Copypasting what this retard revealed about the game:
>after the mass relays were destroyed, humanity was separated from the rest of the galaxy but they had the Citadel parked above Earth along with what remained of the Batarians and Krogan, they formed their own alliance. The Council races over time also built their own superstructures and formed their own alliances. Over 600 years in the future, the mass relays are all repaired and rebuilt
First point and we're already retconning 3's ending, with Hackett implying the rebuilding of the relays happens within his lifespan and we outright seeing Wrex and Grunt, who were on Earth during the Catalyst activation, landing on Tuchanka in the Krogan DMZ relay. Now, suddenly, the galaxy was separated for nearly six centuries yet everyone somehow made it out.
>technology has advanced so far from the aftermath of the Reaper War that it has reached a singular point. Reapers are outdated tech so if you chose Control, they're not going to be as impactful as they were
The Reapers had been running the cycles for billions of years, but six centuries is enough to make them irrelevant? Their tech is outdated, which is why it took the galaxy 600 years to rebuild the relays?
>everyone at this stage is part synthetic, so picking Synthesis works out a similar way
It wouldn't if one of the points in your shitty new game revolved around the geth which may or may not be alive depending on this ending
>and Destroy, well, even if Shepard survived he has long since passed
Best ending, always was always will be
>the third faction was the geth. These three factions aren't in open war, rather it's a cold war situation with an unknown enemy seemingly pulling the strings which you are sent out to investigate
AN ANCIENT EVIL AWAKENS again. They didn't learn a goddamn thing

>>
>>750212805
>the geth built the white relays from the concept art years ago, which connects the Milky Way to Andromeda
Thoroughly retarded timeskip just to force Andromeda down our throats
>you're an N7 agent, but unlike Shepard who the devs describe as a walking gun rack, you are an agent, a precision instrument. They wanted the gameplay to feel more like James Bond meets John Wick. You're a super spy, an agent, being tactful if you want and forceful when you need
>what made Shepard special was being a Spectre. The new MC was gonna have experimental tech in your head that uniquely interacts with your physiology
We have Johnny Silverhand at home.
>you're able to interact with the world in unique ways. Think Cyberpunk 2077's hacking, looking through walls, finding pipes, exploding them remotely behind enemies, that kind of thing
You know, "that kinda thing". 600 years in the future, supposedly more advanced tech than even the fucking Reapers, yet you need brand new experimental shit in your head to scan pipes in walls when you could do that shit with a regular Omni-Tool back in the Shepard days
>the implant is seen in action when biotic charging the Salarian and scanning his face to "gather information"
>your missions would be similar to 1, 2, and 3's traditional handcrafted maps, but you can approach them free form, similar to the Hitman series or the start of Noveria. You can talk to people, assess, analyze, and execute
with more freedom. But if you wanted, you could go in guns blazing
>"We then see our human female companion, and oh yes, she looks cute. She has a cute face and a good body. Maybe the devs knew it's what their audience wanted. Rich companions that weren't masculine and muted to keep certain people happy"

They had a WORK IN PROGRESS, UNFINISHED IN ENGINE TRAILER USING ASSETS THEY PRODUCED. It was not a gameplay trailer. It was not a snippet of the game. It was like putting together a few lego pieces and then just parading them around in front of a camera.
>It had been in dev for years
No it hadn't. It was announced and then the Mass Effect team was put onto Veilguard to try to fix that game after EA basically forced them to make it a multiplayer live service game then changed their minds and it went back to singleplayer. The studio had already suffered two rounds of layoffs and was down to a skeleton crew of 50 people. 50 people are not making this game. The time they had to work on it post Veilguard did not amount to any of this.

Quit being dumb. Learn how video game development works. Studios normally have hundreds if not thousands of devs across their own studios, contractors, and out-sourcing studios. Bioware, as far as we know, had none of that. They had no money. No funding. 50 people working at the company, and not even all 50 were game devs.

