So he wasen't in that last Topic with the rest of the mobs that were mass insulting Zulu? Oh well if that's... Wait a minute right there! He was! Than after that's locked he says "Screw what the Mods think, I'm remaking that Topic anyway so I can spite Zulu more!" and lo and behold here's this Topic that's meant to do just that.[/quote]


He even mentions that he thinks it was 'hilarious' than he has the nerve to say he wants things to be 'civil' after he just made an uncivil insult in his first post aagainst Zulu.[/quote]

1. The following have been confirmed to return permanently:
Kaiden Alenko, Ashley Williams, Liara T'Soni, Garrus Vakarian,  Tali Zhorah vas Normandy. All of them have several variables connected to their person.

To be fair, I make fun of Midget everytime I post anything anywhere, its in my sig. But he does deserve it. :P

Really?  Come on, this is just silly now.
All ME2 squadmates are integral to the plot. The whole game revolves about  Shepard finding them. ME1: Wrex and Garrus make no sense as to why the join you, Tali is an obvious plot device, Ashley makes little sense.


Actually, no. While Garrus and Wrex have no real purpose there is an option to not even take them. Due to popularity in Garrus, failed non-critical to story LI, is now inegral. Yet, my LI, perhaps gets a less than meaningful cameo because she/he was less important. Same goes for Tali, hasn't added anything to the main story line since beginning of me1.


As likeable as they are, popular LIs should not take priority over any other LI.

a. Garrus : Subtle morality background (black and white) that is all over the game (Cerberus, Geth morality etc.)
b. Tali: Introduce Geth/Quarian conflict, confirmed to be dominant in ME3.
c. You are not forced to take them. Even if ME3 doesn't give you an option.

So I'm butthurt because I would rather have Mordin and Miranda over optional sex objects? Your solutions mean nothing because they basically go down too...

"Either you get Tali or Garrus and deal with it or just deal with missing a bunch of content in ME3. Don't worry about the rest of the ME2 Red ****s or Wrex though. They'll get those unimportant cameo's that aren't needed."


That's unfortunately the path BioWare has picked.

The one thing I can't stand on the internet is when someone says "all the X think Y." Actually, it's long been the claim of many, many, many of the fans of individual characters that "Entire Team is Jacob" is better than no old faces at all. Very few fans of any single character that I've seen has said "I'd rather nobody from ME2 come back than have characters other than my favorite come back." Only one or two people have said that, and they're... well... selfish.

Do I have to post the image again? DO I?


*Reads thread*

I'm voting "yes."


Seriously guys, are you just trying to get this thread locked again? I mean you probably are, yes, now that I think about it.

Also, I live to serve.

Seriously... My two favorite characters aren't going to be permanent squadmates. Out of my top 5, only two are likely coming back. But I'm happy for what I'm getting.

Now, I do feel sorry for people whose top five characters are Morinth, Jacob, Kasumi, Zaeed, and Thane. But why can't anyone be happy for anyone else? Miranda is my least favorite character, but if she comes back I won't say "why did they have to bring back stupid Miranda rather than awesome Kasumi," because not everyone has to iike every character.

Isn't Miranda more of a sex object? She is a perfect made woman.

Don't get me wrong, I like Miranda a lot and I would be pissed if she's not a squadmate in ME3, but that claim is just ridiculous.


"Either you get Tali or Garrus and deal with it or just deal with missing a bunch of content in ME3. Don't worry about the rest of the ME2 Red ****s or Wrex though. They'll get those unimportant cameo's that aren't needed."

Don't be a wuss.

Hell, I even killed Legion, my favorite character in Mass Effect, that can impact ME3 a lot.

Oh really? So what about those outright insults made towards him? Or your constant approval of those like Mass that call others that don't agree with your shared mindset as trolls? You're just as bad as those that call others trolls when you approve of their toxic behaviour and encourage them to continue doing it. Though what's worse is that Mass just called all those he disagree with as trolls and what do you do?

You turn a blind eye just like Dave does.


wut?




Hey @ZULU!
Did I ever insulted and called you a troll?

Liara is confirmed and that's all I wanted other than to see Wrex again in ME3. ;D But people are taking the character choosing as super personal for some reason like BioWare is victimizing them lol. It's just business.

