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.

LOL I know that struggle. I was today like the fem!Shep during the driving lessons, and the instructor behave like a Garrus

It's pretty much law now that if you're doing fan-art/fan-fiction of Shepard, they can never be a good driver.
Also, at least one person has to learn that Shepard can't drive.

Loved driving that thing. I can make it dance and even skid it.
I love driving, so anything that has an engine in it and can move, I will manage to drive it like a pro XD

I love imagining the reaction of my squad as I 'drive' the Mako.

(by 'drive' I mean 'send in a general direction at as high of speed as possible, and probably will roll it at least once a minute')

... Wow, I didn't even realize I'd picked all LIs.  To be fair, this was drawn before ME2 came out, so at the time only Liara was a potential love interest.

I actually didn't notice that either actually.   I was just talking about how Shepard is a Sex God(dess).  All of them being Love Interests makes it even funnier for me.

Glad it made you laugh!  And it's good that someone enjoyed driving the Mako - I was horrible at it, so it usually provoked sad faces and groans on my part when I had to make the attempt. XD

Aww, I'm sorry.   While driving the Mako would sometimes make me a bit mad I loved driving like a crazy person.

Actually no - I haven't read Peanuts in ages, hadn't even when this was drawn - but my mother says that Lucy screaming describes exactly how she feels at work sometimes! The image must have stuck.

Am I the only one who could actually drive the Mako reasonably well?
Even if I usually chose to jump as high as I can.

Well, if Tali wanted Shepard to stop driving like a maniac, she should have given the player a reason not to!

Orig-P2 [2012-08-15 03:12:58 +0000 UTC]


That seems about right for the way the Mako handled...and I think Bioware made Shepard's driving being THAT bad cannon.
Always had trouble with that all terrain, never gets stuck vehicle. As for the passengers reactions...yeah that does seem pretty in character for what I thought about all three of them.

I generally had a whole imaginary peanut gallery going while I was trying to drive the Mako, since it was more fun that way. ^_^

Driving the Mako frustrated me a lot in ME1.

Then I played ME2 and got the Hammerhead.

And I realized, I missed the Mako.

Go figure.

Oh man, I was so glad there was no more Mako is ME2... I didn't realize everyone else had issues with driving that thing, I'd always imagine the passengers just like this when I was doing a mission- its funny to actually see it drawn xP

Rascality In reply to takisis [2011-11-19 00:36:05 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I was relieved it was gone, too! I think I assumed everyone had problems with it because it was driving a unicycle while trying to juggle three buckets of rocks.

... I managed to tip it over. More than once, actually. If it lands on its back, you get a game over.
I think I deserve style points for the time I tipped it over and dropped it on a Thresher Maw, though.

Guardian54 In reply to Rascality [2012-03-10 04:46:29 +0000 UTC]

I actually landed the thing on its back multiple times and it spontaneously rolled over again... I had no idea why. Shepard on autopilot is obviosuly a driving God... and I am not when I control him.

Glad you enjoyed!

I'm really bad at vehicle sections, but I was worse than usual with the Mako. Driving out of bounds, accidentally jetting off of tall mountains, running over the local fauna, getting eaten by thresher maws... I have bad driving down to an art, but the number of times I committed vehicular suicide is actually sort of impressive.
