Happy N7 day friend. In the spirit of all things Shepard/Normandy/Bioware, mine has been a flaming disaster 🔥 If I only had a krogan to keep shit in line for me 🙁 and then blow some fun paty horns. Lmao. #letsgetwreckedwithwrex
HAPPY N7 DAY!!!! I am so sorry you had a rough day!!! Hopefully your tumblr dash brings you some happy. The art, fic, and love that comes out of N7 Day is overwhelming in the best way. I love it so, so much. I'm always fried by the end of the day because I expend so much emotional energy. XD

My Ships
Thank you for the tag @steeleholtingon
1. First Ship - Probably Riker/Troi from Star Trek TNG?
2. First OTP - Mal/Simon from Firefly
3. Current Favorite Ship - Loki/Mobius and Geralt/Jaskier (The Witcher)
5. Ship(s) You Wish Had Been Endgame - does this mean ships that are canon but not endgame? Dude, I don't ship mainstream enough ships to even have anything for this one.
6. Ship You Wish Was Canon - how long have you got? Steve/Bucky, Bucky/Darcy/Steve, Darcy/Jemma Simmons, Hugh/Elnor from Star Trek Picard, any combination of Aaron, Daryl and Jesus from The Walking Dead etc.
7. Ship That Most of the Fandom Hates but You Love - I don't hang out in circles where people hate on stuff so I don't even know what qualifies, though I totally ship Daryl/Beth from The Walking Dead, which I know some Caryl shippers were very angry about back in the day.
8. You Don't Even Watch the Show, but You Ship It - Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski from Teen Wolf (I blame @devildoll)
9. Ship You Wish Had a Different Storyline - I mean, all of them, but let's say Finn/Poe and Finn/Poe/Rey
10. Favorite Ship(s) That's Endgame - there's not many. My brain seems to prefer non-canon ships. I guess Riker/Troi, Wanda/Vision, Jamie/Claire from Outlander, David/Patrick from Schitt's Creek
Tagging @typhoidmeri @melifair @lokidokeyartichoki @danimydear @kueble @xkatchy and anyone else who wants to play :)

back when SpiderVerse came out, I saw so many tweets about people being thirsty for Doc Ock that utterly befuddled me before I actually saw the movie and found out she became an unhinged lesbian milf, at which point, i totally got it.
in unrelated news, I haven’t started playing TOTK yet

Tagged by @kueble my lady wife
This got kinda long soo...
When's your birthday: May 2nd and I'm very fond of it for some reason
Where do you live? Buffalooooooo 🦬
Three things you're doing right now: Listening to some lovely Trans-Siberian Orchestra Christmas music, watching my adorable almost-3 month old play like a big boy in his sit-me-up seat, and drinking a protein shake.
Four fandoms that have piqued your interest: Currently on the radar are The Witcher and What We Do in the Shadows. Marvel Universe is always there in the shadows, lurking, waiting with something funny. And Dragon Age is like a warm comfy blanket that I keep going back to.
A song you can't stop listening to right now: Well, according to my Spotify Wrapped, Grave Digger by Matt Maeson. Not ashamed. It's a great song. I like to turn it up really loud in my car and get all emotional with it like I know how to sing or something. My 3 year old enjoys trying to sing it too 😂
How has the pandemic treated you: HAH. You don't really want that discourse nor do you have the time. Just know, not well.
Recommend a movie: Fifth Element. All time favorite movie. BIG bada boom.
How old are you: 33. I hate it. I have a "thing" with numbers. Some just rub me the wrong way. And 33 is definitely one of those numbers. Told my wife to hold off on having the baby because I didn't like what the birthdate would be 😂 (spoiler: he was a jerk and refused to come out so he was finally born the following day, which was a much better date in my opinion)
School, University, Occupation: I stamp ridiculous car registration forms for the state of Massachusetts for a national insurance company. You'd think if your job revolved around filling out this ONE form perfectly for your customer you'd be pretty well-versed in it... but Mass dealers are dumb as rocks and do it ridiculously and sometimes hilariously wrong.
