I wish they went with this still.
>Ashley was originally to recite Robert Heinlein's "Cool Green Hills of Earth." The rights for Heinlein's work are rather complex, and when time ran out to acquire permission, it was replaced with Tennyson's "Ulysses," which is in the public domain.
Makes more sense
I mean, I love me some Tennyson but Ulysses is about growing old and while yearning for the golden days of adventure finding joy, finding joy and pride in the work of your final days
It's not a coincidence it always shows up in media about the end of the British Empire
>typical agro white b***h
>get saved instead of depressed gay guy because of your breasts
Every fricking time
Kaidan is not gay, and no amount of me3 dohoodle will change that.
Steve and Traynor will be corrected.
>that little cutscene each time you approach Kaidan in ME1
yeah no lol
Cutscene?
Shepard would choose Kaidan and its pretty obvious, no one's gonna throw away their lieutanant for some random marine soldier they picked up on the way through, and her dying to protect the nuke makes sense
In context it's about who you send with the salarians though, since it makes no sense not to turn around when the bomb is threatened. And either one has a decent argument there, maybe you send your second in command to be your eyes and ears or maybe you send the soldier to give them some muscle
I always found it so moronic how you can save the bomb runner and have the Salarian ally die but still pick up the Salarians if you do the four tasks
Shepard would send Ashley with the Salarians to make sure those shifty geckos don't try to pull any shit and then kill off Kaidan for being a homosexual by using the situation for plausible deniability and going to assist Ashley with the nuke. I know Shepard would do it because I've seen him do it every single time I ever played the game.
>Shepard would send Ashley with the Salarians
>going to assist Ashley with the nuke
So which is it
Frick, I don't know. It's been like 10 years since I last played ME. Send Ashley with the nuke, send Kaidan to suicide with the Salarians. I don't know why I thought the Salarians were the nuke team. The point is that Kaidan must die no matter what happens because he's an annoying whiny gay.
Ashley makes sense for two reasons
>closes her family name issue with a heroic sacrifice
>3 doesn't happen to her
Even removing Kaiden from the equation it just has to happen.
Ashley Williams: Look. If you're fighting a bear, and the only way for you to survive is to sic your dog on it and run, you'll do it. As much as you love your dog, it isn't human.
Real life:
Usually the bear isn't standing on a very tiny wall though.
>t.thin wall salesman
>Easiest Virmiring every time
I have to kill Kaiden to save him from becoming gay.
How about you don't take the "aaaw Kaidan I'm so sad for you let's hug" dialogue choices next time
I don’t talk to my party members
Kaidan doesn't turn into a homosexual if you have another romance by the time you first talk to him post-coup
I have never romanced anyone in Mass Effect
Weak, you need to help John continue the Shepard bloodline
>Miranda is barren

