ME: RGB

Set Omni-tools to 'farm'.

What if the awfully awkward ending never happened, what if Shepard's choices really mattered, what if I got a bit carried away painting Tali's butt here.

Hold the line.


--
The extended ending DLC was released yesterday. Haven't gotten my hands on it yet, my version of ME3 is... Origin incompatible, as am I. I'm really curious about it, but I also feel it'd be quite a feat to make the end feel satisfying without actually changing anything. We'll see.

The girl from Rannoch

"Keelah Se'lai."


I liked the alternative 'tacticool' armor for Tali, maybe not as much as the original, but it seemed to finally protect that extremely fragile looking helmet-visor thing all quarians tend to leave completely unprotected for some reason.
Who knows, the visor itself might be made of whatever superbuckycarbonstuff and in fact be the most durable part of the quarian suits, bit like a chainmail bikini thing, or rather, a space marine thing: the less armor covering your face, the more invulnerable you are. In any case, having some visible armor plating on her head made me feel a bit more at ease.
I sure hope there are some additional optics installed, though.

The ME1 credits song had something to do with this too, sort of.

Mass Control


"We are the Ur-Quan Kohr-Ah.
We cleanse our destiny.
You will soon die.
Make whatever rituals are necessary for your species."

I was thinking again how much Mass Effect owes to Star Control 2 and this Reaper-Ah sort of jumped out of my head. I feel like I might refine this dude into some kind of proper...thing, but let's just leave it like that for now.
Kohr-Ah theme here.

Also, Tortugastuck Rose.