Do you prefer heat or cold: I like to be warm. Give me hot summer days. Big warm fluffy blankets. Soft fuzzy socks.
Name one fact others may not know about you: I have a minor in forensic anthropology and at one time could tell you the specific name and side of the body a single small hand/wrist bone came from just by looking at it. I'm sad to have lost that knowledge and not been able to utilize that degree.
Are you shy: to an extent? I want so badly to be liked. I have so much horrible anxiety. I always feel like people are pretending to like me and laughing about me when I'm gone. I try to hard to be funny in our group work chat, especially since the pandemic. I cover my intense depression and anxiety with a smile and a joke like a band-aid. But if I'm in a situation where I don't know anyone I won't try to enter the conversation. I'll wait for an invitation. I don't want to "bother" anyone. I don't want to intrude. I'm afraid to interact with others here on tumblr. I have no mutuals.
Biggest pet peeves: they're probably all work related, and let me tell you I get REAL salty about them.
Pronouns: she/her
What's your favorite "dere" type: is this like tsundere and stuff like that? Yeah I don't vibe that.
Rate your life from 1 to 10: objectively it's probably a 7 or 8. I'm not doing bad. I have a house and 2 beautiful boys and I can put food on the table and afford nice things for our family. But man with the way my head's been it sure feels like a 3 or 4 sometimes.
What's your main blog: just this. My og. xkatchy for life.
List your sideblogs and what they're used for: I understand the point of sideblogs. You want to have a fixation. Or you have an aesthetic to keep up on your main. But I just don't care lol. I post what I like and if that changes with the wind than so be it. My blog is organic.
Is there something people need to know about you before becoming friends: I'd love to be friends! Let's tag each other in stupid memes and communicate exclusively in hashtags. I'm all for it. I'm just here to have fun. I'm not trying to cultivate a "presence" or become someone. But it gets awful lonely talking to an empty room (well I mean I do have my wife @kueble lol) and tumblr people are some of the best people around. Getting back to that shy thing though... I'm not really able to reach out to people. So my inbox is always open ❤
I tag: @beepbeeprobotlovesong @evilbob653 @jaegerjaw why not.
#personal#hope someone reads this lol#did i google how to add an html read more break for this?#yes. yes i did.#proud of myself

I have a friend that has never played the games (They're very close to my heart, I forgive them this sin 😂) but they are really interested in watching Absolution. Do you have a basic run-down or know of a pre-existing post that would have the most important bullet points of the games to get the most out of the series? Appreciate your immense wealth of knowledge!! My wife and I intended on watching just the first 2 episodes and at the end all 6 were like.... that's it?! We need more 😭
hello! tysm and I know what you mean, more pls!! (๑*ᗜ*) that's a good question. the Dragon Age wiki has plot details/summaries of each of the games (DA:O, also DA:O, DAII, also DAII, DA:I, also DA:I). lots of YouTubers have done Lets Plays of the games over time. Ghil Dirthalen has a series of YouTube videos on Thedas lore here. in the one called "Nations of Thedas", the segment on Tevinter starts at timestamp 9 mins 30, and "A Brief-Complete History of Thedas" covers the history of the world. IGN did a "Dragon Age in 5 Minutes" video that covered the story so far/general broadstrokes lore up until before DA:I, Kotaku wrote a beginner's guide to all things Dragon Age article designed to help new players to DA:I who hadn't played DA2 and DA:O which could be useful, and The Kingdom has a series of 3 videos explaining the history of Tevinter (one, two, three). and to help get the most out of the series it might be helpful if they browsed the wiki pages on Tevinter, mages, blood magic and spirits/demons/possession.
