Mass Effect thread #67 : Othor Games

Finished Lair of the Shadow Broker for the second time in my life... And damn it was awesome, especially with Liara romanced. Too bad it had so many Paragon interrupts though and I missed some of them last time.

Easily better than most of the other game, not that they are bad in any way. One of the best DLC I've wasted money on.

Yes, propably the best DLC BW has done so far. Arrival however was little more than filler combat :shrug:

As for my Infiltrator: Black Widow X, Saber X, AP ammo, piercing mods. You can run, you can hide, but your head will still blow up :evil:

Soldier with Falcon X and Paladin X, Inferno rounds, Garrus and Ash too.

Yep I've not long finished a runthrough of LOTSB with Liara romanced with my Shep. The only thing that (slightly) bugged me was that there was no reference to you getting back together via it in ME3. Liara still says 'it's been years' when you go to her quarters for the first time. But I understand that's probably more likely a bug with ME3...

So I just

wiped out the Geth! Stupid machine thought they could actually achieve life, pfft. Like I'd choose cogs and sprockets over flesh and blood.

What I really wanna know is how the ell does Shepard keep surviving 4-5 story falls, with narry a scratch on him. He just dusts off and move like nothing happened.

Agreed. Liara romance was so lacking in ME3, despite that it had apparently been the team favorite in ME1 and Liara having an entire DLC dedicated to her in 2.
I really liked the badass Liara in ME2. Basically she went from Shy Student -> Total Biotic Badass -> Insecure Loner.

"You sure that shunt is working?"
"It's illegal even in Illium, it did not come with a warrant."
"But you tested it, right?"
"Here come more of them!"
"Tell me you tested it!"
"No time to talk!"

A rare moment when I laughed at a video game, in a good way that is.

Update @ Ledgend1221

Spoiler

I just unlocked Marksman through the conversation with Ashley at the memorial wall w/ the event involving her sister and her dead husband. I chose the Paragon interrupt while it came up, as well as the upper-right options.

The Prothean Day 1 DLC is also the most corrupt,unethical DLC I have ever heard about.

Meh. Really doesn't seem like as big a deal as many are making it. :shrug:

And it certainly doesn't seem as unethical as, say, deliberately leaving the ending off a game - "to be continued" and similar - and then charging you extra $ to get it. Kind of like selling a mystery novel without the last chapter. (And I say "deliberately" to separate from the situation of, say, Broken Steel or the ME3 ending, where the "fix ending" DLC concept isn't a sleazy plan from the beginning, but something that people demand.)

So the servers are down? No warming? Boot me off in a middle of a match? Get it together EA BioWare.

Huh, really? I just got off 'cause I was too annoyed at people randomly dropping because things aren't going their way. (esp when it's the host. In the first round. :facepalm:

)

Anyone get the commendation pack? All I got was the victory pack, and it just had supplies in it.

It would appear http://videogamewriters.com/femshep-voice-actress-has-not-been-contacted-for-extra-voice-work-on-mass-effect-3-43609

I'd be interested to see how they plan to do any DLC without it involving Shepard...?

I think I'd be MEGA annoyed if it turned out to be 'codex entries' to clarify the end.... :facepalm:

Never got that conversation.
Hmmm.

What about Meer?
His VA is needed in any ME DLC.

I'm Garrus Vakarian an this is now my favorite spot on the Citidel ! :rofl:

I busted up when he said that

Why is his needed any more than Hale's??

One of THE best lines in ME3 I thought.

Meer probably hasn't commented on the matter.

'Cause I said so!

Hmmm.

To give you some more relevant information:

Spoiler

I had.
*Did what I could to convince her that I was no longer w/ cerberus during Priority: Mars.
*Compulsively checked emails and visited her every chance I got while she was in the hospital. Chose all positive options.
*Saw email for being there for her and her sister. see above from there.

I don't know if it's relevant (god I hope not), but I did explore all dialogue options with Ashley in ME1 and found out about her sisters then.

Servers back up?

» Tue May 15, 2012 1:53 pm

I just started a new playthrough on ME1. Playing Tom Shepard, a Space, War Hero Sentinel. I plan to have Kaidan and Wrex as my main squadmates and romance Liara.

» Tue May 15, 2012 2:43 am

Would Liara be interested in a female shepard in ME (this is my first female playthrough)?

» Tue May 15, 2012 1:01 pm

Yup. As she's not technically a female

» Tue May 15, 2012 11:16 am

Yup. As she's not technically a female :wink:

I thought she said she was...? I'm sure the Codex described the asari as "all-female", unless I'm misremembering again.

Edit: from the http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Asari:

There is some conflicting information regarding the gender of the asari. Though they resemble females, at least to humans, asari are non-gender specific, with no concept of gender differences. Liara says her species is "mono-gendered—male and female have no real meaning for us," and, if asked, says that she is "not precisely a woman". However, in the http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Codex it is stated that the asari are an all-female race.

A female and a female can still have babies though, as long as one is an asari.

More evidence that they aren't changing the endings and yeah I think text codex entries will probably be the way to go. The latter isn't terrible but it's not going to amount to much if they keep the endings the same.

I notice http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gn3MyTE80A yesterday when I was roaming through BioWare. I know its a bit long but its interesting viewing. Its all about space magic and there is a little bit about robotics the three 'r' rule of it.
