Skyrim is too sandbox for me, Diablo 3 is crap IMO, and Battlefeild 3 is not my kind of game. The MAss Effect series is seriously the only shooting series I own.

I think I'll have to hold out until KH3D, or get the Playstation out and play some classics.

 RE: Romance DLC

One of the Devs tweeted in response to someone asking about possible romance dlcs, and they said if they did it  the V.S wouldent be in it. (Which makes me think Liara wouldn't be either). Anyway could you imagine the ****ing if she was? We already have LOTSB.


Who cares if we already have LotSB. That was ME2 - a completely different game. ME3 is riddled with its own flaws and problems when it comes to Liara, her romance, and her home planet and race.

I doubt they'd do a romance DLC, but as Aristobulus said, people tend to overlook the fact that while Liara did get more content, her romance still left something to be desired - especially the first part of the game and Thessia. For me, a DLC exploring the asari home planet takes priority to a romance one, because the asari deserve more than what they got in ME3. With it, of course, there'd be a few scenes here and there for Shepard and Liara as a LI.

Liara's romance vs everyone elses.  Im not sure which is worse - reruns (i swear one more are you sure date and someones getting punched)  or cameo romance.  One leaves you feeling confused and hollow and the other isn't explored and left to player speculation.  *shrugs*
Me3 leaned more towards its very flawed plot and "war is dark and depressing' theme rather than its characters *(liek we're so accustomed to in ME1 and 2 - ME2 was pretty much ALL about the characters), and the romances more or less suffered for it. And possibly the amount of zaeed dialogue took away from that a bit as well, made it all feel less personal and less immersive.

@Yuqi, just as Alex said, you should try and play some TF2. I promise you hours of fun. It's a great game and it turned F2P not so long ago. Add me if you want on steam (rimmler684) and we could play together.
I also suggest you to play other games like Skyrim, Battlefield 3 and Diablo 3. They are brilliant games that will take your mind off ME abit untill the EC is released.

Hmm.. I won't even start an argue about this because this is personal opinion. I really really enjoy all those games I listed. Still, there are many out there that you can play and enjoy, beside Mass Effect. :)

Imagine the complaining from us if they did one and she isn't!

Also, I'll repeat myself (Not in any way direct to the post I quoted just to be clear): Please stop complaining about everything you don't like in the series here. It is very annoying and brings me down.

This goes especially for adneate and doozer12. Please don't take this for hostility in any way, I just don't think this is a good place to talk about how much you dislike the majority of the series / the third game respectively.

You know, I've rade almost all the comments from page 1500 just to be updated, and I see this romance DLC idea has been brought to attention many times.
As a person who have stated many times that fell completley in love with Liara, I have to say that having a DLC that features Liara more as a LI, having maybe building a home for her, having babies and exploring Thessia more could be like a dream come true for me.
Sadly, I am a realistic person, and from the way things look right now, I dont think such a DLC will be released. Such a DLC will simply won't sell well and all the video game companies (and you can't blame them) are mainly thinking about making profit. Realising such DLC won't give the game a good name since ME3 wants to focus more about the Action elements and less on RPG (I know this game is supposed the game with the most RPG elements, since all the choices were supposed to matter at the end, and we all know that didn't happen), thus such a DLC that less focuses on Action and the main storyline and more about a specific, fantastic character, just won't do good for buisness.

On the other hand Lair of the Shadow Broker is widely considered an amazing DLC, and not just by Liara fans, and not just for the gameplay battles it gave you either. It's considered a huge success for the writing it had, and what it did with Liara's character and her relationship with Shepard.

It's so good, I know many people who didn't like Liara before that, who became Liara fans after LotSB.

So it's not like there's no precedent for this and that it's not something that'd sell. LotSB is proof it will.

If we're going all wishlist, I'd like that location to be a house Shep and Liara get with plans to return after the war, and similar to the Normandy Tour scene, after the arc, Shpe and Liara can go there and get a scene where they discuss their life separate from the war, their feelings, and what they would like to do afterwards.

After that, when you return, Liara always goes with you and you can just get some general comments and such. Basically if you return after the post scene, just in between missions, like you could return to Hagalaz, it'd just be set up to look like Shep/Liara taking a break between missions.

Maybe as you keep returning you can find out more about Asari culture and such from things around the place, just like how returning to the Shadow Broker ship would reveal more videos and such in the back console.

Yes, I agree - this is closely tied to the lack of hub worlds besides the Citadel in ME3. After doing every multi-mission story arc concerned with a specific homeworld, a hub can open up where Shepard can return to any time, along with his/her squad members - especially the ones whose homeworld it is, like Garrus on Palaven and Liara on Thessia. Two birds with one stone, if you will.


I agree with both of you so much in this.

And this, while I would dearly love more romance content something that turns into a masterpiece like Tuchanka (and for goddess sake lets Shepard emrbace and really comfort Liara afterwards).

So it's not like there's no precedent for this and that it's not something that'd sell. LotSB is proof it will.

Agreed, also there are several ways to make a romance DLC.

