  @shinobi602 No problem for me. I personally prefer the default character and the thing that bothered me the most in Mass Effect was that you couldn't change some things about default Shepard like hair, beard and Tattoos/Makeup

  Nothing's set in stone yet on how Saudi management will affect EA but they're more interested in live service and sports titles. I expect Bioware to get sold off. I've seen people speculate Mass Effect and Dragon Age will individually be sold, but I doubt it.

  🔬 The Two Big Categories Functional (Hormone-Secreting) These are the ones that really wreak havoc. They pump out excess hormone regardless of what the body actually needs: Type Hormone Excess Prevalence Prolactinoma Prolactin ~40% of all pituitary adenomas GH-secreting Growth Hormone Causes acromegaly in adults ACTH-secreting ACTH → Cortisol Cushing's disease TSH-secreting TSH → Thyroid hormone Rare Non-Functional These don't secrete excess hormone but cause problems through mass effect — compressing surrounding structures, disrupting normal pituitary function by crowding out healthy tissue.

  @HossMatch Mass Effect has a good fix to this. Everyone is just using a universal translator that converts their language into the language that race understands. It also has some interesting oversights as well, like how the Elcor don't actually use a verbal language, but rely on body language and pheromones, so the translator makes them sound monotone with no emotion or inflections at all. Then there are some words that don't get translated as they don't have a comparison or the translation would be a whole sentence for a word or something, like when Tali says Keelah se'lai.

  @lssjxeno @SabamonsterSR 1. SBI is a bunch of angry feminists, not gamers. They entred a predomenantly male-centric industry loved by both men and women, and started lecturing fans on feminism, race, and diversity. Literally every came connected to their direct influence is a financial disaster. Fans aren't jumping at every opportunity to slur, trash, and cheer the financial flops of ethnic stories/characters. Evidence? From major supporting cast like Barret (FF7), Dudley (SF), or leading cast Spawn (SNES), Jacob (Mass Effect), Shadow Man (PS1) and +10M resounding success of AC: Origins proves majority of gaming nerds are receptive and open minded people who root for good games. Race isn't the issue, quality always is.

  @ChShersh Survivorship bias may be at work here, you probably don't play or think about the completely broken games. (Remember that one Mass Effect game?) Also, games are art and what is considered broken or not is fuzzy, often when there are bugs they become part of the game because they are fun.

  @nuhre_ From what I saw the problem is they have Mass Effect Andromeda level writing, with characters that won't STFU in combat always having a quirky statement.

  @Grummz No. Anthem should have never happened as conceived. If it was a single player game with some multiplayer attached on, sure. They wanted live service and it was not built for that. They sacrificed Mass Effect for this game.

  @GethLegionN7 @SteffanPatrik I have a hard time with that argument because, technically, whenever people ask fans what their problem with the quarians is, it’s usually just the decisions made by the Quarian Admirals. But Mass Effect 2 shows plenty of quarians who are peaceful and don’t want a war. Yet people still want to send the entire quarian to hell because of the actions of two or three admirals.

  @sasajuric By careful selection of dependencies that are battle tested and have well defined APIs that have already figured those things out. I build healthcare apps, so FHIR + Material UI + Meteor + D3 gave us a huge amount of API surface area for the LLMs to work with. Now then, there is a needed critical-mass effect for it to work. Things didn’t get really good until 250K lines of code; and we started with a tech stack that we had sorted out a lot of problems over the past decade. So, I wouldn’t say we *never* look at the code. Just that it’s possible to hit critical mass, where there’s enough source materials and enough rules, that the most modern models can start self-assembling code according to spec, and… it’s as good or better than anything I would write by hand.

  The problem with halo after odst and legends, is that they took it into a direction that worked against it’s strength by making it more like mass effect(which already failed on it’s promise) and super lore reliant, when they already had a good setting as is, thus losing everyone.

  @J0hnADouglas They seem content to move forward with more trash like Rings of Power and Fallout than an actual well written show made by passionate creators. Well, this confirms my suspicion that God of War and Mass Effect are in serious trouble.

  @Pirat_Nation If they can so easily identify problems then apparently the dev ain't so grand either. No one attached to any level of decision making in the era of Mass Effect Andromeda / Anthem should ever be allowed to criticize game players. 2 platinum level franchise opportunities completely fumbled.

  @darkmagas @Pirat_Nation There is no easy way to say this back. Been there, done that, still ended up back on Console as many others I've known over the years have. PC isn't some blissful oasis. Some nice things about it, but its also just chaos on that platform. How many chat clients do I really need? Is it going to be the GPU drivers or a shotty CPU or Bad RAM that takes me out of the experience next? Why is consistency such a problem for PC? Great I have a large catalog of old games, but that doesn't change the fact that I to have a catalog of old console games. I still game on PC now and again. Love my Steamdeck, but I'm looking forward to a portable PS6 more than I am looking forward to the next steamdeck. Valve has done nothing for their achievements and switch to a Microsoft space is not really acceptable to me as I'm looking for Linux gaming, not windows gaming. Epic..... ya no... GoG great in concept, but not in practice. Then there is the 3rd parties that seem to think launchers in launchers was a good idea. Still annoyed that I can't play Mass Effect Legendary Edition without first being connected to the internet. Just let me play my damned game.

