[QUOTE=JeanLuc761;35002173]Well hot damn, just found out something interesting. [B][I][U]Some big Mass Effect 3 spoilers incoming regarding the quarian/geth conflict.
[/U][/I][/B]
[sp][B][U]Geth vs. Quarians[/U][/B]
In order to achieve peace between the two races, you need to get 5 to 7 points. These points are based on your ME2 and ME3 decisions. If you have 4 points or below, you cannot achieve peace.
-Rewrote the Heretics (0 points)
-Destroyed the Heretics (+2 points)
-Tali is NOT exiled (+2 points)
-Tali has been exiled/You did not do the Loyalty Mission (0 points)
-Resolved Legion/Tali conflict either using the Paragon or Renegade options (+1 point)
-N7 Mission: Save the Admiral on Rannoch in ME3 (+1 point)
-N7 Mission: Destroy Geth Squadron on Rannoch in ME3 (+1 point)
-Completed Legion's Mission in ME3 (or no peace)
You will need a HIGH reputation for the peace talks. If you rewrote the heretics in ME2 BUT achieve peace, you will gain more war assets, but there'll be less quarians. Also, if you rewrote them, you will face more geth than people who destroyed them, in which they'll face less geth.[/sp]
Looks like our decisions in Mass Effect 2 will matter. A lot.

Holy crap. Is that...is that a positive Renegade decision? I thought those died out long ago, with dinosaurs and unicorns.

Enjoy your Collector Assault Rifle.

Nice to see, isn't it? We may not be able to affect the ending as much as we'd like, but it sure as hell looks like our past decisions will matter in the bulk of the story.
Man I'm dying laughing at how bad ME3 is, there's some giant thread on /v/ about it.
During the ending is Whitney Houston SERIOUSLY playing or was that just a troll video I watched.

Troll video. This is the internet; don't believe everything you see. ESPECIALLY on /v/.
[QUOTE=DX_V;35002225]Good thing they didn't use that huh? It might have been good.[/QUOTE]
[sp]I think the reason they didn't go with it was because that would have been even worse for the Reapers image then this ending, at least with the way it is now we can't completely comprehend the reasoning. For example, why would the Reapers come to the conclusion to destroy all advanced organics to prevent synthetics from destroying all life. If it was a simple solution like that I would have been pissed and felt as if Sovereign was a gigantic douchebag for saying its beyond my comprehension.[/sp]

Are you sure? Cause man at this point I wouldn't put it past Bioware.
[sp] the old man and the fucking kid standing in front of winterspace.jpg made me lol and cringe so damn hard, then the screen fades to black and a window saying BUY OUR DLC pops up [/sp]
spoilers, i guess but jesus christ

this is so terrible, oh god. it's one of the most stupid, melodramatic, hacky things i've ever seen in a videogame, like if this was in a movie or a scene in a tv show everyone would be laughing at it.

Guys, I know a lot of you are not regulars of the thread but please, for the love of GOD, stop posting spoilers without properly tagging them.

I'd wager it that it's needed to balance out Tali being exiled as the New Game default decision. [sp]Otherwise the ideal outcome wouldn't be possible.[/sp]

Press X to punch Reaper.
Also any word of that patch? I like to see what the fuss about it's intentions are

If it's an unofficial video of a game that's not even out yet, you can conclude that it's a spoiler. I don't mind seeing them, but a lot of people do.
All you need is a tag/link saying "This is gameplay from ME3. Minor spoilers dealing with Shepard."

Unless I'm mistaken [sp]peace between the geth and the quarians is not possible if you're doing a non-import.[/sp]
[QUOTE=JeanLuc761;35002444]Ashley's appearance still irritates me. The hair is okay; the casual outfit is not.[/QUOTE]
I didn't like her ME1 version though, that's about it.

Whoops. Must have missed that when scrolling over. Sorry.
[QUOTE=JeanLuc761;35002596]Whoops. Must have missed that when scrolling over. Sorry.[/QUOTE]no problem.
but yeh, that video is very weird. I know bioware can do emotional stuff okay but just everything about it gives me a weird dragon age 2 vibe.. like it's a work in progress or something.

You know what, you're absolutely right. Since Legion wasn't recruited, I just realised that [sp]the heretic mission isn't possible[/sp]. Very interesting. If ME3 is designed so that the best outcome is possible from fresh, but the best means only with an import, I would be far more satisfied.
Although I don't know whether or not the minimal-squad new game is default, or the 'significant loss' pre-set.

Well, the best ending [sp]doesn't necessarily require peace between geth and quarians. You know how you need more GaW points to make up for bad decisions in the past? Well, there you go.[/sp]
Also, since I'm amazed that the thread hasn't been closed yet, I'm casting a vote for the new thread title. Mass Effect Megathread: RUINED FOREVER! Edition.
Mass Effect Megathread: Right Click to reveal spoilers.
Mass Effect Megathread: Bedtime Stories
Mass Effect Megathread: [sp]Saving you from yourself since 500million BC[/sp]
It's 9 PM somewhere in the world and it's Monday. y u taunt me origin? :C

If nothing else, the music is going to be superb.
Might I recommend making the new thread as close to [b]8AM EST Tuesday[/b] as possible? The number of VPN users will be relatively low, and the last thing we need is 5 pages of "not unlocked yet" posts to begin the new thread.

Oh, before I forget, here's a banner idea from ages ago. Original was by General Omega, I just added the transparency.
