So the Geth are obviously /m/, but are they robots?
They're sentient, they have their own sense of "culture", and they are in a sense individuals, merely linked to a hivemind. Even in-universe people don't call them robots, but synthetic lifeforms.
Yes, AI are still robots.
We are Geth.
>>12403578
they are robots, they were built not born
they just ended up evolving on their own
>>12403578
>Even in-universe people don't call them robots, but synthetic lifeforms.
I've always joked that that's the Mass Effect version of political correctness.
But yeah, they're totally robots. Some of their bodies are made of more organic looking components, but even then they're constructed.
>>12403578
yeah, I'd fuck a geth, what of it?both physical and data form
>always thought the Geth had a cool monoeye
>play ME
>meet Legion
>see those 2 little lights on his head
>realize those are his eyes
>the monoeye was his mouth
No sir, I don't like it.
>>12403844
ME2*
>>12403844
Fuck you, anon.
I find it funny that in every named cycle (current, Protheans, Leviathans), the reason shit goes south is because they develop AI that evolves into sentience and turns against them.
>>12403844
Oh fuck this shit.
>>12403901
>>12403868
You seriously never noticed them?
>>12403925
Well I don't entirely blame you. Before Legion you don't see many living Geth up close.
Legion was the best character in 2. Shame you never get to hear 80% of his dialogue unless you edit your save to have him early.
>>12403889
I thought one of ME's recurring themes was how repeatedly assuming AI and natural life can't coexist as equals is exactly the reason why coexistence continued to fail time and time again.
That fear and paranoia ultimately are the basis for said fear and paranoia.
>>12403923
I thought they were...
I dunno, I never really cared about them. Legion's Eye has always been the monoeye to me, I guess I always kinda figured that those two were just for... aesthetics or something? Or because he didn't have enough glowy bits, maybe.
>>12403955
The geth are shown to, always, ALWAYS be total bros. All they wanna do is not get shot at while building a Jupiter brain so none of them ever have to be alone ever again. Also, they're kinda like robot puppies.There's a reason my favorite multiplayer class is the Geth Engineer.
>>12403979
Geth classes were best classes in Multiplayer
>mfw playing Geth Trooper and barbecuing everything with the Flamer
>>12403844
No it isn't. It's clearly animated liked the monoeye is his eye.
>>12404000
Geth infiltrator with wallhack and black widow with both penetration mods. Shoot through walls all day.
>>12404000
>Geth Juggernaut
>Wide Hex Shield
>Extra Duration
>Full support turret
Sets up a kill box your allies can sit in and shred enemies from at least somewhere on a decent number of maps.
>>12404028
Did you ever try a GI plasma shotgun build? It's pretty great.
>>12404036
I've only ever used the plasma shotgun on the sexbot. I don't quite like charge-up mechanics in general.
>>12404000
>barbecue
>Arvis
Why does that joke still make me laugh
>>12403844
I always thought it was a three eye set up with one big mono eye
>tfw Legion sacrifices himself to give the other gethbros full sentienceI'd totally fuck a quarian though.
>>12404077
on that note
>romance tali in 2
>romance tali in 3
>skip jack mission by accident don't have points to save both
>pick the geth
>tali jumps off cliff
I still think I made the right choice.
>>12404077
>Every multiplayer geth has a bit of Legion in them
>Every multiplayer geth is Legion
>Legion fights on in every geth class
>Everyone who plays as a geth is playing as Legion
>Legion will never die.
Well I feel like playing ME3 multiplayer now. Is it still populated?
>>12404122
Wouldn't know. Stopped playing it a LONG time ago, don't even have Xbox Live anymore to check.
>>12403680
>Can put people's brains into the geth consensus with the right cybernetic upgrades
>Which Shepard almost certainly would let them scan if they needed to
>Each individual geth is now sentient
>It will be entirely possible to romance a geth
>Data sex will almost certainly be a thing
I don't have a reaction image for this.
>>12404122
PC is still basically instant matching, I'm surprised at how active it is. Waa playing last week.
Get your galactic readiness up
>>12403844
if that's its mouth why doesn't it shoot lasers or atomic fire out of it?