Only options are Jack and Ashley

Cringe, like all Asari lovers.
Nothing cringe about unique biological strategies.
Yes, parasitism. Which is why you never take Asari with you to found a colony.
>not impregnating them instead to make them carry your children
>not altering their physiology to suit our own
Yes, skill issue.
>fanfic bullshit
>gay fanfic bullshit at that
>trying to be a space civilization without reproduction basics covered
No more bullshit than eezo basic transmog or resurrecting a human turned bacon strip.
At any rate, I wasn't speaking about canons, of-course.
Simply put, this type of parasitism isn't an unsolvable issue, in many ways.
And as far as actual story is concerned, alien presence on Alliance colonies is unlikely to carry any significant weight to affect anything, as far as I recall.
If anything, SA is more than capable of fricking up human genetic potential on their own.
Me neither
Also gets bogged later so you spare her from that fate
I had this jesus bawd sacrificed in the first Mass Effect and never had to see her again in the sequels
at least she's a character unlike kaidan
The writers did a good job depicting Ashley as an American conservative
>Turians, quarians, and asari bad
>Unless I have personal experience with them
>Turians bad
correct. they tried to genocide humanity just mere decades before the game
I was always surprised you don't find more hostility towards aliens from the human npcs in ME1 and 2
Never happened and humanity deserved it.
>I was always surprised you don't find more hostility towards aliens from the human NPCs in ME1 and 2
Because RACISM BAD is as far as the writers can think about international politics and racial tensions. But also I'm pretty sure they originally intended for the First Contact War to have happened A LOT longer ago. Pressly looks like he's in his 60s and he talks about his GRANDFATHER fighting in the First Contact War, which means the First Contact War would have been like 100 years before the game starts (my grandfather fought in WW2 and I'll be 60 AFTER the 100 year anniversary of WW2 ending). For some reason they changed it to 20 years ago and nothing makes sense any more.
The best part was that Turians were losing for a little while.
To be fair, they werent really trying, they sent a token ship squadron to look into the matter, it got fricked up by everything humanity could throw at them, then they decided to put their A game into it and got called off by the council
>Turians, quarians, and asari bad
Turned out to be 100% accurate.
Quarians deserved even worse.
why
>Meghan McCain
>Conservative
She's been voting Democrat ever since she could
She's not even "Republican Conservative" and never was
wait when were conservatives opposed to maternity leave
Around never ago.
Just more libshit straw manning to jerk themselves off over.
Conservatives are against FEDERALLY MANDATED maternity leave and generally believe it should be up to individual workplaces, unions, and at most the state governments to decide those things. Liberals try to spin that into conservatives being against it entirely. Kind of like those European propaganda infographics that claim all US workers get 0 days of PTO or sick time just because the federal government doesn't mandate minimum amounts of them and leaves it up to employers to negotiate individually.
the problem is that the companies WILL frick over the employee unless they have a good union and americans don't like unions
Americans at large seem to dislike plenty things necessary for maintaining just, virtuous societies, even stop-gaps like these, so sucks to be them, one may suppose.
Since you seem to be a communism homosexual I want you to go to the hood right now with every penny you have and spread the wealth around to the underprivileged. I mean you do believe in the distribution of wealth right? You do believe that the privileged should shoulder the burden of the underprivileged right? Stupid ass libtard making moronic ass arguments.
Who are you ranting at?
Yeah but saving Kaiden would be a little gay
That's why you have him with the squad so you're also saving the Salarians
ME1 is easy enough that your build doesn't matter even on high difficulty. With uninvested weapon skills you can just peak and shoot your way through the game.
>t. never played the original on Insanity
I beat the original on insanity doing what I said
You're right, ME1 on insanity was pretty easy apart from some snipers. Then ME3 was braindead on every difficulty.
>peak
Nuking Ashley /romancing Tali is the easiest indicator of a low test beta male in the fanbase
Most players rescued Ashley just because
>A) they didn't care about Kaidan because he didn't have breasts
>B) they didn't care about Ashley either but at least she had breasts
which is the literal definition of being a beta simp male thoughever?
I didn't save Ashley, I killed Kaidan. It's a subtle but absolutely vital distinction.
Ashley, Garrus and Wrex are the only characters in the game that aren't cardboard cutouts.
I let Kaiden die because his life was sad and I liked him better as Carth.
Nuking Ashley and banging Tali is the reddit option for sure.
Tali was literally underaged when you meet her in the first game, it’s very likely that shepherd takes her virginity, which is based.
>young hot girl who is doing a gap year to "discover herself" and "travel the universe"
Yeah totally sounds like a virgin
I remember when I was first played it as a kid I didn't entirely understand how the romances worked and was worried I'd accidently end up with Ashley so in order to ensure I'd frick Liara I nuked Ashley
I later regretted it because it felt gay with Kaiden crying by Shepherd's hospital bed like a woman or whatever in 3
So, the reason you don't sacrifice her is because of ME3. It's hella gay to have Kaiden in the Hospital bed with his man breasts hanging out.
This is all still better than a gay/bi man with Kaiden is.
>complaining about racism
>on fricking Ganker
You have to go back.
She has passive health regen.That's good enough for me
>save the dumb grunt
>or the rare biotic human
>rare
lmao you can just magically become biotic between games, easy
Shepard is always canonically biotic positive no matter what, your class simply changes whether he makes use of it or not
Should've allowed class change in-game.
Where the frick were Shepard's mothers if all three origins have in-utero exposure?
can't Shepard send a message to his mom in 1 & 3? Can't remember if it's Earth Shepard or Space Shepard, but the mom is in the military too.
Only Space Shep, Eartborn is an orphan.
honestly both Gaydan and Trashley can die in nuclear fire

Immunity is the best skill in the game, moron.
i chose her because at the time i was lead to believe I would have to do homosexual shit with Kaidan if I didn't.
Ashely and Kaidan are both unlikable morons, wish it was possible to just leave them both to fricking die.

