>>Cries like a bitch if you let the council die to fight Sovereign
Depends on your companions, ME1 as this weird morality system where one of your companions need to advocate for paragon and the other one for renegade

>>714128128 (OP)
>I'M ACTING IN MY SPECIES SELF INTEREST NOT EVEN IN A XENOPHOBIC WAY JUST IN A RATIONAL NATURAL WAY AND THAT MAKES ME A BIRD KEK ACCORDING TO SOME FUCKING RETARD
you probably call ash a space raycist too

All companions have a "Save the Council" and "Sacrifice the Council" line to make it a 'hard' choice by always having an advocate for both options regardless of who you take

>>714128519
My headcanon is that he's a council cuck at heart like most Turians. You can take the Turian outta Palaven but you can't take Palaven out of the Turian.

>>714128519
This
it also depends on how much you've swayed companions towards an extent of Paragon or Renegade

>>714128519
>>714128657
This. You can get him to say the exact opposite depending know your squad.

>>714128128 (OP)
Dumb example. Garrus advocates killing them if you have Kaidan or Liara, maybe Tali as well.
ME1 has to have the angel/devil on your shoulder approach. It goes Kaidan > Liara > Tali > Garrus > Ashley > Wrex from Paragon to Renegade, though Garrus and Tali might be swapped.
From a character standpoint Garrus would absolutely call for leaving the Council. Not just cause fuck them, but because he's a turian and it's the stronger strategic approach.

>Save them!
>Kill them!
Tali, I don't remember asking my suitrat onahole a goddamn thing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ablRsfNXoJc

>>714129519
>Garrus advocates killing them if you have Kaidan or Liara, maybe Tali as well
Tali is the one who advocates for killing them actually

>>714129796
Yeah, so flipped. Makes sense since Tali COULD be the only "renegade" if you leave Ashley and never recruit or kill Wrex

>>714129551
>Not a single glimpse of letting the council live
Based zipploc.

>>714128519
You can make Kaidan a space racist if you play as femshep. He'll always advocate sacrificing the council that way iirc

>>714130132
Yes. Only way for Wrex to say save them.
Pretty fun. Femshep pussywhips him so bad even Wrex is left like "jesus christ dude"

>>714128128 (OP)
It's not about the Council. That ship has a crew of ten thousand (saving it loses seven thousand Alliance personnel) and it was carrying a large amount of civilian evacuees on top of that. On top of that, saving the single biggest and most advanced warship in the galaxy gives you a leg-up in the coming war.

The other thread died. R8 my shep.

>>714130285
FemShep ME1 might be the best renegade play-through in the series.

Its a shame they basically dropped this mechanic, its kinda there with Garrus he could be hard Paragon or hard Renegade based off Shepard choices and it was how him getting his face scar was to be like Shepards weird face shit you get for going Renegade

>no game where you and garrus fly around space solving space crimes

>>714130810
That's just because renegade in ME1 is the best, since you are actually roleplaying a SPECTRE.

For femshep specifically though, ME1 still has her giving a regular voice performance instead of raspy tryhard chainsmoking femshep from ME2.
God I love ME1. Hate the direction the series went after it.

>>714132601
I got just the game for you pal.

>>714132712
kek

no joke, one of my favorite parts of ME2 is how you went around solving conflicts without an overarching plot

>>714128128 (OP)
Sacrificing humans in order to save the equivalent of multiple space presidents and their crews is good politics and likely the correct thing to do even from a renegade perspective.

>Sure they bitch and moan when I genocide things, but they gave me my cool spectre authority
>*reinstate spectre powers in 2*
>Human ones in 2 dont

They one of the good ones

>>714132857
More like solving daddy issues.

>>714132627
ME1 is the best one, though I have not played 3 I am still confident in my choice after the direction the main story went in 2. Though a lot of the side stuff is good like >>714132857 points out

>>714133268
It's tough to evaluate 2 because they basically destroy everything about the setting and the main story of the series, but then immediately put that catastrophic wreck on hold and do a bunch of side stuff for 20 hours. Some of that side stuff is really cool but at some point they had to address the steaming pile of shit in the room and that ended up being 3.

