Exactly this.

Humans will be the refugees fleeing some sort of crisis. The aliens will all be nationalistic xenophobic assholes that have to be convinced humans are okay by your actions in the main quest.

Some particularly nasty bad guy will propose building a wall around the planet to keep the humans out. He'll also eat human babies to make it perfectly clear how unreasonable his opinions are.

I'm sure there's also going to be some genetic disease the aliens have that can only be fixed if human DNA is introduced to theirs. Because only through species mixing can there be a future for anyone, amirite?
>>
>>332500348
Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of.

I mean, why would they make a game with actual conflict, genuinely good and bad intentions on both sides, actual depth.

I can see that the humans have to land on the alien world, because ship problems or whatever.

So the aliens put them all in huge camps, you know, because they're scared of the friendly, nice, harmless humans that are only fleeing danger.

And the player has the option to romance one of the beautiful, charismatic aliens that volunteers to help the humans out in the camp. But of course this angers many unreasonable aliens that aren't smart or caring enough to realize how great humans are.

NO, how much the NEED humans. Because you see, the aliens were all going to die if the humans didn't show up and fuck all their women.

SpaceTrump will propose building a Dyson sphere to entirely encapsulate the alien solar system to keep the humans out.

He'll use cheap self-replicating machinery to complete the project on time and underbudget, and he'll make the humans pay for it.

Except it's a Bioware game, so it wont work and will threaten to kill all the aliens. Somehow the humans solve all the problems associated with it by moving into the alien's towns and homes and converting their culture. How inspiring!

>If it was made by a jap it wouldnt be propaganda.
Sure it would, but it would be that bizarre toothless propaganda that only japanese people understand.

The aliens would all be deeply religious and their church would be basically catholicism. Their religion would have prophesied the coming of the humans 100,000 years ago as their savior. The alien pope would of course be ultrasuper evil and use the modern church to attack the humans. All this would be set in some sort of techno-tribalism where there's advanced sci-fi technology that people use on their simple farms. And there'd be some weird undercurrent of "youth culture" necessary to win the day.

Oh, and the main character would be spiky haired 17 year old boy that knows for a fact that friendship is truly the strongest power in the universe. Until he wakes up and realizes it was all a dream. And then he wakes up again and realizes he's a robot programmed to dream this specific scenario so he can save the physical embodiment of the Universe that has taken the shape of a 16 year old girl with pink hair.

Fucking japs man, gotta love em.

Just for once can we have a story where humans are the most advanced society going out into the cosmos and ruining everything for the sake of our own freedom?

I'm tired of being the spunky little shit that knows better than everyone even though they've been this amazing space faring galactic republic for thousands of years. At some point can't we just acknowledge that there has been no evidence of amazing space faring galactic civilizations meaning we can totally come up with some bullshit where humanity got there first?

I'm okay with ancient ruins of space faring civilizations past that fell into ruin and failed to get off their own planet/out of their own system before wiping themselves out.

But, just once, let humanity be the fucking assholes that got there first.

What? Fucking really? Four years on and I never heard that. That's almost as bad as the fucking endings. Choices throughout the entire series didn't even matter. Fuck, they should have just made the games a testament to nihilism and apathy, because that would have fit way better the way they managed to make everything you ever did not matter for shit.

Hes saying in all likelyhood they will be Humanoid, and it is an annoying trope outside of pretty much anything bar Star Trek / Live Action sci-fi.

There would be a defense for that somewhere if it just didn't literally make your choice effectively worthless. That was a pretty large moment in the first, one where you couldn't stop and think, but you had to decide on the fly between effectively justified genocide or mercy.

But hey, they just find another one. Why try? Why choose?

That's what I'm saying. It's the good ol' tumbling down sort of nihilism. Fuck it all, that would have been interesting, and it's the only thing they have the capacity to make in regards to choice.

How the fuck are you supposed to answer any of those questions based on that tiny fucking description?

Utterly moronic

>>332504052
Well it both did and did not. It was supposed to be the very last Rachni queen in existence, so it should not have come back from the dead, even in a engineered slave form.

With that said, it could have been made better by not dropping the queen entirely until ME3. By adding choices in the course of ME2 pertaining to her, it could have made sense.

With that said, it is one of those choices where beeing a bleeding heart comes back to bite you in the ass.

Except not, because the enemy composition does not change one bit, as it should have with a traitor/manipulated queen.

This is what an adult industry looks like. Every game must be an edgy political statement now. The ones that aren't are embarrassing and drag the entire medium down (mostly Jap games)

Of course it would be propaganda, militarism and colonialism is still a sore topic in that region thanks to WW2. It would either be far left propaganda about how they need to abolish the military, or far right propaganda about how colonialism benefits the savages.

Ending 1: humans conquer the natives and establish a new independent colony. Human culture and technology dominate, the native species are forced to integrate or are exiled to small reservations. The flag of the new state is red.
Ending 2: humans submit to the natives. They embrace the native culture, and humanity's technology is replaced by completely different, yet totally comparable alternatives the natives use. The nation's flag is green.
Ending 3: humans and natives live in perfect harmony, enriching each other's culture and giving birth to never seen before technological wonders. The union stands under a blue flag.
Ending 4 (DLC): you kill yourself IRL for falling for Bioware's shit one too many times.

I don't think it'd be so bad if BioWare just calls a canon ending to 3, most reasonably Destroy. Many would bitch about it, but it would solve a lot of problems in any further games they want to make set in the Milky Way.

They ripped off Freespace 1/2 completely now, with TIM being a copy of Admiral Borsch, Reapers being less spiky Shivans, Proteans sharing Ancients' "mysterious old alien race holding the key to winning the fight are actually totalitarian slavers" characterisation, and "victory" staving off the inevitable (Shivans will just STL-slog to the next system, and in ME, apocalyptic organic-machine war is now apparently only a question of time).

What are they going to rip off now? Blue Planet? Inferno?
