MASS EFFECT series, you've probably heard of it. We discuss the games, DLC, multi-player, speculation about ME4, fan art, but please no creepy fan fiction.
WIth all the remasters and whatnot they have been releasing on the new consoles, you'd think we'd have a ME trilogy on PS4 and XBone by now. At least announced... It's been too long since I played Mass Effect.
Nothing new on the ME4 front either, right?

I finished ME2 again last night, and man. Final boss aside, that is just one of the best endgames I've ever played. The game mechanics, the music, the visuals, the way that this whole group of characters is weaved into the action. It's all just exciting and tense and a perfect payoff to assembling and getting to know your team.
Poor Mordin was the only one who didn't make it this time. I felt bad seeing his space coffin sitting there all by itself.
Question: Is there any resource that talks about the best squadmates to bring along on particular missions, in terms of content? As in, squadmates who might have more to say than others, or more unique things to say and not just their version of a standard line. Or, looking at it from the other direction, maybe something that lists every mission/location where a certain squadmate has dialogue?
Dubstep is still the most fun of teams to run. A reave, a charge, a bit of lashing and some liberal smashing is by far the most fun I ever have in MP. Toss in a snap freeze for extra credit.
Nothing else comes close.

If they were to remake ME1 with 2/3's mechanics I would throw so much money at it.
Should I be focusing on any particular pack starting out? I've got my adept high enough to do silver/gold runs but I'd like to get a better variety of guns. I've been mostly sticking with the arsenal pack except half the time instead of rare guns it's equipment boosts.

Word. The final two hours of ME2 are more engaging than 90% of the movies I've seen. Hollywood needs to make note of this and think very long and hard about its implications.

Playing through DAO, I can't help but wish I knew a fifth as much about, say, the Turians as I do about the Dwarves, or that there were more than one Turian character of any real note. It's like if Oghren was your main viewpoint on his people. Just hope MENext let's you explore cultures a little more.
Multiplayer lead to me hankering for the singleplayer game so I decided to give renegade a try. And while it's mostly fun being a hardass I just finished up the genophage mission going full renegade.

One day I'll be drunk enough to risk looking on the net to see what that's about...
It's the phrase that keeps getting banned from the ME threads by mods. A move I personally think is ethically wrong as it's canon in the series, so perfectly up for discussion. I wasn't the one who wrote it into the game, I was just the one who doubled down on it...

I could have sworn I saw something to this effect, it was something small like either an overseas rating request or a GameStop pre-order sku (which of course means about as much as your average Krogan testicle).

Canon in the series? What? I'm pretty sure you are trying to start a fight with me, @Mild Confusion!
Clawhammer came from someone's comic about Mass Effect. Not an official comic, a fan made a comedy comic about it.
The reason it annoys me is because obviously Garrus is a lady fan favorite. So of course, dude fans are going to do whatever they can to smash ladys' wank material, because girls are dumb hurr hurr.
Like no comics ever got passed around about how probably Liara and Tali don't have vaginae. Because dudes like those characters.
Clawhammer doesn't even make sense. He has a spikey head and a carapace, so obviously spiked dick lol. Wanna know what critters on earth have spiked dicks? Soft, fluffy kitty cats.
At least there's Earthside precedent for Liara to have something like this going on.

In my world, they most certainly have vaginas. So many vaginas...
Where are the bipedal crustaceans in this calculation? The swirling, aroused gasses? The lonely, sentient space station whose hermetic bulkheads hold secret clusters of erotic delights, provided your character has both the skills and equipment? Carpe astrum, you Goddamned backwater clowns. There must be an entire universe of thrilling, dangerous, sometimes razor sharp genitalia that slavers beyond the Horsehead Nebula.
I seem to have typed up a post in response to Cambiata's, but I'm gonna save it in a draft overnight in case this is in fact the sort of thing that causes the mods to look in our direction. I'll post it when I get up tomorrow if none of them have stopped by to tell us to stop talking about this.
Yeah there is no mention of turian genitalia in canon at all. Asari have been mentioned, however, and don't even require that kind of contact for reproduction so who knows there (aside from the baby having to come out of somewhere). I hope never to find out how elcor work...

A remake of ME1 would be interesting. I went back and played it last year and was stunned by how bad some of the cutscenes were. There was a moment when Shep, Garrus and Wrex are all standing rigid and in a line while Shep calls the Normandy. Or when everyone is sitting in the circular briefing room with their hands glued to their knees. ME2 and ME3 have actual staging. Characters move and interact with their environment. ME2 really is much more like a movie in that sense than ME1 and the improvement shows just how far Bioware has come as storytellers.
The reason there's not more jokes about Tali and Liara is because Bioware made the lady aliens look like 95% human women and the dude aliens more...alien. That's certainly a thing of its own, but if there was a female turian option, there'd be jokes about like, vices or some scary beetle term or something.

Also the OP is already stumbling. I'm pretty sure we can't do most of what it asks without the creepy fan fiction.
I thought that was, like, 40% of what we do here.
Man, the ME thread has changed since I last perused it regularly.

I'm also readdicted to the multiplayer. I lucked in to an all biotic team today and it was beautiful.

Biotics and people were flying everywhere.
I just like having a phoenix cause smash is such an awesome primer and detonator. But when using lash to detonate? Hilarity.

You guys are the reason the AI child was created.

Edit: Tycho said it best:
But either way this argument is dumb. Let's not argue over the reproductive organs of vitual boyfriends and girlfriends.
Please?
Right, her face. Not a single one questioning whether Shep can still roger her (except with a bag over her head, because that's the joke).
Mass Effect internet high-five!
