Mass Effect is an award-winning, bestselling series of science fiction RPG third person shooters developed by the Canadian company BioWare and released on the Xbox 360 and Microsoft Windows. The first game takes place in the year 2183, with the player assuming the role of an elite human soldier named Commander Shepard, set out to explore the Galaxy on a starship, the SSV Normandy. The Xbox 360 edition was released worldwide in November 2007 published by Microsoft Game Studios. The Windows edition was released on May 28, 2008, published by Electronic Arts. The first downloadable content package, Bring Down the Sky, was released on March 10, 2008 (with a PC version released on July 29, 2008) The second downloadable content package, Pinnacle Station, was released on August 25, 2009 for the PC and Xbox 360.
Features:
No startup movies
Infinite "Storm" AKA Sprint
Modified Krogun - 6 shot magazine, 24 spare ammo (40 after research upgrade), semi-automatic, high speed ROF.
Modified Widow - 6 shot magazine, 24 spare ammo, semi-automatic, high speed ROF (same as krogun's).
The ME communication device is Quantum Entanglement, aka ansibles. The story in the article is not about Entanglement, it's about Quantum Superposition. Superposition is when things happen like a piezoelectric is vibrating and not vibrating at the same time, or a single photon of light appears to pass through two different slits in a barrier at the same time.
Nuzak is sorta right, except imagine that the ball also changes color, and you know that whatever the color of the ball is in your hand, the ball you left behind will also be the opposite color.
Yeah, superposition doesn't have any theoretical potential for communication that I'm aware of. Unless you want to get two different messages at once
From my limited understanding, the potential in superposition is for quantum computing. If your computer is in multiple states simultaneously, it can perform multiple operations simultaneously.
I want to see a ME3 superbowl commercial with CMD. Shepard in a chair talking about the game, getting into it with the director about "Debbie does Dallas + Star Wars= ME1" and a renegade interrupt.
Man, the wait for ME3 is going to be terrible. Even now I'm sitting here imagining all the awesome things that are going to happen, and all the awesome things that I want to happen
I want to visit Earth and Thessia and Palaven and Rannoch and I want the whole gang back together and I hope we get to lead our own army and I hope we get to uppercut a Reaper to death and I want a Pony and..........
This, at least, is pretty much guaranteed. In the comments on the Kasumi DLC, Casey Hudson mentioned that the series would eventually visit Earth is some form or another. I'm hoping it's something epic, but not at the end of the game. The end of the game should be about the universe, not just humanity. Except maybe for renegades.

And I hope they do justice to our fair planet.
I'm guessing Earth is going to be a major hub world in ME3, but to do it justice it's going to have be a huge hub with a lot to explore and they are going to have to reveal it in just the right way.

Isn't Earth like, really messed up in the ME universe?
Kaiden talked about how his parents had a property that "matured" into water-front thanks to global warming. Plus the pollution, and crime problems and poverty in the cities.
Earth isnt under the control of the Systems Alliance.
Earth Nations control everything on the planet, probably up to standard orbital heights.
The more advanced nations are kind of like the citadel, with slums worse than the wards.
The less advanced nations are not much different than earth today, replete with all the pollution and disease that goes with it.
battlemaster urdnot wrex's iron fist is doing an adequate job without shepard's help
anyway, omega
i'll admit my mind was blown a little bit when i got the hints that aria was the same asari who almost brought down wrex before
just want that to be a conversation option so bad
just have shepard sit down all casually
"wrex is well"
"what?"
"nothing"
yes, that was so awesome
anyway, re: harbinger being a pushover - i'm playing on normal, not easy. i haven't been hit by his slow-moving thingies ever. this has cemented in my mind, however, the need to play on a harder difficulty next time :P

So, is there no way to do it with Morinth? Fooled around with all the interactions, I don't see any way. I am disappoint.
So, how about that Baldur's Gate game? I hear its pretty good.
well about the morinth sexing ...
You can, but you die, so it's not a smart move. Just youtube it, it's easier than doing the conversations properly to get the option to die via mind rape.

Yeah, plus the ME1 planet entry (and probably the ME2 planet entry as well) said shields were needed because of all the tons of debris in low orbit. The Kasumi DLC info mentioned that the Statue of Liberty and Michelangelo's David are in a private collector's keeping, so the place has probably been more or less looted.
But! Home's home, and even run down, abused Earth has charm.

Summary:
Oh hey Shepard wanna do it? Cool, touch foreheads, let me just roll my eyes back in my head like a shark aaannnd WE'RE GLOWING NOW OHMYGOD and you're dead. GG, Shepard.

I didn't realise he had a slow-moving knock-out-of-cover attack until I switched to insanity.
Come to think of it, I didn't even realise exactly what warp and concussive shot did on normal other than "Oh, it's an extra power to throw at mobs".
In other words, I was happy enjoying the story on normal. But ME2 is so worth a second playthrough just to crank up the difficulty and truly appreciate the combat mechanics.
You can change the difficulty mid game. Just click it over to insanity.
Insanity isn't bad really, as long as you don't make very many mistakes you can win most fights on the first try. The 'hard' fights simply require you to make little to no glaring errors (like don't miss more than 20% of your sniper rifle shots for example), and use good judgment on what to kill first.
You don't need insane reactions or to be able to shoot like an aimbot or anything. The hardest part is really knowing how to deal with stuff trying to get into melee with you.

Maybe change the move poster to Mass Effect TOO or just add it
Nobody reads it anyway, too much effort for Lazy, Lazy me.
I don't read it, but people seem to get uppity if you stray from the convention
And as far as Quantum Entanglement goes, I can explain it in one word.
SORCERY.
Let me guess you went with Complexion number 1? Or are you just talking about the weird smiles?
and he will smell
OF GREATNESS!

Nah, I just thinned out the lip width too much, now my new Shepard looks like he's frowning judgmentally at everything.

What am I missing, then? Do you need 100% persuade or some shit? I'm at like 95.
Youtube for videos if you're curious and can't wait to see what happens.
It looks painful.

No no no, replace the Bears with Rachnii and replace the Russians with Krogan.
As I said before, Shepard should unite the Krogan masses under the iron fist of Battlemaster Urdnot Wrex!

Yay new thread. BOO TO CANON ME2 ROMANCE WTF WAS THAT?!

You mean Rasputin Shepard, with the way he survived and have fun with the ladies...:winky:
Can't be done with the ME character creator.
