AAA is just a bunch of rats in suits counting dollars, there's no talent left in that sector, just passionless greedy corpo cunts.
If we want a good Mass Effect, we'll have to wait for an Indie studio to do it.

If EA had any brains they'd pull the IPs out of Bioware's fumbling hands and diversify their products, like 40k does.

If you haven't played all of the classes, you haven't completed the run anon. I'd go even so far to argue that you'd need to play all nine possible backgrounds, but I haven't done that as well.

>>734137869
Well, the worldbuilding and the various TRPG books won't mean diddly squat if the game itself flops. I can only hope WotC won't fuck it up in the same manner they had with Larian.

All 3 backgrounds, all 3 careers, every class, both genders, and every romance option.
Mass effect is not reactive enough for this but I do like spacer sole survivor vanguard maleshep x liara/tali/tali, and earthborn sole survivor sentinel femshep x Liara/Thane/Traynor

>>734130065
I like that one animation where she fucks a dog from multiple positions, though I wish she had done anal.
>>
>>734138418
Sole survivor is the most blank slate background which I kind of like, but Shep works best in my mind when he has a more personal stake with the Batarians and there’s a lot of missions that seem to count on that.
Colonist ruthless is kino.

Solider is the brain-dead default option best suited for first playthrough, so I don't know whether you'll enjoy it at this point. Though, Solider with Incendiary Explosion ammo and Marksman might be interesting to try out, as you can see from webmrel.

I was always a bit disappointed there wasn't more content for a "perfect' playthrough with her. I know its supposedly because a relatively small amount of players in ME3 would see it, but they added the fucking Samara ending for the ME3 DLC which they KNEW a smaller group of people would qualify for (those who dated Samara in ME2, basically got to the kiss, didn't date anyone else in 2 going forward OR in 3 .)., they could have done it. As I recall, if you don't date Tali in ME2 and finish the romance with her, you can't romance her in ME3 properly. However, you can get back together with Liara or start with her in ME3, despite her having some of the most romantic content with Sheploo throughout all 3 games. My first ME3 playthrough was my Infilitrator Sheploo and
>Romance Liara ME1 > Romance Nobody from the main cast ME2 + Romance/Rekindle Liara at Lair of the Shadow Broker DLC > Romance Liara continued in ME3
I think there should have been some scenes or special stuff you only got if you did all of the above, but some anon said that there actually was some small bit of content that qualified but I guessed I missed the uniqueness of it?
>>
>>734134607
None whatsoever.
>>
>>734136586
I'm rather impressed at what modders were able to do, specifically for Miranda (and to a lesser degree, Jack). For the LE games, go look at the EGM and Spectre Mod by itself, but there's a submod that depends upon them called the Miranda Mod that basically makes her a full time onboard ME3 character! She even has her own EGM special missions, an independent shuttle she'll take when she's out on them, and the mainline missions in ME3 like with her sister are all revamped , she stays in Shep's quarters if romanced etc

This is the most frustrating thing about vidya nowadays. After Gothic 1, you had Gothic 2 released in like a year and a half, with a 3 times larger world.
Baldur's Gate 2? Also a year after the first one.
Thief 2? Within 2 years after the first.
Might and Magic 3, 4, 5 and later 6, 7 and 8 would release year after year.

Now games both big and small take 5 years at the absolute minimum, and often more than 8 years. It's ridiculous.

Total coinflip. It could be absolute trash, or even good. They have so much money and ongoing projects, that the end result depends entirely on who they select to make it.

Assuming asari are even capable of melding with non-sapient species, they don't have to have sex with something to steal its dna and use it to mix up the dna of their offspring. The offspring will be a normal asari.

I mean, nobody gives a shit about N7. It's only important so far as Shepard is concerned. Can there be other N7s? Sure. Does anyone give a shit? No. It's like the Grey Wardens in Dragon Age. If you're not the Warden from Origins, nobody gives a shit. Or, at least, people could have given a shit, if Bioware didn't royally fuck the Wardens up, over and over again. But N7 is literally nothing.Less than nothing, unless it is tied to Shepard.

>>734147481
Andromeda had the sense to take place in another galaxy AND take place hundreds of years later. And even then it still almost killed the IP. Veilugard shit on the setting, lore and characters of the past three games and killed the entire IP for good. So I'd say Veilguard was worse.
>>
>>734147680
All very bad.
But Taash’s coming out is still genuinely one of the worst scenes I’ve ever seen in a video game. Bioware at it’s absolute lowest which is really saying something.
>>
>>734147794
Honestly I felt the same. Outside of the first mission on Mars she barely acknowledges your relationship with her and later on you have to reminder her like three separate times that you are in a relationship. I stuck with it because the only other option available at that point was Ashley who is barely a character in ME3.
>>

Meanwhile Tali suddenly turn into a backstabbing jewish spy in ME2.

