Mass Effect spoilers

[ashfae]

Okay, I'm sorry to ask this, but it keeps coming up.

Please, everyone, please can you not post Mass Effect spoilers in here? I haven't been able to play that trilogy yet, and I really want to, and I don't want to know anything about what happens beforehand. But I keep running across spoilers in here that are mentioned by people comparing ME to DA

Are we still hiding DAO and DA2 spoilers?

[ashfae]

Hmm, true, I guess. And the games have been out a long time. *sigh* Possibly I should just suck it up.

[itches]

Sweet, we can spoil other games!

The Princess is in another castle

Mwahahahahahaha!

Is there any particular reason you haven't played Mass Effect yet?

[ashfae]

NOOOOOOOOOO NOT ANOTHER CASTLE!!! *sob* Next you'll tell me that Link saves Zelda at the end of his latest! HOW DARE YOU! ;)

Got pregnant, baby ate my life. I spend insane amounts of time playing my Nintendo DS in ten-minute increments here there and everywhere, but console games are harder to do because I don't usually have the stretches of time they demand (and when I do, they're allocated for things like trying to clean the house). I miss my PS3! Also I thought (mistakenly) that they were just shoot-em-ups, until around when ME3 came out and I learned better.

I was living with my older brother when he and his wife had their first kid. I was unemployed at the time, so I was pretty much just a live in babysitter. I found that I could play games while looking after my nephew because he was at the age where he was aware of the world around him, but couldn't move around again

[ashfae]

Yep, that! During the period where she was young enough to not move, I was either 1) so sleep-deprived all I did was stare into space dribbling a lot, or 2) recovering from a really difficult birth, or 3) moving house (oh, the day when we put all the video games into boxes for moving was sad!). She learned to crawl fast and now needs pretty constant supervision. I should get my husband to play the ME series and then watch him play it while also watching her. ...or convince him to watch her every evening so I can game, that'd be much better! ;) As it is I get my video game fix on buses and during my lunch break at work and the like, hence the portable consoles only. Anyone released Mass Effect for something handheld?

[itches]

Mass Effect Infiltrator was released for IOS devices. I don't have an iphone or ipad, so I don't know much about it.

[tersa]

I had Infiltrator for Android, but my poor phone was overtaxed by it so I don't have a very good review.

[ashfae]

And ohhh, we all have stories like that, all of us! All babies get dropped on their heads. No wonder people are so strange! ;)

Huh, I've just remembered, there was a period where I was able to play games, but I was usually breastfeeding at the same time, so I deliberately went looking for games that could be played with only one free hand. Monster smiting didn't work so well for that, alas! But all the old school point and clicks were mine. ;) (man, I'd forgotten, I was so out of it during those months)

This is a DA comm, though, where you expect the people in it to have played one or the other, or even both. You don't expect the people here to have played ME, even if they're both BioWare games.

[tersa]

No, but as I said in a comment above, this is a DA comm. I think you kinda have to expect to see DA spoilers here after two years. But if you know you don't want to be spoiled about Dragon Age, you don't read a Dragon Age community. La. :)

The community rules still say that spoilers go under text cuts.
