The day you all got Mass Effect 3 was the most special day of your lives.

But for Badpie....it was Tuesday.

For me, it'll be Friday.  Stupid European release schedules...

Nice. I graduate the day before ME comes out, so its like a 'grats - you're finished' thing as well. Needless to say, I won't be sleeping for a while after it comes out. Is there a mid-night launch? Or It comes out at a particular time, or what?

I think... I've got to wait three more days to get mine. How am I supposed to stay off youtube? God. I can't prevent myself from spoilers and it sucks.

I haven't got any sleep in like 24 hours man because of MW3. Imagine what I'm going to be like when Skyrim and ME3 comes out. ZOMBIE all week.

[Badpie]

Either no one got that Street Fighter movie reference or it just wasn't funny. If it's the latter, I apologize.

As for Skyrim I am stocking up on 5 hour energy and shoo-ing my husband out of the apartment.

The same will no doubt happen for ME3.

I ignored that particular reference, Badpie. By the way, I liked your new Untilted Effect chapter

Edit: Any idea when the next part of The Surprise might be out?

Thank you!  

As for Street Fighter.  That movie is pure caca, but that ONE M.Bison line is so awesome I can't help but quote it whenever I get the chance.  Haha


Sort of like how the Blade movies sucked but it gave us the amazingly cheesy line "some muthaf*ckas always tryin' to ice skate uphil."  

Okaaaaay.  I am apparently very sleepy and have gotten way off topic.  Sorry guys.   Bedtime for me.

I totally got it.  I just assumed that everyone was getting it and thus saw no need to focus on it!  

Anyway, I was saying that it's a testament to the awesomeness of getting ME3 on Tuesday that you can make a reference to M Bison, whereas we in Europe are deprived of that pleasure.

Street Fighter! GAHHHH! I knew I had heard that line somewhere, but I just.... couldn't....... place it.

Ashey approves of streetfighter references!

Writin' time:

Ash: So you brought him back just the way he was before...you know?

Miranda: He's essentially the same person, other than a few synthetic bits and the fact that it appears that we couldn't restore his abillity to dance.

Ash: Let me guess he looks a drunk person who thinks that they're being attacked by a swarm of bees? That's not a glitch that's how he normally dances.

Shepard: Hey!

[Aurora313]

Ashley: You've got to be kidding me! The Argos Rho relay links to half a dozen systems.
Shepard: One hundred and fourty-two.
Ashley: Bu-but! There are only a few habitable systems - 
Shepard: Fouty seven.
Ashley: Ok. Are you reading this off an omnitool or some hud from your implants?
Shepard: Nope.
Ashley: What is it then?
Shepard: A lesser known trait I have is my mathetical genius. Its a numbers game really.
Ashley: Bullsh!t.
Shepard: Nope. Ask me a question.
Ashley: Uh.... 52x47?
Shepard: 2,444.
Ashley: That accurate?
EDI: Yes Commander Williams, it is correct.
Ashley: Wow. And you didn't even have to use your fingers.
Shepard: *shrugs*

Okay, CptData. Two observations/comments.

Firstly, I think that Kirrahe / the STG being lost if you try to save Ashley and Kaidan is a good payoff, provided that the salarians would be a handy advantage to have alive in ME3 and, possible, saving them instead of a human would boost the image of the Alliance as being willing to endure human sacrifices for the sake of galactic unity. From a balance point of view, Ashley and Kaidan are so awesome that there does need to be some corresponding disadvantage to having them both survive. A handy thing about the way you've written it is that it's possible to kill one or both of them off for people who don't like one or either character (wrong though such people are! - okay, just kidding, I know everyone has the right to their opinion).

Something like that. Actually, I want to ensure the player HAS to do a sacrifice on Virmire, but s/he has more options to choose from. Instead of two options you'll have four.
I think it's not the STG team that makes a difference for ME3, but Kirrahe. Won't go any deeper than that - it's stuff from that leaked beta and I don't wanna discuss it here.

When it comes to the Mars or Venus tech options, does choosing the "focus on Sovereign" option (with Mars tech) give a more optimal result than just choosing to save the Council outright? Does it, for instance, mean that far more Alliance / Galactic forces survive the battle? I'm a little confused.