ME3 is just anemic. It needed more party members.

>>734147794
Liara always felt like a middle schoolers idea of a relationship
it was hilariously bad how desperate and retarded they made her in 1 then she gets a DLC in 2 and suddenly she does a complete 180 in 3 and she's a space CIA spymaster
just from a writing standpoint she is complete garbage

I have no hopes for ME4. There's no chance it will be good, or even just okay. The series died a decade ago, and there are not even that many people left still caring about it.
>>
>>734148519
More people care for ME than they did for DA, at least. But there's not much you can do with ME. In terms of gameplay, you've done everything before. In terms of story, you dismantled the setting. In terms of characters, you retired one of the best casts in video game history. It's literally over.
>>
>>734148961
DA only had one good game and the series just kept going anyway for some inexplicable reason

They had a direction they were going with DA and lingering threats, but it didn't turn into good sequels, whether they were given dev time or not.

>>734134607

>>734149018
Well, we're in the same boat. There really is no reason to continue ME right now, unless you do it to bring back Shepard and co.

>>734148961
>In terms of characters, you retired one of the best casts in video game history.
This is very sad. A decade passed since ME3 and we somehow went backwards. Companions became worse not better. DA Inquisition, Veilguard, Andromeda, Starfield, Outer Worlds 1 / 2, all have very unlikable cast, that you mostly try to ignore because their presence makes the game worse.
>>
>>734149464
I'm not gonna expect some genius writing, even if we went back to the old cast, but at least I liked them better than I liked any of the retards that followed. If it is even the same level of bad as Andromeda, I can stomach it, if it's people I like.
>>
>>734149458
I have no idea, you said there’s nowhere to go in terms of gameplay and I disagreed with that part.
Narratively I do think 3 is as definitive of a conclusion as it gets and continuing from that point will require a reboot, major retcons, or some mix of the two and is a task I do not believe nu-Bioware is up to without botching everything hilariously.
>>
If Gamble wasn't a hack with a boner for salvaging Andromeda, you would set ME4 a few years after the reaper war. Shepard takes the role of Anderson, guiding you through the entire game. Post war galaxy, realys are damaged, massive power vacuum in the galaxy. Asari and Salarians are hated due to hoarding prothean technology and being limp wristed during the war effort respectively. Humans, Turians and Krogans are the new council. You could make a great game within that timeframe

You have no husks, no other reaper forces, no collectors, technically, there's not even any batarians. They're an endangered species. No Geth either. You're gonna fight Asari, Krogan, Humans and Turians. That's your gameplay. If you're lucky you'll get some new loki mechs, and vorcha.

There’s nothing stopping them from introducing a new extragalactic threat per se, but I couldn’t tell you how to do it in a way that wouldn’t just feel like reapers 2.0.

oh well, maybe an entire different galaxy or some shit with new races, but they really have to step up their designs from Andromeda that shit was uninspired ass

TBD.
>>
>>734149234
The idea behind Andromeda was alright, distance yourself from the aftermath of ME3 as much as possible, but the execution was terrible, godawful really. In better times BioWare could aim for creating something like Stargate Atlantis. It's an easy premise to work with - survivors stranded in alien territory far away from home with no way of going back. A fresh start and a whole new galaxy to explore while still keeping the old lore intact.

In the 2023 N7 Day teaser we got an emergency transmission from Andromeda in 2819. We're not post Reaper invasion. We're way post Reaper invasion.

Andromeda was written like the devs only played the Citadel DLC and only read Young Adult novels. I couldn't take it seriously. Also, frostbite looked like shit.
>>
>>734150150
The point of Andromeda is to open a way back to the Milky Way. I don't know why, but it is. Making the entire point of sidestepping the endings moot.
At this point, it seems like Bioware is taking the most retarded choices available to them, just because they can, or they want them to happen, with no consideration for the setting.
>>
>>734150353
Every Veilguard cutscene I’ve seen is written like a sensitivity training seminar.
I don’t know why it’s so hard for Bioware to find anyone who can write normal human dialogue. AI would probably do a better job of sounding organic.
>>
>>734150017
One thought I just had is that it could go, in very broad strokes, like this:
- X number of years after reapers destroyed
- destroying the reapers in your galaxy destroyed them everywhere
- there is no longer a cleansing force that destroys civilization before it becomes advanced enough to reach other galaxies with ease
- this vacuum without the reapers allowed [insert cool alien empire here] to develop beyond what they would have done with the reapers
- they now seek to expand their empire and suddenly appear in the ME galaxy to fuck shit up
- the MC leads a team of spectres gathering Intel and doing spec ops missions against the invading force

