Did you ever play through the shadow broker DLC for ME2? After the boss fight you have access to a lot of personal as hell notes about the characters. You get to see extranet activity, personal transmissions, records of employment, everything. So I think the shadow broker posts will reflect deeply personal things or windows into your character about things that would normally never be shared nor expressed.


Like all the fanfiction Serena SOME PEOPLE may write.

@Fallenreaper If you're able you can probably watch the final bits on youtube to give yourself an idea. Some of the shadow broker notes are really insightful for your faves and can also be totally ridiculous like the top five songs Garrus plays through his visor.

Exactly :). They're gonna be our chance to share things our characters would rather be buried 6 ft into the ground before sharing with another soul.

Worse part, I might use it for more serious stuff as I can't really think of anything Vellios would be embarrassed about. XD

That's totes fine as well. You could use it even as a springboard for Vellios's loyalty mission (if there will be one).

In Nova, we also had the shadow broker posts being emails within the ships network. Some fun stuff there.

I go away for one day and the IC triples in size o.O

Sure, we'll dump you all off on a moon while we do our thing and come back for you. ;D

A quick and largely irrelevant note about the Extranet, it isn't instantaneous like it is in the games for most civilians. It works by sending priority information packets through relay buoys across the galaxy, where emergency military and government stuff takes priority and can do things like real time streaming, whereas basically everyone else has to buy packets of various speeds. This means depending on what you pay for, your packet can take hours, days, or even weeks to go through.

So basically, how I imagine things being set up, a user subscribes to whatever sites or services they're interested in, the most updated information gets sent to them, and any activity they do is sent back out in the next packet. It won't make a huge difference, but it may put a serious damper in your porn browsing in space.

Stuff like emails I imagine can work like a local area network and go real time.

Either way, odd bit of trivia I thought I'd share.

I'm considering one or four... namely as I don't want anyone excluded from that if they wish to be apart of it. In my mind, trust needs to be layered and options presented, rather than one single mission that instantly gets you loyalty. That was the one thing that bothered me about ME2 and I wished were more of. It also provides more in depth to his character and history. Though a note: if you want to learn about Vellios and try to research his history, his bio is public information save for auditions with the Spectre program though it's pretty clear he failed, else he wouldn't be on the ship. However, you might discover exactly why he didn't make the cut.

Posted. Duuka's in the kitchen and talking.

I'll come up with a shadow broker page and loyalty mission... Through I might hold off on the shadow broker page until Duuka's actually done something to be worth monitoring.

I don't think there is any rush for loyalty missions. Shadow broker posts are also optional and fun, not required, just in case anyone was getting the impression they were mandatory...

Derv will update the OP when hes out of hospital.

I'd love to, but when your laptop takes like 20 seconds to load a page on hospital internet, little shit like that takes a backseat to hoping lag doesn't make you accidentally delete or overwrite huge swaths of everything else.

When I get discharged, I plan on doing the house cleaning busywork.

Ho-hum.
