Why are we here, just to suffer? Bioware had the opportunity to finally make the casino outfit in the citadel dlc available as a casual outfit option and didn’t do that.

okay a lot of things in ME1 LE look great you know, so much has been improved visually and everything but man, this lighting is....not good, it looks kind of...unprofessional, and kind of unfinished. Like, it completely lacks the atmosphere and has this weird effect during dialogue cutscenes like they’re shining a spotlight on the participating characters sometimes. It’s kind of off putting bc its not immersive and it takes me out of the scene? Idk its like they completely killed the og atmosphere to show off the textures but even the textures haven’t gotten an equal level of attention fhkgjdhfjd it’s so fucking weird bc you can see like right at the start. The textures on Joker’s clothes for example, are really good like those look like CLOTHES, you could reach out and touch them. etc but then esp on the human characters something is lost. idk how else to put it bc it’s like they’re kind of unfinished too.

lmao fucking byeoware used mods like ALOT as a benchmark when what they should’ve fucking done is paid the people who made that mod to remaster the games for them bc jesus christ. like even though bioware is a continuous embarrassment this is bad even by their standards. 
dr chakwas is out here looking as dead on the inside as i feel rn:

ngl playing through me1 is even funnier bc like go through enough side quests and cerberus is behind so many so many evilbad space crimes and evil(TM) experiments, like its not just ONE THING so it’s even dumber to see people get mad at ashley or kaidan in me2 like did shep’s death selectively wipe your memory of like the 39480 space crimes you’ve already seen cerberus commit.

what makes me so bitter about thane in particular is just like, any time we have with anyone is so limited at the end of the day and this is even more apparent for thane, whose time is even more limited due to his illness, and for six months of what little time he had left he tried to write to his only friend and/or his lover, and he couldn’t, and for six months where shep was locked down and alone, it does seem like thane is the only one who actively tried to reach them, they didn’t get his messages, they couldn’t write back to him. 
and thane says ‘maybe we’ll keep up via the extranet’ when you see him next but you don’t end up doing that either, and he outlived his doctors’ estimations, and then his life is completely cut short because kai leng has plot armour and shep and their companions in the scene just stand there letting this 1v1 keep happening, instead of shooting that bitch while he’s down but i’m honestly just slightly angrier that what happened before is so ugly and underserved for Thane as a character if your shep was his friend or romanced him or even liked him. 
Also his death is as easily preventable as the virmire survivor’s, even MORE so imo bc previous conversations with the vs inform how they act during the coup so you have a degree of control and don’t even have to get that far, but his simply isn’t and like why?? bc kale lego needs a reason to be hated??? as if his entire existence isn’t enough??

like WHY have Shepper tell Liara they are thinking about the team mate that died on Virmire if their dream wasn’t even FOCUSED on the teammate that died on Virmire. Imagine if Shep actually did dream about them instead of having to follow the same shitty slowmo dream that ends with the star kid on fire and pretending like background whispers suddenly make it make sense. bc it doesn’t.

priority thessia: sad, painful, huge emotional impact 
bioware, deciding what would be the best kinds of emails for shep to get: 
Tumblr media
also does he not feel even slightly embarrassed about this fight literally being 
“waaah my shields waaaah save me gunship waaaah i’m a little baby that runs away constantly”
like edi let this through the spam filter bc of how embarrassing it actually is.

forget the catalyst and leviathan, executor pallin died twice and came back to life to help the salarian councillor expose the cerberus coup, i think he’s the one who needed the dlc.

i feel like for me the reason priority: thessia had a bigger emotional impact wasn’t just bc of its late placement in the game, it’s more to do with the soldiers you encounter on the ground, all of them fighting on their last legs to buy you precious time, only for your mission(TM) to end in failure and for you to have to know that literally everything they did, staying instead of retreating was bc you asked them to, and now they’re all dead, something that’s extremely relatable for Shepard as a soldier too and i think it’s a more organic way to hit you in the feels than the starchild. 
it’s so funny bc the starchild is so blatant and forceful in trying to make you ‘feel bad bc innocents die’ that it ends up completely not working bc as i’ve said before it’s a child that straight up doesn’t act like a child, and doesn’t exist or fit the world in the slightest because its magically the only (1) civilian that shows up for the sole purpose of trying to make you feel bad while you leave earth. 
bc it’s not like you’re leaving someone else you're already predisposed to give an enormous fuck about or anything (*koff* anderson *koff*). 
and it’s so funny bc basically every other minor instance of things that are designed to get you in the feels don’t try nearly as hard and still do more than the kid and those painfully slow and boring dreams (charr and ereba, the teenager talking to the turian in the refugee camp, the turian who ends up sending his wife and kids to sanctuary, the human soldier who sends her daughter to thessia bc she and her wife are being deployed, joker’s sister, that woman whose brother joined cerberus and so on...). 
Like, I’m a huge crybaby, literally takes nothing to get me going, I start pre crying before sad scenes if i know what’s coming and yet I feel absolutely nothing when looking at the soulless eyes of that nightmare child esp knowing the catalyst is gonna come to our first and last meeting looking like that. no thank you.

can’t believe tim illusive had a whole shepard clone that was also a blank slate and he didn’t use them instead of keg landfill.

Clone Shep will be like "You had Miranda, I have her. Mine has more bite” well first of all, if you had had Miranda, your plan would’ve actually worked. And secondly, anyone who had a view of the Normandy SR2′s engine room in the year 2185 can testify to Miranda having the most bite.
