Suggestion:New Mass Effect
Hey everyone, fellow Mass Effect fans! I've had an idea floating around in my head for a while now and I'd love to hear what you all think about it. It's about connecting the Mass Effect 3 endings with the new game and the potential return of Shepard. My thought is that BioWare could allow us to import our saves from ME3 with any ending, but the dialogue options related to romantic relationships and full Shepard continuity would only unlock if you chose the "Destroy" ending where Shepard survives. This could be explained by the nanotechnology from the Lazarus Project. What are your thoughts on this? Do you think it would help BioWare elegantly bridge the story and also respect player choices? Let me know in the comments. Thank you!7Views0likes0CommentsNew game Mass Effect
Hello BioWare Team, As a long-time and dedicated fan of the Mass Effect series, I would like to contribute an idea regarding story continuity in the upcoming game. Given the various endings of Mass Effect 3 and the teaser with Liara and the N7 armor, it's clear that addressing this will be crucial for many. I propose the following approach, which would respect player choices while allowing for a strong continuation of the story: * Allow save imports from any Mass Effect 3 ending: Enable players to transfer their saved game regardless of which ME3 ending they chose (Destroy, Control, Synthesis, Refuse). This would honor their investment and emotional decisions. * Canonicalize the "Destroy" ending (with Shepard's survival) through additional content: * For players who import a save from the "Destroy" ending (under conditions where Shepard survives), the new game would unlock special dialogues, side quests, and deeper interactions related to Shepard's return and their romantic relationships. This would serve as a direct continuation of their story. * Explanation for Shepard's survival: This could be simply linked to the nanotechnology and enhancements Shepard received through Project Lazarus in Mass Effect 2. If Shepard survived such an ordeal, surviving the final explosion, supported by these enhancements, would make sense. * EDI's fate: Similarly, if the Normandy could be repaired (as suggested by the scene after the Destroy ending), EDI, as its integral digital component, could also be restored in some way, perhaps in a different form or requiring reactivation. Her deep connection to the ship could serve as a bridge. * For other endings: If a player imports a save from another ending (Control, Synthesis, Refuse), the new game could assume that Shepard did not physically survive and became a legend. Dialogues and the story in such cases would focus on Shepard's legacy and its repercussions, but without directly continuing their personal relationship storylines. Players would still be immersed in the world, but would be subtly motivated to try the Destroy ending if they wish to experience the "complete" narrative. I believe this approach would allow BioWare to continue Shepard's powerful story (as hinted by the teaser), while respecting the diversity of player choices and providing players with clear motivation. Thank you for your consideration! Lapso123 A loyal Mass Effect fan❤️16Views0likes0CommentsSuggestion: EA collaborate with Discord on a Mass Effect Profile Collection
What if EA reached out to Discord to license them out the branding of Mass Effect for a new store collection. Personally I'd really love a N7 background effect or nameplate on Discord. Some ideas I have: Quarian Helmet Avatar Decoration, Reaper (Attached/clutching the side of the avatar) Avatar Decoration, Liara (Asari) Avatar Decoration, Turian Armor Avatar Decoration, Paragon/Renegade Profile Effect & Nameplate, N7 Profile Effect & Nameplate, Mass Relay Profile Effect, Normandy SR2 Profile Effect, Omni Blade Nameplate Would be nice for those of us who want to display our love for the series on our Discord accounts. I see other games up there :) What do you think?VanillaSpooks5 days agoRising Newcomer10Views0likes0Commentsachievements are not unlocked
I just finished Mass Effect 2 via Steam, and I got a romance with Miranda and completed it on Insanity. When I did this, the respective achievements were not unlocked. I clarify that I never touched anything about the difficulty. I spent 42 hours playing to get the Platinum, and this is happening to me.😢😢25Views0likes0CommentsTerrible Service In General
So I recently redownloaded Star Wars battlefront 2 loaded it up to a password being expired due to being logged off so long come to the realization I don’t have that email or phone number from 2017 but I have the same account fully updated etc (I just don’t play a lot EA Play) I have been drastically trying to get my Old EA account unlinked from my Xbox account because it’s a once a lifetime link and I can’t play or link a new EA! I have had Microsoft tell me they couldn’t unlink but provide any assistance with my account so I’m chatting with an EA support member whilst on the phone with Microsoft these answers are from the Source of my account and it’s entirety, only to be told they couldn’t match my indentity with their systems which is going off of 2017-2018 information with no updates since then. Terrible Experience Full Loss of a game I paid for due to this and the support person was just so unhelpful but I guess ima have to make a Smurf account to enjoy ma game smh. I can play on pc and I do but this game isn’t cross play with Xbox/PS so solo runs yaaaaySkeezeBluez21 days agoRising Newcomer17Views0likes0CommentsMass Effect Legendary Edition needs to come to the Switch 2
With Xbox going down in flames at the current moment, us as gamers really need a positive/win. I think it would be absolutely amazing if EA/Bioware would make the Mass Effect trilogy on the Nintendo Switch 2. I really hope someone over there reads this. With all the negativity going on currently please give us something to have faith in EA/Bioware, doing this game on the Switch 2 would show good faith. Thank you for taking some of your time and reading this and I hope that everyone has a great day or night.HiddenOne31224 days agoSeasoned Newcomer92Views2likes0CommentsInteresting concept for devs/modders to explore
