biba video games are written in computer languages, such as C++, C sharp, and if you're feeling particularly masochistic, Java.
there are lines of code that trigger events, but there are also lines of code that call an image, model, or animation from the game's directory.
Like, the game says Garrus Vakarian exists on this map, in the player's view. go into the mass effect model directory, load the file garrus_mesh.fbx, load texture garrus_d.png garrus_spec.png garrus_n.png, use material garrus. Then the code continues with his AI and scripting.
lol it started when i asked if sakamichi no apollo was rlly homo, delorted, then i said 'this is bc the nickname is sakamichi no homo' then homo kept getting deleted for some raisin. (lql even homosapien which made me giggle) no slurs or homophobia going on
how did they figure out that if they put together a bunch of hardware to whatever specifications, then invent a whole language that is created exactly for these random pieces of computer hardware? how was the very first programming language all figured out for the very first time
honestly you're going to have to go aaaaaaaaaall the way back to the history of computers back when it was just a machine with a bunch of doohickies that were either in the 0 or 1 state and they could change the states to do basic math
how that became a language where you tell a computer to calculate the way a cube bounces off another cube while simulating gravity is something beyond the capabilities of my tiny feeble mind

like that's not literally the names of the files, i have no idea what bioware's naming conventions are, but what's wrong with that