I think the most important bullet points would be that:
the world is called Thedas and in it, being a mage often comes with a cost due to risk of demonic possession or perceived risk of this. because of this in most of the countries in the world mages are made to live in a system which is part of the main in-world religious organization, the Chantry, called the Circle, which keeps an eye on them and is policed by an order of knights called the Templars. however in one country, Tevinter, the country's government is made up of noble mages called Magisters, and it's effectively a magocracy. lots of bad things, dark magics and corrupt stuff goes on in Tevinter so it doesn't have a good reputation among the other nations
the Chantry religion is centered around a god called the Maker and his prophet, a human woman called Andraste
Tevinter has its own version of the Chantry, its own Chantry leader and its own Templars
Tevinter is a socially stratified society which has slavery
there are 4 races in the world, humans, elves, dwarves and Qunari (a tall horned people). elves are oppressed by humans who are the dominant race. in Tevinter elves are often enslaved. members of the other 3 races are also sometimes enslaved in Tevinter.
blood magic is a form of magic powered by blood (usually through sacrifice), it's very powerful but most people fear it and consider it to be evil. it's usually forbidden. it carries increased risk of possession. there's lots of blood magic stuff going on in Tevinter
a few years before the show begins, a corrupted ancient Tevinter magister from long ago basically came back to life and tore open part of the veil/barrier between the waking world and the magic dream world where spirits and demons live because he was A Bad Guy. this was called the Breach and demons from the other world poured through. a group of heroes got together and set up an organization with Chantry backing called The Inquisition. it was led by the Player Character from the most recent video game in the series. they could close mini-holes in the veil because of a magic mark on their hand. their title was the Inquisitor and some people thought they were chosen by Andraste so they called them The Herald of Andraste. many people joined the Inquisition to help. after closing the holes and saving the world, the Inquisition did some other stuff and then eventually disbanded.
I feel like those are the main things someone would need to know? (I tried to pare it down and put it into like, non-DA fan general fantasy terms)
I hope something here is helpful and that your friend enjoys the show ^^

So I do a lot of puzzle books and this one particular clue for alliterative initials was "1979 Pulitzer winner for Drama". Are you aware there was an American actor and playwright Sam Shepard? You probably are, but made me think of you nonetheless!
Ha! I did not know that!!!!
I am laughing hysterically over the irony that he won a Pulitzer for drama.
Thank you for sharing!!!!!!!!!!!

How You Want
So this was supposed to be ready for International Asexuality day but...life happens! Here is some gray ace Geralt. I’m dedicating it to my favorite gray ace, my lovely wife @xkatchy (sweetie, don’t think you have to read it, it’s smut lol). This one fought me hardcore, so I hope you enjoy it!
18+ under the cut, no warnings. 2750 words.
---
They’re holding hands.
Geralt can’t stop staring at their joined hands, fingers laced together as Jaskier drags him up the stairs and to their rented room. His heart is beating much quicker than it should be, and he can’t stop looking at their fucking hands. He knows this is it, this is the night Jaskier will finally leave him.
He slams the door behind them and barely has a moment to breathe before Jaskier shoves him up against it, continuing what they’d started downstairs. His lips are just as soft as before, plush and giving and the sweetest thing Geralt’s ever felt. He wishes witchers could cry, because he already feels a hollow pit in his stomach, but he has to make this last as long as he can.
Clinging to Jaskier’s hips, he sighs into the kiss, tilting his head and opening his mouth to Jaskier’s eager tongue. It’s so easy to fall into it, like they’ve been building up to this moment for years, like everything he’s ever wanted is somehow slotting into place, but he knows it won’t last much longer. He whines into the kiss and Jaskier swallows it down, exploring his mouth as they start to rock against each other.
Jaskier’s prick is thick and solid against his thigh, and that’s the point where it’s all too much.
“Stop,” Geralt whispers, pulling back and sighing loudly. For his part, Jaskier goes completely still, hands jumping back as if burned, and he looks at Geralt with worry in his eyes.
