Just finished Arrival. Sadly, not very much story here.

Spoiler:

Kyero Fox · 2011-03-30, 12:21

so anyone notice any huge graphics diffrence between PS3,360 and PC?

Keroko · 2011-03-30, 16:12

Hmyeah, joining Kyral here. Kind of a weak DLC storywise. Still, that last choice you make could have significant impact on ME3.

Key Board · 2011-03-30, 22:03

i don' think there was a choice to make

this DLC is just to set the stage for ME3

in addition to fighting Reaper forces/proxy forces you will be fighting a lot of Batarians

Batarians will be ME3's Blood Pack/Blue Suns/Eclipse

Kyero Fox · 2011-03-31, 08:37

check out my Shep

Aqua Knight · 2011-04-01, 09:28

Speaking of Shepards, I think playing as this one is kinda fun

Spoiler for click and see:

Kyero Fox · 2011-04-01, 10:47

haha yea prob would, to bad taylor wont be like "another brother on board? awesome!

Drake · 2011-04-01, 15:02

Just finished the DLC aswell and quite enjoyed it although it was way to short for my liking.

why do people STILL ask bioware to put female shepard on the box art? its TO F***IN LATE! drop it people, and both VAers are bad... Male shepard shows too little to no emotion and female shows way to much... I can read her like a book. atleast male shepard sounds more like a military man. Why would they make a battle hardened military bad ass sound like some cliche anime character?

God i hope ME3 does a better job with VAing...

Why couldnt they have kept shepards gender a secret in the trailers and have a model for both male and female. They did it right in Dragon age 2.. awesome VAing and both male and female premade faces... and I think they had a female hawke trailer.

No, no they didn't. They might have had a premade female Hawke face, but male Hawke was the marketing face. Every trailer, add or campaign either featured male Hawke only, or most prominently.

And so what? They picked the male face to be the marketing face. Big whoop. Most people customize their characters anyway, so the face doesn't really matter. Just ignore the whiners, if people have to resort to this just so they have something they can complain about with Bioware games that's more of a compliment to how good the games are then anything else.

liquidmetal · 2011-04-02, 16:22

It's just a placeholder face. Nothing too major. Can't have trailers with different "people" on it otherwise it would just look strange for continuity.

yea he's totally a chick, Canon shepard is a chick because the male VAer sucks. guess thats how things go. Oh wait HE IS A GUY, and she's a woman! .. it all depends on you. If people are gonna complain about male shepard is on the box and not female then they need a lession in products. first they picked the male because they went through the trouble to use that models face. and they will continue to use him since now its too late to change it.

synaesthetic · 2011-04-03, 05:05

I know about the whole thing with the model (and damn, could Bioware have picked a more douchey looking model), I'm just being annoyed. As a woman, I get tired of all the fun actiony games getting stamped with some random brown haired white guy with facial hair.

Harsh

Real shepard would be sad...

Kyero Fox · 2011-04-03, 15:45

HA! they even got the scar XD (opposite direction tho) they should have modeled fem shep with the chick from Alien

synaesthetic · 2011-04-03, 21:32

My femshep ended up looking like Ripley inadvertently.

Kyero Fox · 2011-04-03, 21:41

hehe yea thats kinda weird.

well anyways i like my shepard face way more than the default.

on another note, Why do people so obsessed by want the entire cast Bi? are they not happy with just being close to them? Its clear most of them just want sex scenes. just like them wanting fem shep on the box, its too late damn it! as sad and unfair it is, its TOO LATE

and I JUST thought about something, Anyone notice that the only same sex romance option is of a race that reproduces no matter what gender?! Yea.. think about that for a momment..

Spoiler for If you lack the imagination:

Keroko · 2011-04-04, 02:35

I never go through any of the romance stories, so the entire straight/bi/gay thing just flies past me with a big whoosh.

Spoiler: Well, it is pretty obvious what will happen to you if you work with Reaper Artifacts for too long. Nice to have another Reaper hologram talking to you in the end (Harbinger this time) but he's only shown as a Reaper after you finished the Suicide Mission, for all people who haven't finished the main game yet he appeares as the Collector General. Also, it seems now the Batarians may start a war against the Humans. __________________

Spoiler for Story spoilers: I don't think there will be any war between the human race and the batarians, I think shepard will probably get made into a scapegoat and have to defend himself in some kind of court to justify all his actions (that could be how the third game starts similar to the refresher conversation you have on the shuttle at the start of ME2) since your told by hackett that you'll have to return to earth to "face the music". __________________

Spoiler for If you lack the imagination: if liara (or the other one, if shes available in the 3rd[which i doubt]) are the only same sex options, and their race can reproduce ignoring gender. That can be a HUGE hint towards a the ending including Shepards children. Which it could just be my imagination because fem shep having a child with garrus would be... difficult if not impossible. Tali is in the same situation but a little more doable __________________ Last edited by Kyero Fox; 2011-04-04 at 01:07.
