So a ****?

I may be wrong, I remember reading somewhere he was a ****. Is there a mod to make him a WHITE man?
No. ***** are worse than South Americans by orders of magnitude. There's only like 3 ***** in the entire Mass Effect trilogy.
As for the mods, I'm not sure. There's plenty of different retextures for all the squadmates and NPCs, so you'd have to go and look through all of them.
He does get noticeably more pale in ME3 than he was in ME1.
Where to look for non-woke ME mods?
I never modded the remaster, so I wouldn't know about that.
But there are no anti-woke mods for Mass Effect to my knowledge. As for non-woke, I'd say the majority of them are that. If a mod does some gay **** (like adding more niggerfaggots), they usually mention it upfront because they see these things as the highest virtue.

Wtf are you smoking? What **** looks like Kaidan?
Born in Singapore, raised in Canada, looks med / east European, Alenko is a slavic name, voiced by an American.

He's clearly meant to be an ambigious mutt. But no South Asian / **** in there.

I played KOTOR for the first time with mods and I reckon they added a lot of ******* under the guise of 'diversity', because there was a lot of ******* and the mod just promised to 'diversify' NPCs. :sad:

You gotta learn the language of the enemy. They deliberately misuse words so normal people like you would give them the more charitable interpretation of intent behind their actions.

I thought Kaidan Alenko was always considered Canadian of Ukrainian origin? His family was stationed in Singapore at his birth, but he is Canadian. And Ukraine here was deduced by fans from the name.

I knew he was Ukrainian, but I didn't know he was Canadian. That means he was probably descended from Nazi refugees so maybe he's actually the best companion. :scratch:

Raised in Vancouver, officially. Also the name doesn't mean too much, I could be called Ngubu but it wouldn't make me a ****** lol. Tbh I always took him as some partial-hispanic mutt or greek / turk mix.
I wouldn't think too much into it, he's clearly meant to be a bit ambigious.

Definitely not **** though. They'd ramp up the jeetness 100% if so. :lol:

Like half of Bioware are Canadian-Ukrainians. Zeschuk, Muzyka, Watamanyuk, Karpyshin, etc. Makes sense that they would want to do a little bit of self-inserting.

I don't think I'd be able to point out which area the ME2 music comes from. It's very forgettable.
yeah, that's because there's too many tracks, and all of them are split into a dozen of pieces that play for a very short time in the game.

Any signs of life? After Bioware cremated Dragon Age this is the only reason why I still aknowledge Bioware's continued existence. After Anthem and Failtard I hope they're aware EA will more than likely pull the plug if they screw the pooch again.

They laid off the Dragon Age half of the studio. Bioware Edmonton is now Mass Effect only.

Interesting how this place became the Mass Effect HQ for a couple of weeks after the JAG win. There wasn't nearly the same impact when it nearly won in a previous nomination.

Niche investors who actually play games must see the writing on the wall and dip out of these companies, leaving only the "prospectus" type investors who blindly follow trends (e.g. DEI) and eat the quarterly reports at face value.
This means that the ones who would be able to force course correction are no longer there to question the decision of CEOs on investor calls, leaving only VC investors, who are tone deaf when it comes to treating entertainment as an industrial product. This must be what leads to these companies death spiraling, because if you're even a semi-aware leftist gamer, you have to look at Veilguard and realize that no one wants this ****.
"But it's the message that matters" doesn't hold all the water. You don't just burn money and fail spectacularly on purpose if your goal is to propagandize.

Leftoids in cinema solidified their control of messaging in the 60/70s not only because they supported each other in getting positions, but they made sure to produce quality movies people would watch which made it hard for any stakeholders to argue against what they were doing. Game devs haven't had that kind of discipline since at least 2012.

****** on Jacob's loyalty mission have ammo and clips, despite being stranded on the planet for 10 years.

My headcanon is that they wanted Zaeed to have two cool scenes with the ejectable clips, so they changed it for the whole game.

Adept in 1. Either Vanguard or Sentinel in 2 and 3, depending on difficulty.
Biotics are only cool in the first gaem, because 2 and 3 have stupid shield/armor/barrier system. And if you play on easier difficulties where most enemies have no shields to block the biotics, you don't need those anyway.

Okay you're like the 4th person here I've seen praise Zaeed. I barely remember a thing about him, just that's he's a hardass. What did he do to charm everyone?
