Hello fellow mass effect fanatics,
I have a question for you all about biotic amplifiers (bio-amps) and biotic implants

this is a codex entry on bio-amps:

"Biotics manipulate mass effect fields using dozens of element zero nodules within their nervous system that react to electric stimuli from the brain. Bio-amps allow biotics to synchronize the nodules so they can form fields large and strong enough for practical use. Amplifiers can improve a specific discipline or talent.

An implant is a surgically-embedded interface port into which amps are "plugged in". They are also known as 'wetware' because of their cybernetic nature. In humans, the implant is usually placed at the base of the skull for convenient access, though the user must be careful to keep it free of contaminants.

Implant ports can fit a variety of amps, and there is a growing market for modifications and add-ons. The finest quality implants and amps are manufactured by asari artisans, but the Alliance's L3 implants - first deployed in 2170 - are a significant step forward."


we know there are currently L2, L3, L4?, L5 human implants right?(not counting asari implants because we don't know any by name)
I understand that in ME2 Shepard (if biotic) was wired with L5 implant (convinient that her body was just meat and tubes - great oportunity to upgrade)
but there are many times for example with Jack, she found schematics for L5x implants - probably different implant than pure L5, so how could you change from L3 to L5 or from L5 to L5x without going under the knife? I don't get it, bio-amps apparently dissappeared in ME2 and ME3 but bioware is doing space magic with changing implants in Shepards body without operation O.o

anybody knows the answer??? plz

Come on, savegames are space magic Maybe L5x is not a different implant but an amp, or software upgrade, thus no consecutive model number but a suffix, "x". Or maybe it's possible to physically modify intracranial device from outside, just like you pop drones out of nowhere. Who cares, after all? It's not a major plot hole and you definitely have better things to deliberate
