i think me2 just wasn't as good at it because they didn't bother making the connections that you just did

 

the cerberus plot really ruined everything...they could have done things in a way where it would have been awesome and worked, but they didn't.

 

i mean, we shouldn't have just been dealing with cerberus the entire time -- that made the game feel too restricted and it largely felt cut off from the rest of the universe.  the terminus systems weren't interesting enough to make up for this because all we got was omega, which paled in comparison to the citadel.  it didn't have to be completely lackluster.  it felt weird that the council just let shepard go...there should have been more council interference idk.

 

and shepard being forcefully grounded in me3

 

lol come on

 

that game had the shakiest intro by far.  i had to hide my eyes through most of it because i was embarrassed.

 

 

I think I like the idea I talked about earlier of making Cerberus just be an alliance black ops division rather than this nebulous terrorist organization/corporation/illuminati thing.

 

It gives you a fluid way to introduce them during ME1 plot (as alliance secret service types, they would naturally be interested in the spectre business) without needing to derail everything, as happened in ME2/3. Plus Miranda and Jacob map over to that kind of group pretty cleanly, plus there are a lot of similar organizations/situations in the kind of media nerd writers can be expected to be familiar with (ONI in Halo, for instance, Section 13 in Star Trek) for them to steal ideas from. 

 

You could introduce them in ME1 as a shadier faction within the Alliance that heavily influenced Shepard's Spectre appointment, then slide them into more focus during ME2 without having to go through an elaborate digression 

 

and yeah, Arrival and the associated fallout were really dumb and should be omitted from people's re-writes and fics. Only purpose ended up being to provide an explanation for Shepard's grounding, which is easy to do without it.

it makes a lot more sense for them to exist as that kind of group, too.  like...cerberus origins doesn't make much sense.

I like how everyone ran out of good things they remember about ME.

[Pups_of_war_76]

I like how everyone ran out of good things they remember about ME.

 

there's always Space Pals and Space Locales

 

 

but as far as storyline goes, yeah

[Moussey]

the art and sound design has always been great

 

fantastic character designs and music

[hanar05]

Grunt is pretty much the only baby I'd consider adopting.
That's kinda positive.

[iqueefkief]

yeah i'd change grunt's diaper 

[Radahldo]

I really liked jacks design
How they elaborated on it in me3 was neat too. Cool hair and jacket


I did not like her romance, it is theworst one behind garrus

Garrus romance serves no character growth, incoherent fan service all the way through

[Pups_of_war_76]

I like the strong grasp the multiplayer devs have on the distinct combat identities of the various races

 

I always resented how codex made a big to-do about how the asari had the best troops (which I thought was cool at the time) and yet they they were never formidable when we saw them in any of the campaigns. Just chicks in leather who die really easily. Multiplayer asari characters feel genuinely distinct and badass for the first time, even if they're not as optimal for power-gaming as some of the more novel classes introduced later.

 

Similarly, the multiplayer really captures the stoicism and stand-up martial skill of the turians, the slipperiness of the salarians, the ruggedness and anger of the krogan, etc through its game mechanics. 

 

What I'm saying is that it's neat that they make all these things that are just interchangeable sprites in single-player into distinct things with different playstyles that capture what the lore tells us about these peoples. 

[Radahldo]

yes its preetty neat

 

the volus are pretty funny

[Pups_of_war_76]

also neat that they didn't make the volus super powerful just because they're an ultra-rare unlock from a late dlc. 

 

volus fighting is weird and unexpected, since it's something they're supposed to be bad at 

 

volus characters are generally ineffective except in support roles that take a lot of patience and coordination

 

it makes sense 

[Radahldo]

yes I wondered if they were gonna make an unstoppable biotic god

[Masha Potato]

a real life volus would kick all our asses

[Pups_of_war_76]

nuh-uh! 

[Radahldo]

how flexible are you, pups?

[Pups_of_war_76]

not very, man

[Moussey]

i like how this makes a return

 

[Moussey]

just looking back at old ME videos man

 

it gives me the feels

[Pups_of_war_76]

I wonder if they would have done more with Shepard's prothean beacon implants/The Cipher through ME1/2 if they'd had the Protheans fleshed out at the time. 

 

I assume they didn't have any actual vision of protheans at the time ME1 was written and they were just generic forbearers 

[Moussey]

Yeah essentially. I remember on Illos there were slightly humanoid statues that I assumed to be prothean at the time. They were in some of the beacon visions too.

I liked that they kept them deliberately vague though. It left room for a mystery to be solved after the first game.

Them being the collectors in the me2 was a total curve ball though. Except it didn't go anywhere and was essentially useless after the suicide mission

[Pups_of_war_76]

It's just weird that Shepard having ~the whole essence of this long-dead race~ doesn't come up more often, afterwards 

 

but we can say this about most things with shepard

[Radahldo]

I liked Kellys hair

 

I liked the cerberus standard casual attire  a lot. Really looked cool to me.

[Radahldo]

garrus is not a nice looking turian

I don't know why his facepaint stuff is so bland .. if he had cool face paint along with teh visor and interesting eyes, he'd long pretty cool

[Pups_of_war_76]

which turian has the best paint?
