Mass Effect: Garrus, Liara, Kaiden and Colonel Sanders in ME3
Posts
You're ready to go! Let's do this shit!
TIM can't control Shep, Shep breaks free of Cerberus, fires Miranda Hot-Pants Lawson and steals the Normandy 2 and goes off to do her own thing. TIM is mad, brings the full brunt of his infinite resources to bear to hunt down and capture/kill Shep.
And also, I am 100% in favor of Liara back on the team. She is my favorite squadmate and not just because she's Shepards lesbian girlfriend. I actually really like the character. Oh, and
They tried to bury us. They didn't know that we were seeds. 2018 Midterms. Get your shit together.
Perhaps he's become smitten with the dark passions of Jaqueline Nought's work, and has taken up poetry himself.
Your Seekers are not effective
Fuck you, Cuttlefish.
Therefore if he is chasing Shepard, that presumes of course that he hasn't been usurped somehow at Cerberus, then it is for the greater good.
Good or evil, everything TIM has done in ME2 and the expanded works has, ultimately, not only had good intentions but good outcomes. He's the ultimate pragmatist, the devious character who has already read the script. He doesn't need recognition, nor does he ever seem to want it. He just pulls the strings and dance my playthings dance as I manipulate everyone in the goddamn universe for my own purposes.
It makes zero sense for TIM to be indoctrinated, and if it turns out that is the case it will be an incredibly annoying letdown.
I was tempted for a while there to 'shop a picture of Hitler.
It's only Godwin if it's an argument, right?
Cerberus resources aren't so infinite at the moment.
They got fucked over big time after ME2.
*massage oil rains from the sky*
I mean there will be other games to make it less painful...but it hurts.
It's possible that he's left the organization and moved on to another means of saving humanity, either before or after the rank and file went all murderous.

Oh?
When/how did that happen?
if you ask EDE about it post-game it becomes clear that you have cleaned up the burning wreckage of literally every other Cerberus operation
Cerberus is like, TIM's butler and like one dude who was on leave when the rest of his cell turned into monsters and exploded

Now, they could have Cerberus attempt to just make another Shepard, which would have all sorts of awesome, fucked up implications.
I think Liara absolutely needs to be a major player, especially after LOTSB, but as far as squadmates go, she's nothing special. I'm thinking she's there only because she's one of two characters who are definitely alive.
Man, suck it up, at least you have a date. Look at me, still pining for a game that has yet to officially exist.
Sigh....one day.

While my heart bleeds for you, as I'm well aware of the sting of not getting sequels to games I want (Chrono 3), the above is particularly irritating because the company can't go a week without trolling fans by saying "yeah, we really want to make it, but...."
I keep thinking an announcement is right around the corner, and it's been that way for the last 3 or 4 years now.
That's one thing Western companies have over Japanese ones. None of this coy bullshit, they tell you straight up "dude, of course there's going to be a sequel" even when their last game is barely out the door.

Why wasn't there an option to let me kill both?

...have to do with if a certain squadmate will be available. Heh.

We also know that EDI is back and I'm assuming Joker as well. I expect an action packed intro sequence of escaping Earth as the fucking Reapers rain hell down upon it.

I think they'e going to have to focus much less on people's personal stories (at least the ones that could have died), and more on the main storyline. I suppose they could have full on sidequests for people that could not have died (Liara, Ashley, Kaiden, etc.) and just on ship interactions with the others. I just have a hard time believing that they're going to spend months of development on characters that might not even be there.
Having said that, I liked both the MA and DA series so far, so I'm not really criticizing them directly. I just hope that they can pull it off without being too deus ex machina. In my first playthrough Tali died, and in my second playthrough a year later or so Jack died (no big loss there), so they would really have to go out of their way to make any squadmate integral to the story itself. My theory is that the game is going to be much less about your party's story than the main story itself, with the exception of maybe Liara, Ashley/Kaiden, and new people.

I want my old crew and a few newcommers. They made an entire game about getting that crew together, now lets develop them further in ME3 damnit
Well the real joke is on them! I make sure to get Tali killed every time I play!
I don't really but I never used her (except when I had to)
Garrus and Ashley/Kaiden make sense as constant companions. They'll probably be the ones breaking us out on earth.

But see they know this - they KNOW this! They know that more than any other character everybody loves Garrus.
He's a dead man walking in ME3. They will never be able to resist it.

That being said...I've already made 8 characters anyway.
I'm doing 2 runs right now. One in ME1, and another in ME2, to get my perfect characters ready for the end game, and I'm contemplating a third run... Mass Effect is going to be the death of me.
EDIT: I suppose I should also mention that I'm doing variations of the same runs, where things are different, like some people die, and some people don't, and I romance different characters, so if I add those up, then I guess I'm doing something like five or six runs.
I thought I was the only one who was playing this game incessantly, creating different save games in anticipation of ME3.
This thread is like a support group.
why would you do such a thing!?
