 It is my favorite power and i have a feeling they wont impliment it in the next game. What do you guys think?

[Ieldra]

Gods I hope not. We don't need any magical powers in ME3. The same goes for Reave. I've used it often in my Insanity playthroughs, but the sheer ridiculousless of the concept makes me wince every single time. Fantasy magic begone from the Mass Effect universe!

Ofcourse lord high research, since biotics, eezo and ftl travel are soooooo scientific....

I loved when Morinth spoke when she used it,twas hot.

That being said,I don't see why not if you already had the power in ME2,maybe they will replace it with something.

Biotics, Eezo and FTL make sense within the game's universe, instantly mind controlling someone from across the room doesn't. Not even the Reapers' indoctrination can do it.

"Dominate" is hands down the most 'out there" ability.

@azerSheppard,

Those things operate outside of known laws of physics, but the principals under which they operate are relatively clear-cut. Ieldra is expressing an aversion to Star Trek and Star Wars style asspulls that will just invent some new deus ex machina for every new threat and just create new stuff at their convenience without consideration for their impact on the overall mythos.

If an asari can share her memories with you through mind melding or whatever, i don't think it is that giant of a leap to where someone can control your mind for a short period of time. Especially and Ardok whatever who's existance is focused on overloading her mate's nervous system.

Actually, Dominate isn't that "magical" if you think about it.

It can manipulate parts of the victim's brain with small mass effect fields.

It's more believable than the asari mind-meld, which apparently work however it feel like if the plot demands it.

Biotics eezo and ftl do not make scientific sense, they are FANTASY. It makes sense in the games universe because the games universe is about as scientific as DA IP. Dominate can just as easily explained as any other power in the game, using the IPs lore.

Don't confuse gameplay elements (instant cast of dominate) with the lore wise version of the power (Ardath Yakshi "embracing eternity" with their victims, inserting their will)

Your statement makes about as much sense as Grunt being cloned with armor. Reeve  the one that "out there" how does "life" get transported from victim to caster, what is this "life" anyway?

Just said that, but thank you for backing me up. I agree with you.

[Homey C-Dawg]

Dominate is a blast to use in ME2. In a multiplayer game it would be overpowered, but in ME it just an insane crowd control.

I'd sure enjoy using it again.

[NotSoIllusiveMan]

It's science-fiction and dominate is just another rip-off from other sci-fi... 

[Someone With Mass]

By the way, the way eezo manipulates an object's mass is physically impossible by today's standards, so it belongs more in the fiction/fantasy section than anything else.

Nor do I think it's possible to travel at a speed that's faster than light and not ram into anything hazardous in space. Or not being ripped apart by particles.

I am, however, giving these things the benefit of the doubt, because it's a science fiction-game.

[sH0tgUn jUliA]

Dominate is just the biotic's version of AI hacking. Simple as that. I'd take Morinth on the big missions and spam it to conserve ammo and run past enemies on the Collector base. What I found interesting is that Samara has Reave, yet Aria comments that nothing leaves you as empty as an Ardat-Yakshi. Dominate doesn't leave you empty. Reave sucks the life out, and saves med packs.

[Hillbillyshep]

Dominate was one of the most interesting powers. Hopefully it´l be in ME3

[NotSoIllusiveMan]

Agreed. At least ME gives us an explanation based on the eezo-theory about how biotics, ftl etc works

[Barquiel]

I think it doesn't make much sense, lore-wise. But I hope it'll be in ME3...it was one of my favorite abilities.

I hope not. I want Mass Effect to have as few space magic or technical awesome-buttons as possible.

Why do you not want stuff like that in your game? To me i like to have cool stuff like that.

Then it wouldn't be Mass Effect. Then it'd be Generic Shooter Effect.

I have similar feelings towards Warp Ammo.

Well the theory is that you're going so fast whatever you hit will be vaporized...unless is like a planet or something.

And there is a place in Florida where one 80 pound dude made a stone castle with nothing more then hand tools,eezo may not exist as we know it but even in the building of the great pyramids there is stories of a what paste or paper-like substance that was put on the blocks and it made them moveable by hand,they were manipulated with a hand held box...


Yeah I know Ancient Aliens blah blah blah.

Pretty much this. If Mass Effect didn't have any of these powers, then it wouldn't be a good scifi fantasy game. And yes, it is a fantasy game.

lol, no magical powers?  so no biotics at all?  If it is a power you don't like fine but domiante has just as much relevance as any of the other biotic powers.
