Damn right we're a vocal community! And a divided and proud one at that!

BioWare fans have always been passionate, with this new influx of fans introduced from the modified genre of Mass Effect, that has only been expanded upon.  So what we have is a collection of highly passionate fans from different genre backgrounds all vying for their arguments to be acknowledged.

I don't think it will ever be possible to obtain any kind of consensus, because it's the same game game that unites us, but the same gameplay that divides us.  So we continue to discuss, debate and argue because hell, what else are we going to do until ME3 comes out?

All depends on the idea.

If someone could come up with an inventory/loadout system that both RPG and shooter fans would like, then something just might change as a result. Until then, it's the gameplay designer's job to find a solution.

Most older fans prefer mass effect 1 because it had a great storyline and many innovative RPG elements. While mass effect 2 gameplay was great, it lacked in the story department


I'm not sure if I would agree with that.

I've always found Bioware overall plots (especially Mass Effect) to be fairly generic (if nicely executed). But I've commended them for having much better characterization and dialogue than pretty much every other game series on the market.

Mass Effect 2 turned character interactions (largely via loyalty missions) into a much, much larger focus of the game than ME1. Which was the primary thing that made ME2 blow me away compared to ME1.


Yeah, I'm with you on that.  The conversations in ME 2 were more indepth to me.  As far as a sense of the Plot, I've ceratinly seen games with worse plots, and Bioware has done all right by me when it's come to their plots.  But I do have one question - do you dismiss those older fans that liked ME 2 more than ME 1?

To get this back on topic, this DLC does look interesting.  Again, it may not have been one I was hoping for, but at least it's not Shadow Broker yet.  I'd like to wait on that one until the end, if we could.  As to why, there are others on my wish list that I'd want to see first.  Shadow Broker, as cool as it would be, is not in my top 10.

I was here to **** about bugs but now I am just a meme machine

random inventory idea spam because it seems to fit current topic

Onyx Jaguar wrote...
They could add more armor/costume types/weapon finds (like they ddid with upgrades) in the environment. But what they can't do is the same as ME 1 which was pretty much a diablo clone inventory while missing the point. It would unbalance the game which they came a long way with in ME 2.

I tend to think of the whole crate and lock things are largely unnecessary in general. In ME1 there was waaayyy too many items Shepard could get, it clogged the inventory and most of it was useless crap. In ME2 I'm not a fan of the crates but at least it's not everywhere. I find much better would be getting items from defeating specific enemies - say you kill those mercenary leaders on Garrus' recruitment mission, you get one of their rifles. It's much more satisfying than opening some random box that for some reason has stuff in it for you to use.

Similar to DAO? Where when you kill an elite boss, you got there shiled, sword, staff, plate ect.


Onyx Jaguar wrote...
*OR* Bring back the licenses. For instance as rewards for missions you obtain a license for a set of items (armor customization and whatnot) and you use the private terminal to order such items.



kraidy1117 wrote...
I like that idea, we did that with the weapons, so Bioware could try that with armor and such, but keep ME2 system. It's not perfect but it's alot better then ME inventory *shutters*


Onyx Jaguar wrote...
The ME2 inventory system (loadouts) works nicely, but in comparison to lets say a Ubisoft Tom Clancy game (Ghost Recon and R6 use similar things) they could expand the loadout to include more weapons and costume selection.


etc...

Superman is dead in my playthrough, that logo is Supergirls logo. ^_^

But seriously I use text mod to extract the textures to adjust the colors and to slap on whatever else takes your fancy. I've seen other people do far more outrageous things. But I'm digressing..

Back to the Overlord, I hope this does have extra voice acting by other squad mates and hopefully there is a decision at the end that have some consequences, similar to the Kasumi dlc. No new weapons or armors with this is abit of a surprise. I would have though its a perfect time to add some.

For all the previous DLC haters for whatever reasons (some of which is understandable), if you dont at least give this one a chance, then you only have yourself to blame for soaking in your haterade. Unless ofcourse this turns out to be horrendous, then shame on you bioware. :P

Sold Mass Effect 2 weeks ago. According to Steam, I haven't played Dragon Age in months. And for the first time, seriously doubting if I will be buying BioWare games in the future.

Thanks for listening.

There's an easy way to satisfy both. Keep the ME:2 set up but pack ****loads of the same equipment all over the place, so you can carry around fourty vindicators and eight Vipers.

Well when you think about it , we are the "input" for future mass effect titles and/or other games like it , from time to time ideas may be plucked from this forum and intigrated into a game ^_^
