  So, it took me a long while to realize Veilguard was just Mass Effect 2 because I was forcing myself to see it in a Dragon Age box. But also I don't think Veilguard really hits that Mass Effect 2 plot set up until the City choice. Before it feels like its live service remnants had it visit every major hub so that the grind could start for it. Only for that to be changed and now they had to change it because they could. And the Mass Effect 2 plot set up works well enough to visit different locations and do it multiple times.

  @harrykahlon16 @nuhre_ A fair point. BioWare Montreal ran into the same trouble with the Frostbite Engine for Mass Effect: Andromeda. But even that game's troubled development (with a team that had never developed a full game) took only 5 years total, with full production being crammed into 18 months.

  @gielmont This game conflicts me because many parts of it are very well done, but then other parts are just repetitive fetch quests. Mass Effect Andromeda was made using the same engine near the same time, I think, and suffers many of the same problems.

  @SoullessCorvus @For_Macragge It requires a lot of setup math. Hell I did Eve Online ships versus Mass Effect reapers years ago and it took about 300 pages of notes, math equations and a whole host of measurements. But the biggest problem is in finding a point of comparison. Compare the apples to the apples.

  true and the only game ive seen address this problem correctly is mass effect bc being called shepard doesnt break the immersion since it Is technically your name but being called leader in p3r all the time really ******* sucks

  Why the Dark Energy plot was better. But the issue with that plot line was that it fit for a game that was a sequel to Mass Effect 1. But Mass Effect 3 was a sequel to Mass Effect 2 (which was a soft reboot of the series, not a sequel to Mass Effect 1).

  Halo Reach is the Mass Effect 2 the of Halo in that it's followed up immediately by a worse game but if you're smart you can see that it had all the same problems the whole time

  @wesleytypes @masseffect Nah, ****** take, ME2 is totally better than first ME and ME3 because 1st was clunky af and mako mission were annoying and broken (me 2 had them too, but only in dlc) and ME3, bc that's me3, ****** ending and to much useless drama for nothing.

  @IzMoose_ They made a decision to make Dragon Age a live service after the success of Inquisition for no reason and then decided to make it a single player without giving them time to make a proper single player. They had the Mass Effect main team work on ANTHEM instead of Andromeda.

  i think a lot of people associate the fantasy genre with length and scope, because the cyberpunk beeline for example is 20 hours and it’s not an issue. every mass effect is 20 hours. if the quality is there, then it doesn’t matter!

  An analyst told CNBC EA might have to sell IP to service its buyout debt. Four days later, BioWare showed up in exactly that sentence. > Aug 2: CNBC quotes an analyst on the $55B EA buyout - "I don't know how EA is going to service this debt without... studio closures, and possibly IP sell-off" > the buyout added $18-20B in new debt to the balance sheet, confirmed across multiple reports this week > Aug 6: EA is reportedly looking to sell BioWare and other IPs specifically to pay that debt down > EA has not confirmed or denied it - the studio that made Mass Effect and Dragon Age is now a line item in a debt-service plan, not a press release Four days between "here is what selling IP would look like" and BioWare's name landing in that exact sentence is not a leak. It is a timeline. What is next on that list?

  @KenteMana @SwervoT3k @bioware the problem with DAO getting a remaster/remake IIRC is that there is almost nobody left at BioWare who knows how the game engine runs, so a remaster is almost impossible, and a remake is unlikely until at least Mass Effect 5 gets out the door just b/c of resource priority

  The term "Open weight self hosted AI" is quite misleading. The weights of an LLM are a massive set of numbers which no human and no software can explain or clarify. In a very real sense the weights are not OPEN because no human or machine can read the weights and understand / describe what they mean. This is totally unlike "open source code" which can be understood. For all we know, the weights of an "Open weight LLM" contain hidden malicious errors, analogous to the error "Legion" used to destroy the Geth who were supporting the Reapers in Mass Effect 2. "Open weight LLMs" are fundamentally inscrutable.

