Just went back and played ME1 a bit, and I realized how much the changing camera angles and having characters walk around helped the immersion. Good work on that little thing BioWare

- Trying to romance Samara, actually made me cry a little at the pain in her voice.

- Mordin singing... again tears... but this time from laughter.

-The email from your mom... the moment I got it I had such a pang of guilt that I went and called my aunt..

- Mordins Loyalty mission. That was so full of those small moments.

- Hugging Tali when she breaks down after seeing her fathers body.

That's so true, the new animations and camera changes in dialogue give it a totally effortless cinematic feel... effortless in the sense that you don't even notice what it is that's keeping you so hooked/immersed/engaged in these scenes unless you actively focus on the issue; it just feels natural, exciting and cinematic.

I also second the Samara romance attempt - another thing I haven't done in person yet but watched on video, and that scene is just breathtakingly, tear-jerkingly well done.
Literally took my breath away watching it, certainly the most tragic and beautiful almost-love scene in a videogame ever, I believe.

And yes to the other points, too, particularly Mordin's performance... Apropos Legion's robot dance that has been mentioned, another pricelessly funny moment is the part where an annoyed Joker imitates Legion's robot-y movements in a mocking fashion, and pulls silly faces with his back to Legion so he can't see

I like the fact that people actually smiled in ME2. Everyone in ME1, minus one or two select scenes, were one of the following: emotionless, angry, or extremely angry.



The more smiles the better! MORE I SAY.

Especially the Salarians, Salarians are so adorable when they smile, it's beyond words...

Haha!  Too true.  Mordin smiling made me laugh my ass off.   Simply adorable!  Couldn't help but to smile back upon seeing it.

I totally forgot to mention the little spaceship models you can purchase and line up in your cabin - such a cute idea!

Also, the "titillating" magazine you can buy from a merchant on Omega - "Fornax", priding itself as "the galaxy's finest xenophilia".

I don't even know what that thing on the cover is supposed to be, a Hanar?

And "specialty editions such as Genit-Elcor and Krogasm servicing devoted but smaller markets"?

... and sorry for the double post, but also: Drinking with Dr. Chakwas.

"Here's to simply being happily drunk!"

Btw, did anyone else get the feeling that there was definitely a vibe of intense affection and attachment coming from her towards MaleShep the whole game, but particularly in this scene?
"Or hell, maybe it's you! Shepard, our immovable center. A place for a person to stop and catch her breath..." - she says that in such a longing, loving tone, it's incredible.

And the happily spaced-out way she smiles when MaleShep agrees to sit down and drink with her - I think I could see the sparks flying right there
I'd be all for a Dr. Chakwas romance, seeing as she's been one of my favourite characters from the start...

[Taimae]

-The Krogan reciting poetry to the Asari. There was just something so loving and cheesy there.

-The Krogan fish conversation. And the fact that he was so heartbroken when he found out there were no fish in the Presidum made me laugh, yet feel bad for him.

-Reminicing on the good old days with Dr. Chakwas. Was great to see a familiar face on the Normandy.

-The bartender on Illium. She was just awesome.

-The advertisements on the Citadel...



There are just too many!

-

[korraz]

"Tell me about your immune system, again!" "I have a shotgun."

[aeetos21]

EDI: "News of your successful passage of the rite and defeat of the thresher maw has produced many breeding requests for Grunt and one for Shepard."



Grunt: "Hah!"

[Remaix]

Elkor. Smoking. Cigar.



Made my day.

[Kajan451]

- I love the bartender on Illum. After talking to her i wanted to offer her a job on the Normandy as my Advisor.

- The drinking with Chakwas... was great.

- Tossing the Merc out of the window

- Shooting Verner into his foot and his reaction

- All the conversations with Legion, i really warmed to him

- All the Banter between EDI and Joker

- EDI saying: I like humans on their knees.

Totally seconded.

Also, a few more:

- The garbage compactor, with the airlock where you can actually watch you waste being sucked out into space... makes for great recreational activity between missions ^^

- Generally the room that Zaeed is in, with all of his personal objects and battle memorabilia that you can investigate and then he'll tell you a story about them

- Mess Sergeant Gardner, when you ask him about being plumber, electrician and cook rolled in one - "So, the man who cleans out the toilets also prepares the meals?" - "Hey, I wash my hands - most of the time.." (scratches his shoulder nervously)

- Just Mess Sergeant Gardner, period. "I catch what falls through the cracks - Heh... through the cracks!"

