Mass Effect Series

Wow, I've never really seen a ME3 game without Tali, let us know what that's like. Slightly spoilerish but she plays a big role in 3.

She's replaced in quests by the geth enthusiast Admiral (Xen, I think) who becomes considerably more batshit compared to how she was in 2. The last priority Rannoch cutscenes have Admiral Raan as the conversation stand-in.

They're markedly different cutscenes, which is depth that many Bioware fans may miss.

Spoiler

She hacks the geth in the dreadnought and makes them dance which brings this funny moment:

Shepard: How are things on your end?
Admiral Daro'Xen: The geth sent reinforcements to the bridge, but they were quite amenable to my hacking routines. Currently they're doing a lovely dance. Next they'll serve refreshments.
Ashley: She's not all the way sane, is she.

The only reason I know this even happened is because is under the Mass Effect entry for the Funny Moments trope. There's some very funny stuff there.

Ack! Spoilers! My eyes!

....Whoops.

[Splintered]

You know, I need to be careful about my money so I'll probably just skip this dlc-

fight alongside your squad – as well as the cast from the original Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2, including Urdnot Wrex!

Godamnit, just take my money you bastards

 

[Lex]

Did it really have to be on the Citadel though? I mean it's the only hub world in Mass Effect 3

But still, day one buy. I wonder how many characters they're bringing back from 1 and 2? I'll be watching the live stream demo on the 25th to find out.

^This, a billion time this. I need more of my bb Kasumi, my bro Wrex and Miranda in the game, they should've been squad members if you ask me.

I don't care if it's selfish, my femshep needs more time with her blueberry bondmate.

 

[Hisako]

fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffexcitement

 

[Joe]

Soooooooo this looks pretty nice. Playable classes seem to include:
- Female Turian (Lookin' hawt)
- AI Robot (It looks EXACTLY like EDI though so that's kind of weird)
- Krogan Warlord (With Biotic hammer)
- A number of human specialists (The blog post on bioware refers to some of the additional characters as Talon Mercenary,)
- GETH JUGGERNAUT (THAT IS ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE)
- PROTHEANS (nuff said)

WTF... a COLLECTOR squadmate

 

[Carlie]

Clearly the next step is a Reaper squadmate.

 

[Hisako]

or mini leviathans lol

like one of those miniature dogs except basically a humanoid-size Great Old One

 

[Lex]

NINE new troiphies/ achievements. It really is going to be huge isn't it? Can't wait.

 

[Carlie]

High Society - Go undercover to follow a lead

Please be Kasumi, please be Kasumi.

Perfect Host - Throw a party for your friends

Oh I'm loving that, hopefully some of my favorite characters in the same room, if they give me a scene with Wrex and Kasumi talking to each other I will die.

I'm interested in that arcade. I wonder if it'll be full-blown mini games or just simple stuff like Quasar.

 

[Carlie]

I hope is full-blown mini game because Quasar was boring.

Just a note for anybody interested. During their livestream for the recent multiplayer DLC, the bioware team were asked 'Why no Blasto for ME3 multiplayer'

They responded by saying "Well if you're hoping to see more Blasto, play the Citadel DLC next week."

[Hisako]

With uncontrollable excitement: I am very much looking forward to seeing more of Blasto's shenanigans.

Tell me your soul name bb.
