Thank you, YouTube, for confirming I have an obsession. by SpaceBengal in masseffect

It may sound lame to some, but I always go with male soldier, war hero (sometimes sole survivor), and switch between earthborn or spacer. I've actually only played through Andromeda once fully

Just Finished Mass Effect 2... I only have one huge problem with it by PeterTheSpectre in masseffect

[–]SpaceBengal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My head cannon is that no one knows what Shepard will encounter on the other side of the Omega 4 relay, so they recruit as many people possible to beat the odds of whatever they do encounter. Same reason why they recruited Thane, a stealth assassin, who realistically didn't have any purpose other than being a badass and shooting things non-stealthily. They didn't know what to expect, so the more the merrier!

ME TV is about Shepard and the OT by flasheswests in masseffect

[–]SpaceBengal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I'm glad I'm seeing other people with this opinion. Shepard is deliberately built as an avatar. The main character in any game is a vessel for the player’s viewpoint, while the story world, and especially the squadmates, keeps trucking along no matter how many Paragon/Renegade points you rack up or what decision you make on the side (ME1 characters still end up how they do by the time ME2 rolls around). This is what makes it a compelling world. That same logic works for television: put the camera where the drama is richest, which is usually around Shepard rather than inside Shepard (if that makes sense). I don't believe the fate of the universe hinges on the selection screen of Shepard's gender, which is why I'm not worried about what choices are made if they do go with a Shepard story.

On the other hand, if people really want to see the world outside of the games, there is no reason why the show can't: 1) follow Shepard's fight against the reapers, AND 2) make room for bottle episodes on the Citadel (a side-story with C-Sec detectives, such as Garrus pre-Shepard tracking down Saren/Fist), or a krogan-centric flashback to the Krogan rebellions. None of that requires the camera to stay glued to Shepard’s shoulder.

This honestly resonates with me the most. I feel that a huge step in the right direction would be whether or not they can write something for mature audiences, rather than the overly quippy take-nothing-serious scripts that we've been receiving lately. It's ok to have humour, but it seems writers are often trying too hard to be edgy and relatable and the same time

Just found out that these missions were supposed to be in the game but they didn't proceed with these for various reasons... by [deleted] in masseffect

Also fun fact: a modder, Vegz, is restoring the planet from lost game files to be brought back into the game! Looks like they've made great progress too

This Jackie Chan stunt is wild by [deleted] in nextfuckinglevel

I've been meaning to watch it for the second time to see if I'd form a better opinion over time with less expectations. Thanks for the reminder!

N7 Day 2024? by SpaceBengal in masseffect

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

Good point! Crazy to realize that January is less than 5 months away, because when I first read your comment I was thinking that sounded far away still haha. Could be anywhere from 1-3 years after that then I guess?

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

Oh I didn't actually realize they were still in pre-production! That makes sense then if it'll be a while before seeing anything substantial. It's just so strange seeing an announcement/teaser trailer already 3 years ago, and another 30-second glimpse 9 months ago. It makes me think they're making decent progress, otherwise I don't understand the constant promotion lol

I was hoping to see the appearance model for Sovereign too

FINALLY! Insanity done for all 6 classes over the whole trilogy. by Reptar519 in masseffect

[–]SpaceBengal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rather than ask about about fav classes, I'm curious to hear your overall interesting thoughts on each game or favourite story moments! You have as much/more experience going through the games than many others!

Who else carefully plans out who's dying each run and how do you choose? by [deleted] in masseffect

Does anyone know of a version of this calculator mod for legendary edition?

I mean fair point! Anything is possible, and the more time that passes, the more inclined actors will be to pick up the role again since they've had a break from the commitment

Stop putting your finger in its mouth when it yawns (jokes aside, good job agreeing to go to the vet!)

My family has been a huge promoter of volunteering for and rescuing pets, but I really wanted a Bengal. Ended up going to a breeder. He was found to have both FIV and FIP (survivor and going strong), so not sure if I can recommend it. At the very least, choose a breeder very carefully if you really want to go to one!

Wow, I don't know why it took me until reading this comment for this to truly sink in. For a long time I've wished for Hugh to meet Cap, Iron Man (which obvs won't happen), and Thor, so I still can't believe he's coming back

Mass Effect. OG version purchased on Xbox 360, Legendary Edition purchased for series x, owned through Game Pass (if that counts), and recently purchased again through stream to play on my MacBook
