When he says in the beginning of ME 2 "Watch the arm", he was simply implying that his arms is his "life". He couldn't live if he lost his arms

Not people who particpated in the american educational system. Though physics is a required highschool course so you should be able to grasp the basic concepts.


Well, I took Physics in the Midwest, and grasped the basic concepts I hope ^_^

Here's a cookie for being smarter -gives cookie-

@Moronic Fool
Just amend my statement since where I lived Physics was required (basic of course).

How come Joker could shoot a gun without breaking his bones? Wouldn't the kickback and recoil haave broken them? Even more so with an ASSAULT RIFLE. What do you think?



Becuase the bones in his legs are brittle and not his entire body. (Or thats how it was in Mass Effect 1)

So I can imagine that shooting wouldn't be an issue. Now he might have fractured one or both of his legs running to the pilots seat.

Recoil can't be any worse than a modern 5.56mm assault rifle. He can kinda walk around so it isn't like he is confined to a wheel chair.

Recoil is supposed to be allot lower... heck it should be almost non existant. read up in codex how ME weapons work. There is no explosion inside the weapon involed like in gunpowder weps

but arent widow rifles and the krogan claymore shotguns supposed to be huge recoil?

i think joker might die if he fired one of those.

Joker has been vastly upgraded by Cerberus in the timespace between ME1 and ME2, or at least, that is what is implied. I reckon he's gotten a bone weave, or some other form of cybernetic upgrade, as previously mentioned by someone else.

are you sure? In ME1 he specifically said that it was his hips and legs, he doesnt need his legs to fly, and so on. I'm pretty sure it was only his legs


Vrolik's Syndrome (or Osteogenesis Imperfecta) comes in several varieties, and I suspect Joker to have type III or IV. I'm more leaning toward IV, as he doesn't display a lot of other symptoms, but he did say his case was 'moderate to severe'. In ALL forms of OI, the condition affects all the bones in the body. His legs might be worst because he's supposed to walk on them, but if he took a fall, his arm should be just as brittle as the rest of him is.

Regardless, the weapons in ME are supposed to have a really light recoil, if any at all in an upgraded weapon. Add the upgrades he's supposed to have received to that, and you'll find that he's perfectly capable of firing an assault rifle. Consider that he's able to walk in ME2, whilst he is not in ME1. Some magic must've happened, or he's been operated on and treated and stuff.

Which is good for us fangirls. It fuels our fanfiction.

I want ME1, now Image IPB


You have not experienced Mass Effect until you've played the first game. In my opinion, it's vastly superior to its successor.

Anyway -- this discussion has been held many times over in this thread. The fangirls there have a complete compendium on Joker and his awesomeness, so you might as well ask your next question in there.

Keep denying yourself that ME2 is far superior game.

I prefer ME1, Mesina. There are things I like about ME2, but I don't have a burning desire to replay that game unless there's a new DLC coming out. :/

I would hope that people that have played it and didn't like it, for whatever reason, are allowed to have an opinion. :P

But it didn't make any sense. AND he stillcould fly the Normandy away from the Collector base. I think that part didn't make any sense.


Yes controls that consist primarily of Holograms certaintly require alot of work and effort to move. Nevermind that EDI now unshackled could probably pilot a course to the relay safely with out joker for 1 run.

Joker is getting an exoskeleton with heavy armor, 2x rocket launchers on shoulders and 2x gatling guns. You heard it here first.

That bit of the cutscene was pretty silly. It would have been better to see the normandy open up a broadside (figuratively) than have the least equipped crew member playing rambo. Particularly since the pilot was needed to put as much distance as possible from the collectors base as quickly as possible.

How's he going to fly the ship with all that crap on?

Kelly should have double wielded assault rifles at the end!

As you might have noticed, EDI was handling things while Joker was in the airlock.  I'm pretty sure she can do the "go real fast in a straight line" maneuver.

Nobody had the heart to tell Joker that the gun he was issued was really a toy made by Nerf. If EDI had eyes, they would have rolled.

He was using Shepard's Cinematic Assault Rifle, not a real one. So it only fires blanks and looks pretty.

My own issue with him firing the gun is NOT him having a disease, but that the PILOT is playing Rambo when he should have his foot next to gas to step on it the very second Shepard gets aboard. Not only is the so-called best pilot in the galaxy putting himself in harm's way, but now the beat up and wounded crew has to hope to God the guy with the bum legs can run up to the driver's seat fast enough. I'm sure the developers thought the scene looked cool, but I was rolling my eyes and laughing my ass off the first time I saw. If it makes it to the movie that film is going to get skewered.

You forget that EDI had full control of ship systems when she got unshackled. She could fly the ship on her own if she had to. She just lacked the random factor having Joker at the controls provided.

Because the assault rifle is as powerful as a can of air spray and therefore has as much kick to it? ;)
