I liked Brynn. Thought she made a damn good addition to the game and I’m happy Jacob at least got something out of it. But Seph is right, the small group of people that went out on a limb and romanced him in the 2nd game seriously got fucked over. More-so than the ones that romanced Thane. Not much, but even with Thane, you at least get his loyalty in the final moments of his life. But Jacob, haha you’re pretty much SOL.
Anyways, I don’t have a lot to do this morning so I’ll make a quick list of things that doesn’t matter that I found great / terrible with the games so far
Best drunks -
My all time favorite drunk is FemShep in Mass Effect 2. And even though it takes a LOT to knock her on her ass and eventually throwing up in the floor of the men’s bathroom, what she says is probably some of my favorite moments spent playing that game.
"Hell yeah! Put more of the stuff in the thing ...that the stuff goes in"
A very close 2nd best drunk would have to go to Tali. I think my eyes bugged out of my head when she called Miranda a bitch. Little innocent Tali just ripping that woman a new one. Oh man. Made me laugh that much harder. Well that, and the emergency induction straw… port (you know what she means)
A very small handful of funny moments -
In the 3rd game, which doesn’t have much at all as far as fun moments but when Shepard is talking to Legion and he backs up to the opened shuttle door and she gives him this crazy look and asks, “Wait, you’re not gonna….” then he stands up straight as possible and drops backwards out of the ship. Hahaha, don’t ask. I laughed so much at that. Especially my femShep cuz of her eyes. That was the best expression ever.
The very best line so far delivered by Garrus is when you fudge up your shot to make him feel superior in the 3rd game. That was great. Even better if you’re romancing him because he actually takes Shepard up there and twirls her around on her feet and sweeps her into one arm and plants a very sweet kiss on her lips. Wait…. That should be an “awwww moment” not a funny… ah to hell with it! I loved every second of that cut scene. Riza Shepard was very happy too.
(All time favorite moment of ME 2) The high volus. Oh man… you have no idea how much that little guy cracks me up.
Volus - “ I am a biotic GOD! FEAR ME!”
If you get Kasumi before heading into C-Sec, when the turian scans the party and the alarms sound. She wigs out. “I swear I didn’t touch anything!” Suuuuuure Kassi, whatever you say ; )
I could keep going but I wont. Have to say, my favorite of the 3 is easily the second game. Although I still think I like the 3rd over the 1st, I just… not sure. Oh yeah, I was pissed as well when I thought I’d get to go and have a mission on the elcore’s home planet. I made sure I went in search for it but once I got there, all I could do is scan. That was a fucking rip off. Never said I wouldn’t want an elcore in my party. Although I’m sure they’d be about as handy as a hanar…. Fun to talk with and watch, not much else.
Sad moments -
Basically 93% of Mass Effect 3? Okay, maybe not that high of a percentage but damn near close. I know now that I’m going to convince Mordin to work on the catalyst instead of distributing that fucking cure. Not sure how Wrex and Eve are going to react to it, but damn it to hell, I want Mordin back! And Legion! Of course I’d want Thane as well, but after hearing how badly he was breathing, it tore me up inside. Why the hell that drell wouldn’t just place himself on the list for a lung transplant really pisses me off. He’s so damn hard headed! Reminds me of my dad -.- Would rather suffer and die early than to seek medical attention that would help him feel more comfortable in the long run. Anyways!
Pissed off moments -
Eh, goes hand-in-hand with the sad moments. Pissed I couldn’t have more time with Thane/ Kolyat. Pissed the endings in general were pretty much three shades of grey. Pissed that I chose to help Wrex instead of getting Mordin out alive. Pissed that Legion followed in my paragon footsteps and gave his life for the sake of thousands of other geth. (can you even save him?) Pissed… well, hmm. I’m not really angry about James Vega, but I have to admit he did come off as some Neanderthal. Chest pounding, dominate male that assumed he could sleep with my Shepard simply because he was a male. Psh, don’t even get me started on Traynor or the one IGN reporter chick. Seemed like every time I was turning around, SOMEONE was flirting heavily with my femShep! I understand… end of the world and all, you need to get laid. And she did! But by Garrus ONLY! LoL, it was just… idk. They freaked me out.
Oddly enough? One of my favorite characters they introduced into the last game was Steve Cortez. Honestly, I had no clue I’d warm up to him as much as I did. But I did. Sure, if you’re a woman, he’s not going to flirt with you. Not at all. But he was such a sweetheart. Very loving, and supportive. Maybe that’s what my Shep needs, more friends like him instead of the ones with the hidden agenda to try and see what she’s got under her armor -.- And FINALLY! I can say without a doubt I was not turned on slightly by him! He was… uh, like Tali, Jack and Kasumi. Just another lady? LOL LOL no no no no not that, although I can’t see him in the same category as Thane, Garrus and Legion. Not by a long shot. Maybe Kaidan. Psh, no not Kaidan. I respected him more in the 3rd game but seriously? Kaidan AND Ashley still got on my nerves! Played both ways too. My original play though I saved Kaidan so I played ME 3 with him alive. This last one where I got the green ending, I played as Riza Shepard where she kept Ash alive. They are so… so…oh God Javik. I wanted to shove his self righteous bullshit right up his tailpipe. I liked the idea of having him after a while, but his fucking attitude alone condemned him to the same category as Kaidan and Ashley.
Anyways, this was a massive post (pun? Honestly, didn’t mean for it to be but now that I think about it, ha!) I’ll hush. Maybe add more to it later on.
EDIT -
Found one more reason to love ME 3. Well not that I'd ever see this in my game because i'll never play a male character. Still, this is great! Only avaliable if you've had the balls to romance Jack in the 2nd. Still.... lol this is why I love her character so much. Always speaking her mind, even to the bitter ending
