[OOC] Mass Effect: Let the Galaxy Burn

[Anima]

You're totally fine Uriel. I wonder if Lillium will be joining us. If not, I'll post the roster here by evening. I've also got that intro in the works.

[ArchangelUriel]

HORAH! Thanks, boss. I kinda looked through the CSs to see what kind of character you guys didn't have to give me a better chance at being accepted so late. Turned out well from that stand point, even if it was unnecessary in the end. I liked the idea of a smart-assy Drell. I hope he meshes well with the crew.

A Drell is always a welcome submission ^^!

Like I said, please check back later tonight. I'll announce the six then.

Absolutely.

Creating a Drell was one of my first options, glad you filled that role Uriel :)

Everybody loves the Drell! Thane is tu-fira.

Especially since you know the magical ability to pull a Qui-Gon Jinn and become a magical "force ghost". XD Well only in the Citadel DLC... and only if you romanced him. But still force ghost! XD

Thane was one of my favorite ME characters, right after Garrus. Garrus Vakarian has a special place in my heart, and always will. He's one of the most memorable characters for me.

I liked the Bromance between him and Male Shep.

Oh my god, what the heck is up with these ponies? Someone has to change this, like, right now xD!

[Alarei]

Mahz is trolling us, lol

[Silver Fox]

Bwhaha Mass Effect Ponies!

My favorites are hard to pick.. I founs Tali adorable, Garrus pretty cool as well as Thane. XD

I felt that Tali was a very tragic character, I empathized with her quite a lot.

[Prometheus]

my pony is the prettiest.

Also, I didn't find Tali tragic, I thought she was one of the most hopeful characters in the series. In a way, I aspire to be like her. Her entire life, and all she aspires to is to bring her people a better world. At the beginning of the series, she's nobody, just a teenager who gets swept up in Shepard's journey, but by the end of the Reaper war, she's a hero to the galaxy in her own right.

Favorite character? MMMph... I have a few, all amazing in their own way. I think my all time favorite was Jack, because not only was her character development tracked, tangible and explainable, but unlike some of Shepard's other crew members, she could have very well had a game or series written around her. Or, to be clearer, if that were to happen, there would have been very few similarities between Shepard and Jack's stories. This compared to, say, Garrus, who is pretty much a turian Shepard without the Spectre status. She has a very clear Paragon/Renegade personality, without falling into stereotypes, which is very unique in the ME games. Favorite romance all around, at the very least, because it feels much more developed by the end of the series.

It always irks me that she was so snubbed for her loyalty mission in ME2, and then you only get a glimpse of her in ME3. She deserved more.

Thane's another favorite, because aside from being a jewel of a character (didn't bother with him much for the first couple of playthroughs - 3rd, 4th time around? Man, I'd missed out), his Citadel-DLC romance is absolutely one of (if not the) most touching moments in the entire series.

Kasumi gets an honorable mention for her loyalty mission, which is, I think, one of the most creatively inspired missions in the series as a whole. Seriously, it's what got me into the mass effect fandom.

[Anima]

God, this convo is distracting me! Anyways, I have my six. However, I'm looking through them again. I never thought I'd get more than 8 interests. This is really difficult actually.

[Derren Krenshaw]

My favorite ME characters would probably end up going like this:

1) Jack (spectacular character arc, more interesting romance option than most, I thought. Made a badass semi-paragon or truly terrifying renegade, depending.)
2) Kasumi (Loses points because she shows up in 3 less than even Jack. Amusing to talk to and a great teammate for missions, I wish she had a bigger role.)
3) Aria (Badass Asari crime lords are kinda hard to top... wait, this list can include non-crew members, right?)
4) Tali (She's absolutely adorable in a younger-sister type way. Never actually romanced her in any playthrough, just talked and watched her going 'aww, look at her grow up.')
5) Morinth (Why why why did she get completely shafted in 3? I know you weren't 'supposed' to pick her over Samara, but have you talked to her in 2? She's actually really interesting, like an Asari Jack who never got a chance for redemption.)

Though to be honest everyone's really close. The characters were the best part of the ME trilogy -especially in 3's citadel DLC... everything in there was pure, lovely gold- but those five stand out to me the most.

EDIT: OOoooo, the news will be broken soon.

*watches intently*

[Alarei]

I never got to play all the DLC, so I feel left out in that regard. I think the only DLC i ever had access to was the Zaeed DLC in ME2, and the Prothean DLC in ME3...and then the free DLC that improved the ME3 ending.

I'm tempted to buy the Trilogy for £40 however via Origin and then buy all the DLC that goes with it...

And the worst thing is that I bought the games on the xbox360, but I never transferred my saves over so all my choices were never saved and it sucked...so I may actually do that.

I'm running through the Witcher 2 again so that I have my save file prepared for when the Witcher 3 comes out on PC.

Oh, and *crosses fingers*

[Hexaflexagon]

Oh come on you people all know it goes

1: Mordin - Because he made me cry with his damn singing in 3 and I'm not ashamed to say that.
2: Wrex - Everybody loves Wrex he is Wrex
3: Garrus- Garrus Brokarian has the best bromance in all of videogames
4: Grunt - I just love Grunt because well he is like an overgrown kid with a shotgun
5: Legion- Because he has a soul and that is about it.

And we will all watch with baited breath...

Wrex was another great character, but because I never transferred my saves over, he was dead...which sucked...

I never got a chance to really bond with Mordin...I may change that if I buy the trilogy on Origin.

Yeah that does suck........ Having to deal with Wreav instead of Wrex is like.... well sad and empty on the inside

Mordin whole character arc if you just talk to him is wonderful, because you realize in the end past all of his idiocentricities and weird exterior. He is just a dude that did some things that he had to do, even if they were'nt the right things morally and how that is eating him apart. It just feels real and alive.

Let me tell you though managing to save everyone in ME2 makes; ME3's Citadel DLC even though it is the oddest and craziest mass effect DLC out there. (And the most fun mind you) Oh so much better.

Oh don't worry, I've saved all my crew in the ME2 suicide mission on both play throughs I've had of that game. I'm like one of those old school RPG gamers, ya know? I like to explore every side mission, every facet of every hallway, talk to every single crew member, and I love to play the good guy...the thought of being evil makes me cringe, I don't know, my moral compass just doesn't allow me to be able to make people suffer...

Even though in the ME series you don't play as the bad guy if you're a renegade...you're just like an antihero, which I guess is kinda cool.
