Mass Effect Megathread: DING DONG BANNU edition

[superdinoman]

[QUOTE=DarkWolf2;35066617]If I've played through ME1 and ME2, but lost the save games (fuck :( ), would I be missing out on much? How much data can I input to define the decisions I would've made in previous games?[/QUOTE]

Grab this save editor, go download a Mass Effect 2 save file(just use google and you'll find websites with plenty).

Edit the ME1 plot areas to whatever you want, edit your level, name, ME2 plot section, and then when finished import the save into ME3.

This works too :v:

I found it funny but was also happy that [sp]Garrus and Tali develop a romantic relationship with each other if they weren't romanced in the previous game[/sp]

Flaming Grenade-Launchers.

This game is just too great.

Its pretty neat to see that Bioware is actually having squadmates interact with each-other.

[sp]I promised garrus we'd survive and he died on me because of harbinger :ccccccc[/sp]

If you mean when [sp] the vehicle you were in exploded[/sp] Then no he didn't die because I checked [sp]all the endings and he shows up in one of them still alive, as does Liara and she was with me too on that mission[/sp]

possibly effective military strength counts there

I only had 3100 on this play through legit when that happened. After editing it was still the same outcome besides some changes.

I chose [sp]synthesis[/sp] and only [sp]joker edi and liara were there[/sp]

[QUOTE=Egevened;35066797]I chose [sp]synthesis[/sp] and only [sp]joker edi and liara were there[/sp][/QUOTE]

I think it was with [sp]destroy[/sp] that shows [sp]Joker, Liara, and Garrus[/sp]

Edit:

Anyone see this yet?

Edit: It works

[Feuver]

Hum, for me [sp]It always showed Joker/Tali/Garrus, and if I took control of the reapers/synthesis, I had Joker/EDI/Tali. I think the priorities are as follow: JOKER always first, Then Edi if she survives, then your love interest. If Edi does not survive, Garrus shows up. [/sp]

awesome sauce.

[The Gubefather]

Anyway to give myself credits? I'm on an alt playthrough just to screw around and I want to buy and upgrade all my shit right away.

[Fingers!!!]

A friend of mine said he [sp]he had sex with Liara, but how? Didn't she say that asaris reproduced mentally? And that's why they only got females?[/sp]

Asari can have physical sex, but I'm pretty sure they only reproduce using that mental shit.

Any way to change the Effective military assets?

[Moose]

we went from shit endings to alien vaginas

[Fingers!!!]

[QUOTE=Moose;35067225]we went from shit endings to alien vaginas[/QUOTE]

Man it's not that at all, I would totally hand out my ass to a krogan if I could

[Feuver]

[QUOTE=Moose;35067225]we went from shit endings to alien vaginas[/QUOTE]

Well, it's a good way to forget about the endings.

I mean, repressing the endings and then thinking about more interesting subjects, like alien mating.

[Skellyhell]

Finally home from work, installed and ready to play. Thing is, i had ME2 on PS3, and i cant be arsed digging it out to get my character code. Anyone have a good code so i can look funny? I remember seeing a crack addict shepard for ME2 way back when

[DoomMarine23]

Facepunch is where we learn some interesting things.... :v:

[QUOTE=Moose;35067225]we went from shit endings to alien vaginas[/QUOTE]

Don't forget robot cameltoe.

[Thomas45]

Why would Asari evolve with that 'ability' if it was pointless until they met other space races.

[GetBent]

So is it possible to [sp]Save the Rachni, Grunt, AND Aralakh Company? I know about saving the Rachni queen and Grunt but what about the rest of them?[/sp]

[Feuver]

[QUOTE=Thom12255;35067314]Why would Asari evolve with that 'ability' if it was pointless until they met other space races.[/QUOTE]

When you can straight out mate with your brain, I don't know how much further you can evolve, to be honest.

No, it's either [sp]Rachnis or Aralakh. Grunt always live[/sp]

[QUOTE=kman866;35067348]Alright guys, question. [spoilers] Where the hell is the collector base that I kept at the end of the second one...? I'm on the final earth mission and I haven't seen or heard anything about it other than seeing pieces of the human reaper in the Cerberus base...[/spoilers][/QUOTE]

I don't think that ever actually affected anything

[Feuver]

[QUOTE=Saza;35067357]I don't think that ever actually affected anything[/QUOTE]

Yes, changes the ending. It's a bit less expensive in military assets to get the good endings.

[superdinoman]

[QUOTE=Delta616;35067107]Anyway to give myself credits? I'm on an alt playthrough just to screw around and I want to buy and upgrade all my shit right away.[/QUOTE]

You can give yourself as many credits as you want like this

[QUOTE=superdinoman;35031473]Open utility

Go to file then open then browse to your origin mass effect 3 folder Mass Effect 3\BIOGame\CookedPCConsole

Open Coalesced.bin.

Open the following tabs
bioinput.ini
sfxgame
sfxgamemodebase
bindings

Then at the bottom put in something like

( Name="NumPadZero", Command="initcredits 500000" )

Save it and you're done. If you press the key in game when you are over the number of credits you'll lose credits to drop down to 500000 as thats the setting. You can make it anything.

Other commands that work
( Name="NumPadOne", Command="god" )
( Name="NumPadThree", Command="setparagon 0" )
( Name="NumPadFour", Command="setparagon 1957" )
( Name="NumPadFive", Command="setrenegade 0" )
( Name="NumPadSix", Command="setrenegade 1900" )

I took these out of my ME2 files and they all work.

Edit:

You can also have infinite ammo on the main assault rifle, setting it to true on every other gun seems to do nothing for them.

This command also still works
( Name="NumPadTwo", Command="ToggleFlyCam" )[/QUOTE]

Or you could get the save editor from my post on this page and then edit it there.

[QUOTE=Feuver;35067220]Any way to change the Effective military assets?[/QUOTE]

Its built off his ME2 save editor but you can access the GAW section, haven't figured out if its possible to tweak it without just editing the MP save section.

[Canuhearme?]

Just finished the game, and all I got to say about it is the ending was [I]amazing.[/I] I'm sure in a week or two I'll be criticizing it or talking about how there could've been a better way, but the ending on it's own merits was great.

[sp]Mass Effect was [I]always[/I] about the struggle between organics and synthetics, it was just never made overtly obvious. Also the Catalyst being a child was symbolic as fuck.[/sp]
