[QUOTE=superdinoman;35156394]Well damn. I would offer to look into the issue but I've never had it after all the edits Ive done.[/QUOTE] Fixed it! Apparently the save had me stuck in the world geometry
[QUOTE=zzzz;35156439]no what i'm saying is they would've found out sooner than that. hell, they probably would have known about it back when the protheans were devising that. you can't put so much resources into devising something like that and then later building it and not expect a being of supreme intelligence to find out about it. if the protheans were really as smart as they claim to be, they would have found out about the crucible during the last cycle and destroyed any evidence of it. they also wouldn't have let any protheans survive in stasis, but somehow that managed to happen too.[/QUOTE] I'm still unsure if you've actually finished the game, [sp]you're told that the crucible isn't prothean, it was passed down from each previous cycles organics and each improved on it, so chances are the reapers knew about it they just can't destroy every possible piece of data on it.[/sp]
[QUOTE=Irespawnoften;35156465]I'd say this is because no organic race has ever A) completed it or B) completed it and used it successfully. If its never worked before, why would the reapers care? [I]Hey harbinger, the organics are gunna try that crucible thing again. heh, silly organics...[/I][/QUOTE] because the reapers, with their supreme intellectual capabilities, would be able to realize that the crucible is a legitimate idea that has a chance of working, and that just to be sure it needs to be eliminated. a being with such intelligence wouldn't just say "heh, silly organics" they would do something about it right from the start i assume a being of such intelligence would have the foresight to notice something that, i don't know, has the power to destroy their entire fucking race
superdinoman, I'm an idiot. Mind telling me how to get your Coalesced thing to work? I have no idea how to use the coalesced stuff.
[QUOTE=Jackald;35155884]Plot holes: [sp]-Where do your squadmates go when the reaper beam hits - How does Anderson go behind you into the beam and beat you to the control panel - Why is Joker mass jumping away from Earth? - Why doesn't Shepard question any of what the child says - How does Shepard collapse, almost dead, then wake up fine after the elevator - How do your squadmates get from Earth, post reaper beam, to on the normandy - How does Joker crash land the normandy vertically with no engines? - How does the crucible distinguish between reapers and normal life? - How does Shepard survive if she/ he is partly synthetic? - Why does Shepard wake up in concrete rubble if he / she was on the citadel? - If Shepard was on the citadel, how did he / she survive it blowing up and the subsequent free fall to earth? - How is Shepard able to breath / not decompress on top of the citadel? - Where does TIM come from all of a sudden? - Why can't Shepard use medigel?[/sp] And that's just for starters.[/QUOTE] [sp]They fight, I wish they'd show everyone but they didn't. They probably got lazy and didn't show everyone. They were ported to different places. He did say the walls were moving. He saw the explosion and flew away. Shepard becomes a one dimensional character.. but really, I mean.. anything Bioware writes for this will sound stupid no matter what. Like trying to answer what created the universe. There's no logical way to justify their answer. Adrenaline and maybe the presence of the 'reaper' child helped him. I agree with this one, though it's possible they were left behind when the red laser hit and they retreated. He's a good pilot with EDI's help. Steering probably. Space magic, duh. I mean it's super advanced technology. It's like asking how an omniblade works.. a hologram cutting someone?.. The 'Reaper' child says that Shepard is already synthetic and organic. He says everyone will become like you if you.. Citadel exploded, fell to earth. Wakes up on earth. Just like when he died in the beginning of ME2. No suit? No problem, he's commander Shepard and the games over anyway. He got lucky space magic. I'm sure there was some see through forcefield covering the Citadel. Remember how Legion had to make a virtual reality he could comprehend? I think the 'creators' did that for him as well. Probably chose the form of a child to show that they really meant no real harm. Well shit, why not use medigel on Wrex if you accidentally killed him. It's for cinematic purposes, the slow painful ready to die but keep walking walk. Plus his suit was broken. I think his omnitool sleeve or whatever was broken off as well.[/sp] Most of these questions are very small and pointless.. you can't expect them to come up with logical explanations for every single little thing.
help me? [sp] so im on tali Home world i just beated the massive ass reaper and that geth robot is telling me to recover the data from the reaper while tali is telling me to not do it or they would die ..what to do!! [/sp]
[QUOTE=werewolf0020;35156522]help me?