>They also all flopped

It is the same old story. It is like if the studio that made that Gollum game got shut down and they were like "DUDE NO WE WERE MAKING GOLLUM 2 AND IT WAS GONNA BE SOOOOO GOOD BRO"
>>
My sequel idea:
2 and on were all a dream
The new game is a sequel to 1 but with ten times as many planets you have to drive around and scan and also do vehicle combat on
Quarian pee somehow became a super weapon so during missions you want to bring a lot of drink items to feed Tali so her bladder meter goes up quicker and she fills her suit integrated super soaker gun with more charges

Because BioWere spent years churning out garbage their actual target audience HATED while ignoring all that negative feedback, and now that they're gone, they act condescending, saying the next project was actually going to be what everyone was asking of them (even though, by the description, it still clearly wasn't)

>>
>>750211930

So my guess for how this was rationalized is the fact Batarian space is right next to Earth in terms of raw distance.
Also the fact that their government got completely fucking destroyed so their whole civilization is basically starting from scratch.

A long time ago I was a game tester at EA. I didn't work for too long there and I was never credited since I was technically a contractor, but it also gave me some insight on how AAA games look early in development. I was able to play very early versions of Inquisition and Andromeda.

I learned that polish and "fluff" as I call it is only added in the later stages of development. Aside from areas made for public showcases, such as for "in engine trailers" or gameplay demos it was quite common for a majority of the game to be composed of placeholder assets. Characters may not have animations, some may even be blank mannequins. Voice lines are often various versions of Microsoft Sam, environments are sparce and often lacking textures. It's not until perhaps the 60-70% mark do they start tidying things up by putting in the proper assets and whatnot.

I'm sure there was actually a lot of work done on the game, but aside from the trailer that got leaked I'm betting none of it was cleaned up. The people over at EA were very aware of their reputation and didn't want to risk showing off anything to the public that looked obviously unfinished, even if they slapped a "this is a work in progress" label on it because they knew placea like /v/ and reddit would tear it apart anyway.

Bioware hasn't made a good game in nearly 20 years
ME as a series has more bad games than good ones

Nobody would ever bet 100 bucks that Bioware could make something remotely decent right now, and the funny thing is that the untalented people who could only produce garbage refuse to admit their games sucked big time. You can blame EA too, the quality of the games clearly declined post purchase, but the fact those folk refuse to do any sort of introspection, just admit the truth and say Anthem was an abomination, admit you kept filling your games with this political agenda that just made everyone shun it because the dialogue was retarded, it's hard to have any sympathy because now it's Elon Musk's fault, it's Trump's fault, it's everyone's fault except EA and Bioware who only produced garbage nonstop
>>

I honestly think Bioware was never good, and Dragon Age Origins and Mass Effect 1 was the worst type of RPG slop with a bunch of numbers, nothing meaningful build wise, and no action to speak of. Good Riddens.

More likely is that Quarians simply don’t have the numbers to be a major force in galactic politics.

Batarians would be the ones that refuse to side with humans. They will kill humans on sight, and are inherently racist (speciesist?) towards humans.
If you spared Balek in ME1, he becomes the highest ranking Batarian in ME3 and effectively the ruler of their species. It means his actions, literally terrorism by throwing an asteroid at a planet, were sanctioned by their government. That fact alone says a lot. On top of it, we don't meet a single nice Batarian in the whole trilogy. The friendliest we see is Aria's lieutenant, meaning a high ranking man in a crime syndicate.

Because we had contested planets that we were given by the Council but the Batarians saw as theirs
Now 600 years later Batarians had to rebuilt from scratch since (from their POV) Shepard, despite being in their homesystem, did fuck all to actually help them. Now either Humans used this opportunity to invade the batarian systems for more planets, fueling resentment from batarians, or we gave them those planets as a gesture of good will, fueling human supremacist resentment towards batarians because of the gibs
Basically the only way two nations sharing a border can have good relations is when there's a third nation sharing a border they both hate even more, but since we also made peace with the "worse than niggers" Krogan and everyone else is supposedly cut off, I don't know what threat that would be

They really arent. Asari seem tech advanced but in reality they were just adapting reaper tech while at the same time telling everyone else that it was dangerous and illegal. Salarians have so much going against them as a race (entire society and reproductive biology is tied to their homeplanet) that they can never be more than a guest star in someone else's space empire. Turians are the only competent race in the council, and while their warfleets are good they can't really stand up any 2 of humans and batarians and krogans, let alone all 3.

Yeah which speaks volumes to how retarded the Salarians and Asari were in 3. The Turians were on the front lines from the onset, the Asari withheld Prothean artifacts that would have beaten the Reapers before they were even a problem and didn't get involved until the Reapers had already glassed Thessia.

