 Hey guys.  Got sucked into playing Mass Effect 0.5 Knights of the Old Republic.  Just got me a lightsaber! 

Edit:  And just in time for sweet, sweet, Elder Machines!

She kicked his ass hard.  It's just that Shepard, being a Lovecraft protagonist, can't see the forest for the trees AND can't really acknowledge the accomplishments of a woman except in bizarre roundabout ways.

See Rip all of that would require the average gamer to have to play through extra hours of game play that does not included blowing something up, shooting something  or killing something. That would we require the average game to sit through a pay attention a  plot and look a cuts scenes. We all now how the average  gamer can't do that because that requires the average gamer to think and engage in the story like we do in this form... Sadly the average gamer  can not do that and its the Average gamer that drives the bottom line.  

please excuse the sardonic nature of this post it is not  directed at you... I would to seem more of the  human element put into Mass Effect 3 but  all everyone else wants is the SHEPHERNATOR.... with a  bizillion guns and lasers shotting out his eye  balls and his nose hairs **** smacking reapers into oblivion....   

You know, the sign of a good artist/writer/game designer/whatever is to make the audience enjoy what they've got, even if it wasn't precisely what they expected/wanted.  BW sometimes hits that mark, so we can just hope they will with ME3.

  

@Rip as well   I know but sadly i am cynic  when it comes to these things. esp after you hear some of the idiotic things  people say.  IE  the whole 

If you have take LI in ME 2 your cheating on your LI from ME 1 that whole  topic makes my eye  twitch  *Eye Twitches*   

I  would love to see you relationship explored more in ME 3,   would love to see Shepherd  become more grounded as he realize what he is really fighting for .  I would love to see Shepherd staring down the ageless and immortal Harbinger in its real form(not the Giant   Calamari of Doom)  while it fades away  wondering how did  the Reapers lose.    This is a  eons old Cycle that we are ending I don't want random epic space battle  number 52...  But  I will have faith in BW  maybe they wont disappoint.

I agree.

And not just that. I want there to be problems too, you know... relationship problems. Dealing with Terra Firma jackoffs who hate on you dating Garrus... and Eden Prime Survivors who hate on Tali... insecurity... past relationships that will definately factor in if you had them... Thane's death and what to do with his son... Jack's need for revenge... Garrus's father, who I'm sure will finally make an appearance, and his possible disaproval... The Admiralty Board's reaction and Shala's... Liara's possible redemption... you have all of these things you can just springboard off of... things you and your LI can overcome together...

I just want there to be a very present "human" element involved. Breath some real life into it.

God, I would love to get Garrus' dad's opinion on matters.

I have no doubts we're going to meet him in 3.

Better idea... wouldn't that be some ****...

Remember how we thought it would be cool to have a Spectre take on Shepard as the antagonist? What if it's Garrus' dad instead? One of the best in C-Sec. Garrus has to get it from someone...

If Garrus is alive, he wants to save him from Shepard's influence, as he blames Shepard for Garrus becoming Archangel.

And if Garrus is dead... well... he wants revenge, of sorts...

That could be amazing... if done right...

Just a funny thought I had...

Hmmm...

True.

The chauvanism is... quaint.

Accurate, at least.

Must always be mindful of the time.

Still... She's badass, indeed. Especially for a Lovecraftian protagonist.

The contortions I'm making to imply romance while simultaneously denying it are phsyically painful at times.

Still, it works.

Or at least I think so.

Then again, I'm a sucker for romance and always want to see more, so I wouldn't listen to me.

The romping grounds are not orderly here.

Looking up from the journal, I saw that Miss Zorah and Inspector Vakarian had moved to peer through the small-paned window into the thickening mist. Both wore an attitude of careful listening, so I stilled myself to bend an ear as well. The night was soundless, the fearful town having withdrawn in upon itself, not a mortal soul stirring outside their doors now that darkness had fallen. In this silence I heard, first faintly then more distinctly, a great susurrus, as of the fluttering of innumerable membranous wings. I would have spoken, inquiring as to the source of the sound, but Miss Zorah raised a small hand, anticipating my question. Straining still harder I finally noticed at the very limits of conscious hearing the dull pounding of some great drum accompanied by the mad skirl of pipes, all seeming to emanate from the southern marshlands.

“Perhaps those Cossacks out on the moor,” the inspector muttered, though the music bore no resemblance to the traditional folk compositions that race made on bandura or tambourine. Unable to confirm or refute the supposition, I joined them at the window. There was, however, little to see in the fog save for a minute flicker to the south that might have been a bonfire. Even this vanished, however, as the solidifying miasma closed its grip upon the benighted village.

“Shepard,” Miss Zorah spoke, turning her hidden eyes upon me, “we may make our way safely now, I think.” At this, I reflected how the faint tumult of wings had passed and wondered again at the meaning of the village constable’s final, terrified notes. Perhaps fearful of being separated in the ever-thickening murk, she slipped a cool hand into my own as we followed Inspector’s Vakarian’s broad back out of the cottage. She needn’t have worried as the gathering gloom tended to limit our view only at a distance, and I had taken a small oil lantern from the constable’s office as a precaution against losing our way. All the same, I was glad of her caution, for I wanted no harm to come to her.

Our small band, thus prepared, hurried up the steep cobbled road to the pinnacle of the town. Once or twice we paused as a strange buzzing call broken the hush that permeated Greenmarsh. It seemed almost as if the noise was in imitation of speech, but this was not possible, for what could buzz in such a manner from so high aloft? Perhaps overly excited by the confused legendry the missing constable had filled his journal with, my mind shied away from the thought of what might soar above the town on this terrible night. Nothing, however, interrupted our pursuit of the inspector’s blurred outline as we approached the overlooking church.

First paragraph: ****.

Second paragraph: You really wish it was the cossacks...

Third paragraph: Yeah... I'd listen to the possible-Deep-One-witch as well, at least in this situation.

Fourth paragraph: Ah, willful ignorance... The hallmark of a Lovecraftian protagonist.

I dont' know if I'd want a team of them...

And while I think the Virmire Survivor is definately a Spectre... I doubt they'd go after Shepard like that... unless something happened.

I'd prefer a new Antagonist anyway.

Listening to Tali say "bubbles" was so freaking worth it though.

Tali taking a bubble bath would be freaking adorable...

You know, it's funny how Shepard asks all of these questions that, since this is the world he lives in, he should already know the answers to.
And, yes, I know it's for our benefit. I just find it a little funny that no one has ever called him out on it.
