“…One of us is gonna have to change.”
So I got to gibbed modding some saves. Used my very first Shep, Rowan, as a guinea pig. Got the Allers hair, but it’s clearly only made for the stupid dress. Every other outfit, it just clips down straight through the outfit. Sort of makes it pointless.
I need to figure out how to get custom hairs into the game now. Anyone have and sites that can help?
Just reminding people to please still tag spoilers for the Citadel DLC.
Some people, like myself, work and want to experience every bit of the DLC. I spent almost an hour in the apartment alone listening to all the datapads. So yeah, it might be a few days before I actually finish the DLC, and I’m sure I’m not alone in that.
Thank you! :)
OFFICIAL CITADEL TRAILER
I’m sitting at work on my lunch break trying to cry silently. It’s finally starting to hit me. This is it. It’s over. Fuck.
Just so we’re clear: From what I gather, the whole ‘Zombie-Thane’ comment isn’t what is causing the anger.
It’s the fact that Bioware thought nobody would want to play the game over again to see any new Thane content, and that they somehow thought that was a legitimate excuse for not creating any.
It proves that they are clearly not listening to, nor have they ever listened to, the fans, and honestly, if they really think nobody would want to play their game again to get the most out of a DLC, then they have some serious issues with their game creation, and they clearly do not understand what a video game fanbase is like. This isn’t just some random game, it’s Mass Effect, you know, that game that prides itself on its replayability? Are these people so far removed from the series that they’ve forgotten what game they’re talking about?
What naive, witless bunch of people would ever look at a $15 DLC they’re making and go ‘oh, we COULD put this awesome stuff in there, but nobody will want to play the game over again to experience it, so let’s just skip it’. Who in their right mind? Honestly? Do you think we’d pay that much for DLC and then not put in every effort to enjoy every bit of it?
Bioware, my heart is so disappoint.
Pass this the fuck around so people can see how fucking stupid BioWare is.
Wow. Just wow, Bioware. Zombie-Thane? You couldn’t “bring him back from the dead” only because you think that we’re so lazy so we can’t replay the game from the beginning to see him live!? Are you fucking kidding me? I don’t even have any words for this, I’m not even gonna start. and now, I really wonder what that fucking “positive experience” is… nothing about this is positive. I guess that we will see someone CARE about his death or maybe a little stupid hologram. Ohhhh yes, exectly what we want! NO! THAT’S NOT WHAT WE FUCKING WANT!!!
I seriously have no words. This is a romance DLC, and they just fucked Thane up again. This fucking “positive experience” better be fucking good. “Zombie-Thane.” “We couldn’t make him live because people don’t want to start all over.” This makes me want to throw up.
I thought it was impossible to be any angrier at Bioware. I was wrong.
I will now state my opinion on the drama concerning ME3 Multiplayer classes, and how people are pissed that the Volus has more classes available than some other races.
It has nothing to do with lore breaking, it has to do with gameplay balance. Volus are the only purely support class in MP, so they need to have a lot of variety to be useful. People bitched and whined and moaned about not having support classes, and now that you guys have them, you’re claiming it’s too much, or not of the race you wanted?
Considering how the rest of ME3 turned out, you should be lucky Bioware listened to the fans at all.
As you might have heard, Robin Sachs, the voice of Zaeed Massani in Mass Effect 2 and 3, recently passed away. What does Bioware do? Operation Tribute. I didn’t connect the two when I first heard about the multiplayer event, since they have these events practically every weekend anyways. But then I read the requirements.
50,000 points using the m-8 Avenger assault rifle. Ok, nothing special there.
50,000 points using inferno grenade. Wait, wasn’t that Zaeed’s loyalty power in Mass Effect 2? You’re guddamn right it was. Feels, Bioware. All the feels.
From the operation description: “We must honor and avenge our comrades who fell.” Feeeeeeeeels
I JUST REALIZED THIS HOLY SHIT BIOWARE.

Is it sad that I take the smiley face as a sign that there will be more Thane?
Sigh.
WHAT. I SWEAR TO GOD BIOWARE.
I’M SO EXCITED, THOUGH. RECONNECTING WITH OLD TEAM MEMBERS. FIGHTING ALONGSIDE WREX. NEW CUTSCENES. JUST…OH GOD. THE FEELS.
I’d like to take a moment to rant about the injustice that was done to Thane Krios in Mass Effect 3, mostly because if I don’t get this stuff out of my head and off my chest I may very well explode.
I’m just going to be focusing on his encounter with Kai Leng on the Citadel, because it’s the one thing that just really, really fucking rubs me the wrong way in all kinds of meanings of it.
First off.. the entire choreography of the fight is just… off. It’s off, because it’s incredibly impossible and stupid. It’s impossible and stupid because—and I don’t care what you say about the physical well-being of Thane at the time of the encounter, he could have beaten Kai Leng no matter what state he was in.
At the start of the fight, not only is Thane able to sneak up immediately beside Kai Leng undetected, but he is able to engage in a few bouts of hand-to-hand combat with him, and despite being thrown by Kai Leng, he keeps his balance, and doesn’t even seem winded, let alone hurt. This is probably the one and only part of the fight that I’m at least not bothered by. However, I feel like Thane would not have hesitated, and would have shot him right on the spot, the second he had the chance. Though, for the sake of being dramatic, and for lack of a better argument, it was intended to be an intense assassin vs. assassin duel, and also for the sake of argument, lets say he wasn’t able to get a shot at him due to Shepard + their squad + the Councillor being in the line of fire.
