I never knew the Normandy 2 had a cell. Funny, since I should know such things.

Not surprising considering you couldn't unlock entire areas of the ship until a certain squad mate was recruited.

Or maybe Shep is simply confined to quarters... with the LI if available or "dinner" visits from Kelly.

He is a Marine, not a Soldier, the distinction is important. Stupid: Did you not see him block a knife with a tv then stab someone with it? One-dimensional: Obviously, the incident on Behl meant something to him. Being Typical: Actually, having a real MARINE is a breath of fresh-air. And the term is Jarhead. 

This. 

Having someone with a similar military past like Shepard is indeed refreshing.

Diversity is good and all, but when it looks like certain traits of a character appears only once every full moon, then something's not feeling right.

Forgive me, but what is the difference between a soldier and a Marine in Mass effect. I don't remember.

But to comment on this actual "comic"...felt really pointless...hes just another typical squadmate with "issues" that Shepard has to be Dr Phil for. In fact this simply reinforces my original assesment of being a Jersey Shore jack ass. Nothing but horrible "badass" lines that are older then the hills, hitting people and that same stupid Beach Boy look with the dumb ass mohawk and tribals with his roid fueled appearence.

So because he looked very fit, has a specific hair style and responded to a large number of Batarians threatening he is a Jersey shore jackass? You people need to stop using label and just be more specific and logical with your dislike of someone. Its getting rather old.

That entire situation was his fault...period...idc what anyone else says....no need to rip the TV out first of all...could have just turned it off. Thus avoiding the entire situation. Even if he did he could have simply said "no I'm not, I'm simply sick of hearing this crap" and sat back down.

He said he was tired of listening to this bull****. Thats basically the same thing as sick of hearing this crap.

Also he wanted to simply get back to the game but it was obvious the Batarians wanted a fight. Seriously either way turning the tv off would have pissed them off just as much as tearing it off simply becasue those Batarians want to get payback in someway which isn't surprising.

Again fight avoided. idc what kind of "fanyboy" you are theres no excuse for randomly ripping a TV that dont belong to you off the wall. Would it have really killed him to just change the channel? or just turn it off? But whatever. Secondly...whoopty f***ing doo...PTSD...just another overdone mental condition in story telling where soldiers are involved.

PTSD is common among actual REAL LIFE SOLDIERS. Hell it wouldn't be surprising if some Shepards had PTSD. Its overdone because it is common as **** and realistic. Don't attempt and belittle it.

Oh YAY I get to be Dr Phil some more <.<. Granted its a serious condition IRL and I feel sorry for ppl who really suffer from it....but its just overdone along with everything else really since original ideas are all but impossible in the world now. Needless to say I couldn't care less about this mysterious "incident" he was in. Probably just another cliche situation. Just like Jacob I doubt I'll be useing him in the slightest and he'll just be guarding the ship.

So you basically want another Kaidan right? People say they don't want a character who isn't damaged emotionally and is calm and all around normal but usually those are the most disliked characters. Hell Kaidan isn't too normal but people disliked him because of that.

hmmmm looks interesting! *reads*

[Smilietime]

That was a lovely little read.

Doesn't do much to bring new people into the franchise, though.

ok just finished.... Wooooooooooooooooooow!

James is awesome! Guess the Arrival thing is really gonna bite us in the ass....but thats expected

and the last pannel.... ack! Its weird to see Shepard....locked up in chains O_o like how they kept him/her in the shadows...

[Xannerz]

I'm indifferent about Vega. The comic wasn't bad, but it felt rushed to me.

Maybe I should've picked Udina for councilor (grumble grumble) Okay, probably not.

Udina is Councilor in the comic. It says so on the TV that Vega wrecks, right before he wrecks it.

(I guess we'll have to accept it as Raloi until stated otherwise since there are no current 4-armed races)

OK, for one, we haven't seen every single known species anyway.  For instance, the vorcha didn't appear until ME2, but they've always been around.  For two, nothing says raloi have four arms anyway, nor do we have any reason to expect they would.