L2Presumption of Innocense. The only proof that I see is you accusing another member.

1. The following have been confirmed to return permanently:
Kaiden Alenko, Ashley Williams, Liara T'Soni, Garrus Vakarian,  Tali Zhorah vas Normandy. All of them have several variables connected to their person.

2. The thing is, nobody made fun of you and Zulu. The signature is for comedic relief in a stressful forum. The only reason that you lose respect is because you post stuff like these.


1) If you lose Tali and Garrus you get no compensation for all that lost content. If you lose any of the other Redshirts you miss an unimportant cameo. Special Treatment and whinning by Tali and Garrus fans at its finest.

2) Whoa, so all those Topics where Zulu and I were called trolls for daring to suggest something different? Or all those spammers that make irrelevant posts with troll pictures when they can't make a conherient arguement? Or that time when they convinced that spammer to flood said Topics over and over again with mass pictures?

Dave, I envy you. I wish I could see the world with such ignorance and the ability to ignore what has happened and continues to happen. Hell, you could browse Zulu's latest locked Topic and on the first page you will find the start of a flood of insults that never let up into that Topic was locked.

Though I wont hold my breath. You have a history of turning a blind eye to such behaviour when the troublemakers agree with you.

Yeah, how are Tali and Garrus sex objects, exactly? They're aliens. Garrus is a big bird and Tali is living in a bucket.

What's also bad about that is that the squad is confirmed to be smaller and there's no new LI. Talk about bull****.

Unimportant cameo?
Temporary squadmates? No? Guess that Liara in LotSB was an unimportant cameo.

I have posted this again and I have said that I didn't want to post it again. 

a. Some specific posters were trolls, yes. That is what people who: a. Call other people names *cough*, b. Post inflammatory content, c. Post links without any more description are.

b. You don't know where to stop.
You started saying that no ME2 squadmates will be back, saying that the variables are too complex. The ME2 squadmate thing was proven wrong just now, and the variables thing a lot of time ago. You have posted no justification to rebutt that.

The game shouldn't be turned into a giant fan service that we all have to endure because, you know, that's what you like.

You all might like long love sequences but that shouldn't kill the ones I like or i miss out on a big chunk of story because I didn't choose the cool choice.

ME1 Tali/Garrus Fans = Wait, we can't have sex with them? WAAAAAAAAH~! FIX THIS BIOWARE!

ME2 hits = Garrus and Tali are now sexable with Tali getting her personality retconned into a virgin fangurl. They are also the only returning ME1 Squaddies.

I think your definitions of "sex object" and "retcon" are a little off.

Yes it was. Liara is part of an optional Mission Chain that you can miss. It changes nothing in ME2 and it took a DLC to retcon her Mission Chain after fans made it known they were angry at Bioware.

a) You do nothing to dscourage it and your posts usually end up encourageing them to carry on. That makes you no better than them even if you don't outright say what you approve of them doing.

B) Yes I do. Though why should I? My Variable Topic was there to give reasons why none could return, wihtout retcons or denying fans huge swaths of content, and that no Killable should ever get Special Treatment over the others. Than Lo and Behold Tali and Garrus get special treatment AGAIN.

Stop using that. LOTSB was a main story arc. It doesn't prove anything towards the argument in either direction. Stop.

1st no she wasn't retconned
2nd that doesn't prove they are sex objects. My canon Shepard had offscreen sex with Tali, my FemShep canon same with Garrus, while my Sheploo had PG-13 sex with Miranda

Indeed. A LOT of Garrus fans didn't like him in ME1. I am counted among them. In ME1 my ranking of the squad went Wrex, Kaidan, Tali, Garrus, Ashley, Liara. I would rather have had Kaidan back in ME2 than Garrus when I started the game, but when I learned he wasn't a squadmate, and neither was Wrex, I dealt with it and decided to give the other characters a chance.

At retcon involves changing something, you goof. Nothing was changed. Tali's personality is the same as ever, and if you're a male Shepard you have an opportunity to see another side of it that's mostly a whole lot of nerves and apprehension over the risks of a cross-species Quarian/human relationship.
