This was a random idea I had ... what if you could do the Mass Effect series from the baddies' point of view?
So here we have Harbinger as the player character. (Yes, I'm implicitly assuming he's an import from Mass Evil 2 here...)
I couldn't quite decide whether to go for 'tongue-in-cheek' or 'actually serious' here, as you can see from the made-up powers.
(Note: I made this by manipulating various screenshots in Photoshop. As far as I know, Harbinger is not a playable character anywhere in the series, nor do I know of any Harbinger-oriented mods.)
Funny thing is, if the 'Leviathan' DLC rumours are true, then this isn't actually necessarily as absurd as it looks anymore.
Edit: nope, Leviathan didn't do what I thought it would. Oh well, never mind!
Double Edit: and post-Reckoning DLC, I may just have a new favourite multiplayer character!. (Note that Talkie Toaster is *not* the above character; the above character is a manipulation of screenshots from ME3 and ME2.)
For my part, I usually put poor old Talkie Toaster in lurid shades of blue and yellow, to avoid having anyone on the MP teams mistake it for a vanilla Collector. Getting shot in-game doesn't do you any damage, obviously, but it does waste everybody's times. Also shades of blue and green look quite good with the Ascension Stance lightning-thingies.
For the final boss, they should have had Harbinger possess Illusive Man, and as part of the mutation, his face would split into three (in a way similar to those mutant 2–faced cats), thus making him a literal "Cerberus".
"Stops people from being alive"... xD I had hoped this was a preview for a multiplayer character DLC. How would Sovereign by a squad mate? Indoctrinated thrall?
Coloring is always off for me.

Love it! So cool!
