Mass effect 3: We fight and we Whine. That's the plan
Old thread.
So we came from Ashley's outfit, Vega looking stupid, and me not quite getting why Ashley was selected as a SPECTRE.

Re: Mass effect 3: We fight and we Whine. That's the plan
I have some objections to the thread title, namely, do we REALLY want to say that we whine here? Does that not make us look immature?

Re: Mass effect 3: We fight and we Whine. That's the plan
Neh, maturity is overrated
Also, since theres no Mass Effect 2 thread thats active, I guess this one serves as that too right?
Sooo..... I've been playing mass effect 2 for the first time and just finished Horizon. I'm starting ti get loyalty missions, but I have not done all lød the recruitment missions yet. Should I grab all the people first, or do all the loyalty missions available first? Or is it all the same?Avatar by Smuchmuch, drawn during the DYF-event. Thanks!

Re: Mass effect 3: We fight and we Whine. That's the plan
It really doesn't matter. It all depends on who you want with you on any given mission. Personally, I always get Tali first, then do side missions until the next story mission, then work on whatever.
On the subject of Ashley's appearance:
I don't have a problem with the new outfit, I think it looks pretty good. And I'm glad that she'll be keeping her armor for combat, and I hope that's an indication that other characters will also be getting combat/ noncombat outfits too. I don't really like the new hairstyle, it makes her look too much like Miranda. I actually really liked the pulled back look she sported before, because she made it look good.
On a more general note, I ordinarily don't get collector's/ special editions of games because more often than not the extras don't interest me for the cost. Me3, on the other hand, is seriously making me consider getting the collectors edition for the extra weapons and outfits.The first chapter of The Book of Svarog

So, uh, why'd you make the thread title something no one wanted? And Why did you Capitalize and punctuate It like This

Re: Mass effect 3: We fight and we Whine. That's the plan
The day these Mass Effect threads stop looping back to the "I don't like the ammo system" I think that calling the threadgoers mature is a bit of a stretch.
As for the Ashley debate she is perfect for spectre status. She has the celebrity and clout from her time working with Shepard, outstanding fitness reports and she is trusted with highly sensitive missions where she will largely be on her own if things go ploin shaped.

I agree, Ashley makes a fine Spectre. To comment on that pic... first, if we can kill off characters, Vega is first to go. Seriously, BioWare? Not only is he apparently very stereotyped, he looks plain ugly. No thank you. Also, Liara likes to cosplay as Samara. Good to know.

Re: Mass effect 3: We fight and we Whine. That's the plan
Yup.
Unless Vega is voiced by Thomas Wilson, he's a dead man walking.
So, been reading all the spoilers I can get my grubby mitts on, and I gotta say, it's fun having a good guess at some of the lines that will be incredibly funny for a few weeks, then tremendously overused forever.
It's predicting the future, like Plumtree!Remember how I was wishing for the peace of oblivion a minute ago?

Re: Mass effect 3: We fight and we Whine. That's the plan
We need more ugly people on the good guy side in video games. And no, aliens like Grunt and Mordin do not count, as they have their own unique handsomeness to them, Wrex has fangirls of his own if DeviantArt is to be believed, and Garrus and Tali are romantic interests now, forever cementing turians and quarians as "sexy-looking."
As a character from Jade Empire once said, "Ugly people need love too!""Reach down into your heart and you'll find many reasons to fight. Survival. Honor. Glory. But what about those who feel it's their duty to protect the innocent? There you'll find a warrior savage enough to match any dragon, and in the end, they'll retain what the others won't. Their humanity."

Re: Mass effect 3: We fight and we Whine. That's the plan
Yeah but it looks like they were going for something rugged and manly and ended up with something thuggish and dull. Theres ugly and then theres uncanny valley.
Also, whats up with Kaidan's hair? Not sure I approve.
As for Liara, as long as there's still a blue outfit to put her in I couldn't care less about the red one.Avatar Credit: the very talented PseudoStraw. Full image:Spoiler

Before ME2 came out Jack struck me as the stupidest thing ever. I ended up not minding her. I'm sure Vega will be much the same.

Re: Mass effect 3: We fight and we Whine. That's the plan
People are really commenting on the desire to kill off Vega without knowing a thing beyond his appearance? Seems harsh.
As for Ash costume. I'm a fan of practicality. Part of what I liked about the first ME game was that we had Ash as the armored soldier who also happened to be a chick and not ohh look at the chick, oh also she's a soldier. If that makes sense to anyone. Really so long as she gets some armored outfit I'm fine, not like they're forcing her into a Jack suit with no other options.

