I think it was from someone's game where they had a texture pack installed. Guess Tali's face was messed up during that time.

That'll do.

how is it humans have so much fucking space?

Attached: Galaxy_Map_before_ME3.jpg (1980x1814, 562K)

1. All the other races were too scared to expand into that region.

2. A lot of that space was technically owned by the BTs but they didn't have anything in writing so the Alliance took it. The little four eyed monsters got so mad that they quit the citadel.

it's just so disproportionate

Puny council scared of activating dormant relays and the general seclusion of human space.

More like the other races didn't want to be anywhere near Batarians. It's not worth being anywhere close to them and risk constant terrorist attacks.

Well the colonies with constitutions/law systems that encourage weapon ownership and militias are ok.

The rest of them are fucked.

I fucking hate that Shepard never got promoted to Captain. I understand why he was still a Commander when he was working for the council/ cerberus, but in ME3 he is working directly for the highest ranking man in the Alliance. If Shepard is expected to negotiate for humanity, he NEEDS the authority to negotiate.

Guarantee you it's a suspension-of-disbelief thing.

Changing Shepard's rank and having everyone adjust will call undue attention to the fact no one says their first name because for some reason (even though it's entirely unneeded) they let the player decide it. A rank change doesn't mean much if everyone just talks to you by your name as normal, but in Shepard's case...

A lot of Tali's dialogue seems written with BroShep in mind, like the line you quoted (though that might be more to do with how the actress delivered it). Her non-romance 'endeared' lines come off flirty enough that they're kind of awkward when you're playing as FemShep.

wow she's beautiful

It's a damn shame no one ever saw Tali or Garrus' VAs again. They clearly had talent.

Garrus's VA was in The Division. I enjoyed listening to that soothing Turian voice.

he was also in FO4, as was Jack's

and Thane's

Garrus's VA pops up here and there but I will say that he's extremely underrated and taking up roles beneath his level of talent. Dude should be voicing more major characters and maybe take up some cartoon roles or something since that usually gets VA even more popular than they already are.

It's a finished trilogy with an attempted spin-off that ended in catastrophe, and all the people who made it off doing other things.

There's not much more to do with it other than go the Trekkie route and just continually circlejerk about how great/not great it is for the next decade - which we're kind of on-track to doing.

1. Game/setting is made by humans
2. Council being stagnant shits that would rather build tall than explore
3. Batarian fucking shits
4. A fair portion of core Human space is implied to occupy territory that was locked behind post-Rachni unexplored relays (hence the Turians chimping out when they spotted Alliance ships dicking around near a 'forbidden' relay)

Tali's VA has been in quite literally nothing but Mass Effect per her IMDB page. Which is really weird, she was good in my opinion. By comparison Garrus's VA has has a bunch of bit parts in TV listed plus a couple dozen video games.

Yes, it is going to die a pathetic death surrounded in normies posting shitty SFM pictures of worst waifus and husbandos

How do you know, is that how /dag/ went out?

No, It is what this thread is. Fuck you talicancers, frecklebeasts, teal parasite lovers and fuck everyone else who don't produce OC.

Yes, including you Garrus loving legbeards, at least Regina actually did drawings

I wish Tech Armor stayed on during conversations, it looks so fucking cool.

Not too bad. At least it looks much better than kotor's shitty-looking shields, which did stay on during conversations.

Tech armor looked great in multiplayer too. Such a neat ability.

LotGH is pic related. everyone behaves stupid as fuck when it comes to military tactics while the protagonists are the only ones who show any kind of skill, it's literally in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.

Is that how tech armor works? I always thought they were just some sort of omni-tool barriers.

IIRC the pretty colours are warning lights because the superpowered shields can fuck up anything that gets too close

I would also argue that you can't really paint maps like that in Mass Effect, like you can in Halo or Star Wars, where a faction controls a specific region of space.
In Mass Effect, everyone travels with mass relays which then creates bubbles of civilized space. For example, Horizon being almost 50 000 lightyears from Earth, but that doesn't mean that humanity controls everything between. They control the mass relays, but not the space between the relays.
Unlike Halo where you can go wherever you want which in turn creates the concept of "inner" and "outer" colonies, since you have to expand outwards from Earth.

Plus, just in general, I don't think Bioware really had any logical thought in mind when they placed the systems and clusters. For example, Arcturus is 36 lightyears away (even says so in the codex), yet the galaxy map puts it at thousands of lightyears away. I'd take everything in that map with a sizeable scoop of salt.

You're essentially surrounded by a warp field. Mass Effect 2 being the game it is, just never bothered to explain what the fuck it was, so it wasn't until Mass Effect 3 where they got their thumb out of their asses and rememberd that the game was an RPG grounded in reality (in the sense that they explained shit in the first game, they do some weird fuckin' shit in the third game to the point where I'd question the fact that it's the same franchise).
>omni-tool barriers
Omni-tools are holographic displays, nothing more.

I only vaguely remember there being a prequel; I dont recall there ever being a 3rd one. Shame too, with the blatant sequel bait at the end.

Your waifu is as real as you let her be. She doesn't need to be in this realm with us, to have an effect on our lives.

If I spend a little bit each day studying physics and how space works, because those are things Suvi is interested in, she has had a real effect on the real world. My brain is better, and it's because of her. If I work out more because she wouldn't want to date a /sticc/, then she has a real effect. My life is better, because of her.

Do something to make your waifu proud of you, and she's as real as any motivation.
