BioWare/Memes

The video game developing company BioWare is notable for the Trope Overdosed games--which produce quite a few memes:


 * Baldur's Gate:
 * You must gather your party before venturing forth.
 * Recycled in Knights of the Old Republic, with a variant in Jade Empire. Nodded towards in the Dragon Age series.
 * You have been waylaid by enemies and must defend yourself!
 * Go for the eyes, Boo, GO FOR THE EYES!! YAARGH!!! *squeak*
 * Recycled for Tali's little Attack Drone
 * Also shows up as a loading screen hint in Dragon Age.
 * Mass Effect:
 * "Shepard." "Wrex." "Shepard." "Wrex." "Shepard." "Wrex."
 * "I've had enough of your snide insinuations!" *SHEPARD PAWNCH*
 * "I've had enough of your disengenuous assertions!" *SHEPARD PAWNCH*
 * "I've had enough of your tabloid journalism!" *SHEPARD PAWNCH - MISSED! - SHEPARD HEADBUTT*
 * "I have no time to justify myself to your viewers, I have a galaxy to save. Excuse me." Cue Shepard dancing on the disco with pink battle armor.
 * "Because it's a big stupid jellyfish!"
 * Referenced in Mass Effect 3, when dealing with an indoctrinated hanar.
 * I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite page on TV Tropes!
 * "I'm Garrus Vakarian, and this is now my FAVORITE spot on the Citadel!"
 * SIR ISAAC NEWTON IS THE DEADLIEST SON OF A BITCH IN SPACE!
 * Shepard removes Tali's mask to reveal... [[hottip:Explanation: The player has never seen a quarian without a helmet on--the first time Tali takes hers off, the camera cuts away, and fans decided to supplement for themselves.
 * Tali's Hips
 * Similarly, Miranda's bum is very visible through her Painted-On Pants, and the camera knows it.
 * Mass Effect 3 gives us the same treatment with Kaidan, if he was romanced since Mass Effect 1
 * ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL.
 * THIS HURTS YOU.
 * I KNOW YOU FEEL THIS.
 * Ah, yes. (airquotes) "Reapers".
 * We have dismissed that claim.
 * Garrus is impressed.
 * He says it again in Mass Effect 3 when you blow up a door with a Cerberus fighter.
 * Thane, on the other hand, is excellent. And one hell of a drug.
 * "Can it wait for a bit? I'm in the middle of some calibrations."
 * Now an Ascended Meme. His love of calibrations is referenced several times in Mass Effect 3.
 * Talibrations
 * Geth do not infiltrate.
 * Geth do not intentionally infiltrate.
 * Toyed with now to insanity: Bioware added playable Geth to multiplayer, and of the two classes they can play, one of them is Infiltrator.
 * "What can you tell me about memes?"
 * "Well, Shepard, memes are--"
 * "I should go." (trollface.jpg)
 * Deal with it.
 * I AM A BIOTIC GOD!!!!
 * I think things... and they HAPPEN! Fear me, lesser creatures, for I am biotics made flesh!
 * I began to SMELL MY GREATNESS!
 * I am a great wind that will sweep ALL BEFORE ME like a... A GREAT WIND!
 * FEAR ME!
 * Thank you for bringing me X, T'Soni.
 * Memetic mutations; heavy risk, but the priiiiiiize.
 * You humans are all racist!
 * Hey, everyone, this store discriminates against the poor!
 * Blasto, the first Hanar Spectre.
 * "This one has forgotten whether its heat-sink is over capacity. It wonders whether the criminal scum considers itself fortunate."
 * It's Kelly's fault!
 * Don't Fuck With Aria.
 * This page isn't wearing Heavy Armor; I cancelled my preorder.
 * What? No Udina? This is an outrage!
 * Now we have to spend all day computing pi because Joker plugged in the overlord. Also, EDI's response "That was a joke."
 * "I WILL DESTROY YOU!"
 * This one dates back at least to Juhani in Knights of the Old Republic. (Who, incidentally, shares Jack's voice actress)
 * Shepard can't dance.
 * Jacob? Who's he?
 * That big muscular guy. Isn't his name BLAST HARDCHEESE?
 * "Party temple! It is a club!"
 * DING DONG BANNU
 * Kai Leng: Cereal Killer. The fans took it from there.
 * Emerrrrrgency induction port.

 * Anderson was born in London.
 * Marauder Shields: the True Final Boss of Mass Effect 3
 * SPACE MAGIC.
 * LOTS OF SPECULATION FROM EVERYONE!
 * Artistic Integrity.
 * Dragon Age:

 * We're RIDICULOUSLY awesome.
 * Warden senses tingling...
 * Have you ever licked a lamp post in winter?
 * Oh, look. I have cheese. Also? Virginity.
 * Goddamnit, Anders.
 * For a short while around the time of the demo prologue, The Order Dictates was a Dragon Age II meme. Why are Isabela's boobs so large? THE ORDER DICTATES!
 * MAKER NOOOOO

 * Knights of the Old Republic: Meatbags.
 * The Old Republic: 29:30
