Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
The Batarian Hegemony Presents: The Mass Effect Thread
Posts
life finds a way.
Don't y'all be feeling snooty against "hardcore ME" fans. Considering how many posts and time most of us in this thread have spent towards discussing and arguing over Mass Effect, there's very few definitions that wouldn't include us as hardcore ME fans.
and yet so right
I have been following this thread, and the G&T ME thread for at least 6 months, and checking them daily. Yeah, I'm definitely a 'hardcore' ME fan and I don't care what anyone thinks about it. *shrug*
I also consider Mass Effect, and games in general, as art, and don't think for a second that there's anything shameful about having strong feelings about art. As supposedly "entitled" and "whiny" as gamers are supposed to be, our reactions really can't compare with how mofo's have reacted to art previously.
Not that I'm saying rioting is the way to go. Just that, if something is created that provokes a strong emotional reaction, then it's kind of silly for people to be surprised that it provoked a strong emotional reaction.

I just found this interview with her, made by the guy who plays Kaiden Alenko. I think it's pretty good.

I can easily see an audience rioting over that.

do we really need five fingers?
Seems like the age of music literally causing a revolution has passed

In the first novel it talks about how they are way more sensitive to visual data so they are really observant and pick up on body language and stuff. Guess that might make them good at reading people. So they might make good detectives/lawyers.
Now I want a buddy-cop story featuring a batarian and a turian solving crimes and cracking wise.

Ther eis actually a hypothesis of why this is, which is that the human brain reacts violently against new forms of sounds at prolonged levels. Once we become used to it, it loses that effect. Since we are inundated with music, lots of different harmonies and siscords from birth, people don't go crazy like they used to.
There's more to it, but that's the gist.
They have much better focus whatever they're looking at, obviously.
They're also a lot more observant of body language.
Also, they probably have extremely good depth perception.
All in all, it doesn't sound amazing, but I don't see why it wouldn't be better than two.
maybe one of their sets of eyes sees in infrared or something
or maybe they are like Protheans
Four, maybe, but I think that if you cut it down to three you're losing dexterity/gripping potential.
Weapon damage, don't take a sniper rifle, take the paladin/carnifax with a scope, energy drain like a madman.

it all makes sense now
Yeah but I don't see why having more eyes wouldn't help, since that's twice as many organs sending the brain data on what you're looking at.
if you like better cooldowns, yes
Well, then you're doing god's work!
If you want to take a sniper rifle on an infiltrator, I would say go human, take all weapon damage increases, and spec for sticky grenade. The salarian just works really well with a pistol
