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.

    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.

    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?

    Spoilers!
    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.

    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

  • DoobhDoobh She/Her, Ace Pan/Bisexual 8-) What's up, bootlickers?Registered User regular
    I don't think
    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.

    but not many!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    oh yeah Overlord is neat

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

    they're extra squad members!

    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.

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

    Firewalker is superfluous but also free

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

    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.

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