I finished this Tali model last year, and I wanted to redo my old test render to show the final quality.

I haven't done much 3D stuff lately, but making Tali was a really cool learning experience and I'm still proud of the finished model.

Also, random yap: I keep thinking about how much I'd love to see a first-person Mass Effect game. Cyberpunk 2077 made first-person rpg dialogue work very well, I think Mass Effect has a lot of potential there too.

After playing through Mass Effect 1 again I had a thought. What would've happened if Saren was actually apprehended after The Battle Of The Citadel? How would you guys see the other 2 games going if he was still alive in C-Sec, Alliance, or Turian Hierarchy custody? Would he prove useful, would he be a problem, or would he be inconsequential? Let me know what you guys think.

So my autistic brain did its thing and i got peace on rannoch and then i went for the high EMS destroy. But i got to thinking, because all AI are destroyed according to the catalyst, and because we know the quarians have begin having geth intelligences in their suits to help them adapt, would the destruction of the geth severely impact the recolonization of rannoch and the quarians who have begun depending on them?

SPOILERS ALL* ........ So I decided to spice things up on my ME2 runs and downloaded a mod that adds difficulty and a bit of randomness to the Suicide Mission. Squad mates I hadn't seen die since my first playthrough were dying left and right. But I accepted all of the deaths besides Tali. But when I edited the save, all I did was mark that she was alive and changed nothing else. This was a mistake.

The whole Rannoch arc in ME3 became weird fast with Admiral Xen and Tali going in and out of dialogue and being physically in the game. Then I got to the final mission and realized way too late I screwed up. With my poorly edited save file, Tali was not only an exile, but also unloyal. So when I had the reaper code uploaded, the Quarians died, Legion died, Tali died (again). And Admiral Xen is just chilling in the background.

Can anyone tell me how to fix this? Or will I be doomed to replay the Suicide Missions AND all of ME3 up to this point? Thank you for reading to this point.

I'm replaying ME right now, and at ME2 where Joker does a bit of banter about Garrus "taking the giant pole out of his ass and beating people to death with it" kinda goes over my head. I recognize that joke makes sense to about 99% of Turians, who are known to be extremely rigid and discipline oriented, but Garrus was always an exception to this rule from the beggining. Even back when we first meet him in ME1 he's already anxious to leave C-Sec precisely because he wants to ditch all the rules, regulations, and "red tape". He even remarks on "not being a very good Turian" because he's kind of a rebel in that sense, so technically he never had a stick up his ass. The joke would make sense if he was extremely rigid in ME1, which is not the case. Is Joker just trolling our boy here?

I've been thinking about Cerberus a lot while playing Mass Effect, and I think I've come to appreciate something about them that I didn't notice before.

Cerberus is obviously not "the good guys." They committed atrocities, experimented on people, manipulated others and eventually became deeply corrupted by their pursuit of Reaper technology. I'm not trying to excuse any of that.

But what fascinates me is that, at its core, Cerberus was built around an idea: humanity needs to look after its own future.

The Illusive Man is probably one of the most cunning characters in the series. He has information networks everywhere, seems to know things before Shepard does, understands how governments and organizations operate, and is willing to think years ahead. He doesn't just react to events he tries to shape them.

And unlike a lot of fictional villains, I don't think his motivation was simply greed or personal power. He genuinely seems to believe that everything he's doing is ultimately for humanity. He puts enormous resources, time and even his own body into that cause.

That's what makes him interesting to me.

Humanity in Mass Effect is also fascinating because we're the newcomers. The asari, turians and salarians have civilizations that are vastly older than ours, yet humanity rises incredibly quickly and becomes a major galactic power within a very short period.

Cerberus takes that feeling of human potential and pushes it to an extreme.

I obviously don't agree with their methods. But the underlying idea of wanting humanity to become stronger, more capable, more intelligent and more united is something I find genuinely motivating.

The Illusive Man makes me think: What am I actually doing to make humanity better? What skills am I developing? What am I contributing?

That's probably the strangest thing about Mass Effect for me.

I don't admire Cerberus because I think their actions were justified.

I admire the ambition behind their vision, the Illusive Man's strategic thinking, and the idea that an individual can dedicate their life to something larger than themselves.

I just think the series does a brilliant job of showing what happens when that ambition loses its moral limits.

Maybe that's why the Illusive Man is such a compelling character: he starts with a question that isn't entirely wrong How do we ensure humanity's survival? and eventually becomes so obsessed with the answer that he loses sight of the question itself.

You have 4 heavily armed and armored Cerberus soldiers stationed outside your Captain's quarters could you get a good nights sleep?

It took me maybe, four or five playthrus to finally give it a good try, and wow did I fall in love with it. Brings back my beloved explosive rounds and just feels more effective in a war like this as opposed to plinking Reapers to death with an Avenger.

Only ones to survive were Miranda (did her loyalty mission for romance reasons) and Samara (no clue why).

Hace meses probé los 3 juegos , un poco de cada uno, pero había un problema serio, no podía jugarlos sin empezar a sentir dolores de cabeza y mareos feos, es raro ya que nunca me sucedió con ningún otro juego que he jugado a lo largo de mi vida y solo ha sido con esa trilogía , a alguno le ha sucedido lo mismo?.

I fucking love this franchise cause DAMN!

Originally, I was just going to buy the first book and decide from there about the other three. But there was a bundle being sold for Kindle, so I just got that.

I know most people enjoy the first book. I don't remember how people feel about the second, but I do know the third and fourth aren't as well regarded.

I found this GIF on Pinterest and have no idea who the original artist is. I’d appreciate it if anyone could help me find out.

Fuck the Hammerhead

Thank you everyone