“Too fast? Did I, uh, did I read this wrong? Because down at dinner you seemed like maybe this was ok? Did I just make a fool out of myself?” Jaskier mutters, reaching up to run a shaky hand through his mussed up hair. Geralt wants to keep his eyes shut tight, wants to remember the feeling of Jaskier’s welcoming mouth on his own, but he owes it to him to be honest.
“I...can I talk and you just listen?” Geralt asks, meeting Jaskier’s heavy gaze. He nods quickly, and Geralt moves past him to sit on the edge of the bed. This is the part he hates, the part when he gets mocked and left for greener pastures. He takes a deep breath and leans forward, elbows on his knees, and looks straight at Jaskier while he begins to ramble. “I’m broken. It’s not you, gods please know it’s not you, you’re perfect, Jaskier. I know we’ve danced around this for years, and it’s cruel of me to lead you on, because as much as I care for you, I’m broken.”
“As in...unable to perform?” Jaskier asks carefully, and Geralt just chuckles softly at him. That seems to ease some of the tension, and Jaskier perches on the edge of the bed, close enough that Geralt can feel the heat coming off his body.
“No, my cock works just fine,” Geralt admits before rubbing a hand over his face. He sighs again and tries to find the right words. “Being a witcher means you don’t get a lot of choice. Everything is taken away from you, not your own to handle. I guess something happened during my trials? I don’t know. I just...I’ve never felt comfortable with fucking. I have no problem taking care of myself, and I don’t mind certain parts of it, but I’m not big on the whole touching thing. So...broken.”
“I’m sorry if the kissing was too much,” Jaskier rushes out, looking frantic. Geralt shakes his head and reaches out to take one of his hands in his. He rubs circles on the back of Jaskier’s hand while he tries to put his words together.
“I like kissing,” Geralt starts slowly. He bites his lip and sorts out his thoughts for a moment before continuing, “I like you. Very much. I like sharing space with you. I enjoy your familiar touches, a hand on my shoulder or an arm around my waist while we sleep. I just...don’t particularly want you to touch my cock?”
“Ok, but you’d...you wouldn’t be opposed to a relationship if we work this out?” Jaskier asks, and he looks so hopeful that Geralt thinks it might actually work. No one has ever let him get this far before. Normally he just gets laughed at or kicked out.
“You’re a very sexual person,” Geralt points out, but Jaskier just grins at him.
“I also have very talented hands and know how to take care of myself as you so tactfully put it. So kissing is ok and cuddling is ok. What about watching? Would you want to watch? Or let me watch you?” Jaskier asks, and Geralt is actually surprised at how well he’s taking this.
“You don’t want to fuck me?” he asks sharply, and Jaskier just shrugs at him.
“Darling, I would love to. Trust me. But I also want you to be happy with me. I would never ask for more than you can give me,” Jaskier tells him, and it feels too good to be true. His face must give him away, because Jaskier moves closer and smiles widely at him. “I mean that, my dear witcher. Let me love you how you want to be loved?”
His breath hitches in his chest - the closest thing to a sob he’s ever known - and he folds around Jaskier, pulling him into a tight hug. Geralt buries his face against Jaskier’s neck and takes in the calming scent of cinnamon and sea salt, inhaling deeply as he tries to pull himself together. Jaskier runs a hand down his back before freezing and going stiff in his arms.
“Is this ok?”
“Yes. I like it when you comfort me. Makes me feel special,” Geralt whispers, feeling so fucking small all of a sudden, and Jaskier is quiet for so long he’s not sure he said it loud enough to be heard. But then Jaskier wraps his arms around him, clinging to him as he whispers praise in his ear.
“Thank you for being so open with me. Let me take care of you. What do you want?” Jaskier asks roughly.
“I didn’t think I’d get this far,” Geralt admits, chuckling against the crook of Jaskier’s neck.
“Such little faith in me?” he teases, but the words ring out lightly.
“No one has ever stayed,” Geralt offers, trying not to dwell on it. It sounds so brutal when he says it out loud, makes his past far too real.
