Unless, of course, you have the shit luck of having Wreav.

Then don't lift genophage. Sad, but necessary. Problem solved either way.
Talking like Mordin

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORDIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN!!!
*sobs*

now.

Still the geth. Do you know how much effort I put into getting peace?

And their co-existence with the quarians is a shit on the Catalyst's views/

Yup, the geth are basically just victims of Bioware's complete lack of workable ideas on how to end the series. They hit a wall and they knew it.

I admit, I have yet to beat any of the games. First I made the mistake of playing the second game first, then I had an oh-shit moment and went right back to the first game. Currently playing paragon soldier.

[Neema]

You know, getting Geth and Quarian peace was the only reason I fucking played ME3. Only reason.

I played ME3 because Mass Effect is an amazing series and I believe that Mass Effect 3 was among the greatest games I have ever played.

The only bad thing was quite literally the final five minutes.

True, when I found out that it was possible, I nearly had a heart attack.

It's interesting how I never see borderline hate fantasy rps like this on P2TM.

Good.

People complain whenever a zombie or academy RP is mentioned, but those pale in comparison to the deluge of "Kill all teh ponies in mah nation threads" I witnessed when I was more concerned with II than F7 RP.

Once I build up my skills, I'm going to actually do a good zombie RP.

I've been doing a bit of a mini-analyst of the Walking Dead RP, some people are finding it interesting. In my opinion, the best zombie roleplays are the ones where the undead never appear.

So simply rumors, or an epidemic that spawns the rumors and then disappears suddenly leaving the world curiously blank and empty, devoid of the dead, or undead?
That actually sounds pretty fuggin awesome....

If you're going with an rp, Destroy is best.

It helps show how the massive alliance Shepard built may start to be destroyed after her passing. (My Shepard is a girl, because Garrus is the only character I've cared to romance.)

The only reason I did bro-shep was Tali. Is it bad that I've trusted the small alien girl with backwards knees and the large avian man more than any human in that series?

Garrus and Tali died in ME2 for me. I was so sad because they're by far my favorite characters in the series and Garrus was always my go to teammate.

I don't really see the point of a zombie-less zombie roleplay. Its like a WWII RP without the Axis.

Did the allies have nothing to do with WWII?

The best zombie movies are never just about killing Zombies, that gets boring after the hundredth impaled walker. Successful storytellers use Zombies as a means to an end, many use it the manifestation of society's fear of the Other. When looking to create the plot of your thread, look beyond the zombie first, to the inter-dependency and fragility of our community, and then populated your world with ghouls and vampires or whatever.

If I wanted to make a character driven war RP based around a French Foreign Legion platoon in a modern day conventional military conflict, does the storyline of the conflict itself and how it starts really matter that much? I mean I'm not making some Tom Clancy geopolitical thriller, I just want to focus on the individual soldiers and their day to day experiences. Although I feel if the war itself is too generic people will avoid it.

If it's not really what you want to focus on, it's not important. If it is, it is.
It just depends on how well you pull off what you DO focus on.

I assume our characters will have to be good at running with nothing but a white flag? Just kidding, but still I suppose it could work, but you're constantly going to have to have something going that'll keep them interested...

I never said they didn't.

1. The best zombie movies are never just about killing Zombies, that gets boring after the hundredth impaled walker. 2.

When looking to create the plot of your thread, look beyond the zombie first, to the inter-dependency and fragility of our community, and then populated your world with ghouls and vampires or whatever.

1. Point taken. However, there's no real point in making it a zombie movie if you're not battling zombies at least some of the time.

2. No disagreement there.

3. I was planning on doing something along those lines for mine, while also exploring the human spirit. How easily it can seem to be broken, while at the same time how easily it can bounce back.

How about a conflict in a former French colony?

I once wanted to make an RP about a totalitarian, right wing USA headed by Ron Paul being brought down by a paramilitary group of Liberal rebels.

Granted, it was supposed to be satire.

We would. Ron Paul would have an army of giant ants.

Needs more mecha. Oh well, back to work on the revelation-mecha-WWII-Catholic Nazi-Aztecs setting.

I am actually developing an American Revolutionary War With Mecha in Space setting. I even made flags for the countries.
