Whooosh goes the point I'm trying to make in favor of seizing on a detail that you left out/forgot to try to discredit what I'm saying about Infinite
Forget I even said that, Jesus
I actually edited the post to something completely different after I realized what you were getting at.
Oh well then just ignore that post because I was seriously mindfucked for a few minutes
I was like WAIT I JUST SAID THIS AND HE GOT IT HOW DID HE FLIP SO FAST
Sorry brah
edit: You still didn't get it, I have never been talking about the brainwashing because that is tangential to the actual point I've been trying to make
Which somehow did not make it into the bit you quoted
But I've made teh same point a couple times now so just read basically any post where I talk about how there's a difference between a weird, violent caretaker role that is a protector and a weird violent caretaker role that is a jailer, and Big Daddies are the first and the Songbird is the second because I'm done trying to elaborate on that point to have you ask me about brainwashing again
I've never been talkling about the brainwashing, the brainwashing is not the difference I've been harping on, it's just the one you've chosen to continue talking about despite me explaining how there's another change that makes a massive difference in the tone of the relationship even if superficially they are very similar

It was not my intent to annoy you! I find this whole discussion really interesting.
And if you are tired of the whole brainwashing bit, I will just say this and be done with it.
Your whole argument about the difference between a jailor and a guardian is valid.
But isn't the lack of brainwashing the reason for that difference?
Take away the mental conditioning of the little sisters, and you can bet the big daddies would be chasing them down all the time. The reverse is also true, with Lizbeth.

Not....really?
I mean for one thing the Big Daddies are capable of existing without a Little Sister around, they do it all the time
And even when one IS around, their mission is protecting, not imprisoning
Shit if they DID chase down Lil Sis it'd still come across, because of the way the relationship is portrayed, more like "oh shit where'd that fuckin kid go I know she's gonna get hurt" and not "that kid ran away again I gotta lock her up"
Which is what the Songbird is doing, literally
I just find this whole line of thought super flawed at best
I don't like the hoodie. It just looks schlubby as hell. Who goes around gathering a galactic strike force looking like they're just jogging down to the corner store for a pint of half and half

I thought readiness was entirely a multiplayer thing.
And man, did they make a big deal about getting 'the best possible ending' without multiplayer when it really amounted to nothing.
Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.

Whaaa?
That was the entire reason for the Big Daddy being made.
And I don't know how you just completely overlooked my point about how Big Daddies WOULD be jailors if the little sisters weren't conditioned the way they are.
Wanna get super pissed about the femshep dress? Look at the dress and shoes, it is a reskin of the hagraven reporter that you keep in the cargo hold.
I know!
Why the hell can't I have pants and a leather jacket?
Gotta admit though, my femshep looks super-cozy in her hoodie.
I think the two outfits should both be available to make and female Shepards.
Because damnit, sometimes manshep just wants to look pretty. Of course, sometimes he just wants to traumatise his crew, that's not important.

But it looked so good on Wrex

Either that, or Alliance ladies' T-shirts have got some built-in support.

That's the ending I picked
I had 5080 War Assets
And 98% Readiness
If I had played one round of multiplayer I would have gotten that

(Also, the sooner this one gets locked, the sooner I can go back to MP, so go nuts with the posts.)

Readiness yes your War Asset bar no

Whatever, though. I'll agree to disagree.
The thread is about to die, anyway.
makin' a huge abloo about nothing i feel like. but whatevs, you are free to not play games you don't want to play
re: mass effect3
i mourn for you poor femsheps and your not-leather-jacket
This is an entirely fair stance to take and like I said
Y'all wanna play it, more power to you and I really hope you enjoy it and I say that with no sarcasm or w/e
Me? I'll take a pass, maybe catch an LP down the line
sorry fem sheps but I
What the hell
Guess I gotta save for that now too
Important discussion topic for the new thread; What new powers should Prototype 2 have
I'm hoping for turning into a bulldozer

galactic readiness essentially says how much of your war assets are translated into actual assets.
50% readiness with 5000 war assets = 2500 filling up dat bar.
