I guess, but then you have to explain why he'd turn the sky red, how that even works, etc etc etc. If I'm approaching this and my focus is on consistency of canon throughout all 3 games, I get the decision to just be like "change the skybox."
Just throw a line into the codex. It's not like this was a serious question people were asking before this reveal today.
Sure, I guess.
I will never agree with the idea of trading something like atmosphere or tone just to make something canon, unless it's amazingly stupid and even then it can still be worth it. I feel like the game developers agreed with that idea as well in that they were interested in making the best possible game and forced the other stuff to work around that.
I don't have a problem with the lens flare, but I do prefer colors here. It'd be nice if the actual game could get these changes before it comes out, though I guess it's too late.There's no fixing the stupid lens flare, unfortunately.
I really dislike that they've given every scene a strong yellow/green tint, so I removed it. I prefer it without.
Good to know. Thanks all!
How so? I'm not sure I recall any references to it being different from the rest, other than basically being a Reaper 'scout' so to speak, to trigger the rest.
Tried to grab as high res as I could from the trailer and 4K playthroughs of the original games. OG ME has heavy motion blur in cutscenes so it's super hard to get a perfect still shot.
As I've said, the reasoning for the different styling can be sound as anything, it's an artistic preference, there are no "worse" or "better".
This one can at least be attributed to physically better volumetric lighting.
Well Sovereign was a Capital class Reaper while most of the Reapers in their fleet were Destroyer class. Also he's the only Reaper that generally has that whole red lightning thing as I think it only reappears in the Destroy ending in ME3.
Lucy James mentioned in her Gamespot video that including the MP suite would be the same amount of work as they have put into the ME1 remaster, so they decided against it early in development.
We don't know. It certainly seems reasonable to assume that Sovereign was probably a high-ranking reaper, if such a thing exists.
On EA choosing the ME3 femshep model as the default model for ME1/ME2.
No, no, noooooo, nope.
ME1/ME2 femshep is the best. Receipts for proof.
This had better be an option.
Haha, yeah read something once about the whole dark matter original plot, way better and doesn't invalidate all the nuance with AI throughout like the last minute reaper motivation does. My very first reaction playing it 8 years ago was "wait, does every other galaxy have their own Reapers that do the same thing?" I figure they must of fell in love with their silly ironic plot idea of creations destroying their creators so much so that they didn't see how stupid it is:

I would have been fine if they didn't fix or update the multiplayer at all and just chucked it in there as is.
Idk felt more of an unintended consequence which fits better for me, and less of a localised sentient life threat which makes the finality of Reapers more fitting. And only knowing the tease of it I would hope they would stick the landing with endings thematically appropriate for Shepard, of course they could done that with AI too but they didn't. Seriously best ending shoulda been due to major choices throughout resulting in more lives saved then come down to a trust Edi/Geth or Destroy imo, cathartic for those that put in the time across all games.
