 I completely hated the very slow moving elevators. So I asked myself this question why do I miss them so much. I came to this conclusion, it's because I feel like a choice has been taken away from. In ME1 if you didn't want to wait on the long elevator you could always take the citadel transit(except for the places that didn't have a transit center ahem noveria:pinched:) anyways you had the choice of the loading screen or the elevator. Once they took that choice away from me I felt slapped in the face.Now I'm just forced to watch a loading screen that isn't even all that appealing to me and I think that's why I miss the elevators so much.

One word: Nostalgia.

And if anything, elevators > loading screens. I never complained about them.

The elevators were a nice alternative and I often used them to hear the galactic news detailing "my" actions, which really added that choice element to the side quests. But the voice over was always much too short leaving those dull moments of nothing. If the news segments lasted as long as the elevator (or even better had a display ala the Emily Wong one in the Zakera Ward ME2) that gave you little videos to watch while travelling I'd really like it.

lol we have to remember old times =P

To be honest, sometimes I just take the elevators because I enjoy them so much... I dunno why people hated them so much. That's what happens when people come to forums just to complain without thinking things through.

Very true. I really hope we have them back in ME3, in an even better shape.

well I never really actually hated them, but those times you would go in them just to hear some banter or an journal update and your party nor the elevator says anything pisses me off. sometimes I ould pop ME1 back in just to ride the elevator

You'd need to bring Dr. Chakwas in there, too.

Another thing that i like about the elevators in ME1 was that you could do things while the game was loading the destination. The Normandy boarding chamber/cargo elevator would continue loading when you're anywhere in the mission computer (inventory, journal or codex) and as soon as you exited the menu the next area would load.



Now we're stuck with the same, boring loading screens during which we can't do anything.

I bet a lot of people don't know that.

Elevators enhanced immersion. With loading screens, and especially the Mission Complete screen popping up whenever it wants, the player is constantly kicked out of the ME universe.

 I didn't mind the elevators, I liked that your squad mates talked to eachother.  That's something I miss in ME2, the banter.  I know it's there, but your crew rarely interacts with eachother.  That's something I'd dearly love to see in ME3.

The elevators sucked. Good riddance.



More squad banter would be welcome though.

[Computer_God91]

I was one to never complain about the elevators, I play/played ME1 too many times to count and not once did I think to myself "Damn elevators!!!! I wish I didn't have to ride these!!!" but maybe that's because I'm a very patient person and I enjoyed listening to the squad and the news. I thought the Loading screens would be cool but they are kinda boring. Elevators are better because those loading screens are never different but elevator rides can be different in that if you have a different squad mate or finished a new quest then you can listen to something else.

You don't get nostalgia over a two year old game.

Please end the usage of this ridiculous reason.

BioWare shouldn't have listened to the whiners. If they want to put an elevator in place of a loading screen, do it.

I supposed for short elevator rides that don't give time to load it, like on the Normandy, a loading screen is fine. Plus, there's nothing interesting in that elevator.

But I didn't care how long it took to take the elevator from the docking bay in the Citadel down to the C-Sec academy. I got to hear a conversation, and there was something to look at.
