Yeah, I know what you mean. ME has to keep being ME. But just another style of how you do experience it. Thats why a bit more horor, and thats like one of the reason you have to pay more attention to the smal details. Like forgotten notes, letters on the ground and stuff, lots of dead bodies and blood.

But of 'look' more like thorians, but especially a bit like the walking dead/left4dead, zombies of every available lifeform, but with clothes on except they are animals. The zombies should be killed this way: - first you'll have to bring their HP down (logic) - now to finish them you just HAVE TO make sure you hit the head. (or else they just keep trying to attack you, they can lose limps and stuff, but as long their head isn't destroyed they actually keep living, but without HP, just 1HP, which is there head) what makes it interesting for the gameplay, they are easy in small groups/alone but a big danger in larger groups/horder. - also they are in all kind of species, which are giving them each a special ability. Human zombie: typical zombie, just running and stuf. Krogan zombie = brute, Salarian zombie= crawling on the walls and stuff, asaari zombie = the one which is always trying to sneak you, turian zombie= zombie who is always able to track you down and etc. but they all do have the same weakness aim for the head. weapons like sniper, shotgun, heavyweapons are able to finish them in one shot if you aim for their brains, other weapons takes just a little longer. But they are big danger in big groups. No machines added at their bodies, pure organic, but race having a diffrent effect on this specific virus/transformation, like ripped off faces and stuff, they can keep moving forward without arms/legs just crawling zombies, just shoot them in the head. Their is only one kind of zombie which isn't based on a species. They are made by the Leviathans it self. In the this factory/machine which is activated under water. The robots transport them. The original zombies are similar to human, but with no face except a big jaw. They are coming out of eggs. This machine back on the planet is makin these eggs. With somekind of special formula. They are life created by the Leviathans, not succesfull life, but life in certain sense. They are organic and can kill. (good enough). Also the Great One is able to give them priorities by taking over their minds. He can't give them specificly orders like the machines. But he can give them a direction, like Hunger is one them or killing, he can decide to give them a priorty to attack a village or something, or prison/capture them with some kind of slime.
 * Also I have tought about these zombies not as husks.


 * these robots I have been talking about, are ancient robot armies of Leviathans time. they were being used to fight the little fights back on the ground. well, they are a bit similar to geth but more advanced and ancient, also there isn't really a programme, they are all conected to the Leviathans or in this case just only to 'The Great One', they are actually a bit the guards of these zombies who are releasing them. They are very strong (similar power to Harbinger when he took over a collector), but in little groups about 3-4-8-12. ALL these robots I don't know a name yet for them. Are all 'The Great One', you see? The Great One is able to control all this robots at once. He is the programme, without 'The Leviathans or in this case The Great One' these robots are useless. Their power source is 'The Great One' (a bit like having your own sims, you see how they work, or the great one is using them a bit like little puppets like you are using soldiers in games like Age of Empire) The Great One needed someone with little hands (like one ours species), to re-activate them, they are also a bit organic but just a really little bit, and were based on 'The Intelligence' of look, just like EDI was based on humans. There is quite an army of them, they are strong, but not enough of them to conquer the galaxy. The Great One realize that. These are located on the Great one planet. He needed the visitors to activate them, which leaded with what I mean, 'we have discover secrets, we didn't want to discover. We have opened the box of Pandora.' This machines are also the one who transport the zombies. They are all the Great One, that is their hardware. (don't ask how, they are just very advanced and ancient robots)


 * Now these could be the next servants of the last healthy Leviathan 'The Great One', which is having as purpose to save his own race of extinction of this unknown virus and to dominate the universe (they are apex race), but he ain't dead just a a whole lot weaker, he has to do a lot with his mind, controling armies and stuff, also this virus hasn't killed him, he is immume but has reduce his powers just a bit, also he can't have support of his brothers or sisters which are dying, a bit like fever, they can't do anything except swiming/floating arround, which is the last one able to control the machines/robots and zombies and this race who will serve them. Which I like to discus with you.


 * What kind of new race which is accidantly in this same system as 'The Great One', is suppose to serve them? What should they be like? A bit like Krogan they are just being found, and recently known as intelligentn they don't know lot about the universe yet. And got simple technology. Suddenly they are found by high tech aliens, who are willing to give them weapons and tech. Also this race is very religious. They have to believe that 'The Great One is their God'. Who evantually indoctrinats them. They are very close to them, so most logical choice to be chosen to serve them as new similar collectors. Only this is an entire planet with a race in huge amounts. They are given technology by 'The Great One'.


 * How do you think they should be like? I was personaly thinking, about somekind of Spider race. Arachnids type, also the entire genre is horror/survival. Spiders are scary so, they should look scary like intelligent living tarantulla's. All of them serving 'The Great One'. But they are now more advanced since the visit of the Great One and his machines. They do have a purpose similar to collectors, capturing people to make them slaves. I don't know what do you think?


 * Also what did you think about all the other stuff I said?