>>714132627
You're preaching to the choir. I don't mind the raspy chain smoking femshep in 2 though, it fits the fallen / dark night of soul act 2 was going for. It doesn't really work in the end, but at least they tried.

protip: ignoring the renegade interrupt when the merc recruiter mistakes you for a stripper is way colder than the pistol-as-a-dick retort. You just stare the guy down until he awkwardly moves on.
Also, not kicking the eclipse merc through the skyscraper window is pretty good too.

>>714132186

Pic related is a little questionable though. Could have just arrested her with the threat now over.

Ah yes, 'Sex Birbs.’ We will discuss this claim privately in your quarters.

>>714134454
If we're very lucky, it will never come out

>>714134454
I hope they just have enough sense to stop with the galaxy ending threats and just focus on a low stakes adventure instead.

Ok but will Mass Effect 4 continue tradition and have Garrus and Tali on the squad again like 1,2 and 3?

>>714134742
It's gonna be real bad bro. Like, Veilguard kill the series bad. Hopefully EA will take BioWare out back afterwards.
My hopes were for a First Contact War prequel, with characters like Anderson, TIM, Ashley's grandfather, Saren and his brother etc to tide things over, then a lower stakes game in the Terminus Systems. Maybe a heist type of thing.
Instead... screencap this: Shepard is coming back as a robot with memories from their time in the geth consensus, with the likely big universal threat coming from Andromeda. Likely the race thar disappeared in that game, can't remember the name

>>714135472
I feel like they learned their lesson with Veilguard to knock that off

>>714135676
No. They'll be dead. Very likely Grunt would be there though. Maybe Garrus' kid or something, but that'd get pretty iffy due to possible romance routes

>>714135714
Actually made me kek.
BioWare is fucked dude. They blame the audience for that; they thought it was great.

>>714134454
If this game releases in Q4 2029, which I expect it to, it's gonna be 9 full years.
It took 9 and half to go from ME1's launch, to Andromeda.

>>714135689
My dream ME spinoff since ME1 came out is a game where you play as Nihlus doing usual Spectre shit.
He has just the right amount of cool factor to be a great protagonist but with enough ambiguity left in his ME1 portrayal to have the player define his personality in his own RPG.

>>714135472

Exasperated ME3 renegade femshep is really good too.

>>714136176
Hold on, the collar thing is actually how their body looks? How

>>714128128 (OP)
ME1 feels like a game made by sci-fi fans.
ME2 feels like a game made by sci-fi fans being forced by corporate to streamline it for the mainstream audience.
ME3 feels like a game made by whoever the fuck was left over because everyone else who made the series special left after getting pissed off about how they got treated with ME2.
MEA feels like a fat tumblrina found the leftover scraps of the series and drew doodles all over it.

Is sentinel fun in ME2 or should i be complacent and just pick MANGUARD like I always do?

>>714137252
I don't know I guess that carapice evolved with them? Also it was designed like that from the very first game as seen by this concept art.

>>714137430
>Also it was designed like that from the very first game as seen by this concept art.
Yeah but I don't think we ever see a naked or even half naked one in that game

>>714137252
ME aliens had to use human rigging, for the most part. The solution to make things more "alien" was, in their words, to "add stuff on the back"
In-game, turians have an exoskeleton to protect from solar, cosmic, and UV rays as Palaven is weak to them. According to Garrus it's comprised of Thulium.

>>714137409
Pretty boring. Probably most fun in ME1 when biotics were broken.
Unless you considering tanking fun.

I wish ME games had some modding going on, even if it consisted of only some basic tweaks

>>714137465
We don't but these are official anatomical concepts. The illustration was done for the first Mass Effect. While the 3d render was made during Andromeda's development. For some reason it was never used in the actual game. I wonder if they did intend to have Vetra in an explicit romance scene at first. Before ultimately deciding to do a fade to black like with most alien romance options in this series.

>>714137570
ME1 biotic should definitely go Adept or Vanguard. One has EVERTHINGGG and the other has the shotgun rocket launcher ability (Carnage). Very fun to lift enemies then blast them away with that.