I realize the Udina thing; that was what I was joking about. I'm wondering what the in-game excuse is gonna be for Anderson stepping down. Probably the fact that he hated the job, but still. 

Still not sure how to respond to you not liking my random guess for the hell of it, . In my mind, that's what I think the Raloi /could/ look like. I could be wrong. Perhaps we'll find out. Don't see the problem with it that you do.

[Cossack72]

Hm.

I'm looking forward to playing Skyllian Five with James now. Anyone else share the sentiment?

[Bad King]

James is lucky that he left Omega in time- look at some of the alternate covers for Mass Effect: Invasion.

Since I'm taking a break from playing some ACB, I went searching for some Sam/Vega-related stuff and came across a pic that couldn't go unposted, and since this post is pretty Vega-centric, why not share it here, eh?

The only thing Mr. Worthington's missing in this shot is brown eyes (Vega's eyes are brown, yes?)  and neck tatts.



Surely I'm not the only one who sees the uncanny resemblance?

[InHarmsWay]

Just thought I throw this out there. The Batarians are angry over the deaths of three hundred thousand of their people, but aren't they responsible for even more human deaths? The majority of slavers and pirates work for the Hegemony. This makes them responsible for events like the Mindoir raid and the Elysium Blitz. These two events alone would have made Bahak look insignificant.

Looking at say Freedom's Progress' population, we know it was at 912, 810. When this population disappeared, the Alliance wrote it off as a pirate attack. A pirate attack! That is a million people who just vanished and they believed pirates were easily capable of this. Now FP was a new Terminus colony. This could mean that Mindoir (which was semi-new at the time) had a population between 1 and 2 million. A lot of this population were killed or taken by Batarians. Then we have Elysium (estimating around 2 to 5 million) which would result in massive casualties and was nearly destroyed if it weren't for the Alliance (or Shepard).

I'm just saying that maybe the Hegemony should look at themselves when they call anyone terrorists.

[Sailears]

Hmm, interesting...
More info on how this all kicks off then.

I doubt the Hegemony cares as much about the deaths of what was a majority of slaves rather than they cared about it ending their mining operations.

Slaves are not citizens under Batarian law. So they are actually made about Shepard murdering 90000 citizens and soldiers, and massive property damage.

That is how many governments are. Lets say you destroyed an important US harbor. The government would likely to be more worried about the material and monetary assets they loss then the people. Sure they would try and save as many as they would but it would be more practical to worry about how much you loss and how you would replace it.

The Hegemony is at war with humanity. They just never declared it, but we're suffering huge losses all the same. They don't get to call the alleged acts of retribution from the enemy "terrorism", like they're some innocents. Someone compared this to 9-11, from the batarian perspective. I'd say Hiroshima would be a more accurate comparison. But if course, it's easier to demand retribution when you're posing as an innocent victim.

The Hedgemony isn't even in a proxy war with Humanity. They already loss the war now they are just pissed about it. Then there are a few groups independent of the government who want to attack the Human colonies. It is like Hiroshima on the scale of damage but it is more like Pearl Harbor in which its a declaration of war. The Hedgemony probably doesn't want a real war since they are currently fighting wars on their own planets. Since Shep killed so many Batarians and an entire Solar System they have no choice but to.

It's also a terrible blow to racial prestige and morale, because it shows that despite the Hegemony's proclamations of strength and power, the enemy was still able to inflict such a devastating blow to them. (At the risk of inciting a flame war, it's not too dissimilar to the terrorist attacks of 9/11.)

Of course, the bigger implication that concerns the Citadel Council is the revelation that the mass relays are NOT indestructible, and are as vulnerable a target as anything else in the galaxy. If one group could do it once, why not again? I'm sure there's no shortage of other separatist factions in the galaxy who would be more than happy to blow up mass relays to secure their independence from other races/governments.
