Those two irritating chicks, and the scanner, are lucky I'm not armed aboard the ship. God I hate that scanner. Whose bright idea was that?

They probably thought since we had it in ME1 that it would be ok to bring it back in ME3.
I hated it, and those two stupid women made it even worse.

[gearseffect]

I remember back before ME3 came out there was a question on the ME2 FaceBook page about "After your Shepard saves the galaxy at the end of ME3 (You are going to save it right?) where would he/she like to live?"

I remember posting this as my reply "The ME2 Normandy, it felt like a home, unlike the ME1 Normandy and I don't know what the ME3 Normandy will be like, hopefully not much different. So ME2 Normandy. Another place would be Thessia, He'd kick back in a Thessia highrise with Samara and just take it easy for once"

Yeah wow, that so suchs BW was like HAHA look at this dudes post Lets crush his dreams YEAHHH.

About the scanner thing and the two Chicks, I have a pic of my Shep in his Undies going through that Scanner. I was going to make some sort of De/Motivational Poster out of it.

When I had Shep running around in his undies on his ship and he went through the scanner I started imagine this weird scene playing out where my Shep starts off attempting to go through the scanner in his normal jeans and leather jacket outfit. But those two ladies keep telling him that he needs to remove more clothing because it's messing up with the readings.

After removing his jacket, boots, shirt, socks, they tell him to remove his jeans too, the scanner is still getting interference. Annoyed my Shep says this "Whoever installed this piece of sh!t scanner didn't know WTF they were doing. I don't ever have to stop when going through the scanners at the Citadel"

So he goes through it again in his undies, and the two chicks tell him to "remove your undies too, they seem to be messing up the scanner" they then proceed to do the Beavis and Butthead laugh, mostly just the Beavis laugh it sounds so much more whacky and insane.

Needless to say My Shep got upset and put all his cloths back and and walked through the scanner that way.

Given someone brought up Allers
Another thing I imagined my Shep doing was ya know how whenever you go down to Allers's room thing she's always talking with Samantha?

Well one time I imagined my Shep had been in his cabin trying to get some sleep and couldn't. So he goes down to the CIC in his undies. Samantha is just standing there doing nothing he walks up to her in his undies and the scene plays out like this

Samantha: "Sir.... Oh my goodness.. Um Sir is everything all right with you?"
Jake Shep: "Hmm what why?"
Samantha: "Well because you ummm your in underwear and........ well this is all just a bit awkward, Sir"
Jake Shep: "Why is it awkward?"
Samantha: "Well sir, you see, one of the reasons is your my commanding officer, I'm certain that this is against regs, sir."
Jake Shep: "I'm certain it isn't you know why? Because this isn't an Alliance operation. I'm in charge and I'm a Spectre, not Alliance. So I can walk around naked if I want to OK?"
Samantha: "Sir, please don't do that... walk around naked that is. That would make me even more uncomfortable, as I told you before I'm a lesbian, sir."
Jake Shep: "I remember, and that's one of the reasons I came down here"
Samantha: "Oh god sir, I don't care if your a Spectre or not. Your not my type, and you can't make me do any favors for you by force, sir"
Jake Shep: "Oh good god, what the hell is wrong with you?  I came down here to tell you to stop talking with Allers whenever you think I'm not around"
Samantha:"............... what? You came down here in your undies to tell me I can't talk to Allers anymore? Why not?"
Jake Shep: "Many reasons. Including I don't like her, she does sh!tty interviews, but whenever she does one I get more war support. She made a pass at me, which I told her she wasn't my type."
Samantha: "Sir, I'm sorry you feel that way, but I don't see any reason why I have to stop talking to her."
Jake Shep: "You don't see any reason? Here's your reason Nobody else on the ship talks to Allers. Also if I can't even talk to Samara the woman I love, then I damn sure am not going to let two new people I don't like fall in love while I spend my nights alone in my undies. We clear?"
Samantha: "Sir I'm sorry sir we are clear. Sir can I just ask one more thing? If I were to continue talking to Allers umm what.."
Jake Shep: "I've told Javik if you continue to talk with Allers, he can put her in the trash compacter and then jettison her out into space."
Jake Shep turns and walks away leaving Samantha with a look of horror on her face.


Heh anyone catch the Trash thing? Allers is in Zaeed's old room and he had a better setup then she did. Complete with a trash compacter.  Another reason I'd rather have Kelly as opposed to Samantha is Samatha is so god dang up tight all the time. "Sir um... no I am sorry, sir" It bugs the hell out of me.

