Description
I am very bad at driving the Mako.I am fairly sure my fem!Shep is not actually licensed to drive it, but no one is brave enough to tell her she can't.
There are three of them in there because two was too boring... and anyway, based on the Feros mission, the Mako has room for four. Garrus strikes me as the type who would enjoy roller-coasters, I don't know why. Tali is too polite to comment on someone else's piloting/driving/whatever. Liara... well, this is her first exposure to Shepard's driving.
Also, I really (really really) need a different title, but I am not particularly clever today. I would welcome suggestions.

This picture just made my day - Thanks!
Also - great job with expressions. Garrus FTW (especially on 3rd panel)^^
I'm so glad that Mako is no more in ME2...

I'm happy to hear it brightened your day!
Thanks! I totally agree about the Mako... Although I have to say, once I stopped catapulting off cliffs, running over geth was rather satisfying. *grin*

*laughs* Yeah... Sometimes it was satisfying (like, when you could take down Tresher Maw without a scratch). But the steering system in PC version was awful anyway

By the way, I wonder how will it become with this ME2 DLC's Hammerhead. There's very little about it right now and it makes me even more curious

Ahhh, good times.
I'm pretty sure that my Shepards down a couple of shots of hard liquor before taking the Mako out, judging from how well I drive it. So many rollovers.

I'm blaming engineering. Honestly, what is the point of even HAVING jet boosters if I can't use them to correct mid-fall to keep myself from flipping over? Or to accelerate up cliffs? *pout*

Everytime I played in the Mako I ALWAYS thought about what the other characters would think of my driving. It's impossible to have a smooth ride! I swear, the inside of that vehicle is probably covered in vomit from crew members with weak stomachs hahaha.

After playing the game for the 7th time you get a hang on driving MAKO. Really. Last time I played it I managed to flip it over just twice. But when I played it for the first time... It was a Horror! I thought that Mako is the worst thing that happened to me...
Anyway, This just made my day. !
Always wondered when will one of them eventually snap.

I'm getting a little more accustomed to it, but the way the physics work on it... several tons of metal with multiple passengers should not bounce over a pebble in the road and do a mid-air 180. ><
Glad you liked it!

LioneseTheLion In reply to Rascality [2010-01-25 14:18:44 +0000 UTC]
Yeah. It looks like they forgot about gravity
And the fact that's it's almost a tank.
We'll see if they do anything about it in the sequel.

Yeah.
I really liked the physics engine when it was letting me use biotics to fling people into walls, but not so much when it was letting the terrain fling my tank over cliffs...

Fantastic. I love that Garrus is thrilled. I've seen him stoic and unflappable in regards to the driving, which is hilarious, but this is even better.
Also, Tali's "no comment" is hysterical in itself.
