Well, since you haven't cottoned on, the deal is that the activities described correspond to what we can expect to see and do on the Normandy in ME3.  Instead of just saying "You can do/see the following", Weekes whipped up a narrative version.

That was a nice read.

I don't get it. I didn't find this remotely entertaining. No offense but this just sounds like a stupid fan fiction written in small increments. I mean it's just a journal of Shepard doing mundane things. Who the **** cares about that stuff. I mean I don't really want to rip on the guy that's writing this (even though I am) but this just doesn't sound very interesting.

Obviously people are excited about the features described in the blog not the writing itself.

Great read. Can't wait to do some of this stuff in game.

This was cool, really my favorite part of both ME1 and ME2 was roaming around the ship and talking to people, I'm glad that BioWare hasn't just preserved this feature, but made it better.

Hah! I knew that wanker bought some fish!
See? Default Shepard-Commander really is a softie!

[spirosz]

I want to call up one of the Krogans on the citadel and show them my fish collection.

That's pretty cute bit of a tease, but I'm still stoked

Shep off duty.... mine would head straight to the bar

So the galaxy is on the verge of extinction and the person with the best chance to stop it still has to pay for weapons and upgrades? Maybe the Reapers winning would be better.

Reminds me of that image from RE4 where Leon puts a gun to the shopkeeper´s forehead when he asks for payment.

I think its more a case of the quarter master on the Normandy is able to source and purchase weapons from vendors around the galaxy on behalf of Shep - rather than Shep having to physically go to all of those places and purchase them themselves.

I guess it works as in the ME1 codex. You purchase the blueprint and the omnitool creates it. What annoys me is having to pay for the tools I need to save everyone, vendors included. I´d rather we came across the upgrades during missions.

Its the importance of having an economy or upgrades that aren't based on level acquistion.

If you only have it as found in missions, then there isn't a lot to differentiate it beyond any standard linear game where you get new toys as you go through it. If those same toys are the same in every play and in the same spot, its another thing to take away from replayability. By itself its small, but if you put a few of those linear developments together - its death by a thousand cuts.

By having it as purchases, you'll have players buying different things, and playing the game perhaps differently because of it. So straight away you've got an extra addition to the replay value.

As for paying for the tools you need to save everyone, you don't need to buy anything. Like ME1 and ME2, you gradually collected stronger stuff through the game through the compulsory stories. The economy system just gives you another place to get different things.

I enjoyed it, but I couldn't help feeling like Weekes left out something about charging...

But he was charging.

Charging Shepard's credit card, that is.

Don't really see why this is exciting, it sounds like ME1/2's rounds except prettied up and you can call up companions instead of talking with them in their rooms.

[paul165]

Excellent read. Thanks.


More?

[AkodoRyu]

Interesting teaser, it's actually the first time I've seen this kind of a method.

While Patrick tried to leave Shep bland in character to not confuse the reader, I sensed something... Something that has to do with shotguns... XD

Yep, that's why it's exciting

Nice read, hope they do more.

I was most interested by the idea of diplomats coming aboard the Normandy. Seems like the Normandy will be some kind of focal point around which the war is coordinated. And all in all it seems like the Normandy is a much livelier and feels more natural now, with squadmates talking to each other and moving around.

See, this is why no one takes you or your fellow Cerberus cultists seriously.

Wasn't complaining, was simply saying I didn't see what was worth getting excited about.

I'm just going to ignore how you're trying to troll and derail this into another Cerberus thread.

I see you are one of those guys who thinks everyone who has a different opinion to yours is inferior in some way. Reminds me of a crazy bible basher.. or an arrogant athiest. Or a narcissist. Yeah, let's go with that.

I have nothing to offer to the actual discussion. I was just browsing topics and saw this absolute cretin and his post.

Over and out.

You aren't often on BSN Mass Effect forums, right?

[Badpie]

That was a nice read. That must have been fun to write.

It's hard for me to imagine my Shepard keeping a log like that, but regardless it was a nice teaser and indicator of things to come.

Hooray, Mr. Weekes.