The asari are the most retarded faction in the entire IP. Their behavior makes ZERO sense, basically across the entire franchise. Shepard getting the fragmented visions AND the total cultural understanding of the protheans would be massive for their own beacon research, and only Liara ever thinks to use their mind magic to share that info. and then she puts on the stupid hat in 2 by becoming the shadow broker instead of further researching the reapers after confirming they are real and they destroyed the protheans.

The US has been allied with Saudi Arabia, at least in part, since Saudi Arabia conquered the other Arab states directly after WW1. Why? Because they have a metric giga nigger ton of oil, are strategically positioned next to the Suez Canal, and care more about money than they do their religion so they can be dealt with unlike the radicals.

The US and Russia are also not natural enemies. We used to be allies. Hell, we were outright friendly with each other prior to the Bolsheviks took over. We even sent an expeditionary force to Russia during their Civil War-turned-Revolution.

Since we're posting fanfics rate my hypothetical ME interquel squad

Your first squad mate and an alliance of necessity. Depending on your actions and interactions with him he'll either become a bro for life your you'll be trying to kill each other by the end of the game
>Asari
Ada Wongsari
>Female Turian
Need I say more?
>Male salarian
It high time we had another salarian squad mate
>Quarian
I haven't decided if I want to haremmaxx or not. If so, female.

You could push him to either embrace his namesake or reject it and be his own man

It feels like you were locked in a class, or, again, there were no classes. Doesn't seem like there was much of a party control. Like, how are you going to do stealth shit with 3 people? Or is the Krogan gonna be hiding in plain sight?
Seems like they thought they could make Alpha Protocol Mass Effect, but I don't get the feeling like that was possible.
It's fundamentally NOT Mass Effect.

>she literally does
She literally doesn't. Her mind-melding helps Shepard interpret the beacon, but Shiala ties the Cipher to Shepard's specific neural imprinting. Only two people in the galaxy have it, the hero and the villain.
>>
>>750223869
and Shiala, who can share it with others at will, and is an Asari. And even if Liara doesn't get the cipher it in it's entirety (which I think is a cope), it still gives her the understanding she needs to solve the puzzle and save the galaxy. such a thing would be invaluable to the Asari people, and the secret beacon researchers. so naturally they do nothing.
>>
>>750224031
>Shiala
The unique asari that was absorbed inside the Thorian, sharing a single consciousness, sacrificed by Saren specifically because it was the only way to acquire the Cipher?
>even if Liara doesn't get the cipher it in it's entirety (which I think is a cope)
There's a reason you're not able to find a single source or line of dialogue stating she obtains it vs just helping Shepard's own brain make sense of things and interpreting it afterwards.
>>
>>750211767
So it immediately ignores if humanity entered the council and if Shepard reconciliated Quarians and Geth?
>>
>>750224031
They'd have to know about the beacon on Thessia first to inquire if it had any useful information accessible with the Cipher. The Thessian beacon was a secret to all but the asari shadow government.

Of course not. The proposal was probably something that sounded cool. The problem being the devs and management who actually made the game. The next mass effect game would have been the exact same.
>>
>>750224251
>ermmm you can't post the exact milisecond where the character looks directly at the screen and goes "thank you shepard I too am now the owner of the cipher" that means it doesn't happen even though you referenced a scene where Liara will ask to mind meld again if you didn't have the cipher the first time they did it
riddle me this anon, if it was a good idea for Liara to mind meld to obtain the knoweldge, why wouldn't it be a good idea for other Asari to do so? perhaps ones that may be researching a prothean beacon and have one that is intact? The cipher helped her solve a BROKEN beacon, but I guess it's worthless on a fully functioning one lol
>>
>>750224449
right and the asari shadow government clearly know about Shepard, because there's no way they're operating without knowing what The Council is up to. their agents should've been on the scene frame 1 of Shepard describing his visions, and there frame -1 when he reported to them about the cipher. this is really just a case of these things not existing in ME1, so when the reveal hits in 3 it makes this supposedly hyper competent shadow government look like drooling morons.
>>
>>750224523
>ermmm you can't find your fanfic in the game itself
Yes.
>if it was a good idea for Liara to mind meld to obtain the knoweldge
She didn't obtain the knowledge, she saw Shepard's brain picture a little bit clearer. Nothing was stored in hers, she was seeing a projection of Shepard's brain. How do you not get this, the game came out 19 years ago.

