[[MORE]]I prefer DA2 too. I’m not saying one approach is better than the other (I actually don’t even have a preference, I think each of the approachs works better with certain kinds of stories), I’m saying you can’t take one approach for a while and then switch to another like it’s nothing....

Shepard as Savior: Archetypes in ME3
high0castle:
meronym:
Hm. About this:
Recently I’ve been reading some commentary about how Mass Effect 3 can’t possibly end on a bitter note for Shepard because he’s not a traditional tragic hero with a traditional tragic flaw.
I don’t think people are mentioning the fact that Shepard isn’t a tragic hero to say that ME3 couldn’t possibly end on a bitter note, we’re mentioning it to point out...

Shepard as Savior: Archetypes in ME3
high0castle:
Recently I’ve been reading some commentary about how Mass Effect 3 can’t possibly end on a bitter note for Shepard because he’s not a traditional tragic hero with a traditional tragic flaw. If you’re going by Aristotle’s guidelines or Elizabethan structure, than sure. He doesn’t fit that mold. Fortunately, we’ve grown a bit beyond the structure laid out in Poetics or we’d never have...

WHY DO PEOPLE LIKE JAVIK? TELL ME PLEASE.
Because he will cut off the limbs of traitors and make them decide to either eat their own body parts or starve.
How the fuck do you expect a civilisation that’s on the brink of extinction and where every traitor can mean the difference between survival and...

or when we thought that completing any of the ME2 side missions was actually going to yield an effect in ME3? or when your personal history was going to be mentioned more than twice? and have some relevance beyond banter that we might miss out on? or when our decisions mattered in the end?

INCREDIBLE READ!!!!
while 99% of the game was the same top-notch, engaging, tear-inducing stuff that we’ve come to expect, the last five minutes or so is a steaming, Hersey’s Kiss-sized dollop of dog shit that you are forced to ingest at the conclusion of the meal, like a mint, before they let you out...

Indoctrination Theory Proven?!

It’s just been found by some guy that the plants found on the Normandy crash planet are labelled with the prefix “DREAM”. Could that mean that indoc theory is right?! Fingers crossed

Fingers crossed on this being real.

"All that matters is the ending" Mass Effect... →
angryladykatie:
Favorite quote:
“A lot of detractors of theRetake Mass Effect movement say that fans shouldn’t have any say in how the ending of story is told, and that those that complain about the ending are entitled brats. The phrase they like to pull out is artistic integrity. Even the co-founder of Bioware, Ray Muzyka, used this term artistic integrity to defend the ending in his...

Banter
Garrus Vakarian: All right my turn. What's the first order an Alliance Commander hives at the start of combat?
Jeff 'Joker' Moreau: Uh, I give up.
Garrus Vakarian: Correct!
Jeff 'Joker' Moreau: All right big guy. What do you call it when a turian gets killed by a horrible spiky monster.
Garrus Vakarian: Friendly fire. Come on that one goes back to Shan-Xi.
Jeff 'Joker' Moreau: Gotta respect the classics.
Garrus Vakarian: How many humans does it to activate a dormant relay?
Jeff 'Joker' Moreau: 602, 600 to vote on it, one to ask the Asari for technical help and one to ask for a seat on the counsel afterwards. How do you know when a turian is out of ammo?
Garrus Vakarian: He switches to the stick up his ass as a backup weapon. Why does the Alliance hire pilots with brittle bone disease?
Jeff 'Joker' Moreau: You're shitting me! The turian military has one about me?
Garrus Vakarian: Oh, absolutely. I heard it myself from a private back on Palaven.
Jeff 'Joker' Moreau: All right why does the Alliance hire pilots with brittle bone disease?
Garrus Vakarian: So their marines can beat someone in hand-to-hand drills.
Jeff 'Joker' Moreau: Damn, you need to tell James that one. Hey what's the hardest part about treating a turian who took a rocket to one side of his face?
Garrus Vakarian: Figuring which side took the hit!
