Mass Effect 2's Cut 'TechnoHippie' Is Basically Begging To Return In ME4
One of the most valuable aspects of Mass Effect is the complexity of its universe, as it is likely that the logical answer is hidden in the game's code. From things like why weapons from the first game have unlimited ammo in the game, to complex backstories and interesting characters with personalities, BioWare deserves a lot of credit for helping make Mass Effect .
With a vibrant galactic setting like Mass Effect, it's no surprise that so many cutting-edge concepts and characters are developed in every game. Mass Effect 2 in particular had a lot of characters cut, and while some ideas were carried over to the game's characters, many were scrapped entirely. Although some characters were removed for obvious reasons, Mass Effect 4 should bring them back because their ideas are too good to be wasted.
Perhaps the biggest loser on the Mass Effect 2 list is the "techno-hippie" who not only makes up his team with brilliant technical skills, but is also a 45-year-old office worker, a stereotypical stereotype. His accommodating, oblivious nature was a surprising difference from others weighed down by the weight of the suicide mission. It's sad that the players never got to see the scene where the crew of the Normandy is talking about a mission that could lead to the death of everyone, and this guy is in the hall, even if he immediately forgets half of what was said.
Perhaps the most surprising thing about him is that he is 45 years old. This is unprecedented for mass effect salamanders, as their lifespan is typically less than 40 years due to their fast metabolism. Perhaps his long life was due to his slow metabolism, but his age only added to how strange it was, as some of the crew members could be considered middle-aged, techno-hippies were very ancient for the human race.
While Mass Effect 4 is in development, BioWare has a chance to fix the bugs that kept techno hippies out of the series. His absence from Mass Effect 2 is likely due to the fact that he doesn't fit in with the rest of the game, so he could make it into the next game. What is known about the game is that after Mass Effect 3 's "Destroyer" and Liara's capture, the journey is greatly reduced, so the isolation experience could be even greater.
This will depend on the state of the galaxy during Mass Impact 4, which could be hundreds of years from now if new modes of travel are discovered. If the galaxy moves at the same pace as the first game, set in times of relative peace, the inclusion might not be as out of place as the rest of the trilogy.
Since BioWare has focused on developing Dragon Age: Dreadwolf, it may be a long time before we know anything about Mass Effect 4 . While it may be painful for longtime fans of the series, development is so early that it means that much of the game is still in its infancy. Big things are being revealed for Mass Effect 4 , and if techno hippies can make their debut, that would be a great addition to the game.
Mass Effect 4 is in development.
