Is the BioWare/Mass Effect fanbase really filled with triggered snowflakes?

Anyone have a link handy to a vid of Original Recipe Hainly? All this outrage and I've never seen either version of that convo.

That happens fairly often, doesn't it? Sets up a weird dynamic where I don't have Ryder talk to people because I don't want any more sidequests.

In other games I end up accepting more SQs for the loot --RP too, but that doesn't apply until after I've been informed of the sidequests. But the ME:A loot system falls apart after level 20 or so. XP should theoretically still work, but after the midgame I'm throwing points into abilities that I don't really like, since I've maxed or near-maxed the ones I really like.

Because it's rather poorly designed. The Jack of all Trades Approach doesn't really offer some kind of incentive other than being able to level up into the 200s. After experimenting a little, I stuck with my favorite 3 abilities and never looked back. Like you I just added points because they were there. Not because I wanted the particular skill.

Cool.

I have.

Let's be clear first, this thread isn't directed to insult the true fans of the Mass Effect series. It's about all those "special" folks who are tearing the franchise and BioWare apart by screaming ME3 being a failure just because of it's ending even if the game was a masterpiece, MEA was quite decent yet they treat it as if it's an abomination. About 85% of the ME fanbase never gives BioWare a break and rips their games apart for the smallest issues, they literally want EVERY BW game to average 90+ on Metacritic and get 10's everywhere. Just recently saw IGN's review of Agents of Mayhem, despite the game being buggy and average almost 75% of the comments were urging peeps to support Volition. Never saw anyone doing the same for BioWare. Congratz BW "fans", you've successfully killed an amazing franchise. What's next? Dragon Age? Almost tried burying down a great game like DA:I since they didn't like some of the features or probably NO reason at all just to hate by giving their nonsense excuses like "SJWs", etc.

I'm sure this thread will roast me alive for this...

Found it



It's pretty clumsy writing and not very realistic, but it's silly to compare too much with real life.  Computer game characters have only a few pre-recorded lines to define them, not the infinite options for any situation that real people do.  They always blurt out personal information, and this is just a bad example of the problem they all have.  I'd just say this piece of dialogue wasn't handled that well. 

Plenty of people have told me they are gay straight away, a couple have told me they are trans almost straight away.  More commonly in a bar / party situation than in the workplace though.

So all the drama was about this scene !!!!!!!!

I experienced a guy telling me he was gay .... he was my son.

I experienced a lot of things.

That scene was just clumsy all around, but the furor worthiness is low.

Bigots will be bigots. I say this, knowing full well I still use "" too often as a perjorative. It doesn't help that the gay man who I lived with for 3 years and performed the wedding ceremony for my wife and I, uses it that way often too. Old habits die hard, especially when taught so early. But I am conscious of it, and my heart knows the truth.

Sexuality is a pretty fluid thing in my opinion, and our current dominant religions don't have room for that, because at the heart those are systems of control by fear. Please take religion with a heavy dose of critical thinking.

The uproar over this scene was and is just part of the stupid culture we have created and fester in. People watch Bachelor in Paradise, for fucks sake. And like it.

We are all doomed.

No video link but I can summarize. You know the question Ryder can ask everyone, "Why did you come to Andromeda?" ? Well, Hainly's  reason for coming to Andromeda was to avoid having to explain to everyone she knew that she was now female. The irony being, of course, she immediately tells Ryder that she used to be male.  So much for avoiding that convo.
