Is that really true!? He also did the voices of most (all?) of the volus (voli, voluses?) in ME2. Once I noticed it, it made the Biotic god scene... weird.
I vote for Voli, sounds canon no?
Unfortunately I think the games already layed it out that volus was both the singular and plural form for members of that species. I think Vol is just the adjective or possesive form of the word.gunslinger_ruiz wrote...

Just 'cause you can say it doesn't mean you aren't talking out of your ass here. "Quantum discontinuities"? "Absorbing spacetime"?

If you want to describe something very scary with lots of technojargonbabblations that actually has some scientific plausibility, try Vaccuum Metastability Event. Sorry for any sleepless nights as you wonder if some morons somewhere, somehow, somewhen in the distant past far far away caused the annihilation of their civilization, of every civilization everywhere.

Hear hear! Welcome to the thread, we have cookies and intellegent debate and whatnot. And yes, trying to
debate some on this forum I find it difficult to understand their thinking... not quite sure why anyone would take everything the "Catalyst" says at face value.

Consider the darkspawn from the Dragon Age verse. An alien form of life that reproduces parasitically on other
species.
That are driven to cause unfathomable destruction and suffering
because, simply, it is in their nature to do so, whatever that nature
actually is. They're very presence begets poison and disease. Their
footprints are the ones of devestation to non-darkspawn life. They are a
part of the natural order for all we know, but peaceful coexistence is
not possible. In the end, their continued existence means there will be
an endless war for survival. One that can only end with one side
exterminating the other.
In Awakening you can allow one
intelligent darkspawn to continue its efforts to uplift its kind to
greater awareness. It promises that perhaps a sort of peace can be
brokered between the darkspawn and non-darkspawn if the darkspawn can
become intelligent. But it's a fools hope. Darkspawn bring disease,
madness and terror wherever they go. Darkspawn reproduce by rape and
mutation. Their existence comes at the expense of ours.
The reapers are no different.

Completely unrelated story:
Broke up with my girl 3 days ago because she is immature and selfish. Went to dinner tonight with this cute girl from work. Very nice young lady, but she eats like a ****ing Vorcha. Open mouth, smacking noises, slurps, and she flicks her tongue out. WTF IS THAT?! It's Revolting! Who eats like that? Toddlers, thats who. It made me lose my appetite. I didn't have the heart to say anything though. I don't even know how I'm going to look at her when I go back to work.
Should have spent the evening right here in this thread.

Yeah, he did the voice of Niftu Cal A.K.A. Biotic God, and he did the voices of all the Vorcha.

I don't think they would be named as a reference. Why would they place a refernece to something that would only be found by someone who has the need to look through the game files? It's not a good place to put a easter egg if it is one.
An easter egg I doubt. Accidentally letting their real intents on an object slip out because they forgot we can see that stuff even in the compressed file? That sounds more likely. Oh BTW, take a gander at the name of the "control" ending device:MegumiAzusa wrote...
I actually wish there would be a way to save TIM, I always feel sorry for him.
That makes one of us. There's two possibilities. Either indoctrination has been affecting him for far longer than we thought, in which case the real Jack Harper died decades ago, or he was truly responsible for Cerberus' vast list of crimes prior to ME3. And if that's the case, **** him with a rake.Simon_Says wrote...
It's like the Suicide Mission but with a much higher success limit. The Suicide Mission could fail, or succeed at great cost. Only if you work your ass off beforehand are you going to manage to earn the best outcome.
That reminds me. I remember reading that the lowest you could get through with no casualties was 2 loyal squaddies. 95% sure it was a comment from a dev. Anyone know if that was accurate, and if so, what the setup is? I've been curious for the longest time.HyperGlass wrote...
I doesn't but if TIM killed himself.....I keep thinking back to how Soverign was killed because Sarren was killed. I keep thinking that the Reapers would have been weakened similiar to that.
TIM killing himself = he fought it off weaking the Reapers (my guess)
TIM not kiling himself = vice versa
Or am I missing out Anderson in this?
Saren's death lead to Sovereign being, for lack of a better word, stunned. Theoretically that could probably work again but it would only work on the Reaper directly controlling the slain avatar. Not all of them. Also, the Reaper in question would have to be a ****** like Nazara was. Remember when Shepard blew up the Collector Base? Harbinger specifically said he was releasing control of the Collector General a moment before it died. So Sovereign would've been alright if he'd just disconnected fromGeth Stalker Mk. IISaren before Shepard owned it.liggy002 wrote...
Here is one of the most interesting questions of all: If we assume IT is true, what does the Crucible actually do?
That's an interesting question. I'm glad you mentioned that, because I had a theory yesterday I totally forgot about before I got home to post it. I seriously doubt this is the case, but it'd be an interesting twist.
Okay, mass effect. It works by charging energy through element zero, right? The more of each, the more powerful effect. Now we know that the Crucible draws a tremendous amount of energy, right? That's all they COULD determine from it. And the "catalyst" is the Citadel. The Citadel itself is a dormant mass relay remember. Logically speaking, it must have the largest element zero core of anything we know about. It sustains its own barriers over many miles, and it links a great distance into dark space where the Reapers lie in wait, much farther than any mass relay goes. Here's my thought. What if they Crucible, rather than being a Reaper trap in the sense we thought, is the Reapers using organics to help them create a mass relay powerful enough to link with a neaby galaxy? I mean, they have us making a device that produces unimaginable power and they've got us hooking it up to the biggest eezo core they have.
The only wrinkle in it is that mass relays need to be in pairs. So there would have to be one at the destination as well. Though it's possible that once the Crucible has been "perfected" they'll fly it over there with conventional FTL and build another one here. It would take hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of years, but it's not like Reapers have a deadline.

Well, altough the Reaper objective of protecting organics is real, they would want to "save" the organics of other galaxies (assuming all of them would have sentient life). Based on their estimated FTL speed of 30 Light Years in 24 hours, the Reapers, departing from the Milky Way, would take approximately 2740 years. It's a long time, but for them its not an impossible travel.

I'm not sure it would be necessary. At 30 ly/day and without having to refuel (the reapers are capable of both) it would take a measley 238 years to get to the Andromeda galaxy. That's nothing to a reaper.

The andromeda galaxy is 2.6 million light years away from Earth. At 30ly/day, it would take only 237.44 years to travel from Earth to Andromeda.

No. Bioware's based in Canada. Makes sense they're hire locally, especially for minor parts. As for the asari councilor, why does the last voice of the Protheans have a heavy Jamaican accent? Like anvil heavy.

In the art book, that room is actually listed as being apart of Cerberus Headquarters, not The Citadel. You were to walk past all those bodies, and arrive at the Illusive Man's office. Least according to the art book.

Alright, I got it, it's what if time *tinfoil hat equipped*
What if... The indoctrination attempt....Starts on The Illusive Man's station? That's where the end-game save reverts you to, right? Simple explanation, after the Station mission you can't go anywhere else so it would be an ideal place to have an end-game save.... but, what IF?
