Poll: I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favourite store on the Citadel... or is it?

[Inkidu]

Well, you can endorse more than one thing. They should have had a couple of clips lined up. BioWare should know that gamers are thrifty like that. They want their discounts.

I think those shopkeepers will be a tad too busy trying to survive from a reaper invasion.

You know, this thing was actually lampshaded by one of the Bioware sites.

Cerberus Daily News, which at first were official in-universe news stories. Most are fan-written while Bioware works on Mass Effect 3. The story for this previous April Fool's day was that Citadel Forces were investigating potential advertising fraud, where every shop had the same voice claiming that the store was the person's favorite store on the Citadel.

Nah, I think the endorsement was purely for paragon/renegade boosting. Besides, they should be happy they get any publicity at all.

I really hope for the Councils sorry ass that they promote me to supreme ruler of the universe after saving their alien bagina's TWICE. In my paragon playthrough, I killed them and in my renegade playthrough it felt like a kick in the nuts when I saved them. Them appearing in ME2 didn't really help at that either... anyway I hope I get something big in return.

I'm also curious about some of the loyalty mission decisions you've made. Erase genophage cure data? Destroy or rewrite the geth? Encourage or prevent quarian/geth war? Kill or save Sidonis? All I have to say is I'm getting hyped to see what BoiWare is going to pull out of their hats in ME3

Oh my god, this thread has completely cured my illness. I thank you, OP, for the single greatest thread ever.

The priiiiiiize...

 

[Lukeman1884]

I love how all the shopkeepers instantly believed you were the real Shepard even though you face was likely very different.

 

[Android2137]

Yes. The consequence will be that everyone is so sick and tired of hearing Shepard's voice. I grew so sick and tired that I would save up just so I could buy everything in one fell swoop and never visit again, not to mention I was so embarrassed at being an endorsement.

 

[Android2137]

Well, I did find it kind of odd how no one ever noticed more than one shop had Sheppard's approval. Bioware, if you read this, I expect a match up between Sheppard and some angry shopkeepers in ME3.

But it's not like they're rivals. All three shops sold a different category of product. One sold medi-gel upgrades, the other sold tech and armor upgrades, and the last one sold weapon upgrades.

 

[Tsaba]

Curses! I saw the last item only after I voted! Bah. Seriously though, considering how Bioware works with jokes I totally expect it to happen at some point.

Bioware has jokes? ... hmmmmm
oh dear..... >.>;;

 

[Gladiateher]

There is no situation that Commander Shepard can't either talk or shoot his way out of so I doubt it lolz.

Ah, but he said "my favourite store on the citadel", but "favourite store which sells this specific brand of product", meaning favourite store out of all different manner of stores that are / would be on the citadel.

Seeing as how they all sell something different anyway, I don't see why they would care so long as their sales go up.

Seeing how just about everything seems to boil down to whether or not you make humanity stronger or you make humanity have lots of friends I doubt it'll be more than a "How far to one extreme can you get" contest.

Also as Tali noted, the Quarian/Geth war, provided the Quarians were victorious (more likely if you destroyed the heretic Geth) would mean cannibalizing the fleet for supplies, so the most paragon choice would be to say "no war" and save the heretics while the renegade would be to destroy and encourage so that neither would pose a threat to humanity.

The two extremes thing would be consistent with all other moral choice games ever made, including the two previous installments of Mass Effect, so I don't see how the plot is a mystery to anyone. >_>

 

[Biodeamon]

probably..but i pretty endorsed any store for a discount.
"I'm commander sellout and this is my favourite thing to do besides punch annoying reporters"

 

[ChieftainStag]

why do I have s feeling that if Shepard gets chased by shopkeepers then the geth (if allied) will form a giant geth and fight the reapers Mortal Kombat style?
