You know what's bad? Bioware was founded by doctors.

Seriously...

Not sure if serious...

It's funny because there's a doctor in ME1 who points out that he's a researcher doctor and not a doctor doctor.

I think you're missing the point. It is sci-FI... bioware does stay as accurate as they can to the real universe but obviously if they took the time to actually research absolutely everything, production on this masterpiece would be very long. For the sake of story and gameplay, they have every right to overlook or change small details. Why question it as much as you have? Let your mind fill in the blanks. Use your imagination. Im not insulting your intelligence. You're a biology major. That's great. You appear to be very knowledgable in the area. Congratulations. I just don't appreciate when people constantly try to poke holes in by far the greatest series ever...

The doctors don't write the games.

edit: And it's sci-fi. Stop trying to make sense of it, trying to make sense of it leads to madness. Just enjoy.

I know that, you sponge cake. I just want to mention it in a pecuilar way.

What? inaccuracies in my video games? I demand a refund how dare they sell me a work of fiction with scientific inaccuracies how am I suppose to finish my Masters degree when I use this material for my thesis on immune biology in mammalian life forms.

[Zelnik]

Justin, I love this game, it's the best sci fi series since Star Control 2.

That does not mean that it should not be viewed and scrutinized. These are SIMPLE things, that could have been EASILY fixed, especially the "weak immune system" and "skin in a vacuum"

These-are-important-to-get-right!!!

I really don't know enough about all the medical stuff that you were talking about so I'll take your word for it, but why does it matter? These are really minor things when you think about it. Unless your a doctor and know a whole lot about this stuff you won't notice or care and hell even if you are a doctor and realize this stuff why would you care? Its a game, thats all and how do you know aliens look just like us? >.>

[JustinTR]

For you? Apparently. For everyone else, we think about HOW they are able to do those things. It is both the future, and fiction. But most likely just for the sake of looking basses. Either way, I decide to create my own reasons until it is explained further

Btw that's supposed to say badass.... droid correct ...

Seriously.. must everything in science fiction have four limbs, two eyes, one nose, boobs, and...oooo blue skin..

There are several explanations for that in the games and books. Like:
Evolutionary probability; most effective form.
Reapers influenced the evolution of all advanced species.

A video game not being real? Shocking.

Everyone saying "oh it's sci-fi, it doesn't have to be correct"...er do you understand what science fiction is? Most science fiction actually strives for technical accuracy. Though much less so outside of novels, that's for sure.

Secondly, while you might think these are minor points, you can't seriously say they shouldn't be fixed, right? Mistakes are mistakes.

Point 6 however is not a mistake. That's a space opera conceit, and aliens that looks like that could technically exist.

Point 5, maybe they could have some superduper invisible environment suit. But come on, you guys all know that Bioware didn't think of it that way. They were simply lazy. Seeing blatant laziness knocks people out of immersion.

Want something more impossible? FTL travel. Or "Element Zero".

I can only presume you were implying Garrus is going to bake the turian equivalent of cookies. Yes, of course.

Firstly, these are the core conceits of the universe.

Just because you have 1 impossible thing does not mean you can do whatever the hell you want. Realism is not all or nothing. The more unreal things you add, the less immersive your universe becomes. You have to balance Awesome Cool Stuff with Realism, so you have a mix of both.

If you mix Realism with Awesome Cool Stuff, people are likely to just accept the few unrealistic things. Eezo is a brilliant core conceit because with only 1 unrealistic premise they can cover a lot of Awesome Cool Stuff.

The more the balance tips towards complete realism, the more 'boring' scifi can become. The more it tilts towards "whatever looks cool", the less immersive it is.

Limits are good for design. They force you to really take the time to make something good, and to show creativity within that framework. Anyone who has worked in a design profession can tell you that.

No way! A space opera with scientific inaccuracies. Blasphemy!

Thank you for calling it a space opera instead of generalizing it to all science fiction! :happy:  It galls me when people do that, as if Star Trek/Star Wars type stuff is the sum of all SF.
