What's your record these days?

undefeated. It actually kinda sucks because a lot of the time these plebs get intimidated and never back it up. Not a fun way to achieve victory.
 

As soon as ME3 becomes backwards compatible, I would happily challenge you again. I would like to experience first hand the punishment the thunderdome inflicts on it's contestants.

Not really. Your the one stressing its existance there is indicative of it being created there.

Despite interstellar trade being a thing.

Why would anyone else make a rifle they supposedly can't use for a glorious robot army they don't possess?

Either quarians invented it, or the descriptions and lore surrounding it are stupid (hint: it's both)

Come to think of it; does anyone know roughly when ME2/3 are becoming backwards compatible? Or is it still in the dark?

There's no information on that. Microsoft needs permission from EA before they can add those games.

 

Edit: I wouldn't be surprised if they're waiting to make it a promotion for MEA, like the ones Gears of War and Rainbow Six got. Purchase MEA and get ME1, ME2, and ME3 for free (back compat).

It was never stated it couldn't be fired by any species other then humanity without injury. It wasn't designed to be shot by them, but otherwise there is no limitation.

Yes, "efficient quarian design" apparently means "shatters your arm if fired unless you're a robot, krogan or cybernetically enhanced human"

 

Maybe the Quarian's weren't weak ass bitches back then.

No, thats just this new generation of crybabies coming up that live their life looking for something to get offended over. Real men still exist.

Not the same thing. I like seeing noobs get owned trying to fire high caliber weaponry as much as the next guy, but the point of the weaponry to begin with is that it's within the range of human abilities to fire. The Widow is specifically stated to shatter humanoid arms.
 

or cybernetically enhanced quarian (i.e. all of them), whenever a loyal robot servant isn't available to do the dirty work, of course. You're soft, asari, salarians, all soft.
 
We see augmented asari firing them in ME3 (Armali sniper unit). I can even put one on a volus. Space Jebus isn't that special.

You're all trying too hard to deny that which is obvious. We invented the best pistol (Arc), the "best" "shotgun" (Reegar, though I prefer Claymoar even if it's not as efficient) and the best grenade (Arc ). We also invented the Widow until the geth propaganda film is retconned from existence.

Stay salty lesser creatures.

Underlined: source? Unless you mean after peace is achieved, which is near the end of the game and therefore doesn't count.
 
Btw scub, by ME3 both the Widow and Claymore were redesigned to keep their stopping power but lower their recoil so lesser creatures could fire them. You're welcome. You suit rats have enough health problems as it is, without breaking your own damn spines trying to shoot the enemy.
 
You're right about the Arc Pistol and Reegar. But don't get too uppity. Isn't it time for your antibiotics?
 

It's elementary, my dear Watson. it can't be used by non augmented asari or salarians, who don't have robots to use it either, so have no reason to design it and can be ruled out. As for turians....just lol. Those primitives invented the horrible Predator, Krysae and Vindicator. They can use guns pretty well, but they aren't very good at designing them. Krogan? Fortack's perhaps a possibility if he was around, but the weapon itself is too precision engineering. It doesn't have blades sticking out of it or something else suitably primitive like other krogan designs. Also it's a sniper rifle, which a krogan simpleton would probably sooner try to use as a club than learn how to use as intended. Geth? The weapon was around before they learned how to even think.


Who else does that leave? The Hanar, Volus or Elcor? No, it's entirely obvious where a piece of such high tech death originally came from. The same place as the other, most superior weapons in their respective classes invented by the glorious Master Race.

Actually the elcor are a viable possibility. Higher gravity world, denser forms, and I could see such a powerful cannon being designed to be platform mounted before it was made hand portable. It'd be a popgun to them.
 
Also the first Widow we see is aboard the Collector ship. It's possible the ultra-powerful version we know is actually Collector built or modified, though the former is unlikely seeing as it doesn't look like it came off a bug.

 

We also don't see how the weapon fires in the archive footage. It may be that before thermal clips it was still efficient, but not the thunderbolt of Zeus it later became. It's likely whoever first converted it to thermal clips might've had a hardon for overkill and thus modified it to expel all its energy in one shot (why not since you change out the heat sink anyway). The resulting recoil showed them the error of their ways.

Unlikely. They did get kickbanned from their world by their very own "toasters".

Good point. But not all toasters are equal.

How quaint. Another soft human trying to bring the savage. Less than a finger deep to sever your spine, remember?

Bet you don't have it in you to back up your scandalous words in a 1v1. Lets see how well your canonically inferior health/shields and melee damage holds up in the thunderdome.

Look forward to your excuses already.

Re. Crutch, good to see you back. You're due another logic beatdown when I've something better than mobile BSN to deliver it, rest assured.

This is why I always lurk on BSN, a thread about a AI on a ship has become a duel about who made a weapon.

Keep up the good work!!  :D

I would gladly greet you in the true thunderdome (not an imitation of it), but be warned my bungy fighting skills have been described as satisfactory, adequate, tolerable and unexceptional.

Yall need to bring the heat on QMR and Quarians while shes gone.  We need some grade A entertainment around here and that is exactly how to get it.

It's amusing to be back. I've forgotten how cute you space gypsies are when you're delirious from medication. Tell me again about induction ports.

To answer the OP, the AI I would choose would be someone that represents exploration in Mass Effect: an AI version of Jon Grissom... in all but personality since he becomes quite the curmudgeon and hermit in the later years of his life. His personality would be replaced with a very upbeat, adventurous attitude and would assume the form of a hologram similar to the shepard VI and avina instead of whatever EDI was in ME2

We should take the "America, F*** Yeah" song from Team America and change the lyrics. Change "America" to "Humanity" and throw Earth (instead of just American) and Mass Effect references in it.

If the most recent leak is to be believed (and there is good reason to believe it), we have an AI synthetic squadmate.

What if we (the protagonist) were a highly advanced synthetic. We (the player) know this but the character does not. I'm sure QMR would love this.

Or, the protagonist could be a highly advanced synthetic who doesn't realize he is a synthetic and actually has cultivated a profound hatred for synthetics.

Then, halfway through the story, he has the grand realization that he is synthetic and in fact has become everything he hates.

Like that skit from the Chapelle show about the blind African American "white" supremacist lol.

Yes! That makes it even better, lol.

 

And I love that skit. I miss Chappelle.
