Hey, spoiler tags... USE THEM!
Anyone know of an effective way to hack in your Readiness to 100%?
hah I always knew the Illusive Shit's [sp] base was in the Horsehead Nebula[/sp]
Also, I don't know, but I would've loved if at the end Mass Effect 3 turned into a Strategy game. You could place different assets at different place, placing the Krogans as the first line of attack and using squad mates to pierce through defense mechanism against the Crucible. The Crucible could've been some super EMP device that only affects Reapers technology, allowing ships to target weak points while the troops you send planet sides have to take care of the present Reaper forces. That would've been pretty interesting, and on par with the Squadmate system and their effects at the end of ME2.

It's not necessary if you make some calculated decisions, explore, and do sidequests (and maybe a little multiplayer on the side.) You only need 4-5k Effective to get the best outcome anyway.
Also [sp]the conversation with Illusive Man at the end of the game was really quite interesting, I enjoyed it immensely at least.[/sp]
[QUOTE=Feuver;35068078][sp]
I mean, this was brought up by someone earlier, but WHY can't you convince the Reaper framework that co-existence CAN WORK, and point to the geth and Quarians. Wouldn't THAT be the Paragon ending, that even the Reaper has to acknowledge that Synthetic life doesn't have to destroy organic ones. Hell, even EDI proves it by being a completely synthetic life-form that acts now like a human, and even wants to protect them, without even having to be code to do so. Of course, this accounts for the Power of love ending, but seriously, Paragon is the power of love ending. All the way from Mass Effect 1 to Mass Effect 3, you fix everything by showing how things can work out if everybody thinks together toward an ideal. You even end several hundreds years old war by your simple voice, and you can't even speak the Reapers out of a Cycle that makes no sense because they are based on Calculus that can be wrong?
TO add more to this ,because I can, you speak directly to a Reaper on Rannoch, after killing it by yourself. If you again go Paragon, you can fucking intimate the Reaper into acknowledging the power of an united Galaxy. AND EVEN THEN THAT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. ARRRGH[/sp][/QUOTE]
This is what I'm expecting them to do with either DLC or free patches.
Wait, it's EA.
DLC.
But yeah I really liked the [sp]Control the reapers ending, though I am a sucker for full or mostly good paragon ends. [/sp]
And having finished it myself, I can safely say that the bullshit people are spewing about bad writing is unfounded and is just a bandwagon.

I modified coalesced.bin and changed the amount I get through MP and then loaded a local server. Killed one enemy, got killed, suddenly 100% ready.
Don't recommend if you plan to play online as it might be taken as cheating.
Hey, I just found a new plothole: Asari have [sp]prothean tech for thousands of years[/sp], don't believe Shepard when he talks about reapers.

Oh, don't be mistaken, the writing is amazing during the entire game. The endings are fucking horrible in my opinion.
Holy fuck, this entire page is pretty much spoilers. Anyway, is ME3 worth buying now? Or should I just wait for a price decrease?

[sp]The more I think about it the more I realize the whole Dark Energy undertones was a red herring, the entire Mass Effect series was about the struggle between organics and synthetics.[/sp]
[sp] In my Synthesis ending, it was Joker, EDI and Javik that came out.[/sp]

Didn't Liara mention something like [sp]"I think we're the first ones to do something like this", when you activated the Beacon? It's possible that they used the technology in the Prothean finding to advance their own technology, but didn't have access to the VI that talked about the Catalyst[/sp]

I can safely say that it's the most fun, both gameplay and story wise I've had in a game in a long time.
If not the most fun, then definitely in the top three.

They could have handled the endings better, yeah.
I'm wondering what happens to [sp]Shepard's consciousness in the Control ending though. Was the AI or whatever in the reapers replaced with Shepard's mind?[/sp]

I assume it was more like the ending in Deus Ex [sp]Shepard and the catalyst merged into one mind[/sp]

Actually, I think [sp]Shephard takes places of the young kid as the Catalyst. The reapers will now do what Shephard believes in, so I suppose if you are Paragon that you'll use them to fix the galaxy, but even then, Shephard leaves Earth alone after he took control of them. It's really fucking stupid how they don't explain anything and leaves all the questions in suspension until the MMO or a DLC comes out. [/sp]

So basically all Joker had to do to get rid of the reapers is to simply [sp]instead of shooting Sovereign with that ultra missile, shoot the dome of the Citadel. NO MORE REAPERS EVER GOOD DAY SIR.[/sp]
I was kinda hoping he'd all [sp]Stay there with the Reapers, use some to rebuild Earth, allocate others to scientific research etc.
Leaving Earth is such a waste of resources, considering the war is now over, and the hero of the galaxy now controls the most advanced technology probably in the universe.[/sp]

[sp]No, that would've made the cycle impossible to stop, actually. The catalyst isn't in the citadel by itself, it's the consensus (Like the geth's) of the Reapers, and it appeared in Shephard's own mind, and not onto the citadel itself. I suppose it is because the Reapers consensus wished to speak with the first organic to finally be able to complete the crucible. Destroying the citadel would've forced the next cycle to build the citadel, then build the crucible. Pretty hard, huh? [/sp]

[sp]This. With the immense power of controlling the Reapers, Shepard should have stayed and help rebuild all the planets that the Reapers originially destroyed.[/sp]

[sp] I think that the Reapers' consensus would have expressed itself differently. The Catalyst, and my recollection of the end is slowly, slowly clouding over already, pretty clearly said that it controlled the reapers.
Though truth be told, I wish I saw your 'consensus' thought as the most likely right now. Would have been better than what happened.[/sp]
[QUOTE=Canuhearme?;35068435][sp]The Catalyst wasn't exactly a VI, it was pretty much something a lot more incomprehensible then even the Reapers. The last 10 minutes of the game was pretty full of symbolism. There's a reason Bioware made the Catalyst a child. Hell, for all intents and purposes Shepard was talking to God.[/sp][/QUOTE]
[sp]As I said before ME3 came out, I'm sure there would be plenty of finer points that we could argue about what they meant and all that stuff people do for literature but really that stuff probably went straight over Bioware's head and they just did whatever. The Symbolism probably has no depth and it's a matter of what you interpret and read into it.[/sp]
You know, like they made you do with books in high-school. Everything has a deeper meaning, doesn't this small choice of words change everything?
Well, that's pretty much what I meant, [sp] but it's the same in the geth consensus, everybody is actually a leader, because it's a perfect democracy (When they ain't indoctrinated by Reaper forces, of course). But in fact, we should just call the Catalyst the Deus Ex Machina, the god of the machines that decides whatever happens with the world.
I just wish we could destroy the catalyst, and by hope just destroy the Reaper all the while. He's like, oh hey, my solution won't work anymore (Why, were we actually winning the war?) so here's a few choices I made for you. Then the player goes "Hm, I'm here right now, how about you listen to what I have to say, because you're certainly not the holy grail for solutions, since yours has failed miserably this cycle." [/sp]
And I will link to what a Deus Ex machina is : [url]http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DeusExMachina[/url]

[sp]Having the overall theme of your game be a red herring would be incredibly stupid, especially since the real theme being about organics vs synthetics would make no sense given EDI and making peace with the Geth.[/sp]
Is it possible to unlock the Collector Assault Rifle in singleplayer through INI editing?
I just noticed I'm having Reaper Dreadnaught themed auditory illusions.
And it's amazing.
The amount of people who are not using spoiler tags is terrible. Be respectful to the people who have yet to finish or play the game yet, damnit.
