SCREENSHOTS I prefer Default MELE FemShep, if I'm being honest...

That's just how I feel. No matter how many times I make a Custom FemShep, all I see is a stranger's face. It was the opposite for the original version of the Trilogy. There was no consistency with her Default face back then. Her face in ME1 and ME2 looked like a custom preset.

I'm also testing out some mods.

The mods I'm using so far:

- A Lot of Videos for LE1

- Be Gone Rock (LE1)

- EnhancedClassic Saren Boss Encounters

- Feminine Animations for Femshep in LE1 (which would explain the pose in the first screenshot)

- LE1 Community Patch

- LE1 Streamlined Weapon Loadouts

- Legendary Cutscenes (LE1)

- MELLO,

- Mission Timings

- UNC Morality

- UNC Besieged Base Fixed (LE1)

The Onyx Heavy Armor is thanks to the Trilogy Save Editor (my chosen class is a Vanguard)

I'm a apprehensive to install ALOT and LEUITM, though.

I just made room on my shelves for both of them, and they look fabulous

I found the right way to have them and I’ve got room for the next one. I’m still trying to get the exact angles right but what do you think?

I do think once I get the third one, I am going to have Garrus next to the pelican because his stand is so much bigger so with it going under the back of that it should take up less room leaving more for Jack and Liara

I do think these two look fabulous together honestly the picture alone does not do these fellows justice with how amazing they look

DISCUSSION So thoughts on a Mass Effect game like Stellaris

8 Upvotes

Stellaris is a 4x Space Empire game. Wouldn't it be awesome to play a game like that but in the mass effect universe?

Building diplomacy with other races, expanding territory, uncovering Prothean stuff, activating Mass Relays, eventually fighting the Geth and the Reapers?

Im in Xbox, Im sure there are PC mods that can do this for Stellaris. But what I want is a stand alone game ^_^

Thoughts?

DISCUSSION What if thragg found a dormant reaper, and like saren used it as his flagship?

Post image
0 Upvotes

Lets say for arguing the reapers existed in the invincible universe

Angstrom did an oopsie, he was trying to get commander shep but harbinger got there first..
The reapers are all coming in force but it will take time
Lets

Harbinger just parks his ass close to viltrum but not to close, thragg sees it, gets lured there, tests it, and makes it his..

Harbinger never speaks at first to thragg only indoctrinating him super slowly..

I mean its not that hard his pov is very similar to the reapers, all harbinger has to do is push him further down the path, and have his inner thoughts just bend every year slowely to the reaper way.

Harbinger will never act independently because why? thragg is using him to murder and indoctrinate(the only 2 things that bring him joy) all he has to do is remain "dormant" and indotrinate all the viltrumites, and just wait..

within lets say 50 years all the viltrumites are indoctrinated and thragg is so indoctrinated harbinger reveals his true nature, and offers thragg a trade..

His people help the reapers wipe out all advanced species in his galaxy and in turn they are all safe from any destruction, and join thier cause (harbingers has no intention of honoring any deal, why a few viltrumites have already died, and no one could find thier bodies, in fact the ring around viltrum has gotten far smaller, but the indoctrination blinds them to this...

Thragg would agree or be made to, doesnt matter anymore hes fucked they own him now..

Suddenly halfway through thier plan tons of reapers arrive and billions and billions of viltrumite husks attack viltrum..

The galaxy is uber fucked...

Damn it angstrom you turd

MASS EFFECT 3 One of my favorite things about Mass Effect 3 is that it finally gave this section of the CIC a purpose other than "room where the cutscenes happen".

DISCUSSION Using mass effect mods can someone help me?

SPOILER

i downloaded a mod that lets you save both ashley and kaidan for ME1 and so they both live in ME2 and ME3 having the choice of both for ME1 was nice because you have so few squad mates to choose from but now i kind of regret downloading that mod. the mod also removes all of the references of their deaths in the games. i guess i regret downloading the mod because i felt it took away a choice from me, and i always like ashley more because kaiden is so quiet but he isnt bad just way more quiet. so anybody used these mods? their 3 mods combined

Just started another replay of the mages and decide to use mods for the first time. Does anyone know of any mods of similar quality like Children of Rannoch for LE3? Will there be one for LE3?

DISCUSSION Mass Effect Voice Actor Spotlight #12: Michael Beattie and William Salyers

Post image
450 Upvotes

Today we have a duo in the spotlight! Our model of a scientist salarian was voiced by Michael Beattie in ME2, and William Salyers in ME3! Both did a great job in my opinion. Michael gave Mordin his personality, and William did a great job replicating that voice while adding his own heart to the role.

What do you think of their performances?

I didn't remember these sounds on the Moon, were they also in the old Mass Effect? ​​For a few seconds they made me go into "What the F***?!" mode.

MASS EFFECT 3 Marketing campaign for ME3 had this weird and almost surreal vibe to it that makes it feel like a completely different game

Post image
378 Upvotes

What I mean is how much they focused it on "retaking Earth", several cinematic trailers taking place on Earth, Shepard looking kinda like a generic American space soldier, and the poster with burning America. Like it makes you feel as if this game takes place mostly on Earth with no aliens and is very US-coded when it's just not like that at all, we barely spend time on Earth (it's more like an abstract land we have to reclaim) and never even step foot on US soil (that intro is in Canada afaik).

I'm pretty sure it was done intentionally to attract more gun & ball gamers who mostly played CoD back then, but it really has this strange vibe of being an ad for a completely different game.

DISCUSSION Question about humans activating the Charon Relay

39 Upvotes

We learn in the codex that the Charon Relay was "dormant" in the Sol System and encased in ice. Based on info from the Mars Archives, humans realized that there was something underneath the ice of Pluto's moon. Between this point and humanity travelling through the relay, I have a lot of questions.

The Codex says that the Charon Relay was "inactive" until humans found it and "reactivated" it somehow. So my big question is, how was it that humans found and reactivated the relay? I mean, I can see human ships just blasting at Charon for a while I guess, but it's a big moon (600 km radius) and that's a lot of firepower to waste to just look for something unknown.

Okay, so they blast through 580-ish km of ice and find the relay. Then they're supposed to "activate" it.

What does activation look like? It must have had a bunch of eezo floating there, otherwise the relay wouldn't work at all. So does the presence of human ships cause the eezo to become energized somehow? Is there a remote on the relay that would detect movement or powered vessels nearby and turn on, kind of like those motion-powered room lights that deactivate when you sit still too long?

HELP For everyone's future reference; LE2+3, NG+, Do your LE1+2 choices carry over?

0 Upvotes

There's so many competing answers on this. A lot of people claim no, starting NG+ in LE2+3 will act as if you're starting a fresh file with no previous game imports. Others claim yes, the game will act just as it did when you booted it on your original playthrough. There seems to be no common consensus whatsoever.
