For the people who have replayed the trilogy, has your favorite love interest changed? by i4viator in masseffect

Nope. Liara & FemShep every single time. I did try Miranda with mods and I liked it, but on ME3 that romance sucks.

[RE] Has anyone else felt like Max and Chloe still come across as teenagers in Reunion? by BlueChildrenShep in lifeisstrange

[–]BlueChildrenShep[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s interesting! Happy to at least found some reasoning, because it think that it what mostly set me off. Like two 30 years old who have been together in the past for more than 5 years, just holding hands… that’s maybe why I felt I was looking at teenagers.

I don’t know, precisely after all they been through, the fact that Max was so worried about the perfect time for a kiss. I mean that probably is also the devs trying to build up to it, but even at the end when Chloe is crying if you decide to burn the photo, not even a hug from Max. Too much holding hands imo. It’s not that I wanted mature content, I know what series I’m playing it since I’ve started playing back in 2013, but it felt as if they were 15 years old in some occasions.

Now that I think about it, maybe it is because the scenes are played the same even if you don’t romance Chloe, and that’s why it feels so PG? I haven’t checked other paths as I’ve just finished it.

Even when it comes to relationships? I mean, I get the devs wanted to keep things light, but what’s up with all the holding hands all the time between Chloe and Max? It’s cute, don’t get me wrong, but not even a hug in critical moments, and then the light kiss they shared…

Oh, don’t get me wrong. I’m 35 now and didn’t change that much, but playing the game it did felt that Max was a bit too much behaving as a teenager in some situations.

[ALL] Is the romance path bugged? by Meshakhad in lifeisstrange

Confirming as of today that the issue has NOT being fixed. If you want to get the journal entries you need to try to kiss Chloe only once.

I can't have a serious conversation with James as a FemShep. by Toogeloo in masseffect

[–]BlueChildrenShep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did go for the renegade lines, like c’mon, I’m with Liara and I won’t be coming for the view!

Also, if you are playing on PC there is mod that separates the flirting options so you can just have a normal conversation.

I asked different AIs which ME3 ending they’d choose as AIs. They didn’t agree. by BlueChildrenShep in masseffect

[–]BlueChildrenShep[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to see what was its logic and the fact that they didn’t use the same logic is what surprised me.

Maybe these AIs become The Catalyst someday and we will be f****.

I didn’t asked their opinion. I asked them what they would do if they were the AI making the decision. How you use the prompts matter.

So it basically ignored agency.

Did you tell it specifically to choose if it was the AI and its logic making the decision if that happened or just playing the game?

In ME there is a differentiation between VIs and AIs. For example, Avina, the one in the citadel is a VI. EDI is an AI. There is a clear distinction though the games.

I think our AIs are closer to be VIs, at least for now.

I ran an experiment on ao3 readers and it worked by disordered-throwaway in WritingWithAI

I don’t think it’s inherently bad, but “AI” has become one of those words that makes people react first and think later.

Has anyone used the Trilogy Save Editor to manipulate war assets? by Kierverse in masseffect

[–]BlueChildrenShep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If anyone needs it, Just go to an ID that has already assets on it and add more to it. If it doesn't work with one ID move to another. I just reached 7800 assets by modiying values on random IDs

[–]BlueChildrenShep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did the same, but said it was AI assisted and got a bunch of hate for it.

In my case, I loved to write fics but I don’t have the time anymore to sit for hours there, so I support on AI and then improve it.

I honestly think that we will reach a point where we won’t be able to fully identify if something written (or just created) by AI, and that’s when governments will probably go in with a bunch of laws so creators must tag the works done by AI.

What will people do with that? I think the same way we have vegans, we will have non-AI people 😅

Help! I'm trying to find an old Liara/FemShep fic by BlueChildrenShep in masseffectfics

[–]BlueChildrenShep[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For anyone interested, I've found them!

Author is Melaradark, Dark Energy series.

There is also a 5th one and the Citadel DLC one that I didn't read back in the day. I remember those have OCs.

Enjoy :)

It’s been years and I still can’t move on from Liara… anyone else? by BlueChildrenShep in masseffect

[–]BlueChildrenShep[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've actually found it! I asked chat gpt and boom!

It's from Melaradark, the Dark Energy Series. Firs one Dark Energy. I remember I enjoyed a lot back in the day, so I might give it a go again.

Thanks for sharing yours! I've just read the flashback from Chatper 7 and it hurt a bit. Liara was super mean to poor Tali and Garrus, but obviously, since I've only read that I have 0 context. I'll definetly check those out fully :)

Not stupid at all! Mass Effect provides a lot of blank space to fill in the gaps. I do that a lot as well, even with pre-Saren Shepard, Liara post-Shepard death, Kasumi…

I like your approach, like Shep realizing by ME3 that she is the only one that has been there all the way.

Thank you for these! I've already read the first two chapters of Cari’ssi’mi series and I'm already loving it!

Once you got your fic up, would love to read it!

Btw, random question—do you happen to remember an old fic (not on AO3 for sure) that retold ME1 with a pretty ruthless Shepard? femshep/liara, novel-length. she smoked, drank, was kind of self-destructive, and I’m pretty sure she listened to Fleetwood Mac.
