Now with more homoerotic overtones and multiplayer! [Mass Effect 3]

It will be a sad, sad day when these threads are no longer made. Until then: party in the USA.

Simple rules for not being a big stupid jellyfish:

1. No arguments over who's the better voice actor. People like them both. They have their preferences. You can express your own opinions without being a dick about it.

2. No bitching when people quote lines one or more times than you care to hear. It's the internet. See Hangover Shepard for reference.

3. Garrus is the best.

4. Be kind to our "friend from Noveria" and don't quote his inflammatory statements. We love him. Be nice.

I heard Batarians have six eyes in this one

Here's something I found on the ME3 thread over at SA. I suppose we can blame it all on Kelly for not doing her job.

At least three times the eyes of the average human. Six of the common cyclops.

Wait.

I thought Wrex and/or Mordin was the best.

Is Garrus also the best? Must "Best" be redefined? Is everything I know a lie?

Garrus is the best bro

wrex isn't so much a bro as he is a fond if abrasive older relative

and Mordin is crazy in a good way

but as bros go? Garrus, followed by Bro Minoris, Jacob.

I'm upset there wasn't a postgame sequence of spilling drinks on the citadel with all surviving crew members.

This is probably the biggest flaw with the game.

Indie Winter

Shepherd drunkingly stumbling around the Presidium, Grunt and Zaeed holding him up by his arms and singing songs about killing people

Dubh

Credits finish with a photograph sequence of the whole event

edit: Uh oh! Looks like Kelly got caught with Thane on film!

Indie Winter

He only has 8 months to live! that's hilarious

oh yeah I guess Thane will be dead by the time of ME3. Maybe we'll have to deal with his son?

Dubh

Spoilers!

Spoiler:

Bioware has confirmed that Thane is not dead when Mass Effect 3 starts. It's probably likely that he, and a whole bunch of other people, could die during the events of the game.

Melding

Human Hero arrested For Public Indecency on Citidel.

Day of the Bear

I hope that I can kill everyone in ME3.

I won't do it, but I need the option to be there.

boo

BOOOOOOO

Dubh

Hey, my first ladyshep romanced Thane. He and his leathery vocal cords. Mmmm. Can't you just imagine his voice?

Indie Winter

I like Thane

I would have liked them to stick with his story and kill him off at the time the character said it would die

I mean at least if they brought him back, make him mortally ill and we'll have to fill in his final contract or something

buy nope, years later, Thane is still dying but not enough for him to abstain from going on wild space adventures

Dubh

I don't think

Spoiler:

Thane has much fight left in him. They haven't confirmed him as a squadmate, or anything. It would be a shitty thing to pull for those who romanced him to go and kill Thane off behind the scenes.

Melding

"Years later"? Doesn't mass effect 3 take place like, several months later?

Day of the Bear

Years in the future

but not many!

(I actually have no idea)

Spoiler:

I wonder if Bioware would be gutsy enough to have a mission in ME3 which involves finding a cure for Thane's disease but getting it would wreck a chance to pick up something optional for the anti-Reaper effort that would make beating them a lot easier. Save the life of Thane and others in his predicament or save the optional macguffin. One or the other.

This is exactly what i was hoping for.

Man I still need to play through the DLC for ME2. Ugh. What are the good ones and what are the bad ones I can avoid buying?

avoid Firewalker

Arrival is ok, you finally get to see the Big Bad in person so it's cool

definitely get Shadow Broker, it's pretty remarkable how good it was. Like, waaaay better than it had any right to be.

Dubh

All of the DLC is great, imo. Shadow Broker and Arrival have relevant story implications for ME3. That doesn't mean you should ignore Overlord, or the weapons pack. Oh, right, Kasumi is DLC. She has a wonderful mission (with awesome rewards) and makes a fun squadmate.


Honestly, I say pick up everything except Genesis.

edit: Firewalker ain't much. It does have a nice bonus upgrade at the very end, but I don't think it justifies what you have to go through to get it.

Bucketman

I got Firewalker and Katsumi when they released. Ugh I guess I'm going to reinstall this tomorrow, gah.

Indie Winter

oh yeah Overlord is neat

and I thought the extra squad members were worth playing without mention

they're extra squad members!

Adus

What the hell is Genesis?

Remember that thing that the PS3 version had the beginning, since there wasn't a ME1 on that platform? The Shepard generator with the terrible arts? Yeah, not much worth it if you have a Shepard to import or access to masseffectsaves.com.

Turambar

Kasumi and Overlord are great
Lair of the Shadow Broker is amazing. Best DLC ever
The rest are also okay

Balefuego

Firewalker is superfluous but also free

But yeah Kasumi, Overlord, and Shadow Broker are all awesome and Arrival is worth playing.

TankHammer

I'm a little saddened that Admiral Hackett doesn't look much like Lance Hendrickson but I still hope we get to pal-around with him some more in ME3.

Legba

I felt bad during Shadowbroker for sticking to my guns and not giving Liara a hug.

The game kept throwing that Paragon Interrupt at me over and over and over like a puppy, but I was playing a Renegade Shep, damnit.

Indie Winter

I'm kinda surprised

Spoiler:

that giving the Shadow Broker the intel on Cerberus in ME1 had no visible consequences in ME2. I was sure we'd get something!

Spoiler:

also I am pretty sure the real Shadow Broker is that "VI" drone that's just hiding behind the various organic beings who believed they assumed the mantel

Shabooty

I want a N7 bathrobe

Hunter

When I'm killing reapers with my bare hands as male Shep, I'm putting this on.
