Mass Effect thread

Zaeed’s stories are pretty badass

actually, this whole thread brings me back…

Bioware could make a good spinoff with him :slight_smile:

Zaeed is a boring piece of shit, maybe I would have liked him if they actually let you speak to him. After you do his mission you totally forget he exists.

The two DLC characters are like that. Apparently ME3 will have them more fleshed out.

that trailer wasn’t really a “gameplay” trailer to me - that is they cut and edited it so much that it’s more like a cinematic, and it doesn’t answer my burning question this time - is the A.I. any better? will it still get itself murdered if you don’t walk it around on a leash?

i was really happy with what they did with the classes in ME2 - rather than just make them different combinations of combat/tech/biotic, they fleshed them out to really differentiate them, so that infiltrator was a much better assasin-style character, and vangaurd was 10x more badass as a close-combat fighter. but what i didn’t like was that the classes that didn’t have a “combat” focus (adept, sentinel, engineer) were slow and ineffective on hard mode; not that it was super-challenging, but just that you had to grind down enemies’ defenses with your weak weapons/long cooldown powers before you finally could throw them off cliffs (and on easy mode it was too, well, easy - just zap/burn/or toss them and win in a couple seconds). and you couldn’t count on high-power AI buddies to compensate for the lower damage capabilities.

but all of this was still a major improvement over the ME1 mechanics, so I basically just hope that they keep going in an upward direction with the AI and combat balance.

oh, and paragon, ashley, infiltrator. (though i may go back to an ME2 save and strike up a romance with Jack, because i really want to an Ash/Jack showdown.)

^ my shep btw since people were posting theirs
im doing a male one rn and ill post him when i get back to me2
the only reason i like these games
aww yea
also because you can fuck garrus (i fucked garrus)

I found Vanguard to be pretty frustrating on the harder difficulties. I felt so ineffectual. Charge is useless unless there’s only one enemy because the other enemies will tear you apart by the time you finish chewing through the first one’s defenses. Your weapons are all close range, leaving you with the same problem. It might be an interesting challenge for some, but for me it just wasn’t any fun.

In fact, a lot of the offensive biotic powers kinda annoy me too, since they don’t work on enemies with defenses. Once you’re done stripping away those defenses with your guns, it only requires a few more shots to take down the enemy since they have little actual health, making biotics useless to me. It’d be nice if more of them were like warp and could help take down armor or shields. I usually just play soldier, since the variety of weapons seems much more useful than powers. However, for my extra power I usually do go with a biotic power, Barrier. Cools down quick, casts instantly and really helps keep you alive in tight spots.

I didn’t like Zaeed at first but he grew on me after a while.

Zaeed’s stories are all about how he killed him and her and how he’s so great at killing. Bored me to death.

See? He’s that good at killing people.

I lol’d.

I’ve lost count how many Shepards I’ve made. Most of you say you’ve made or are going to make 1 or two, try at least 15. But hey, at least I’m getting more than my money’s worth with it.

I’m wondering, is this a batarian or krogan “husk” ? Or maybe both…

Definitely not Krogan. Could be Batarian, though.

That’s definitely a Batarian head. I’m assuming because of it’s larger size it’s some sort of scion, only with meshes of various other aliens with it. Husks creep me out anyway.

Kasumi was insanely broken (read: insanely overpowered) though.

Batarian. I really don’t see any krogan in there. I’m thinking this is kind of like a batarian version of the Scion (since you can see a bunch of heads attached to its fleshy mass)

Batarian. My friend and I were talking about ME3 when I said “Will it husk?”

and we spent the rest of the day thinking various characters from other games that might be husk-able.

asari tits

the face is batarian, hence multiple eyes stacked on top of eachother, though you can also see a face that is very human looking kinda where the shoulder would be, so considering husks are pretty much genetic experiments anyway, i wouldn’t be surprised if there is some krogan in there too

tards

also husks arent genetic experiments

Didn’t even know they had an article on ME3 enemies yet. But it’s just Husks and Cannibals right now. I am disappoint.

and blue suns, eclipse mercs and batarian scum
just like in me2