Samantha should have been a punishment character if you let Kelly die.

The scanner's essentially a loading screen, isn't it? The war room makes the CIC gynormous, so they put the scanner in to break the level into 2 parts.

I still find it incredibly annoying, of course.

And please, don't get me started on Allers. >_<

[mythlover20]

Ah yes, the Alliance (aka Bioware) and their hidden loading screens. Bloody oath I hated that thing. It always took forever. i usually got up and make myself a sandwich whenever I went through.

I hate allers. ****ing ****.I didn't even pick her up in Margurite's pt. Told the hag to take a hike, and she threatened me. SOOO glad Margurite didn't have to put up with her. After Thane, if Allers came up to her, she would have gladly strangled the ****.

First time I played, I told Allers No. I was doing what I always do with my first play through of a game, I do exactly what I want. I use the second and how many after that to do the things I couldn't be bothered with the first time. Second time, I picked her up. After talking to her on the ship the first time, I realized my instinct was right the first time. If I ever get through it again, I will just ignore her.

I remember my first play through (easy when there are so little) the comm vid on Earth, I had Grunt, Miranda, Kasumi, and Jack to choose from. Everyone else was either dead or I didn't bother doing that side mission. I also remember the end and thinking, "I didn't get a cheev for Thane's romance, WTF? Is it a bug? Don't make me play it again, it will hurt too much." Mind you this was 30 hours from the moment the game launched (March 7), I was exhausted. But I did want to know if it was a bug, so I checked here and realized I was the only fool who finished the game and had romanced Thane. Went to bed, woke up and tried looking again. Couldn't find the answer, so I hunted down someone with the Space Edition and asked them and got my answer. Boy was I mad.

It was bad enough that he was the only LI to be railroaded into a death but to be denied an achievement? That hurt. I got crap for being the loyal mourning Shep who stayed true to her heart and didn't go off with anyone else. If anything we should have been rewarded for not being overly horny Shep and playing it real by staying in mourning. Apparently I am playing this game wrong as I can't pick what "real" moments are actually supposed to be real. For example, Thane dies and they say, "Yeah that gives the game realism, Shepard realizes they can't save everyone." Ok, so I'll stay in mourning, that's a real response to a love's death. I wouldn't go bed hopping if my old man just died. But apparently that isn't the kind of real they want, instead Shepard is supposed to start bed hopping right after Thane dies. I picked the wrong realism scenario.

[gearseffect]

WOW lot of Allers hate, the hate for Allers in this thread is good.

I hate it whenever someone bashes Allers in another thread someone gets all upset and tries to defend her. I tend to think the people who defend her are all just a bunch of Chobot fans anyway. They'd defend Allers if she wasn't even a person but a turd Shep sh!t out and then proceeded to have a conversation with. A turd voiced by Chobot that Shep cr@ps out names Dianna Allers and has a conversation with this fresh turd.

Those same people would defend that turd to the death.

[Saodade]

Hello  everyone!! Hope your days and nights are doing  fine   and busy
Let me  share something  that moved me a lot today:
My husband  felt sadened for  me not being able to save Thane yet.

So he thought to use the picture of the Save Thane group from Squeegee to   offering this to me.

www.flickr.com/photos/saodade/7347645178/

He thought since  I use this picture  and  care that much about it, it  would  make me  feel   better.
And really  this  little mug  made me feel better: the most important man in this world  for me   understood me and tried to show me he  listen.
That is priceless.  
 
So  maybe one day  the   Mass effect  team will try and do  something about  our Thane.

I mean  come on, if my hubby who don't really like   Mass effect, feel  compeled to  comfort me and wish Thane to have an option to be saved, just to make me feel less sad, could take of his  time to  do this  for me, how possible those who worked hard on this game and  claim to care about their  fans  couldn't  try and  offer us this   simple thing: an option to save Thane!
I know, I know, I'm an hopeless  optimist person who still find good sides  even with two feets in a  **** pool.
But it  give me hope. I can't  help to  have  hope just  with this  mug.

Just wanted to share this with you my friends: other people understand us and try to do things to help.

Oh "Hisssss" =
Hmm... on a serious note though, I think it would be a very close match between Garrus and Thane, however I think Thane does have the upper hand due to biotics (Throw, Warp) and methodical proficency in hand to hand combat.
Garrus is perhaps a better marksman but in a close quarter fight I actually don't think he'd win.
His tech powers aren't going to be of much help against Thane's biotic barrier.
I know Garrus mentioned the sparring match with a female crew member but a sparring match is very different in comparison to the kind of CQC an assassin uses.
*Hides before a Garrus fan can say "Scoped and dropped!"*
Is it safe to come out again?


