MASS EFFECT TWO: GIVE GARRUS A HUG - Page 53

on a related note, in the codex entry on human biotics people like those that conditioned Jack are actually refered to as people wanting nazi supermen (they use the proper term but I'm too lazy to look)

You mean �bermensch? Not even close to "Nazi superman" (well, good ol' Fred was German, and the Nazis were German, and I guess that's sorta similar maybe). Though it does literally mean superman.

They should let you play as the Shepard VI.

...All's I gotta say right now is I just met Mass Effect 2's best new non-playable supporting character, and his name is Kal'Reegar.

Please be playable in ME3, Kal'Reegar.

Everyone loves Kal'Reegar and I will be honest I don't really know why.

Is it the accent?

Solid Snake · 02-16-2010, 04:07 PM

It's how insanely badass he is when you first meet him.

...And he's a Quarian. You see the thing I have against Grunt and Wrex is, as amazingly awesome as they both are, they're both born Krogan, so you expect them to be able to punch holes through Thresher Maws. If they didn't punch holes through Thresher Maws, they wouldn't be Krogans.
But a Quarian? You expect those guys to cower in ditches.
...But not Kal'Reegar. Kal'Reegar doesn't care what he was born as or who he is, he is going to kick your ass anyway.

(...Short answer: I always root for the underdogs who excel almost despite their heritage, and I sort of catch that vibe with Kal'Reegar.)

Or it could just be adam baldwins voice showing through nah I jest Kal reegar was alright character

Seriously though what was it with the Quarian loyalty mission and throwing every celeb voice under the sun into it? :|

It's pretty much been western RPG staples to find huge-name voice actors to fill exactly one role. It's getting a bit annoying.

I was alright with Liam Nissen playing Ra's al Dad in Fallout 3 but going over the cast list shows like 99% former-actors-turned-VAs in all of Bioware's last few games.

I just liked how Kal'Reegar was like, "Yeah, sure, I'm a member of a race of what are essentially gypsy super-nerds, but even though I was just shot in the leg (which would normally cause a near-fatal allergic reaction) I'm still practically insisting on charging in with a rocket launcher!"

I just started what is technically my 4th playthrough today (concurrently with 2 others though). I'm on Casual difficulty because I want to see what it's like to import an ME2 character, and I don't like the guy I played as last time. For now I'm trying a Renegade playthrough for the first time... so fittingly, I'm playing a Soldier named Havoc. He wears GDI-gold and blue, doesn't take no guff from no one, and uses a Hand Cannon exclusively. This is totally okay because Adrenaline Rush and Casual Difficulty combine to make headshots 1-or-2-shot kills. "And THAT was left-handed!"

In my other playthrough as an Adept on Insane, it took me about 12 hours to get to the point where I am. In my playthrough as Havoc, I've reached the same point in 2 hours. It's pretty awesome never dying from bullets.

Now with a plethora of absolutely horrible default game decisions instead of just 5!