Well, it's not Shepard. Apparently, the N7 program survived past the 2800s. Even heard of a military program outliving the Roman empire? There's a first time for everything, I guess.
2819 is so far away to logically predict, it is insane. Mass Effect was supposed to be grounded. In 2819 we might as well, I dunno, re-clone people out of the excrements of their latest dinner, with full personality quirks and memories.

It does, but Mike denied it being Cerberus.
Maybe Alliance decided that white and blue was worse than black and gold, I don't know. It is definitely supposed to be human, though. Or maybe crippled, leaderless, and broke Cerberus also outlived the Roman empire, not just the N7 program.
>>
>>734130065
Calling her a child seems a bit much. She seems to be at around 18-21 by Asari standards. Old enough that people recognize her as an adult but not old enough that they would trust her with anything important or earnestly care about her opinions.
>>
>>734150498

>>734150353
>Andromeda was written like the devs only played the Citadel DLC
That can be said for a lot of Bioware's writing past ME3. They don't seem to understand that the Citadel shit was earned after three whole games with these characters.

They do have a new writer in Mary DeMarle, but the idea that one writer is gonna make every line a gem is delusional at best.

Unless the Council gets fucking annihilated, regardless of our efforts, but we have no frame of reference for that.

They could go for the 40k route of stuff happening so long ago that people lost the knowledge and understanding of bygone days and instead rely on scraps, old tales and distorted legends. BioWare is too retarded for something like that thou. It will take place 600 years in the future but it will feel like only a decade has passed since ME3 making the time skip completely pointless.
>>
>>734151028

That's a different franchise, though. Like, that's Mad Max, or Fallout. That's Second Collapse Warhammer. It's just not Mass Effect. It is cool as an idea, like the dystopian future of the X-Men, but it is not the mainline setting, and it would radically change the interstellar travel aspect of Mass Effect, and having a ship to go system to system, because we don't even have FTL, meaning also no FTL guns and likely no Biotics either. Not to mention the scarcity of aliens. It's a complete change of setting. It's cool, you can do it, but it just isn't the mainline return of ME that people want, and the franchise needs right now.
>>
Illusive man was wasted.
>>
>>734147481
Absolutely not. Andromeda was just a big disappointment of a spinoff. The writing and characters were terrible, but it was still at least playable, and it had the good sense to sequester itself away as a spinoff so that the main series could continue if it floundered.
Veilguard was offensively bad. Hell, it was more than offensively bad. It took a steaming shit on its predecessors from every angle. It tossed out the lore, themes, design, gameplay, anything it could get its hands on until the only way anyone could tell it was a DA game was by being explicitly told. Furthermore, the diarrhea sludge it caked itself with was so foul that it caused the series itself to subsequently die from sepsis.

You basically keep the names and some vague notion of the alien races, that Bioware will be sure to try and subvert in some way, to basically make a new IP
Like, imagine this N7 comes over from Andromeda to fuck shit up in the Milky Way, only to get her shit pushed in by an entree from the alliance QT3,14 program, that's progressed by 600 years, while she's stuck in 2186 doctrine.

Grunt will definitely be alive. He isn't even 7 months old in ME3 and Krogan can easily live over 1000 years. Isn't Nakmor Drack over 1700 years old?
>>
>>734151765
I mean, Andromeda killed Mass Effect. I know that Veilguard went scorched earth, but so did ME3/Andromeda combined. You can't go to the Milky Way and you can't go to Andromeda. Maybe we'll open a wormhole to the Sombrero galaxy were a bunch of LGBTQ rejects ended up and now it's the adventures of Starfeet Academy season 2. Or 3.
>>
>>734151843
Cerbereus somehow went from fringe Alliance spec ops group going rogue, to massive private entity with billions to spend to private army big enough to invade and occupy planets, and all that in the span of couple of years. BioWare really didn't know what direction they want to take it.
>>
>>734152194
He can die twice in the games. Are Bioware gonna overrule our story in the trilogy and establish a canon? That's not what Mike Gamble said. He can't do that.

death to all faggots that like fat cows like >>734145841

>>734152271
The only path forward is having a massive time skip, like 1000 years to distance yourself from ME3 and Andromeda and try to take the series from there. Pulling it off would require some actual talent in the writing room which I doubt BioWare still has left.

