Jack's group was a rouge Cerberus group. Also their job was research, not to produce an army. They were only in testing phase.

...We've all actually played ME1, right?
Because having just recently played ME1, I mean, this is the same group that thought husks and rachni testing in colonies were awesome ideas. And then they acted shocked when it backfired and they all ended up dying. (Or Shepard showed up, and then they all ended up dying.)

I mean perhaps the most shocking component of ME2 so far is the Illusive Man, insofar as ME1 left me with this impression that Cerberus was run by a legion of right-wing xenophobic buffoons, kind of like Fox News in the 22nd Century, and then suddenly the Illusive Man and Miranda show up and they sound not retarded.

In retrospect it would have been awesome if ME2 actually went in that direction and cast, like, Glenn Beck as the Illusive Man, Michael Steele as Jacob and Sarah Palin as Miranda. (Then Rachel Maddow would be perfect for Jack!)

...Maybe they can still do that with the Terra Firma party in ME3?

EDIT: I actually am now fully convinced that with the right strategy, Bioware could go up to Glenn Beck and pitch the concept of him being a pro-humanity advocate in a sci-fi universe and Glenn Beck would actually sign up for it out of genuine belief that if he lived in the 22nd Century he'd be a member of the Terra Firma party.
...Which is exactly why this has to happen. Don't let me down, Bioware!

If Glenn Beck is in ME3 I don't think that I'll buy it.

Aerozord · 02-16-2010, 01:59 PM

actually does make sense. Apparently how it works is they are given an assignment, then granted complete autonomy so if one cell is busted they are the only ones affected. One log even said they were hiding the super biotic program from the Illusive Man with the assumption that when it works he'll agree the ends justify the means. Though personally I think he'd only disapprove because testing was being done on humans and if they did the same with, lets say asari kids he wouldn't have given it a second thought. But thats just me

and what about when they were done? They were testing methods that they couldn't use. Jack was powerful and crazy for the exact same reasons. Using their techniques they'd get the same thing

Oh come on.
Imagine Shepherd meeting Glenn Beck's character and having renegade options.
(Or I guess more accurately it'd be Paragon options that essentially resulted in Shepherd nonetheless acting like a renegade.)

Are you sure you wouldn't buy it? Because I'm pretty sure you would.

DFM · 02-16-2010, 02:03 PM

No, I'm not sure I'm just saying that I don't think anything you could do to Glenn Beck would make it worth having him tainting the game.

Azisien · 02-16-2010, 03:18 PM

I think I'll take a reverse-Reaper-Harbinger plot line over some dumb ass US politicians for ME3. Though the way I understood it, Harbinger was a Reaper, all cranky and ready to nom-nom some organics in dark space, so I think the Reapers believe 'em.

I am quite curious what will happen for ME3. Since I think you can play ME3 if Shepard dies, unless there's specifically a game over screen, and if so who would you play as?

Devs have already answered that one Azi.

You can't import Shep corpse. Shep dying means you reroll in ME3.

I just realized that Okeer is totally a Krogan Nazi and Grunt is totally his idea of an Aryan Krogan. Which explains so much as too why Grunt isn't nearly as awesome as Wrex. Genetic purity is nice and all but it doesn't equate to anything actually necessarily useful. I look at it like Okeer, being a Nazi Krogan Scientist, was under the impression that a genetically perfect Krogan must be the absolute best Krogan warrior especially given general Krogan traits. In reality he could have gotten a true super soldier by ignoring his misguided ideas of genetic purity and just scrambling Grunt's genetic code into something totally awesome.

Also, why do I find something ironic about Krogan Nazis?
