EXTREMELY Unpopular Opinion: I think the Mass Effect 3 Endings were... Fine.

EXTREMELY Unpopular Opinion: I think the Mass Effect 3 Endings were... Fine.

I get why people have issues with them but I feel like in terms of the options we were given (Destroy the Reapers and all Synthetics, Assume Control of the Reapers yourself, Merge all Synthetic and Organic Life, Refuse all the options and let the Reapers win) I felt satisfied with them.

Besides, worse endings have and will continue to exist after and in comparison, to those, I think Mass Effect 3 at least worked. It wasn't 100% satisfying but I feel like it got the trilogy over the finish in a way that would made me feel okay with it.

In the end, do you think Garrus truly deserves his reputation as the "best" character—not just as a character in his own right, but also as Shepard's best squadmate and best friend?

Been wanting this tattoo for 10 years since I first played Mass Effect 2

so glad I can honor my favorite series in a special way

The “Mass Effect Feeling”

Does anyone else just a warm, familiar, relaxing feeling playing these games?

For some reason when I started playing ME1 & now ME2, I got such a wave of… something.

Like, more relaxed than many other games, maybe it’s the story? Is that a testament to how good the writing is? The world building? I think it’s everything combined.

I’ve just never had this feeling with any other franchise that I can think of. I guess Elden Ring has a comforting vibe, but that ends when I get my ass kicked.

Finished painting my 3D printed N7 helmet

I’ve still to install the visor when it dries, but I’m really happy with the result. The file is from Do3D, if anyone wants to make their own

Can I just say how much I LOVE the Virmire mission? (ME1:LE)

I played through it again last night. Every bit of it, from start to finish, is top-notch.

Borg Vs Reapers

In a full scale war. Who do you think would win. My dad and I have been having this debate for a month now. He is on the Borg side I’m on the Reaper side. I’d like to hear peoples opinions on the matter. This a full scale conflict not a one on one.

Edit. I’m going with the Borg from the TNG area. So the Borg from TNG and Voyager.

Mass Effect Voice Actor Spotlight #11: Maggie Baird

Next under the spotlight is the voice of our warrior monk mommy- Maggie Baird! She may not be mother to ardat-yakshi in real life, but she is the mother of Billie Eilish! Talent must run in the family, because she does a great job bringing a calm, somber, dedicated, and caring vibe all-in-one to the character!

What do you think of her performance?

This is one of the most powerful quotes in the game. Specially coming from Eve

Knowing what Eve and the Krogan females have experienced, it really puts into perspective how strongwilled she is.

One my favorite new characters in 3.

Why did the Geth exterminate almost the entire Quairan species instead of just defending themselves in during the Morning War? And why was this near total extermination of the Quarians not brought up during the Rannoch Arc of Mass Effect 3?

So in the Mass Effect Novel Revelations on page 116 it is mentioned that the Geth killed over 99% of the entire Quarian population. That means that the Geth killed almost almost entirely Quarian civilians and not the Quarian Police and Military who were the oness trying to exterminate the Geth. Also not to mention that in the Geth Memory Logs in ME3 you see Quarians who were standing up for the Geth to defend them while risking imprisonment or even death for themselves, meaning the Geth should know that not every Quarian wanted them dead and many wanted to protect them, yet the Geth killed almost all Geth sympathizers anyways. Not only that but they even killed non Quarians on Rannoch like the Baria Frontiers Representative's bondmate who was an Asari visiting Rannoch at the time and also attacked Council diplomatic ships attempting to communicate with the Geth? Why did the Geth kill almost every organic instead of just the Quarians who were trying to shut them down/exterminate them? And why did ME3 not mention this at all?

What would you say was the biggest mistake of your first playthrough of the trilogy?

I’d say my biggest mistake was failing to secure Zaeed and Miranda’s Loyalty in ME2 which led to their deaths in 3.

An evening in...

Enjoying their pied-à-terre on the Citadel (Their estate on a private island on Nevos is still being constructed)

First real night of peace since the Reapers were defeated. And after the clone business.

Oh, and they have set a date by this point! Tali and Ashley are already wanting to plan everything for them and are swapping ideas. And Joker is begging to MC.

AHEM, CEM, EGM, Gay Garrus Vakarian and Apartment Additions all active, among dozens of others.

Forgive the clipping; unavoidable due to the animations not being designed with a male shepard body mesh in mind.

Y’all lied to me

Finally got done with Mass Effect 2 and completed the Shadow Broker DLC after the suicide mission. Normally, I’d be happy because I love the Shadow Broker DLC because it’s the only significant amount of time I get to spend my hot, lovable, Asari girlfriend in that game, which I normally do after the collector ship. But now I feel like I got cheated.

“Do that AFTER the suicide mission” everyone says. “It’s better after the suicide mission” They said. But no, there’s no difference! Hell, Liara acts like I still haven’t done the suicide mission yet after we kill the Shadow Broker. And if someone gives a “valid” explanation as to why most people do this, I’m gonna be furious because I don’t want one. I played it after beating the game, and nothing changed, so don’t give me a reason, I don’t want one, I just enjoy ranting.

Fuck this!

I’m Commander Shepard and this is my favorite subreddit on the Citadel!!!

I’ve been seeing these “toxic subreddit” posts lately, and I just wanted to say that I think this subreddit is the LEAST toxic subreddit I know.

It is always so much fun to post things or discuss topics in the comment sections with you guys. Everyone is always so nice, and even when someone disagrees, the conversations in this sub feel very friendly and respectful.

Sometimes it feels like social media users have been getting more and more negative, so let’s spread some positivity instead!! I just wanted to show some appreciation for all of you!!! Keep up the good work, fellow Commanders 🫡🫶🙌

(P.S. I just knew I would get your attention with our favorite crewmate Jenkins) ✨

Discovered Photo Mode thanks to Ontarom

I landed on planet Ontarom last week and it was a breath of fresh air. The environment seemed perfect for taking some moody photos! This is gonna eat into my GeForce Now playtime.

Most Powerful Human Biotic?

I am doing a full replay of ME LE and just finished Jack's recruitment mission, which got me thinking: who is the most powerful human biotic in ME? Jack clearly can generate obscene amounts of energy but Cora Harper's canonical "huntress grade" biotics are also crazy powerful--especially if you read ME: Initiation. Although, Jack would probably have the more advanced bioamp, so maybe it becomes a question of who has finer control versus sheer power output.

(yes I know Andromeda wasn't that good, but I genuinely liked Cora's character)
