Did any of you notice any other cutscenes where squaddies did something else beside the usual random arm-stretching and such?

What do you mean?    Animations specific to a certain character in a specific cutscene?

Animation like Samara leaning on the handrail to admire the waterfall in the background while Shep and Zaeed have their cut scene in the foreground. I haven't tried with other squaddies yet (the... waterfall is too mesmerizing).

By contrast, squaddies just stand there and stare on as Ash/Kaidan reads the riot act to Shepard. It would have been nice if squaddies had been checking bodies for ammo, working on the transmitter/turret control console, etc... It would make them appear more alive, more independent. It's not there's nothing to do in the aftermath of a battle. All it requires is a bit of imagination on the animators' part.

I'm guessing that's the type of details DLC developpers thrive on, while the main designers focus on the making the game work. Main designers work on the forest, while DLC artists work on individual trees.

In tali's loyalty mission they do. The squad member you bring along will sit down in the crowd. Not very exciting though :?

Not exciting, perhaps, but sensible. Squaddies would have looked a bit silly standing out like scarecrows... It these nice little details that make the squaddies seem alive. That, and discussing how many times a day Shepards puts their lives at risk...Image IPB

Samara is breathtaking in the waterfall scene. I think Shepard was thinking aww screw Zaeeds loyalty I want to sit and admire the beautiful view of the....waterfall here :)



Yes there should be more of those scenes where the other squadmember kind of roams around. Another example is Garrus' mission when he leaves to set up the sniper and the other squad member will give you this look. And someone mentioned it but in Tali's mission during the "court" scene the other member will join the crowd (though legion sits far away in the fetal position). Those kind of details are quite appreciated.

Well, during Thane's recruitment mission, if you go to save those Salarians who have locked themselves in that room, when you get the gun pointed at you by one of them, one of your teammates will lean calmly against the wall to Shepard's side.



That kind of stuff, Flamewielder?

I thought that Anderson is unnerved by Shepard if he decides to sacrifice the Concil.  I could never bring myself to kill the attractive Asari Councillor.   I want to be able to airquote at the Turian Councillor in ME3.  The Salarian Councillor seems like a bro.

I think when you talk to Bailey at the Citadel, one character might lean against a wall or something... I can't really remember the specifics right now, but it does come to mind. Then again my brain is pretty fried right now so it might occur somewhere else.

haha I just got a silly idea about a possible "idle" animation for Samara. Picture her doing this, but suspended in mid-air ;D

come to think of it, she actually does look like she's floating there :S

This actually counts as a semi-reference of Mass Effect thanks to Green.

Or the NPC interupts the conversation and gets into an argument with the other NPC.  That would be a nice change of pace too I would think.

Yes... that's Samara's infamous "perma-wedgie"... With any luck we'll be treated to a totally new Justicar armor in ME3! Image IPB

Yep, and from everyone's comments, I'm getting the impression there are more than I first noticed. I hope we'll see more of it in ME3.

next time around when you play, look closely at everyone's feet and the ground. It seems as if everyone is just floating a couple of cm off the ground.

Kinda not loving this look on Samara. Too much skin. Cleavage is one thing, the butt floss isn't my favorite look. ;)

That's it!    Give Samara some classic ME1 armor.   The Colossus armor, pictured, looks great on her.

It's been kind of slow.   Mostly, it's been kelmar showing off his cool mods to Samara's armor.

Buttfloss?  Ha ha ha....
Yeah it just doesn't look right.  Especially that other pic from behind.  That other pic of her and Shep makes them look two tag team WWF wrestlers.:D