“I’m glad, if only so I can have you,” Jaskier rushes out, and Geralt has to bite down on his shoulder because he suddenly feels so overwhelmed that he can’t hold it in, needs to sink his teeth into this wonderful man that somehow wants him for him.
“Kissing?” he mumbles as he sits back. Jaskier’s eyes are bright and his cheeks are flushed. It’s a great look on him, and Geralt wants to see more of him, wants to know what he looks like in the throes of passion. “And maybe then watching each other? I bet you’re gorgeous when you come.”
“Fuck,” Jaskier hisses and glares at him. “You can’t just say things like that. But yes, of course, I’ll gladly take whatever you’ll give me.” He moves up the bed and lays back against the pillows, shooting Geralt a smirk before patting his thighs invitingly.
And then it’s easy again, so damn easy to slide up the bed and straddle Jaskier’s thighs. It’s natural to let himself be pulled into a kiss, to sigh at the soft feeling of Jaskier’s lips against his own again. He thought he wasn’t going to get to keep this, but Jaskier is always full of surprises. He moans into the kiss and kneels up so their hips aren’t touching. That’s too much for him, but Jaskier doesn’t seem to mind, just keeps kissing him.
His hands are everywhere - such strong hands - and Geralt melts under his touch. Jaskier digs his fingers into his shoulders, holds him close as their mouths move together. He’s hard, but for once it’s not frightening, not something he has to fight against.
Geralt feels safe with Jaskier, and that should be alarming, but they’ve been moving around each other and sharing space for years. It’s only natural to take this next step together.
They kiss for what feels like ages, until he’s dizzy with it, until he has to pull back and rest his forehead against Jaskier’s and just pause for a moment. Jaskier doesn’t stop touching him, has one hand cupping his hip and the other rubbing small circles on his lower back, and instead of making him want to run from it, Geralt thinks he could stay like this forever.
“Can I see you?” Geralt pants out, his voice cracking over the words. Jaskier nods quickly and Geralt scrambles back towards the end of the bed. He keeps kneeling, digs his fingers into his thighs as he watches Jaskier palm himself through his trousers.
“You’re in charge. What do you want?” Jaskier asks, his voice ragged already. He looks like pure sin, and Geralt takes a moment to just look. The laces on his chemise are undone, chest hair peeking out, and Geralt desperately wants to know how far down the flush goes. He realizes that he can and wets his lips while he considers his options.
“Take your shirt off,” Geralt says slowly, his pulse speeding up as Jaskier hurries to comply. His chest is sweaty, his hair starting to curl, and he’s flushed down to his navel. Jaskier doesn’t do anything else, just lays back against the pillows once his shirt is on the floor, seemingly waiting for his next instruction. “Should I?” Geralt asks, tapping his chest hesitantly.
“Oh fuck yes, please,” Jaskier spits out, leaning forward as he watches Geralt shrug out of his shirt. “Whatever you’re comfortable with. Let me see you? Wanted this for so long.” He sounds strained, like he’s holding himself back from asking for more, and Geralt has never felt this taken care of. No one has been this careful about what he wants, and it’s a heady feeling. He climbs off the bed and steps out of the rest of his clothing before kneeling on the bed again. He cups his cock, pressing against the heel of his palm, and rocks his hips into the familiar touch.
“You too?” Geralt asks, and Jaskier nods frantically before raising his hips and shoving his trousers and smalls down. He drops them off the edge of the bed and settles back against the pillows, thighs spread wide and fingers white-knuckled as he digs them into his own skin. Geralt takes him in, eyes eagerly flitting across his body. He’s absolutely gorgeous - way too gorgeous for Geralt - and he isn’t quite sure what to do with that.
“I can feel you overthinking, love,” Jaskier teases, voice warm as he smiles across the bed at him. “What has you frowning like that?”
“You’re too pretty for me,” Geralt mumbles, feeling stupid as soon as the words leave his mouth.
