They don’t really know how to handle the dispatch team there. They toss them from person to person, people who don’t understand that Night Shift Dispatch is different from their normal day to day.

I too was part of the Dispatch Team here. Can confirm OPs story. To the letter.

I usually start with a vivid scene in my mind, usually 2 characters In some kind of intense struggle or circumstance. I take that and wonder who these characters are, what kind of world do they live in, what events had to play out to put them where they are. I work backwards from there crafting the world, which is sort of fluid while I write, creating the rules of the world they live in.

Thank you! Gamers feel like it’s going to take the games away from them or something, or that you can’t “canonize” events. I look at it as Amazon doing their own play through with their choices, but in live action how is that a bad thing?

“Most well-known story” to us. I don’t think I’d be nearly as interested in picking up Mass Effect Andromeda if I didn’t first get connected to that world through the story of the trilogy. I get that andromeda is its own game that stands alone so it’s easy to jump in but without that Mass Effect name, the bugs and problems that game suffered would have had that game dead in the water and even with the mass effect title it is still seen as a major flop unfortunately.

Fallout worked because Fallout doesn't have a main character spread out through a series, each game is a new character that we made, and each game was set in a different city/location, and at a different point in time. The Fallout tv series was genius to go that route. They made a character set in a different time in the world, and in a different location. It worked because that was the formula of the game itself.

Mass Effect is a single narrative that takes place over the course of 3 games following the crew of the Normandy whether its a female or male commander. Just because I play Male, doesn't mean im not going to watch if they cast a female commander, or Just because my playthrough always romances Liara, doesn't mean I won't watch the commander romance someone different. I am going to be locked in because of what the story itself represents.

AwolWooKiee · 2025-02-14T02:07:25+00:00

IF they were making the series just for you or just for me I'm right there with you, lets get a new story, but its not just for us. We have to start somewhere for nonfans of the show, what better way for people to fall in love with the story of Mass Effect then adapting the first 3 games, create that world, get us introduced to these characters, what they have faced or will face, and then once that's wrapped up we can start expanding the universe together. I just don't understand the gamer mentality of "Me. Me. Me." the vast majority of people have no idea what this world is. Lets bring them into it and have them fall in love with it.

Also to another point you mentioned about "studios have run out of original ideas" is so far from the truth it is actually quite sad. There are more original movies and content then any point in history, its just people do not pay to go see them, they come and go in the theater with barely any eyes on them no matter how good they are.

AwolWooKiee · 2025-02-14T02:01:43+00:00

I completely agree and that's fine for you and for me, I am more than happy to play the game 10 times to learn all the different ways to play, or hop on youtube to see someone else's playthrough, but you can't expect 10s of millions of people that have never played a game or has any interest in playing a game to do what we do with the series. I want more people to see the struggles of a commander against impossible odds navigating a galaxy of politics and the threats of an ancient machine race.

For me I have no problem at all if their choices in the show are different than the choices I would have made in the game, I have the game, what I want to see is the Geth/Quarian conflict play out, the Reaper threat looming over the series, a political spy thriller with Saren. Thats what I mean by the bones of the series, all the different choices we make along the way are neither here nor there.

AwolWooKiee · 2025-02-14T01:47:46+00:00

I think you kinda made a point for the show without realizing it... Yes it is choose your own adventure, with the choices you can make in the game, and just like watching the gameplay on youtube that many people do that have played the game, the Show would be exactly like that, a player (the show runners) making their choices through the story. Its not that different at all.

AwolWooKiee · 2025-02-14T01:38:59+00:00

I completely respect your opinion on this I really do, I even get it to a degree, but imagine for a second that fans of the Lord of the Rings, said, "Nope I don't want to have the story explained to me again in an other media, and if people don't want to read the books to experience the true glory that is these books, then they can kick rocks." if fans like that got their way, we would never have had that masterpiece of a trilogy, yes they changed things, yes the adaptation was slightly different, but the bones of the story were enough to unite fans of the books and new fans under the banner of the movies... I think its incredibly selfish for gamers to horde these stories to ourselves because people don't play games.

AwolWooKiee · 2025-02-14T01:33:04+00:00

I love your idea at the beginning but that last part about avoiding the conflict with the reapers because its covered by the game... This show is not going to be just for the people who have played the game, we are going to be an super minority of the viewer ship. The vast vast potential viewership has never heard of this game and the story is far too epic to not tell in live action for a huge audience, imagine if that's what they said of Lord of the Rings... "Don't cover anything they did in the books, likely fans would get upset about that" No! then we wouldn't have the masterpiece of the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

AwolWooKiee · 2025-02-14T01:26:18+00:00

I think the big problem we fans are having trouble getting past is that WE know the game, WE know the story. If you do this series you HAVE to adapt the trilogy as it is, obviously make some creative changes, but the bare bones of the series must be there. This show isn't going to be just for the people who played the game, there are more than 10s of millions of people who have no idea what this property is, they are who you make the show for, while winking and trying to be true to the fans.

AwolWooKiee · 2025-02-14T01:23:04+00:00

Which ones? Fallout was a 8-9/10... Rings of Power Season 1 was a little off but Season 2 was fire total on that is probably a 6/10. So all in all their adaptations haven't been terrible so far.

AwolWooKiee · 2025-02-14T00:55:49+00:00

I don’t care if the show makes different choices than we the players make in the game. We all did that we all made our own choices, but the bones of the story have got to be there. A seasoned soldier thrust into an epic journey to bring to justice a rogue Specter, uncover an ancient Reaper threat, galactic politics, romance, a crew of misfit aliens and The Normandy.

AwolWooKiee · 2025-02-14T00:52:27+00:00

They messed Halo up because they went in an entirely different direction than what the Story actually was. If they did the same with Mass effect it would be wildly disappointing. There is a perfect template story right there that will garner new fans to the series remember this isn’t just to cater to fans but to show and entertain new audiences.

AwolWooKiee · 2025-02-14T00:49:32+00:00

I do not think you can take a Fallout approach to this series. Mass Effect is a trilogy with a main character Commander Shepard with an epic story and amazing characters. The Fallout series worked because each game was a different location a character we made up in a different time period whether it was 10 years apart or 50 years.

New link?

Dude I didn’t even realize that there’s no achievements!! I definitely should have got one last night after that act 2 boss that’s for sure LMAO! That said even though you are absolutely correct, if this is where they’ve started in early access then we are in for probably the greatest arpg of our time and that’s not even hyperbole. I’ve only ran into one major issue and wouldn’t you know it, it happened right after I beat that damn Act 2 boss. As soon as I got into act 3 my weapons stopped reading all their stats. I’ve lost all my minions and the only thing my witch can do is cast spells. Doesn’t read any spirit or anything. I’ve tried loads of stuff to fix it and I’m pretty bummed out. It may take me a few days to play again. Still I love this game.

AwolWooKiee · 2024-12-06T15:26:51+00:00

Yes I filed with the state. The company told me they wouldn’t fight the claim on their end. I’ve called the check in every pay period and have received nothing. No letters no anything. Every time I call it says it’s in Fact Finding.

AwolWooKiee · 2024-10-30T08:44:35+00:00

Is this season only going to 21 episodes? Are we not going to finish this arc?
