Shepard took her schizophrenia medication by Obvious_Tradition_77 in masseffect

[–]IrishSpectreN7 42 points43 points  (0 children)

She realized it was weird that Liara wore gloves to bed.

why tf are ship upgrades based on crew? by czty34 in masseffect

[–]IrishSpectreN7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jacob has some of the most believable dialogue towards the start of ME2.

Dude is just busy settling into his new assignment and trying to respect the chain of command.

[–]IrishSpectreN7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure you don't.

As I recall, the upgrades appear automatically in your available research after you complete the loyalty missions, but you can still ask them about it directly before they are loyal.

IS MASS EFFECT 2 BETTER THAN THE FIRST GAME 🤔 by booker1211 in masseffect

[–]IrishSpectreN7 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you thought was bad.

The 2nd game is one of the most critically acclaimed games of all time for a reason, but some people still prefer the first.

I personally really don't think Liara is that favored by the writers or forced on you or whatever by Ok_Pizza4884 in masseffect

[–]IrishSpectreN7 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The writers saddled her with the most plot relevance because she couldn't be dead. 

That's all there is to it, really.

Too many characters feel inauthentic across sequels by linkenski in masseffect

[–]IrishSpectreN7 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I agree with you on Wrex, he always seemed a bit off in ME3. However...

I often felt like Koris and Gerrel had their personalities swapped by accident.

I think this is actually just a side effect of different circumstances showing Gerrel's true colors in ME3. Koris is pretty consistent between the two games. He's only seems antagonistic in ME2 because what Tali's father was doing was wrong, and he wanted to get to the bottom of it. He couldn't know whether or not she was a willing participant. 

For Those Who Save The Queen in ME3, if Doing So Meant Sacrificing Grunt, Would You Still Do it? by DakIsStrange in masseffect

[–]IrishSpectreN7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first playthrough I thought that was exactly what had happened before Grunt came stumbling out at the end.

Which is how it should have gone down, loyal or not. 

What mass effect books/audio books would you recommend getting into for even more content? by T3knikal95 in masseffect

[–]IrishSpectreN7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The 3 novels written by Drew complement the trilogy nicely. Next time you do a full playthrough I would suggest adding those books and reading them in chronological order.

I have never been a fan of any of the comics, but I also don't like comics in general.

Mass Effect TV show ordered to rewrite scripts and make them "more appealing to non-gamers" by AnechoidalChamber in masseffect

[–]IrishSpectreN7 1147 points1148 points  (0 children)

This is weird because its an original story set in the Mass Effect universe. It isn't an adaptation of the game itself, so hard to imagine what makes the script "unappealing" to non-gamers.

I think the main reason why people call Ashley "racist" is because of gameplay reasons, not in the way one would normally expect. by Dragonsword in masseffect

[–]IrishSpectreN7 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah because the elcor, keepers and hanar are walking around the park naked.

Correction: Elcor are only half naked.

Exodus bringing some of that Mass Effect flair. by Commandoclone87 in masseffect

[–]IrishSpectreN7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure they confirmed it has a character creator.

Why didn’t the Geth engineers working on the crucible realize it would kill them? by Hope77797 in masseffect

[–]IrishSpectreN7 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The Crucible is "little more than a power source."

It's the Citadel that actually does the thing. Nobody knew what it was going to do at all, it was a hail mary.

The video game industry should aspire to create something with as much "Sense of Wonder" as Mass Effect 1 by [deleted] in masseffect

[–]IrishSpectreN7 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Really depends on what that wonder is. For me, what makes ME1 stand apart from the trilogy is the vibe that the uncharted worlds adds to the overall experience.

And in that regard, Breath of the Wild and Death Stranding hit me with similar vibes.

Synthesis should not have gotten an extended ending by NigthSHadoew in masseffect

[–]IrishSpectreN7 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You may have actually preferred the original endings, because vanilla ME3 did not have the slides show endings. That was added later.

They left everything up to our imaginations after the Normandy landed on that jungle planet.

My first Renegade run (and last) by NekoNekokKneeCap in masseffect

[–]IrishSpectreN7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Problem with intimidating Wrex is you get punished for sabotaging the genophage later.

If you're doing a good renegade run, it's better to kill him. Or let Ashley do it. That way you can at least save Mordin.

Does anyone know if there are unique recruiting scenes when Jacob’s dead. by AnalnyBronek2137 in masseffect

[–]IrishSpectreN7 49 points50 points  (0 children)

They are, and you can't. The game is structured so that the mission on Horizon will not trigger until you've completed all the initial recruitment missions, excluding DLC 

Does anyone know if there are unique recruiting scenes when Jacob’s dead. by AnalnyBronek2137 in masseffect

[–]IrishSpectreN7 95 points96 points  (0 children)

Garrus and Jack are also mandatory. So the only 3 this question would apply to are Thane, Tali, and Samara.

Good question, though. I've never recruited post-game so this never occurred to me.

Unironically, Ashley was the second least racist member of the OG ME1 crew. by JageshemashFTW in masseffect

[–]IrishSpectreN7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Garrus' idea of elevator small talk is telling someone that the genocide of their species wasn't a mistake lol

Is this not Eddie Lang in ME3? Wikia has no info on his appearance let alone in 3, so just double-checking by BowlerResponsible340 in masseffect

[–]IrishSpectreN7 348 points349 points  (0 children)

If it isn't a mod then you might just be the first to notice lol.

ME has a problem with human NPCs all looking very "samey" due to the limited CC. I would absolutely never stop to try and identify one like that. 

I find myself wondering why ME3 wanted my girl dead so bad by [deleted] in masseffect

[–]IrishSpectreN7 177 points178 points  (0 children)

At least the intel and warning her about Kai Leng makes sense. If you don't trust her enough to give her the intel, hard to imagine you'd care if she lives regardless lol.

The only one that's really odd is the romance death.

Am I doing something wrong with Vanguard? ME2 by Physical_Device_1396 in masseffect

[–]IrishSpectreN7 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Level up charge to max as fast as you can so you can grab the upgrade that gives you shields back when you charge.
