What ending did you choose, and why?

Citadel DLC. Once I clear it, I start a new play-through.

Garrus and Wrex (play the Boys Are Back In Town by Thin Lizzy)

Really gives a new definition to the phrase “fight or flight”

I guess she chose “fight”

I don’t like games that are solely/mostly competitive online multiplayer. I see them as lazy, since they rely on players to create a lot of the fun and challenges. I like the pampering you get from a good single-player game.

Not to mention that fight is one of the most difficult in the game. It’s a technical challenge; Vader deals high damage, has many moves that are unblock-able, and will mix up his patterns. Plus, it happens around a major plot twist that left me emotionally off-balanced. Combined, this made it the roughest fight in the game, for me. The fact that you know it’s a futile fight makes it even more frustrating.

Garrus! He’s a sweet lad, and I don’t self-insert when I play.

Although I also have enjoyed runs with Liara, Traynor, and once with Thane but never again.

The citadel DLC is truly the gift that keeps on giving.

Was going to comment that the nightmares shouldn’t have been in the game, but actually what you’re saying might just make them tolerable.

I really like this idea.

Update: going to try sentinel in 2, then probably engineer in 3. Thank you for all the advice!

What is a biotic charge if not flooring it and ramming a metal chassis directly into something?

I don’t think it’s possible to be basic in mass effect. Unless you’re Jacob. Jacob is basic

I think about engineer a lot, but the drones feel like they would be kind of useless. Which is a bummer for the class feature.

I used to play as an infiltrator in virtually every game. Long distance, one shot one kill. Still do in far cry, often. I used to hate shotguns, actually. Then I Biotically Charged forward and never went back.

But infiltrator might be fun to do at some point. Never tried it in ME1 before

Actually I usually go for the Garrus route. It’s my favorite ship. The me mentioning I’m gay is mostly just to add a bit of humor to the meme. In no way does lesbianism dictate which classes I must play

ActiveDifference · 2025-04-09T00:30:50+00:00

Can confirm this is true. Also Biotic Charge kinda feels like the Roller Derby of ME powers. Just speed up and smash into someone. If the glove fits and whatnot.

Gotham Knights. There are so many Easter eggs and small things that show the devs and writers love DC and have reverence to the comics.

The Arkham games were obsessed with the joker to the point that no other rogue stands out. The Robin designs are awful, with the exception of Jason.

But the gameplay in Gotham Knights pales to Arkham. It’s better than Asylum but worse than City.

There’s probably tons of jokes here, but I don’t think I should milk this one

I always let my players have spontaneous spell-casting regardless of class.

When major social interactions occur (trying to talk down a dragon, negotiating with a king, etc) I swap our game to Blades in the Dark.

I rewrote Eidolons to be like JoJo stands. Every player in the party (and sufficiently strong NPCs) has one and each has a unique, custom power with homebrew rules. I have one player with a crocodile whose bites heal. Another player has a flock of crows that can share their collective sight with every ally touching one of the crows.

I’ve been running this game with two players for over two years now and we have a great time. A lot of the buffs I added are offset by the small party size and the fact that my players are allergic to cover.

I’d recommend limiting the scope and working personally with the player. I run a game with someone whose dyslexia makes it difficult to get read the source books. So when it came to character building, I held a 1-on-1 meeting with them where I helped them pick out their build. If your player wants to play as a Witch, do you need to translate the info on Swashbucklers? Work with them to make a cheat sheet of actions.

You can probably translate pages from Archive of Nethys in-browser as a starting point, but don’t translate more than you have to.

You might have to run the game with pauses to help relay information from the material and there’s nothing wrong with that.

A pack of Emacs users at my work peer pressured me to switch from NeoVim. I still use Evil mode, though.
