That's because you had great experience at least in ArmA.
They have bewbage and ass@s.
Ah, yes, also "awesome" button which doesn't work.

I might take some flak for this - but I actually prefer the way ME2 and 3 handeled armor.

I like Shep in his N7 armor. Would prefer to just customize/add to that instead of constantly changing armor all the time. Plus, honestly, the constant armor changing broke immersion for me. Especially when I switched armor while deployed. Not sure how that would work, exactly.


I'd prefer combination of two. First, remove those "grades" (I-X), leave only weights - light, medium, heavy and different types of armour - Predator, Phoenix, etc.
For example, Phoenix has built-in regeneration module, thus it could heal you slowly, without using medigel. Predator got extra shielding by default, Colossus reduce damage dealt to health and, for example, give wearer better "deflection" - chance to negate damage dealt completely (when shields are down, of course), especially when it comes to last health bar.
Armour weights should affects cooldown and rest "speedo" parametres, including moving speed, accuracy, etc.
Then you can customize your existing parts of armour, by adding some elements - extra ammo pouches (that what I hated in ME3 especially, it's external pouch, I can slap it wherever I want), extra batteries for shield generator, extra grenades, list goes on.

My main problem with ME3* is that it didn't involve a way to customize squadmate armor, as well. Would have been nice to be able to mod Ash's armor with a specific chestplate, arms, etc, that would impact her stats.

*As far as armor is concerned.


Well, at first it would be nice to give Ash armour in first place - her default suit hardly qualify as one. And to Liara too, btw. And give them proper helmets. Not necessary with rebreathers, open-face should do the trick too, at least outside vaccum. Image IPB


But what really pisses me off in ME2-3, it's thermal clips introduction, especially in ME3, since in ME2 we at least had quite fast health/shield recharge rates, helping to maintain "fast-adrenaline action" legend. In ME3 all that crap on "long weapon cooldown" is simply irrelevant, because I spend enough time behind cover just to weight till my shields actually recharge. And that time is pretty damn enough to cool-down Particle Rifle and let it recharge.
Not to mention how partners ignore limited supply of those clips. At least they could throw you couple, adding some viperous/admiring comment on Shepard's marksman skills, damage output or on that "house arrest" with obvious lack of practice in shooting (or questioning whether it actually was any arrest, since skills are still there).
Plus, what I don't like - team-mate "death" is not permanent, you can revive them, two ways now. For the **** sake, in old "Republic commando" (not to mentioning Resident Evil 5) protagonist "death" wasn't equal to immediate game-over when there was at least one team-mate alive. And given fact that Garrus took down Atlas on Sur-Kesh singlehandedly (along with escort) and shot couple of Brutes on Tuchanka (singlehandedly again), I think giving us "mission failure" at Shepard's death is a bit devaluing cost of life and all that pseudo-phylosophical crap.
Yes, that "team-mate" care is somewhat smelling of egoism, but when properly done it could actually work to cement team relationship even further.

And I think good man Hellfire257 could add a lot on team-work aspects in ArmA. Even in single-player.Image IPB

I just started playing me1 again, earthborn and war hero. Ashley and him got off on the wrong foot, wanted to see what happened if you were a little mean to her. I felt so guilty.


I don't remember "family talk" for Earthborne, but since I recently replayed colonist in ME1, I do remember Ash's phrase on "foot in her mouth" during that talk.


Ushanka wrote...

Yeah, renegade is jerk sometimes, but he doing his job good. But I don't like renegade in ME3... Pure evil...


I think both paragon and renegade are 1) too narrow and single-sided (even for single-side characters), 2) they can't decide what path to choose for those characters.
Because in many cases paragon behave even worse than "lawful stupid" paladin and renegade is... Well, I think I'm out of English words to describe him properly.
Yet on some cases renegade behave quite normally. I was a bit surprised for that.

And for the record, I didn't perform "renegade actions" like shooting Mordin or being **** to team. It's just out of role, I think.

Rudy, paragon really like a paladin sometimes, but I support his moral choices, good guy.
And renegade... I told already why I like it. Who can insults his friends but really cares about them? Who can punch women or stay on his feet after giant dose of alcohol? And who can ignore all facts and have sex with Ardat-Yakshi or being disrespectful to high command? Only russian. XD That's a long list, and that's why I like it. (:

And I see that Ash has something from renegade too. (:

With all my simpathy to paladins, paragon behavior is higly questionnable in several cases, especially under meaning of word "paragon" - I wouldn't follow that example, really. Not sure that renegade is that "renegadish" sometimes, as well.
Well, that's what you got with 1-2 dimensional systems anyway. I prefer Witcher approach - no scale, just you, options and consequences. Without "this is +5 to light" nonsense.


Ushanka wrote...

If you care about your friends, you will never insult them. Friendly prank , some friendly gibe or poke, some viperous comment, all inside known limits of "acceptance" of "target" - that could be. Insult means end to friendship. One of reasons why I dislike ME3, btw.


Ushanka wrote...

Depending on woman, actually.


Ushanka wrote...

Giant dose of alcohol? 3 shots? Even if he drank pure alcohol also known in your country as "it" (C2H5OH)Image IPB it still doesn't look like "giant dose".


Ushanka wrote...

