From what we know from ME2 I think the vision more is connected with truning the Protheans into Colectors than with some message.

Wonder if it's mid-transformation.

Exactly these images are those which I consider as "Nice images from Ilos"
I mean images between al those "Nice images from Ilos" that took most of the vision. <_<

I doubt the beacon has anything to do with the actual transformation process.  For one, the collectors are not closely related to the protheans.  The collectors are a result of cloned generation after cloned generation.  What we see in ME2, is related to the protheans only in the deep depths of their DNA.  They didn't take protheans, put them in an oven for 3 hours and have a collector pop out.

Another reason, I doubt the protheans even knew about those experiments, or that they would be the primary focus of anything anyway.  If an attacker is hell bent on destroying your race, you don't send out warnings that they're going to experiment on you as well.  Its not like the reapers would be broadcasting their findings and methods.  All experimentation probably took place nowhere where someone could see it and turn it into a warning.

Any similarities from the beacons is probably just coincidence.  It seemed to pretty clearly represent an attack to me.

Tentacles comin outa their mouths....

Then why does that one beacon we run into in ME2, add more to the vision by including images of the Collectors?

Don't forget the one in ME2 apparently. It's been awhile I don't remember it showing collectors.

Alright, off to ME1, will be lurkin.

--------------
Envy
Prompted by a discussion sparked by Collider
--------------
It was early into the third shift on the Normandy. Tali was exhausted; she had been doing the work of three people, and she had worked nearly 20 hours. Ken and Gabby were off ship on the human Time of Joining. What was it...a honeymoon? she asked herself as she sat after grabbing some food.

She nodded a greeting. "Hello Miranda," Tali said, her voice tired.

"Long day in engineering?"

"Keelah yes," Tali said after having more of her paste. "Those two really do more work than I thought." She looked around quickly. "Nothing I can't handle, of course."

Miranda only laughed softly. "Of course not. Nothing is impossible for the perfect engineer." They laughed and ate in companionable silence for a moment. Finally, the commanding officer sighed.

"I envy you, Tali," she began as she set her utensils down.

Tali looked over at the brunette in shock. "W..What?"

"I do," she said again with a small smile. "When you first joined the ship, I wanted to dislike you. The Illusive Man had not planned on you, nor on what possible effect you would have on the Commander."

Miranda shook her head with a smirk. "He was unsettled enough with the revelation that one of the commander's oldest friends was the bloody Archangel."

"Really? That wasn't planned?" Tali asked.

The human answered, "Not at all. The initial plan was to keep Shepard as far away from his previous friends and contacts as possible. After the changes he went through when agent Vakarian joined the team, the plan was reconsidered." Tali tilted her head to the side in confusion.

"I noticed it on Freedom's Progress," Miranda said to the unspoken question. "And again when we found Garrus. His stance would shift slightly, and suddenly, the Commander Shepard that had saved the Citadel was in front of us. I figured out what was missing then."

"What was missing?" the engineer asked, her dinner abruptly forgotten.

Miranda took a sip of her drink, then answered, "Trust and Acceptance. I don't think either the Illusive Man or I had factored how important that was to the commander." Finally, Miranda looked up and stared straight into the quarian's eyes.

"And that is why I envy you Tali," she said softly. "For the longest time, all I have ever really wanted was to be accepted; to not feel like an outsider even among my own kind. And you had that with Shepard and Vakarian."

The human bowed her head. "I hated you for that. That you had what I wanted. And I didn't understand how you did it." She let out a laugh. "When in reality, I needed to learn how to accept myself, and trust others."

Miranda looked down at Tali's left hand, at the platinum band that was attached to the outside of her suit as a visible example of the actual ring worn inside the enviro-suit. The human reached out with her own left hand to grasp Tali's, and inspect the ring. Finally she smiled.

"I think I finally understand Tali" she said as she let go of the quarian's hand. And now the only thing I envy about you was that you learned it before I did. That you did not waste years learning such a valuable lesson."

Tali could only nod as she sat there, stunned. She saw Miranda smile at her before the human got up and moved off. It was then her mind finally understood what she had seen and what she had heard. She stood quickly and grabbed Miranda's hand.

"John taught me," Tali blurted out as Miranda looked back at her in surprise. "And I didn't understand until he was gone. Then he came back, and I understood."

She smiled, even though Miranda couldn't see it. Releasing the human hand, she gave Miranda a brief hug. When she released it, she grabbed the left hand again, smiling all the while.

"Congratulations to both of you," Tali said after a moment. "If you'll excuse me, it's time for me to get some sleep." She made her goodbyes, then headed up to deck one, where her man waited for her.

Tired as she was, it had been a good day.

Slightly shorter than the one posted in the blog.  Hope it is good enough Titanium.

The Prothean statues and the Collectors don't exactly match up. I'd assume that was a transformation that took after the main extermination.

I recall the statues on Ilos having similar tentacles.  Its certainly not a new way of depicting aliens.  I doubt they would have been that pretty by our standards though, not requiring the audience to look at them and deal with them on a constant basis allows Bioware to make them a little uglier than other races.

But out of there mouths....not like an octopus, but actually coming out of their mouths.

I haven't seen the scene in question in a long time, so can't say for sure, though I would guess that either Bioware made protheans look a little more like collectors than they intended, or the beacon was messed up in some way.

Does anyone here think that the vision in ME1 wasn't finished by BW?
We gained the cypher and the missing parts of vision from the beacon on Virmire and even Liara helped us but no matter what we did, it was still only chaotic images.
I can't even imagine how anyone could consider that as a message.

I think the message was supposed to be extremely degraded over the 50k years.  Initially, it probably greatly detailed the reapers and their tactics, as well as possible plans to try and save themselves.  Fast forward 50k years, and all we get is a barely understandable warning.

It translates to, "We'll make up a reason for this later.  Love, Bioware"

True, True though the images do show what looks like collectors attacking Proteans.

Also a link to another thread with an intresting fallout 3 pic.

That isn't even half of what Mass Effect goodies you can get as mods in Fallout 3.

However ported they may be...

Actually was posting what I found today, I have posted a few before. Also due to the fact they had two of Bioware's Supporting Squad members I fell it would help bring more attention to the modding community. Sorry for the delay was playing Surpreme Commander 2.

He made good points. The parrellels are there, not perfect, but there are definite similarities. The difference is in how the two characters react to the lives they've led.

Sorry can't talk about the differences or I'll be here all night and I still got a lot of throwing up to do.

Anyway I just got back from finishing Kotor.

It's given me ideas.