Is our universe contained inside a black hole? If so, what's out there if/when we break out? Combine it with DC's Brainiac concept, where there's a race keeping hundreds of universes in bottled-up black holes to study? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKeCr-MAyH4&ab_channel=StarTalkjklauderdale2 months agoNewcomer21Views0likes0CommentsHelp! Stuck on Loading Screen After Boarding the Ship in ME3 Citadel Mission
after fighting through the vehicle shop and trying to board the ship, my game gets stuck on an infinite loading screen. I’ve tried: - Reinstalling the game - Disabling all mods - Reloading earlier saves Nothing works Playing on Steam (Legendary Edition). Any fixes or suggestions? Thanks!31Views0likes0CommentsCannot get ME Andromeda to connect to online from XBOX GamePass
Hey peeps! I recently downloaded the ME Legendary Edition and then started a play through of Andromeda. I cannot get the game to connect to online, I keep getting a “Network Connection Error” message. My internet is working fine (I can play other games on GamePass without issues as well as multiplayer on other games) and I do have an EA Play account. I tried all the troubleshooting tips I could find online (Persistent storage, alternate MAC, delete local saves, etc). Somewhere I saw it could be a linking issue with your EA account and XBox. So I logged into my EA play account that matches my XBox account and I got this message when I tried to link them. Your accounts can't be linked because your Xbox account RhiRun already linked to your EA Account for d *****@disabled.ea.com. An EA Account can only be linked to one Xbox account in its lifetime. I have zero idea where to go from here. Thanks for any info!37Views0likes0CommentsMass Effect collection and Legendary Edition removed from library
Why was my Mass effect Collection edition with all the dlc's and Legendary edition was removed from my library? and if i want them back to contact game hub. Wtf is this? and Why is saying "you removed" I never did such thing. I still have the case i bought many years ago.52Views0likes0CommentsError: Failed to launch game, An error on our end caused the launch to...
I bought ME:LE on steam and played it for about a week. Then a day or two after getting to ME2, one day the game stopped launching and instead reported the error in the title. When I attempt it in offline mode I get no error, and it fails silently. The game launcher never starts up. Something stops in steam and I can only suspect it has to do with the EA app. Just an assumption really though. I have tried every measure I could find. And every suggested steps to correct the problem that EA help could provide. And I have tried many things on my own. I feel at this point I have tried everything. So I am posting here to preserve the info. I even went so far as to do a complete format and reinstall of windows. a fresh install of the game, and a freshly downloaded and updated EA app. And the problem persists just as before. It has been about 10 days now. Will update if I get anything. -JosiahJosiahCOgram4 months agoRising Newcomer45Views1like0CommentsEA App integration fix for ME3MP
Okay, so back when we had the first iteration of... questionable software implementation that was Origin - we had the ability to interact 'properly' with users in our friends list through the Origin overlay. This mainly meant things like being able to invite people mid-game to our lobbies and, by extension, being able to run private lobbies without having to worry about losing people, which is especially important with the current state of the game. (being both very dead from an updates perspective and very very buggy from a technical perspective). I'm sure I speak for the entire PC multiplayer player base, which is still surprisingly active, when I say that with the increasingly unstable and problematic experience of running and playing the actual game, it is really important to us to have lobby management and social features working as well as possible. The fact that you can invite people from the lobby means that the functionality is present and working so it should just be a case of actually implementing things properly. If not, adding support for other platforms like Discord or Steam social systems (a ridiculous long shot I know) would be better than nothing as the current state is one of the main draws for many people to this game today is the multiplayer experience which is getting harder and harder to enjoy for all of us. Would appreciate any EA response to this.Local_Boomer434 months agoSeasoned Newcomer24Views1like0CommentsMass effect legendary edition only four language

Commander, you receive a new message at your private terminal! Mass Effect 2 will be undergoing planned maintenance on May 6th, which means you might run into a few hiccups if you're jumping into the game that day. What to expect: The Cerberus network that checks for DLC content may cause errors during the downtime. You can still launch and play the game offline, but you might see error messages or brief connection issues. The error typically looks like the following There’s no need to reinstall anything, and everything should return to normal once maintenance wraps up. Thanks for bearing with us while we keep things running smoothly. 🎮 I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite maintenance notice on the Citadel.EA_Shepard4 months agoCommunity Manager44Views1like0CommentsMass Effect 3 won't launch
So I go to launch Mass Effect 3 and it says it could not activate the game on the computer using the Origin account. Origin has not been used for years, and in all the other times I have played Mass Effect 3 on the EA app, it never did anything like that before, and it didin't do anythign similar to the other two games in the trilogy. Even odder is that when I go to put in the product key, it says I'm not connected to the Internet, even though I blatantly am. Something is seriously wrong here, and it isin't anything on my end. Repairing and uninstalling, then reinstalling didin't help either, so it is something on the EA app's end.kenzer1004 months agoRising Novice30Views0likes0CommentsHappy N7 Day!!!!
