Looking at individual lines, Shotgun Julia already covered the "Asari can mate with each other?" one. I guess a close second is at the end of Freedom's Progress in ME2.

Shepard: *looking at footage of what are obviously aliens* "What's a Collector? Is that some kind of alien?"

Miranda: "No, Shepard, Collectors are cosplaying humans. Answer the ad on space-Craigslist and they'll issue you your outfit."

If I remember correctly the, "the Asari can mate with each other," line is entirely optionaly and thus should not be included; the same is with the Collector line.

Being optional doesn't matter. It's a line in the game.

To be completely fair, the term Collector doesn't really imply anything. Going by the fuzzy footage, they could have been a very flamboyantly dressed mercenary gang. :P

The scene that's really rich, though, is Shepard asking Kirrahe what the Genophage is.

You can just feel any hope Kirrahe had in his newly arrived backup vanish instantly.

It's even better if you already had this conversation with Wrex aboard the Normandy.

A fact for which I am very grateful. The only time I used those lines was when roleplaying a particularly dimwitted Shepard.

Yep, you're all set. Be at the mall in-costume at 2:00PM sharp. Last chance to practice choreography is behind the Hooters on 64th street at 11AM.

What I mean is that it's their in case people are actually confused about Asari reproduction. I'm sure a select number of people found Asari reproduction confusing.

I always choose that line. Shepard obviously isn't asking whether or not they're aliens, just establishing that he hasn't heard of them, as opposed to every other alien species worth knowing about.

I always cringe at the convorsation with Athyta(?) in ME3, where she tells you that she's Liara's mother. I don't remember the exact wording, but one of the options called something like "Her father?" has you say:

Shepard: "You mean her other mother?"

Athyta: "No, I didn't pop her out."

Shepard: "Sorry, in human terms you'd be her other mother."

and then Athyta rightly calls you out for being a jackass.

I've totally been developing my muscles and my bricklike emotional state for this one moment.

But, it's inconsistent!  Therefore plot hole! :alien: 

This particular observation did make me laugh, though.  I mean, it makes sense to observe that... it's just.... you know?

Not to pick on anyone.

I guess he could have been asking if they're aliens, or simply humans who like to collect alien bodies... and play dress up?


---edit
just incase I have to point this out I used the term collect to reference the collectors. I shouldn't have to point this out, but you never know.

In ME1 Shepard does have a lot of ignorance about the other races as if he/she was just defrosted. It's obviously done to educate new gamers but it makes Shepard come across as an idiot.

Who were the protheans?
Why are these beacons so important?
Why do elcor describe what they're about to say?
Why do you refer to yourself as "this one" and "it", hanar?
What do you know about the geth?
What's a quarian pilgrimage?
Asari can mate with anyone?
Asari can mate with each other?
What were the rachni wars?
What were the krogan rebellions?
What's the genophage?
What's the genophage again, Kirahee?

According to the codex sea levels on Earth have risen 2m. I'll tell you something, if they had Priority Earth in London would play out in a completely different way. No hanging around near the Hungerford Bridge for a start.

Where do I begin. ME3 alone is filled with a lot of poorly written scenes ( for what it's worth ME1 and ME2 have also have thier fare share of moments although they are a lot more rare ).

Off the top of my head the worst offender in the ME series is the whole entire introduction to ME3. All the dialogue from the moment we see that little boy playing with his toy ship up until the moment Shepard leaves earth on the Normandy is especially painful. My least favourite part of ME3 ( and the whole entire series ) by far.

while 2 metres are bothing to sneeze at, this level can still be compansated by dams - even with todays technology.

i guess they build even bigger floodgates to safeguard cities like london, bremen, venice, hamburg etc.


i could let this pass ... but you are basically right - they made an assumption but did not show it ingame (like many other things).

if you look at the swanky ending slides, the river shape is basically the same with nice, low, accesble banks.
But now I am really nitpicking :D

maybe the flood gate was built at the river mouth ...

this would even make sense, it would still be cheaper to build one giant flood gate, than to reenforce hundrets of kilometres of dams.


BUT .. you made me think about vancouver .. its a coastal city. to all those bsn-users from vancouver? .. did you notice an increased sea-level?

The Keepers were a silly mechanism in the first place. Why have a Keeper run someplace and push a button? Can't the thing that tells the Keeper to push the button just push the button itself?


Well, not if it was a Reaper. At least not without giving its intent away and complicating matters. It's hard to imagine every race that ever walked the Citadel being so intellectually uncurious as to never study the Keepers, though.


So Sovereign can signal the keepers but can't signal the relay itself? Why put the keepers in the middle?

Anyway, the larger point is that prothean scientists get to the Citadel, sabotage stuff, and the Relay doesn't open. I don't see how ME3 actually changes anything about this  except that some of Vigil's guesswork wasn't quite accurate.

The only thing i can think of is that the Citadel relay has to be completely powered down - not just kinnect powered down in order to not having the younger races discover it.. still a bit wierd.

But what about this - The Protheons build the conduit which means they made the relay on Ilos, Then traveled to the Citadel by spacecraft to place the smaller relay, Then traveld back to Ilos to enter the Ilos relay only to pop up right next to the Citadel small relay.. so why didn't they just do what they had to do the first time they were at the Citadel. :)