>didn't deny being a CODkid
Cool
biotic in the early levels on insanity requires more shooting with much more risk than a b***h soldier
soldier was shit in me3 though
ME1 soldier is nothing special frankly
vanguard is tankier
infiltrator has more dps
ME2 where soldier peaks, easily the best class to finish the game with
ME3 is bit meh for soldier, you can still do good damage with typhoon and have some survivability but you don't excel in any area
>ME2 where soldier peaks, easily the best class to finish the game with
I agree but only because every other class is SHIT
Soldier with Mattock is boring but at least it gets the job done
Love Adept, Vanguard, and Infiltrator in ME3
>Mattock
I am sorry anon, but the revenant is way more fun
it has atrocious recoil normally but by god it turns into the weapon of a god during adrenaline rush
Are you aware of the fact that Mattock is bugged and lets you fire as fast as you left click so you dump the entire mag during an adrenaline rush? Only thing that makes it worth fightting against all those shitty shields and barriers
yes, as I recall people also just macroed/bound the fire key to mouse wheel
It just doesn't feel right not using your signature weapon

I'm guessing she's infertile like Miranda but if not her too.
There's no reason to think she's infertile.
Why did the devs force her so hard?
They predicted she'd took off in the SFM department
Im 99% sure she became a self insert or was since the start, how the shy autistic nerdy girl is also the secret information broker pulling strings from the shadows, who is also obsessed with the MC. Also shes the "canonical" love interest, so yea
Did ME had female writers?
>Im 99% sure she became a self insert
For whom? Casey Hudson?
kissing she!

I still put all points in shotgun anyway.
Barrier and juggle on the front lines.
Vega and Javik becoming fan favorite characters is one of the many ironies of ME3
Why Javik?
day1 dlc so hated by default
Sorry I was able to edit text files so not an issue
Prior to ME3's release a shitload of documents were released spoiling the plot and the DLC plan. The fact that there was a "Prothean" pissed off most of us because A. it took away from the extinct species thing and B. it being pay to play despite being on the fricking disk (discs served a purpose back then) felt like a FCC violation.
Same with Vega, the idea of a newbie character being introduced to appeal to even more of that Gears of War audience just like ME2 pissed off people who just wanted a sequel to ME1. Both characters wound up being surprisingly entertaining and Javik is actually very well written in his conversations, not so much his mission.
Also the Collector design is far superior to the Ilos tall man statues, one of the few retcons I like.
>people who liked ME1
those were such a tiny minority it was unimportant for the developers and the publisher.
the sales of ME2 and then ME3 outshone everything. I think 95% of the fanbase started from ME2 onward and then played ME1 after their first game
Sorry anon, but you're kidding yourself if any of the normalgays who got into ME3 or 2 first for the marketing went back to 1
if you think any*
ME1 sold well enough 1.6 million in 6 weeks
ME2 sold 2 million in two weeks
ME3 just doubled the sales of 2 in month
but yeah ME2 opened the floodgates with EA's marketing shilling it nonstop
I doubt many of those people thought much of the game after a few months.
>Sony Black folk think they can sit at the adult table
begone
the hell? why make a comment like this?
because
A) thats the truth in the numbers
and
B) it makes ME1 connoisseurs seethe
>Waaa why did they make ME3 into a shooter COD game
because thats what over 90% wanted and loved
me3 was a skill spam game though
>ME1

