@ZaidH Fable was very ambitious, but in the end, it was not as nuanced as I would have liked. But much like Howard Stark, it was limited by the technology of its time. Ah, I remember how it was impossible to get a proper halo or horns until you had to decide the fate (kill or let go) of a merchant at the end of Act 2:



Mass Effect was an odd one, you could not be truly evil because Reapers were cast in that role, but being a Renegade with the whole "ends justify the means" attitude had a few moments. Still, I did not take that route and I only did one playthrough. But hey, they are making part 4 now!

MF has decent advice sometimes, that's where I learned about the Daevabad trilogy that I mentioned to you before. As with any reviews it can be hit or miss, but if you know what you like it can be helpful at times.

@DoctorEldritch That image encapsulates the Fable games so well 😂😂😂 Everything I read about Peter Molyneux (the creator of Fable) is just so entertaining 😂

It would've been amazing if they implemented an inverse of the "best" ending—the one you get with the highest alliance points—but in this renegade ending, let Shepard seize the Citadel or something like that. Speaking of Part 4, N7 Day draws near 👀

That sounds pretty cool! I guess it will take a long time for A.I. to match the personal touch that these critics and reviewers provide.

@ZaidH He is entertaining, that's true. One may even say that his entertainment value rivals that of his games 😅

I guess that would be a bit out of character. Shepard never (as far as I remember) blatantly disobeyed orders; it's just how he got results that were different. He had no "ambition" to rule the galaxy or somesuch.

That being said if they make Part 4 with a new main character (like they do in Dragon Age), then making them an operative of what's left of Cerberus could be an interesting take. There such ambition would not be entirely out of place.

Ah, yes, the N7 Day. Interesting how they dedicated a special day to Mass Effect, did not realise it was big enough to have one of those. Any special plans?

AI is god in making comparisons, the "If you liked A, you may like B" type of recommendation. Critics and reviewers are better at helping to understand if it is worth it to try something new or different, the "You like A and B, but try C because X" type of advice. To me, at least. So everyone has their merit and uses.

Facts lmao 😂

That's true, but I would've liked an option where Shepard sees how inefficient the Citadel Council is and somehow takes control of it to combat the Reapers. I love your Part 4 take! Speaking of out of character, they just announced a new Mass Effect live-action series by Amazon during N7 Day 😅 Seeing what they did with the Yakuza live-action, it will be interesting to see how this pans out.

I actually made my own AI book recommendation website to see how the AI works, and it is exactly as you described 😅

Oh btw, I finished The Color of Magic! What a great read! The past few days have been busy as hell, so it was refreshing to read something clearly divided into different acts and regions—it felt like a proper adventure. Here’s hoping The Light Fantastic actually reveals what Rincewind's deadly spell is 😂
