Report: EA Is Remastering The ‘Mass Effect’ Trilogy At Long Last (Unconfirmed)

They should have gone with the blondie when they put up the poll for the new look.

In ME3 she had a weird man jaw and big eyes, they didn't even try to make her look like the artworks.

ME3 was the game that made it really obvious they were using the same skeleton for female and male Shepard. Her arms are all weird and gangly and her torso is stretched long to fit into the male character's frame.

Difference was he had an actual personality besides "quirky science guy". I mean, the dude was an STG glowie for the Salarians who ended up being conflicted about some of the work he and his team did, eventually causing him to retire to Omega in search of a quieter life.

Oh, and he's a fan of Gilbert and Sullivan. Hard to go wrong there.

What bothers me about ME2 is that nearly half of the characters excluding DLC are useless.

Thane is a dark and brooding assassin with a kid he needs to take care of, no matter how. Oh wait, we already have that dynamic with Samara, who is a much better character. And has more skills and a more flexible fighting style, along with actually being useful in the suicide mission.
Grunt is a big krogan who acts like a child. That's about it. He exists because Wrex nostalgia.
Jacob is... the black Cerberus guy. Who was Jacob again?
You could probably combine Miranda and Jack into a composite character instead of two biotics who bitch and complain about different things.

You can complain and say "well thats not really changing much" but if I had three or four less loyalty missions to clutter up my journal so I can have an ending that doesn't suck, I would be a happier man. And if we're being really petty, Kasumi is not very useful anyway compared to Zaeed.

To be fair, the characters were competing against Zaeed. Man simply oozes charm.

One of the early examples of non-threatening black male characters.

He's also the writer's hamfisted attempt to have a reasonable person to spin how good it is that you're working for Cerberus. Without him, it'd just be the moustache-twirling writer self-insert and his pet ogre trying to convince you.

Shame that didn't work at all, Jacob's blander than an unsalted cracker and his loyalty mission is absolutely hilarious. His father goes full ooga-booga with a bunch've slave women and you arrive late to clean it up. Jacob basically leaves it up to you to tell him how to think and nothing changes.

Oh and in ME3 if you made the life mistake of romancing him he cheats on you with another woman and gets her pregnant. Peak black man action, there.

Not only that, but AFTER he found out his father was the leader of cultist orgies.
