Mass Effect Legendary Edition remaster trilogy

I'd say bioware doesn't understand their audience, but the truth is that they've alienated people who used to be their audience and are now pandering to a much smaller overall market
interesting strategy

Bioware always had a pretty large audience of people so desperate for human affection / into "shipping" that they think romances is a super important part of an rpg. They definitely embraced it to the detriment of everything else for some of their games though.

Also to add to this I would rewrite Cerberus from a incompetent terrorist cell into a actual clandestine organisation founded by the Aliance Navy. With the twist that it was created in absolute secrecy right after establishing contact with the Council as a sort of last fail safe against a alien takeover.

So basically Section 21 from Star Trek: DS9 then?

That's what I thought they were to begin with. This idea that they were terrorists or whatever was retardation from ME3, I thought.

These aliens are so non human it's creepy. At least the Asari are basically blue humans without hair.

The.... drell? (I kinda hate that I know that) are basically green humans with slightly weird head shapes and fuckhueg eyes. It's not like they're floating squid things or whatever the "disappointed noise: *sigh*" things are called (elcor?).

ME1 had all the cool aliens, they basically disappeared after they stopped caring about making an interesting universe.
Early ME1 citadel is one of my favorite areas in any game tbh.

Which ones? I think the main alien races are the best (Krogan, Turian, Salarian, Asari.) Obviously they put the most time into them. The Elcor and Hanhar come to mind but I can't think of others who faded away.

Too bad they used the actual alien designs for jokes and nothing else, even back in ME1.

This post reminds of the discussions on the generic forums that I was a part of 20 years ago.

Plenty of duds in what was ultimately a dud series, but Garrus was a top lad with a great story arc in the first two games.

And Mordin was brilliant. Absolutely likeable but ruthless character.

Wrex was cool in the first game too.

 

[GhostCow]

Wrex was cool until he became a feminist.

 

[dukeofwoodberry]

Pretty much with the consensus here that Wrex, Morin, Garrus were my favorites followed by Legion and Grunt. I don't like to think about 3 and what they did with the characters. Horrible game and writing.

Funny no one really likes the female characters.

reminder that Tali did exactly what Ashley accused her of

Even things like e.g., Ashley/Engineer guy/Pressly suspecting Tali of espionage were... completely well-founded. Ever wonder how the Quarian ships got their stealth-tech that's similar to the Normandy?

 

[jackofshadows]

She traded her ass for that. She's no mere spy.

Who are the best characters in Mass Effect and why are they Ashley and Jack?

 

[Heroic Liberator]

Miranda > all. Too bad that BioWare didn't go for the blonde chick concept art for her.