“Can I tell you what I see when I look at you?” Jaskier asks, and Geralt can’t help but nod. “I see someone who is strong and solid. Your scars are proof of what a survivor you are, and I wouldn’t have you any other way. They’re reminders that you are here, that you’ve been through so much and are still willing to find a spot in your life for me. I look at you and I’m so in love with you that I feel it right down to my bones. You’re perfect for me.”
“Fuck you,” Geralt spits out, because his chest suddenly feels too tight and he doesn’t know how else to react.
“None of that, dear. Look at what you do to me, just watching you,” Jaskier replies before wrapping those long slender fingers around his prick. He starts to stroke himself slowly, and Geralt watches with wide eyes as pre-come beads at the head.
“Rougher,” Geralt growls, and Jaskier keens as he starts to work himself quicker. He looks so hot like this, eyes half-lidded in pleasure as he pumps himself, and Geralt is quickly getting lost in it. He’s leaking steadily now, pre-come slicking the way, and Geralt can’t figure out where to look.
His eyes dart from Jaskier’s flushed and sweat-slicked chest to his mouth, watching as his tongue sneaks out to wet his lips, and then back down to his hand as he roughly strokes himself. His hips are bucking, and he starts fucking his fist, his gaze heavy as he meets Geralt’s eyes. Whining, Geralt reaches down and takes himself in hand. He didn’t realize how turned on he is, how strained his poor prick is, and he can’t help jerking himself hard and fast, just how he loves it.
“W-what now?” Jaskier asks, panting as he bites down on his lower lip and lets out a low moan. He brings his knees up, feet flat on the bed, and fucks up into his tight fist, and Geralt thinks it’s the most beautiful he’s ever looked.
“Play with your nipples,” he orders, and Jaskier whines before moving a hand up his chest and circling a nipple with his fingertips. He pinches and twists his own nipple and releases a string of broken moans that go straight to Geralt’s cock. He’s striping his prick in tandem with the movement of Jaskier’s hips, panting harshly as they move towards completion together.
“So close,” Jaskier keens, eyes going wide as he shoots Geralt a frantic look and tugs on his nipple. “Please.”
“Come for me,” Geralt growls, voice cracking over the words, and then Jaskier cries out, coating his own chest and thighs with endless splashes of come. He sobs out Geralt’s name, and that’s what pushes him over the edge, hissing as he spills into his hand.
“Fuck, Geralt,” Jaskier pants out, chest rising and falling as he gasps for air. He looks thoroughly debauched, chest red with exertion and painted in his own seed. Geralt pumps himself, milking his cock as he works through his own orgasm.
The image of Jaskier watching him from across the bed will be burned behind his eyelids for the rest of his life. He just knows it.
“Can you?” Jaskier starts, trailing off as he sucks in a deep breath. He looks wrecked, and Geralt loves every second of it. “Can you come here? Is that ok? Only if you’re comfortable.”
Fuck, he’s in love with him and for some gods-forsaken reason Jaskier feels the same.
“Let me just,” Geralt motions towards the basin on the table across the room. He jumps out of bed and grabs a clean cloth, wetting it before washing himself off. There’s nothing he can do for the state of their bedding, but he’s sure it’s seen worse. He slides back into bed and carefully wipes up Jaskier’s skin, dipping down to press a gentle kiss against his mouth as he does so. Jaskier sighs into the kiss and cups his cheek, nuzzling him as he pulls back to grin up at him.
“This is ok? Do you want my clothes back on?” Jaskier asks him, and Geralt is so happy he could cry. No one has ever thought about his needs over their own and it’s a lot to get used to.
“It’s fine,” Geralt says, but then Jaskier raises an eyebrow at him and he rolls his eyes before adding to it. “It’s fine because it’s not sexual. I like laying with you like this. You’re not pressuring me for anything I don’t want. Can...can I just hold you for a bit?”
