Moo?
Mass Effect 2 had about as much effect on the larger plot line as that fart Liara quietly waved away when she first met Shepard. You kept the Collector Base? Bravo, have a couple war prep points. You met this person, did this thing, let that member of your crew die? Everyone is expendable and replaced by a clone, and that thing you did is acknowledged by no one outside of a throwaway line by a hobo.


But hey, you got to hear Mordin sing. Wheeeeeeeeeeee.

Somebody should tell him that Asari basically clone themselves. One bloody Asari can recreate an entire species.


No, I'm sorry, this is bullshit. I believe Liara explained this in the first Mass Effect. The Asari have only one gender, but this doesn't mean they can replicate without a partner.

Yes, Liara explained it, you just didn't understand. Asari don't use DNA of the partner to produce an offspring. They use a partner to randomize their own DNA. So an asari child is in essence an Asari clone that had it's DNA randomized before conception. This is why one Asari can rebuild the species. They can mind-meld with ANYONE or ANYTHING to make a child and because DNA compatibility is not an issue one Asari can have let's 3 daughters. Daughters that will later randomize their DNA with anything they want and so on. Asari if they wanted (during child bearing stage) can reproduce exponentially.

Good, I finished ME 1 and 2 as a hot red renegade lesbian who wants to fuck every female character (be it an alien or human or whatever). ME is shit, not just as an RPG, as a computer game. But you can squeeze some enjoyment from it (if you know what I mean:troll:).

Is it our fault for joking about Bioware eventually ending up making Frostbite datesims for transgender manchildren? Were it us who influenced the reality with our collective conciousness?

Damn, the It was Aliens button would've been perfect to rate this post, but alas DU decided to keep other useless buttons such as Bad Spelling and Old and cut that one off. :negative:

It is a mystery will have to suffice, then.

Sometimes it feels like they're intentionally tanking their company
Yeah scanning a model for their main female character then making her ugly. Using this character to market their game so heavily when about 90% of ME players played as Male Shepard. Now they're so desperate they are trying to promote their game as softcore porn. I wonder if their fans will buy into it after their fiasco with the original series. Hell this travelling to a new galaxy thing is almost on the same level as the ending of ME3. Humans travelling 500 years to a new galaxy when they had just barely discovered ME travel and the Citadel 30-50 years earlier and had just begun colonizing planets in their area of space. It's not like there weren't plenty of planets to colonize in the Milky Way galaxy. The Citadel didn't even want to develop their own ME relays. They thought it was impossible, but they want to travel to another galaxy?

It shouldn't be so hard to find a way just pick up after ME3. There's plenty of precedent for picking a canon series of events and calling it good. It's better than the preposterous idea of travelling to another galaxy successfully, anyway. Just say it's "one of many possible timelines" like all the cool kids are saying these days. But like would require effort, unlike a "new" alien race just being a sloppy re-mesh/re-texture of a turian.

Either they're trying to tank the company for some contract-release/alternate profit reasoning, or they're run solely by all those pseudo-trannies armed with twitter that try to make everything that happens a SJW scandal.

I liked ME1. I even liked ME2, although it had it's issues. I liked much of ME3, and even half-heartedly defend it sometimes. I tried playing DA:I recently, but it caused me actual physical discomfort playing it. I really wanted to like it, but it's a really bad game. I really want to like ME:A, but the more info released on it the more it seems like it too will be a really bad game.

No they're not trying to get some sort of contract release, they are just incompetent. Social justice has rot their brains so they are wasting money and resources on pushing that crap. It doesn't matter if they lose millions of dollars as long as they get to push their ideology and politics in games on everyone. Of course EA is the one footing the bill so I guess it's an easy thing for them to do.

While it is true the owners of the business have a strong reason to stamp this stuff out, the individual employees have little downside. They will make the same amount of money if they avoid pushing their crazy agenda, and the virtue signalling they are doing will make it easier for them to get another job later.

If creators were owners they would be less inclined to do this.

So do they have vagina, labia, clitoris, or just some generic alien meat hole meant to satiate their own desires and to be sufficient for any number of other species? And does this mean they just need to have an aliengasm to become pregnant with themselves? If someone else flicks their bluebean can it make them pregnant? I'm sure the BethBoards covered this as some point. Asking for a friend.

You would think they wouldn't. But then you would be wrong.

I think they are getting there in their ambition to make movies. now we just need obvious stunt doubles for the characters in action scenes, fast cuts so you dont see their incompetence at fighting, inconsistent accents (probably in?) and making sure everything explode.

we are reaching apologist levels that shouldn't even be possible

I thought of that because of the blue-ish sprites that fly around after the punch "lands". I guess it's supposed to be saliva, but people don't slobber that much when you whack them in the jaw, so I figured it was maybe some biotic effect or something.