>ME2

https://www.vgchartz.com/article/250066/mass-effect-a-sales-history/
ME1 was the sleeper hit, ME2 took it further(all sequels should), ME3 did the best. Without the goodwill of ME1 ME2 doesn't make that kind of bank.
What numbers homosexual?
>Advent Rising
He's lying. ME1 did 1 million in the first month. It's true that ME2 did 2 million in the first month but the lifetime sales for both is 3 and 4 million respectively.
Without the goodwill of ME1, ME2 doesn't do the numbers. That guy doesn't know that because he's a sony zoomer
https://web.archive.org/web/20071212145929/http://www.gamedaily.com/articles/news/mass-effect-amasses-one-million-copies-sold/18805/?biz=1
While I don't mind the retcon so much its a bit silly that those ilos statues are now like 100k years old minimum. Plus they fricked around with the conduit vision so much in all three games
well for me being pay to play for such a lore important character was a major dick move.
>felt like a FCC violation.
i mean that ship sailed decades ago by then
>ME2 pissed off people who just wanted a sequel to ME
Are you fricking high? The reason why ME got as popular as it got, was because of all the hype and good will built off of ME2. Had ME1 been that good, ME2 would have made ME3 level of sales, and ME3 would have made Witcher 3 levels of sales. It never happened. The entire franchise is built up on the good name of ME2.
What a bunch of dumb fricks the nu-ME fans are. They even praise ME3 for being utter shit, just because the pew pew was slightly better.
You are a zoomer sony Black person.
Begone.Go play fortnite or something boi
>>You are a zoomer sony Black person.
I've been playing Bioware games since Baldur's Gate 1. In 1998! You have no idea what the frick you're talking about. Get fricked.
ME1 is an RPG, ME2 is a mass-appeal third person shooter with color-coded morality quicktime events.
Nobody cares what you think.
Imagine believing that ME1 is some pinnacle of roleplaying.
Get the frick outta here, with your baby's first RPG opinions.
ME1 is not the pinnacle of role-playing, but ME2 is just a generic sci-fi shooter that simultaneously shits all over ME1 from a story perspective right from the get-go. I never even finished ME2 because it was so bad.
>ME1 is not the pinnacle of role-playing, but ME2 is just a generic sci-fi shooter
ME1 is just as much a generic sci-fi shooter, as ME2. Who the frick have you been talking to? If anything, I'd argue ME2 has more style and aesthetic, than ME1. Sorry you got tricked by textures on planets and skyboxes. ME1 was never something better.
Stop sucking your own, and ME1's dicks.
>Also the Collector design is far superior to the Ilos tall man statues, one of the few retcons I like.
I dunno, they felt too humanoid and the protheans in general seemed more important before the 2 retcons
if anything the retcon made them less humanoid. The ilos statues just looked like stretched out human husks because they were
There is something fricking cool about a race purposefully blinding/deafening themsselves to prevent indoctrination/some kind of corruption from the Reapers tho.
They remind me of Advent Rising out of all things.
>if anything the retcon made them less humanoid
I dunno, I always found that the Illos statues were like that, as in the species corpse naturally resembled crippled humans in a chair, kinda like how the space jockey seemed like a big dude in a suit but they could be very different
>reading comprehension
we're saying the exact same thing
We very obviously aren't
You're saying the retcon made them less humanoid, I'm arguing the opposite
Despite their corpses superficially resembling humanoids, I'm saying I thought the species itself would look different
It's a moot point anyway. I wish they had this shit planned from the beggining
>Also the Collector design is far superior to the Ilos tall man statues
They lose the foreshadowing tho
>Also the Collector design is far superior to the Ilos tall man statues, one of the few retcons I like.
Hard disagree. The Ilos statues were freaky and alien looking. The collector redesigns look more generic.

