    So, this may have been answered but fuck me, Mass Effect threads move so fast

    If I go preorder at Gamestop, I get the Terminus Armor and the Blood Dragon armor, right? Where's the Inferno armor come from?

    And is there anything stopping me from buying two copies, one from Gamestop and one from wherever I get Inferno armor, and downloading them both?

    Because I really want both.

    Narp, The terminus armor/and gun come from pre-ordering through gamestop.

    The dragonage armor comes from pre-ordering Dragonage Origins or getting a specific edition (I honestly forget which)

    And to further continue this memory-loss miasma....I honestly forget which vendor you pre-order from to get the inferno armor from :(

    The Blood Dragon armor comes from buying any new copy of Dragon's Age: Origins from any outlet.

    The Inferno Armor I think comes from any retailer that's not GameStop.

    I have to say, I think Admiral Mikhailovich had some good points about that ginormous distance between the captain's platform and the pilots/weapon stations. It makes sense to me to have the commander of the ship up close and personal.


    That's probably why Cdr. Gesture got his damn ship run over. His intercom was broken so he had to designate a runner to sprint up to the pilot to tell him to EXECUTE EMERGENCY EVASIVE MANUVER PATTERN

    oh god

    was it BETA or ETA? I better run back and ask


    (In this example I am extrapolating from the Normandy that all Turian designs have the distance between the captain and the pilot as basically 7/8ths the length of the ship, even though a Turian warship is many times longer.

    I have also decided that on Turian ships there exists Emergency Order Runners, all of which must requalify for their position several times a year by performing a 100-metre dash in under 6 seconds. I have decided all these things.)

    Just checked amazon. They currently don't have any pre-order bonuses up yet, but they are carrying it for 46.99 instead of the usual 49.99 so I guess that's something. :D (I actually originally pre-ordered from them since I subscribe to Amazon Prime, but the terminus armor is just sho gooby, especially with my saved Soldier playthrough, it fits his style perfectly

    Liara: Shepard! You just vaporized that Volus informant! Why did you do that??

    Shepard: I'm wearing Terminus armor. Your opinion is irrelevant.

    Liara: I am suddenly more hot for you than ever. Lets embrace eternity when we get back to the Non-destroyed convenient plot-device Normandy 2.....

    You could even leave a crew behind to man the captured ships remaining weapons and turn it into a temporary, mobile/stationary turret of death.

    Tuchanka (according to the website)
    I think we might just see females of a certain species we haven't before.
    A whole new set of quads. Ones on the chest.

    Ok maybe it's different for Krogans


    but in my experience


    unless it's a great night, you have half as many vaginas as balls. So it would be a new set of duals.

    I believe their intent is to bring more non-human/asari/Tali females into the game. They've acknowledged that 'other' females were cut due to time so the hope is that they can be placed into the world in ME2.

    Of course, it's kind of odd in a way that there are still no non-human/asari/Tali females in Shepard's group. At least so far. That might change, but I'm having a few doubts about it.

    I think a female Krogan would be akin to The Scotsman's wife from Samurai Jack.

    Which is to say, batshit terrifying.

    Actually I could see the female Krogan being sort of a...female Predator-ish sort of thing. (just...not with the squiddly jaw thing *shudders*) The in-game journal references a couple of times that females are rare in the Krogan species, and even rarer ones that can breed. IIRC, they seem to mention that they are fierce warriors too, with the breeding ones being strong enough to command whole groups of Krogan to simply fight amongst them simply for the chance to breed with them. Who knows? The artists haven't let us down yet, I just hope we don't discover some new terrible dark secret meme that awaits us....lurking...waiting for the chance to infest subsequent Mass Effect threads with all the grace and subtlety of a Face-Hugger in heat.....

    As I was saying....

    I'm coming to grips with the fact that, like it or not, I need to do at least one more Mass Effect run before the second one comes out. I went full renegade last run for the achievement and I don't like some of the choices. I don't mind being an abrasive asshole but there's some cold blooded murder every now and then and I don't think those people deserved to die.

    The Council still has to go though, and fuck Udina too.

    Having just played through this game a second time, and having just went back and watched all the vids in the OP, I'm hoping that the Cerberus assignments influence ME2. It's hard to believe you team up with those assholes after what they did.
