Mass Effect 2's Cut 'TechnoHippie' Is Basically Begging To Return In ME4
One of the most appreciated aspects of Mass Effect is the quality of the universe, because it's likely that every question has a clever answer hidden in the game's code, whether the weapons in the first game technically have unlimited in-game ammo or a set interesting. characters with complex backstories and characters, BioWare rightfully gets a lot of credit for helping Mass Effect stand out and feel alive.
With a galactic setting as vivid as Mass Effect's , it's no surprise that many concepts and characters were cut during the development of each of the games. Notably, Mass Effect 2 has a lot of truncated characters , and while some concepts were carried over to the playable characters, many were left out entirely. While some characters were cut for obvious reasons, there should be a return in Mass Effect 4 because their concept is too good to pass up.
Perhaps the biggest loss to the Mass Effect 2 team was the Techno Hippie, who would not only give the team great technological abilities, but also be a 45-year-old man with a "stereotypical" personality. joint smoker. His calm and nonchalant demeanor would dramatically change the tone of anyone who remained tense about the seriousness of the suicide mission. It's sad that players will never see the scenes where the crew of the Normandy discuss a mission that will surely lead to everyone's death, and this guy is one of the janitors, even though he'll probably forget half of it. which was immediately said. After that.
Perhaps the most embarrassing thing about him is that he is 45 years old. This is almost unheard of among Mass Effect employees, as their fast metabolisms usually see them live into their 40s. Perhaps his longevity was due to a slower metabolism, but his age will still play into his comedic side a bit, as while some of the crew could be considered middle-aged, the Techno-Hippe would be old enough for any . - She is. . of a kind.
With Mass Effect 4 still in development, BioWare has an opportunity to correct the mistake that caused the Techno-Hippie to be removed from the series. Despite being left out of Mass Effect 2, he probably felt out of place in the rest of the game, he could fit in very well in a future game. All that is known about the game is that it will take place after the end of Mass Effect 3's "annihilation" and Liara will play a role in it, meaning that her isolation habits may be more likely since the journey has slowed down significantly.
This will depend on the state of the galaxy at the time of Mass Effect 4, as it may take many hundred years for new ways of travel to be discovered. If it had the same pacing as the first game, if it took place during a time of relative peace in the galaxy, its inclusion might not have been as out of place as it would have been in other parts of the trilogy .
With BioWare's main focus on the development of Dragon Age: Dreadwolf, it may be a long time before everything is known about Mass Effect 4 . While this may offend longtime fans of the series, it also means that development is still fairly early and most of the game is likely still in the conceptual stages. Big things are being teased for Mass Effect 4 , and if the hippie techno ever makes its debut, it will be a major inclusion in the game.
Mass Effect 4 is in development.