Maybe not
It's surprisingly not gay at times
How the frick did they botch so much? Have they lost sources or something?
Is their quality control blind?
you're talking about the same people who censored the Miranda butt shots so..
ME fans were more than right to despise ME3 once it came out, particuarly because most the game(aside from the Cerberus plot) is fine, but that joke of an ending slaughtered any and all goodwill that Bioware had from the 2000s
no, Inquisition doesn't count because by that point Bioware doubled down on their hardcore tumblr audience.
Imagine spending time and money to make something look objectively worse
I can understand buying the "Legendary" Edition if you're a console gay, since you've never played 1, but does a non-Black person justifies paying full price for a worst version of a decade old game?
Haven't consolegays play ME1-3? It was on Xbox, wasn't it?
ME1 was originally an Xbox 360 exclusive, ported to PC a year later. PS3 got ME2 but never ME1. Zoomers don't seem to know about Xbox these days, though. To them, "consoles" means Playstation and maybe Nintendo.
>It was on Xbox, wasn't it?
Yes, actually
And the PS3 too, just 4 years later
My apologies, anyone that bought that shit is moronic, console gays included
Jack Harper personally approved the construction of this unit.
She's strong in game and attractive so she stays. I have no use for Kaidan.
I liked kaiden more until he went full homosexual on me, never let him live again after that.
>calls all aliens dogs
I think you misunderstood the metaphor, humanity where the dogs in it.
She was also right, the second the reapers were a thing the other races were perfectly content to let earth burn if it meant they had a little more time to build up their own defenses.
Yeah, even in ME1 you have the Council trying to order you to put the Normandy at risk to save them.
>immediately established Reapers are attacking EVERYONE everywhere, and every front is losing
>plot of ME3 is convincing everyone to give up on their home territory so that you can defend Earth (because the Reapers inexplicably decided to move their macguffin and the Citadel there)
>"See! I knew the aliens would abandon us the moment their entire civilization was threatened!"
ME2 proved Ashley right in a much more coherent way.
It's genuinely shocking to me how many people interpret Ashley's dog/bear metaphor as her telling Shepard to throw his alien crew to their deaths when it's just a cautionary tale that the Council doesn't care about non-Council race lives as much as Council race lives.
If the average IQ is 100, think about what the standard deviation is
self/similar = bad
other/different = good
But that's the opposite of what's true.
Kaiden gets to live because he does that weird creepy monologue before attacking Cerberus hq