Re: Mass effect 3: We fight and we Whine. That's the plan
Well, we know at least one other thing about him.
He's the FNG*.
He has all the questions about SOP and suchlike.
"What the heck are those space squids attacking us?"
"So, wait, wait. How do Spectres operate again?"
"At my old school, they never pistolwhipped reporters!"
"Why did you just make him eat his own eyeballs?"
You know. Dumb stuff like that.

Re: Mass effect 3: We fight and we Whine. That's the plan
I'm calling it right now: Vega will be the most hilarious, well-written, multi-dimensional character in a BioWare game.
He will be both terrible and refined, much like a dapper werewolf.Once you go blue, nothing else will do. Once you go Quarian...someone will die.

Re: Mass effect 3: We fight and we Whine. That's the plan
From what I've heard he is, basically, the standard minimum-personality shooter video game protagonist. Kaidan was already too much of that for me, and he was at least biotic.

Re: Mass effect 3: We fight and we Whine. That's the plan
...There's is just something downright unsettling about Vega. I don't know why, maybe it's just that picture of him and it won't be so bad in-game, I don't think I'll be taking Vega with me on most machines. I don't know about getting him killed off deliberately, but that face...
Also, maybe that head thingy is some kind of asari biotic amp? It'd make sense to see more asari who aren't undercover or trying to hide their villainous intentions with one of those then...and less sense that more don't have them anyway but still...
...I just noticed that if you buzzed the sides of Vega's head, he'd have the same haircut as Vega. Also, am I the only one anticipating Vega to be a humorous snarker who comments on all of the things that have become 'normal' for Commander Shepard?
"What did I do today? I went on a 'routine mission' with Commander Shepard, which means I fought a ten-story space cuttlefish with an assault rifle, shuffled through ancient prothean ruins that would have otherwise defined my career, and shot some mind-controlled human extremists from a black-ops organization that shouldn't exist. This job either sucks or kicks a** if this is routine."Warriors & Wuxia: A community world-building project focused on low-magic wuxia/kung-fu action using ToB.

I've no problem with Kaidan. I mean, at least he's not Jacob.
Apparently, I'm a Neutral Good Human Wizard (4th Level): Strength 13; Dexterity 14; Constitution 12; Intelligence 17; Wisdom 16; Charisma 13. I'm down with that.

Re: Mass effect 3: We fight and we Whine. That's the plan
on a related and also unrelated note.
mass effect movie it is in the work. so much so they are having a panel at comic con to discuss it.
link
for me I don't think it will be good. for one, i been hurt too many times on video game movies. if they are redoing the mass effect 1 plot. i don't think it will turn out. the banter in mass effect one is more lacking than other bioware games and the massive info dumps to make people understand the world won't work in movie form.
but rumor has it that it will be based on the first contact war. if this is the case i think it is the better move. as the characters in the movie will be learning along side the audience and so info dumps are easier to place in.

Re: Mass effect 3: We fight and we Whine. That's the plan
*reminisces*
Getting a hankering to play these games again, get a proper save file ready for 3.
Kaidan was just bland. Not even that bland, I guess. Just completely overshadowed by every other character. I kinda feel bad for the chap, sometimes.
I actually liked Jacob better than Kaidan though, for one reason only: Renegade Femshep making him soooo adorably uncomfortable with her flirting. I laughed so much with those scenes.Last edited by SlyGuyMcFly; 2011-07-07 at 12:50 PM.

Re: Mass effect 3: We fight and we Whine. That's the plan
See, people always complain about how you only pick up people with major baggage, but the minute you recruit someone who has already dealt with theirs...
"So, anything you'd like to talk about Jacob? Like how torn up you are over how your father was and how you're afraid you'll end up like him some day?"
"Nah, Shepard, I'm good. Whatever that thing was, my father died ten years ago. And I'm not him, I know who I am. Besides, even he couldn't screw up what he taught me."
"You know Jacob, you're a real buzzkill."

Re: Mass effect 3: We fight and we Whine. That's the plan
I liked Jacob's line when Shepard asked him if he needs help. "Either it's nothing serious, in which case there's no point, or something serious in which case your pseudo-therapy won't work." Or something along those lines; I played the Polish version of the game.

Re: Mass effect 3: We fight and we Whine. That's the plan
I don't hate Kaidan, I just find him a bit... bland. I definitely agree with you on Ashley, though.
Also, I predict an eventual movie will be a disaster if they try to follow the games' storyline, just because it will inevitably non-canonize most players' choices. First Contact War is good, as is one of the books. Just not the games, please.Last edited by Athaniar; 2011-07-07 at 01:09 PM.
