Oblarg Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 (edited) I'd say that's pretty outright... Yeah, nevermind - no idea how I missed that when I read through it. Also: Once Shepard reaches the top of the elevator he begins a conversation with GUARDIAN where all the mysteries of the universe are revealed. What the **** kind of **** writing is this?

Volourn Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Eh. It's not the first story to go that route, and has done so in many different forms of entetrainment. There are biooks, movies, tv shows, and the like who have gone down that path. It's not lame just ebcause, it depends on how it is approached. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

On the contrary, many sci-fi games begin that way. I got the feeling that's going to be the hardest ending to achieve.

Oblarg Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Gotta love the language they use in the developer notes: This is a temp fix to try to keep most of the level playable as we get the art done. What would take place here instead of a popup is fighting and exploration through CSec headquarters followed by a climactic conversation at Bailey's office where you find out the council is in danger and Udina is a jerk, who must be stopped. At that point you will exit csec into a patrol car. So, "Udina is a jerk?" I think we already know that.

Malcador Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Well the music will be EPIC, at least. Why has elegance found so little following?

Orogun01 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Well the music will be EPIC, at least. I put to a vote that ME3 should be a musical, after all what better way for Shepard to "come out". Ohhh and Mordin too!

Giantevilhead Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I guess they're really softening up the sci-fi in this game. In the VGA trailer, the Reaper's beam weapon was weaker than an WW1 artillery shell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giantevilhead Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Mass Effect never had strong science. It was always space opera, for the drama. It pretended to have OK science. There are all those codecs that explain how the tech work. The characters throw out technobabble that use a lot of real science. The Normandy is actually designed like how a real stealth vessel would be like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't mean anything bad, space opera science can be quite fun and well-thought out. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

Tale Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 The Normandy is actually designed like how a real stealth vessel would be like. Having a pilot at the front and a floor to ceiling window at his station is probably significantly worse than beam weapons not being up to expectation.

Jaesun Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 The Mass Effect series was never stated as a "OMG SERIOUS BUSINESS" RPG. It is only a B Movie Space Opera, which it delivers.

It's not suppose to engage in combat. Plus since it is designed for stealth, it would have limited sensors as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greylord Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 How does the Normandy destroy the Collector cruiser when one had eschewed all upgrades? I've never actually gone up against the Collector Cruiser without upgrades...so don't know. Maybe almost everyone dies on the way there? On the other note, I think they said in ME1 that the Normandy was a Frigate. With the size being bigger with the Normandy 2...I'm not certain...probably still a Frigate? Or maybe something else?