>this many years later people are still so illiterate that they think Ashley is racist
>even despite the fact that the games proved her completely correct
The entire point of her argument is not that she's prejudiced against aliens, it's that she's worried aliens are prejudiced against humans (which is fair, because first contact in this setting was humanity getting attacked by alien aggressors). She gets upset at you for working with Cerberus (a human supremacy group) and she's actively willing to die for the sake of protecting a bunch of aliens (more than once, in fact). She just understands that aliens will naturally end up favoring their own species over humanity.
Which is LITERALLY exactly what happens when the chips are down in ME3.
It even happens with Wrex. He sounds so level-headed about the genophage and how Krogans need to change their ways to avoid dying out, but the second he finds out there's a chance at a cure he'll frick you up if you try to get in the way of him helping his people.
Why didn't they add an option to side with Cerberus or make one's own group?
>people are still so illiterate
It's more than that. People just comment about games they don't play and if they play it, they just barely pay attention to it
Despite the fact that in FNV literally every Legion NPC (with very few exceptions like the Pretorian Guard) carry a firearms you still see imbeciles parroting how "the Legion doesn't use guns"
>tough no nonsense latina
>wears a pink armor and in 3 gets turned into a bimbo and wears a miniskirt
i laughed my ass off but frick ashley for wanting to kill wrex he's the only true bro in the series besides anderson
>Wrex pulls a gun on you
>Ashley is the only one who steps up to defend you
>get mad at Ashley because "Wrex is a bro"
I bet you were surprised when Wrex jumped at the chance to cure the genophage, too.
Having to kill Mordin and Wrex to stop the genophage cure fricked me up.
still better than the black guy
She shot Wrex on my first playthrough and that earned her the Virmire death for every subsequent run.
>It's alright. No more questions.
Morbidly amusing how their globalism variant is touch better than ours.
Extra funny since female Shepard is a turbo rare genetic combo, especially if Earthborn. Really, red hair, green eyes, freckles, excellent physique?
I should go.
You know, while ME3 fell short, I wasn't so bothered by it, but I sure was bothered by utterly livid response from the fanbase, especially the particular "I liked ME series but now I do not" types.
It was so rabid it felt almost indoctrinated. Such "fans".
>You know, while ME3 fell short, I'm content with eating shit.
Fixed it for you.
Calling things shit doesn't make them so. A bad story is just a bad story, not shit.
>A bad story is just a bad story, not shit.
It is shit when it is this bad.
You want to suck Bioware's and EA's wiener? Be my guest.
I ain't, though.
I see there's little point to explain anything to another derailed fleshling. Oh well.
The story was an utter abomination and at launch your choices didn't even matter.
But story aside, the game had a myriad of other issues.
For example Bioware abandoned the cinematic dialogue camera the games were famous for in all of the side quests, and even some of the conversations with your companions.
All of the companions that you spent so long recruiting and making loyal in 2 failed to make meaningful appearances within the game.
Cerberus was retconned once again to somehow be a galactic power on par with all of Council space. Cerberus was also stripped of all moral nuisance and complexity so that they could be turned into comically evil villains. Kai Lang is the posterboy of this change.
The beginning of the game makes literal zero sense if you didn't buy the Arrival DLC for ME2. Without Arrival, your Shepard is on trial for pretty much no reason.
Earth is suddenly a major part of Shepard's life, even if he's a spacer or colonist. It's like Bioware suddenly pretended that Shepard was born on Earth.
Shepard is forced to have PTSD because he saw a child die...This is the same Shepard that's canonically gunned down thousands. This is the same Shepard that can have the Ruthless (pragmatist war criminal) or Colonist (I watched everyone in my town die or be raped by slavers) backstory. Why now would Shepard have PTSD? Why isn't the player allowed to choose? And if we must have PTSD, why can't it be someone like the Virmire companion who died instead of a random child we knew for less than 10 seconds?
The Reapers and their motives were pure moronic and made no sense and it's bafflingly that you couldn't call them out on it. "We, the machine race, are going to save the organic races from being wiped out by machines by....wiping them out"
The whole war with Reapers also makes no sense. Sovereign took the combined might of Council Space + a flank from hundreds of thousands of human warships and we still BARELY won. ONE REAPER btw
this right here is why I will never insult DA fans who got scorned by DA2 or ME fans that got scorned by 3
The journey of a Bioware customer into the 2010s is a PTSD worthy story on its own
>The journey of a Bioware customer into the 2010s is a PTSD worthy story on its own
>dragonagedreadwolfwikipediapage.jpeg
There's no way out.
>troony dev
Nope.
Huh.
I honestly just wanted to see if he was still the director
It started with ME2. ME2 is an abomination.
The last bioware game is origins.
>It started with ME2
Keep spouting that nonsense. Bioware will make more Andromedas for you.
ME3 was also the proto-gamergate. I remember it was the first time I had seen such a big divide on videogames from the journalist vs the customers. While in every forum and imageboard everyone was raging, places like IGN were giving the game 10s or 91st and saying how if videogames are art, then demanding an better ending is killing said art
>The Reapers and their motives were pure moronic
To this day, still the most underwhelming mystery solution I've ever seen
>the reapers were created by... The reapers, but organic
some mysteries laid out in fiction aren't meant to be discovered
Blizzard learned this the hard way and still stubbornly refuse to adapt
I like to think in an alternate universe somewhere ME3 was about the following:
>Shepard getting to choose which factions he spends the rest of the game with (Asari, Systems Alliance, Shadow Broker, Cerberus, Krogan, Turians, Quarians, the fricking Geth, or even Aria)
>Shepard steering the weight of Galactic power by blunt force or intrigue, morally or immorally up to the player
the important thing by the end is that the Reapers do show up, and Yuuzhan Vong style wreck the galaxy
from then on its survival, and you can only kick them out if you were successful with your choice of faction provided they were powerful enough to begin with(for example, if you side with Cerberus, maybe you and the Illusive Man did find out how to control Reapers. If you sided with say Aria or the fricking Turians on the other hand you're going to fricking die lol)
I loved the DLC before getting on the ship at least but the organic reaper was extremely moronic & pointless. It was like talking to star child all over again.
>calls all aliens dogs
You misunderstood the analogy she was making. She wasn't calling aliens dogs, she was likening our relationship with them to one of dogs and dog owners.
A dog owner may love their dog, but at the end of the day if the dog owner's life or well being is on the line, then the dog owner will choose themselves over the dog every time.
And as we see throughout the trilogy, Ashley was right every time.
The Council was perfectly content to let the Collectors slaughter and butcher humans en masse because it didn't affect them. The council was perfectly content to deny the Reaper threat because doing so benefited them in the short time, even if it came at the expense of humanity. The council and every other human race refused to offer aid to the human race during the reaper invasion despite the fact that humanity had already sacrificed hundreds of thousands of human lives for the alien races
>gets jelly of blueberry even if you never flirted with her once
Because Liara is a weirdo from an incredibly promiscuous race of literal prostitutes who spent a century in prostitution to "find themselves". This blueberry weirdo wandered onto the Normandy, and now she wants to touch and merge minds with the commander, while also acting like an incredibly fricking clingy weirdo
>quotes shitty poetry
What's wrong with being cultured and wll read?
>cries about muh God
what's wrong with being Christian?
Let's not forget about Council's stance on Batarian anything, even not concerning humans.
Simultaneously Council lacks guts to honorably kill, prioritizing personal results, capital and stagnation over justice and meanings to life.
Reapers never needed to even lift a finger.
To be fair to Liara, she seems purer than most Asari, and is staunchly Commander Shepard-sexual.
>inb4 comics
Never read them so I can't comment.
>what's wrong with being Christian?
There are a number of serious issues to take with taking any theology, but it's unlikely OP ever contemplated them.
>race traitor would rather side with filthy xenos than with a trad human woman
Why are leftoids like this?
TALENT POINTS. I'M GONNA CUM.
>Shits on aliens
>Hates Terra Firma because... "le that's too far!"
>I'm not racist... right commander?
Terra Firma twins were a gigantic missed opportunity
Immunity was an excellent skill, sod off.
And she looked really juicy in that armor too, subtle gorilla women vibes.
I find ash to be a pretentious c**t but kaiden is like watching paint dry, he basically doesn't exist so he's super easy to kill off. It also works out great because in 3 you get to blast ash for being a dumb c**t. win-win situation there.
did ME3 players dump lead into Ash's womb when the game released or did they cuck because of the hair?
no offense ash!
The fact she morphed into kim kardashian made killing her that much more enjoyable.
I honestly didn't think it'd actually kill her, that somehow she'd survive it since she had a whole recovery sympathy arc but I was pleasantly surprised.
>The fact she morphed into kim kardashian made killing her that much more enjoyable.
Fun fact, nothing about Ashley's face changes. They gave her bigger breasts and let her hair down. That's about it.
I think they gave her better makeup too
>nothing about Ashley's face changes.
Same with this pic, it's exactly the same.
Except it's not.
>Fun fact, nothing about Ashley's face changes.
Fun fact, you are a faceblind autist.