Ah anyhoo, I wanted to share these "postcards" I made for the #forourLI project:
(In case it's difficult to make out the text I'll subtitle them)



"This view is...most spectacular. Local legends tell of pixies dancing in the morning fog. Hills of Brösarp, Sweden, Europe -Thane "



"Apparantely these trees will carry a fruit known as apples in the fall. Suddenly I feel a bit hungry. Apple Orchards Kivik, Sweden, Europe, -Thane"


Virtual cookies to whomever figures out the reference here:



"This abbey is only one of many medieval buildings in this town. It is like walking into a different era. Hmm...Why do I have a sudden urge to climb to the top of the bell tower and leap into a cart of hay? Ystad, Sweden, Europe -Thane"

(Yes I know of the spell phail on "abbey" for some reason photobucket is not showing the updated pic *sigh*)

This one is dedicated to you myth; Thane vid två runstenar:



"These stones are most intriguing. They appear to be permanent records of memories set in stone. Simrishamn, Sweden, Europe -Thane"

WOW    how did you do that???!!! its perfect!! congrats!!

[Saodade]

you guys have squch amazing skills. THane cake mmmmmMMMMmmmm
And all the baby teamates!! Awesome. Love the baby mordin lol And Baby Thane does he try to strangle the hanars ? lovely.

The photo montage with Thane traveling is a&wesome too. So realistic!! I wish he came in my country too...

Come on Masseffecct3 team! Give us an option!

[mythlover20]

I love that babies pic too! But Garrus and Jacob are mean. They should just give Thane his hanar plushie back!

I want a hanar plushie now.

Bah, going to bed. Night all! *blows kiss*

There is nothing to defend. What was her purpose.
That character is a complete waste of time and money that Bioware could have spent on something else. The fact that she hits on you is even more ridiculous.


That Thane mug is so cute. I want one.

A little magic in 3dsMax 2012, and some lightning effects and photomerging in Photoshop CS2

And to everyone who commented on the postcards: Aww thank you!

And on a related note: If anyone else is thinking of making postcards then yep I'm nudging you to read this post about the project:

http://www.holdtheli...ge-2#post-63175

And there is also an update on the project, A deadline has been set on the 20th of June. The original update from HTL is below:

-----------------------------------------------------------------

UPDATE:We're starting to reach the wrap-up point for a few of the LI projects. To that end:

• GARRUS: We're no longer accepting new locations for our fave turian. I'll let you know if this changes!!!
  
• KAIDAN: Locations are all filled up for the Major now! I'll let everyone know if this changes!
  
• LIARA: I'll accept FIVE more locations for the Shadow Broker!
  
• THANE: I'll accept FIVE more locations for our fave drell.
  
• TALI: #MoreTimeWithTali should be sending posters to Bioware at the end of this week, so this will probably be the first set of postcards to end. But I can still accept ONE, possibly TWO more locations for her!
  
• MIRANDA: I'll accept FIVE more locations for Miranda, who sadly hasn't had any at all so far.

The above will bring us to about June 20th for final locations BEFORE Bioware (with the exclusion of Tali who is heading out sooner). I've worked this out on a schedule of releasing a new set of cards every Wednesday/Thursday and Sunday/Monday. If it looks like some of the LI projects won't be sent out until well after that date I'll extend a call for more locations. Thanks!

-----------------------------------------------------------------


/And now I head back into internetless land again  I hope I get to return sooner rather than later...In the meantime fellow Thane fans; Keep holding the drell!  And <ridges>

I think another thing that bothers me is the fact that your ME3 squad is really not that important to the story. Am I the only one who noticed that. Even Liara doesn't serve that much of a purpose. I know she finds plans for the crucible, but after that she isn't much help at all. It makes what they did to the ME2 squad even worse since no one in your ME3 squad really moves plot along, and their spots could have easily been filled by somone from ME2.

Modifié par JECW, 07 juin 2012 - 05:53 .

[coldwetn0se]

I have been spending time reading through some of the other threads throughout the me3 forum, and I have a nit to pick.

