  @pinkkomimi My problem is more I try to play it like Mass Effect and then remember I can't use skills and I have no party members to cover me LOL. I'm getting better at it though thanks to the world quests.

  @wesleytypes @EA They never bothered to fix Andromeda and we never even got that Quarian DLC. If it’s not an immediate monetary success, EA will force the studios to abandon it. Much like Anthem, RIP. I don’t think we’ll get another Mass Effect for another 10 years, and that’s me being hopeful.

  Am i overthinking it, or is it odd that Iran would cyberattack the state that is led by Tim Walz and not a hugely populated one for mass effect, and at the same time we were warned that AI had "broken free"? Prolly just overthinking.

  @Swurv__ Not entirely true. The progression of visuals hasn’t justified the costs. Look at something like Mass Effect. Perfectly fine visuals. Legendary edition fixed the old frame rate issues for being a 360 launch title. I would be fine with more games at that level of detail to get GOOD games

  @harrykahlon16 @nuhre_ A fair point. BioWare Montreal ran into the same trouble with the Frostbite Engine for Mass Effect: Andromeda. But even that game's troubled development (with a team that had never developed a full game) took only 5 years total, with full production being crammed into 18 months.

  During renal transplantation, native nephrectomy (removal of the patient's original kidneys) is typically avoided to minimize surgical risk and retain any residual renal endocrine function or fluid management. However, removal is indicated when the native kidneys pose a direct medical or surgical threat to the patient. Severe, Recurrent, or Refractory Infections: Chronic pyelonephritis or infected cysts (common in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease - ADPKD) that risk systemic sepsis or graft infection while under post-transplant immunosuppression. Massive ***** Size (Mechanical/Surgical Space Issues): Severely enlarged polycystic kidneys (ADPKD) extending down into the iliac fossa that physically prevent surgical placement of the donor kidney or cause severe mass effect (early satiety, respiratory distress, intractable pain). Uncontrolled Severe Hypertension: Intractable hypertension driven by hyperreninemia from ischemic, end-stage native kidneys that fails to respond to maximal medical management. Suspected or Confirmed Malignancy: Presence of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) or high-grade upper tract urothelial carcinoma in the native kidney. Severe Protein Loss: Nephrotic syndrome with persistent, life-threatening severe proteinuria (e.g., focal segmental glomerulosclerosis) leading to refractory edema or thromboembolic risk. Significant Nephrolithiasis or Structural Abnormalities: Severe urolithiasis with high infection risk or conditions causing persistent severe vesicoureteral reflux / hydronephrosis with recurrent sepsis.

  @hg17_daisuki I used to run Veilguard on my old PC it had both an SSD and an HDD and games would lag because Windows was running slowly in the background. Veilguard wasn’t the only issue, though; I was especially into mods, but they took up a lot of space. The mods I downloaded for Mass Effect took up nearly 20 GB in total. Now, since my new system doesn’t have an HDD, I can’t download many mods.

  Why the Dark Energy plot was better. But the issue with that plot line was that it fit for a game that was a sequel to Mass Effect 1. But Mass Effect 3 was a sequel to Mass Effect 2 (which was a soft reboot of the series, not a sequel to Mass Effect 1).

  @GameStalgiaX Playing Mass Effect Legendary Edition... mainly cause I do have to play through ME1. Don't get me wrong I love all 3, just ME1 isn't as refined as ME2 & ME3. Also will defend to my dying breath that the Mako isn't the problem, the terrain design is the problem.

  @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.

  @DestinLegarie As someone who doesn’t like FPS,I love Gears, mass effect etc. I like the witcher and not skyrim or oblivion and I like gta. Many ppl are like this. I like halo’s history and doom’s gore and looks, but can’t stomach the fps. That said, I think gamepass was the problem with doom.

  @nuhre_ They also have a massive problem with mass effect 5, juat conceptually. It won't be a sequel to andromeda so it has to be 3. Now are we playing shepherd again or a new character? Anything but destroy reapers seems impossible to really continue. What choices do we go with? Do we import? Really hard to do now so will we pick? There are so many setting issues involved which will cause massive problems. And thats before we even begin.

  Knight(Fate)1029384756 (@Knight10293847) reported 48 minutes ago

  My first gut instinct is to agree because yeah. Mass Effect doesn't need a canon ending and it should by all mean 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."

  @Xvault2 Mass Effect combat was serviceable, I enjoyed it as much as I did Fable's. It worked, I had no problem with it. You're not getting my point here lmfao. Mass Effect, Fable and other similar games don't have standout combat. They have ton more gameplay elements at play.

  @CorbynRed So, I take a number of issue here. For one, this probably isn't a person who is high up in the organization and is just someone on the ground or a manager. I can't think of why a PIF head would comment on Mark Darrah's videos. For two, he is really glazing EA for being well managed when this management has lead to BioWare being reduced severely and other studios as well. For three, the fact that he said that after Mass Effect that BioWare will be deployed as creative support is worrying. Like okay. I guess they won't be fired but that is not really good for the creatives of BioWare to just be support. Though I find it odd he calls Andromeda "a touch too creative for a lot of fans," I wonder if he means that positively or negatively. And finally this guy could literally just be lying and making this up. Even if he wasn't I find it hard to believe that a PIF person in a high position would be commenting on a Mark Darrah video. Or any video for that matter.

  @void_cache @Mangroxian I like to mod games, Mass Effect, Cyberpunk being a few of them, but the sheer amount of mods I download often takes up a good chunk of space, so I transferred them to the external hard drive. I try to mediate this issue by letting the game load in for 5 to 10 minutes, but its-
