Mike Gamble is now Project Director at BioWare - What could he be in charge of?

Even worse is when people try to justify it because... she was... an archaeologist.  I'm like, wtf?  Talk about unrelated professions.

Tali was the biggest shift to me. ME1 Tali was basically a talking textbook with no personality. 

I would like to see either a proper continuation of ME:A (continuing the story so that we find out what happened to Ellen) OR a continuation of ANTHEM's story so that we find out about the Urgoth.

I am moderately excited for DA 4, I want to know what's happened to the Inquisition and to Solas, to the Eluvians and the Evanuris. I am very interested in the story that they teased about the Old World and the gods, and Solas' planned destruction of Thedas to bring his world back into existence.

But if there are elements from ANTHEM's gameplay that are going to be brought in to DA 4 ( like Co Op) I'd rather not see it done that way. It suits ANTHEM, but in DA's history...there is nothing about those games that I feel (personally) that would lend itself to 4 player Co-Op like ANTHEM. That is honestly one thing that I'm a little worried about. It's great for ANTHEM, I really don't think it would suit the world of Dragon Age.

But that is just my personal opinion.

Quite right.  But that's the scuttlebutt from what I am aware of, though I may be wrong.

The lion's share of my investment in BioWare games is due to the engagement with followers (and other crew members). Worlds and stories are interesting up to a point, but characters are what draw me in, especially when my PC can build ongoing relationships with them.

No followers, no interest from me. I'll go play The Sims or something moddable.

This is especially true when the main story is riddled with flaws, as is the case with Mass Effect. On its own, the overarching narrative has lots of issues that would not hold up nearly as well if not for the personal stories of the characters and their interactivity with my character. Heck, Fallout 4’s main story is junk, but I don’t care because I enjoy the followers quite a bit. 

I don't agree. The trilogy shows she's not squadmate material.

Are those the excuses you use to explain why she took Shepard's armor to put on display like it's a prize/trophy? Or made no attempt to tell anyone that Shepard's corpse was in the hands of Cerberus? She has mental problems. What about if Shepard treated her like crap? Shepard threatens to throw her back in the volcano. Even if I liked the character or romanced the character, I would want nothing more to do with her after the crap that is seen in the broker dlc. She has head problems. It's too bad Shepard can't ask those questions. In the broker dlc, there are 3 paragon interrupts. Here's what I would have for renegade interrupts


In regards of her becoming an information broker. It doesn't make sense. Throughout ME1, she says she's study the protheans for however long many times in the game. Even when on Ilos, she ignores the mission is about stopping Saren, by wanting to stay to study the archives.

The only success they had is helping Shepard stop Saren. The promotion was a very big leap especially for Williams. Both become a spectre. Why? It served no purpose in ME3. What's going to happen in ME4? Will they continue to follow in Shepard's shadow doing whatever or will the council have some use for them to do spectre stuff?

Her being an Admiral. I laughed at that. She leads two teams in ME2 that nearly have everyone killed. But that is par for the course in her case. Look at what happens when Shepard sides with the geth? Nothing. The quarian stands there like the dumba** she is by not doing anything while the geth uploads the code. Is that the role of an Admiral? I will give her high marks for the reverse swan dive. Maybe next time she could join the Olympic diving team. To get her loyalty Shepard has to not mention how much of a **** up her father was.

Failed? Garrus agrees since he mentions that in ME3. The first time seeing him, he tells his boss to stall the council without having any evidence. He should know better. He doesn't like rules and paperwork. Did he not know that when he first joined? Then he heads to Omega to shoot bad guys. After two years, he was still shooting the bad guys with no end in sight. Even if his team wasn't killed, the mercs eventually would have defeated Garrus and his team. Then he cries like a baby in front of his father. His father tired of his kid's whining, stuff's a pacifier in his mouth and takes him to see the primarch. The primarch makes him an advisor. Why? Garrus knows nothing. Hey Garrus, how do we defeat them? I don't know. What are the reapers weak spots? I don't know. How many are there? I don't know. And so on.

Ah yes, Wrex. He's one of the reason's why I sabotage the genophage. On Virmire he decides his shotgun will do the talking believing he will get what he wants. He could end up taking a dirt nap. So much for creating a future for his species. Why couldn't he just flip the bird at Shepard, then go get the cure himself? Because his shotgun wouldn't let him. The same thing happens in ME3, if the genophage is sabotaged. Instead of holding onto the audio file to give to the council as evidence that his species held their end of the bargain to use against Shepard, if they survived the reaper war, he ends of dooming them never to have any chance at having the genophage cured at all. Again his shotgun wouldn't let him do that. So much for creating a future for his species. And yes, he is dumber than his brother.

Regarding the VS, I always took the Spectre status push as a ploy orchestrated by Udina, since he was likely complicit in the plot to overthrow the Council for some time at that point. Shepard’s usefulness to him was likely nil to nonexistent. Not sure what he’d even need a Spectre for at that point, but it was clear he wanted someone who would be more amenable to whatever endgame he was aiming for, at least for a bit longer.

I do remember her asying that al Asari have basic biotic training whilst in school. But yeah she is very efficiemnt with her powers I suspect her mother ma yhave taught her a fwe tricks as well given she was supposedl yquiet wel known for her biotic prowess herself.

Yeah I don't see them doing it either. It isn't like call of duty it is more story oriented then combat oriented.

Thank you!
