Honestly, my only annoyance is the lack of armor and the high heels for squaddies. I love Miranda but in a fight, just put some light armor on.



Also the masks in low atmosphere settings. At least give them the mask Joker wore when the SR1 went down.



And finally, the different guns in cutscenes. My Soldier Shep shouldn't be waving around that miserable little SMG when he's packing a Phalanx, same goes for the squaddies.

I am sad panda

I notice clipping it just doesn't bug me a whole lot.  The only time it really "took me out of the game" was Tarak, because it was half his face.

How does it not bug you?  It's right up in your face 70% of the time like it's part of the game.

Specially shared animations, like a turian reaching for his ear piece and clipping his whole forearm through his collar.

It's like I'm watching a bad movie and the bad special effects are replaced by the actors clipping with their equipment and environment.

Bolded how I view it.

I like plenty of movies and TV shows with bad special effects.  As long as I get what they're trying to do with the effect and the story or gameplay is not compromised I really don't care that much - unless it's really glaring like the Tarak example.

That being said, the texture pop-in on the 360 version of Mass Effect 1 was really jarring.  So maybe I can't explain it.

Except Bioware has no excuse because they're not a small movie director with a limited budget. They should spend more time working on some decent animations rather than pumping out random DLC nobody but the most hardcore of fans care about.

I'd much rather have Lair of the Shadow Broker than a patch fixing clipping.  By a factor of a million.  Now the appearance packs and weapon packs?  That's different.

Granted I'll accept that they really ought to do better on an issue like clipping - for the reasons you state - it's just that I personally don't really mind.  Same way I imagine most people don't care that - like in my original post - Shepard's crew doesn't call him captain.

The fact that English has become the default standard galactic written language wherever you go. I mean really BioWare - would an Asari university on an Asari world give its graduates their diplomas written in ENGLISH? Its bad enough with the 'electronic' tape written in Engllish but everywhere you go pretty much everything is written in English.


Note; I am English but it really bugs me that even in 'remote' locations signs are in English.

Yeah, that's always bothered me a little bit too. Even if English had become the universal language of humanity (also unlikely) why would the other races of aliens adopt the language of the galactic newbies? Just a nitpick, though, and I can happily ignore it.

As for the clipping. I hardly noticed it in ME2, sure there's a couple instances, but overall I thought it was better than it was in ME1 (the Volus drove me nuts in ME1). It's just one of those things that I overlook because it's so commonplace in this medium. It's just like continuity errors in movies, you know they're going to happen no matter how careful the filmmakers or game designers are, and unless they're really glaring, you just learn to turn a blind eye towards it to better appreciate the film or game.

I think I can forgo the 2 hour DLC for a polish of the game.  If this game had a modding tool, it would be perfect, but that's never happening or Bioware wouldn't be able to sell it's precious armors/weapons they decided to cut out before release to sell for an extra buck.

Contrary to popular belief, extended amounts of clipping ISN'T commonplace in most games, especially not in cutscenes.

I can only turn a blind eye so many times before I start to wonder what the hell the test team was thinking.

As for the English, it's been explained that everyone has a translator of some kind, much like how Shepard learned Prothean, they just "know" the language and hear it in their native tongue.  But don't quote me on that, I can't remember if I read that from the wiki or a codex.

I will second the silly masks needing to be replaced. Shepard wears a helmet, why doesn't anyone else?



Sometimes we're in toxic environments, which I'm pretty sure would be painful to my squadmates. Theoretically it wouldn't kill you to wear something like that in a vacuum (assuming there is enough air to not freeze you to death very quickly), but it would be incredibly uncomfortable. It may asphyxiate your skin, given enough time. In any case, I wouldn't try it, there's a reason space suits cover every inch of skin.

[smudboy]

I'm sure someone else already mentioned this, but when Shepard finishes talking to someone in any context (directly, or on a mission), their head will still remain pointed in that direction while running or walking. It looks hilarious.

Also, what happened to their walk cycle? When did Shepard get a limp?

Also, when you look at Samara when she's meditating, or other characters in some levels, it looks like everyone's a few inches off the ground.

There's this thing called pressure that keeps your insides from expanding.  There's none of it in space.

First thing that would happen is your skin starts to feel like it's expanding or you got a really bad sunburn.
Immediatelly after that, your blood starts to boil due to the quick change in pressure,
and you promptly and mercifully die as your blood vessels start to pop (including those in the brain).  Along with your eyes and lips.
And finally, all of your organs turn to mush as they explode from within.

The little scene when the Normandy explodes and Shepard goes flying off into space?  That's his suit getting depressurized and all of the above symptons begin to happen.

When they found Shepard, he really was a pile of meat.

Well with Jack and Samara you could say that they're generating some sort of Biotic field to protect them (same goes for Jack shrugging off bullets with nothing but a couple of leather straps), but I agree, that in every other case it's fairly ridiculous. I know they wanted it to look futuristic and all that, but ME1 still managed to pull off that look and everyone got proper helmets.

Eyeline.

In a number of cut scenes, people are looking at the wrong angle in relation to where the person they're conversing with is standing off-camera. Bugs me to hell. It's not a hard thing to get straight.

I would very, very much like an "Investment Opportunity added to those on the Shadow Broker's ship entitled:

"DIVORCE: Anonymously help fund Conrad's wife's start at a new life."

[Edit]:  And then for added hilarity...

"FAILURE!  Conrad was too busy saving the galaxy to attend the court hearings.

• That Shepard was never promoted to Captain following the victory over Sovereign
• Female characters wearing combat outfits that are sexy but impractical (ME2)
• Shepard's horrible dance moves
• Calibrations
• Shepard needing to be almost full paragon or full paragon to successfully diffuse arguments between crew members in ME2: The system should tabulate total points, so that doesn't punish players that are paragades, renagons, or true neutral (more of a major gripe)
• Joker's silly disease: I can't believe any military organiztion would let someone as frail as him pilot a starship. He is a liability
• No Turian or Volus females, and the only Elcor female was in an advertisement

[Liec]

Smaller pop-ups would be nice.

[Anacronian Stryx]

Cut scene powers that is far from what the character can actually do in the game - Like Jack taking out 3 Ymir's and all that silly biotic flying going on.



Paragon/renegade system.



Not using the right weapon in cut scenes - i swear my Sentinel used two weapons that she cant use or don't have just to fight the SB.

This. And don't forget Kasumi jumping to that aircraft.
I'd like people we met were more normal and less superheroes. It doesn't fit well in the mass effect universe, seems more fantasy than scifi, imo.

[upsettingshorts]

Here's more of a silly demand than a nitpick. Even though I like Jack Wall's scores of ME1-2, nothing suffers from being scored by Explosions in the Sky.



So my silly demand: Mass Effect 3 scored by EOTS!

This.  And masks

Personal theory: Someone on the Mass Effect development team is a fan of Miles Vorkosigan

[ladyshara]

Oooh, thought of another one. Having to click on a terminal instead of getting to the shop menu by talking to the shop keeper. Minimal thing but I thought it was weird.

[yummysoap]

I don't see how Cerberus can reanimate a corpse but they can't fix Joker's bones.
