Out, out, brief candle!
Life’s but a walking shadow,
A poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more.... That was Shakespeares take on gaming and DLCs, what order do you do them in and when?
What's on your mind?

Lots of great work out there in the fandom. Tag any videos that feature nudity from the games with NSFW so no one gets any awkward surprises with onlookers.

When I come across a game series as interesting as Mass effect. I find myself curious as to why some games in the series receive so much criticism. I have found some really strange excuses as to why Mass effect Andromeda is a terrible game. I disagree with this statement but to each their own I suppose.
Out of all the really strange answers. I found this one the weirdest. Which was that they hated the game because Pathfinder Ryder isn't the new Commander Shepard. I found this really odd because they aren't meant to be the same character. Shepard's background and personality is completely up to the player. This why ever choice even gives Paragon or Renegade points. It's how character development is measured.
The Pathfinder is completely different. Whether you chose play as a female or male character the background is the same. They are siblings who are trying to follow in their parents footsteps. One sibling becomes a researcher and the other a soldier. Their roles in the Alliance were relatively minor. This why when the player character becomes the new Pathfinder.
It is an overwhelming experience. One minute waking up from cryo. The next minute everything goes to hell and people die. Then suddenly responsibility is knocking on the door and slapping the Pathfinder in the face. They have to grow into the role which makes the journey interesting. As opposed to Shepard who is a natural born leader and was trained to make decisions that shake the galaxy to its core.
This idea that a game sucks because, it has the audacity to be different. Is completely ridiculous. So this my opinion. Anyone unsure whether or not to play each game. I say try each one form your own opinions. Instead of jumping on someone else's bandwagon. The only thing that matters is if your having fun.

How does ls it that the hamster people have the high score. I don't care if Barla Von works for the Shadow Broker. There's no way In hell a oversized hamster in a rubber suit; beats Aria's high score.
in ME: Andromeda
1. When speaking to Jaal (i just got him) there was a dialogue option which appeared to have two people with hands on each others shoulders
What does this mean? Is it a bff thing rather than romance
2. When does the radiation clear on Eos because there are missions I can't do due to level 3 radiation

Who writes this cheesy dialogue. ? Trying to watch Tali and Garrus flirt with each other is awkward. Like watching a train get derailed then stomped on by Godzilla.

I made a mistake in life. I never got into Mass Effect until recently.
I had heard that is was really good but I just never got around to playing it until recently I just decided screw it and started. It took me a bit to get into the first game but by the second I was so captivated by the story it blew my mind. I have never had any fictional work draw me in so much as Mass Effect. I have just now finished the third game and I am so thankful for the journey which has gotten me emotional as hell
Now all that’s left is to wait for a possible continuation in which I have hope.
Should I also play Andromeda? I know it’s gotten a mixed reception and isn’t about the main characters which is why I’m a bit hesitant

So I was thinking. In the next Mass Effect, I would really like to see more Batarians. Even tho in the Mass Effect trilogy, the Batarians were primarly bad guys like Mercs, and hated humanity, I'd really like to see them more often and play a bigger role in the next Mass Effect. Any thoughts on this? Does anybody else agree?

Mass effect 3 was some odd fetch quests. Citadel- heating unit stabilizers is one such quest. As after completing it the Salarian's wife wants to name the first child after Shepard...um my character has Such and odd name .
Alphonse Shepard
his name comes from.Ferdinand -Alphonse Hamelin. The founder of the orphanage Shepard was raised in on Earth. Hamelin',s namesake was French Admiral serving under Napoleon Bonaparte. In Salarian with such a name is asking to be ridiculed
So now to the point second part of this post. What are some odd character names you have come up with?
in General
The Arena has to be my favorite spot on the Citadel. I have aquired both the Paladin and the Black widow. All it takes one day of area battles. I think they're worth the effort

So your partner has threatened to leave. Your friends won't go to the pub with you anymore. Even your dog hides behind the couch when you enter the room.
We've all heard it before... I didn't like it. It didn't make sense. Why the weird glowing eyes?
Well money were your mouth is time people. I don't want to hear if you liked it or not. I want to hear how would you end it? And what would you have done next?
