Selected participants won their respective polls, basically whose most likely to break their friend (maybe more in some cases) out of prison without asking any questions, except maybe "which prison?"

Garrus "if it can be fired, I know how to use it" Vakarian

I actually upgraded his Turian Renegade category first because I loved that description so much, lol!

Jack and Zaeed have been a really solid choice for squadmates on missions so far. They seem to work well together. I realized that, d'oh, I hadn't done anybody's loyalty missions yet so I did Zaeed's because I'd gotten it first. THEN I found out that his is really difficult to get mid-game if you're playing Paragon (if you do it right away, you don't need as many Paragon points to pass the check). If you don't choose the Renegade option of letting people die so Zaeed can go after the guy to get revenge, then you've got to have a HECK a lot of Paragon points to pass that check at mission's end because Mr. Massani is (kinda rightfully) PEEVED at you for costing him his revenge.

And when I say peeved, I mean I legit thought he was going to Critical Mission Failure Shep or at least he was going to be so angry he wouldn't continue on with the crew.

Thankfully, my sweet Shep and I have been gathering all the Paragon points we can, so we passed the check, Zaeed backed down and now we have his loyalty, WHEW. (I love talking to him between missions, he always has a story to tell you, lol!)

I just did Jack's loyalty mission and, as a reward, I gave her a shirt to go under her "there's no way those tiny straps are staying in place like that" harness, lol! I've seen a couple of different dialogue scenes with Jack and most of them still have her snarking at Shep, so I was surprised when I talked to her after her loyalty mission and she was remarkably calm and thoughtful. I didn't want to activate her romance options but I was afraid I'd have to be mean to her to prevent that. So far, so good, though; Jack seems to like me without liiiiiiking me. 😍👍

Grunt and Wrex!!! Shep looks like he's back there having an existential crisis while Uvenk (who I knew was voiced by Michael Dorn the second he spoke 😉) seems to be either appreciating or judging his Spectre butt, lol.

Uvenk: "Well, he's no Miranda, that's for darn sure!" 😤

😂Anyway!

Plus there was an ambassador from Clan Nakmor there! I didn't realize my beloved Drack's clan originated from the OT!

Oh man, I love that Krogan, lol!

I'm trying to get all of the loyalty missions done ASAP and I've already upgraded the Normandy as much as I can. There are still a few more upgrades I haven't gotten yet because I haven't recruited Thane, Legion or Tali yet. I decided to put Tali off as late as I can so that when I come back on another playthrough, I won't have to replay the entire game just to NOT romance her so that I'm setting up Kaidan's romance in 3. I hope I'll still get the chance to do all of Tali's romance stuff, though. If I mess it up by getting her too late, I'll just back up and do her recruiting earlier, then. We'll see!

And ohhhhh I did the Overlord mission without knowing which one it was going to be and it was David. Holy macaroni. That was so upsetting at the end when he's finally revealed and he's got tears running down his face and there's his horrid brother wanting you to choose to leave him like that. I LOVE that the Paragon option is to pistol whip that dude, lol. I hope we get to see David later on in 2 or 3 and that he's doing so much better. Man, I wasn't expecting that reveal and it really stuck with me. Poor guy.

And I don't know if this is something or not but... one of the bots was acting weird in that mission, like it was trying to attack a console and when Shep and the squad came in, it didn't attack them. Is that going to have something to do with Legion, I wonder? It wasn't the Geth style robot body that Legion has but I couldn't help but think it was trying to tell me that there was some other type of robot sentience going on in there. I could just be projecting, though, because I already know about Legion, so... 🤷‍♀️ I guess we'll see!

And lastly, while the Hammerhead is no Mako or Nomad, I actually had a lot of fun zipping awkwardly around in it! Forgot to record or cap any of it, though, oops. 🤷‍♀️ I've played a LOT of Mass Effect these past few days, lol!

That's it for my Mass Effect 2 Update of Updateyness! Keep holding the line, friends! Love to you all! 💖💖💖

Ryder: Even these Jardaan were surprised at what they created…

SAM: It is not uncommon for a creator to be surpassed by their creation.

Drack: Couldn’t anyone else have said that?

MASS EFFECT: ANDROMEDA ⇢ Squadmates

[sephsekla]

Reasons I love Mass Effect Andromeda

I feel far more comfortable being a civilian explorer than a military soldier, doing military soldier things on the orders of other soldiery people

Drack

While Shepard starts and finishes their arc as a respected badass, Ryder grows immensely, goes on a personal journey and becomes respected

Drack

The Tempest is a really nice ship, and a small ship with a tiny crew of friends feels preferable to a massive warship staffed by a chorus line of crew

Drack

At no point am I forced to interact with Dr Liara T'Soni

Drack

Journeying across dark space for 600 years is the scariest thing in the whole series

Drack

The Nomad squadmate conversations are legitimately great

Drack

Being able to launch into the air and then biotic charge enemies from above is the single coolest combat move the series has produced

Finally, Nakmor Drack is a great character

Mass Effect Characters that I think are black coded or poc coded since this game has like 3 black characters in the entire series but one dies, one is meh and the other is the worst fucking character in the series who’s every negative black stereotype in the book

Jaal Ama Darav- Fucking obvious. Tbh most Anagara are black. Maybe all of them. Yeah all of them.

Almost all Asari. Like I can’t even choose one because every one I meet gives me black woman vibes, even Liara, especially with how they’re sexualized constantly . I think all Asari are black women ot just women of color (shut the fuck up don’t say ‘they’re blue of course they’re woman of color’ I will eat your soul) but I’m claiming Liara, Matriarch Benezia, PeeBee, Samara, Morinth and Aria mostly

Most if not all Krogan but I’m claiming Wrex, Drack, Eve, Kesh and Grunt as black. The others can be whatever

Vetra, Syd and Kandros are my only black turians

If I’m claiming Salarians I’m only claiming Kirrahe and Kallo because Kallo reminds me of my nerdy ass brother

All prothean’s are black because they remind me of the angara

Thane is black and since he’s like the only Drell I know besides his son he’s the only one I claim as black plus his son. Maybe that one drell Liara likes or whatever but I don’t remember his name and I don’t care to google it

As for the other races like the Volus, Batarians, Vorcha and Hanar they can be whatever. I feel like Quarians or some sort of European coded but then you have Reegar who sounds like fucking soldier from TF2 so idk I’m not touching it

Also don’t come for me with “Oh why are you headcanoning most of the krogan as black they’re aggressive that’s stereotyping” which like in the game all krogans are stereotyped as aggressive but you have those who aren’t like Kesh but she’s treated as such by Tann and others just because she’s Krogan even though she’s a scientist who wants to use her brains, Eve who’s physically restrained even when she’s the one in danger all because of the stereotype of all Krogan being violent when she prefers to use her brains and even criticizes other Krogan for their old archaic ways of thinking with violence, like they’re treated how black women are treated all day every day 24/7 365. I’ll headcanon them as black if I want to.

If you want to know why I claim most of these characters as black feel free to ask but so far this is my list. Also I might do a thing where I draw a human design for the characters I think are black.

And if you disagree with these let me know why. Even though I most likely won’t read it because nine times out of ten when someone objects to a non human character being head cannoned as black it’s for racist reasons so I genuinely don’t really care if you disagree