Why do faggots like that no only get hired but weasel their way into leading roles in the studio? You would think wanting to maintain a cohesive and consistent narrative and setting in an RPG would take precedence over just pumping out slop. Even if EA is breathing down their fucking necks some faggot in a suit isn’t saying which way the story should go he’s just saying to add live service bullshit and other shit to milk as much money out of the player as possible. All the actual writing and world building is on the designers. It always feels like they hire people that are either completely apathetic or loathe the shit they make.

>killing off 99% of companions with only Liara and maybe Grunt and/or Wrex as the sole survivors.

Initially I was super mad this shit got cancelled, but when that trailer leaked and it got confirmed to basically tailor itself to Andromeda by having a timeskip is when I was super relieved it got cancelled.

I couldn't imagine leaving the trilogy with so many unsolved questions and issues regarding perhaps the greatest companions ever to be in an RPG series.

Canceling this game is a mercy killing for us OG bioware fans.

Hoping the game gets picked up by another studio and just reused the assets to give us a smaller scale ME4 with a small time skip maybe 5-10 years after ME3 dealing with the current dynamics of the galaxy and its issues with it setting up to a true finale of a ME5 finally dealing with Leviathans.

Like so many GOATed companions like Wrex, Garrus, Tali, Miranda, Javik, etc. killed off just go to cater to Andromeda troops.

Never will an RPG ever have the same amount of amazing companions the way the ME trilogy did and this is coming from someone who is as anti-woke and a RPG stan as they come.

DA1 came close as a stand alone game, but didnt deliver over the following games by bringing those companions back like ME trilogy games did , but finessing Morrigan into being Allistair's (your fellow Warden nigga that is literally a loser virgin that jacks off in the bushes) hoe as a means of fulfilling her wish of a demon spawn baby all while RP'ing as a racist vengeful City Elf who wouldnt dare touch human filth like her or Lilliana (humans were the only female romance options in DA1) just to see their eventual bastard child in DA3 being acknowledged was a chef's kiss moment, especially considering Allistair was still childless otherwise meaning a demon spawn would inherit Allistair's kingdom thereby inadvertently doing Morrigan a favor in the long run.

>>750236312
I hated her in ME1, but ME2 she was much more tolerable and by the end of ME3 where she platonically mindfucks you won me over finally as a character and her overall effort in the story.

I get that she's forced in to be like a deuterotagonist or whatever which doesnt help, but as for Tali while shes still a GOAT for me (drunk Tali is best character in series only behind drunk Javik), she lost her significance and became more of an annoying trope of a damsel in distress after each game with her being less significant to the plot (except her being a admiral if you played the game right but didnt really shown itself manifesting as good as it could be nonetheless).

Still though, if not for her Shepard would never be a SPECTRE in ME1 so shes basically grandfathered in. Her being open to a threesome with Shepard that Garrus apparently suggested to her at the party is basically seals the deal.

>>750236423
His opinion isn't invalid and said thieving gypsy girl actually gets good character development to be equivalent to what a triumvir is except with 5 people instead of 3 for her whole civilization as a 20-something year old.

My personal favorite while loving Liara and Tali myself was Miranda (the only romance option that didnt feel like you babysitting).

Miranda mod is a must btw even if you don't romance her, fixes her to he in ME3 as initially planned as her not being there makes zero sense.

I know some are clowning on the setup of Batarians, Krogans and Humans allying together but honestly with a 600 year time jump you COULD probably write this to make sense if Humanity got kicked out of the council for whatever reason

We're a major power in the OT & have one of the most powerful fleets in the OT unless we let it rot for some reason we'd still have teeth, Krogans operated under a clan/warlord system but if you put Wrex into power he plans on going into a more stable & nationstate-like system of governance but if he stayed in power for hundreds of years (which Wrex could have done since Krogan live even longer than Asari) he could have become the Krogan version of Tito holding the various factions of retards infighting under him together (very likely they collapse into a civil war after his death though & according to some leaked art/info that's exactly what happens).

