Now we need a mod where the camera is always fixed directly on Miranda's butt during dialogue - just for fun. :cool:

There are two butt-restoration mods. The mod linked above contains a surprise, but more closely replicates the angle. The other doesn't include a surprise but it just lowers the camera during that scene.

BEWARE: FART NOISE SFX IN THIS MOD

Use the other guy's.

Beware. This modder put fart noises on the butt shot camera angles. Its a troll mod.

Lol these smooth brained clowns in the comment section I swear. They act as if they were forced at gunpoint to download the mod or something. Just ignore the mod if you don't like it like damn is that really so challenging lmao.

Edit: Never mind carry on with the slander he added fart noises and left no disclaimer.

:troll:

Lmaooo some people just have too much time on their hands. Are there any actual consequences for a modder who uploads troll mods like that?

Credit where credit is due, this was masterful trolling. You have to hand it to the guy, and I'm sure all the news sites who linked to the troll mod just did it by accident and totally weren't tipped off by the modder

I finished the first Mass Effect yesterday, playing Legendary Edition. I liked it, time well spent. It's not good enough to fit into top 10 RPG ever, but top 20, maybe? Definitely does more things right that wrong, and LE removed this clunkyness that was annoying in the base game. The only bad part was probably including UNC DLC, some of those missions felt like an Ubisoft game. Strongest part of the game was probably companions, and playing as Adept was fun - pretty nice to see even the strongest enemies floating helpless in the air above you via Lift or Singularity.

On the negative side, I started playing ME2 now, and first impressions are not great. It seems it's no longer an RPG, more like a regular shooter with some upgrades, which sucks. Also, the game is definitely showing the signs of being 'modern' - suddenly you have a heroic black companion early, plenty of women engineers who are very smart and talented, and of course very confident and powerful woman in power (Aria). Guess those were the early signs of Bioware decline. Surprising it happened so quickly, the original was from 2007, while ME2 is 2010. Still, will try some more, maybe it won't be so bad. Just need to check if I can kill this Aria bitch somehow.

The problem with Aria is that she doesn't act like a strong and intelligent woman who has clawed her way up to the top of a ruthless criminal underworld. She acts like some dumb brute who just goes out of their way to piss people off. It's so typical of the "feminism" of the last decade or so that instead of actually writing a strong female character, they wrote someone who acts like a retarded low-level gangbanger doing a life sentence in San Quentin.

She's enjoying herself in ME2, her clawing is long gone I thought that much was clear. In her DLC however she's focused, reasonable and even flexible for paragon pussies. Nah, I don't smell any femcrap insertion in her, had more trouble beleiving in sudden Liara>cynical mastermind transition.

Maybe, but I still found it grating. It would have been more appropriate in the first game when Shepard is pretty much a nobody. But after I've saved the galaxy and joined some wacko terrorist group, I expect to be treated with more respect. It's also totally out of sync with the mechanics of the game where I'm a one-man death machine. And you've got renegade options to show up other characters in other parts of the game so it makes no sense that Shepard has to be so submissive with her.

The size of her DLC mission is also a misuse of resources. Someone on the team thought she was the best.

Thinking about this more, I realize who she really reminds me of is Martin Sheen. Two characters where you were expected to be totally blown away by just how cool they are and not think about how they don't really make sense and there's no reason to actually work with them.

My team has the sexiest and deadliest waifus you can recruit.
I think it's less feminist agenda, and more just writers being taken with their own creation and wanting to give her a 'hero moment' (at the cost of player agency) so everyone else would see how very cool she was. You definitely run into that from time to time with RPGs (and a lot in JRPGs, imo), where suddenly everything is more about some random NPC or character the writer fell in love with than it is the player and the actual narrative. Feels like the onus is on the director to sniff out those moments and prune them, but pet characters are definitely a problem in pretty much any brand of fiction (albeit admittedly more of one in games, where again... player agency should matter).