[/sp][/QUOTE] That's your own choice. Asking us to help with this is like playing the game for you. If you want to know the consequences to each. Look it up.
[QUOTE=Sharp_Shooter;35156516]superdinoman, I'm an idiot. Mind telling me how to get your Coalesced thing to work? I have no idea how to use the coalesced stuff.[/QUOTE] Put it in Mass Effect 3\BIOGame\CookedPCConsole Backup your original. You don't have to do anything beyond that. [QUOTE=Delta616;35156474]Fixed it! Apparently the save had me stuck in the world geometry[/QUOTE] What about the level reset any ideas?
[QUOTE=superdinoman;35156579] What about the level reset any ideas?[/QUOTE] Those were the saved I used with your Coalesced, The save that I couldn't move was my backup. So i'm back to where I was without your Coalesced.
What am I supposed to do with your GAWAsset lines

[QUOTE=Delta616;35156613]Those were the saved I used with your Coalesced, The save that I couldn't move was my backup. So i'm back to where I was without your Coalesced.[/QUOTE] By ideas I meant any ideas on why it happened. Either way good to know you got the stuck thing fixed, have you tried the coalesced again in a copy of your backup to see if it resets? [QUOTE=SFC3;35156616]What am I supposed to do with your GAWAsset lines[/QUOTE] Replace them with the Coalesced editor, or decompile the coalesced.bin with the tool included with the save editor, copy and paste the changes, then recompile.
[QUOTE=zzzz;35156078]also i'm not even going to finish this game because i can't let both the [sp]quarians and the geth[/sp] survive, i love [sp]legion[/sp] equally as much as [sp]tali[/sp]. i suppose i would let the [sp]geth[/sp] survive over the [sp]quarians[/sp] because the [sp]quarians[/sp] are self righteous pricks but come on... I mean I made, morally, the correct choice in me2 and still i don't get to see a good ending to this damn conflict[/QUOTE] You fucked up then because [sp] it's entirely possible to let both the geth and quarians live, although Legion will "die" in the process.[/sp]
[QUOTE=superdinoman;35156644]By ideas I meant any ideas on why it happened. Either way good to know you got the stuck thing fixed, have you tried the coalesced again in a copy of your backup to see if it resets? [/QUOTE] I have no clue what caused any of that, it make logical sense, the difference between your Coalesced and mine, is the key bindings. However I will be more than happy to in tracking down the problem on a different set of saves. Hopefully it's just isolated and I am the only person who experienced any issue.

This is evident by the prothian ruins, Javik, Vigil, and sovereign along with other reapers losing to Shepard. As for the crucible, [sp]the plans were gone from mars, thanks to the illusive man[/sp], and who who says it couldn't have been on the move through out its construction? [quote]"heh, silly organics"[/quote] that was a joke by the way.

Liara has already proved that she woudln't.[/sp] Having the players theorize on big plot holes is just incredibly lazy and bad writing which in turns leaves a bad ending.

ALL OF IT!
What gets me is that the reapers are so terrible at offense. Those lasers should be completely game breakingingly overpowered since they can take down pretty much anything with 1 shot but no they have to miss [B]everything[/B] with them.
[QUOTE=doommarine23;35156301]I'm curious as to how they are going to unfuck themselves and unfuck ME3 :v:[/QUOTE] The next game takes place a few hundred years from now. Shepard is a hero and mentioned in the codex, the only living squadmate is Liara, which colonized the planet they stranded on by herself. You play as Kyle Reese of Liara's 100000th kid. You are sent back to time to stop the reapers. But then you realize it's all a dream, you wake up and you realize you're a hanar.

Woo, I'm playing ME1 again with all the DLCs. I plan on getting the few important bits of DLC for 2 and playing through that too. Hopefully by then, 3 will have a real ending.

Okay, then I have a plothole for you then.. Why couldn't I just use medigel on [sp]Thane? I mean, he was simply stabbed. I've seen my teammates get blown up and I could still revive them.[/sp] These are trivial questions. If you're wondering about [sp]the top of the Citadel then you must also wonder about how an Omnitool can turn into a blade and stab someone, or how Vanguards charge, or how Sentinels have holographic armors that add protection.[/sp]

[quote]Although melee-combat applications for the omni-tool are almost as old as the device itself, the feature was largely unused prior to the Reaper invasion. The need to take on multiple husks in close quarters forced the Alliance to develop ways to enhance the tool's offensive capability. The most common melee design is the "omni-blade," a disposable silicon-carbide weapon flash-forged by the tool's mini-fabricator. The transparent, nearly diamond-hard blade is created and suspended in a mass effect field safely away from the user's skin. Warning lights illuminate the field so the searing-hot blade only burns what it is intended to: the opponent. More technically adept soldiers frequently modify their omni-tools to maximize stopping power through electrical, kinetic, or thermal energy. Some troops integrate their weapon with their kinetic barriers, transformering the omni-tool into a wrist-mounted bludgeon; others fabricate flammable gases, held in place by a mass effect field and ignited upon impact. All prove deadly surprises for opponents who expect a disarmed Alliance warrior. [/quote]
[QUOTE=Whatsinaname;35156834][sp]Thane was already dying of kepral syndrome. That, along with being stabbed, is what caused him to die. Medigel can't solve everything.[/sp][/QUOTE] Pretty sure it was mentioned that it also affects his ability for his blood to carry oxygen.
Fucking everything is explained in someway in the game, if not it is in the codex. EXCEPT the ending.
