- Donnelly has the most attrocious scottish accent ever and I always cringe when he speaks. I should know because I am scottish. ''Islay'' is pronounced eye-la. Not e-lay.  ****g dobber.

I'm so glad I'm not the only person who noticed that. Also the way he pronounces "murder" 

Yeah, and he calls the illusive man a 'scunner'. I rarely hear that word being said anyway but even so you don't use it like that. It would make more sense if he said ' I took a scunner towards the illusive man'.

To anyone interested scunner means a strong disliking of.

The Mass Effect Happy Ending Mod is stupid and horrible fanfiction and the EC endings are much better.

I love Mass Effect 3.

Both single player and multi-player.

...Lovecraftian villain(s) need Lovecraftian hero(s) and setting to work effectively, ME franchise was never that.

I strongly beg to disagree.

Shepard is shown a glimpse of the future and plays the Cassandra role in the face of a complacent and ignorant galaxy for two entire games; to the point, in fact,t that even after the Reapers arrive no small portion of the galaxy remains in complacent denial, and those acutely aware of the situation remain paralyzed by confusion and ignorance until forced to act. This leads directly to the events of ME3: an invasion by ancient aliens whose level of power above that of organics' and for their own unpreparedness lends credence to the perception of godhood.

Moreover, Shepard can be of questionable heritage in two of three pre-service histories, particularly in the event Shepard is a biotic (the colonist background is highly questionable, and the earthborn background is outright lore-contradictory, with potentially-damning implication, if Shepard is biotic). Shepard undergoes questionable events which go largely unexplained, that try his/her sanity throughout the game (like, for example the beacon and the Lazarus project), ends up quite isolated and detached, with a fracturing psyche by the trilogy's end.

Moreover, the viscerate design and nature of the Reapers, their forces, and even to a certain extent the geth (as their design is distinctly gigerian) remains a consistent, emphasized attribute of each antagonist and faction respectively. Indoctrination itself is a plot device that forces the player to question characters' behavior and psychology, remains pervasive throughout the trilogy, and directly recalls themes of hopelessness and insanity.

Rest assured, even though you may disagree the ME trilogy even at its thematically weakest (ME2) remains quite strong in its Lovecraftian inspiration and thematic elements.

Saren manages to seize control of the Citadel which a small force of Geth, all of whom would have immediately been tagged as hostiles the moment they jumped through the Conduit. Anything that Saren could have done with the Geth he could have also done with indoctrinated Asari commandos. The difference is that had Saren not gotten himself declared rogue by ttacking Eden Prime, neither he or the commandos would have been flagged as hostile until they launched the attack on Citadel Control.

There is also the problem of Saren attacking Eden Prime to access the Prothean beacon, when he already had a beacon on Virmire.

If Saren walked into the council chamber with a bunch of Asari commandos c-sec would definitely have reacted. Don't forget what Wrex said about the snipers.

With regards to the beacon on Eden Prime, how do you know that Saren didn't need it? It seems to me as if you're basing your entire claim on there being a plot hole upon Saren not needing the beacon on Eden Prime, but how do you know that? Yeah he had a beacon on Virmire but that doesn't mean that the beacon on Virmire contained the same information as the one on Eden Prime. Actually considering how Saren says that the beacon on Eden Prime led him closer to finding the Conduit really just tells me that he needed it.

Yeah, Shepard licked a salarian before launching the attack on Saren's complex and was tripping balls by the time s/he got to the beacon room. Shepard didn't actually access that beacon.

Multiplayer was a good aspect. Just because people don't like interaction does not make it a bad feature.

[M74]

I don't remember James or Allers.
Who are they anyway?
Have they been on the Normandy?
I don't recall.

[Ryoten]

I have one.....

I wish that Iiggy002 was a salarian bounty hunter that i had to team up with to take down his ultimate bounty.......Harbinger.

- I liked the Mako even if it was as easy to drive as a soaped sock.
- I find Miranda largely overrated, her character dull, her loyalty mission boring as hell (next to Jacob). The few of the credibility I gave her was butchered in ME3.
- I spared Morinth in ME2.
- Multiplayer is for me a no-go.

MP would be a fine extra feature if it didn't cap the Galactic readiness at 50% in the SP....that's the issue.

- I liked Arrival
- I think Liara is overrated. Don't get me wrong, I like Liara, just not as much as everyone else.
- I didn't mind Shepard's dream sequences.

That Mass Effect 3's ending was far superior than that of Mass Effect 2.

The new squadmates- EDI, Vega, Javik. Are way more interesting than the New characters of Mass Effect 2- Jack, Thane, Legion, Zaeed, Miri, Samara, Kasumi, Mordin, Grunt, Jacob.

1. Enjoyed ME1 combat the most out of all the games, even though it wasn't the best.

2. Loved Ashley in ME1 and ME3. Seems most people either pick one or neither.

3. Though James was hilarious: great character, relatable. Was good to have a 'new guy'.

4. Despite repetitive interiors and planet stuff, the Mako Exploration was one of the things I enjoyed the most. Loved the feeling of mystery and slight foreboding every time I landed on a planet.

5. The dialogue wheel was wrong during big places. We associate the top with paragon and the bottom with renegade, which makes some of the big choices in the game confusing in terms of morality. We should have to make our own moral reasoning with the choices rather than having that connotation in the back on the mind whilst making big choices in the game. Would have been better to have one choice on one side of the wheel and vice versa.

Reaper IFF is the single worst mission of the entire trilogy.

You mean you don't like being cluster-****ed by husks?

Going back to ME2 made me miss ME3's improved class-based melee because of that mission.  Jack's a requirement for her shockwave

@Deinonslayer

I read through your reply to me in its entirety....six times I think? Simply put when you really get down to it your right. I think the paragon response to Gerrel blowing up the ship with you on it is most sensible. "You did the right thing but..dude..at least don't pretend I don't exist next time." It's also true that the geth could have put more effort into achieving peace than they did. One thing that always bugged me in ME2 was when Gerrel asked Legion if the geth would consider peace and Legion basically replied "Nah we wanna see you work for it. We wanna watch you squirm." It sounded like they expected the quarians (who the current generation as you said have done pretty much nothing to them) to do all the work. Didn't really care for that.

Also Legion 2.0 is an effing a-hole. Even when in the server and the issue of the quarians in the first war fighting FOR the geth came up his responses amounted to "Meh. Don't care. Why should I?" If that's how the geth really feel..man..makes it hard to feel sorry for them.

Finally, I love Xen. Her goals are actually the safest, most sound, and middle of the road compared to the others. Koris just wants everyone to submit to the geth at any cost. Gerrel just wants to blow them up at any cost. Xen wants the geth "alive" but reverted to a servant status without the need for physyical conflict. I love her on the dreadnought, she's cracks me up.

I forgot one.

That Tali's photoshopped face was so awesome and perfect. And not lazy or tacky at all.

All of the romances were just shallow multiple-choice tests with a cheesy cutscene of dryhumping as a reward.

That is indeed rare. The Liara love is strong, the Liara hate is strong, but in between?

Unpopular opinions? Everything since Virmire isn't real. It's an induced dream.

Now, go find me one person on this forum who won't think I'm crazy.
