I know that omni gel isn't a mass effect field. It's just talking about the squad in the first game made me question the validity of a security system that can be bypassed by smearing gel on the electrical panel. And since you can convert all your weapons, armor, mods, and biotic amps into omni gel, everyone is just carrying around a skeleton key to every safe in the galaxy. How do you keep a stable a economy when someone could hold a bank hostage, drop trow, and the hack into the bank records and transfer funds into his own account?

That security upgrade made a lot of people unhappy
And how does an economy function when only electronic transactions exist? Would that make everything worthless and you're just passing back imaginary funds to other people that have no real value outside some arbitrary value assigned by the Citadel? How does the Reaper invasion change any of this when it was destined for failure anyway?

Paper money exists, but it's much more used in the black market, for being heavier and space-consuming than data, something of a necessity when you go to space.

Even though they've seen what a weaslely ass he can be?

[up] That explains the deep market dealings and the credits found on mercenary freighters. Guess I just didn't pay that much attention to the details.

[down][down] Courtesy to others, perhaps?

No. And neither did you until the salarian counciler tells you.

^^ smile

^ We should try to appeal. That's a lot of great discussions to just throw away.

Maybe we should just make a rule not to discuss the part of the game that turns everyone into frothy mouthed psychos until the issue has passed?

On the VS angle: Reservations for working with Cerberus aside, they sorta made sure you survived on Mars. That should be enough for them to give Shepard the benefit of the doubt. Especially since Udina never really struck me as on the level from the beginning.

I don't know Spirit, discussion or not we can't go back to the thread as it was in its peak. Kinda sad really.

And Fake, why are you taking pleasure in that?

Udina deserved a punch in the face after that one. And for just existing. Couldn't have pulled the trigger fast enough to shoot him.

Of course Fake, whatever you say. Racist git.

Please remember, she is a cartoon character. I guess I'm just weirded out by it a bit.

So if you didn't play Arrival, is there another reason why Shepard's on Earth and stripped of Commander status? All because of the whole working-with-Cerberus thing?

All the Ewoks will look up and shout, "Save us from the Klingons!" And I'll whisper, "Why so serious?"

If you didn't do Arrival, Hackett sent in some 103rd Marines in to do it instead. These marines all got killed, resulting in a -50 penalty to the ESM value of the Marines. Shepard gets jailed because of "the shit [s/he has] done."

About omnigel: I think it was supposed to be some kind of programmable matter that can be programmed by specialists to create tools needed to bypass security systems...or something...

Wait, so we can't talk about the endings?

[up]Programmable matter? Mass Effect is way closer to Clark's Third Law than I thought.