“Of course, dear. Anytime you want. And I’ll never pressure you, not for anything,” Jaskier smiles at him sweetly and curls up against his chest. Geralt reaches down and tugs the blanket over their bodies, for once not worried about this turning into something he didn’t ask for.
“I think I know that now. Thank you,” Geralt tells him, wrapping an arm around his shoulders and pulling him closer.
“Sweet dreams, love,” Jaskier whispers.
“Night...love,” Geralt says, only feeling slightly silly. But he can feel Jaskier grin against his collar bone and knows that someday soon he’ll be able to say those words for real.

Hi! I have a question that I'm not sure you'll know the answer to - and please don't judge me. I've gotten really terrible at shooters as I got older lol so I was thrilled when MEA had a roleplay difficulty that was more about story immersion and less about how good you were at actually killing things. Will MELE have this too? I've never played the trilogy and I'd really like to!
Hello! Zero judgement don’t worry, everyone has different ability levels and preferences when it comes to playing games, and people play these games for a variety of different reasons depending (combat, story, characters, a mix of several factors, etc). I usually play ME1 on the Casual difficulty setting, I’m better with the combat mechanics in ME2 & 3 but even then I usually just play them on Normal. ME1 was my first shooter/shooter-type game and I come to these games primarily for RP, world, story, the characters etc, not for combat.
I haven’t seen anything in the coverage about this subject. (The only detail I’ve seen about difficulties is that the Hardcore and Insanity difficulties will be available to select from the outset and will no longer require the player to complete the game on a lower difficulty first in order to unlock them.) I’m not sure on whether this is something they’re doing/have done for MELE. There’s more coverage to come and they’re going to be telling us more about it in the coming while.
What I can say is that Mass Effect 3 in the original version of the trilogy has an existing, easier, story-focused difficulty of this kind called Narrative. The description for the Narrative level is:
This difficulty level is intended for players who are more interested in story than combat. Shepard and squadmates are stronger, weapons are easier to handle, and enemies are weaker and less aggressive. This is a nonrepresentative Mass Effect 3 combat experience.
ME3 also has 3 game style modes or experiences that you choose from when beginning a new game: Action, Role Playing and Story. The description for Story mode is:
Customize your character. Experience and control the interactive story without difficult combat.
I think ME3′s Narrative difficulty is similar to the Narrative difficulty in Andromeda (which is described as being “Intended for players who are more interested in the story than combat. Combat scenarios still exist but are less intense.”) My guess is you’d be okay playing the original ME3 already at least.
In og ME2 the lowest difficulty is Casual, which is “Intended for players who have difficulty with or are disinterested in combat”. In og ME1 the lowest difficulty is Casual, in which “All enemies, including bosses, are scaled down relative to the player's level. Most enemies have no special protection or immunities”. For remastered ME1, this is an assumption of mine as we haven’t yet seen much gameplay and I obviously haven’t played the game for myself to see and be able to tell, but fwiw my guess is that the tweaks and changes they’ve done to ME1′s combat in terms of modernizing it and making combat more unified across the 3 games and so forth will go some way towards making it a less janky, more intuitive experience.
I hope this info helps some and I do hope you can play the trilogy! 😊 I’ll keep an eye out in case something on this front comes out too.

Colds/covid testing under the cut
Just checking in to let you all know I'm alive lol. I have been asleep more than I have been awake from Tuesday night onwards. I have a horrible cold/flu thing and the only reason I'm surviving is my amazing wife @xkatchy taking care of me and the boys.
I also had the sketchiest of all covid tests done on the back parking lot of my doctor's office. They had me roll down my car window 3 inches, handed me the swap, and had me do it myself. So if that actually worked, I'm negative lol.
I will be back and posting soon hopefully. I have not written a word since last week, so I'm feeling useless but I have a hard time even staying awake right now haha. I will be back and writing fluffy smut soon, hopefully 💟
#i live#kind of#i also keep feverdreaming bits of fic and then yelking at myself not to#we all know i wont remember anything when i wake up
