    That's it Speed, your mom is writing the next Mass Effect book. Somebody give Bioware a call.

    my mom thinks it's stupid that she has to pay for weapons and armor, she thinks people should just give them to her since she's trying to save the day

    it's always funny to me when she thinks something that gamers/mass effect fans also think

    Make sure she talks to the Normandy requisition officer, if she hasn't already, since Shepard asks the exact same question.

    he was the one person I forgot to include in the tour of the ship

    for the record, she immediately selected "Goodbye" on everyone except Kaidan.

    her attitude is so interesting

    like, she cares enough to bother doing this at all

    but she just doesn't take the game seriously

    it's pretty funny to see the perspective of someone who just doesn't tolerate the stuff that we tend to take in stride

    800 credits for killing a man

    Shepard can get more than that from busting open random civilians' wallsafes

    Speed, I apologize if this is too forward, and you can decline to answer if you want.

    How old is your mom? Like, is she roughly close to the technological leaps that came with the PC and advent of video games? Or is she older?

    I tried switching from the valiant to my mantis X for the decreased weight, but the reload time on the mantis is so long and having only one shot at a time is the worst

    i dunno if you guys have seen this

    http://narida.pytalhost.com/me3/classes/#00BAAAA

    it's a multiplayer class creator so you can see what all different builds you can make for each class/weapon combo

    pretty useful i think!

    That isn't possible.

    There's the Valiant, the Widow, the Black Widow and the Javelin, and all of those are better than that Mantis.

    I dont have the black widow, but I def like the mantis more than the vanilla widow, the reload time isn't as long, and it feels like the widow is refusing the shoot where I point some times

    Also it is super easy to get a mantis X which is more damage until you have I think the widow V? And the mantis doesnt fuck your cooldowns to hell

    the valiant is outright broken good

    and the widow, black widow and javelin are too heavy
    with the mantis X my salarian engineer / infiltrator can get 190% recharge rate and it is still a mean weapon

    If you join a game with the Valiant X equipped, the enemies spawn, see you, scream "VALIANT!" and run away

    I kinda wanna wean myself off the valiant because there is no way they're gonna let it stay as good as it is once the N7 weapons start getting wider release

    Udina

    My first reaction was that Udina and Liara couldn't have gone to college because of the disparity in age

    but then I realized Udina probably isn't that much younger than Liara at this point, and Asari probably start higher education somewhat later than humans since they take longer to mature

    Like, valiant I is competitive with any of the sniper rifles in the game.

    I'm not lucky enough to have a II yet, but just thinking about how much better most guns get once they clear V or so

    It must be horrifyingly broken.
