Mass Effect - Blog Posts
when ur in the mako and the mission item ur looking for is in the middle of a completely flat area with no other features
like in general fuck bioware but i’m REALLY in love with how mass effect presented doctor chakwas, an older, unmarried woman with no children or really any family to speak of, as being totally happy and fulfilled by her career and her friends and the life she’s led, rather than as a tragedy
i love jack so much like she joined shepard with the intent to get cerberus dirt aka names of people who made her life miserable in her childhood and plans to basically go on killing spree as soon as it’s all over: ‘the galaxy’s going to be a lot emptier when i’m done’
and instead she decides to become a teacher and ends up taking a bunch of teenagers under her wing, trains them to take care of themselves, trains them to protect one another and comes to love them so much she refers to them as her kids
like???? jack you made the galaxy so much fuller and brighter and i’m so proud of you
if you don’t like this woman then i don’t like you
You must go in alone – Morinth will be watching. Like any predator, she is cautious. You must pique her interest enough that she will approach you.
I have many problems w Bioware, but they could have made Kaidan an asshole due to his difficult past to appeal to cishet male gamers, but no, instead, they made him a sensitive, kind, loving man. It’s one of the best shit they’ve done
you ever just think about how the geth never hated the quarians. that they stopped pursuing them once they left rannoch and kept their buildings and cities in tact, despite having no need for them, in case the quarians wanted to return peacefully? that they initially surrendered to protect the quarians protecting them? that they keep the memory of each and every quarian that tried to help them or keep them safe in the consensus so that even if their own people forgot or erased them, they’d still be remembered? do you ever just really think about the geth
Shepard: What if we skipped right to the tie-breaker? We could test your reach and my flexibility ;)
Garrus:
Self care is playing Mass Effect 2+3 and only romancing Garrus each and every time
playing dragon age: you have 64 different dialog and approval pages open at all the times bcs you need to carefully plan your team for every goddamn mission so you know what sort of lies you need to spout to achieve maximum approval. say “i think that murdering and torturing mages for fun is a bit unnecessary” without thinking who you have around you and suddenly half of your friends are like “-98465389 approval” and they will probably stab you in your sleep next night
playing mass effect: you can literally slaughter random people, betray your friends, murder families of your friends, murder the friends of your friends, murder your friends, torture people for shit and giggles and generally be objectively the worst person alive and ur team will be just like “haha Shep what the shit, that was a little extreme but i trust in your judgement, i lov you :)”