Many people bring up ME2 as "problematic" in regards to the squaddies POTENTIALLY being dead from the SM. Because of this, there are some who believe, BW painted themselves into a corner when it came to adding content, dialogue, missions/plots for those ME2 squaddies. I am going to call BS. Resources may have been limited (who knows...bleh), but budgeted well, this is how things should have gone IMO. So, here are my thoughts:

If you look at other games such as DAO and DA2, you see that each game has many options as to how the player wishes to play. This includes who the player wants to recruit as a companion, and of those said companions, which of them they will actually take with them on quests. An example: First time I played DAO, I had no idea what I was doing. When I got to Lothering, it was pure luck that I recruited Leliana......the dialogue led me to believe I was supposed to. However, I did NOT recruit Sten (poor bugger was left to rot in the cage....bad warden.) When I eventually got ambushed by Zevran, I let him go, but I honestly thought I would lose companions if I took him with me (again, this is from someone who had NO idea what she was doing....dialogue from Alistair made me think that he or other current companions would leave.) I also didn't have the Stone Prisoner at the time, so again, another companion that I didn't use. NOW, what is the point of this you ask?? Simple; even though I didn't have Zev (sacrilege, I know) and Sten, BW still recorded VO, add content to the game, and render graphics even though they could be missed or not chosen by some as companions. The content is there whether you activate it or not. Same can be said in DLC's. Look at Legacy for example (and I choose this DLC in particular because this seems to be a newer direction BW wants to take by adding more companion immersion into said DLC), you have (potentially) 8 companions to choose from to bring with you on the campaign. All of them have some unique banter and some interjections throughout the story. On top of that, three of them (sibling, Varric and Anders) have even more interaction (content exclusive to said characters) with Hawke and other NPC's. Yet, I could choose never to bring those three if I wished. Still, the content WAS made and "could" be utilized depending on who you bring with you.

All of the squaddies from ME2 should have had such treatment. Each of them should have had quality content, and enough of it to feel satifying. It doesn't matter that they "might" be dead. Because these are RPG's, there is often many different ways people would want to play these games, and those that like perfect runs (all missions/sidequests complete, all characters who can be kept alive, live), would get that. Those that like mulitiple runs with different outcomes, would choose to do many play throughs. I myself have a variety of play throughs. Some not so "perfect", and I take no issue with "loosing out" on content for those specific run throughs because some squaddies/NPC's/Crew are dead. I have other saves where they are not, so I would eventually see ALL content available to me in said game. This would be no different than me never recruiting Sten and Zev, or never choosing to take Varric/sibling/Anders through Legacy. I don't feel cheated, because I CAN still get the content if I choose (there's that word again....choose, choice, chosen, chose).

Tali and Garrus are proof enough. Especially Garrus. He may be difficult to die in the SM, but it is still completely possible. I still think it is great that even though he could be dead, they made all the content for him that they did in the third game. This is what I was hoping for regarding ALL the past squaddies. No, I don't think they all needed to be companions, but they all could have had good solid content. I had also hoped (like many did), that your LI would be guaranteed a spot on the squaddie list. This again would be no different than the fact that both Tali and Garrus could technically be dead in me3. Content would still be made, but only available based on said import.....ya gets da point!

Yes, this would have meant money in development. Many have pointed to monies spent for me3 on content that we didn't want and/or need. The focus should have always been on the characters in this game, since that is what drives most of us to play these games to begin with. I had asked the other day about how long it took most of you to play LotSB (last week I played it in about 2.5 hours). If you take into consideration the number of sqaddies/exsquaddies we have, and had given each of them content close to LotSB, then add in other content specific to your main objective (i.e. reapers), time wise, the game would have matched (roughly) the same as ME2. And if all of the character missions would have related to the main one (through gaining of war assets, or finding valuable intel, and getting you and your team other advantages), then this would have truly been a character driven story. The type of story I was most interested in, and I believe others were too. Most people who have played me3, say that the two most memorable missions were Tuchunka and Rannoch. I would argue that those were memorable because they were character driven storylines. Could you imagine if that was the bulk of this game? I think it would have been absolutely amazing. Admittedly, this is just my opinion; my .02.

Alright, I have prattled on long enough, and I apologize for being (yet again) very long winded. Not even sure this will make sense.....(I swear, that is going to be my new mantra....sheesh!)

[mnomaha]

There is absolutely no good or reasonable exuse for the way bioware treated the ME2 squad
They did it simply because they are lazy, and don't care.

Maybe they didn't have enough money to go around. Then why spend what they have on usless things like that scanner, those two usless soldiers, and Diana Allers. I'm sure there are other things in this game that were not needed. EDI didn't need a redesign. I don't remember any fans asking for that, but that's what we got. They seemed to only do that just so Joker could have an LI. Their priorities are completely screwed up and we have to suffer for that.

[mnomaha]

Yeah, and that alienated those that wanted the Shoker romance. I know one person who was absolutely livid over that.