The Batarian government runs under an oligarchic council layered ontop of a slavery/caste system which is why Batarian slavers/pirates operate so much outside of council space so they can sell them into slavery in Batarian controlled space so they're more akin to a weird mixture of stuff like what westoids think North Korea & Russia are like mixed with personal/racial grievances of the Arab world towards Israel/the US.

If they transferred from a hard slave/caste system to be more like the Asari "grey worlds" where slavery is soft legal via indentured servitude humanity might be desperate enough to ally with them.

A rebuilt Batarian, Krogan & Human formal military, diplomatic & scientific alliance wouldn't be something to scoff as we'd have insane manpower advantages & would be gassing up a massive physically powerful races.

This is all just autistic spitballing & I still don't think that nu-Bioware would make it this interesting they'd probably just go "ehhh the Krogan have a normal westoid election cycle and the Batarians know that slavery is like bad o algo"

>Why tf is Liara better for you in 1 than 2 and 3. Exact opposite for me
In 1 it felt like she had a purpose: the story was focused on the protheans and the Reapers, and so she was the prothean expert who grew from effectively a child in how she sees the world to a bit more knowledgeable and whatnot. She didn't have any more or less relevance than any other squadmate, if anything she had less so compared to Wrex and Kashley thanks to Virmire. You learn her race is long lived and so they dedicate a retarded amount of years to any one profession or hobby because a human month is effectively five asari decades. Then ME2 comes around and she's rewritten into an edgy info broker who's been doing her shtick for less than 2 years yet she's Ilium's best, then she becomes the Shadow Broker in the DLC, and then she becomes the default writer's pet. I appreciate ME1 Liara, I really couldn't care less about her in the sequels.
>legion and miranda not in at least B tier is criminal
You know Legion for 5 minutes before the credits roll because you either get your crew killed or he only joins literally right before the Suicide Mission. I always thought Miranda was kinda mid, the "we absolutely need to have a default white female companion for the cover" lass. Not bad mind you, just not particularly great either. Just kinda there.
>Also your A and S tier should me merged
Maybe, S are just the infallible GOATs. Joker and Anderson are never not chewing the scenery, and Saren was the best antagonist in the entire franchise. As much as I love the rest there's bits and pieces about them, like the C-Sec/Spectre choice for Garrus being abandoned in 2, or Wrex only being a squadmate in 1 or the like. Still, the first two tiers are effectively untouchable and a reminder of how once upon a time vidya writing was actually kinda good.

>>750237849
>kinda good

Mah nigga there isnt any other franchise I could think of to give you that proportion let alone half of that proportion of excellent companions in comparsion total amount of companions as a whole in a respective game, at least since the trilogy ended.

Also, I ain't a bitch but goddamn ngl I teared up the way they delivered Mordin's character from going from a total joke and seeming like initially a very one-note forgettable character to eventually being complex and ironically funny and then finally what happened to him at the end [/spoiler] with him going out the way he did with even an extra added nice touch added that you don't get the true perfection of it seeing him sing if you didnt bother to talk to him enough in ME2 to unlock it (basically having to put in the work to earn it instead of just picking the meta options in the game)[/spoiler].

Can't think of any fictional medium that made me tear up let alone in vidya, only thing came close was Nagato or Kabuto's story in Naruto.

Not to mention, choices like those have weight added to them because you know they're not the default. Hearing him sing matters when you know it can be skipped. Having him sacrifice his life to atone for what he thinks was his greatest mistake matters because you know you could've ended up shooting him in the back. Keeping Wrex alive through Virmire and helping him with his people matters because you know you can backstab him, sabotage the cure then get C-Sec to shoot him like a dog in the Citadel. Making peace between quarians and geth matters because you know you can get to fuck up so hard Tali decides to kill herself after seeing her people be genocided right in front of her. Mass Effect was meant to be the blueprint for the future of these kinda games, instead it just stayed as the peak.

Maybe Bioware should have treated every game like it would be their last if they were financially in the red instead of acting like they had infinite money and giving each other high fives over pissing on their customers. There's never been an industry that's more in need of an attitude adjustment than what the western entertainment industry has turned into over the past 25 years. This should have been what was normal all along.