>>714137656
>I wish ME games had some modding going on,
Like what? I thought there were some projects that restored cut content along with graphical mods to better capture the OT's visuals for LE?

>>714137835
Some balancing stuff to bring the completely garbage abilities and weapons up to par, maybe a mod to make the outfits not pure liquid garbage visually in ME1, some bugfixes, etc.

>>714137884
ME1 has the best armors though...

>>714129551
>schizo tali
i love this

>>714137835
There's a mod that covers Kai Leng's face and mutes him, and it unironically makes him a better character.

>>714137570
So is there anything in ME2 that even comes close to how cool vanguard is? Every time I've played ME2 I've always gone that route, but I feel like I might be missing out by being complacent.

>>714137740
Absolutely, powers in ME1 are so fun, and the first game's combat is honestly kind of underrated. You can do things line put explosive ammo in your shotgun with huge knockback effect, and just run around as a barrier tank, using biotic powers to lift everyone into the air and fling them away with crazy shotgun blasts

>>714137917
Uh-huh.

>>714137959
Everyone knows female you go heavy armor
cmon bud

>>714137409
Sentinel si really OP in ME3 at least

>>714137959
If you didn't kit your entire squad out with Phoenix armor so you could roll up as a bunch of pink power rangers, you simply played the games wrong

>>714137953
Depends what you find fun.
I love Infiltrator, but I enjoy sniping.
Adept was dumbed down, but alright. Soldier is just use every gun. Engineer is meh, but CRAZY in 3. Sentinel is kind of just Soldier with less weapons.

>>714137953
I don't just agree that it's underrated, ME1 combat is my favorite in the series lol. I haven't even played the new LE1 gameplay (it could be worse or better, don't even know).
Love the no-ammo weapons and their unique ability each. Love the crowd control biotics. Love the tech explosion and disruption abilities. Love that each squadmates has more than 2 fucking abilities. Love the armors/weapons/mods/ammotypes/attachments you can get, especially the OP as fuck endgame ones.

>>714138284

>>714138290

>>714135714
lol

So how're the remasters

>>714138504
It took me multiple playthroughs to realize that femshep never says IVE LOST SHIELDS. That's terror.

>>714138551
They're ok but if you want to get the trilogy. Try getting the original copies as the LE drastically changes the visuals for the worse. Especially for the first games. Though there are QoL improvements in terms of vehicle handling in ME1.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYZJyKg2vVM

>>714138551
EA app is cancer and might break your install for no reason. Pirate if you must check it out.

>>714138097
Not a fan of "sit and wait" cover shooting. I always loved vanguard because the game is clearly set up as a cover shooter, but you can just say "nah fuck that" and zoom around the stage and get right in enemies faces. Meanwhile IIRC a lot of other powers in the game were nerfed vs ME1 since the powers don't do anything until shields/barriers are stripped.

So basically I guess what I'm asking is if any of the other ME2 classes allow you to be proactive and aggressive rather than always needing to hide and wait

>>714138551
Honestly aside from quality of life improvements to 1's gameplay they're pretty whatever. While SOVLfags blow it out of proportion there are definite lighting issues and camera shots being changed aside from just Miranda's ass.

>>714138763
>if any of the other ME2 classes allow you to be proactive and aggressive rather than always needing to hide and wait
I can only think of Soldier, because the upgraded adrenaline rush bullet time is so OP that you can use it out of cover and have enough time/damage to blast everyone away.

>>714138763
Not really.
That's what I mean by tanking though. Outside of Insanity a Sentinel could just say fuck it and walk around.
You could also try a shotgun infiltrator after the Collector Ship, but that works better in 3.

>>714138837
>quality of life improvements to 1's gameplay
I haven't played it myself but one thing that ticked me off was them adding more waist high cover in the levels. I dunno what the point of that even is, like it was never a problem that needed to be fixed about the OG game and strikes me as something that was done because the devs weren't even familiar with the combat system of the game they were remastering.

>>714138656
tbqh I never understood why on earth anyone bothers with femshep. Jennifer hale just sounds like she's an over-compensating tryhard trying to come off as a touch girlboss rather than just being effortlessly nonchalant like regular shepard

>>714138551
If you really care about HD textures and shit then modded originals look better by far because they retain the original lighting, and the DLC installers are all free nowadays. LE is really just a lazy cash grab for people who only know how to press play on the Steam launcher, or consoleplebs of course.

