The Tempest thread (confirmed 100% weaponry free)

The Normandy has all kinds of armaments, yet Shepard and crew still have to take out AA guns ON FOOT. What good are the Normandy's guns in this situation?

Yes, mission was not adapted for the Normandy usually. EDI said something like the Normandy can't reach some areas, so she could accompagn the crew.

Ya I remember seeing that on tumblr I think. Well there is Tyranny for that, really short but fun game. I prefer my space theme games with positive vibes and featuring a hopeful future.

I don't think that is what pdusen implied. Just that when we knew the title from the leak and then the first trailer a lot of people talked about that possibility, which is clearly not the case right now. At least for this game. 

I just repost some statement from my topic:

For example we ride on mine. Wheel is broken. 20 soldiers are running to us. What is better:

a) go out and encouter with 20 soldiers?
shoot 15 of them from inside with turrels and then go out and encounter with 5 soldiers?

Taking into account that fact that our team is armed and will encounter numerous enemies, isn't it more logical to replace our exploration vehicle with combat one?

Hahaha.... sometimes you have to roll the hard six and use that vile gun and bring in the cat.

That one thing that actually may happen. Just like having the Tempest and the Nomad be weaponless doesn't match the fact the player himself will be heavily armored and heavily armed, I wouldn't be surprised if we have stuff like people saying how the Ai is about human ingenuity and the desire for exploration and 5 minutes later you're slaughtering the very people that made the trip.

You're missing the point.

Arctic expeditions and forest rangers know what to expect, and they are armed accordingly. They don't need grenades and rocket launchers, because they know that a good old hunting rifle would do just fine against a polar bear or grizzly. They have 0% chances to meet a T-Rex or stumble onto the Al Qaeda training facility. ...Well, the latter might still be possible but veeery unlikely.

Considering everything we know about our 'local' MW worlds by the 2184, it would be like heading out into the arctic expedition with nothing but a swiss knife.


And I'm too lazy to multiquote that part about killing a TM on foot - I need to remind you, that Shep is an N7. Also, Krogans did not have to kill it during their rite - they only had to survive. Rex and Shepard are the only ones who had actually taken her down. Not that it changes things for the 'officially noob' Ryder.

Sure it seems nonsensical right now, but is it possible maybe that guns and stuff is something we can add to the Tempest and or Nomad at a later time in the game, like an upgrade?

You know, possibly after we get our haunches handed to us by an unidentified hostile alien ship proving the foolishness of being a tin can with no proper defenses other than lifting tails and fleeing?

If this question has already been asked and answered, my apologies.

Then why would you use "we" in your request if you were actually asking someone else to ask Walters about that?  At any rate, I think the OP has actually said he would fire off another question to him and has promised to post the response if he gets one.

Good question.

Hopefully at least the ark ships or the Nexus have some defense guns installed. We have 20,000 colonists to protect, after all.

I hope that we can at least utilize Remnant technology to upgrade our Tempest and Nomad with weapons. I mean the whole idea of not brining weapons into a potentially hostile galaxy is absurd, but ignoring the integration of this highly advanced tech into your vehicles at least as a deterrent when they can use it for their ground forces would be completely asinine.




What are the Tempest crew going to do if they encounter a hostile alien species capable of space flight, have Ryder lean out a window and take potshots?