Well, Bioware were fucking idiots for encouraging, and then sitting on that for 14 years now. They can go back on it after all this time, it would be the wise thing to do. It might make them look like idiots for insisting on it for 14 years, but everyone, I think, will be relieved to hear them say it. It's not like we haven't told them about it enough.

I don't know if they can do that without bringing Shepard back. And there is no Shepard in 2819.

For the better I think. For one, BioWare can't shit on him that easily. Secondly, way too many choices would have to be addressed or outright retconned.

Yeah, but I am weirdly picky and puritanical about those kinds of things. I'll be all up for changing the default color scheme of Ajax armor into N7 black or Alliance blue because it makes sense for Shepard to not wear the colors of his enemy (unless they're infiltrating) but porting that model into ME2 or ME1 is out of the question. Personally, I wish they could've stuck with ME1-styled hardsuits throughout the entire trilogy, but it is what it is.

Agreeing with the others. There is no hope whatsoever. EA’s best bed would be to reboot with a new team handpicked to lead the charge featuring all their best animators and writers they have available to reinvigorate the feanchise. I expect it will be extremely middling, with much of the woke shit sanded down to show an extremely barebones shooter with light ROG mechanics and a bumbling story with baffling one-liners throughout.

I predict we will have more fun watching the inevitable dissolution of Bioware than actually playing the turd they squeeze out.
>>
>>734154340
The point of bringing Shepard back, isn't exactly Shepard per se, but rather to interact with the crew. If my options are Insurrectionist Grunt, who I am going to have to kill, and Liara, my Shepard bites the bullet 3 frames in.

>>734154396
Sure, but what are the alternatives? Play some fucking rando that just stumbled into something and is somehow the only person that can do everything? Like Inquisitor, or Rook, or Hawke? Or even worse, some rando that was given a mcguffin and now he can do everything, like Ryder. ME is about playing as Shepard and shooting the shit with Wrex and Garrus. Everyone else is second rate at best. Either Bioware delivers that, or they can enjoy their 1.5 million "engaged" players.

EA won't dissolve Bioware. They will keep Gary McKay as GM, they will fire the ME leads, and keep the rest as a support studio for Sports FC. A fate one could say that's worse than death.

it will never be good. there's no need to hope. no point. AAA game studios don't know how to make games anymore. they dont know who to make them for.

from 2002 to 2015 bethesda made morrowind, oblivion, fallout 3, skyrim, fallout 4 and over a dozen fully fledged expansion packs for those games

between 2001 and 2010 rockstar made 4 GTA games, 2 GTA stories games, and a bunch of DLC for GTA 4, and also read dead 1, bully, the warriors and a few other smaller projects

between 1998 and 2012, bioware developed BG1 and 2, kotor 1, jade empire, neverwinter nights 1, 2 dragon age games and the entire ME trilogy.

its been between 8-12 or more years since any of those studios have developed a note worthy game unless you count note worthy flops.

AAA gaming is dead. they dont know how to make games anymore. or theyre not allowed for some reason. maybe having upcoming games drives investment better than actually releasing them. i dont know. but when they do eventually come out theyre invariably shit

But they won't be. I mean, they've release DA2, SW:ToR, ME3, DA:I, ME:A, Anthem, DA:tV, all had shit casts. You honestly expect me to believe that NOW Bioware will make the good cast. They were saving it for ME:2819.

Do you forget the shitstorm over the sidelining of the ME2 cast in the finale of the trilogy, and the lack of any meaningful interaction, or closure with your ME2 LIs? It's why they had to cancel their DLC plans and make Citadel instead. Because they fucked up so bad. Patrick Weekes said so. He was the one that convinced Casey to give players closure in a DLC that was about the characters, since the game did not. This is famous.

I'll shill for Pillars and Deadfire, about 500 hrs combined across both, and Tyranny is its own tragic little sideshow of missed potential.
But it's Sith Lords and NV cunts can't get over, Pillars is verbose in its worldbuilding & char writing which can be grating if you're not in the mood for it, but if you do want to settle in to a session of balance-man encounters and dry ''gritty'' fantasy its just the thing - Sithlords and NV brought that specific appeal to vastly more prominent IP.

Having both ammo systems (maybe make certain weapons use one or the other, or have modifications you can do that swap the type) would make the most sense to me.

