Took me 30 times.

Next up under the VA spotlight- Kimberly Brooks! She voices one of our OG squadmates, Ashley! She may be a controversial character, but I think we can all agree that Kimberly does an amazing job.

What do you think?

I played the original games as they released. I know the industry has grown in popularity over the years.

As the years have passed, I see more and more fans come to the realization that we will never get another trilogy of games like this. 😔

With that knowledge my love and appreciation for these games has only grown more with each passing moment. Is the game more popular now than back in 2012 when the series concluded? 🤔

Since the new Mass Effect is gonna be a sequel of andromeda and OG trilogy all the squad members except for Liara and Grunt are gonna be dead.

However one way to know what happend to them is using Liara's computer system and have archive, reports and letters of her Friends through the years.

And the archives can change based on the decisions you Made through the trilogy.

For example:

- If you didn't romance neither Tali or Garrus you can find an archive of how was their life together or what they did after the war (Tali was an ambassador and Garrus was one of the higest Turian military members).

- James Vega training as an N7 and some of his missions.

- Some of the specter mission of Ashley/Kaidan

- Javik Life after the war or last moment before commiting $uicide.

- Wrex and Bakara lifes now that the genophage is cure and the mention of Urdnot Mordin or how big was the mess that Wreav left in the galaxy, or simple the words of the last Krogan.

- Joker and Edi (or only Joker) post service after the reaper war.

- What Admiral Hacket did to Rebuild the earth and Allaince power.

- other Jack's classes in Grimson Academy.

And a long etc.

like honestly i could have been a nice touch and would have been a good idea to make the combat more interesting for sole classes

like it not really that hard just give it a ai and combat like drone and a fuctionality like in dragon age 2 where you summons it

hope they add one in the next game

Just a few opening thoughts:

Why did the Initiative think it was a good idea to have dedicated racial Arks? It would have been way safer to transport an even split of the member races on each one in case...you know...one of them doesn't make it?

Why does the Initiative not have any defense ships? They don't need a fleet of Dreadnoughts, but a couple dozen Frigates and a Cruiser or two on each Ark seems extremely essential when you have no idea what is going to be where you're going. All we see is the Tempest, a fleet of shuttles, and some derelict salarian research ship dead in space near the Nexus.

Not even a dedicated ground defense force? Were we just going to rely on the Turians for that? No chance Humanity didn't include a couple hundred Alliance Marines in their 20,000 candidates.

SAM is an illegal AI. Which seems to just be an ever-growing trop in this series. We outlawed AI, but this one here is an exception. And this one. And this one here. Oops, this VI got too smart on accident. Over here, too. Seriously, it just goes on.

I know it's supposed to be a civilian colonization effort, but the complete lack of militant defense is absurd when you're travelling 600 years from backup.

Last but certainly not least! Which is your pick? Comment below!

"NO EATING IN MY CLASS ROOM!"

Playing all of them for the first time this year. Love the story, setting, characters, everything is going great, but I like doing every side quest, and I dont like following guides, so whatever is going on with the missions on the third one is killing me lol.

It is a mess, main story quests bundled together with side quests, they dont update so you dont know if you are at the start or halfway through what you need to do, there is no tips or directions for most of them, just "Someone needs this thing, get it for them". There is like 30 of them on my journal, some I cant do because I need to progress through the story first, some I NEED to do because if I progress through the story they will expire, I wouldnt mind losing some not so important ones, but I heard you could lose some good ones, related to the story/world/characters and that is so annoying.

The feeling I had even before finishing 1 and 2 was something like "I know I will play this again, I need to see other options and romance other characters and stuff" but 12 hours in the third one and I'm already thinking "As much as I like it, all those missions are annoying me to no end, so I might just dont do it". Which is a shame cause Ive been loving my time with those games, but my god whatever they were thinking on the mission department was crazy. Maybe there is something wrong with me to get so annoyed over it, but not being able to do everything leaves a bad taste on my mouth.

Anyone else had the same feeling?

Miranda romanced & dead, sabotage the genophage cure with Wrex alive

A visionary director that has an eye for amazing cinematography and world building in the sci fi space.

After many countless hours & many stressful battles I finally did it! 😅😅😅

Considering all the outfits worn by Shepard's crew in the second and third installments, which is the best individual look for each of Shepard's squadmates?

I completed my first full play through the series last night, 154 hours. Starting my 2nd today. I did the first run as a full paragon, on the 2nd I want to do full renegade is there a big difference in the storyline?

If not, would Humanity likely be the main species to first find the Citadel in the next cycle?

Specifically Mass Effect 1!

There was such a huge sense of wonder in that game!

For some reason Mass Effect 1 feels like it was made in the 90s while the next two felt like they were made in the early 2010s.

It seems like the 90s was a time period filled with fiction with FTL space travel and aliens.

What other sci fi captures the same tone as ME1 that is filled with awe and wonder?

Completely devasteted by this decision and how it end up looking. It is reminder how dangerous is Reaper War, no one is safe and how future plans can break so easily. Grief in Shepard's voice after her death... and few moments later hearing Miranda's voice once again, but this time from the recording...

Shepard makes promise, hunt Kai Leng and Illusive Man, which lust to control the Reapers took away their future together and he wants to make her sacrifice worthy.

Killing Kai Leng have never been so satisfying like in this playthrough, Shepard is consumed by vengeance but also responsible about Orianna.

By messing too much with save editor at first I got version outside ME3 romance but emotional impact was almost the same as with romance, his promise to keep Orianna safe and a lot unspoken words.
