@budzaiHuh seems i totally missed the boat on that one here i thought i heard it all but seems i got slightly more digging to do very interesting!
oh yes i am fully aware of all those things plus all the other plot holes and "decisions matter EXCEPT those we choose to ignore in third game" like the rachni it was supposed to be a super big decision kill or let go but nope didnt * matter at all
Liara becoming the shadow broker and morrigan adviser to the empress i see both possible to happen there been many people who gone from the gutter to be politician or something else in high regard so this isnt impossible does it fit their character? NOPE!! but people can change both Liara and Morrigan was surrounded by very influential people for years that can affect them, did i like it? in Liaras case yes... in Morrigans its 50/50 i loved it coz i got my favourite char from Dragon age around me once again but what they did to her felt like she became a chicken in comparision to her earlier days.
The way i see the mass effect trilogy is like this ME1: investigate. ME2 Survive. ME3 80% Politics and 20% retaliation, retaliation might not best word of choice but i think u get my picture.
Main issue with ME3's ending or well ME3 in general is that it disregarded most of the choices in previous games at least thats how it felt to me also it was supposed to be the definitive end to the trilogy nothing more after that.. until they puked up Andromeda so going back to it now seems like a big WTF to me best would be to set it long long into the future at the end of Liaras life where everyone else is dead basically but then why bother going back? ugh so much of this shi't that dont make sense.
Like the entire legendary edition dont make sense.....
First thing i would do if i was in charge of it would be fire who ever it is that is so "Exited" about lens flares taking up half the screen The more i look at the comparisons the more disgusted by them i get :S i guess he / she never heard about "Less is more"
This screen made my day taken from Mass Effect Legendary Editions home page mhm totally accurate right?
Well, okay everything is possible, chaos theory, butterfly effects whatever. But realistically people might change their ideology or world view, but their core nature? Not really...
Personally I don't like how Liara and Morrigan were handled. Morrigan would use her kid to commit mass genocide sooner than becoming a nice mom. Especially how her own mother raised her.
Liara also had the problem of how blatantly BW pushed her as cannon love interest. Well guys, here is a thing: asaris are ugly.
I think I get your picture but the problem imo that ME2 should have been about building an alliance against the reapers and the third one should have been about the war. But both of these was in ME3...
Yeah working for Cerberus thing was good in theory, but it just created more problem with the story, and take away the time from building up the scene for the final conflict. It would have been a good a spin off though. My two favourite ME mission is still in ME2 though. The one on the dead reaper (the lovecraftian imagine was back there) and the suicide mission (expect the final boss) for obvious reasons.
And yes of course choices don't matter is a huge problem but I only listed my main story problems on the top of my head. So no argument from me here...
ON the end of the day the core problem with these two game series was that BW had good concepts but didn't have the balls to stick with them.
Because if Reapers are as strong as in ME1 the damage should have been way bigger in ME3.
And in Dargon Age... pro-trans Qunaris... They would be the last race to tolerate it.
- 5 years ago@budzai All good points of how things could have been, despite that just a reminder to EA/BioWare that we are hoping they at least make sure they don't do any unwanted changes the majority do not want, or at least give us an option for "original mode" to enjoy the original cut.
btw x.x I had liara for all 3 games lol, maybe I like em blue :D
