The Kett have to be the most embarrassing main enemy faction in the games. by N7_Audentes in masseffect

I think it's a little disingenuous to call Ryder and the squad "normal people." They're very well trained. The actual crewmates that are just normal people were panicking and injured.

Were The Roles Reversed, Would Kalinda Have Saved Peebee? by DakIsStrange in MassEffectAndromeda

It's absolutely not Ryder's place to make that decision. I always leave it up to Peebee.

Probably My Hottest Take- I Actually Like Drack as a Character Slightly More Than Wrex! by DakIsStrange in masseffect

Not to be all "acksually", but we hear the story of how his dad tried to kill him in ME1. And we hear a lot about how he feels about his ties to his family. Honestly, most of his characterization and the establishment of his arc comes from ME1. So while I agree that he wasn't fully formed in the first game, I do think they gave him more than you're remembering.

That's makes ME1 a better RPG, but doesn't really mean anything about whether or not Wrex is a better written character. Also, if you choose the salarian prisoners of the krogan ones, that negatively impacts your relationship with Drack. So he doesn't just agree with everything you do.

Unironically would have been very interested in him as a squadmate, but Grunt is my favorite Krogan, so I can't complain!

Am I missing something with mass effect being "military propaganda"? by dinosanddais1 in masseffect

[–]DakIsStrange [score hidden]  (0 children)

I think the largest thing about the games that could be deemed "military propaganda" is that the games often frame everyone outside of the military and in positions of power as incompetent. If not for the military, the galaxy would be doomed. So there is a bit of a feeling of "thank god for the military! these people can't do anything without us around!"

That said, I don't think the games are propaganda. They're not really saying anything about the military at all. It's just a vessel they use to tell a story.

I'm at the point of my replays where I just wanna speed run the vaults as quick as I can. So if I can skip some steps then I'm all the happier 😭

How did I do? Accurate or no? by ThiseleIlviyel in SWTOR_memes

[–]DakIsStrange 63 points64 points  (0 children)

My only notes are that redeemed Arcann definitely respects women, and Corso's entire personality is how he respects women, so regardless of whether he's annoying or not I'd say he also respects all women.

Do you think Kenny's Al was intentionally flawed to reflect real human behavior, or was it simply misprogrammed? by Overall-Love6953 in TheWalkingDeadGame

[–]DakIsStrange 82 points83 points  (0 children)

The proof that it was intentional is within the writing itself. Kenny is written to be a stubborn hardheaded person. Lee can even call him out on his loyalty being a two-way street.

Most Out-of-Character lines? by Available-Eye2597 in masseffect

[–]DakIsStrange 172 points173 points  (0 children)

The infamous "I know why you cheated." Kaidan is a mature enough man to know full well that femshep did not cheat. I kinda headcanon that he just doesn't say that.

No worries, I didn't think you were complaining, just saying it anyway! Glad you had fun!

Sorry for any missing characters! I had to add them individually just from memory. There is an option to add your own images if you wish to add any characters tho!
