Well I did make a Tantis + Katana reference at some point yesterday, so that'd be fitting, yes.

 Hi people!  

I was lurking the interwebs, and i stumbled upon something totally random but kind of interesting.

Am i crazy, or this drawing of H.R. Giger's Sil from the movie Species is eerily similar to the Banshee designs? Even up to the fact that, in the movie, the creature tries to get pregnant, and the Banshee displays advanced pregnancy. I smell shenanigans.

Tis kind of similar, but the I doubt they copied it, all they needed to do was tell an artist, make an asari look horrific and thats what they did

Is there NOTHING Bioware can creatively come up with themselves?

Seems like just a weird coincidence. But it is an amusing one.

Those were examples of literaly copy and pasting somthing else into the game, if anyone from bioware had copied those designs they still had to build character models, sound and animation.

I think its unlikely they copied them becuase the banshee is just a scary asari and it fits the brief of make the asari look scary/reaperfied

 There are many ways to make a huskified Asari horrific, it's odd that it looks so much like some of the work of H.R. Giger. I think it's more likely that someone wanted inspiration to make an horrific female-alien character, and they went to check the works of the master at creepy designs. Beside, it's not like they hadn't taken designs from the internet and other works. Just think of Tali's picture...

I just thought it was a clever node to H.R. Giger by one of the artists.

I don't really like any of the designs for Reapers. Marauders all look like Saren, Cannibals look like balls of clay with arms and legs, and the Rachni are just weird. They're supposed to be scary but you just take them down so easily that it's hard to be afraid of the basic types. Banshee sure, kinda scary. Brutes, bad at first but you'll quickly get their patterns down.

What do you mean? They've got big round bellys which looks similar to a 25~32 week old pregnancy. Lol, or they just got fat through reaperfication:lol:

Though, have a look. And another one.

But i understand y'all. It's just my humble opinion.

lol i always just figured it was from the reaperfication/something else  but yeah i can see how could be seen as showing signs of pregnancy, but if their ardat yakshi (most of them anyway from what i gathered) can they even get pregnant? (honestly doesnt know lol)
edit; actually i remember what samara said now so disregard my bolded part above

Well I am sure a bloated belly is a pretty standard horror thing... its not realy trying to imply anything IMO

That's why i thought it added more to the fact: why would they make a Ardat-Yakshi pregnant? I just felt it was weird, to have a creature with a similar design from a renowned artist, who spends the lenght of the film trying to reproduce, killing people through it, and have the Banshee mysteriously appear pregnant. I guess i'm looking too deep into it. Oh, the details...

i must have missed something, what logic?  lol! would it really have been so hard to
a) have the camera angle change there on Rannoch at the perfect time
give all ME2 LI's flashback scenes at the "end" and have her's be her without mask
and thanks Walters, like i don't hate those "replace Tali's face/scene in ME2 with Alien face huggers/predators etc pictures" enough, just had to bring something similiar up in that haha

To me it looks more like a bloated corpse. One that has been in the water for some time.
And I never have thought them as Ardat-Yakshi only. To me they are reapered Asari in general.

I think its just becuase there are a few at the A-Y prison/monestary, and mornith becomes a named one if you let her live in me2... but I think there are far too many for them to just be A-Y

Still photographs are far easier than rendered character models. That's your reason. Unless you want to believe that it was entirely because they thought that little "momento" carried the most significance, and that they "didn't want to destroy the mystery".

I'm sitting here lmao at how they pretend it was some deep decision. I was angry when I saw the video the first time, but now I'm laughing. Maybe the same thing will happen to Mass Effect 3 for me. It'll become one giant joke I can forget about.
