Mass Elevator


Ka-Chan

365 views

"Lukas Shepard was trying his hardest to concentrate. Saren had gone rogue and effectively jeopardized his position on the council, as a Spectre and ultimately the entire human race... He and his allies would have to bring down the leviathan themselves. And yet despite this grave burden of responsibility now weighing down on his shoulders, he couldn't even begin to devise an approach. The annoyingly cheery elevator music softly prancing about in the background saw to this as he stared blankly across the elevator. The Quarian and Krogan seemed to have succumbed to the same audible assault as well, their minds reduced to bowls of intergalactic tapioca. Light rippled across blank, dilated pupils while the sickeningly upbeat techno diddied on in the background.

 

The silence was shattered by a howl as Shepard snapped his head to the right to spot the source. The elevator next to their own was crossing paths during it's ascension. In it a man in bulky, worn armor adorned with gluing blue lights was fending off a mummified creature that was far more hideous then the husks Shepard himself had encountered on Eden. Meanwhile a heavily armored feminine with a cannon for an arm was blasting away at what Shepard could only describe as floating green jellyfish. Another clad in massive red armor adorned with golden eagles and skulls was engaged in hand to hand with a counterpart in black, gold trimmed armor wielding a chainsaw. Despite their independent struggles, they all glanced over simultaneously at Shepard and his party as the two elevators crossed one another. The whole group in the other elevator briefly forgot their conflict, long enough to laugh and point rudely at Shepard along with a variety of other colorful gestures. And just as soon as they appeared, they disappeared.

 

'Man,' Shepard thought, 'I really should have just waited for that elevator' . He briefly glanced over his shoulder to try and get his comrades opinions on the encounter, only to see they were still patiently gawking at nothing while that wretched music carried on in the background. "

 

 

 

 

...Someone please tell me what is with every game made by the guys who gave us KOTOR and big cities filled with running around in circles running errands for people?

 

AND THE ELEVATORS.

 

I NEVER THOUGHT ANY DEVELOPER WOULD HAVE THE BRASS TO SERIOUSLY MAKE INTEGRATED SEQUENCES OF AWKWARD ELEVATOR WAITS

 

BUT THEY DID

 

I have no idea whether that is a good thing or a bad thing but the world of games will never be the same.

How dare you. Bioware is the gods of all game developers.

 

And I actually like the elevators.

 

Me too! The radio host will give you updates on events in the world and even open up new side-quests! The conversations between your other two party members can be quite comedic at times too.

Oh you sillies. You seem to have mistaken my riff for some sort of serious criticism here. Keep in mind I've been playing the game for roughly... 24 hours now? Either way, I enjoy the game.

 

Although that still doesn't change the fact my party members insist on standing eerily still and saying nothing despite how many times I try to interact with them. Couple it with the elevator music and it becomes the chilling pinnacle of awkward game moments.

It makes it when moments when Shepard has gun out out while in the elevator worth while. Plus, we learned some interesting things about the characters, like Tali's Immune System: A Shotugn.