  @kalaelizabeth I don't want to call them "woke" because thats not the right word and its become a sledgehammer like so many others. Mass Effect and Dragon Age always had societal themes and engaged with social issues ahead of their time (Dragon Age got gay marriage before the U.S.A)

  The Wise Investor 🧠 (@TheWiseIC) reported 46 minutes ago

  Interesting take by Serenity - I somewhat agree. We are still very far away from this, however. Let me explain. Autonomous vehicles are already showcasing that even though they do 95-99% of driving tasks just as well, if not better, than humans, there are still those 1% edge cases that make or break the value added by autonomy. That’s because the margin of error is literally 0%, which results in passengers being fine or being crushed/impaled by a software glitch or blind spot. Humanoids will be no different. General purpose robots will likely take mass effect by the end of this decade and handle 95-99% of general labour use cases (warehouse applications), but there will always be edge cases where the cost of using them makes no sense if they can’t perform certain tasks. Lately I’m starting to approach the thesis that an AI singularity is fast coming, but I disagree on the timelines. I do hope the guardrails are in place to prevent the seemingly inevitable collapse of society with robotics.

  @Knights_Path Thinking some more, when the player asks a question you have a problem to solve: The player idle while asking a question looks blank Mass Effect solved it through a close up shot here and there, obscuring the body so you can't see Shepherd's hands Baldur's Gate had transition anims between lines from pose w/ anim to pose w/ anim, which kept the silent protagonist of the dialogue engaging You should choose one of these, or a mix of both, to keep the character from feeling plastic. The speaker need not have this because they are generally receiving queries and questions from the speaker, but stance changes are crucial for the target speaker

  @gielmont This game conflicts me because many parts of it are very well done, but then other parts are just repetitive fetch quests. Mass Effect Andromeda was made using the same engine near the same time, I think, and suffers many of the same problems.

  Evil Villain (@EveryCarpet) reported 53 minutes ago

  @WeAreMassEffect Excellent science-fantasy but not excellent sci-fi. Anything other than Destroy is the Reapers throwing **** at the wall in a last-ditch effort and actually succeeding in deceiving Shephard. Everything 'wrong' with the story of ME3 actually started with ME2 when Bioware catered to Fox in cutting down the ****** alongside killing off and resurrecting Shepherd in the first 5 minutes of the game (!!!). Story of ME2 was ***. The Collectors should have been an arc or plotline but not the entirety of the game. You can 100% have the Systems Alliance send Shepherd out to find more data on the Reapers, who then ends up fighting Batarians, criminals, xenophobes, the Terminus Systems, AND the Collectors. Andromeda actually had insane potential but Bioware ****** up by not hiring me as their lead writer and producer. Fighting the not-Collectors with an Asari archaeologist and Krogan mercenary while trying to save Humanity & Co. is not good enough of a plotline. Cerberus should've sacked the Elusive Man the moment he was indoctrinated. ridiculous. ME4 needs to take place after a Destroy ending where: 1. with the destruction of the Relays, long-distance, immediate FTL travel is impossible. 2. with the general destruction that the Reapers caused-- 99% of all life in the galaxy, essentially, and their corresponding civilizations and industrial base-- ME4 needs to either take place 100-200 years after the events of ME3 or be a survival-horror 'RPG' 3. If ME4 takes place a ~hundred years after the events of ME3, then having the option of being Liara's offspring (and explicitly confirmed if you romanced Liara). if not, then all other species ought to be available 4. the vast majority of Turians and Quarians stuck in the Sol System after the destroy ending would end up starving to death because 5σ of the galaxy's industry and population has been destroyed and they cannot eat 'normal' foodstuffs 4a. the vast majority of Turians and Quarians in any fleet that is not predominantly of their own species ought to starve to death due to the lacking of their specific foodstuffs 4b. the vast majority of the survivors of the Reapers (<1% of galpop) ought to starve, dehydrate, or otherwise die to raiders or other starving, sick people. simply not enough resources to go around in the post-apocalypse 5. if you chose to fix the Genophage, the Krogans have to be THE singular dominant power in what was Citadel space. if not, there should only be one or two total in the entirety of the game as their species goes extinct 5a if the Krogan are led by Wrex, then the Krogan in general would be part of the Citadel's Council alongside Humanity 5b if the Krogan are led by Wreav, then the Krogan in general would not be part of the Citadel, drastically weakening it for the plot of the game alongside granting a quest where you have to 'recruit' the Krogan or at least get them to sign a pact of non-aggression/interference 6. the Egalitarian, Xenophilic polity that would eventually emerge at Sol would become the capital of the New Citadel-- mostly because they have the highest population and the most salvage in their system 7. the enemy for the first non-survival of the post-apocalyptic horror entry in Mass Effect ought to be a resurgent Terminus Systems. they have no ******* idea where the Reapers came from or how to beat them-- only learning that they're tied to Citadel space.

  @GameSpot Guys, who gives a **** about remaster, remake that entire ****, fix the bugs, bring us a new trilogy like Resident Evil, you see how Black Flag Resynced is doing, Ocarina of Time is shaking people. GOOD GAMES deserves GOOD REMAKES, not ****** remasters. Mass Effect is EXCEPTION

  Count of Arcadia (@ArcadiaCourt) reported 58 minutes ago

  @BasedChar_RE The problem for Mass Effect is that the ending to 3 is such an ending that you can’t go forward without addressing it, and Andromeda tried the reasonable concept of avoiding it. However, BioWare screwed it up from story to just making sure the game worked.