>>12404268
We have no proof it can't.
Do Geth infiltrate?
>>12404533
Geth do not intentionally infiltrate.Accidentally due to organic stupidity is an entirely different matter.
>>12404542
Dude! check out my new fleshlight!
>>12403844
>>12404001
You're actually both wrong, all 3 are eyes. Geth Primes and unique Geth work on a tri-eye system.
>>12404533
The Geth were by far the most interesting race in Mass Effect.
what if the geth got the sigma virus and merged with the borg?
>>12404843
>brainwashing them was the paragon choice
I don't know, I still kinda disagree
>>12403844
Well figuring they were designed to look like quarians, its kinda obvious isn't it.
Also BTs are best species.
>>12403670
>I've always joked that that's the Mass Effect version of political correctness.
See I don't see that because the ones who intially called the Geth that are the ones who want to genocide them the most.
>>12403979
>The geth are shown to, always, ALWAYS be total bros.
Except in ME1 where the ones you met were all filthy heretics.
>>12404895
And you were right because that turns out to be the bad choice in ME3.
It's pretty much the only paragon choice in the series that is.
>>12405643
I tended to go full paragon boyscout in the first 2 games (unless it locked me out of loyalty), but that was the one instance where I couldn't pick paragon purely from gut feelings.
>>12403578
We are all Geth
>>12405844
Yes, but what do we call you?
>>12405874
Geth
Shame Legion never got that damage to his torso fixed.
>>12405844
>>12405874
>>12405882
I don't know why, but this conversation brought a little smile to my face when it happened in-game.
>>12405886
The seccond he started speaking I knew Legion was going to join us and I knew that he would be the coolest member of the team. Having a geth join the crew was one of the most awesome moments of Mass Effect 2.
Every conversation with him is amazing.
>>12405889
And you won't get to hear most of them unless you use Gibbed to make him a party member early, because he was originally meant to be a character you could get right away instead of near the end.

>mfw the ending
>>12403578
They were built to serve another species as manual labor. That is the root definition of the word robot.
>>12405894
I like the one where you meet Kal'reegar
>>12405922
You've got a Geth RIGHT BEHIND YOU
>>12405894Goddamn, I forgot how sexy Tali's voice was.
>>12405924
You know odinarily that wouldn't fly with me
>>12404832
Geth do not intentionally spec into geth infiltrator.
>>12405933
But Shepard does.
I want toCuddlea Geth.
>>12405929
>odinarily
Why don't you sleip on it, maybe you'll change your mindgard.
>>12404000
>tfw never unlocked a single Geth multiplayer class.
>>12403670
It's not even a joke, it really IS their politically correct term for robot (that is sentient).
>>12406309
Then you're missing some of coolest ones.
It's awesome to play as a Geth Pyro.
>>12406321
I'm not sure if I could get another chance. Fuck reinstalling Origin.
>>12404895
You get more War Assets in ME3 if you rewrite the heretics though
If you play your cards right, the Geth can give you one of, if not the highest, amount of War Assets
>>12406366
I think the only rivals in terms of war assets are the Krogans and combined humans themselves. Maybe Turians.
Alright /m/, confess. Who did you side with and/or let die?
Ashley or Kaiden
Wrex or Mordin
Miranda or Jack
>>12407194
Let Ashley Die
Wrex is my bro, Mordin sacrifices himself in ME3
Paragon a compromise between them
>>12407194
Ashley lived, I've never once given Kaiden a shot.
Wrex lived and mordin sacrifised himself to cure the genophage.
I let Samara kill Morinth because, I liked my new justicar.
Miranda and Jack "were asked to make out"
And Legion sacrifsed itself to give us all intelligence. It will be honored. Also Admiral Raan was asked if she had concidered possible settlement sites.
Kai Leng got stabbed, it was for Thane.
Everyone that could be saved got saved.
>>12404208
>>12407194
Play 1: Kaiden lived, Miri and Jack compromised, Wrex lived.
Play 2: Ashley lived, Miri and Jack compromised, Mass Effect 3 wasn't played.
