    That's one thing I've noticed, Tali's Drone is different from Shep/Legion's and is also named (Chatika vas Paws). Does it have different stats as well?

    You know how those Quarians are with machines.


    Honestly, the fact that she NAMES it makes Shepard want to shoot her. Dumb bitch, knows nothing about her people's history apparently.

    Naw.

    Main difference is Shepard's drone is blue, Tali's purple, and Legion's orange
    . I guess it was just to add a personal touch to them.

    This is actually one of the more interesting things about Tali, and it's hinted at in the first game.
    Shepard realizes almost straight off the bat that the Morning War was primarily a result of quarian aggression and paranoia, and Tali shows herself to have internalized quarian propaganda about the geth as the eternal enemy of all organics, demonizing them far beyond what they should be. It's not her fault, of course - she lacks any and all perspective needed to know any better - but it's still an interesting character flaw that isn't talked about very often by her fans.

    It only gets worse when you find out that the geth are basically an enormous race of Wall-E.

    Just picked up the two seasons of JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED on DVD, and aside from rocking real hard, the show also has a whole bunch of Jennifer Hale in it. Zatanna the magician is her main role but she does several side voices, too. These were from 2004-2006, so before ME1, but she had already done plenty of work in BALDURS GATE and PLANESCAPE.

    JLU does have an impressive lineup of voice talent. John C. McGinley, Jeremy Piven, Peri Gilpen, Ed Asner, Michael Ironside, Michael York, Joanne Whaley, Fred Savage, Michael Beach.

    They didn't squash humanity because it'd make for a pretty boring mass effect game


    I'm sorry, but can we just put an end to this line of reasoning? There is literally no fun in discussing things if people just wanna go

    "Well, it didn't happen because otherwise we wouldn't play the game"

    Let people have their fun discussing things, man.

    This whole "Well, than the game wouldn't happen" line of reasoning is just like being that kid at the park who takes his ball home.

    Err? It was a joke? Seriously, you didn't even quote the entire line "They didn't squash humanity because it'd make for a pretty boring mass effect game, "what's that? no human to stop saren? the end.""

    Essentially, I was saying here's how the mass effect game would be without humanity in it. (aka, a series of short cutscenes)

    Scene 1:

    Citadel, business as usual. Shot of Turian councillor arguing with everyone else again "Ah yes, "humans". Good thing we destroyed them."

    Scene 2:

    Saren warps into the citadel and gets Sovereign to let the other reaspers into the galaxy.

    Scene 3:

    Reapers eat everything.

    The end.

    Koris is great even if he's a jerk because he actually realizes that after 300 years, they should try maybe peacefully talking to them instead of always preparing for an invasion that never happens because it is not at all feasible.

    That French-sounding doctor really dug him, so I suspect that Garrus was having plenty of, um, adventures without Shepard.

    ...Nihlus serves the role of the badass redshirt.

    Like Buttcleft said, he's basically there to show you how real shit has become. Yet no matter how awesome he is...he's still a redshirt.

    So, Sovergin had sex with everyone in that certain part of the citadel? (Like "The beast with the Billion bucks" from futurama)

    Because there still has to be something organic involved. Right?

    Or IS the citadel a reaper?

    I'm always surprised you never run into any other awesome Spectres, but then I remember you're in space and there's like a few hundred.

    Also they serve the Council and the running theme throughout all the games is the Council sucks. I was a little disappointed how little the end-game choices of ME1 affect things though.
