Dombrow worked on Bioshock Infinite's horrifically wretched DLC, so he may be part of Levine's staff he laid off.

 

God, Burial At Sea was awful.

That was actually a terrible idea. A convicted felon with anger issues working with kids was just highly irritating (and if only for the sole reason that no one in their right mind would hire her for that). And since he also turned Wrex from ruthless merc into a wise and peaceful leader it makes me wonder, does he have the urge to rehabilitate every crook and miserable bastard and turn them into saints? Would Morinth be fighting against poverty in the galaxy if she were written by him? Writing characters consistently should also be on his list.

 

 

That is true actually, now that I think of it. The Omega DLC did a solid to good job in giving you control over your character. I loved the part where Aria can call Shepard a "truly dangerous person" depending on your dialogue choices. Does anyone know who is responsible for the writing here?

 

It really isn't that out of place given Wrex's story about his first failed attempt at being a leader for his people.

He also was one of the writers on Telltale's Game of Thrones.

A convicted felon who mostly killed Cerberus. That's what she was in that prison for. According to Miranda. And then later, Mac expanded on the story in Foundation.

 

It's not different than me mass killing every Cerberus mook in ME1..... they might've been people, but they did nasty stuff. It's like Samara says.. "What use is it for me to know they have children and a life of their own" (I'm paraphrasing here). I can understand being so angry that you dehumanize your opponents. I'd be a hypocrite if I condemned Jack for it. Not to mention my Shep is Earthborn and grew up like crap too. I'm not some Paragon weenie who has to finger wag at every criminal element in the game.

 

 

As for Wrex... he had the only line in ME1 that almost made me shed a tear (Because the game was corny otherwise): "I came with you because I wanted to fight for more than just credits." Something about the way he says it got to me... He was always wanting to move in a positive direction.

 

Morinth is a chaotic evil space vampire.. Jack is chaotic neutral. Not even the same.

 

I'm not condemning anyone, but it should be clear that she's definitely not capable to work with children or teens. Don't know what she was convicted for, but she did more than just that. Crashing a space station on a Hanar moon for example or executing Aresh in one of my playthroughs. That, and her difficult personality should be reason enough not to let children/teens anywhere near her.

Don't know if I can compare Jack and Morinth, but definitely Wrex and Morinth. Both killed without remorse. Contract kills on Noveria, Piracy, etc. By my RL standards he is just as evil as Morinth.

And now to clarify, because you seem to think I try to start some character/waifu fight. I liked all three characters i mentioned in the earlier games, miserable scumbags that they were. I wanted them to stay that way and to have their story written in a consistent and logical way and I don't think that happened in ME3.

His role as a peace bringer felt out of place for me. Even though he said he wanted the Krogans to stop fighting (for a few generations that is) it sounded like he just wanted this out of necessity, to focus on breeding. In the first game he was a ruthless and confrontative character who even wanted to kill a friend for money, so to have all this talk about "an anomaly" or "food taster" in 3 really didn't make sence to me.

[RatThing]

She was rescuing other kids in another facility, and Cerberus got the jump on her.

 

 

That said, I think ME3 should be reactive enough if you told her she was nothing but a killer and made her indulge that (like killing Aresh). But that's just as much a problem of Shep as it is Jack. Because she never was just a killer.

 

 

You know what? If you as a fan of her think it's a suitable role for her I won`t mess with you on this. But I definitely disagree.

[Orikon]

Worked at Telltale AND wrote Tuchanka,Citadel,Leviathan and JAVIK?

Mass Effect 4 best story of the year confirmed.

Wrex easily had some of my favorite bits of dialogue in ME1, and aside from Mordin, I think he has some of the best dramatic scenes in the series, though the last one requires betrayal which I can only do once and never again XD

As for Morinth, any Shepard that lets that mind raping vampire onboard should hook up with her.

[themikefest]

 I rarely recruit Wrex in ME1

[KaiserShep]

That's not even the worst part, since I saved Maelon's data and Mordin was alive in that playthrough. The feels, man. He does tell that whole story in ME1; you just never saw where it took place until 3.

Yeah, the whole questline is awesome, no matter what you do. But I go for the feelgood stuff too. I wish the whole game had been up to those standards.

 

If you two are talking about how awesome the quest line plays out for  Maelon and Mordin's  data in ME3 I would like to chime in and say the reason that it worked so well was simply that it was Mass Effect in it's purist form. The ending is for me the one saving grace in all of ME 3 . Nothing like Sheppard reaching out to her hand to capture particles like they were snowflakes. And the best part of it was that music Vigil was playing in the background. Yeah that was a Mass Effect moment.

The problem with these stories is that they required someone to do backstories after the fact. Jack didn't just blow up Cerberus. You heard her when you talked to her: murder, crashing a space station into a moon. I didn't read Mac's Foundation to find out all that stuff about Jack.

 

So now we have Jack being rehabilitated via post series comic. Starchild being justified by an "oh sh*t" DLC. And the clone... how could Miranda not know about the clone? So that had to be handled via post DLC comic.

 

The moral of the story is that once you dig yourself into a hole, when you try to climb out of it you fall back down only to find out the hole has gotten deeper.

If you can make excuses for Wrex you can easily make excuses for Morinth as well. You know what her condition was and what her choices were. Bottom line is still, they both chose to bekome killer.

They started digging the wrong way!!

I'm embarrassed to say I haven't play any of the Bioshocks (tried the first once, but it was a false start). Played System Shock though.

 

 

It's too bad if he went out on a bad note though.

Play the first two Bioshocks. The first one is a flawed classic, and the sequel while filling holes in the first game, was a very nice antithesis in to the first game and its DLC is masterful.

 

Avoid Infinite and its DLC. In fact the DLC ruins the first two Bioshocks and causes so many plot holes.
