All this #savemasseffect drama and this is what im thinking about!! Yes! Save mass effect!

My N7 Windbreaker lost its zipper the day before the shutdown (yeah....). I got it back in 2018/2019ish my senior year after getting poor kid finaid on a college tour. The zipper had N7 on it and was rectangular-form.

Core memories with that jacket and a lot of life since.

I want to replace the zipper but now im worried I won't be able to. I was thinking about pinging bioware. Does anyone know if anyone has a loaner from a broken jacket or knows a guy?

Its my favorite article of clothing and has been through hell with me. ​I just dont want this to be it. It won't be the same with a normal zip.

I recommend everybody try this great game: the squad and their arguing are great, combat and the story, too. Try it!

We know that the Reapers only target advanced civilizations whenever they sweep through the galaxy, ignoring 'lesser' species such as they did with humanity in the Prothean cycle, and likely the yahg in the 2186 cycle.

We know that they aren't committed to wiping the galaxy clean of all traces of the species they've harvested or there wouldn't be the Prothean archives on Mars or the ruins found through ME 1 & ME 2.

We know that the usual Reaper strategy is to capture the Citadel, which they assume has become the galactic capital, at the start of their invasions.

Is the idea supposed to be then that each species that is considered 'Citadel-adjacent' constantly uploads census data and the Reapers use that?

What if a group of asari & krogan go off together, just disappear into unexplored territory, and establish a low-tech colony somewhere? Could they survive the Reaper invasion completely untouched or would they still be hunted?

This is part of an ongoing series looking into the galaxy of Mass Effect, and all the strange environments we see, or don't see, throughout the course of the trilogy. See my first post here for more details.

Galaxy Map - Day #6 - Nimbus Cluster

Explorable: ME3 Only

Territory: Outer Council Space

Systems: 4 (Agaiou, Kallini, Mesana, Pelion)

Name Inspiration:

Everything in the cluster is named in the asari fashion, with the known names including mythological heroes, mythologised historic figures, and gods. We don't usually hear a lot about non-major religions and mythological figures besides Athame and some of the drell pantheon from Thane, so these lore tidbits are always neat to chew on. 

Some Points of Interest

1. Lessus - The world that hosts an Ardat-Yakshi Monastery aka "this is where Mass Effect 3 turns into a horror game". Despite being over 1800 years old the colony is deliberately kept fairly small, I'm guessing so that if any AY escape the monastery it's harder for them to hide amongst the crowds. Or maybe just because it's a world with poor soil, virulent diseases, and slightly-too-high-for-comfort gravity and the asari have better prospects. Unclear.

2. Carcosa - Another world with a long-dead alien civilization on it, although this one looks to have not been the fault of the Reapers. The asari researching the ruins believed that the previous inhabitants accidentally destroyed their world with a runaway greenhouse effect from over-industrialisation and pollution before the Reapers ever got around to them.

3. Trategos - A frozen ocean world, with seas that remain liquid only at the equator. The asari colonists of the planet used their submarines to hide from the Reapers beneath the sea ice, and fought a guerilla war against them by attacking from beneath the waves.

4. Vylius - bears the name of an asari mythological trickster (because every culture has to have a designated Tricksy Bastard) who… seduces young maidens and then forces them to give birth to hideously deformed offspring. This charming tale is used as a warning to young maidens not to mate carelessly.

Discussion:

The huskified asari are pretty scary, and we see the huskified versions of a handful of other races - the rachni, turians, and batarians, as well as the krogan-turian hybrid Brutes. We don't see any of the other races huskified though - which of the other races would you have liked to see in husk form? What kind of enemy do you envision them being?

Ordered a custom wedding ring engraving before the Bioware shutting down news, very sad. Very happy with the ring though, don't get me wrong! It was custom made by an amazing artist!! And I have absolutely no regrets, as my husband and I are huge fans.

I have all ship upgrades the Heavy Ship Armor, Multicore Sheilding, and the Thanix Cannon but the Hull Breach still triggered is it supposed to happen or is this a bug because I'm very confused. This is my first Mass Effect 2 playthrough. Any and all help is appreciated.

This is a great essay, I think it describes BioWare's legacy, way better than all EA apologist takes I have seen posted around Reddit.

Strange request... I need a good quote, 4-6 ish words long that could go under some art of the Citadel.

Someone asked me for help and Im struggling a bit!

So I love the biotics and I love using lash to make enemies fly, but I find myself doing next to nothing against heavy enemies like atlas mechs. I've tried using heavy pistols, smgs, and assault rifles (specifically the CH that a lot of people suggested). So, I'm switching it up. Obviously I can't switch classes mid game, but I'm going to use a fully upgraded claymore with ultra light materials. I may switch back to CH for leviathan and thessia due to ravagers

UPDATE: I realized the Claymore only works with Vanguard because I usually only need one shot to finish off enemies, but that's not the case with adept. Using the CH for now

UPDATE 2: Yes, I am triggering biotic explosions AND I've been taking the proper squadmates with me. Hell, I took Garrus and Kaidan with me during an attack on the cerberus launch base thing that ends with you fighting an Atlas and it still took forever to take down because apparently two overloads aren't enough to get rid of its shields.

Wasn't expecting this when I loaded the game up

Iam currently using defense matrix as it has some ranks which gave damage protection and boost to tech power. However i also like to use gun (mainly bloodpack punisher) so am wondering if am missing out by not taking ammo as bonus. Is defense matrix really worth more than say warp ammo or AP ammo ? My fav ammo is incendiary but i guess u cannot get it as bonus for engineer.

It's the end of an era BioWare gone, mass effect 5 cancelled. I thought I would play some mass effect, and it still holds up to this day. it feels like yesterday I was waiting in line for mass effect 3 at EB games when I was 16, I feel so old those were the good old days playing games after school not having to worry about rent, I would pay anything to get that wonder back. I will end this sad note with blind rage rant at EA. F##K YOU!!!!!! EA, you took my happiest memory's and you shitted on them.

I’m ultimately very content with the Mass Effect Trilogy as it is, I hope someday we get more but if this is all we get. I’m grateful for the ride we had.

I’ve done a playthrough on, I think, all the consoles that Mass Effect is on. This is my first on my Wii U that I recently purchased second-hand. The gamepad has been so awesome to play on. Wish the trilogy was on here.

Does anybody else wonder what each species considers to be physically beautiful? I know Turians admire waists, but I’m curious about everyone else.

Was lucky enough to get some of the Dark Horse figures. Waiting on Liara (in route), Thane (pre-ordered), and Mordin (pre-ordered).

Slight resemblance, but I dunno, for some reason she reminds me of her. If there was a backstory to this Asari character and it was live action, she’d be my pick to play the part.

Hi 👋, I’m new, but I wanted to ask those around who like neon giant and the accent, what would you think if Ea, while probably not bring the few people who were still at BioWare back so we might not get them finishing the game they were working on, licensed the Mass Effect Ip out to neon giant for them to make their own mass effect game after No Law comes out? I loved the Accent as soon as I saw the trailer and played it on PlayStation extra and immediately bought it out right and am planning on repurchasing it now that I’m moving my stuff over to pc and steam, and now that I think about it, I believe it was the closest thing I’d played since Mass Effect 2-3 that had that feel and vibe mass effect had with great new features and ideas thrown in without actually trying to be a spiritual successor, from the world, background and supporting npc, to the synth hitting just right when you get in gun fight like your shots are actually adding to the beat. On top of No Law having that same vibe of choice and player freedom BioWare was know for back in the day I just thought seeing a potential Mass Effect game from Neon giant, but wanted to see what so others might think?