>>714139671
>modded originals
What are some good must have mods, then?

>>714139671
>because they retain the original lighting
ME1 needs project Merlin, but otherwise yeah.

>>714138916
Fair point but I don't see soldier being too appealing to me. Too "vanilla", I like being able to use cool powers for flavor

>>714138921
I think I'll give sentinel a try then. Tech armor doesn't have the movement of vanguard charge but being an absolute tank and then doing AoE nukes around you could be fun in its own way

>>714139736
Project Merlin
MEUITM
ALOT
ALOV
There is such an extensive ME3 modding scene, because the base game is shit, but EGM, Miranda Restored (I think that's what it's called), MEHEM and anything that catches your eye for gameplay tweaks, sure.
There's also a mod for Priority Earth called Take Back Earth, I think, which also revamps the final mission.
There's a fuckton of shit to fix the clusterfuck that is ME3.

>>714139736
ALOT/MEUITM is the big triumph of the old ME1 modding community, two mods that are built to work together. Also ME1 Recalibrated for the bugfixing side and FemShep Appearance Consistency Project if you want a good take on her "canon" appearance.
>>714139954
I'm pretty sure ALOT/MEUITM includes Merlin, or if not then I definitely remember them recommending it.

Alternatively if you want a super vanilla like experience with fixes to the OG port, you only need to fix a couple things: install a fixed Garrus face texture, and install it through the ALOT installer so it auto-fixes the texture file size in the ini files, and a higher resolution film grain texture (if you use film grain)

>>714138290
ME1 combat gets flak as a big 360 title because you had to pause the game to use powers on controller. I'm jealous PC users got to experience it essentially like ME2 combat by just pointing at dudes and launching/debuffing them. Could've used the dpad for mapping powers but they chose the useless squad placement instead.

>>714139545
What you described only begins with ME2 femshep, in ME1 she is very similar to male Shepard. A true genderswap instead of a completely different person.

>>714140143
Back then some devs had the decency to accommodate PC versions with unique UI that better suits KBM. And yeah I always played the PC version. I had the Xbox version but only briefly until it came out on PC.
Also the PC-unique hacking minigame was way better. It's actually strangely... fun.

>>714140143
The ME1 controls are absolutely baffling. I never realized this until now because in the past I placed with KB/M, and when I recently played through the remaster, I used my living room PC and used a controller from the couch. Ever since back in the day, /v/ always told me even ME1 was "consolized", so I figured it was designed to work just fine with a controller

Like hell it is, the gamepad controls make no sense at all. D-pad is for useless squad commands. Dedicated buttons for grenades and medkits. Press select to holster your weapon for some reason. And no controller remapping options either (yeah I know you can get these issues with steaminput but then your menu controls are gonna be all fucked up instead). Absolutely no idea what they were thinking with the controls. Anyone who says it was designed for consoles is just flat out wrong, it's basically KOTOR with real-time shooting instead of dice rolls

>>714140016
>I like being able to use cool powers for flavor
See this is one of my problems with ME2, I used to have zero worry about playing Soldier in ME1 because I got the four weapon abilities AND my squadmates' full fuckin suite of powers to fuck shit up with.
But ME2 is built around you being a one man army who occasionally pops one of the very few squad powers (usually Overload or Warp because of the shields spam on Insanity).

>let the OG Council die
>aliens elect all human councilors
>they refuse to speak with you and get replaced by a second set of alien councilors not too long after

>>714140719
BioWare is a small indie company that couldn't keep that ending, please understando

Aliens are better off if they submit to the BHC

>>714140661
True, one of the things I don't like about how ME2 handled things is effectively nerfing tech/biotic skills because many of them don't have a major effect until shields are gone. And if the opponent is down to their naked health bar... they're basically already dead anyway. Not like ME1 where it didn't matter if an enemy had full shields, if you used singularity, their ass was still getting spun around in the air.

>>714140570
I bet the sniper scope sway is a bitch to mitigate without a mouse.