The next part, however, pisses me off, and this is why…
Kai Leng cloaks and runs off, and when he reappears, Thane fires six or seven shots at him, at close range, with a pistol.
Now let me take a moment to remind you who the fuck Thane Krios is.
Thane Krios is a skilled biotic and marksman. Okay? He uses fucking sniper rifles in Mass Effect 2. Without a visor like Garrus, I might add. So the very idea, that Thane would miss any shot at such close range, let alone SEVEN…is fucking laughable.
But lets move on.
Kai Leng closes in, and Thane dodges not one, but two attempts he makes to stab him with his blade, and lands a kick, and does a sort of biotic-falcon-punch to Kai Leng that sends him back about 10 feet.
And now let me take a moment to remind you who the fuck Kai Leng is.
If you never read the books Kai Leng was created in, I’ll just share the basic information you need as far as this rant goes. Kai Leng never once used any kind of blade or sword in the books. He just used guns and the like. This sword motif with the phantoms and such is brand fucking new to Mass Effect 3. Why? I don’t fucking know. Space ninjas, that’s why. Because Bioware. But the fact remains that Kai Leng was never suggested as being a skilled swordsman prior to Mass Effect 3. So just…keep that in mind.
After the biotic-falcon-punch, Kai Leng staggers up, and Thane retrieves his pistol, and gets a brand new clip ready while Kai Leng takes some sort of awkward phantom pose to seem intimidating and really just looks stupid doing it. And then they run at each other. And just as they’re close enough, Thane does some kind of unnecessary jump, and literally just falls onto Kai Leng’s sword. Kai Leng doesn’t even fucking do anything, he just holds his sword out, and Thane leaps onto it, like “oh right this is my queue to die.”
No.. I’m sorry, what..
Lets rewind.
Thane. Skilled marksman. Sniper rifles. Pistol. Close range. Target directly in front of him. WITH NO ONE in line of fire this time.
I’m sorry.. but Thane Krios would not have made the mistake he made that killed him. He wouldn’t have even moved, honestly. He would have shot Kai Leng without a seconds hesitation. Because Thane does not hesitate. He would have pierced through his fucking skull in a single shot, and the battle would have ended with him as the victor. Not this shitty fucking stab that happens.
Say what you will about Thane Krios. I don’t care if you don’t like him, or if you disagree with some of his morals, or his beliefs, or hell I don’t even care if you had him die in ME2. I really don’t. But the fact is, that entire battle is a complete and utter perversion of Thane’s character and existence in the Mass Effect universe, and I’m not even including his character development that they fucked up either.
The fact that Bioware was so uncaring to a character sickens me. That they would end his chapter like that, being killed by a minor villain in such a stupid and illogical way frustrates me to no end. It is impossible, and it’s stupid. And I’m really fucking surprised more people aren’t outraged by this.
The Illusive Man himself recruited Thane for Shepard’s mission because he is the best assassin in the GALAXY. The very thought that someone like Kai Leng would have the capacity to take on such a person is just ludicrous. Sure, Thane was sick, sure, he wasn’t in the best shape.. but this is a drell that has been living with Kepral’s Syndrome likely for years. And has still faced Krogan, Turian, and powerful biotic commando Asari, and always emerged the victor. He takes on hordes of enemies by himself, and comes out practically unscathed. Thane Krios could have wiped the floor with Kai Leng no matter what physical condition he was in, because Kai Leng is sloppy, and inefficient. And Thane is a master at efficiency and killing.
I seriously can’t watch that fight scene without wanting to throw something in a fit of rage because of the complete disregard for Thane that’s so blatant in that scene. The fact they used him as a kind of sympathetic tragic hero of the moment disgusts me. As if I needed motivation to be antagonized by Kai Leng. The fact that they used the death of one of the most interesting and thought provoking characters to promote motivation to go after a villain shows just how fucking poor their writing and lack of planning was when they decided to introduce Kai Leng as a villain in ME3 in the first place.
THANK. YOU. HUSK. Could not have said it better myself.
masseffect-multiplayer-things:
it’s not kill thiefing if you both notice eachother after you press the button. Few people actually go out their way to steal kills.
It’s also not kill stealing because THERE IS NO SUCH THING IN A COOPERATIVE GAME. I am getting really sick of people thinking ME3 MP is a competition. You’re supposed to be working TOGETHER. Suck it up, buttercup, and find someone else to kill, because YOU’RE ALL TRYING TO KILL EVERYTHING AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. Who makes the kill is irrelevant. Mother of Amonkira I am sick of this!
LOOK AT THE SASS ON REGGIE’S FACE AS SHE RELOADS HER SNIPER RIFLE WHAT THE HELL REG.
Wow, so, unintended side effect of actually keeping Ashley alive for once: I now ship her and Vega. Like, hardcore.

I am more than ready to tackle gold matches, but I can’t get into any because people see my N7 score and immediately kick me out. Fucking annoying.
