Also, a lot of people complain about Glacier

Those people have never played it as a vanguard.

Either the servers or my internet are being exceptionally shitty today, lagging like a mofo in the games I was playing just now. Was trying out my new krogan soldier but it got really hard to melee people when enemies kept warping around the map.

Still though, krogan soldier is pretty fun. Don't think I used any ammo at all for most of the waves.

I have! I still think it's shitty!

Glacier is the tiny ass lab one right

I hate that fucking level

I feel like I get it a disproportionate amount of times when I choose Random too. Sometimes it'll pop up 50% of the time.

Random my ass

Day of the Bear · April 2012

Glacier is my favorite map anymore.

Day of the Bear · April 2012

Glacier is so small that stuff can't help but cluster up

Perfect placement to rip everything apart via biotic explosions.

smof · April 2012

I always choose random maps and enemies when I pub. And about the last 7 matches in a row I have had Cerberus on Firebase... uh... the one with the indoor walkway looking over an open area outside? Dagger?

Day of the Bear · April 2012

Also this game hates me and just wants me to get arc pistols forever.

Fuck you game gimme a paladin or a carnifex instead

Day of the Bear · April 2012

I made that post

Opened a premium spectre pack

And got a paladin.

FUCK YES

Al_wat · April 2012

The Paladin is just a myth for me

I don't know what I'm missing so I don't particularly yearn for it

Day of the Bear · April 2012

Well I have a carnifex V right now as well, so really the paladin isn't even an upgrade unless I'm able to get a few more levels on it.

But someday, someday I'll have a high enough level paladin to justify using it over my carnifex.

Also, geth on gold on Glacier is basically a picnic.

As I charge and nova everywhere, this music plays in my mind.

Seriously · April 2012

you know why mass effect 3 sucks

it is because Garrus wants a scorpion and I can't give him one

what the fuck, Bioware?!

Seriously · April 2012

also am I taking crazy pills or do different levels of a mod look different

like the extended barrels and scopes

I'm pretty sure the extended clip renders as different colors the higher the level you have too

or whichever mod changes the color of the gun

Nerdgasmic · April 2012

I'm pretty sure the scorpion doesn't even work with squadmates

I never noticed Edi or Liara using theirs

Seriously · April 2012

I never notice squaddies firing their guns anyways, unless it's the particle rifle

they are just there so that I may ASSUME CONTROL

Hobnail · April 2012

Jesus Christ that is awful

Snicketysnick · April 2012

I did that last night. I felt really bad about it and talking to Squadmates only made me feel worse. Especially Garrus.

It is made so much worse by the fact that

Glacier is the best map because you can shoot through the glass. Which makes it pathetically easy if you have one guy rounding up enemies in the main lab area while three infiltrators snipe their entire world from the balcony.

wow

like all of wrex's dialogue is different if you destroyed the cure

with how shitty the ending is it can be kind of easy to forget how impressive everything else up to that point was

It gets even better.

Spoiler:

He has different dialog for a long time if you apologize or don't on the shuttle ride over.

Do?

Attitude's roughly

"Shepard, you're my best friend, and you're doing me a favor. But HOLY SHIT that was a stupid dick move. You owe me one for that, all I'm saying. Still, glad to see you again."

The best bit is at the very end, where Shep can admit that Eve's death was her fault. He not only forgives her, but does his best to make her feel less shitty.

Don't?

He is pissed.

Oh my sweet God, is that true?

This game gives me the vapors

Then of course, there's what happens if you choose to

Spoiler:

sabotage the cure

Spoiler:

The first time I heard about that was someone mentioning basically losing their shit because they felt absolutely awful about the confrontation with Wrex.

Which is exactly how you SHOULD feel. Sabotaging the cure is a seriously awful thing to do, and I really can't blame Wrex's character for being out for blood over it.

It's even worse for the fact that you can only make this happen by killing Mordin in cold blood.

Just... fuck. That game really punishes you for going the bad guy route.

Spoiler:

Not evil.

Just ruthless and long term.

Krogan have absurd birthrates and a genetic affinity towards being, well, homicidal psychopaths. Left alone last time, they ripped the galaxy seven or eight new assholes

Wrex might be able to make a new Tuchanka. One that doesn't threaten other species existence (unless they start something, in which case he's going to build a throne with their skulls. Good guy, but again, Krogan.)

Or he could die. Or fail. Suddenly, you're neck deep in krogan who have a lot of scores to settle and nobody keeping them from the whole "Eat salarian eggs" plan.

And if Wrex and Eve are dead? You can convince Mordin of exactly that. Mordin thinks of the genophage as a necessary evil. If Wrex and Eve are alive, well, it's enough of a chance the whole thing is no longer necessary. Not a guarantee, but his conscience won't let him sit until there's a sure bet. If they aren't?

Then Wreave will probably try to fuck over the entire galaxy in a generation or three, and nothing's going to stop him short of total annihilation.

Show Mordin that, and he's more than willing to go along with sabotage.

Spoiler:

It's a short term, short sighted "solution" to enforce the status quo. Fuck the Salarians.

Spoiler:

The Krogan have already shown once that they're willing to steamroll the rest of the galaxy for their own good, and it's not unreasonable to think they'll do it again. Wrex and Eve might unite them and make them into something better than they've ever been, but they could just as easily fail, or get assassinated by Wreav, or any other of a million different things and bam, war-mongering krogan empire that gives birth to ten babies for every adult that you manage to kill.

I chose to cure the genophage and I'm still not completely convinced I did the right thing.

Spoiler:

wreav is dead

Spoiler:

Yup, and they deserve the chance to try. If you choose to commit them to extinction, you are no better than the Reapers and the catalyst. Have a little faith.

Spoiler:

"I'm sorry," I'll tell the civilizations crushed under the heel of a brutal krogan empire, "they deserved a chance"

genocide:

OK sometimes

it's almost as heavy as an assault rifle and is substantially less powerful

if you're looking to keep your power cooldown low it's totally worthless

just use the mattock

I want to taste it

manwiththemachinegun · April 2012

Everyone keeps saying 'krogan extinction' when it's made very clear it's just Wrex being emotional. Shepard is not genocidal.

Spoiler:

It ain't genocide, never was.

According to ME2 it's the pre-war population growth standard.

It's not good, but it's not genocide. You know, like the Krogan dropping asteroids on Turian planets killing millions and ruining the land for a few billion years.

And what happens when king Wrex isn't around anymore?