1) A LotSB like mission focusing either on one character or an event where whichever LI Shepard have will be the prominant character. This will be the more difficult choice since no mission would relfect all the various LI and if a specific LI is focused upon they fans of the other would not take it will.
I know that as much as i love LotSB (and I really, really did) had it focused on any other character than Liara it would only have been okay, but likely not more than that for me.

2) Make a DLC that incorborates several, perhaps even  dozens of smaller moments throughtout the game. for example add more small scenes ala the Timecapsule (only romance oriented), "flatterer" and the date scene, have the ralationship be noticed by others, perhaps an oppotunity to get a gift of similar for you LI perhaps as suggested a base for just Shepard and his/her love interest. Fix all the smaller romance problems, for Liara that would include amongst other:

1. More romance contect near the middle gamer.

2. Lock-in the roamnce at the first talk in the Normandy.

3. Have Liara place her her on Shepard's should or similar doing the timecapsule scene if romanced.

4. Possibly make the gift scene romance-exclusive.

5. Perhaps and more "date scenes" or similar.

6. Have the option to simply talk with Liara about herself, what she likes, her childhood, interests, plans for where she and Shepard would live for after the war etc.

7. At the very least allow romanced Shepard the option of really comforting Liara after Thessia.

Of both these options I think the second one would be the best since it could fix a lot of problems add small things where it is needed, and likely most importantly could do so for all romances rather than just focus on a specific character.

I don't quite understand what you're trying to say here. :pinched: Are you saying you would prefer if they expanded on Thessia rather than making a romance DLC or...?

Also, no offense but your spelling is really off today. :lol:

I said it once and I'll say it again, I absolutley love Liara, but I dont think such a DLC will be good. Read my previous post. It'll become less  Mass Effect-ish (in the way Bioware sees it) so it won't be good for the biz.
Sad, but I'm afraid this is the case :(
Still, the ideas you have given here are really nice.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to sleep, see you guys in 6 hours :)

I don't need Liara in the romance DLC. I'd rather have an Illium DLC to:

- Save the asari (not from the Reapers, but from being butchered in ME3. They suffered enough)
- use Liara's Intel in that DLC, to make her SB status more important.
- visit Liara's apartment and make out.

That would solve everything. I pay for it. gogo

Right, what I should have written was:

And this, while I would dearly love to have more romance content it is more important to have a DLC that turns the Thessia mission into a masterpiece like the Tuchanka mission is. 
And for goddess sake improve the scene where Liara is devastated afterwards, so that Shepard can emrbace her and really comfort her instead of the "get back to work" thing we currently got.

Better?

As for Liara, I've always believed that she loves Shepard even if her feelings aren't returned; but she never pushes herself on Shep or tries to interfere with her relationships with others. I think it's actually a nice touch, as sad as it also is, to include the idea of unrequited love in the game.


Agreed, another great scene that comes to my mind is in ME2, Samara rejecting Shep's advances, that scene was done so well, Shepard may be a remarkable individual but it would be silly to have the option to romance everyone.:whistle: And for Samara it would be inconsistant to her character, she answers only to the code, if I could wish anything for Samara it would be to reconnect with Falere again, seeing her act so cold towards her and knowing it pains her to do so was heartbreaking:crying: I also heard some people would like an option to romance Aria if Bioware are going to release an Omega DLC, to that I say, no, just no, this is a different league of stupid IMO, it's like Mass Effect is turning into the 'Bachelor' or something *shudder*

Anyway Samara was one of my favourite characters in ME2, I just loved her story, the crosses she had to carry and her otherworldly wisdom and serenity, I loved skipping into her cabin to chat and I would have really liked to of heard Samara's opinion of Liara or visa versa, the young asari and the wise Justicar would have had many interesting stories to swap no doubt.:D I've seen these two in conversation in alot of fanfiction being a mentor or confidant of sorts to Liara. For me I would have liked to have seen these two become close friends, since Liara lost Benezia, losing a parent, especially your mother, the void that leaves in your life is indescribable. Samara would sympathise with her situation, she has sacrificed so much of her own personal happiness for her way of life, I could see her guiding the young asari and I would like to think Liara would appreciate the wise council of a revered Justicar.^_^ 

For me I just like the concept of delving more into Asari life, the contrasts between the young and the elder Asari to me is very interesting. What is expected of them, how they should lead their lives, if they openly defy an elder's wish would there be severe consequences, could they be cut off from their family support network  and so on. Benezia had to let Liara forge her own way, rather reluctantly I would think, the influence of the elders in Asari culture is quite remarkable and nice to see, just exploring that more is always interesting to me.^_^ Anyone else feel the same?

The blast would be travelling at light speed, which the Reapers could outrun because they can travel at FTL speeds.

