On the other hand, I'm not sure the comics are enough on the radar of the execs for them to care about creating and enforcing series bibles to keep them consistent with visual media.

It's entirely unreasonable as a request. But Mary is right that there isn't a square inch of Downton that's private against potentially gossipy servants, while the only people likely to see inside e.g., Anna's wardrobe are the Bateses. The problem (which is obvious to the audience and should be obvious to Mary) is…

Certainly by "It's a pity they didn't want you on their committee", which has nothing to do with the difference of opinion and everything to do with getting a shot in.

Especially after the whole War Asset buildup. I was expecting to be told to choose which species' fleet to deploy for a task, which ground army to use to soften up what location… and if the best one for the job was blown up due to choices earlier in the game, well, I guess we'll have to go with second or fourth best.…

Yes, it is, and I don't think there's any question.

I'm not sure that's clear. While I don't recall specifics, I remember at least getting the impression that somewhere underneath it all the original personality is experiencing the full horror and pain of it all, without being able to do anything about it..

To be fair, for most people (including several of your crew) their experience of the geth was the killbots of the first game, who wiped out human colonies, lay distress signal traps for the unwary, and devastated the Citadel. Intellectual knowledge that those were minority heretics (if anyone but Shepard and the ME2…

Real automats had a steam table section in the back for some hot foods, that was served cafeteria style. Still no waitresses per se. Even the coffee was self-serve. (Horn and Hardart served some of the best coffee in the city from spigots shaped like dolphins.)

Though the back-and-forth before Northstar finally came out (including deciding that his telegraphed AIDS-like symptoms were instead the result of him being literally a fairy— or at least an elf) makes him something less than one of Marvel's proudest achievements. (Though by now that's water long since under the…

I appreciate that Jarvis forged his name on a letter of transit, which otherwise exist only in "Casablanca", for more or less the same purpose as they were used in the movie: to get someone away from the Nazis.

Synthesis is clearly set up as a preferred ending by the game. But it also strikes me as the most high-handed and creeptacular: altering the bodies of every single individual in the galaxy down to the DNA without their knowledge or consent.

I'd have really respected the game if killing the rachni queen in ME1 meant no Ravagers, and resulting overall easier combat, in ME3. But Bioware is paranoid about choices causing people to miss content. (With some reason, because many gamers vocally object to it.)

Even before that, she'd been restored to being Kal-L's cousin from the original Earth-2 as of Infinite Crisis in 2005.

"just"?

Though somewhere out there in the multiverse, I wouldn't mind seeing the world in which the original Crisis didn't happen, and Barry Allen is a happily married 30th century superhero with twins.

My Herald started as a sincere but not especially devout Andrastian who slowly and reluctantly came around to the idea that she may really have been chosen by the Maker.

I like Ash more than Sera. Ash learned better (though no one ever seems to give her credit for it), and her basic presumption that most people put their own species first is borne out through the games. (E.g., the big revelation on Thessia in ME3, or the fact that the Salarians are always playing their own game.)

The Wardens have higher standing than the Night's Watch, but between Blights they're still sort of variable. This is seen more in the first game, where one major figure would rather lose without them than risk a bunch of foreigners messing up temporal politics, and absolutely no one will move without seeing the…

You don't need tank/rogue/mage for combat, but there are barriers and devices that require a specific class to get through or activate. If you don't have one of each, inevitably it'll be that one you're missing.

Though "flat ears" is a slur by the (by their lights, authentic) Dalish elves against their assimilated, ghettoized alienage elven kin, rather than humans. (Or at least it was in the first game.) Humans are "shemlen", a reference to their short lives.