Listen, if it takes you 500 years to not make a relay network, do something else. Like, it's clearly not working. Nobody is waiting 500 years for someone to put up new relays.

The Suicide Mission should have been placed at the tail end of Mass Effect 3. It was the best part of ME2 (and perhaps of the enitre trilogy) and would have been a great way to end things with high stakes. Also the squadmates who could die in a game were pretty much always shafted content-wise afterwards, Garrus and Tali excepted, so no SM in ME2 would have very likely allowed more stuff to do for characters like Jack, Grunt or Mordin. I wanted a Krogan squadmate in ME3.
>>

It was disappointing coming directly from 2.
I love Garrus and Tali and EDI is kind of cool I guess but that’s really about it. No Krogan or Salarian or any other cool aliens was a let down as was having nobody return from 2 to join your team because Bioware wrote themselves into a corner with the suicide mission.

And still better and more memorable than anyone from ME1 not named Wrex. In fact, more memorable than the vast majority of video game characters. Thane, Grunt, Miranda, Samara, Jack, all very recognizable. Not Jacob.
>>
>>734161765
Well, that is a lie. Because if you can include 2 people that can die in the squad, why can you not include the others in the squad? Because Bioware ran out of time and had to rush the game out. We have on-disc data with cut content that put Miranda on the ship. We have Patrick Weekes on the record to cut Jack for Tali, because they didn't have time to do both. Patently, dying wasn't an issue. Time was an issue.
>>
Maybe I'm just autistic but Jacob's ship convos always came across as nonsensical to me. It sounds like two people trying to emulate a conversation. I never get that feeling with any other squadmate.

>>734161663
Everyone can die in the SM (including Shepard if he's the only one alive to run for the Normandy), that said Garrus and Tali received a different treatment and were the only companions to not be thrown into a conrer in ME3.
Even Wrex got completely sidelined after ME1 because he could die on Virmire and it sucks.
>>
>>734161828
Garrus in 1 is alright but his presence in the story basically falls off a cliff after the Citadel and his one quest where you kill the Salarian guy. You’d think he would be more important considering how much they plugged him in all the promo art.
Tali too. Should be your number 1 Geth expert but she basically stops existing after the Citadel.

So you make a game with 3 squadmates? What is the argument here? Like, we already know sidelining the ME2 squadmates went badly. So badly that they had to patch in a dozen things in the game with the EC, and cancel a DLC to do Citadel instead, just so you could get that time with the ME2 cast. Like, it is insane that Bioware would "waste" a DLC just to make content for some characters that are barely in the game, let alone the squad, because they could be dead. That just doesn't happen. It was a bad choice, and Bioware paid for it.

I'm not arguing with you, have a present for the end of another ME thread. You've probably never seen this before

Stuff like this just bums me out man.
Crazy to think there used to be a time when it was still worth being optimistic for anything really.

Shocking.

You say that, but you did argue with me. Garrus and Tali only became popular because of ME2, where they really hit their stride, and Liara because of LotSB and ME3, where she was the only bitch you could fuck, and had more content than any other character in the entire game. Yes, preferential treatment made some characters more memorable. Do you think Miranda would have been less memorable if things were reversed?

>Garrus and Tali only became popular because of ME2
They both were insanely popular in ME1 already, so much so that the devs decided to make both of the romanceable due to massive demand for it.

Nobody played ME1. It was a financial failure and Bioware had to sell themselves to EA. They were going bankrupt thanks to it and Jade Empire. ME2 made ME popular.

I think in Tali’s case her design did a lot of the heavy lifting. She really has no personality beyond being there for optional exposition on Geth lore. After she gives you Saren’s audio file to give to the council she never does anything important again compared to Liara.

Not good numbers. I don't know what to tell you. It is a well known fact that the game was a financial failure, and Bioware was going bankrupt. If it weren't, they wouldn't have sold themselves to EA.

I mean...2 million copies sold by January 08, it's only beaten by Halo and COD that were block busters with 8 and 4 million. ME was made with like a 10th of the budget too
I know you have no idea how any of this works, but Bioware didn't sell themselves to anyone, EA purchased Bioware from Microsoft

Well, I guess they didn't go bankrupt then, nor sold themselves to EA.

I appreciate you copping to your lie. It takes integrity to step away from evil

you should try reading the rest of his post instead of picking out one sentence

>Reality is a lie
Someone is definitely coping.

>>734164224
what was it

>>734164706
It is irrelevant. It didn't hit 2 million copies, that was an estimate, it simply didn't happen. That's all.