Well, if timed properly, the explosion could wipe out the reaper fleet, I mean, it's not like you can switch to FTL in the blink of an eye. But oh well, that would've been too convenient though


Might not take out the whole fleet. I think it takes time to translate through the relay so if the asteriod were to hit the relay as they started coming through, perhaps half the fleet wouldn't appear at all. Meaning, they're still in the transit corridor. So what happens to them? With no exit (catch/brake) point, do they simply continue travelling through the corridor to ... nowhere? Image IPB 

Leaping to another topic, while I like the Firebase Goddess map, I find the Asari logo accampanied by the words : Authorised Personel Only, rather incongruous. Why not use Asari script? Are there none? That's not possible since we sae ancoient scripts at the temple. hence, I felt like I'm not really running around in a part of Thessia despite the Asari architecture.

:blink: Jesus, I'm away for two days because my internet is apparently afraid of thunder and the thread goes FTL.... Ugh, I'm not looking forward to catching up.... Anyway, I've been having some horrible luck lately and I have to ask: Does anyone play ME1 on Origin and if you do, have you been having trouble with it? A few days ago, it just doesn't want to launch anymore. No idea why, I can't imagine why anything would corrupt the data or anything since I haven't had any viruses to even speak of on this computer. So, uninstall, then wait approximately 7 hours for another download.

However, when I try it again, it says something like Critical Error: Driver cannot be created/found/ installed or whatever it was. So, uninstall again. Power and internet goes out and then once I'm able to wait another 7 hours to download. It works now, apparently, but I really don't want to go through it again. I'm not computer saavy, really. I just put games on here, leave my virus protection and firewalls up and go through life happy and ignorant for the most part. But man, was this a pain in the ass.

Here, Liara is having trouble with her computers too.

So if there is a Thessia DLC would you rather it be one giant mission like LOTSB or a series of minor and major missions like the arcs on Sur'Kesh and Tuchanka?


We're probably more likely to get DLC set on Omega or Illium rather than Thessia, though I'd love to see DLC that featured a new hub that we haven't visited before. Thessia would be great setting as well, because it might give the player an emotional connection to the planet right before the Reapers land and hammer it. It could potentially improve Priority: Thessia by giving it more emotional impact.

Omega is probably the most likely setting for DLC though. While I haven't read the script, I have seen other people posting that there were missions in the script dealing with Omega that did not make it into the game.


On the other hand Lair of the Shadow Broker is widely considered an amazing DLC, and not just by Liara fans, and not just for the gameplay battles it gave you either. It's considered a huge success for the writing it had, and what it did with Liara's character and her relationship with Shepard.
It's so good, I know many people who didn't like Liara before that, who became Liara fans after LotSB.


While I always liked Liara, she became one of my favorite characters after playing LotSB. I agree that it was the best Mass Effect related DLC. In fact I'd go even further and say it was Bioware's best DLC to date, for any series.

 RE: Romance DLC

One of the Devs tweeted in response to someone asking about possible romance dlcs, and they said if they did it  the V.S wouldent be in it. (Which makes me think Liara wouldn't be either). Anyway could you imagine the ****ing if she was? We already have LOTSB.


I don't understand this tweet. Why not have the VS in it? They were really treated horribly by the writers overall. First, VSmancers get that bad treatment in ME2, and then come ME3 Bioware wants to sit them out for half the game. Then, once they finally get on the Normandy (that is, if you didn't kill them because they constantly harped on you about Cerberus) they don't get much. I'm not sure about the romance itself, but just looking at the content everyone gets for them, it's rather disappointing. You really get the sense that anything Bioware gave us with the VS wasn't because they wanted to include them. Almost like, 'Okay guys, we gotta put something in for the VS. <_<"


Honestly, Bioware really dropped the ball for all the romances. The VS is there, but isn't, Thane and Jacob got 'mance killed for no good reason, Liara gets some great content overall, but much of it isn't actually unique to her romance and ME2 romances were severely neglected in nearly all fields. If they wanted to redeem themselves here, Bioware would release some DLC(s) (I honestly don't think they could address all of the problems each romance has with one) and include all of their fanbases. We aren't just upset about the ending, after all. Bioware really took a few running leaps in the opposite direction as far as their romances go. You really don't see their history of great character writing in them.

I can't really speak for Kaidan since he died on Virmire in my playthrough, but I thought Ashley had a decent amount of content in the first half of the game. And both the hospital and memorial wall scenes were great.

But once she rejoins the Normandy she doesn't really have much to say at all. She could have definitely used another conversation or two after rejoining the Normandy.

I liked the hospital scenes too. However, I will never see the reasoning behind even having it to begin with. Why are they sidelined? It makes no sense in a writing perspective. They could have easily done every single thing they addressed in the hospital scene on the Normandy with the VS acting as an actual squadmate. I felt that the hospital scene added needless drama.

EDIT: TOP Erm... have a smirking Liara.

I think they gave the VS the extended hospital stay so that it would make sense when they showed up with Udina during the coup. If Ashley or Kaidan had been aboard the Normandy it would make less sense why they were aiding Udina, instead of Shepard. In order for the VS to rejoin the Normandy sooner I think they would have had to rewritten or scrapped the VS' role during the Cerberus coup.

Anyone know who the artist is?
