Mass Effect 3

[LightSpectra]

Most people don't bring Legion to Tali's recruitment mission, but it is possible. The geth there are heretics. (It also results in an amusing scene where Tali shoots at Legion when you first see her in person.)

I didn't know you could do that.

Spoiler :

As long as ME3 doesnt have a star wars ending where we face a half done human Reaper and shep has to destroy it.

Pretty sure that isn't going to happen.

 

[LightSpectra]

Wasn't that the ending to, uh, Mass Effect 2?

 

[Maniacal]

Yes, that is why I don't think they are going to do it again in ME3

 

[LightSpectra]

The twist ending to ME3 is that Shepard was a Reaper the whole time.

I'm calling it.

 

[Jos Ballenbak]

Or has a twin brother who is a reaper

 

[LightSpectra]

The super-perfect Paragon ending I'm hoping for:

Spoiler :

The Reaper invasion is repelled, of course.

- The true geth make a truce with the Council after working together to fight the Reapers. Legion becomes the ambassador to the Citadel.

- The quarians acquire a seat on the Council after using their flotilla to fight the Reapers. The geth evacuate their homeworld as part of the truce (they didn't really want it anyway), and Tali becomes the quarian councilor.

- Wrex becomes Krogan Emperor with Grunt as his top agent. Mordin comes to peace with himself by curing the krogan of the genophage, seeing as how they are now restrained under Wrex's rule. Then Mordin dies happily at a very old age by salarian standards.

- Zaeed reclaims his spot as leader of the Blue Suns.

- Samara returns to being a Justicar and becomes a paragon for her kind among the asari.

- Garrus is inducted as a Spectre.

- Liara continues her role as Shadow Broker, using the organization for good to hunt terrorist organizations. Miranda, Jack and Thane work for the same cause.

- Jacob and Kasumi settle down on earth and have plenty of Sentinel children.

- Commander Shepard continues to serve as a Spectre on the Normandy, with Kaiden/Ashley, Dr. Chakwas, Kelly Chambers, EDI and Joker on her crew.

- Ambassador Udina is assassinated by Conrad Verner, who went insane, claiming that Udina was working for Saren and the rachni.

Spoiler :

I don't think Tali would make a good councilor, some other Quarian would do so (maybe you could choose her, but I don't think she would like it either, and besides, there's going to be a lot of hot human-on-quarrian sex after ME3 )

Dunno what Miranda will do but that would be one possibility.

Udina, despite being a dick (he IS a politician), seems pretty invaluable for the human diplomatic/political arm. Though I imagine he is probably going to retire pretty soon due to the sheer stressfulness of the job).

As well (depending upon your choice) Captain Anderson will not be a head ambassador (Udina is canonically the councilor) as he quits in the 3rd novel after helping the Turians take out several Cerberus bases)

Anyways, off to drinking and a new year!

The super-perfect Paragon ending I'm hoping for:

What, no rachni?

 

[LightSpectra]

The rachni queen possesses friend-zone turian to temporarily give him the self-confidence to ask out his quarian friend.

 

[Maniacal]

...

What? I don't follow.

...

What? I don't follow.

Friend Zone Turian is a turian that you can see in Eternity on Illium, talking to a quarian about relationships. He's obviously stuck in the Friend Zone, despite dropping the usual hints about having a thing for her, and the quarian is either oblivious or aware of it and playing with him. Also provides the quarian with an excellent excuse to make fun of the ME fan universe's obsession with Tali.

"It's always the same thing. 'Ooooh, she could get sick. She's vulnerable. I wonder what she looks like under the helmet.'"

 

[Maniacal]

Ah right, I loved listening to their conversations. And the Human, Turian and Salarian co-workers giving the Salarian a bachelor party at a table with an Asari dancer.

 

[Kozmos]

Yeah I never got the thing with Tali, it was like she was designed with nerds in mind. Good thighs, but freaky hooves so it fills the weird, shy quota to register on the nerdar.

Miri is the LI with tits, Jack is the LI with lips, and Tali is the one with the ass. Although Miri also has a decent ass.

And those are really less "hooves" and more "flippers", IMO.

 

[Maniacal]

I'm pretty sure its not flippers, since there is a clear divide between the "toes", but I don't know if they are hoofs either.

It's really a shame that Bioware sexualizes most of its female characters. Tali and Dr. Chakwas are the best female crew members by default because I can't help but roll my eyes at the others. I would much prefer Samara if it weren't for her ridiculous cleavage. Ashley and Liara made great Token Wholesomes until Bioware threw in the mandatory sex scenes. Don't get me started on Matriarch Benezia.

I suppose it's somewhat justified for Jack but that's canceled out by the fact that her character is generally just unpleasant.

Edit: I bet at this point, I've alienated all of my compatriot Mass Effect fans. So I'll just shut up now.

 

[Dachs]

Ashley wasn't wholesome, just a rasist.
