On occasion in Mass Effect 3, you'll be invited to the Citadel to piss around with various NPCs.
... the good news is that this is more of a beginning of the game thing than an end of game thing, so the plot does pick up somewhat after we do a few of these.
Since we're talking about NPCs, here's the thing about Miranda in ME3: if she says to do something? Do it. Fast. Just trust me, when Miranda says jump, you're going to ask how high.
This first time, though, she doesn't have much for us to do. That's okay, let's go see if there's another Mass Effect 2 regular hanging around the Citadel.
Oh, shit, hi Kelly!
... that sounds like a joke, but you actually can tell Kelly to change her look so that Cerberus won't find her. I know it's the renegade choice, but trust me, do it.
Not too far from Kelly is Garrus! Apparently he helps the turian refugees when he's not busy calibrating the Normandy guns or assisting Shepard on missions.
... do you not just hate people like that?
Anyway, moving on, we --
This is in the game, I'm not being a shit.
Hey, let's see who's in the bar.
I'm not being a shit, again, this is also in the game, the horniest game there is.
Fuck you, Vega.
Anyway, we're also here to see Ashley in the hospital. When we enter Huerta Memorial Hospital, though, we get to see an old friend:
(You know there were fangirls who were mad over this? His first line in Mass Effect 2 was "I am dying," it's not like Bioware exactly sprung that one on us.)
Speaking of Ashley, we probably need to go peek in on her now.
HEY! Pay attention to this next bit, this is, like, actual factual plot that's about to happen.
NEXT TIME: The next people to talk to cause unsafe blood pressure spikes, you've been warned.
I liked how many previous characters they put in ME3, but it also made me sad because I wanted to play with ALL of them. Can you imagine the epic teamups?
ReplyDeleteSpeaking for my fangirl sistas: we were mad because if you romance Thane, he goes through a bunch of character development that you don't see if you were just friends. Basically being reunited with his son + love for Shepard yadda yadda he has reason to live and they plot dangled cure options. However in ME3 he is resigned to die whether you romance him or not, and his dialogue is really out of character after what you've been through (he also went through a writer change between games). So yeah, girls got pissed.