I thought that the trailer was okay, but I have enough pattern recognition to know that it would have been bait-and-switch garbage and that there's a virtually 0% chance that it would have felt like classic Mass Effect. What kind of retard would legitimately be sitting on the edge of his seat for a Bioware game in 2026?

This. BioWare were sitting on the best time to put a new game out pre-Veilguard with how the 2021 LE brought both renewed interest in the IP as well as a plethora of new fans to devour anything with 'Mass Effect' in the title. People doompost over how it's impossible to continue after the Reaper War but do you realize how much open room for cool new narratives a galactic war leaves you with? Knowing from 3's epilogues (before Universe seemed to retcon them) that it doesn't take centuries for basic infrastructure to be rebuilt, so it's not even like you'd have an apocalyptic setting where you can only fly around the Local Cluster?
Set a new game some 80~100 years after Shepard, long enough for human companions to be out of the picture and some like Grunt to be available for cameos to make normies clap. Base it around ME2's blueprint which was bad for a supposedly connected trilogy but would work just fine for a new (soft reboot-ish) entry. Several hub areas, from one that's still reeling from the war to show how much it affected the galaxy to another that's done its hardest to cover up the past with a rich façade like Illium but you slowly get to find out is rotten to the core. Ragtag group of alien squadmates, underrepresented races from the OT (batarian squadmate, female drell etc.) and a 2000s BioWare plot about defeating a generic bad guy (but nothing galaxy-threatening).
Part of the interest in ME's universe is how humanity has only been around for a few decades, and the setting is more grounded than balls to the wall "everything is possible" sci-fi. The moment you move the timeline to the fucking 2800s? That's lost. And for what? To tie-in with pic related? Jesus Christ.

I like this list, basically same as mine.
I never found Miranda hot at all and I always thought Liara was dull at best and her character ark is fucked.
In the first game she's a nerdy socially inept archaeologist and then suddenly transitions between games into a stone cold psychopathic killer, who soon works as a master manipulator observing the galaxy from the shadows.
There was zero real explanation for this, the contrast is just too damn big. No Shephard dying doesn't fucking count as a reason, she's fundamentally a different character.

I honestly don't even want to hate her, but she has that unfortunate fate of being the corporate chosen wife for you and that explains everything.
She's the safest looking alien design and you will love her because the corporate says so.
Suits even wanted to axe Tali from the third game entirely.
Which shows how hard they wanted to push Liara as the default wife and genuinely didn't understand people would want to bang a non human looking design, which is very likely why we didn't get Turian females either.
If it wasn't for one writer campaigning to keep her we wouldn't have had our Quarian waifu in the game at all.
It's honestly a miracle the games turned out as well as they did.

It's an appeal to emotion so they get a W on the way out. As in "this is what you did chuds, the fake game that didn't have an internal closed alpha, and you aborted it, are you happy?" The answer is yes, I'm very happy. I'm very happy that a leftist can cry about what could have been in a video game. Maybe that message will resonate moving forward

Exactly this.

I couldn't back when I was a teen. I felt like I was getting in trouble IRL and being a mean bully when I picked them. The only ones I remember doing is shooting the Krogan who talked too much and sniping the robot on Omega because they didn't feel like like true renegade options.
I then did a replay and found both the racist, xenophobic, and mean options far easier to pick in my early 30s than I did as a teen. Which made me realize how much I had changed.

This is from dialogue that was supposed to be cut from ME2. A human, a turian and a salarian are watching an Asari dance and each comments about radically different things that make her attractive i.e. the human says she’s got great tits but the Turian says she has sexy scales. It’s a cool idea, that the Asari are psychically changing their appearance to be most appealing to (you) but it’s mentioned literally nowhere else in the franchise as far as I’m aware

THEN WHY SET IT 600 YEARS IN THE FUCKING FUTURE? 600 years ago, we had Joan of Arc, Donatello (not the turtle) and Gutenberg. (Roughly, I never did well in history). Do we remember their legacy? Sure. But man, you see how far removed they are from our live? You know how weird it would be to care about Shepards legacy 600 years later? I'm not saying no one would know the name, but it would be literally ancient history.
This is so dumb. Man. also: The story was already sci-fi as hell. are they gonna come up with super-sci-fi 600 years advancement on what was already basically magic? Or did they just fucking stagnate and there's even more no reason to send the story 600 years forward?
