I dunno.  I see a resemblance.

 

I have to guess you are either joking or your eyesight is really bad.

Well, my eyesight is not great, but I wear glasses/contacts to compensate.

Well then I can't fault you on your choice of cuttlefish pic, as it seems to make my point even more obvious.

[Dean_the_Young]

Dean, any chance of you being signed up as lead writer?

 

No thank you.

 

I can outline, I can plan, and I can do structure and design, but I can't write worth ****.

[teh DRUMPf!!]

 Weird or unpopular ones, perhaps, but no 'outlandish' opinions here.

 

ME1--

Saren was a lame character/villain. Only Sovereign was truly interesting on the 'bad' side.

Liara should not have been a character, never mind squadmate. Shiala would have been a far better choice in her place.

Persuasion as a skill to invest points in is a lousy system.

 

ME2--

The Suicide Mission is vastly overrated and the music gives it the illusion of being far more epic than it really is.

Garrus was particularly badly-written in this episode.

Though ME2's supposed strength is the characters, it is the least of the three in that regard IMO.

Lair of the Shadow Broker DLC is not that fun.

Morinth is better than Samara.

The Hammerhead is better than the Mako.

 

ME3--

... is the best overall game of the trilogy.

The progression of Jack's character arc was good (re: posts ITT).

The ending is decent. Not amazing. Not awful. Decent.

The Catalyst's motives are understandable, if not flawless, and its existence arguably makes the Reapers more alien and not less so.

IT does not make for a cool/interesting ending, or even relatively more cool/interesting.

[Lady Artifice]

No thank you.

This statement is very inaccurate.

Cosign.

Name me one good story I've ever written.

[Annos Basin]

MEA's protagonist should be a descendant of Admiral Hackett.

They'd be called Hackett? I wouldn't mind.

 

I wouldn't mind my andromedagonist (if male) to have a voice like Admiral Hackett's btw.

 

 

ETA:

I meant, the more or less confirmed connection could work as long as lineage isn't part of the story in any way. It should be at most just something random that doesn't affect on what the character is like and what others expect from them. (And of course no effect on looks, because CC. Now I wish they'd never shown his face. The voice was so cool on its own.) I'm not a big fan of stories about living up to some family name that practically defines your destiny (it seems popular storyline with writers for some reason, but less with audience, now that I think about the jrpgs I've played and how each of them was received). But Hackett is ok name and the guy was memorable enough, it wouldn't be unpleasant to be maybe associated with him.

The council was right not to send it's fleet to Ilos. And probably saved the galaxy by not doing it.

Quarian Loghain was right to blow up the Geth Dreadnought

Recruiting Wrex in the first place makes no damn sense

Preventing Technological Singularity was a pretty good idea for a motivation for the Reapers.

The council was wrong for not sending the Normandy to Ilos though, could've also doomed the galaxy.

[Fredward]

I have to guess you are either joking or your eyesight is really bad.

 

My eyes are perfect and they look waaaaay more like cuttlefish/some other cephalopod inspired thing than leaf nymphs.

 

EDIT:

 

- I was okay with ME3s ending even BEFORE the EC.

- I don't actively loathe Kai Leng's existence.

- Mark Meer as Shepard is almost as bad as listening to Geralt.

[Wulfram]

Maybe. But with hindsight, Shepard could have just hung around on the presidium and achieved the same result, perhaps more easily.

[Dantriges]

You're ignorring Wrex's actual role in ME1 by neglecting to mention how his arc on Virmire ends. If Wrex isn't talked down against viewing the genophage cure as the solution, he dies: the end, thematic fullfillment of what he was saying all along. The only way Wrex lives is if he is talked down against putting Krogan cures over the good of the galaxy, after which any and all living Wrex's go on to start a breeding-control politics. Any ME3 with Wrex is playing with a Wrex who has already had the character development to rise above the delusion that the cure is what will save the Krogan.

 

I thought the point was that Saren holds the key to the cure and that submitting to his will was a price too high. Holding the base was impossible and unless you have Cerberus download speeds and everything is nicely in one database saving the data wasn´t an option. A bit odd, that there wasn´t an option to at least save part of the data but well... 

Well at least I thought that Wrex went along with it because he didn´t want the Krogans to be Sarens servants, not something like the good of the galaxy. At least it was presented this way, or is there a different dialogue in english? 

[Silcron]

No thank you.

 

I can outline, I can plan, and I can do structure and design, but I can't write worth ****.

 

So basically you'd be doing a lead writer's job, without chipping in to write stuff like they usualy do.

Those really are the most weird and outlandish opinions. I believe you may have just won this thread.

06. I hate Joker. Yes I said it. I think he's one of the most annoying characters in the series and wanted to throw him out the airlock at the start of ME2.

07. I find Ashley's 'religious' views refreshing (all she really does is believe in an afterlife and higher power but the things people assume...)

08. I liked the Mako in the first game

6. Ooh, I could never stand the guy. Sorry, Seth.

 

7. Agreed. I wouldn't have minded seeing some more religious themes in ME, either human or alien.

 

8. Mako

[bondari reloads.]

Everything about this post is just....wrong.
 
I'm sorry I share no agreement with you bondari.

I should hope so. I gave it my best shot

They'd be called Hackett? I wouldn't mind.

I wouldn't mind my andromedagonist (male and female both) to have a voice like Admiral Hackett's btw.

Agreed on both counts, bolded minor correction aside. Bishop Hackett.

[KaiserShep]

Conrad Verner is the most endearing NPC in the entire series.

[Fixers0]

Lord Darius is the best antagonist of the series.

 

 

"I'd hoped the Alliance would take this meeting seriously. Instead they insult me by sending a military grunt to show me how thoug they are."

[The Heretic of Time]

Reapers do not and never have borne any resemblance to a  "cuttlefish", or any cephalopod for that matter. They do however look similar to the type of insect their form was directly copied from. A Leaf Insect nymph.

 

Dunno dude, I don't think reapers look exactly like lief insect nymphs. They look more like cuttlefish to me.

 

I'm pretty certain actually that the concept artist of the ME trilogy said in the Art of Mass Effect book that the reapers were based on deep-sea creatures. I might be wrong. I sadly can't check right now cause I've left my Art of Mass Effect book at my parents' place.

 

Anyone else having the Art of Mass Effect book at hand who could confirm or debunk this?

 

Edit: Nevermind, already found it and I was wrong:

[Torgette]

Maybe. But with hindsight, Shepard could have just hung around on the presidium and achieved the same result, perhaps more easily.

 

Maybe, they still needed the codes from Vigil to gain control of the Citadel, the hard part of staying would be knowing where Saren would attack ahead of time because otherwise it's hard to stop him.

Same, I think depicting religion in a future where different space faring species interact with eachother on a daily basis would've be interesting.

Dammit... you've found out I'm a fraud. My opinions aren't weird or outlandish at all, but apparently based on what the ME Artists have said.

[dreamgazer]

Eh.

 

 

It is what it is.
