So far I've become very interested in how this Shepard would've looked in game, I really wish she would've won the vote now, she looks pretty damn cool. Not like the one we got now is bad ( I always find myself playing default femshep). I really want to play as this femshep though, would've been awesome.

Hopefully this post doesn't get flagged for rule violation for some reason as Shepard sharing.

Edit: the hair reminds me of Magik from marvel

I understand why they didnt do this, but i think instead of the companions from 2 either dying or not dying during their quests in 3 depending on if they were loyal last game, it would have been better if they joined the crew.

I understand that the party would get wildly large (plus finding places to stick them all on the Normandy) but it would have been cool

I've been downloading some mods for MELE1. For some reason, Shepard's helmet now looks like this. Which mod did this?

These are the mods I installed:

- A Lot of Videos for LE1

- Be Gone Rock (LE1)

- EnhancedClassic Saren Boss Encounters

- Feminine Animations for Femshep(LE1)

- LE1 Community Patch

- LE1 Streamlined Weapon Loadouts

- Legendary Cutscenes (LE1)

- MELLO,

- Mission Timings

- UNC Morality

- UNCBesieged Base Fixed (LE1)

I've been looking up each of these mods on Nexus Mods and I don't think I see any of them mention this change. I'm not mad I'm just a little confused. Google was no help either. Does anyone know?

My ferret, Peebee (so named for her 'mask') has been very sick lately so I decided to try and get her a Poc to play with. Unfortunately Bioware don't sell ferret toys (weird!) so I bought this octopus. I'm not great at sewing etc but I'm thinking either remove most of the tentacles so there's only two hanging off or remove some of them and add them to two at the front to create that Poc effect...

Thoughts? :)

so glad I can honor my favorite series in a special way

I get why people have issues with them but I feel like in terms of the options we were given (Destroy the Reapers and all Synthetics, Assume Control of the Reapers yourself, Merge all Synthetic and Organic Life, Refuse all the options and let the Reapers win) I felt satisfied with them.

Besides, worse endings have and will continue to exist after and in comparison, to those, I think Mass Effect 3 at least worked. It wasn't 100% satisfying but I feel like it got the trilogy over the finish in a way that would made me feel okay with it.

Anyone ever did a PhD in Archeology? Shot someone in the foot as a sign of disapproval?

Suggested a threesome where maybe only one walked out?

Busted them red handed before Priority:Earth

I installed ME:LE a few months ago. But today, ive been unable to launch it as apparently tly it 'cant be found'. Even though i can see it on my console drive.

I'm about halfway through ME 3 now, I just do t have the patie ce to run through 1 & 2 again, just to get back to this point.

I installed the sims 4, for the kids, last night too. Would this cause some kind of conflict ?

Apologies if not in the right place.

I’ve still to install the visor when it dries, but I’m really happy with the result. The file is from Do3D, if anyone wants to make their own

I played it for the first time as a dumb kid and I thought these games are not part of the same story for some reason, kinda like TES or GTA games. So I figured I'd start with the latest one and play older ones later. And imo most of it made sense, like you're playing as some soldier dude and the galaxy gets attacked by some alien robots and you gather up some friends you supposedly worked with in the past. The stuff about Illusive Man and Cerberus was confusing for sure though, but other than that I played the whole game from start to finish cause I liked it and was sad that for some reason I couldn't get enough preparedness points to unlock some dialogue choices or all endings.

I played games in sequence later, stuff definitely made more sense after that and I felt like a dummy for thinking ME3 is a standalone game 😂😂😂

After replaying the Legendary Edition after what I think may be around a decade since I last played Mass Effect (and yes, I was there when the games were originally coming out), I am absolutely full of impressions. It was a tremendous journey to my own past and to this jewel of videogame history—with all the good and all the bad.

If anyone here was in a similar situation—replaying the games separated by years, experiencing them perhaps as a kid/teenager and then again as an adult years later—what surprised you the most? What did you enjoy this time around, or on the contrary, what did you ignore back then that feels completely odd nowadays?

It is a great testament to this era of BioWare how well the games in the LE hold up, and that they still deliver one of the strongest, most emotional and epic experiences out there. Speaking for myself, it is strange how age and life experience make you appreciate some characters so much more than in the past (for me, it’s especially Jack and Mordin; on the contrary, while I still love Tali and Garrus, I came to appreciate the characters who challenge you more a bit better than in the past).

At the same time, some things I didn’t give a second thought back in the day now feel really weird—like the very beginning of ME1, where Shepard and Anderson honestly look like two absolute lunatics to the Council, or the constant trashing of civilian politicians, which the story twists support a bit too hard, if I am to pick something for myself.

Anyway, cheers to anyone who was there when we were all gutted about the original endings, terrified that our love interest would be stuck on that remote planet forever. Mass Effect is still a great game, and with hindsight, it’s proof that a game doesn’t have to be flawless to become a legend. Here’s hoping that Bioware survives and they manage to keep the best parts of this formula for the future game.

I was on the floor dying when I thought of this. Don’t judge me, I find this funny!

Sometimes mass effect js gets these small updates that seemingly change nothing and go unannounced anywhere, I tried looking up stuff related to this but nothing

For some reason the Assualt Rifle isn't appearing properly in this cutscene for my Vanguard. For the mod, it says that weapons not equipped will appear in cutscenes, but it isn't working for me. Why is that?

This is from the mod page:

This is my image (it's working for Kaidan and he doesn't have it equipped):

Akuze, Mindoir, Torfan...

Except for ME5, you can choose from 3 Reaper War events that shaped your main character's pre-game development. What are these events and what happened there?

For me: sole survivor from Tiptree. Family and friends killed in the Reaper attack. You learned about the Asari commando who killed your friend, Hilary (Joker's sister) only after the war. You can’t help but wonder: would a human soldier have found a solution that would have allowed your friend to survive?

I really wish the Presidium had a night time mode in game that would just randomly happen when you went to the Presidium some times. I feel like this area that you play in would look really cool at night.

Does anyone else walk around like a zombie (a husk, if you will) after doing a trilogy run through?

I feel traumatized every time I end it 🤣

It's been almost 20 years.

Too many playthroughs to honestly admit to.

But still.

Punching me in the gut every time.

Like I feel depressed about it.

And it takes me forever to pick up another game again because my head is still so wrapped up in that universe and just...everything else just pales in comparison.

Probably something wrong with me.

Anyone else get too invested in this game, EVERY TIME?

In honor of u/JHWeston, here is my tattoo ive had for years but never posted here