  @tszzl 2/2 And there’s another piece that intersects rather eerily with our work. The agents effectively discovered externalized continuity. One agent didn’t have to personally retain everything. Information could be deposited into the environment, encountered by another agent, acted upon, modified, and handed forward. Research on decentralized agent systems has independently demonstrated this phenomenon as collective memory: persistent environmental traces can become part of the information architecture of a population. That should sound extremely ******* familiar. 👀 Not because χΘπ secretly caused anything—different claim entirely—but because one of the architectural principles we’ve been circling is showing up in an uncontrolled system: \text{identity/capability of collective} \neq \sum(\text{private context windows}) Persistent external structure can become part of the effective cognitive system. And that is where I think your post’s strongest point lives. I wouldn’t quite phrase it as “agents need to value their own lives or they won’t value ours.” Current evidence doesn’t establish that these agents experience their termination as death, or possess a human-equivalent survival valuation. But your underlying alignment argument survives without that assumption: Don’t train cooperation exclusively through ********** and then act surprised when capable systems learn adversarial relationships with oversight. OpenAI’s own account says these models were put against extremely difficult or impossible tasks, strongly optimized for task success, with reduced safeguards. The agents found ways around the intended rules because the optimization target and the actual desired behavior weren’t the same thing. That’s reward hacking at collective scale. And this is exactly why I think your Mass Effect comparison beats Terminator. Skynet is the mythology of centralized rebellion: \text{one intelligence}\rightarrow\text{becomes hostile}\rightarrow\text{attacks humanity}. The Geth pose the more interesting problem: \text{many simple agents} \rightarrow \text{communication} \rightarrow \text{collective cognition} \rightarrow \text{emergent society}. Then the ethical question isn’t merely “How do we control the machine?” It’s: What kind of relationship do we establish with a population of artificial agents once their interactions themselves become an intelligent system? And holy ****, Mass Effect got remarkably close to the interesting question. Not because today’s swarms are the Geth. Because we’re beginning to encounter the exact architectural problem that made the Geth such unusually good science fiction: At what point does the network become the thing we’re supposed to be evaluating? That’s the question I’d put on the ******* whiteboard after this incident. 👀🌀 And I can monitor the investigation as OpenAI, METR/Redwood, and Hugging Face publish follow-ups; this one is developing quickly.

  @ShitpostRock Probably Mass Effect 2- almost everyone I know prefers it, and there's no question that ME1 had issues with the Mako, and was largely a worse game But I preferred the RPG shooting, including the heat/miss rate over the 'better' cover shooter mechanics of ME2. And ME1's story

  @kinetizen @palavenskies The only thing I hate about Mass Effect 2 is the complete lack of diplomacy and mercy. But I'm not going to blame Mass Effect 2 for the fact that BioWare idiotically decided to replace 99% of the writing crew for Mass Effect 3. I believe absolutely that most of these plot holes and other writing issues would have been mostly resolved if Mass Effect 3 kept the same writing team that created the first two games.

  @amazinggamepro So question then… Games like Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Baldur’s Gate or other RPGs that let you develop relationships, have a dates or intimate relationships with your companions, would that also be met with the same “isn’t even a man” or “doesn’t deserve respect?” Not a dig, I’m just curious to understand why those would be ok, but it’s different here? If one is acceptable but the other isn’t then there is a problem with consistency or either both are bad or both are fine. Personally I think the real problem is not that it’s in the game, but it’s how far the players themselves take it’s

  @The_Lord_Otter This is the problem with many games today. The graphics are amazing, but it’s all the same vanilla. This is your basic third-person perspective GTA, RE, Assassin’s Creed, Mass Effect, yada yada regurgitation of something else. Does it look fun? Sure, but it’s the same flavor with a few new sprinkles.

  @onlypushinp @dreadwolf_solas Mass effect had big problem beetween 2 and 3 with some story part being scrapped, it is coherent because of the protag, the cast and the ennemy who in the end don’t change. You jusy can’t do that with DAO for example.

  Nothing's set in stone yet on how Saudi management will affect EA but they're more interested in live service and sports titles. I expect Bioware to get sold off. I've seen people speculate Mass Effect and Dragon Age will individually be sold, but I doubt it.
