  @TwoGhostPixels No one changed Dragon Age or Mass Effect, dumbass. Stop making problems up in your head to get mad at.

  @AMWorley_Writer @drowwpoison @kalaelizabeth It makes more sense when you look at Mass Effect 3's multiplayer as the reason why EA wanted to get so heavily into loot boxes and live service in the first place, it was wildly successful where Inquisition's multiplayer failed and they were chasing that high ever since

  @wulfeart @art_rube So... they are doing this to approach a new audience, and some of the core Halo fans like this armors and weapon designs, and other single player games like Doom Eternal, Mass Effect or even Lego Batman did the same and are very good games so... whats the issue?

  Most of this looks incredible, but the faces are somehow worse than Mass Effect Andromeda. Please fix @fable!

  @femshep_com @nib95_ But you are talking about a particular case (female Shepard). I'm talking in general. Totally different things. Just because few people had issues with it (Mass Effect case), doesn't mean that there's a general hate towards female protags, because there is not.

  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.

  i was super exited to have a chance to meet mass effect cast but now all i wish for this con is to fail tbh, creating an extremely unsafe and uncomfortable space for fans and pretending the problem doesn't exist is so ******* disgusting

  🔬 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.

  I know mass effect 3 has a glitch where shepard and steve's romantic and regular dialogue gets mixed up sometimes but everytime it happens i still get jumpscared a little😭

  I just beat Mass Effect 3 for the first time and I am broken. I have synthesized the galaxy and ensured peace forever but no Shepard makes me sad. Best story in gaming I have played.

  @kachi_uchay @olusesan__tolu I don’t see the issue. TLOU left behind told us how she discovered she was immune. The Witcher 3 blood and wine did send-off for Geralt. Mass effect 3 expanded upon shepherd. Plus the dlc was Free

  @kennyistyping idk there's like a mass effect issue also lens had somewhat the right idea of being just a backend but when you are so open ended curation gets hard and even moreso when you have adversarial usage. i think it takes something really paradigmic to get you off of that.

  @Pirat_Nation Once again modders will fix what the devs try to wreck with these games. Just like when the modders brought back the Miranda buttshot in Mass effect legendary edition. Although that game was far less ****** with than Halo appears to be.

  It's pretty baffling how the Mass Effect team was so scared of mlm relationships. At least there's mods that fix that injustice.

  @AshenOne_VI Biggest issue the game has? It turned Dragon Age into Mass Effect. Thats not what the game was for 3 games, why change it on a 4th?

  Strokavich Okametal (ストロキャビッチ） (@Strokavich) reported 33 minutes ago

  @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.

  @KenteMana @SwervoT3k @bioware the problem with DAO getting a remaster/remake IIRC is that there is almost nobody left at BioWare who knows how the game engine runs, so a remaster is almost impossible, and a remake is unlikely until at least Mass Effect 5 gets out the door just b/c of resource priority

  @AndorianRespect You mean, after the end of Mass Effect 1? The problems with ME3 are a direct result of ME2.

  Something that always puts me off Mass Effect Andromeda during a replay are the returning Aliens, they are really awful. But what I mean by that is how they were redesigned, and animated. Ill explain what those issues are...

  @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.

  @army1325air So, make us kinda like a lite version of the Turians, I got it. I don't disagree, in fact I'm with you. I'm just worried about degrading the value of everyone's service. @grok mind explaining who and what I'm referring to when I mentioned the Turians from Mass Effect?

  @CDRJohnShepard Netcode is a lot more stable so the mod won't crash as much as reach did. Community made shaders allow for PBR support. Levels also don't have to be sealed in Halo 4 so I can port mass effect maps pretty fast (Did this one in a couple days).

