I for some reason can't quote, but to get the last Paragon/renegade option when [sp]speaking to TIM inside the Citadel[/sp] you need the 4k/5k (good options/not-good options) score to unlock that.
[QUOTE=Kendra;35043224][sp]Best part about the endings is that they're literally the Deus Ex 1 endings and you can choose them like in DXHR. :v:[/sp][/QUOTE]Exactly fucking this! I felt like I had just jumped in to that when I got to the end. Only more irritating.
[QUOTE=Sardonus;35043359]the first one or the most recent one? maybe I'm a stickler for classic stuff but I only thought the newest one was about a 7/10 or so it was good but it really wasn't fantastic I know that's gonna get me flamed to hell and back but I really didn't feel it was amazing. I felt it had a pretty weak plot, seriously lame RPG elements and strange difficulty. The sneaking around though was some of the best fun I've had in games though, so it was worth the price there.[/QUOTE] Deus Ex 1 was an examination of the human need for guidance and the inevitability of man made gods Deus Ex Human Revolution was an examination of the human need for self improvement and what is lost and gained in the process both presented well rounded and complex arguments for all sides of the discussion and wove it perfectly with the gameplay and storytelling, so that by the time you had to make your decision you had already developed an honest and personal opinion on the matter they both told their stories perfectly and ended beautifully. The only difference is that Human Revolution just straight up asked you what you thought, giving you time to think over the information you had been given and come to a consensus.
I also wasn't bitching, per se about Jack I just had a new found interest in her breasts.
Though I don't mind [sp]how they revealed Tali's face (apparently it was hers, anyway)[/sp].

I might not have really been analyzing the whole thing like I should've. It's still installed, I should probably whizz through it again, sorry to hate on it.
[QUOTE=Sardonus;35043436]I also wasn't bitching, per se about Jack I just had a new found interest in her breasts.[/QUOTE]Nipples everywhere.
One thing I am really enjoying in ME2 is seeing my old squad appear in spades Seeing Jack made me all fuzzy (aww she's adorable now :v:) I loved seeing Mordin back on Sur' Kesh (but he sounds a lot different) Seeing Thane makes me weepy (One of my 2 favorite ME2 characters) and Miranda's kind of a bitch, but I love her.
On a serious note though, the ending did outright infuriate me and I really have no interest in playing the game again now.
'Combat Troops' makes a return on one of the Cerberus missions. Hnng.
[QUOTE=Doctor Zedacon;35043430]Exactly fucking this! I felt like I had just jumped in to that when I got to the end. Only more irritating.[/QUOTE] except in DXHR adam jensen is purposefully separated from the rest of humanity, so when you make your choice you don't have to worry about what happens to, say, your asshole computer tech. The problem with implementing similar endings in Mass Effect is that it cuts your avatar off from the characters you've spent 3 games building a bond with. It tries to turn Shepard into this sort of Christ figure like Deus Ex did with JC, but without the being Christ part.
This is going to be one of those rare moments when I just flat-out refuse to acknowledge the given ending to a work and instead substitute it with a better one.
Alright so I'm at the Citadel [sp]after cerberus attacks[/sp] And now I can't find Barla Von? I need to turn something into him. Anyone know where he is this time around?

Fucking Elevator.
yeah, I really feel the endings in Deus Ex 1 were much better because we hadn't been crafting JC Denton for 3 games, or have we been going through an epic trilogy where all our decisions carry over If Mass Effect was one single game, the endings wouldn't have bothered me but it's a trilogy, and the fact that the choices you made throughout the series mean jack shit really irritate me Did the writers from the first 2 games quit, or something? This one seriously seems like the writing took a nosedive.

I mean, in DXHR, you'll feel bad for Jensen but you won't feel like you've actually lost much. Everything just sorta falls in to place and it feels like that was how it was going to be from the beginning. But not with this.

[QUOTE=Mr. Scorpio;35043135]So, any word on the endings yet?[/QUOTE] They are pretty much what has been discussed
How do I import my ME2 save to ME3? :(

I can't understand the people who actually think this game is something awesome [video=youtube;lVU6vHe5quw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVU6vHe5quw[/video] Just look at all this QUALITY [IMG]http://i40.tinypic.com/21jaequ.jpg[/IMG] [B]QUALITY[/B]
unfortunately, knowing the endings actually completely ruins my chance of playing the game more than once I'm so sorry FemShep. I wish I hadn't played my maleshep first... I screwed you over. [sp]What's the point in doing sidequests or trying to save lives, or unite the Quarians and the Geth if the whole galaxy just gets fucked over anyway? You're only wasting your own time :C[/sp]
[QUOTE=Sardonus;35043577]I feel this is one of those very rare issues where an entire fandom agrees unanimously about how shitty something is I have literally not seen a single soul try and defend the endings yet[/QUOTE]I'd almost be willing to buy the game all over again if Bioware would make the ending not shitty.

And to see someone I rescued in the first game make a cameo in the third? This is why I loved Mass Effect. It did shit like this. It made sure all your decisions paid off in some way. Except towards endings.

CREATE SYNTHETICS TO SAVE ORGANICS FROM SYNTHETICS BY WORKING WITH SYNTHETICS TO KILL ORGANICS SO THAT THEY DON'T GET KILLED BY PEACEFUL SYNTHETICS FUCKING MASS EFFECT
[QUOTE=Egevened;35042478][IMG]http://i42.tinypic.com/wksmjp.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] You know every time I see this I think of Zaeed as some half-insane loner who hides out in his woods preparing for the eventual collapse of civilization. Actually that was Zaeed all along.

I liked them a lot better when they were "BEYOND MY COMPREHENSION" although he did give me fair warning. That makes no fucking sense.
Where...to...put..save games?
So after talking with someone from EA(Australia), I should have pre-ordered ME3 from GAME because, EB Games didn't have any exclusives to go with the N7 edition. :(
