Does any one think they add anything? My heart sinks when one of those slow walking dream sections pops up and I have to waste 10 minutes of my life plodding through it.

Would it change the main ending?

Swap these two at the beginning of their journeys.

Sgt. Johnson is leading the away team on Eden Prime

Commander Shepard is giving a pep talk to the Marines on the Pillar of Autumn getting ready for boarding by the covenant.

Which ones, using their battle know how, leadership skills and Charisma makes it further through each other's story lines?

Better question, would Wrex and Johnson get along?

Could the Salarians and Turians have handled the Krogan expansion in any other way?

That’s my favourite screen.. i love it!!

This was a submission for streamily.live. It was a last minute drawing...took maybe 6 hours or so(on and off). They host voice actors from gams and anime and they choose art to sign and use at cons etc.

My heartt 🥺🥺

So i recently started playing mass effect 1 on the legendary edition. Honestly loved the game. I appreciate the amount of the lore they put in the game as well as the characters and how real they feel. Now obviously ive never played anything like this game before, so I thought that once the beat me1, I can free roam the game, but when I clicked resumed it started me at the fight with saren again. Confused, I end up beating the game again, making the same choices. Now when I go to me2, I have 2 saves that I can import. Save 1 and Save 2. Both have the same Shepherd name and level. So should i just pick Save 1 as it probably was the first one created as soon as the beat saren?

For example writing forth the ending of ME3 in the beginning of ME5 to make it plausible in hindsight.

Or making the whole story about finding Shepherd, while dealing with the aftermath of the reaper attacks. I don't have an answer but I like to hear from you what it would take to accomplish it.

The fact that Anderson casually dropped such a massive piece of foreshadowing so early in the first game, only for it to fly completely over my head, genuinely blew my mind. I wouldn’t be surprised if plenty of other fans missed it, too, simply because of how casually it was mentioned. I’ve played through the trilogy somewhere between 11 and 15 times, dating all the way back to the original releases, and somehow I’m only now realizing that Anderson speculated the Prothean beacon might contain blueprints for an ancient weapon of mass destruction. Little did we know, that would ultimately become the very solution to stopping the Reapers.

As much as I absolutely love this trilogy, the ending of Mass Effect 3, even with the Extended Cut, never quite sat right with me. I didn’t outright hate it, but I always felt the narrative direction was somewhat underwhelming, almost like a convenient way to wrap everything up. I assumed BioWare had gone that route because of development crunch, time constraints, or perhaps financial pressures. I never really looked into it and just chalked it up to one of those possibilities.

But hearing Anderson say this again genuinely gave me one of those lightbulb moments. It completely changed how I looked at the trilogy’s conclusion. The idea of an ancient weapon capable of destroying the Reapers was being floated from practically the beginning! Now I’m wondering if that was always the intended direction, and the real challenge during Mass Effect 3’s development was figuring out how to make that resolution work narratively while still giving weight to the countless decisions we’d made across all three games.

It doesn’t necessarily change how I feel about the execution of the ending, but damn, it certainly gave me a newfound appreciation for just how early the groundwork may have been laid. After all these years and countless playthroughs, I can’t believe I’m only just now connecting those dots.

Just finished the LE series yesterday. What. A. Ride. Like so many others, I'm left wondering how in the unholy eff I managed to go all this time without playing it, especially since I love big story-driven games like this. Even more especially given how much I love DA:O. The Shore Leave DLC was one of the best bits I've ever played in any game for the dialogue alone.

But man, I'm feeling the blues now! Honestly unlike any other game I've played. Probably the closest for me was Cyberpunk, given the same rather bleak story arc and ultimate ending choices. But this is hitting harder, probably because I played through all the games back to back, pretty much every day. Whatever it is, there's a pretty huge ME-shaped hole in my life right about now.

I've spent a few hours already combing through posts here, from debates over the right ending choice (team destroy here) to memes to hypotheticals about the future maybe-game. Just wanted to say... Y'all rock! Glad I found this subreddit.

How did the rest of you deal with this? I know the obvious answer is start a new run, and I'm sure I will at some point, but right now it just feels... Wrong. Kind sad, actually, weirdly like a betrayal (even more so thinking about a Renegade male Shep run, opposite to what I did). I bought the comic collection on Kindle to fill out some lore, but even a few pages into Redemption I'm feeling bleh because Liara was my romance across all three games.

Just time, I guess?

Had to be me. Someone else night gotten it wrong

Never sat down, and watch this whole Blasto ads before. This is actually funny, the whole thing was like 10 minutes long, and it's pretty coherent too.

Some of you may already know that a LEGO knockoff set of the Normandy is available in some retail stores... however, I’m not posting this to draw attention to the set itself, but rather to its miniature, abstract crew members. I believe this scale works reasonable well with the Normandy itself 😄 Can you identify them all?
