#mass effect legendary

[fictionisthebetterreality]

Me: Yeah I like Mass Effect a normal amount.

Also Me: Did EDI know that she was going to die? Did she see the possibility, one of a thousand simulations, subroutines running like dreams in the back of her mind? Did she tell Jeff? Or did she feel the Crucible wave catching up to the ship as it was happening, feel its hungry claws reaching for her synthetic synapses, her circuitboard heart? Did they get to say goodbye? Was there time for her to give him a message? Say Thank You, Jeff, I'll always remember you, Jeff, Jeff, I love you- Or did he look over, start calling her name, only to see the blank shell of what used to be his love? Did they hold a funeral for her? Bury her body in the foreign earth of a planet scorched by the heat of their crashing ship (her true form)? Did he ask Shepard afterwards? Did he ask her if she knew, knew what would happen when she made that choice? Did she reply? Did she tell the truth, or lie, her tongue burning like a thousand suns because she is too far broken, too cracked with guilt and grief, to force herself to risk another? Kaiden, Ashley, Mordin, Thane, Miranda, Anderson, EDI - surely another would destroy her beyond repair, so does she lie? Does she crush yet more bodies beneath her boots, saying No Jeff, I would never-

Francisca 'Frankie' Shepard

Frankie Shepard, born in a timeline where Humanity were the first to discover the Citadel. That comes along with humans dealing with the chaos of first meetings and well.... a drastic fashion change that has them dressed in 80s/90's punk esthetics....

Their technology may be far advanced than other species, but their choice of fashion did change... for the better many will say.

Shout out to @redreart!!! Amazing as always!!! Her work is amazing go check her out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just sharing some pretty mass effect stills.

Have you ever seen Shepard doing a nova in photo mode? Now you have.

(Alternative armor bodies by Rnicole32557 for bigger arms and a flatter chest on femshep. seriously I LOVE that mod.)

"It'd be an awfully empty galaxy without you." I've been trying to replay Mass Effect for two months now, but life is getting in the way. I made this sketch a few weeks ago and wanted to finally post it so I can move on to other things already :,) (I'm never attempting to draw armor ever again)

You probably can and I just can't find it, but I REALLY wish I could request a mod on the Nexus for Mass Effect 3 to fix the blood splatter. idk if they fixed it in the Legendary edition, but one thing that bugged the shit out of me when I played ME3 the first time (and still does) is that, whereas ME2 had each species have their canon accurate blood colours during a fight, in ME3 for some reason all the blood was defaulted to just red.

AND THAT'S KIND OF.... REALLY ANNOYING.

It's so baffling. Why does ME2 have this detail but ME3, which uses a LOT of the same assets, does not??? WHY????

It makes me so irrationally irritated for no reason.

The name changed throughout history and depending on who and where you ask. They were… are the ones being able to see and understand the messages the Protheans have left behind. The visions and technology they managed to unlock through the Beacons is far more immense than once originally thought it would be. They became the ones the leaders follow out into space. They were not leaders per say, but their words hung over heavy over others. They knew what was needed to be said and done. To progress forward towards their goals.

All of them have said the same thing. Humanity must unite. Now if people would stop throwing space paste at them.

In my downtime while I was sick, I finally got around to doing MEL earlier this month (boy is that version of the Mass Effect Trilogy buggy as fuck) and I was still stuck by how ridiculous the dream sequences were in ME3. Especially the Scenery.

So, while thinking of my recurring nightmare, I thought of the scenery that haunts me (cause it’s the same damn place each time) and realized the trees in ME3′s dream had no actual reference from my FemShep’s life (of course there is also the “why-am-I-attached-to-random-child-I-saw-like-three-times-as-opposed-to-friend-I-left-to-die?” question but I’ve already whined about that). It’s supposed to be an important dream to make us feel like Shep is suffering for failing everyone but the trees make it feel even more out of place.

We don’t see any stand of trees like that in any of the games. Depending on the background that Shep has, they don’t even grow up near trees. Two of the three options for pre-service history has Shepard living somewhere with very little trees (ships/stations or on the streets of a big city) while the third is a colony off in the Attican Traverse with non-Earth flora. I suppose Shep could have visited a park or two while taking a break from saving the galaxy but it goes very against the character type, especially since the events from the full trilogy only take place over 3 years and Shep was dead for 2 of those.

I get that they were probably going for the idea of being lost and needing to connect but there were so many other impactful scenes that they could have chosen to base the dream around. Like basing it on Virmire, a planet where you make more than one decision that impacts the rest of the trilogy. Heck, if they wanted symbolism, using the scene from ME2 where you��re forced to walk through the busted Normandy to rescue Joker during the opening would be full of symbolism. Shepard literally dies right after so that would have been a full circle nightmare fuel.
