Grunt: Shepard really nailed the Krogan fertily dance.
Garrus: (half choking on his meal) The WHAT?
Grunt: Oh yeah, fertility dance. I didn't realise he and Williams where trying.
Garrus: You mean... that horrifying war crime of a dance he does...
Grunt: Well, he's not quite jerky enough with it, but I imagine squishy races find it hard enough as is.


"war crime of a dance" :D

Maybe they'll motion capture this for the next installment:

"It's more like a full body dry-heave set to music."


The dry heave comment made me smile. :D

Mordin: Do you think I speak fast?

Thane: We all speak in our own way.

Mordin: Yes, yes, but do I - people have made comment with regards to me needing to get to the point or be quiet, and I don't see what it is that...

Thane: Ok...maybe alittle.

Williams: So... you knew?!

Garrus: You were surprisingly loud. Are all humans like that? No, wait, I don't want to know.

Williams: Did..the whole crew know?

Garrus: I presume their weren't deaf, so yes.

Williams: (pause) Wait, are you jerking me around?

Garrus: Who, me? Never.

Williams: I have a shotgun.

Garrus: Why do all the women say that to me these days?

Garrus: Tali, do you ever wonder what the Volus look like without their pressure suits?
Tali: No, not really.
Garrus: You're not dying to find out? They could be hiding anything under there...
Tali: I fail to see how anyone could be that interested in what an alien species looks like naked. Even if we did find out, we'd probably just be disappointed.


This, please do it Bioware, wtb squad banter back. Love this thread.

Why does everyone think "WE" hated elevator rides? Some of us liked them quite a bit and felt they gave the characters an oppertunity to develop depth and also allowed for a sense of meaningful travel over large distances. Depth is not tedium.

And aside from all that, all they did was replace the elevator with loading screens.  What is more tedious than a 60 second loading screen (360 not PC cause PC loading screens are dependant on the system used).

They should have changed used the loading screens to create psuedo elevator rides where characters had a chance to get in some dialogue or you at least get to watch a transition that makes sense to the god damn game yer playing............  but I digress.

Same Here ^ for once it seems, the only elevator I actually hated was the one on the Normandy.

Nothing wrong with the elevators per se. Just the fact that their travel time was STATIC instead of being based on the actual loading time. If you have a fast computer, you should have fast elevators; slow computer, slow elevators. If the banter comes back, the elevator lasts long enough for the banter to run its course.



Elevator loading was a good mechanic in need of simple refinement, not removal. Which can be said about A LOT of things going into ME2.

Fair enough.

Though I think the banter needs to return, and it needs to be outside of the evelators instead even if the evelators return. Because, most of people probably ended up using the fast travel system on the citadel after alittle which, so missed out on potiental banter.

Some more from me:

Garrus:  So Thane, you're going to have to teach me that trick.  You know, the one where you drop down from the ceiling and snap a guy's neck before he has time to react.
Thane:  I'm afraid that skill cannot be taught.  It is something that one possesses, not something that one learns.  No my friend, I believe you were born for another purpose.
Garrus:  And that would be?
Thane:  Why, calibrating the forward battery, of couse.


Yeah, this one is for the win:police:

People actually like what I wrote?  That's only going to encourage me to write more ;).

EDI:  Jeff, does this new memory module make my databases look expansive?
Joker:  Um, I'm not sure I should answer that.  Maybe you should ask Legion?
EDI:  Legion, I would like your opinion.
Legion:  We are building a consensus.  Please try again later.

Hehe, nice!

Garrus: So, a Turian, a Salarian, and an Asari walk into a bar...
Jacob: Heard it.
Garrus: What, already? There are dozens of those jokes
Jacob: Yeah. And there all the same.
Garrus: Huh. I guess you don't appreciate the refined humour of the Galaxy.
Jacob: Refined humour? You're kidding?
Garrus: Thats what the Salarian said, but clearly you've heard that before.
Jacob: What? No..?
Garrus: Well, too late now.

Oh no Doug84, look what you've started now:

Garrus: A turian and a human walk into a bar.  The bartender says, "what'll you guys have?"  The human says, "give us two glasses of the 2149 Citadel Merlot."  The turian says, "I can't drink that, it's poison."  The human says, "oh, because you're dextro-amino acid-based and I'm levo-amino acid-based?  The turian says, "no, because 2149 was a terrible year. "

Grunt: A salarian, a turian, and a krogan walk into a bar.  The krogan orders a vodka, pours it on the salarian and the turian, lights them on fire, then laughs as they burn.
Mordin:  Sorry Grunt.  Do not understand punchline.  Maybe you mistold joke?
Grunt:  I don't think so.  It always kills on Tuchanka.

Legion: A geth and a quarian walk into a bar.  The quarian says, "I know our races have had a difficult history, but I'd like to buy you a drink, what'll you have?"  After much consideration, the geth replies, "I'd like a synthehol please, you 01100001 01110011 01110011." 
EDI: Oh Legion, you're such a cutup.
Joker: I don't get it.

An exellent thread!

And yes, I miss the banter. Actually, it is pretty unusual to see Bioware game that has almost none interaction between party members...

*Sigh* Party banter would be a really nice DLC for mass effect 2, would augment the game and kick the replay value up a few leagues... Petition, anyone?

Well, petition would be alright, but I'd prefer something that'd actually work :whistle:  I did message 'Evil' Chris the Lord and Master of the bioware forums with this thread, but he's yet to respond to the thread or the message. WE ARE NOT WORTHY!

Given the interest here, I think that may be a DLC that many ppl would love to get. Event if it added no content story-wise, it would increase the replay value.

Well, I dunno if it'd increase replay value as I've already replayed it a dozen times, but I would probably buy a banter DLC, but it would just make more sense to package up extra banter with other DLC.



But that said, I doubt we'll see it for ME2, so lets just make sure we end up with ME 3 banter.
