I’m not sure if they updated the model or I just didn’t notice it before, but I like how you can really tell that Mordin is a very old Salaraian in the remake.

My favorite part about this I've found through save-scumming is how many of them also have identically-worded things that Shepard ends up saying (though usually it's top and middle, bottom seems to always be different from the others). It's not half of them or anything major like that, but I noticed several.And sometimes the three or so prompts seem completely identical, so there's nothing to suggest what Shephard will actually say, other than the position on the wheel, which can also be misleading.
Yeah, the timeline makes no sense to me. How the he*ck are humans so thoroughly integrated into galactic civilization? Feels even weirder in Omega.- The timescale in Mass Effect feels a bit weird. Like, it's only been 26 years since first contact between humans and aliens? That feels short, given how comfortable most of the humans seem to feel in the Citadel. And 50 000 years feels recent for the Prothean extinction. Most of the Citadel species would have evolved by then - Homo Sapiens definitely had. And Asari lifetimes are already in the thousand year range!

Most of the humans I remember encountering were pretty young, probably half or more were born after the war. Humans had already been spacefaring for a long time, and discovered eezo (space magic) and Prothean ruins (proof of intelligent extraterrestrial life) on Mars several years before the war. The Citadel isn't too much of a jump from that, I think. We maybe see too many humans relative to other species, but otherwise I'd say it's plausible enough.- The timescale in Mass Effect feels a bit weird.

I just did the merc recruiting scene in Omega where the kid says "I grew up on Omega" so yeah, timeline is kind of weird, or his parents were extremely excited to move off Earth to a floating strip club.
Which... yeah. I hate the start of 2 so much. I just came from having this amazing freedom and seeing all these hints of varied cultures and worlds of varying ecology but nope, we're immediately just going to go into a gross sexist place with combat scenes to mimic Gears of War.
Oh and we've decided guns need to be reloaded now just to mess with you.
I never had the DLC for Kasumi and Zaeed so excited to see them. I'm really only vaguely aware of what their deals are.
Yes, that’s their deal. You hear it from the child at the end of the game.The timeline is weird; agreed that 40 - 50 years feels more appropriate. I do feel like there was some minor detail somewhere that explained that the Reapers don't kill ALL life when they sweep through the galaxy, they just kill the societies that had become super advanced, but I can't remember WHERE I learned that detail. So yeah, the Asari were probably around somewhere and were spared the axe the last time.

The main thing really is that she still gets used as a huge sex fantasy trope if you even faintly express romantic interest in her, I've never seen complaints about her being whiney. She's barely an adult in her own culture, is portrayed with Big Bang Theory levels of social awkward nerd trope despite everything else about her, Asari partnering is this incredibly meaningful and intensely intimate thing, and she knows Shepard for like a week before the slightest of flirting makes her throw herself at them with interest to have that with them. And then there's the incredibly bad confrontation if you try to pursue both possible romances where the sex fantasy intensifies. ME1 was really really bad about this and she gets a SIGNIFICANT writing glow-up for 2 and 3 that highlights how bad it is even further in hindsight.EDIT: Oh I forgot one more thing - I still don't get the complaints about Liara. Like, she's not a super interesting character and she's a bit naive and overeager in ME1, but I didn't really find her annoying or whiny. Definitely get the complaints about the Asari in general as a sex fantasy trope, but Liara in particular seems fine?
It was DLC in the original release. You can swap him into an alternate outfit from the get-go on the squad select screen.
Not good but this makes me like her more, like a soap opera villain.I honestly just kinda personally headcanon Liara as some sort of deeply sleazy con artist just trying to get laid.
