    Oh, wait, I just realized that James and Cortez have been secreting away bottles of Mescal.

    Those assholes could have offered to share, at least.

    in other news they are working on fixing the stagger problem turians and batarians and krogan have but it's not a thing they can do in the weekly balance changes so it'll require a patch

    but it is on the way, which means they are working on another patch

    I think it's silly to debate who has "olive branch duty"

    in the middle of a reaper invasion it is everyone's responsibility to get their shit together

    And pretty much nobody but Shepard does.

    The turians do better than the average, but the asari fail enough to wreck the council's average.

    though, you know

    the geth did make contact with Sovereign years before Shepard

    coulda

    coulda recorded that and leaked it on the extranet or something

    Fair enough.

    Still, it would've been nice to know that I could turn my back on the kids for five seconds, without having to worry about them stealing the keys and crashing my car through Mr. Legion's front window.

    that would require the geth to be something other than lazy and amoral

    Let's be fair here.

    Nobody believed Shepard about the Reapers, and that was after he killed one of the fuckers.

    An anonymous extranet link to a sinister voice file probably wouldn't have tipped the scales one way or another.

    Robots are definitely amoral

    This is different from immoral

  • AntimatterAntimatter Devo Was Right Gates of SteelRegistered User regular
    for example

    Shockwave, is amoral

    You know, for a guy who prides himself on knowing a lot of words, I don't seem entirely clear on what a lot of words actually mean.

    even more idle DLC thinking
    there was a rumor about a new asari sentinel kit (sabotage, dominate, defense matrix) teased with the word "eclipse"

    that with the omega files in the leviathan DLC would lead me to think that yes the next multiplayer DLC will be omega-based, with the new kits being from merc groups
    also there was a rumor about more turians

    so here's what I'm thinking: eclipse asari sentinel, two blue suns turians (probably engineer and vanguard), and a blood pack krogan (adept? inclusion of slam?)

    dunno what other species were associated with eclipse. wasn't it just asari and humans? since I have no basis for this why not I'd like to see an eclipse drell infiltrator and a blood pack vorcha soldier to fill out the set

    then the next DLC, if it ever happens, can have a drell, a vorcha, two salarians and two batarians
    every alien will have four kits like the quarians

    eclipse is asari/human/salarian/mechs

    blue suns is turian/human/batarian/mechs

    blood pack is vorcha/krogan/varren

    The fact that there is not a Drell Infiltrator build yet continues to perplex me.

    Man, I would settle for a class where you could have a varren as a pet.

    Krogan Beastmaster or something like that.

    There were a few Salarians in Eclipse, but I think they just showed up during the Archangel mission.

    The correct response would be to just post a picture of him.

    It's been a long time since I played that mission, Tal. Okay, so there were some enemy combatant Salarians too. They were the engineers, right?

    I did Bring Down The Sky
    It wasn't bad; just, you know, more ME1 stuff

    Always nice to shoot up some batarians though, especially since this Shep is the Butcher of Torfan

    Spoilers just in case I guess
    I let Balak go
    I know I'm supposed to be Renegading but blowing those people up was a bit much for me

    Plus I know he comes back in ME3 so I'll just fix the problem then

    That'll come back to bite you in the ass. Call yourself a renegade? You make me sick.

    So about Balak in Bring Down the Sky

    ME3 spoilers
    Does he show back up if you arrest him, or only if you let him go? Obviously he doesn't appear again if you kill him

    pistol cranial trauma mod, geth plasma smg vii, guerrilla gear (sniper/smg damage)

    this is the worst premium spectre pack in the history of the universe

    Just finished it. The ending is fine, what the fuck was all the bitching about?

  • WybornWyborn GET EQUIPPED Registered User regular
    You are a fast player Tube.

    You should install the Extended Cut now.

    Which ending did you pick? Red, Blue, or Green?
    When you install the Extended Cut, do not shoot the Catalyst, it acts as if you reject all the choices and throws you into the "no fuck you I'd rather go extinct than go along with your horse shit" ending

    I chose green. I guess I played leviathan though so maybe thats why it made more sense to me. Probably not though. It's just a good ending. I mean, I figured the rage would be overblown, but wow.