All noticeably different.
>>chin

>nose
>brow ridge
>eye size
>cheekbones
They are all the same. She has always had big lips.
>They are all the same.
You're blind.
>She has always had big lips.
In ME2 her top lip is notably thinner and her bottom lip is notably thicker, while in ME1 they were equally thick. The proportions have changed.
Her chin doesn't stick out as much.
Her jaw doesn't go as low.
Her nostrils are narrower.
Her nose is flatter.
Where her nose meets her brow is not nearly as deep.
>In ME2 her top lip is notably thinner and her bottom lip is notably thicker
In ME2, she was modeled pretty poorly. Then again, no one was modeled as poorly as Femshep with her wonky posture and animation rigs.
She's the only good romance out of the first game.

you can't convince me that this isn't the optimal mass effect playthrough
The optimal Mass Effect playthrough stops at the end of ME1 and headcanons the rest.
>Jack
>Ugly
Imagine not appreciating that delicious tummy and those thick dsl
Sorry, I can't see any of those things through all the ink.
I will never not be convinced that all these come from trannies and dykes that got cucked by Sheploo
Stay mad.
i don't mind Jack's character I just don't like the tattoos
not mad at all, in fact go and pump super biotic babies into her all day and night
i will never accept that mutilating your genitals makes you a pretty girl, sorry. This should also apply for ugly people like jack
What the frick are you on about?
>I have no real life experience with people who are covered with tattoos & frick anything with a pulse
go to your nearest shithole town to see what people like this actually look like
homie, she ain't real.
Lmao.
Trannies wish they looked like Jack.
>let me have this white trash fantasy
k
>let me have this white trash fantasy
The frick are you talking about? "White" "trash"?
Get the frick out.
Mongoloid.
very compelling argument for the worst female character with very masculine traits
>very masculine traits
Oh, yeah. This is how all my bros look like.
Get the frick out of here with your "white trash" shit. Fricking white hating motherfricker.
>I'm angry you insulted my fentanyl addicted welfare handout taking tattoo covered demographic
You're worse than a Black person, they don't know any better but you have just enough intelligence to know you're acting like a primitive proto animal but keep behaving that way anyway because you're an impulsive subhuman monkey.
I'd tell you to stick a bone through your nose like the spiritual Black person you are but then it occurred to me that you probably already did lol.
>You're worse than a Black person,
You calling white trash, and call me a Black person? You're the Black person.
my white trash fantasy is a girl with no tattoos (except for a heart with my name on her ass) wearing a ripped up tshirt and shorts washing a chevelle parked in front of our trailer. when did non-tramp stamp tattoos get popular with white trash?
>if you don't like the character that literally looks like a troony then that means you're a troony

