[QUOTE=mac338;35091774]It doesn't "feel" right.[/QUOTE] None of the endings really felt right for me, the ending choice was really the weakest part of the game.
[QUOTE=Devodiere;35091668]Yahg have no science, no refinement, no ideas, they'll be outdone in some way eventually. Turians are up in the top order though, right near Brogans and Geth.[/QUOTE] Yet they could have had a real shot at defeating the Reapers if Shepard had failed. They were on the cusp of developing space flight according to the game, yet the Reapers passed over their homeworld without destroying everything. They have incredible promise. Stronger than Krogan, they'll definitely follow their leadership like the Turians, and from seeing the Shadow Broker we can be pretty sure they're quite intelligent as well. Only things they lack or we just don't know of yet are the Krogan survivability, Krogan / Asari longevity, and the speed of Krogan reproduction. The races of the galaxy in the current cycle got what, 5000 years of reign before the Reapers? The Yahg could potentially get 50,000. I'm sure that would be enough for mounting some serious resistance, ESPECIALLY if they find [sp]one of Liara's time capsules[/sp]. So even if Shepard fails, the Yahg will claim the galaxy and prosper.
Ok, popping back in the game properly rested this time. In my first hour though I really like what they did with Cerberus. In ME2 they seemed suave and you kind of got to like them a bit, then with the [sp]husked cerberus operative[/sp] it snapped you out of it and made you realise "oh fuck I've been working with a mad man".
Look guys, an early build of gibbed's ME3 save editor. [url]http://svn.gib.me/builds/masseffect3/?C=M;O=D[/url] Like I said it's an early build so it doesn't really have that many features yet but you can edit your credits so I guess that's pretty good.
Also, the best scene in the game.. With Tali and Garrus in main roles.. [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0Pu7pzK28A[/url]
Does anyone know Shepard default code face (male)?
I had a chance to sleep on it, and I really hope that theory about the [sp]ending being Shepard's final struggle with indoctrination is true. I mean it makes sense I suppose.[/sp]
[QUOTE=cagoBHuK;35091972]Does anyone know Shepard default code face (male)?[/QUOTE] If you mean sheploo, he doesn't have a facecode.
[QUOTE=GetBent;35091979]I had a chance to sleep on it, and I really hope that theory about the [sp]ending being Shepard's final struggle with indoctrination is true. I mean it makes sense I suppose.[/sp][/QUOTE] [sp]But I thought Bioware confirmed this is the last Mass Effect game with Shepard? If that is the case, either we get DLC for the true ending or we never find out directly. [/sp]
[QUOTE=QueenMelanie;35091669][sp] If you made peace between the Quarian and the Geth.. The Geth will die too, invalidating Legion's sacrifice, it will also kill EDI, and any other synthetic in the Galaxy.[/sp][/QUOTE] Sacrifice. One way or the other. [sp]Synergy is so vague and unclear it doesn't feel right. It's like voluntarily making a reaper... without making a reaper.[/sp]
Greatest track in Mass Effect history: [video=youtube;QpJz25ac9TA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpJz25ac9TA[/video] Especially the part half way though. Anyone else agree on that?

Haha [sp]Kaidan died on Virmire, and I just shot Ashley and Udina. Being Renegade is pretty cool. I never really like them, and the most likable of the three was Kaidan.[/sp]

[QUOTE=mac338;35092137]Greatest track in Mass Effect history... [/QUOTE] I'm telling you, Loco, if they played [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIy6SHuktAo]this song[/url] during the ending, it would make the most emotional ending of all time! Anyway I still like [I]Vigil[/I] the best. ME3's [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8TnOELAs8s]Earth escape song[/url] is also great.
[QUOTE=SomeDumbShit;35092167][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-61i1GtjDGw[/media] Probably my favorite. Edit: Put the right one in, heh.[/QUOTE] Bit at the end ruins it sadly. Reposting for awesomeness [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QpU4Vg-4V0[/media]
[QUOTE=Kindlinho;35092218] ME3's [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8TnOELAs8s]Earth escape song[/url] is also great.[/QUOTE] Pling... pling... pling (plingplingpling) BLUUUUUUUUURT.
[QUOTE=mac338;35091258]One of the strongest scenes in the game, or any game: [url]http://youtu.be/ih5bhxsI534?hd=1[/url] (Massive spoilers)[/QUOTE] Fuckin laughed my ass off at the paragon option that does nothing hahahahaha
[QUOTE=Kindlinho;35091783]I think it's because this choice also means [sp]destroying the Geth (who are basically half-organics)[/sp] [/QUOTE] Then again, [sp]Control ending is also paragon-blue. That's just the thing TIM was going to do. And he failed. [/sp]
I've heard it's possible to [sp]save both the geth and the quarians after destroying the reaper, but the requirements are really sketchy. Everyone online says something different.[/sp]

If I just take an ME2 save and tag the different shit in an ME2 save editor, will those choices actually affect ME3?
[QUOTE=gudman;35092334]Then again, [sp]Control ending is also paragon-blue. That's just the thing TIM was going to do. And he failed. [/sp][/QUOTE] [sp]Shepard himself says, that TIM "was right after all". Maybe TIM wasn't that evil, maybe he really cared about the destiny of humanity. Well, at least before indoctrination. After getting indoctrinated, he practically ended up in a loop - hopelessly trying to resist the Reaper influence, but failing to overcome it. (part of him wanted to control the Reapers in order to stop them) But the Reapers just wouldn't let TIM control them.[/sp]
just got quarian/geth alliance. i have 4500 ems from single player alone, im pretty sure ill be able to get 500 more before the games over?
Anyone tried shooting that "godchild" yet? I want to know if that's possible.
[QUOTE=Dirf;35092384]I've heard it's possible to [sp]save both the geth and the quarians after destroying the reaper, but the requirements are really sketchy. Everyone online says something different.[/sp][/QUOTE] oh? i did it, i didnt think it required anything special. i just did absolute paragon decisions on everything and bam
[QUOTE=Rusty100;35092585]just got quarian/geth alliance. i have 4500 ems from single player alone, im pretty sure ill be able to get 500 more before the games over?[/QUOTE] There's a difference between effective and total ems, you're most likely talking about total, while you need 5000 effective ems, which is pretty much the total cut in half.
[QUOTE=Crimor;35092604]There's a difference between effective and total ems, you're most likely talking about total, while you need 5000 effective ems, which is pretty much the total cut in half.[/QUOTE] oh that is stupid bioware is gay
[QUOTE=EskillV2;35092587]Anyone tried shooting that "godchild" yet? I want to know if that's possible.[/QUOTE] First thing I did. Didn't work.