Not sex - just mind****.
Although ignoring all safety rules is trait of Russian people as "whole", I've seen enought of such violaters in other places.

*friednly gibe tone* I think you offended a lot of people right now, comrade.
No smilie, because here are no appropriate.


Ushanka wrote...

For example? Double jeopardy during coup and ignoring all previous experience with Shepard, concentrating only on Cerberus, working with Cerberus, being revived by Cerberus, being supplied by Cerberus and general distrust because of Cerberus. What I have forgotten? Ah, yes, Cerberus. Especially Miranda-swim-suit talk which makes me laugh.Image IPB

Why's he stupid? Some of his phrases/actions are extremely smart. For ME at least.

In russian version they called "пыжаки". (:
Oh, this was really terrible! Shepard sounds like a teenager, Tali sounds like she has problems with hearing, Hackett sounds like a drunk homeless and ect. Only Wrex was good. (: And Ash was not so bad.

Wait, they actually replaced voice-over actors, not just translated text, i.e. "total" localization? And such quality for such price?
That's not face-palm, that's face-trench... Alopex Lagopus, dammit.

Slightly touching the M-territory ...

Ashley: Wrong. That is sooo wrong. *snickers*
Traynor: Well, you asked for it, Commander. You asked for it.
Ashley: Yeah, and I can't wait for his reaction.
Traynor: Okay, lets go through the plan again, shall we? Commander Shepard expects you being here for a date - but instead of that, he runs into me in underwear.
Ashley: Just pants. And you do the sexy stuff, hmm?
Traynor: *smirks* I hope I can ... I'm not experienced with men, you know.
Ashley: Just do what you enjoy. Skipper shouldn't fall for you ...
Traynor: I hope so. Men have a tendency to hit on me. Think the first questions I get asked frequently is "are you taken" and "want to go out with me" - and I always have to tell 'em I'm not into men. Well ... okay, rest of plan?
Ashley: You're here, using your most seducing voice and want to spend the night with him. Tell him he deserved that, especially since he's working soooo hard and need to vent some steam *imitades soft and sexy voice*
Traynor: Alright. And then you come in and hopefully Commander Shepard is not doing anything, right?
Ashley: *snickers* kinda. I actually expect him being torn between you and me - love that image of him being in such sweet situation ...
Traynor: Well, at least you can be sure he's not taking advantage of me. And we're friends.
Ashley: Close friends. ^^
Traynor: Let's get it done ...

* much later *

Shepard: Hey Ash, hope you remember our date. I come in now! *opens door*
Traynor: Hey Commander ... mind if I take your girlfriends place tonight?
Shepard: Samantha! What are you doing in my bed?
Traynor: Should I leave it? Of course, Sir *gets up, blanked uncovers her*
Shepard: No ... nononono ... stay there. I get you a robe. Hang on ... here. Now get yourself covered, Samantha. That's ... well, what the heck did you think?!
Traynor: Well ... didn't she tell you? Commander Williams wanted you to have some fun and asked me-
Shepard: Ashley. Asked you. To do that.
Traynor: Hard to believe, Sir?
Shepard: Impossible this is real. Okay. John - you leave that room. Rub your eyes. Come in again and she's gone. Do that. *leaves room*
Traynor: Sir ... ?

* outside - Shepard runs into Ashley *

Ashley: Skipper!
Shepard: Ash! Don't get in there!
Ashley: And the reason is ... why?
Shepard: Traynor. Somehow she made it into my cabin and ...
Ashley: *tries not to snicker* ... well, you have an open door policy. Maybe she just needs a pep talk?
Shepard: A pep talk ... right.
Ashley: Oh c'mon, big man. She's no monster. *enters room*
Traynor: Hello Ash ...
Ashley: Hey Sam. *gets closer* ... I see you're prepared *kisses Traynor on the lips*
Shepard: *gazes* I ... should go ... *turns and runs out of his own cabin*
Ashley / Traynor: *laugh*
Shepard: JOOOKER ... set a course to some ice planet! I need to cool down! NOW!
Ashley: Test passed, Skipper ... test passed *smiles happily*
Traynor: Best friends, hmm?
Ashley: Best friends forever, Sam.
Traynor: Did someone tell you how sexy your voice sounds?
Ashley: Every single night since I moved in this cabin *smirks*



@ Aurora: and yes, I wanted that scene with Pierce - but she's dead! You ... you ... *cries*

I hate that too and happily, my girl doesn't do that. I would most likely react like Shepard in case she does. ^^

And technically, this was no real test. Ash simply loves to play a prank to Shepard. That's why she asked Traynor and not Allers. ^^

Yes, Pierce is dead. She died during Thessia. If that dialogue was before Thessia, go straight ahead, though I prefer if that we let her rest in peace.

Got another OC being constructed for my new Renagon Shepard to be Andreas 'Pierce'. It's a male this time. His name isn't nailed down yet, but his streetname is 'Spike', they relationship is sibling-like (sworn brothers). Both are earthborn and once again, Shepard'll be outranked by him. But being a renagade Shepard doesn't give a rat's ass about it, and treats him the same as he treats anyone else.

Problem is, I've never played Ash renagade romance. This should be interesting to work with...

The only reason I keep her onboard is cause of the war-assets. And if you don't se dies rather horribly. Think she gets turned into a husk or something.
