Who's Nyreen by the way?


Aria's secret female Turian lover.

If you believe the incoming slashfiction.  Otherwise she's jsut her second in command, or trusted ally.

We all know that the only name good for a tank is Mammoth.

Okay, I am pretty late to the tank debate, but I couldn't resist to add tanks that were actually planned to be build.
Watch in awe:
The Mouse (it was first dubbed Mammoth btw)

 Not the Mammonth i meant. 

One of these - mk2 or mk3

What times we live in, when people need to be reminded what a mammonth tank is...:crying:

I like the Mammoth that actually looks like a tank more. And you could build more than one at least. Tank rush ftw!

And I know what you mean, I really feel old right now.

I like that one more too. And the fact that it is actually mammonth mk3. :D and it is this way because that fancy walker mk2 turned out to be ineffective.

How did we never pick up on all these hints before?

Nurse in the hospital: "He can't remember his own name without the VI in his head telling him what it is. Trust me, in this place, we know dead."

What does it have to do with hinting at IT?


It's a discussion between the hospital receptionist and a visitor. receptionist claims that Huerta is dead, the visitor says he isn't.

Hospital Visitor: "It's completely tasteless to call this place Huerta Memorial."

Hospital Receptionist: "President Huerta died of a stroke two years ago, ma'am."

Hospital Visitor: "I think you meant to say 'the man was dead for an hour and a half, and his political enemies piled on enough propaganda to get the name of the hospital changed.'"

Hospital Receptionist: "He can't remember his own name without the VI in his head telling him what it is. Trust me, in this building, we know dead."


Hospital Visitor: "The supreme court says he is alive."

Hospital Receptionist: "Five Justices say he is alive, two of which appointed by him. The name is what it is."

This could foreshadow the events after ME3, where people think Shepard is dead, but Shepard isn't. Completely consistent with my recent finds.

Is this my confirmation bias at work, or am I on to something here?


Also, Avina says the donor who suggested the hospital name desired to remain anonymous. :lol:

So, if all of this is indeed foreshadowing, Shepard will be partly indoctrinated after the events of ME3. He'll be considered (brain)dead and there will be some kind of thing called after Shepard, as if (s)he died. The one who did this, is Shepard's political enemy.

The Illusive Man? The Reapers?

Might be. I proposed something similar a few months ago. Namely, that Shepard is left paralyzed and hence there's a need for a new protagonist. It would be a sad end for a hero though. Another solution would be to make Shepard the new villain of ME4, or concentrate the story on Shepard fighting off Indoctrination.

EDIT: I'm sure by the end of the 22nd Century there will have been cures for paralysis and all sorts of brain damage found.


Dosent have to be a physical condition putting Shepard out of the fight. Even if he fights of Indoctrination it wont be gone for good. As we know the damage is not something which can simply be undone and will continue to grow. In short even if Shepard breaks free and turns the battle at Earth around he might realize just how close he was to failing and opt to go in voluntary confinement so that he wont turn upon all he love.

That would pave the way for a new hero to rise even as Shepard remains alive but out of the fight. A key part of a sequel could then be finding a way to detect and cure or at least a way to halt Indoctrination, both for Shepard and other troops.

It could also open some potentially heartbreaking moments if you transfer over a game where Shepard had a LI and seeing her or him visit Shepard in his confinement, watching as they talk to him through a glass wall or similar. Make it even more horrifying and depict Shepard's decent into Indoctrination with him potentially starting to go increasingly mad from the Indoctrination, talking to himself and hearing voices with the LI looking on in grief unable to help him/her. Bonus points if the LI is Liara who visits with her's and Shepard's child.

To add the final heartbreaking or loving moment make Shepards recovery entirely dependent on the player's choices and/or speed at which he pursues a cure.

Shepard as a patient in a mental institution? That's a novelty. Posted Image Voluntary confinement? And who's going to pay for that. Tax payers?

T-34 would have gotten my vote.  Or the SU-76 or SU-85.

Or the US Sherman.

Or sheer industry and manpower.

Why are people more interested in the trailer than the actual thing.

Because we know that the DLC is coming, but the trailer is a mystery. But are we really more interested in the trailer than the DLC? Not sure.

That you're right, they're a little late with the trailer release. Maybe there's no trailer coming?

University. Working hard 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 2 weeks a year. It's like being unemployed only your parents are proud of you.

In my case it's a bit more than 2 weeks/year but a bit less than 24 hours/day...but I agree.:P