  Knight(Fate)1029384756 (@Knight10293847) reported 55 minutes ago

  My first gut instinct is to agree because yeah. Mass Effect doesn't need a canon ending and it should by all means respect what the players have done and explore those consequences to their natural conclusions. What the rachni choice should have been is exactly that. If you killed the rachni they shouldn't have showed up at all in ME3. Imagine hearing from a friend who killed the rachni and them saying "I didn't get that mission. Like I saw Grunt and we fought Reapers but the rachni didn't exist in my game. I killed them." And just being struck by how that decision not only makes the renegade choice correct (in a way) but also such a vast difference. An entire enemy type and race just doesn't have influence at all in the game. But that didn't happen. What happened is the rachni game back regardless and the only difference was if you paragon'd you paragon'd again to get war assets. If you renegaded you renegaded again to not loss war assets. Something that does have an effect but its not what the player expects on a bare bones basic or even what they wildly might think. And that is the issue with the ending choices of Mass Effect. The promise such divergent stories that can't simply be crunched into a similar path. There will just be fundamentally different conflicts and issues with each one of them. This video does suggest they just do what Mass Effect has always done but that is accepting a comprise instead of expecting what it should natural be. Not having different assignments to show that "Hey there are differences?" But genuine world differences. Synthesis is described where conflict isn't really a factor anymore. Where everyone knows what its like to be someone else. That story, that exploration of the themes would result in a much less action oriented game and more something like Disco Elysium where the central conversation is about what this life is like. Control is likewise a very different kind of conflict where smaller scale wars could happen. But galactic conflicts just won't exist. Something like a Krogan Civil War is just unlikely to happen with a Shepard controlling the Reapers. Where they could easily stomp down on any major conflict. And not only that but things like diseases, medically issues and similar things would nearly be erased. Maybe there is a story where Shepard becomes a tyrant and rules over organics as an AI god but I don't think many could see their Shepard doing that and I don't think BioWare could see Shepard doing that. Destroy likewise would just be about reconnecting the galaxy together and would be the one most similar to the setting before the Crucible. And all of this isn't even accounting for honoring other player choices. I mentioned it a bit with the Krogan Civil War hinted at in a N7 teaser but there is literally no way a Krogan Civil War can realistically exist in a Synthesis ending or a Control Ending. Not in the way the art depicts. Like I can not accept that if the quarians are dead in one playthrough that BioWare just goes. JK they live and the only difference is a mission. No, it should feel like a real loss. Something was fundamentally changed between a version of them living and a version of them dead. Because that is the promise of importing choices. A major decision was made and you will see how that plays out to its fullest. Not half, not a quarter but seeing it realized. The same feeling you get in a D&D session where a major choice you made comes back and makes you realize it would have been different if you made a different choice. I know for a fact that if BioWare does crunch the endings and the only difference is different side quests, I and other fans would be upset. Because that isn't what I wanted. The solution for BioWare is two fold. The hard path and the easy path. The first is they just buckle down make three games and honor the choices made in each game. Not saying Synthesis should be Disco Elysium but Mass Effect but its the one that makes the most sense in my head. But something that fully explores the ramifications of having this union between synthetics and organics. Same with Control and same with Destory. The second path is just canonize an ending. Its the easiest way because they can focus their efforts on story of the game instead of making a game that is literally about showing the player their choices and making the game before 2040. I think they should also canonize the Genophage, and quarian and geth choices because I know for a fact that if they don't it will be real sad seeing the only differences being less krogan, quarians and geth. And this isn't even considering the fact that the Krogan Civil War just won't happen at the scale shown in the artwork if Wreav is in charge, Eve is dead, and the Genophage isn't cured. Sorry but the krogan would just die out. Because the expectation of that combination of choices would be the krogan's extinction. Its how the games have framed it since the beginning and to alter that would introduce internal inconsistency. I hope this shows why this will be so difficult for BioWare but also why literally no other RPG studio has done it to this scale. What BioWare did with ME1 to 3 and DAO to DAI is astounding. Truly more than what I have seen. Because CDPR fumbled that and gave up with Witcher 3. Small example being Thaler is alive no matter what. And big example is that the dragon state you helped create alongside helping the Scoia'tael in the prior games just does nothing. No mention of it and not even the bare bones of them coming to help Geralt at Kaer Morhen. Obsidian did it fine enough but they just didn't do that with Outer Worlds 2 and Avowed. Larian? What about Larian? Larian has set each of their Divinity games 100s of years apart from each other just so they don't have to address it and on top of that they just are inconsistent. Only caring recently because they made it bigger. And don't even get me started with BG3. I know Wizards has already canonized events but what was with Viconia and Saervok? Just random guys with their names attached. Not even canonized endings just completely different people. Casey Hudson did an interview with Game Informer about this and he is right when he says this has to be planned out. So, many of these companions did these as features because BioWare did it because BioWare controlled what was supposed to be in an RPG. But as that feature waned without BioWare pushing it these other developers slowly removed it. Because its ******* hard to do. Great rewards if done right. A true feeling of your character existing in the world and having an effect long after it happened but a mountainous path it is. Again I want the hard path. BioWare. I'll wait man. Make three games and honor the choices of each of them. But as this video says its also about the money. And there isn't any reality where EA goes "Yeah, we can about 5 years with each release and for each of those games to be very different. Go head."

  it sounds so silly to wonder if I should get final fantasy 7 or mass effect andromeda lmao but I’m curious on how the mass effect franchise changed and the problems people had with it myself! I could always watched a review for it but it wouldn’t be the same yk?
