/meg/ - Mass Effect General

Welcome aboard the feel train, user.

What else have you read?

have to fight 6 gorillion + 1 reapers instead of just 6 gorillion reapers.
Plus collectors I guess

what's Eden?

his other turian works. I expected shit, but they make me feel too much.

Pain.

>Saren
conquer the citadel and destabilize the galaxy to make a very quick genocide job
>Collectors
build a super reaper to use during the invasion

since both have failed the reapers will have much more work to do. At the times of the Protheans there was no galactic union and the reapers didn't need extra help.

is it a fan fic?

Yes. A good one.

what's it about and where can i find it?

>At the times of the Protheans there was no galactic union and the reapers didn't need extra help.
Opposite. The whole galaxy was under one empire. Didn't help.

femtur and human marine attempt to survive Reaper occupied Eden Prime

fanfiction.net/s/12445583/1/Eden

>At the times of the Protheans there was no galactic union
except the whole galaxy was united under their empire. What you probably mean is that the reapers got ahold of the citadel and locked the relay network, which they couldn't do in this cycle. That would be fine if it weren't for the fact that the reapers can effortlestly float up to the citadel and take it without much of a fuzz.

>that summary just hit me in retrospect.

>attempt to survive Reaper occupied Eden Prime
ah shit that already sounds sad

It's only 9 chapters long, user. Just read it.

i haven't read that much since high school

Speaking of sad endings.
I've been thinking about positive and negative outcomes for each ones of my short lewd writefaggotry. A happy and a sad ending that could be contained in one small sentence.
I've been wondering if /meg/ would be curious about them or if it was too much of a blogpost/dumb bullshit.
Would you like to read about idle thoughts from a frenchman ?

yes

qui

Brioche.

croissant, negligee, maginot liiiiineeee

Nigga it's only like 3 hours of reading. It's worth it.

Do it. It's not like there's much else to talk about.

As much as I dislike sad endings, I'd listen to what you have frenchie.

Were Cerberus cucks doing Reapers a favour or they actually had a plan?

something something french tanks something something reverse gears

>tfw feel more compelled to read after somebody ordered me to do it
ugh god it's like an english class all over again

they were "indoctrinated"

timmy was being played since the beginning but he was too much of an egotistical twat to realize until he was about to shoot the saviour of the galaxy to prevent them from saving the galaxy

they were trying to get the blue flavored ending I think

but ended up INDOCTRINATED.com

REAPED

I expect at least two paragraphs analyzing a character of your choice from the fic, and make sure you back up your arguments using quotes from the book, fag.

CYOANON quick question is it syra or kyra

>guaranteed to have at least one cut or puncture wound trying.
That sounds fun.

d-do you a-accept late work?

I don'r understand why they never explained how different alien species managed to communicate with each other. It seems that everyone in the Milky Way and even Andromeda is fluent in English. They could at least put some bullshit like advanced google translator planted in your brain or something.

its cyra

I always thought of it as Cyra as in Syria, but the other pronunciation works too.

They literally did just that, user. They talk about a universal translator built into the omni-tool or whatever in the codex.

pronunciation

They do have translators though?

That shit better be on my desk in four hours or I'm sendin' your illiterate ass to detention.

well fug me for being stupid. i always read it as Syra, dunno if thats correct. i already miss the CYOA

whats the point of getting on with aliens? its gross

(1/?)

welp looks like im failing again

femdrell who you married dies early to keplar syndrome even after moving to the desert

what write faggotry is this

These aren't 'sad' Brioche, these are more 'blow your brains out depressing because of circumstances beyond their control'.

Well, I'd hate to say it user, but I'm already planning another one because I already miss it too.

>Omega brothel :
Happy : "Big Mama", the Krogan madam, was a veteran mercenary, and most of the girls working in the brothel were used to Omega's harsh life. They manage to hide in the deeper parts of the Eezo mines. As the crew is ambushed by a group of adjudant, the Krogan madam pull them away from the other girls and blow up the mineshaf, sending everyone into space.

Sad : The war begins before they can be evacuated. Stuck together deep under the sea, they spend agonizing day and nights trying to repair the science station radio, thinking it faulty.
Their food reserves held for eights month. It was the Salarian idea to let herself get eaten by the Human, as it seemed the most pragmatical choice.
The human goes through her idea, but isolation and despair throw him over the edge. In a fit of insanity, he split open his head smashing it over and over and over again on the eversilent radio.

>Human X Female Turian (Concert story)
Happy : both of them were civilian and gets evacuated to the Citadel during the early monthes of the war. Keep each other sane and reassured through the Reaper conflict, culminating in an entire night spent in each-other arms, hidden away in a the darkness of a reinforced vault under a ward, listening to Morningstar 314.

His turian lover finds somewhere to hide, listen to Morningstar 314 almost every nights to keep going insane. When a Reaper Dreadnought begins orbital bombardment on the cities, she's desintegrated instantly.

