Mass Effect Trilogy General Discussion

Just saved Eve, and I still laugh that Victus and Wrex both say they have missions to give me in private (cause they weren't alone with me) so we go to the war room where they are still in ear shot of each other and even more people to listen in. Privacy achieved!

I love proximity mine!  I wonder if it's a combat power or a tech power?  It'd be nice if it got the damage bonus from the engineer passives.  I know lash doesn't.  

Either way, I'll probably give it a shot. I like to change bonus powers occasionally just to keep the combat a bit more fresh!  

Wait for 5:38 minute



I'm crying   thank you Cathleen Rootsaert, you gave us Kaidan and Jaal (and we know this was not your fault) 

I don't have a problem with that pairing really, but I am against squaddies and companions hooking up in general cause it cuts into the word budget which already so very slim. If the games were made with unlimited resources and word budgets I would be fine with some of them like that one for example.

First time discovering this thread, so sorry in advance for all the old quotage!



This is slightly different from what you're saying, but this reminds me of what I really love about Citadel's story, in that it highlights what makes this series special, and that's the relationship your character has with his/her squadmates. We see in the Clone someone who has none of these, who's basically used as a weapon and has thus only sees people as potential tools, and this is instrumental to his/her downfall more so than Shepard themselves. It isn't just Shepard that makes all this possible, it's these unique people who they've convinced through their resolve to follow to hell and back.



I get what you mean. What ones have you watched? The one I've seen that I absolutely love is from the creator Raycevik, who is not only very through, well spoken and well researched, but also is candid about what is good and what is bad about each game in the series. I'm curious/interested to see what he'll say with regards to Andromeda.





I'll be honest, I've found it super hard to consider romancing her. I just remember when I first played it and my initial reaction to her being sort of the "kid sister" of the group, it's hard for me to consider her as a romantic character for my Shepard.

I am going to do that run-through one of these days, though, sometime after I finish this playthrough I'm on now.



Same here -- in order to do this replay of the trilogy, I've had to basically trade my PS4 with my dad so that he can play Fallout 4 again, which is fine, but slightly annoying if I want to, say, go through the new HZD expansion, or play a little Overwatch. Makes it a little easier to focus on ME, though!



I agree with all of those -- it's part of why, controversial as it might seem, I feel like Andromeda is in many ways "ME1 done right."



Agreed -- I love stuff like other companions hooking up because it helps further the characterization of the characters and makes them feel more alive. Like, why is my main character the only one hooking up with someone? With all the life and death situations they're in, and, frankly, as fit and hot as they all are, you would think there's a bit more co-mingling than what we usually see!

Bringing Liara along for this mission is a must, Benezia's last words to her always make me tear up.

Part of me has always wanted to try getting Liara last to see her reaction to Shep in game rather than just on YouTube, but I can never bring myself to leave her trapped for so long and I couldn't bare to prevent Liara from speaking to her mother before she dies.
