jangoisadrunk posted:The Normandy is no longer technically an Alliance vessel That's funny. Admiral Mikalovich (or however he spelled it) said it was technically still an Alliance vessel. That's why he demands an inspection. The point is moot really, since no one really know how any of that stuff works in the Mass Effect universe. We all pretend to based on some random line of dialog or codex entry here or there, but it's mostly made from extreme forms of extrapolation and we should all acknowledge that. There is nothing in the game that 100% confirms any of the points being tossed around in this topic.
IGN Comics: As I understand it, Mass Effect Galaxy for the iPhone is going to introduce a new character called Jacob, who will go on to play a major role in Mass Effect 2. Would you say this comic is introducing any new characters along the same lines, who will have a big impact on either the game or the DLC? Walters: The idea is that we're both expanding on characters that we didn't really explore in Mass Effect 1, and also looking at opportunities to expand on them even further in the DLC. IGN Comics: One of the big appeals of the first game is that it allows you to completely customize the gender, appearance, and behavior of [Captain Shephard]. Obviously the comic can't do that, so how are you going about choosing to portray Shephard? Do BioWare have a sort of set idea of how he looks and how he acts? Walters: What we've done with the marketing for Mass Effect from the get-go is, if you look at any of the covers or posters, we have one version of Shephard that serves as the default Shephard. And whenever we get into a situation where we can't customize that, where you're not playing the game, that's the version of Shephard we're going to assume. So if you've played the game and you've created your female Shephard, that's different, obviously, than what we have on the cover. There is going to be a difference. But Shephard is always written with certain parameters in mind. As the writing team, we always try to stay within a certain set of values and behaviors that he or she would have. And that applies to the comic as well.
