Description Hey everyone!

I've recently been incredibly infatuated with the Xbox 360 title, Mass Effect. It's such an immersive experience with beautiful visuals and graphics, top-notch voice acting, and fun, addictive combat. When I'm done with it, don't be surprised if I write a review of it in my journal, I'm that much in love with the game.

There is one major problem with the game, though.

The elevators are extremely slow. Like, the the first elevator made to carry humans was probably ten times faster.

I understand that the elevators are probably meant to hide load times, and it's neat to hear your characters chat and hear the news when your in an elevator, but they are entirely too slow.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure the game takes place in the 2160s, but I just said 2100s to be safe (as it's more all-encompassing).

And I suppose that's me in the elevator as an Alliance soldier. I hadn't really thought about it. Still, you can customize your character's physical appearance so much before starting a new game, I wouldn't be surprised to get this result if I tried hard enough. I've already rendered the face on the front cover of the box completely obsolete before. ;D

This probably took about 30 minutes, and don't be surprised if it heads over to my scraps pretty soon, but I just thought some of you who have played the game might relate. Plus, I haven't submitted a proper deviation in a while, and I figured this could pass for now.

Enjoy and please FULL VIEW!

Thanks!  I wouldn't mark Plympton as one of my influences on any front, but he's a unique artist and I respect what he does.

Love the facial expression,
And the elevators are very annoying when you're trying to get on with a mission as fast as you can.

The first game's in 2183. Yeah, entirely too slow, but I'd actually prefer them to the nightmare that were the loading screens on ME2

Silverbaneblood [2010-09-13 01:33:48 +0000 UTC]

! I soooo agree. Like, I feel like I wasted hours of my life just waiting for the elevators to get from place to place....it kinda killed the game play every now and then when something awesome would happen and then I'd head over the the elevator and....wait....for what seemed like forever. This made me giggle. Nice concept.

lol awesome! Those slow elevators drove me crazy. But I kinda missed the elevators in Mass Effect 2 though..because I loved the conversations the characters would have in them.

Yeah, funny how the loading screens were actually less interesting than the slow elevators. But I really love ME2, even more than the original, so no biggy.

It's like, "Take the elevator up, Faith!" Even though she can scale up just about anything.
And you don't even have amazing Aliens to listen to while you're on it. D:

Haha, the elevators are atrocious! Everytime I get into one I pray to God that my squadmtes have a funny/weird conversation (which only used to happen near the beginning of the game unfortunately...sigh).