That's all my major writefaggotry, I think

:^)

Thanks for that roller coaster of emotions, frenchman. Can't say I needed it, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

>It was the Salarian idea to let herself get eaten by the Human, as it seemed the most pragmatical choice.

I've never really wrote slow burn type long story, so I'm still thinking in black and white when it comes down to endings.I could try thinking about more mild, more bittersweet type endings too (though I think my base "happy" ones are the hopeful kind of bittersweet), would mostly involve heroes getting mutilated, star-crossed or someone sacrificing his or her life for the other.

I'm also kind of curious if /meg/ has a favorite story from the stuff I wrote. One that worked the best or was the most comfy to read ?

By the way, could you give a hint about what could be your new CYOA project ? I'm curious and looking forward for anything you would do.

you're gross

I'll do one too.

>the CYOA
Happy: After a long night of lewding, you and the detective curl up on the couch to another comfy movie and you both drift off to sleep in each other's arms. You go on some cute dates, explore the Citadel, and finally take her back to her for a nice trip to a beach on Earth, before living out the rest of your years together traveling between a cozy cabin getaway on Earth and doing the odd detective jobs on the Citadel.

Sad:You died. Happy, at least. But the pill you took had far more sinister intentions that you truly realized. It contained small metallic particles that served one purpose: amplifying the effects of microwave radiation. That tingling warmth you felt on the floor? That should've been all to familiar to you as you had felt a very similar feeling in this same apartment not too long ago. You did your best to deny what was truly happening. You wanted to be happy. In your last few moments living in a pain-addled body your brain took you to one place where you thought you'd be safe, comfy, and happy at last: a small little trinket shop right next to the shore, with your new friend by your side. If only you hadn't been blind to what was right in front of you all along.

Hows THAT for an ending? :^)

das an ugly ass baby, and i love Jack too, so that shit is just goddamn unacceptable.

I gave a few hints here: , but I'm still working on a lot of the general details. I'll probably make a post in a day or two asking about some QoL improvements as well as character types they would like to see in the next one. As well as some more mechanical stuff that I'm thinking about implementing.

If I can get it right, I'm planning on going all out on the next one. So you fucks better stick around to play it.

uuugh shit nigga wtf

this is our Cyra sad end

Favorite story? Probably the C-Sec one. Your stuff is usually good, so it's hard to prefer one over the others. The Salarian story was pretty great too. I'm mainly interested on how you'll write the coffee and donuts story, if you still are.

>tfw cyra emotionally manipulated us
>here private detective business is failing she was lucky enough to get this job though
>out of no where a unknown alien shows up
>she seduces us and gets us to work with her
>now she can claim her business has no biases because of the weird alien that hangs around
>governments come with contracts asking for a detective when ever more then one government is involved
>all she has to do is give up sex every now and then and act all cutie when she's with him

...

N-NO!
SH-SHE LOVES US RIGHT?!

Eh, looks prettier than female turians

This is an abomination, hybrids should not be created. Be reasonable and choose something like adoption.

I'm still on that one, and will not take any other project until Coffee and Donuts + the C-Sec continuation are done.
Bad news is :
I've been a bit burnt out from writting and destroying my sleep schedule, even if the CYOA was worth it. Will have to play ME again to get me in the mood and hopefully find the time to write now that I have a new job.
I'm only asking /meg/ to be a bit patient until I get my groove back.
I'd apologize if I didn't knew better.

if it helps I'll crossdress as a black nun for yiou

Well if you do pick up the original cyoa again, those possible hi-jinks said in your other post hopefully includes us busting an Elcor fight club with the detective.
I'll be here for the new adventure. The original had a nice story to it, so this should be fun running with a cool squad. Just be sure not to burn yourself out of writing.

Post raifus? Favorite ability if you can't decide on your favorite gun. Or post both, who gives a shit.

>raifu
>pistol
Also the turians make a damn good rifle.

ME2 Mattock

I love my little hand cannon

ME heavy pistols always were absurdly over-sized and over-powered weapons, even considering how much more you could do with coilgun technology. You have gigantic 2-3 kg pistols with similar punch to rifles, except lower capacity, lower effective ROF, higher recoil (because, again, pistol), and a more awkward grip. Not to mention they're more expensive than their equivalent rifles and presumably wear out quicker.

Why not just use a carbine? Other than sci-fi's leave for giant and powerful pistols of course. Not even the portability excuse flies in this universe since the guns fold up, so a carbine is just as portable as a pistol and probably doesn't weigh much more. As it stands they're only moderately more sensible weapons than pic related.

>leave
*love.

See for example: Star Wars, Halo, 40k, Star Trek, Men In Black, Fallout, etc. But ME really does take things to the next level even compared to those. There are grenade launcher pistols and fucking anti-materiel pistols.

Post Pie-Jacks!
