Could make sense if you say Shep is indoctrinated too and because of that just jokes about it as she is so accustomed to it. But still the lines where Vega hears his hum, would that go away too? If yes then all are indoctrinated :D


Humor is a common coping mechanism. And it has already been established the the humming was being emitted by a long cylindrical object that was found vibrating across the weapon's bench down in the cargo bay.

Can you get a screen? Can't find that in any of the saves.


OK, if you don't get the joke, I'm not going to explain it.


Oh dear. We're already getting in-jokes. (I get it by the way.)

Now, normally they're fine. But we really, really don't want to start alienating newcomers or thread irregulars with em. Either don't bring em up or link dat shiz.

Well, I'm just lucky the joke came up in the last 200 pages or so since I've been here, so if we're thinking of the same, then I get it too.

Also, long term exposure to the object is known to cause bleeding out, and death.

I would guess he went straight to trying it out? :P

Has people not realised that, during the "fist clenching" scenes, it's zoomed into the hands. Speaking of which, do people realise the animation of when Harbinger assumed direct control, or released control? (In this case, release control)

For reference, @ 4:42 to 4:46. Harbinger animation isn't that different from clenching a fist.

For all what's worth, it's subtle- yet the resemblance is pretty close. For what's worth, maybe Harbinger just wanted a status update on the Crucible- or he was close to assuming control. Could be either one, or it's nothing but grasping at straws, but I can't help but find the resemblances are somewhat ... neat.

LOL! Thank you! Now just to lurk and wait for the perfect moment to post it somewhere. Probably in one of those threads complaining about needing multiplayer to get the breath ending.... 

Mwahahahah

I have a question:
If IT was actually implemented in the game, and the real ending was only available after you picked Destroy (this is presuming the ending is not DLC but in the game from the start), do you think people would be pissed that only one choice was correct or would everybody be mindblown and applauding BioWare?
I personally think it would be the latter, but I'm curious to hear others' opinions on this.


If you mean only Destroy would get an ending that made sense... some would applaud it, mostly the people who picked it.

Looks more like going from idle to flying state. The animation is also used when Harbinger appears at the Comm Tower in Arrival.

Have you seen the size of the barrel on the Carifex?? I honestly have no idea why these things have such huge bores if they fire "sand grain" sized slugs. I also can't understand how they get the kinetic energy they do, unless the material is three times denser than uranium. Then how the gun shaves it off the block is a mystery.

So I was talking to Adams, and he was complaining about some flaw with the engine that could cause it to vent heat into the engineering deck.

Shep was all "So, do your job or get vaporized?"

Shep knows whats what. Do your job. Pick Destroy.

Convient that you end up speaking with Harbinger at the Arrival, is it not, with the same animation- using the same principals, don't you think tho? Isn't it most likely at Rho where the indoctrination took it's toll, where he went unconcious for two days, with no knowledge of what happend? Speculations arise.

First thing launched out of the Batarian Harpoon Gun. You should have seen the look on that Cerberus drone's face when it hit him. Posted Image Talk about promoting blood flow to the impact site. I can only imagine the words out of the medics mouth when he discovered the nature of the projectile.

BTW, it was Drunk Tali's idea. Posted Image

"Without spam; trolls will always troll the threads leading to the threads being locked, so we have devised a solution where we will spam the thread so it will be locked before the trolls can get it locked. The cycle must continue."
