Staying Shepard: Character Consistency Within Mass Effect

Bob Mackay: From the very first Mass Effect onwards, many of these decisions have taken root in its two sequels. When you factor in the sheer amount of lore, back story, and character arcs contained within the series, the typical two-year break between games leaves players with a lot of information to store within their brains. But most importantly, how are we supposed to remember who this Shepard guy/gal is supposed to be?

"BioWare should be commended for building a series of games with such a tight continuity reining in their massive world".

No, no, No. Wrong. Bioware changed many things that were established in ME1 and it felt cheap and lame.

1Up does it again.

I expected nothing and I'm still disappointed

Like with Fallout, it's starting to feel studios are using TV / Film adaptations when they have no game info to talk about.

I feel the same way.

I mean, how difficult would it be for them to release SOMETHING of substance? Another short trailer? A couple of proper hints? A short story set during the original trilogy, but focused on fringe characters?

Hopefully they're working so hard on the game that they don't have time. But still, with every passing year and so little to show, the franchise will be slipping further and further from people's minds.

Yeah agree it's almost a cop out since Dev times are 5 to 10 years just throw out a few seasons instead you get them done in a year

I still haven’t beat Andromeda. I am waiting for a lull of good games in my backlog

P_Bomb187d ago

So the TV show will take place after the OG trilogy. I wonder which ending they’ll use?

Should’ve just posted a picture of an Elcor saying “regretfully, we have nothing to share.”

Good games but no Phantasy Star?

merlox1082d ago

Why do people forget Phantasy Star? That is one of my favorite RPG series. Another ther good but overlooked series is ,Y's.

ES3 set things off, it's a shame they got greedy and decided to cut corners so the executives could get huge pay days.
