BioWare loves to make characters who refers to humans or other humanoids as "squishy" or "soft creatures" or "meatbags".
Really, just take those 2:

The reason why the multiplayer character is so big is because the Human Soldier's and Vanguard's are wearing that bulky armor. Shepard will be the same size if you're wearing the N7 Defender Armor. Use the Engineer for a proper comparison.

Good point I didn't even think of that! Lemme get a new comparison up see if its different.

Edited:

Here it is with the Engineer, A little closer but still seemingly larger/higher up, that could be just a random thing, but anyways its still bigger than ME2.

So heres a DLC question for ME2.

Which 2 out of the 4 dlcs should I buy, out of Shadow Broker, Overlord, Arrival and Kasumi? I won't have enough money for all 3 so.

[Xionasis]

I got Shadow Broker and Arrival, because they seemed the most relevant to the main story. I've heard good things about Overlord though.

That's what I was thinking, but Liara will be disappointed in me when I pursue Tali for romance.


Also, is that Olan Rogers as your avatar?

[Xionasis]

I was thinking the same. Especially since she was my romance in ME1. Also, yes.

It's the sight of the Collector Cruiser just jumping in. And the music. Oh god that music.

Golems and robots are pretty similar so it's not surprising.

Shadowbroker and... Kasumi.

and Arrival.. and.. I just bought all of them because I wanted to play more ME2 to ward off ME3 anxiety.

Seriously though. Shadow Broker and Kasumi (for a cool new character skill) or Arrival (which I didn't think was that great.)

[One]

I got Kasumi, figured it would be more enjoyable. Thank you all for your input <3

[Arvuti]

Overlord has got a really nice story, is fairly long and has a really nice and emotional closure.

Arrival is the worst of ME2 DLC imo, really short and talking to harbinger was lame as hell.

[SouthParkMGT]

Yet Arrival connects ME2 and ME3, so for better understanding of ME3 story you need to play this. Although if you don't have it, no problem. The ending is always the same, plus in ME3, if you haven't played some ME2 DLCs, their progress still will be counted. Of course, since LoTSB or Overlord has decisions which affects the story in one way or another, lack of those DLCs will give you the decisions you wouldn't like in ME3. But wil Arrival it's ok cause there's no decisions and ending is one - 300,000 dead batarians. You can just watch its playthrough on YouTube.

Yeah that's what I figured I would do, watch it on Youtube. Plus Overlord looks really interesting.

[cagoBHuK]

Im just curious, will there be any consequences in ME3 about Overlord DLC? I mean will it influence somehow or it is just a little story DLC for ME2?

What the fuck, the medic/scientist on tuchanka has a shop?

Here's the best I could do:

You know why this is so? It's a trick used by console developers (and some PC devs of little honour) to render less of the environment by having something big covering part of the screen. It's usually used to compensate for the clockwork processing power (like performing a maths calculation with a steam-powered difference engine) of Generation 7 consoles, though it's leaked into certain PC games as well.

Shadow Broker and Kasumi are the best imo.

Shadow Broker and Arrival probably most important to the story.

I'd say Broker and Arrival. Overlord and Kasumi aren't really important to the story at all.

Cerberus expansion deemed “significant threat”

By Iris Dunnigan



CITADEL – A report by the salarian Special Tasks Group, warning of the increasing danger of human-supremacist group Cerberus, is garnering attention in the halls of the Citadel Tower. ANN has agreed not to publish the classified report’s contents, but experts within the STG, speaking on condition of anonymity, warn that what was once considered a small and extremely select group has grown drastically in size and power. “There has always been a segment of the human population that believes the Council government is lying to them,” said one agent. “Cerberus exploits that fear.” A confiscated recruitment video included in the report states the Cerberus mentality plainly: “Other species may talk with us, trade with us, even live with us, but when a crisis comes, we are on our own.”

Critics of the report are quick to point out its flaws. “This report covers ground that Spectre intelligence has already covered,” said one Tower insider. ”We know Cerberus has the ability to field many troops, build a stealth frigate, and conduct groundbreaking research. It’s been clear for months, even years, that Cerberus is growing in numbers, but when it comes to how Cerberus are able to do all this, STG only says, ‘we don’t know yet.’ It is past the point where that is acceptable.”



Iris Dunnigan anchors ANN’s “Headlines Now” and often transmits on location for breaking news.

So apparently Cerberus expanded MASSIVELY and mysteriously since ME2.