>>714140789
Too be fair, bioware kinda backed themselves into a corner. Realistically the different actions taken in ME1 would have such drastic branching butterfly effects on the sequels, that by the time the player got to ME3, the entire plot in itself would be completely different from one person's save to another. And it just wouldn't be realistic for the devs to make such massive departures. It was inevitable that the end result would be "choices" that only offer superficial flavor and not much actual impact on ultimate outcomes. It's kinda surprising how much can actually be different come ME3 based on actions in the previous 2, R/G/B ending notwithstanding.

>>714141183
IIRC sway was added to PC controls to compensate. Meanwhile gamepad has significant auto-aim. This was pretty standard for xbox/PC ports at the time. I remember the PC ports of gears of war and halo 2 having downright comical recoil added when playing with KB/M that wasn't present if you chose to plug in a gamepad, for instance.

The sniper rifles also had sway if you didn't spec into them

>>714141330
PC version has a selectable auto-aim setting. Low, normal, high.
And yeah I know, sniper rifles are great when you invest in them.

Salarians did nothing wrong. Genophage was the most ethical and empathetic solution to the Krogan Question. Krogan sympathizers retort "well you shouldn't have uplifted them!" and while that might be true, a mistake made thousands of years ago should not condemn the galaxy to destruction at the hands of a plague of Krogan outbreeding the rest of the galaxy and bringing it to ruin. The games treat curing the genophage as the moral thing to do, but it would be disastrous for everyone.

>>714141486
>The games treat curing the genophage as the moral thing to do
I mean, only 3 really does that.

>>714141486
>The games treat curing the genophage as the moral thing to do, but it would be disastrous for everyone.
But it was necessary in beating the Reapers and what are Salarians if not pragmatic?
>a mistake made thousands of years ago should not condemn the galaxy to destruction
The Krogan can say the same to the Salarians. You reap what you sow.

>>714141486
It was more the Turians than the Salarians. While they made it their leaders were still deliberating on using it while the Turians held a gun to one of the scientists and told him to set it off.

>>714141941
Well, I mean they STILL made it.
I don't necessarily blame the turians for using a gun somebody put in their hands.

>>714141776
My view is personally give the krogan one last chance. They've earned it. They saved the galaxy twice.
Never allow them a navy, and if they get uppity, as Mordin puts it "humans and turians destroying krogan utterly" turn their entire species to glass.

>>714132627
It's a shame renegade turned so dumb in after ME1. There's only like 3 prompts throughout 2 and 3 where it feels like ME1 again, chief among them pic related, which I hit every time regardless of playthrough because Kai is, by far, the worst character in the entire trilogy. I'm not counting Starchild because he's just a literal plot device.

>>714141486
Krogan aren't that hard to kill if you know how to move. the galaxy is just full of lazy species that camp in combat and they didn't want to deal with an aggro'd species.

>>714133102
>multiple space presidents
The Council is like a step above the UN. Those aren't the leaders of their respective races. Especially the Asari who, like humans, have dozens of governments operating under a shared banner but would balk at any one voice declaring itself the only leader.

>>714142801
I think it's slightly different. The Council/Councilors can dictate laws on say, Dekuuna, or Kahje as it relates to galactic affairs, and Irune is just fully under turian control, but the council doesn't really have any influence on their respective home systems.

>>714134160

>>714128519
/thread
It is dumb but that is just the retarded morality system the devs decided to do
Garrus absolutely would support sacrificing the council in order to win. He is Turian after all.

I got the Refusal ending in my most recent playthrough without intending to. My Shep was kinda schizo who couldn't commit to paragon/renegade and just went off gut/mood to everything. Then he decided to be pissy with the Starchild and kept saying "nah" to all the options and then the game just ended with all life in the universe getting boliterated. Kinda annoyed because I thought I would have gotten to shoot him at least. One day I'll force myself to go through with Synthesis ending

>>714130285
the way you described it sounds fucking funny to me lmao

>>714134454
Didn't they say at one point after the release of this one that they still had to come up with a plot? There is zero hope for the series ever again

Don't we all? BioWare missed the opportunity in the original trilogy. I'd pass on the latter though.

