"Humans are a minor, unimportant state" was a cool and fairly atypical dimension that I liked. Kind of got thrown out as early as ME1 finale, and even some ambient conversations like that, though.
A lot of the later warping was probably because of how determined they were to make The Battle for Earth the grand finale of the series, and thus the need to contrive reasons for the Reapers to hang out on Earth waiting for everyone to come hit them with their spaceships
i dont understand why the reapers need to have the skeleton of the processed species if they are gonna get a squid exterior
I pretty much just still don't understand anything about the whole "we pick a species and turn it into a reaper" idea
too complex for humans to understand, pups
too complex for humans to understand, pups
Reapers are harder to read than Heidegger
22nd century college seniors look upon Reaper texts with fear
reapers are a lot scarier than nazis so like yeah
rumor has it hegel was actually a reaper himself

there's a new Litho commemorating mass effect saga coming out soon and it looks kinda pretty bad:
I am sure that I am not alone in appreciating that Kaidan is nowhere to be found on this thing (or is relegated to the background somewhere, probably being sweaty). I feel like they were maybe going for a Star Wars original trilogy vibe, but they failed a bit at capturing it.
it more or less looks like he just started plugging characters into the places where he knew characters are supposed to be, in that Star Wars-style poster convention, without any real concern for what placement meant or expressed
just comes off as slapdash and crowded
I mean it's boring to use that convention for everything anyway, but if you're going to then you might as well do it right
plus mediocre renders and bad writing
it just feels like too many characters to put on one poster without it looking hella contrived. i guess it really captures mass effect spirit in that sense
oh well
maybe I should just be glad there's no Kai Leng
was thinking more about what Bioware could have done with Thane, struck again by how little Thane's presence in ME3 has to do with threads that were established in ME2.
Characters like Jack, Miranda, Mordin didn't get great arcs or anything but at least their scenes provided some closure for them.
Jack finds purpose and a place of medical and ideological safety.
Miranda gets to see her father dealt with once and for all, along with contributing significantly to the War Effort, which fits her Big Picture mindset.
Mordin gets to cure the genophage, and, while his sudden change of heart is a poorly-executed writing decision, t's at least apropos.
Thane just gets to be a martial-arts punching dummie for Kai Leng.
There's no resolution about Kolyat or what he's been up to, and thus nothing that provides closure on Thane's loyalty quest from ME2.
There's no development with the things Thane would generally talk about in convos, such as the drells' client status, the Kepral's epidemic, etc
I mean Kolyat shows up and I guess we're supposed to interpret him as reformed, but that all happens off-screen? As does Thane coming to terms with his coming death, which he wasn't as of the end of ME2.
So all of the interesting development that might've happened is off-screen and we don't get to see or hear about any of it. I think that's the most frustrating thing, along with the unnecessarily railroaded death.
it's just surprising to me that all of them were seemingly on board with that level of crap writing
it's insane
like
what?
u were all on the same train
ok
Eh I always figured that was a lie and more competent people had to tiptoe around Mac
I mean that would explain the unevenness
i just
well yeah but
how did so many people fear his wrath enough to not be like
but what if we wrote this in a way that was good
maybe they didn't want to encourage him to come into their spaces by coming into his space
Retour en haut