- The Kaiden Alenko scholarship for promising Biotics (if Kaiden died on Virmire)

- Mordins excuses when he doesn't want to talk to Shep - "Trying to determine how scale-itch got on Normandy. Sexually transmitted disease only transmitted by Varren, implications... unpleasant."
(I think those implications are even more disturbing than the Genit-Elcor special issue of Fornax!)

- Playing a game of Skyllian five poker with the two engineers on the engineering deck - "Going easy on the rookie, I can't believe we fell for that!"

[lea.l]

It is also endorsing every single individual post you make as its VERY FAVOURITE post on all of the internet.

I agree, kudos to whoever made it, it's very funny ^^

[lea.l]

... and even Batarians look sort of amiable when they smile, just occured to me, that.

[wizardryforever]

If you haven't heard them yet, listen to all of the advertisements for the Tu'Pari sports drink from the vending machine in front of the shipping warehouse on the Citadel. Some of them are absolutely hilarious, "Tu'Pari is made with NO natural sweeteners!" "9 out of 10 Tu'Pari drinkers recommended Tu'Pari to others, the last one is on my list." There's about twenty in all, but it's quite amusing when you hear the last one.

I REALLY appreciate all the new conversation animations. The variety makes the characters seem a lot more alive.

yes! they're all small touches but they really add up. feels so much more like actually talking with someone.

I liked this scene as well.  I also agree with you on the weird sexual tension there.  But, to me, it's completely due to the look on her face when you break off a conversation with her.  It is sort of a vaguely-horrified "Dear God, I won't tell anyone what we did if you won't" expression.


My favorite "little things" in the game were:

1.  Mordin singing
2.  The Video Clip from the All-Elcor Hamlet.
3.  EDI's "humans on their knees" comment - and just EDI & Joker in general.
4.  Seeing Helena Blake as a social worker on Omega (knew I left her alive for a reason)
5.  The message from the Rachni Queen.
6.  The Illium Bartender.  Probably the only NPC in the game that I talked to every time I passed by.

[tykfa1990]

Favorite little things? Most of things you may hear outside of storyline, and some more.



I can't keep the hierarchy of coolness, but I'll try to list the most favourite:

1. Most favourite: roance dialogues with Tali.

2. Illium bar NPC dialogues, all of them, also bartender.

3. Mordin's conversations, including him singing, the itch disease on Normandy, the pre-romance's finale interspecies safety tips XD.

4. Also Legion's "There was a hole" speaking of use of Shepard's old armor part, and then "No data aviable" ( while moving his"eyebrows" this funny way ), made me roll on the floor.

5. Next Legion conversation - when he quoted "Do these units have a soul?". Geth will never seem so mechanic again after hearing this one.

6. OFC Garrus speaking of "Tali's immune system", and Tali answering "I have a shotgun".

7. The speech of human fleet admiral to the cadets about the 20 kilogram iron bullet - "if you miss, someone , somewhere will have a bad day!".

8. The male engineer speaking of Tali and then, Tali: "you know I hear everything?"

[Spell Singer]

The paragon interupt with the Quarian-Volus-C-sec officer. I was grinning ear to ear when that finished.

The email from mom. The emails in general were a wonderful touch. The first spam one I spent a good 10 min trying to figure out what mission this was triggering.

Hugging Tali...I am really pro-quarian just because I think of tali as my kid sister.

Mordin...he was always good for a chuckle.

The engineers...they were priceless. And the announcers on Omega, the batarian one (or so I think anyway) was absolutely a blast.

Parsini (edit: had the wrong name previously)...the kiss was priceless, not to mention her comment about Asari squeeling like school girls when you catch them. "Talk to your lawyer quickly you won't be able to afford him soon."

The email from Dr. Michel...though my female Shepard was not so thrilled to read "...and my friends convinced me to go out with a doctor from the Citadel." from Kaiden.

Seeing Emily on the news vid.

LOL. So true, my friend. They have to encorporate this somehow for the next game. They could do it like they did in Dragon Age, just have freakin' hilarious conversations between your two squaddies pop up from time to time as you're traveling.

My favorite little thing was seeing the couple from the last game who argued about what to do with the baby on the Citadel. It was nice to see them patch it up and follow through with your suggestion.
