Some of the things I can't figure out after playing this game several times over...
- what are you supporting or not supporting in Huerta hospital with the 2 women?
- why is it renegade to salute and finish the marine cheer in the bar with James when you first meet him there?
- what type of biotic implant does vanguard/adept Shepard have? I hear L2s and L5s mentioned but does it ever say what he has?
- why is Bailey, c-sec officer, whereing an alliance uniform?
Anyone else got any... Questions or answers?

1) This was probably just supposed to prompt the player to think about what constitutes being alive ,and the whoever buys a bunch of stuff for us decides the name was probably supposed to be some commentary on the way things work in our society.

 

2) Because paragon/renegade options/interrupts are the only choice system there is in the game so they just picked one. My guess is they went with renegade because the cheer has a more renegade attitude to it but I believe you just get straight reputation out of it anyways.

 

3) I believe it was said somewhere that they are variations of the L5.

 

4) Character model reuse.

Adepts have L5x implants, and Vanguards have L5n implants. Liara's the only character that ever mentions Shepard being a particular class within the vanilla part of the game, other than that, Shepard is a Soldier most, if not all, cutscenes.

When Samantha brings up Grissom, she mentions that Shepard may of been at the school if it was open 20 years ago if Shepard is playing as a biotic

Hmm, I never really noticed that. Some things are just a bit too small to really make a difference in the narrative.

Those little details though are the type of thing I appreciate in a game, if there's enough of them they add up to enough attention to detail to make the game feel much more alive.

Samantha will also mention Shepard being a colonist. Don't know about a spacer Shepard

Yeah, I'm a Spacer. Not sure if I've ever noticed a difference since I don't change my Shep's service history.

[eyezonlyii]

If you're a spacer, you get to talk to your mother at some point during the game I believe

Only within the Citadel DLC, otherwise, Hackett will mention that she's alive.

[RanetheViking]

Unless he's talking about ME1 when you do that side mission (Spacer background) and talk to her in the comm room.

"Old unhappy far off things", I think it's called.

In regards to Bailey if you look closely at everyone in an alliance uniform, including Shepard, you'll notice it's the same body with a different head. You can get away with it the first two runs without noticing but by the third you're shaking your head at it.

[ZipZap2000]

@Rane you meet him in the wards entrance and talk to your mum and find out he was on Mindoir which is where colonist Shep story begins. I love how they did that.

That conversation was connected to a chain of old Cerberus news stories from ME2:

Earth Nations in Suspense as Systems Alliance Hears Ford v. Huerta

 

“The nations of Earth are in suspense tonight as the Systems Alliance hears Ford v. Huerta, the first case of a human leader using reconstructive data storage to prolong his brain functions and stay physically capable to perform his duties. Speaker of the House Lisa Ford has led the charge against Huerta, saying that the last year of his term was illegitimate. A stroke left the President legally dead and in cryocool for an hour and a half before his brain functions were fully transferred to a computer. The amount of memory degradation was never fully revealed. According to the United North American States' line of succession, if Huerta was considered dead, then power would transfer to the Vice President and Speaker Ford would have held the position of Vice President for the last year.”

 

 

 

Petitioner's Witness Testifies in Ford v. Huerta

 

"Expert witnesses were introduced today in the Systems Alliance trial of Ford v. Huerta, starting with the petitioner's side. Dr. Samuel Wachhaus testified today that President Huerta was brain-dead for too long to make a full recovery. Questioned on Huerta's apparent cognitive health afterward, Wachhaus testified that the VI ran Huerta's artificial memory so successfully that it took over his brain functions so that "there was no Huerta anymore. This is not a person with a VI memory, it's a VI with a partially-organic operating system". The respondent's experts will begin testimony tomorrow.”

 

 

 

Defendant's Witness Asserts President Huerta Made Full Recovery

 

"Expert witness Dr. Lin Shiyin testified in the Systems Alliance trial of Ford v. Huerta today. He claimed that the former president made a full recovery from a temporarily brain-dead state. Stumbling a little when grilled on Huerta's timeline of cognition, Lin nevertheless made the case for Huerta being in full control once his motor functions and memory were assigned synthetic analogues. "To believe that he is now a different person, a synthetic, is to draw a line where no line is needed", he argued. "A new man did not appear on the table when the first open-heart surgery was performed. His life was merely extended beyond what was thought possible at the time".

 

 

 

 

System Alliance Finds in Favor of President Huerta in 5-4 Decision

 

“The controversial Earth court case of Ford v. Huerta came to a close today with a 5-4 decision supporting the end of the President's term. Chief Justice Ling announced, "This is not the first time human beings have technically died only to be brought back with proper medical attention. That the window of resuscitation has lengthened is no reason to support a partisan attack on the legitimacy of the President. The legal definition of death must be expanded beyond brain death to include cellular death as well". Following the decision, protesters erupted into violence on the Washington, D.C., Mall and in Mexico City's Chapultepec Park. The crowds chanting "Down with the zombie!" were quickly suppressed as riot police cleared the capitols with microwaves and stunners. More protests are reportedly planned for the weekend.”

The discussion at Huerta Memorial just gives Shepard a chance to weigh in with his or her opinion on whether or not Huerta is still Heurta, and gain a few free reputation points.

 

O/T: LOL @ "Down with the Zombie!"

There's also a bit in the Ardat-Yakshi monastery where as a biotic, if Kaidan is in your squad and Samara survived- when she does the biotic leap down, where he wishes that she could teach them that.

I sure hope they bring back those Cerberus Daily News briefs (minus the Cerberus, of course). Those were one of my favorite parts about ME2 and they were such a simple little thing to add in, since it's basically just text.

Yeah, I'd love to see something similar return as well. They add to the atmosphere of the game universe and similar to codex entries, expand the backstory and lore. 

[RanetheViking]

Coincidentally I played that mission last night where you talk to your mother. But it always feels like I'm talking to Helena Blake. 

@Rane you meet him in the wards entrance and talk to your mum and find out he was on Mindoir which is where colonist Shep story begins. I love how they did that.

I actually missed it the first few times I played.

I don't really understand the Cerberus News Network. Is it those news terminals in-game or what...?

[ZipZap2000]

It's like foxnews but with less BS and only slightly more xenophobic. Not that I can talk much living in modern Australia is like a foxnews special.

I just love how countries founded on immigrants with the immigrants far outpopulating the natives turn into racist hellholes.

 

Hypocracy beyond description. Hilarious.

Just found the Cerberus Daily News forum and it looks very interesting. I think I might join it.

If you're talking about ME2, then it does exist on the main menu, but because the updates have passed, all previous news can't viewed anymore. The same goes for ME3. ME3 had like Alliance News Network on the terminal in the main menu when the game was still being supported and the game was still pretty new.