ME3 was the best multiplayer wave/horde shooter ever made.
Go play it and have fun.
Shame they never got around to the campaign and left ME2 on a cliffhanger, but honestly the pricetag was still worth it, this was an absolute blast for like 100hrs.

Miranda or Tali? Hard choice here

>>714147672
I'd fuck the shit out of Miranda but I wouldn't bring her home to meet my parents. Tali is good relationship material

>>714147672
The hard part being how hard you are going to fuck Tali while Miranda watches?

>>714147672
Garrus

Wish that ME3 version of the mod would release already.

>>714151017
Not canon.

>>714151117
Irrelevant.

Are you ready to apologize?

>>714151117
Canon is some generic stock image with two of her fingers photoshopped away, so not being canon is a plus.

>>714135472
>Tuchanka being run by female Krogan
I get what you're trying to say, but this is actually canon regarding how one of the female Krogan warlords controlled everyone with her non-poisonous womb

>>714151328
literally never. there still hasn't been a worse ending to any piece of media in gaming, film, tv, anywhere. and it's not even close. maybe i should be grateful because no bad ending has ever come close to affecting me again. i was depressed for like a week after finishing ME3.

>>714151017
His outfits for them are really cool. Should make a vanilla face/new outfit version.

>>714151484
No no, that's not canon either.

Just beat 1 tonight. I'm afraid I'm going to be like you "1 is the best one" freaks but I honestly didn't have a problem with what I've heard described by many other people as "jank". I became a Mako pro by the end of my playthrough, I enjoyed running around with my sledgehammer round shotgun and explosive round pistol, solving the problems of the galaxy with my crew. It's unforgivable the downward trend the series took but I hope I at least enjoy ME2

>>714153162
2 was my favorite.

>>714153162
We're not "freaks", we're just correct.

Their best move would be to allow the player to pick a race and build the story around that. If they try to bring Sheploo back it's guaranteed to be trash.

>Save Kaidan over Ashley since he's the more valuable soldier
>Turns gay randomly in 3
Wtf?

>>714128519
Oh, it gets really funny when you have Tali and Liara in your team. You'd never thought Tali would be this bloodthirsty.

>>714128579
She is. Glad I killed her. The deserved fate of all brainlet racists.

>>714154335
Best not think about ME3.

>>714128128 (OP)
>depends on who your other teammate is
>"I hope you know what you're doing, human..."
The scorn he has in his voice if you let the Council die genuinely hurt me a little. He never refers to you as 'human' in a shitty way like that at any other point in the series. That's shit other aliens do, not my boy Garrus..

>>714128519
>bring Kaidan and Liara with me to fight Saren
>it's actually Kaidan that advocates for the Alliance to save the Council, not Liara

And that's why I always save Kaidan. I'm mostly a Paragon kind of player. When I die in ME3, he's the human Spectre the galaxy needs.

Yes I know he tries to suck my dick we don't talk about that.

>>714154434
Out-group bias is a terrible thing. You may befriend aliens but you will never be one of them.

>>714153162
>literally everything Anon said he liked is gone in ME2

>>714134160
Finally some good content.

>>714153162
I missed the ammo mods in the sequels. Watching people and animals get absolutely fucked by an explosive sniper was so good.

>>714154362
yeah I would

Reminder that Wrex + Garrus is objectively the best combo

>>714157314
Pretty crazy how you get tech, biotics, sniper, shotgun, assault rifles, and great banter with them. What more could you ask for

>>714131872
Why are they like this?

>>714134742
>focus on a low stakes adventure
Yeah, the Reaper threat is finally finished so the games can actually go for that direction. Doubt Bioware can do that though, they'd probably come up with Reaper 2.0 instead.

>>714144406
The refusal ending is great if you spend all of ME3, and most of ME2, destroying anything in the world that reminds you how much better ME1 is. Then you get to the end of the trilogy and refuse to take part in an of its shitty endings. Especially the extended edition ones, which I think are worse.
Its cathartic. Im no longer mad about ME3

>>714157314
Correct.

>>714154335
You can shoot him yourself in 3 to avoid that
