Martin Sheen as the leader of Cerberus uses his genetic tampering...
... as the illusive woman, and with Shepard they decide to end all that tension right there.

Looking at some of the posts I think I have an idea. the other one, no freaking clueDiablohead

I don't even really have that much of a problem with the first one. I think it's kind of dumb but it's easily explainable
The second character we kind of already knew about since I think they leaked it on a preorder page a long time ago. But the character itself is so unbelievably stupid and makes no sense in the overall series story that it just fills me with anger at modern Bioware. They're such a horrible company now.
An AI could take over any robot body, so it's whatever to me

Believe it or not some of us don't like the ME series for the female characters.

Do we really need spoiler tags in this thread? I mean, the entire thread is about the spoilers.
Anyway
looks kinda cool but... the other one... really? Are they trying to appeal to the
lovers?
Anyway

Remember how incredible it was exploring the Citadel and the Wards below in Mass Effect for the first time? It was a wonderfully realized locale filled with tons of interesting things to do.
Remember exploring the Citadel in Mass Effect 2? It was two rooms. LOL.
There's no reason any moderator on this board should stop themselves from participating in any discussion unless they think the discussion is inappropriate for the board (at which point they'd be closing the thread since they're a moderator).
While there's definitely plenty of honest and valid complaints about both games to be made, but that doesn't mean he isn't right that just about every Mass Effect thread for... I don't know, at least a year has been much of anything but a storm of shitposting, either.
Reaper hits the Citadel, hundreds of ships destoyed, lives lost, etc. Shepard fights Saren.
Reaper hits Earth, send Shepard, our hero, destroyer of Reaper fetuses.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
It's a gross generalisation because you chose, incorrectly at that, to interpret as such. If you took the time to read my own posts and discussions about the series, particularly the critical ones, you'll find I've got my own issues with BioWare's chosen direction with the franchise. In fact, you'll find some of them in this thread.
But I'm not going to pander to the hilarious hyperbole that shits up every Mass Effect related thread. People claiming that they're now cancelling their pre-order, or no longer intending to get the game at launch, because of these two characters, are either liars, or were never interested in the series to begin with, and in either case are simply posting to, as usual, stir the pot and make it clear they don't want the game.
EDIT: And see we're already back to discussing how the series is now all about dudebro murder. Next up reminiscing the Mako, and overheating vs ammunition.
I sure hope the in-game model differ significantly from the art. I hated Vega's game informer reveal but after seeing the ingame model I was kinda ok with him.
Well duh we know why
edi can be in a robot body (I guess you can fit a blue box in there? is it remote controled? what happens if there is interference?) but it so silly. Especially over having a cutting edge spaceship as a body.

They'll make you buy DLC for that.

the face Joker had in that pic is pretty hilarious.
Who was doing this in the thread though?
lmao
I don't think anyone is. Personally I'll be buying the game day one and playing it to completion, which will serve both as the conclusion of the trilogy and the end of my tenure as a Bioware customer.
See the post I quoted. They don't say exactly this but still show his point.
You will be back. They always come back
Nope. I was once the biggest Metal Gear fan out there and I successfully quit that series. Quitting Bioware will be a breeze.

Heck, I'm still hyped for the game. I'll just try and leave at least one of these two characters by the wayside if I don't like the way their stories go.
But dammit, I'm hoping BioWare can make me feel like I'm standing at that console in Virmire again. I want to feel actual dread. ME2 tried this with Arrival, and while I liked that final moment where you're staring down evil itself, it was far too brief.
Yes, that was one of the standout moments in gaming.
I'd love to see a game that took place during the Prothean/Reaper war, that would be epic.
Also, I'm really upset here, hitting my head against the monitor as I write.
nope get overlord

Not upset, but frustrated at the incessant derailing of every Mass Effect topic into the same debates regardless of what the actual topic is.
It's funny, but they've actually served as pretty decent encouragement for keeping my ME3 blackout, as I loath having to endure the threads.
Did you look?
I'm sorry mate but that's just rubbish. I am a huge fan of the first two games and was ready and willing to get this day one, all until the recent story leaks. Some of those plot points combined with the two characters in the OP are almost offensively bad... I'm just not willing to spend the money and play this game anymore, it's as simple as that.
Hell, I even tolerate Vega!

Probably impossible unless they take it to a universal scale and even then, it would essentially be a retread. I would like if they went to a smaller scale, focus more on characters and interactions rather than worrying about the big bad coming to fuck up your day. The universe has a lot of potential, even if it has arguably been mishandled so far.

In my case, this is just the final nail in the coffin when it comes to not getting the game at launch. A few months ago this was a no-brainer decision but leaks and recent marketing have really eroded my confidence in the product, and this is something I've criticised in other ME3 threads.
Still, it's easy to see how others might misinterpret that. If you'd prefer, read "I think this is a bad idea and in conjunction with other released information has finally caused me to decide not to get the game at launch."
I admit I've been critical of the series from the first but I wouldnt have played through both if I didnt like something.
This is a defensive generalization.

First one doesn't bother me that much actually....
The story of the second game, and just the general direction of the franchise, is for me, beyond the point where I'm going to get caught up on the large, overarching, story details. I honestly just hope for some small, character centric, nuanced things to be in the game, and for them to be good. If the character is good, I really won't care.
Regarding the second one...
I want this too....for like every single game ever, lol.
They won't do it. Game developers at the large studios seem to be incapable of nuance.
the geth already transfer between different platforms, so it makes sense that EDI can do it to.

He may be "mid term", but it also wouldn't surprise me if it was a retcon. Wouldn't be the first time actually. The Batarians were originally different looking, the codex entry was replaced when Bring down the sky came out and showed what they "really" look like.
Another thought...wouldn't it make sense that there were different species of Prothean? Maybe the squid things on Ilos are a different species than the ones that the collectors were based off of?
Actually, now that I think about it...I actually like this idea. It makes sense that there should have been different prothean species....the same way the current galaxy has many different species.
And they already made the point in the second game that only one species is truly worthy of become a....giant terminator lol. Maybe the collector race was enslaved, while the squid face race was made into machine or whatever the hell.
No idea if Bioware will take this route, or if they even think about these sort of details.
Like I said with EDI though, I'll take a well written character over anything.

Wrong company, haha.
We NEED that C-Sec game featuring Thane, Garrus and Shepard. Taking down bad guys.
Cannot unsee
I'm totally down, minus Shepard. After this game, I'm ready for Bioware to retire her. I would absolutely love a smaller scale Mass Effect game (with a self-contained story) that isn't all about saving the universe from destruction or whatever.