For the Mars Tech vs Venus Tech I thought more about the starting points of ME2. Also it should help to make "renegade" less punishing - if you don't want to save the Council, you can do that, but if you want to save them without having to collect paragon points, you can do that. Since you'll start with Cerberus by picking Mars Tech in ME2, you can go down the renegade path more believeable, if you want.

The few extra guns (lets say instead of eight cruisers only four cruisers went down) won't make a difference in ME3.


Last line: I won't discuss that reboot!story here - only if it's about the Virmire part. I have a thread in ME3 general forums.

So.... anyone got any good Shepleys? Ive got a sickeningly sweet one in my mind, but I gotta get it typed up.

Chris confirmed that in ME3 the team members wont be permanent, bur rather dynamic (think Liara in ME2); that news doesn't bode well for VI; since the whole reunion might not last long

As a graphic designer, I have to critizing. Whike Ashley is the focus of the picture, yes, but the words next to her head are drowned out by the image of the sun and the Normandy. Perhaps if the words were placed higher, maybe in the top third of the image. Or placing an adjustment layer of the segment of the sun and dulling the color somewhat.

I'm sorry, but that text is just bothering the Graphic Designer in me.

That's kind of what Hudson said. The concept of having someone 'permanent' on your squad defeats the purpose of the warstory.

Friends come and go, Enemies accumulate.

[Kolos2]

yeah but it means that there wont be much space left to build a relationship between two characters

[Aurora313]

I suppose. Guess Shepard'll have to go fast.

Bow chika bow wow!

I realize there are several other implementation issues. The dialogue of pretty much everyone in ME1 was very strangely arranged. All the female squadmates had to be rescued, for some reason. Etc.

Seriously, this!  I'm so glad someone else noticed this.  It really bothered me and is such a stereotype.  Not that I'd necessarily want, say, Wrex to be rescued, but it'd be nice if one of the female squaddies wasn't.

Not trying to spin this.  There is a different viewpoint to this.  The only person who truly needed to be rescued was Liara.  

Ashley had already taken out the two drones that downed Jenkins previously.  She was horrified by the Dragon's teeth and what the Geth did to still living humans in relation to said teeth.  Even then she prepared for an offensive.  Also, keep in mind the aforementioned take down of the drones by Ashley and her mentioning that her squad was ambushed...she had to fight her way to a clearing that would prove beneficial to a lone combatant.

Tali had already disabled a Geth soldier and retrieved info from its memory core.  She then spoke to Fist like she didn't care how tough he was and demanded a meeting with the Shadow Broker.  She was led to an ambush and was never alerted to Shepard's presence.  When Tali was being cornered, she used a grenade to give herself an opening.  She took it at started firing back.

So the only one who misjudged anything in her situation and lived to tell her story was Liara.  Every other female that received help had already gained whatever tactical advantage she needed or could afford at the time.  I have no reason to believe that neither of them (Ashley and Tali) wouldn't have made it out of their respective situations intact and of their own volition.  

The one time (and it's an either or choice) Kaidan is rendered helpless is at the bomb site and the game implies that's where he should be.  Kaidan at the bomb and Jenkins are the only two males rendered either completely helpless or in complete dire straights in their respective situations.  So I don't see a stereotype here.

*situation post-Virmire, Ash & Shepard drink a toast to Kaidan.

Ashley: Did you ever thought about saving us both, Skip?
Shepard: You and Kaidan? Yeah. More than once. There was not enough time ...
Ashley: Yes. I often think of how things would have been if you could save us both. I miss Kaidan.
Shepard: I miss him too. He was a good friend and a darn fine officer.
Ashley: I wonder if he's in heaven, watching us.
Shepard: Maybe he's our guardian angel from now on? God knows we need one. Or an entire team of such angels.
Ashley: Skip, I wasn't joking. I just hope Kaidan is at a better place now.
Shepard: Yeah ... wasn't kidding either.
Ashley: Kaidan Alenko. Cheers, Skipper.
Shepard: Cheers, Ashley.
