Jack's a severely traumatized human biotic.
And Javik's the last Prothean (turns out the only thing that messed up the storehouse on Ilos was running out of juice because the place hadn't been designed for long-term storage. Javik's the survivor out of a damaged long-term failsafe factility).
And the squidface statues on Ilos were of a race that predates the protheans.

He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

Alright, I wussed out and dropped the difficulty level after the second or third time I died in less than three seconds fighting Benezia. And had severe trouble with Rachni. I figured it out though, the armor I'm relying on has very high shields and fuckall else. So attacks the ignore shields or are biotic related tend to chew me up.
Haven't found any medium colossus armor for humans yet, haven't found any of the shield armor I'm wearing (Predator LM? Something like that) past Mark 6. It's sad when the light armor wearers have twice the armor as my medium armor shepherd.

At you level...I swear, hit all the stores. Something's got to fall out eventually.

I've gotten Colossus/Berzerker X for everyone but shepherd, Savant X tools and amps for everyone, except I haven't had a decent set of medium human armor drop/show up in inventory for a long time. And I had already asked for light armor from the dude in the DLC. I would have asked for medium if I had known that a second suit of light was going to show up in the requisition inventory three minutes later...
Honestly, I might strip Kaiden and give Shepherd his light armor instead, since it's honestly a lot better.
Also, I can't get the shops to reset. I make a circuit and it seems like the shops never have new stuff unless I do a story mission. Then again, the shops in Noveria, Feros, and the two merchants in The Wards never have gear above mark 7 or 8 anyway, the only good stuff I've gotten is from the Financial District and the officer on the Normandy.

Kaiden is pretty easy on the eyes, I'll give you that. But personality is more important, and Garrus has the most attractive personality out of the ME1 crew. Although Tali grew on me a bit after using her more, I just thought her opinions on the Quarian and the Geth sounded kind of baggy, of the douche variety. Other than that, she's kind of sweet.

It's practically an article of the faith that all geth are out to get the quarians.
This is not true. She softens up on that.

I wish I spoke Russian now. I heard that the Russian version of Mass Effect has such shitty translation that the story no longer makes any damn sense, even to the point of randomly changing the personalities of different characters.

The Geth story is a bit complicated. It is the one thing that Tali is unreasonably angry about for a while, but she calms down later. However, every Geth you encounter in ME1 is an asshole. Shoot them in the head.

Someone's making a riot simulator computer game. Looks kinda interesting.

The Geth story is kind as badly written, really. At the very least there should have been Quarians living on Rannoch all this time, left over from the Morning War. It's kind of difficult to exterminate a population of billions, even when all of their labor-saving droids turn on them. For that matter, it shouldn't have happened at all because no civilization is going to destroy it's own economy by shutting down all its robots at once.name_here wrote:The Geth story is a bit complicated.

Well, no. At least, on my playthrough she got over her trauma by shooting the shit out of a ton of stuff and blowing up a building.
And still the other way around.
Honestly, ME3 has given me months of entertainment during a dry spell when I didn't have a D&D game to play in.
The build possibilities and the availability of tricks, and how armor or shields or whatever no longer mean "Lol no" to all of the powers has kept my inner D&D Optimized busy with something to chew on.

The trope of "curing rape trauma with penis, lots and lots of penis" squicks me the hell out. I have done no research but I don't think that's how it works.
Also women suffering from rape trauma tend to be erratic and prone to taking extreme vengeance for minor slights. It is easy to understand why someone who feels powerless would do that, I am not passing judgement.

The new multiplayer DLC is out.
At least this one has the decency to include one of the new characters as a freebie.
So far: Playing as a Geth Prime/Juggernaut is sorta fun, but being so slow...It definitely has its drawbacks.
I haven't tried the new vanguard--the female turian--so that's my next move.

Finally got that last bit of colossus armor for Shepherd. I beat Pinnacle Station and just spammed the 220,000 credit order, and damned if it didn't take me almost 8 million credits for it to drop.
Also, the geth pule rifles: are they worth anything? They're not as good as the spectre assault rifles, and they can't be modded. Do they have an actual use, or are they just there?

They're just there for the cool.
The one you find in ME2 is pretty nice, though. Big clip, nice accuracy and rate of fire, and has some nice anti-shield ability.
You have to do a mission on hardcore to find it, though.

Peculiar properties of spacetime ensure that the perception of the magnitude of Soon is fluid and dependent, not on an individual's time-reference, but on spatial and cultural location. A marketer generally perceives Soon as a finite, known, yet unspeakable time-interval; to a fan, the interval appears greater, and may in fact approach the infinite, becoming Never. Once the interval has passed, however, a certain time-lensing effect seems to occur, and the time-interval becomes vanishingly small. We therefore see the strange result that the same fragment of spacetime may be observed, in quick succession, as Soon, Never, and All Too Quickly.

Not all that impressed. I will have to see more before making a final judgement. Showing all that combat makes me feel like this a generic rpg instead it being Shadowrun where getting into a gun fight was one of the last things you wanted to get into.Stahlseele wrote:First Alpha Video of the Shadowrun Returns Game

It reminds me a little of Fallout 1, which is a good thing. The way creatures take damage makes me think they stray fairly far from any established set of Shadowrun TT rules though. I will second Leress that this does feel generic.