>Looks like a troony
Witcher you've never seen a troony in your life of you're so surrounded by them you think anything vaguely feminine is a troony
>running down mascara
AHHHHHH
My wife <3
>least amount of screen time of every romance
Incredibly unfair
Although when you think about it Liara gets so much more everyone else is unfairly treated
>tattoos, ever
you know how this goes
my headcanon is that terra firma takes complete control after i put Udina in charge then skullfricks every single xeno in the galaxy
>what about the collectors?
cerberus skullfricks them
>what about the reapers?
ok by me3 the Human dominated galaxy skullfricks them too, any other questions?
she looks like a druggie and has disgusting scars on her neck, nty
>junkie who's been ran through
In real life she'd look like the faces of meth pic after doing the shit she's done.

clone shepard deserved a lot better, but only as femshep. the gender of clone shep should've been opposite the player shep but i understand then it wouldn't be a clone
Arguably one can have both, a clone in all ways except altered.
Eh, either clone deserved a lot better.
Personally, I think clone plot should've been in 2, taken much more seriously, saveable, recruited as a team mate and a romance interest
Ditto for Brooks.
>no option to hatefrick Brooks until you mindbreak her into accepting you as the superior Shepard
a bigger travesty than 3's original endings
I'd prefer something more romantic, but I concur.
There was massive potential to be had there.
Seeing this thread is making me want to play mass effect 1, haven't played it in one and half decade. Any good mods for it? I wasn't into modding back in the 2010s.
ME1gays insist it's the best ever so play it as it is

You can't frick your sister-cousin
Wuh!
>>shit skills
filtered, she combines the long-range damage of Garrus and durability of Wrex, outshining both of them. she's inferior only to Kaidan and Liara and since taking both of them is usually redundant, she's almost always on the team.
>shit skills
The only party members worth a damn are the soldiers because they can just be invincible for a minute straight and actually do damage unlike shitters like Garrus. Tali is good for geth only.
>those Krogan charges on Virmire
Spooked me for a bit, pretty cool.
In ME1 she has the second highest DPS behind Garrus and second highest survivability behind Wrex. Granted she needs to be microed for good DPS
In ME3 she has disrupter ammo which makes her mega based for the gith missions
Threadly reminder that since the release of MELLO the modded Legendary Edition is the best way to play the trilogy.
Mello?
Mod that restores the dynamic lighting to ME1, which was the reason that the LE originally looked so bad and 'soulless'.
https://www.nexusmods.com/masseffectlegendaryedition/mods/1500
It was the last significant problem with the LE, and is now effectively a non-issue. IIRC the only outstanding issue with LE now is the bugged walking animation in 1. But the number of problems LE solves that IIRC were never fixed for the originals like the music not playing for the Samara/Morinth fight or Ashley's marksman bug in 3 make LE currently the better choice.
Any AI vocaroo pastas? Has the craze pass? It was fun.
One of ME3's biggest issue was with OST. It's too clean, too dramatic movie tier, there's lack of drive, of bombasticness like in ME3 launch trailer or in ME2, lack of ME1 space vibes.
It should've been heavier, with more pressure, more percussion, more synths.
They went with the Hans Zimmer Inception music because it was the hot thing at the time. I do miss Jack Wall and Sam Hulick music for Mass Effect
does anyone have the jack's shore leave mod? it seems to be thoroughly wiped
talis romance should be canon its ten times better than everything else.
t. taligay
>shit skills
Confirmed for not having played the game.
Man, it's been close to a decade since I've seen this pic again.
Too much time has passed.
I still can't believe it's been twelve years since me3 came out.
I refuse to believe I share a board with people who played beyond ME1.
sorry, 2 was my first
>t.astelet
I hate both Ashley and Kaidan, but since I can neither kill both nor save both, the bombastic vacation on Virmire goes to Kaidan purely because of how cringe he is towards femshep.
