The Official Spoilers Thread.

So, Mass Effect 3 has come and gone, but new games and DLC have arrived to take their place. However, as you may have noticed, most people don’t take kindly to having the latest New Thing being spoiled for them before they get a chance to play it.

This is the place to discuss those spoilers. Do not make other threads. Do not discuss them in other threads, such as the Awesome thread, or on the main IRC Channel #CDN. If you must discuss story spoilers in chat, use the auxiliary channel, #CDNSpoilers. Inactivity in the channel is NOT an excuse to not do so in #CDN. Discussing spoilers about new games in #CDN WILL result in kicking, suspension or permabanning, as per the discretion of the chat moderator.

We realize that some of you are eagerly looking forward to spoiling yourselves on every little detail of incoming games. Some of us aren't. Please respect that.

While this thread is intended to be a free-for-all of information, rumour-mongering, and random guesswork, I will reiterate what has been said elsewhere, both by myself and Overlord: do not post magazine scans, and do not post to links of scans, whether direct or indirect.

Thank you.

Moved from the Awesome Thread.

my source says they're legit.

@Causality

Whoops. I'll be more careful in the future.

So, the picture... I'm okay with this. At least she looks like a turian, though I have to say...

What is up with those crests on her mandibles? They're HUGE!

Wait, wait, wait. Wait. If long cheek crests are female... and head crests are male... was Saren... a hermaphrodite? o.O

This. Changes. Everything!

OT: I love that design. I was with everyone else when that dark horse comic showed the first one, it looked awful. But these pics are nice, still obviously turian but distinctive. J'approve.

Maybe he was just effeminate.

Regardless, I like it, although for some reason I keep thinking it looks a lot like a drell.

(By the way, how do you quote a post directly?)

One thing that bugs me.



Males have round pupils, females have cat-like slits

???

Or maybe there's some individual variation within a galaxy-spanning species, and you're making an assumption from a sample of one.

... Well, she IS on Omega... Maybe she's some teen who normally would be about to head off to Boot and this is her "No, fuck YOU mom" punk phase, with the eyeliner. Maybe she has special contacts?

When someone gets the Omega DLC, I'm sure they'll post on this site and tell us everything.

Heh, I just imagined.

Shepard: Wait, what's up with your fringe?

Garrus: Shepard!

Turian: Um, I'm a female.

Shepard: Oh, sorry, I've uh, never seen a female turian before.

Turian: ... Really? Huh, it's not like we're a rarity or anything.

It... was a joke, dude.

I'm aware. I've just seen the same joke repeated on just about every single Mass Effect site I've been to, so it's made me somewhat irate. Apologies if I came off as snappish.

Nah, it's cool. Didn't realise I was being so unoriginal. Since BSN became the internet's biggest bitch fest, I've kinda started avoiding fan sites.

I find her rather good looking so if this is legit, it is very fine for me.

Cribbed shamelessly from the Escapist:

(Warning: Potential spoilers)





(No, seriously. I know this is the spoilers thread, but this spoils a game mechanic that some might consider pretty major)





Image here - you've been warned.

And spoilers of a different type, more in line with the initial post.

Probably a new enemy.

turians have tits after all it seems.

BIOWAREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

...is it just me, or does the body look like an altered Quarian character model?

I think it's you tbh. She looks significantly thinner than the quarian model.

I'm fine with it, looks good, fitting, although I wish they would have kept the fringe, maybe as a shorter variant.

I'm with you Gunny, that was my first thought as well. I think it's the feet, they're almost identical. That and the boobs, and the lack of that circular ridge thing male turians have around their neck. And the fact that her hips don't protrude the way other turians' do.

Edit: though she quite obviously has the ridge in the top pics, so I guess it's just the lighting/angle of the image.
