Sad but true.
Mars had some nice electro ambience, though.
Palaven, too. But the rest felt more like Mass Appeal than Mass Effect.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Ambiance is a good way to establish mood without beating the listener's head over with it.
This is why, IMO, the best horror soundtracks are ambient. This is why Silent Hill fills me with so much dread... the soundtrack is just so... unnatural. It's not just like constant dissonant, psycho strings and scare chords... it's just... banging, scraping, gnashing, and other strange, atonal sounds.
it's really really off-putting
War is God.One thing that I would change with ME 3, besides the obvious stuff, would be how Cerberus was handled.
A lot of their actions in the game felt a little "cause we're evil" rather than a legitimate agenda.
I get that it was fun to fight an actual organised combined-arms military group for once, and that we needed something to break up the geth and reaper enemies, but how cool would it be if it went like this:
Cerberus, rather than being straight up evil, is the pragmatic loose cannon in the war effort. They will divert supply lines from Palaven and Tuchanka towards Alliance fleets, they will stage hostage situations and set up bombs on alien worlds to convince them to aid the Alliance by force, rather than Shep's diplomacy. They will later get up to nasty studying reaper shit and indoctrination science.
They will start off small and seemingly harmless, with a little act that is kind of dodgy, but even a paragon will be tempted to let slide. And each time you encounter them, you need to decide whether to let them carry on, or disrupt their operations. They will treat you differently each time depending on the track record. The more you resist them, the more men they deploy, the more you help them, the greater their rewards to you.
A lot would have to be changed, but the core story would stay the same - they eventually go off the deep end with the Crucible and indoctrinated TIM, but if you help them, you will get a lot of military points for your army, at the cost of some serious moral issues.

PM box is Closed, Indefinitely Friend Code: 3368-4181-6850So after fucking around a bit, I realised something:
Ditto:
- Is pink
- Can Transform into other Pokémon since its DNA is just a basic template (one of two Pokémon in the entire game to do this)
- Found in the abandoned Pokémon Mansion, where everyone involved with experiments to create a clone of Mew was killed by the fruit of said experiments, Mewtwo
- Specifically, it's only found in the basement, where all the heavy shit went down.
- Its stats, while shitty, are an even 48 across the board. (48 HP, 48 Attack, 48 Defense, 48 Special Attack, 48 Special Defense, 48 Speed)
Mew:
- Is pink
- Can Transform into other Pokémon since its DNA is the template that gave birth to all other Pokémon (one of two Pokémon in the entire game to do this)
- The aforementioned connections to the Pokémon Mansion and the experiments to create a superclone of it, and how it all went to hell.
- Stats are an excellent, but still even, 100 all across the board. (100 HP, 100 Attack, et cetera.)
Ergo, Ditto is the product of a failed attempt at cloning Mew and creating Mewtwo.
MY SOUL IS DARK BUT MY HAIR IS COLORFUL — Brahian Pokémon AlchemistDamn it, which one is Gold Cloud again?
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Lived with the Fae for a loooong time after voluntarily selling himself and his memories to them. Long enough to get inherited by another Queen after the first died, and then that one died too. The others dragged him off before a third could pick up the slack. Now has most of his memories back and is not sure what to do with himself. Is by now more fae than whateverthefuckhewas.
Little else is known yet. Also has a significant role that has been put on hold due to the current fustercluck.

Been looking over the Mass Effect soundtrack on youtube. I still maintain that 1 had the best atmosphere.
No other song in the world fills me with the same sense of dread as this one.
