@Battlegrinder I think you're taking an excessively restrictive definition of Lovecraftian. Lovecraft himself wrote several stories in which Lovecraftian Horrors fail and are injured. In both "the Shunned House" and "the Dunwich Horror" some sort of Lovecraftian Horror is implied or stated to...

ME 1 also establishes that the Reapers built the Mass Effect relays - the galaxy-spanning network around which galactic civilization is based. This isn't replicable, they are the only means of long distance space travel in the main mass effect series, up until ME2 no mass effect relay had ever...

This is what I hated most about the ending. See, I get that it makes sense, but it cheapens the conflict. The Reapers in ME1 and ME2 were gods, Lovecraftian Horrors which were "beyond comprehension," terrible and inexplicable beings "without beginning or end," so vast that even one's corpse...

When I was playing ME1 last there was a glitch on Ilos that made it so gravity was reduced when you were in the Mako, so it would jump into the air at the slightest bump and the hang time was ridiculous so you'd just be stuck in the air for ages. There was a timed Mako segment on Ilos and that...

This is a tragedy. They should be striving to do the opposite. I want the Mako to handle even worse.

Wouldn't that be really late in the game for a squadmate?

Eh, I think that's kinda underselling things. Ashley's colony was wiped out by Geth, and IIRC Garrus had been working the Saren case until it got nixed by his boss, it fit with his character for him to want to see that to completion. When it comes to the reasoning, ME1 did have the advantage of...

Jacob wasn't so much annoying himself as it was annoying to talk to him, because my first time playing I wanted to get through all the characters dialogue, but Jacob was just so boring. Miranda was interesting but she's just so unpleasant the first few times you talk to her. And with most of the...

Eh, ME2 had more characters, particularly squadmates, who were just unlikeable. I think I was annoyed every time I had to talk to Jacob, Miranda, or Jack. Even the weaker characters in ME1 I never really minded talking to. On the other hand, ME2 had some fantastic characters as well, like Mordin...

Maybe it's just me but I never really got getting upset over lack of fanservice (or reduction of fanservice) in vidya. Sure, it's not being cut down on for the same reasons I'd want it cut down on. But it's degen anyway, so whatever.

Don't really get the appeal, tbh. Bald and covered in tattoos just screams unresolved issues.

Eh, fair enough.

ME3 rescued her from the scrappy heap somewhat but ME2 Jack was a mess.

The difference is pretty thin tbh. Especially in media.
