The mass relays acts like fertilizers since they speed up the growth of civilization to harvest/reap faster

I’m playing a sentinel in ME3 and my main weapons are a pistol and assault rifle to keep my power recharge speed low so Im curious to see what the best weapons in those categories are for a sentinel. Thanks.

I am a 28yo guy, a grown-up man, who just finished the trilogy for the first time...

And I am literally broken into pieces...

I don't know where to start, and I know my account is new and this maybe won't get approved, but I had to write a couple of words while it's still fresh.

Yeah, so, I had some time to spare and decided that I should give ME a chance finally after so many years... I didn't know much about the title as I was never drawn to it before for reasons unknown.

I guess it appears the Universe was cleverly saving it for the perfect time of my journey here on Earth.

Due to time constraints, like work, I ended up making this playthrough last for a month and a half, which did not help at all and the timespan made me even more attached to the characters and the story...

(But if I look at my aquarium, I can't say that for the Koi fish as well)

Mass Effect is the story of all stories, and there is no single doubt in that, it encompasses all our collective memory as a whole that later turned into various tropes which the Bioware team took and freshly envisioned again in order to... make us cry like little bi*ches...

Damn.

What started as a casual '' hey I wish I could find a game where I could immerse myself in for a while until the life stops to suck so much'' it ended up being ''me, a 7yo put under a spell where I get to live out all of my childhood fantasies that I envisioned with my toys''

And indeed, I would explain the Mass Effect experience like a powerful spell, that, judging by the comments of others, never quite lets you go... It's like that one significant crush, for whom you'll always feel a dull blow in the gut if someone mentions her even after a decade.

And finally, what adds to it the most... is true friends when I lack them the most in my real life. I still can't believe that my friends are characters in a video game.

My crew. My ship. Giving hell...

The best ride.

Feel free to tell me how you felt when you finished The Trilogy for the first time, I would love to hang out in the comments with you guys for a bit until it all sinks in.

Imma go now and fix myself a drink. A bottle actually.

P.S.

Speaking of lifelong crushes

~I'll miss you Tali... For real... Make sure the living room window is exactly where we said it would be.

I’ve decided to shed my years of dislike, as posted in a previous post, for Miranda Lawson and use her more. I’ve decided to romance her in ME 2 and keep her alive. I’ve totally misunderstood her character all this time.

Sooooo this maybe a very dumb question, I’ve never did a renegade Play through and I wonder if I can still romance all characters?

At the end of ME1, council acknowledge the reapers and in the next game, they go back to not believing in it and mock us. Then when ME3 came, they asks us what to do and begs for help

So I was looking for Aethyta in ME3 but she isn't there, and her talk page describes a solution, which is to leave and come back - but it says it has to be before the Cerberus attack. I'm currently way past the attack though, does it mean I missed my chance to meet her completely?

How do all of the different aliens understand one another? Do they all have some type of translation device? How would/does this device work? How did humans begin to understand other species? Are all languages understood (English, French, Dutch).

Miranda is my least favorite character and I’m trying to find a way to get her killed on the suicide mission without killing other members. I know the vent would be the most logical choice if here name was able to be selected.

1. Turian

2. Asari

3. Alliance

4. Salarian

This is my ranking.

*Spoilers* somewhat

Just finished mass effect annihilation and honestly I kinda went into it with resentment. Still wish it was a dlc but whatever. I was worried about this novel, I really was. Despite the fact that I love the Mass Effect games.

Speaking as someone who adores the Mass Effect franchise, even I have to admit that Andromeda, while arguably not as terrible as everyone says it is, was still probably the weakest in the series, failing to meet the high expectations set by the original trilogy in terms of both storytelling and character development.

So why do I love it???

To the Elkor doctor constantly quoting Shakespeare? Hell yeah! The Volus interactions were great, too. So snappily thuggish for little tree hugging bears. :) And I've always had a soft spot in my heart for the Quarians so that always gets a pass for me.

What really got me going, however, was the intense focus on the rest of the race in the ME universe. They have a big point, you know. Why do the Humans, Salarians, Asari or the Turians all get the whole manifest destiny thing going on while all the other aliens get left in the dust? Why throw the leftovers into their own Ark? Why do the same bodies that rule in the Milky Way still have to rule over the rest in the new galaxy?

OH AND THE ENDING!!!! SO UNEXPECTED. Had to reread a few time to fathom what I just read. This is a must read if you liked andromeda. It’s a short book probably a 6/7 hour read.

Playing LE ME1 and followers are remaining still, even though I call them to me. I'm xbox one by the way

It feels like turians are the citadel’s police force since they stop people breaking galatic law like humans messing with mass relays or the krogan rebellions.

Turians and humans is probably the most similar species
