You know a character has made an impact on you when you start critiquing them as people and not the author who wrote them.

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?

I accidentally got Tali killed in the second one. Restarted the whole mission. I got her through the pipes, then suddenly BOOM HEADSHOT. Right out of nowhere.

I think it might've been Samara's fault.

Oh dude, f'real. The ambiguity helps, I think, because neither side is clearly painted as wholly good or wholly evil.

You don't get them as squadmates.

In the story, Tali's role is filled by Crazy Gethhumping Admiral.

Garrus just simply doesn't show up.

I felt so bad for him with that whole thing. That was his single chance at being a normal person, and it was squandered because of kneejerk reactions.

Also I think people neglect the depth shown in Doom's narrative

See

it's not just about some guy carrying around like ten thousand guns and blasting hellspawn in the face with MIDI heavy metal music blaring

it's

it's um

uhh

you see um

"It just smells like sweat, why would you even ask that?"

Citadel DLC convos are the best.

See

um

the player doesn't have a name

because um

the Doomguy doesn't have an identity anymore

yeah yeah

he surrendered his humanity when he began indulging in bloodlust and sadism on scales unheard of

and uh

see the

See, the Doomguy is fairly complex

okay

for one

he kinda smiles evilly when you get a new gun

uh

and two

he makes these weird grunting noises when you try to open a door that's locked

or try to open walls that aren't secrets

and um

Norm I do not get something in ME 3

Does each individual geth program get free will if legion does his thing? Is concensius no longer necicery for life? do they become independent? I do not get the wording at all

#293594: Jul 23rd 2014 at 8:23:07 PM

and see

the heavy metal music represents the escapist power fantasy that the game is

and well

and the fact that he can carry around all those guns and never have to reload them is actually a clever nod to action movies in the 80's

[down]ahem... effect is a noun and affect is a verb mmkay

the blind hermit scene in the film "the bride of frankenstein" made me tear up a little bit

well

the paddles represent the obstacles one has to face in everyday life, some worse than the other

the ball is the person overcoming the obstacles and getting their goals and I am sorry but I can't do this

Link is more complex than Doomguy.

His silence represents the fact that his burdens as chosen one have robbed him of what little he would have to say, as he understands that he knows nothing now that he is but a small piece in a much bigger picture.
