Who thought it was a good idea to put a mechanical door on the SR-1 that covered the escape pods and would have kept them from launching if it failed?



This seriously bugged me. It's moronic design at its finest. Escape pods that can easily be blocked and trap everyone on the ship are just a bad freaking idea.

Why are humans the only race with ears

You have to admit that ears aren't all that attractive feature. Elf ears are another story, but using them would be most unadventurous.

Hollow escape pods make a structual weak point for a spaceship. The mechanical door was an armour plate.

We have mass effect guns and we can biologically generate mass effect fields? So why aren't there hand-held biotics amplifiers? Or mass driver guns that just work with the surrounding atmosphere?

Does the name Blackstorm ring any bell to you?

wait a minute...did Shepard REALLY just destroy/eliminate all life upon a collector base...WITH THOUSANDS OF LIVE HUMANS STILL ABOARD?!?!
...Commander Shepard is such a jerk.

What makes you think there was anyone alive left?

ehh...what makes you think everyone was already dead?

That they were about to turn your crew into goo even if you go through the relay right after they abducted them.
No reason to assume that they keep "thousands of live humans" aboard without killing them, when they go right to killing the recently captured ones.

Perhaps, maybe they thought that Shepard would want his crew back and tried to juice them ASAP, we don't know for sure. I just think the massive amount of pods is redundant inless they serve as storage.

We can reasonably assume EDI has ran a life-sign scan before suggesting blowing up the place and found no survivors.

The only little thing that really bugs me is those ugly little hands everybody seems to have in ME universe. Yeah, that's all. Ugly ugly tiny hands. How do they even hold a weapon with those things? How does my Shepard?

Moreso when they put their hands together.  It just looks unnatural.

Sure, but it would have been better to make it completely jettison or otherwise open in a less "simple mechanical failure and everyone dies" type of scenario.

Why Shepard never asks TIM about what happened on Akuze?

Or Admiral Kahoku for that matter?  But yeah, no way in hell my soul survivor would ever, ever work with Cerberus.

No reason it couldn't be a two phase system - hydraulics on a battery backup to open the door, and an explosive-bolt manual override if it jams. The utility being that there's probably a lot of potential situations where you wouldn't want to blow a panel of armor off the Normandy but would want to launch an escape pod.

Armistan Banes?

That's all I am going to say.

Armistan Banes[/b] is a human mentioned only during the Citadel: Doctor Michel assignment, and something of a mystery figure. His name arises when a krogan blackmailer, hoping to extort medical supplies from Dr. Chloe Michel, claims to be acting on his behalf. According to Dr.Michel, she and Banes had previously worked together, though they have not been in contact for many years: as far as she is aware, Banes was assigned to a classified project for the Alliance military. A squad member suggests that Commander Shepard try asking Captain Anderson about him.
If asked, Anderson is surprised at the question: he asks where Shepard heard Banes' name, then decides he does not want to know. According to Anderson, Banes is dead, and has been for some time, though this is not common knowledge. His corpse was found on a ship that had been left adrift in the Sparta system, but beyond that, Anderson cannot tell Shepard more. He points the Commander in the direction of Rear Admiral Kahoku, as one of Kahoku's crews found Banes' body. Shepard can speak to Kahoku regarding Banes (if the assignment UNC: Missing Marines has not been completed), but only discovers that the marines who found his body are now missing.

Joker's illness affects his arms and chest. How is he able to fire that gun? (And who's flying the ship if EDI says she can't do it without Joker?)
(And it's Unchained Melody. Honest mistake... honest.)

Joker's illness only affects his legs. This is made very clear in the first game.

"Ow! Watch the arm!" "I think I broke a rib or all of them." "What was I supposed to do? Break my arm at them?"

Yeah. Just his legs. Right...

And if you mean by clear that he simply mentions that flying doesn't require him to use his legs doesn't mean that flying requires him to exert himself with his arms, either, then yes. Otherwise, no.

To answer your original question, he can fire a gun, but he'll get fractures from the recoil.  Considering the dire situation, Joker fired the gun anyway.  His condition doesn't prevent him from being able to pick up a gun and squeezing the trigger.

Zheed, Aria and a few other people tell you that Omaga is the last stop for every sepient who is on the run ... so I get why Morinth goes there. I'm just wondering why she stayed long enough to get a place, Decorate it with a big as$ statue and and various other knicknacks this is a woman who should be traveling very, very light especially since she had no idea when her MOM was going to come rolling though looking for her.

EDI gives a hint when you arrive in Omega, "the daily death count is too high for me to pinpoint an Ardat-Yakshi's location"...

To differentiate Tali more. Having the other quarians in basically the same suits is excusable.

...An yet the Ardat-Yakshi's method of killing is so singularly unique that Aria need only be told one is on station to direct you to Nef's mother. You'd think after four hundred years Morinth might have learned to disguise her kills ... OK now im just being nit-picky NM

What was the Alliance doing in the two years that colonists were disappearing?

what was the point of building a huge gun that was a pig for energy and couldn't shoot straight? -- i mean other then creating a lovely hold-the-line senario for our amusment.

So how did the pitch meeting about the Cain go down? ---
weapons designer: yeah I want to create a gun that fires with the force of a small yeild tactical nuke
weapons manufactorer: well as long as no one tried to fire it indoors that should not be a problem

So Liara has contacts, hired muscle, threatens people who dont pay her with grusome death, but hacking the terminal down the hall was too much for her?

So the Quarians created the geth as a slave underclass that rebelled and almost eradicated them and now thanks to Tali's father they are actively working to enslave them again---why are we helping these people again?

Because she's a more important character, and so the player can tell her apart from the others. In the first game, she looked exactly like all the other female quarians do in ME2.

Didn't see 2 posts above fffff-
