Well ive played couple matches yesterday. And i have 2 questions:
1) What packs should i buy to get new character\new weapons? (i mean, what packs have better chances).
2) Can i switch powers? For example, i have Drone on button "1", overload on "3", i want to switch them. I cant drag powers like in SP. Not sure about demo, i think i could switch them there, but not here..
[QUOTE=goon165;35173377]an Interesting Idea I've hit upon.
What If instead of this stupid Star Child/Task Manager nonsense You know what would have been a [B][I]FAR[/I][/B] better choice for that position?, [B]Vigil[/B], you know the VI in the Prothean base in the first game? they could have said that they recovered him from Ios and put him in to manage Crucible since a lot of the tech is still unknown to them [B]and then maybe we could actually get an explanation on how the fucker actually works from the horse's mouth[/B] and since he would be plugged directly into the Citadel he could access basic information about the Reapers (since the Citadel is a Reaper construct) through Keepers, Like exactly how many times the Reaping process has repeated itself, contrary to what the asshat writer said [B]THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN INTERESTING TO KNOW[/B] in addition to who built the Reapers? why were they built to wipe out organics? what was the circumstances of this decision? what is the Citadel? why was it constructed? what are the Keepers? were they the civilization that built the mass relays? why were the mass relays left when all other advanced technology was destroyed? why does Crucible cause them to detonate? more backstory on the Protheans and Crucible. all of this would have been good for the [B]ENDING OF A STORY[/B]
if You had Javik, they could have even repaired him so he is actually looks like he's supposed to since we now know what Protheans look like. if not he could remain a ball of light and visual artifacts or maybe look like a collector in robes or something since without Javik that's the closest example we would have had, this would only be a cosmetic change though.
[sp]Another thought, We needed an ending that the player decided, through the choices we made through the game along with a choice on how to handle Crucible. Instead of the Task manager yammering on and Shepard going along with it and then having a Deus Ex Push Button-Get Ending scenario. My Shepard would have Protested the idea of Slaughtering the Geth right after bringing an end to the war with them and blowing up the Mass Relays which would have Doomed everyone. My Shepard would have considered other options, and maybe suggested one that the Protheans didn't consider, After all Shepard is special, one that makes everyone happy, a truly good outcome, the ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWAH ending if you will, where against all odds everyone survives, the Reapers are destroyed, the Mass Relays don't explode, and every lives out their days enjoying peace that I worked to attain, that'd be something to retire on.[/sp][/QUOTE]
Except Vigil doesn't know about it.

That's indeterminate, and even if he had no knowledge of it (which is highly unlikely considering he was watching over the bastion of the Prothean's best and brightest) then information could be stored inside the Archives that contained the Crucible plans that he could fully translate and Shepard could understand.
Something I just noticed, in ME2 only Krogans were able to use the M-300 Claymore (provided you don't specialize in it) but in ME3 it's suddenly usable by everyone.

[sp]There is a 300 year gap between the Reapers invading and the Reapers finishing up the extermination of the Protheans. If the best and brightest knew about this even then they likely would have been much more prepared to fight the Reapers.[/sp]
Or you could do this.
[b]Shepard[/b]: why didn't you tell us about this earlier?
[b]Vigil[/b]: Time was Short, you had a job to do, I was running out of power, and...
[B]Shepard[/b]: And?
[b]Vigil[/B]: You never asked.

[sp]Or you know, he could have just said, oh hey, after this theres a super weapon on Mars, go and get it. Pretty sure he probably had enough time to say at least, mars, superweapon. Its highly likely he did not know about it. The Crucible isn't exactly something you would put on a VI, if that VI was found it would be taken apart and there goes your plans.[/sp]

It was considered a failure since they ran out of time and resources to solve the "Catalyst" problem before the reapers demolished the majority their empire, it was probably one of many plans that didn't work or didn't have enough time to come to full fruition.
The best minds put into Stasis on Ios would have known about it, and again, You could have had him just reading off information stored in the archives.

Accept if they discovered it before the Reapers invaded they would have had a massive fucking warning that they were about to get raped by a shitton of giant ships.
Wish ME3 ended with this in some way.

they already HAD warnings, all of which They engorged.

[QUOTE=Feuver;35168273]I remember quite well my playthroughs
ME 1 : 70 hours 100% (Without DLC)

Well, that's the only big problem with the Destroy ending. [sp]You kill the geth for no fucking reason. And let's not forget the Mass Relays.[/sp][/QUOTE]
It took me over 40 hours to beat ME3, trying to do as much as possible though there were small quests I didn't do, all the while on Insanity. How are others beating it so much faster? Don't you want to savor the game at all? I like taking my time.
[editline]17th March 2012[/editline]
[QUOTE=Jackald;35168330]I agree entirely, I still think that [sp]destroy[/sp] is the best ending. It's the one I chose.[/QUOTE]
Are you kidding? Middle option is easily the best of the 3 endings because that's the only one that doesn't actually kill anybody (except you). Your options are 'Possibly kill everyone (but possibly not), kill some people, or kill nobody'
[QUOTE=zzzz;35173243]as much as i hate the ending of this game, this scene has to be probably the most moving of any game i've ever played

the top comment, for once, puts it quite nicely:
"And that is where ME3 ends for me. It was all fine until Hackett spoke so I'm just gonna pretend he didn't and none of that other stuff happened.*"[/QUOTE]
Thanks for the spoiler.
I think a better explanation for the Reapers would be [sp]they destroy/preserve civilizations before they can destroy themselves through constant war and shit. It sounds a lot better than "so they don't make synthetics that they will go to war with". And it fits within the context of the ME story, because throughout the series, you see a lot of tension between different races and learn about a lot of past conflicts between them. This would make uniting the races of the galaxy in ME3 even more meaningful, because you spend the whole game proving the Catalyst wrong.[/sp]

If you read the description, I remember it saying it was modified so it can be used by humans and turian.

Except the beacons were setup afterwards in order to warn the next cycle. Ilos was completely cut off communications wise from all other Protheans when the Reapers invaded. So anything after that date they do not know of. For all they know the Protheans and Reapers became fuck buddies and the babies ended up being the freaking Hanar.

[sp]Because it doesn't prove anything? They stopped fighting for a couple weeks. For all we know the Geth in a hundred years could go batshit insane and decide to fuck things up. I'm pretty confident that in their millions of years they've seen this same exact shit happen.[/sp]

So what you are saying is, everything you did was totally pointless bullshit governed by predestination, it was going to happen anyway because the machine built by someone an CALCULABLE number of years ago said so.
and you are ok with this.

No i'm taking a scientific approach to it. I imagine the Reapers need more explanation but I doubt you're going to be able to convince them that its different. They've had millions of years to figure this out, do you think its likely that they haven't seen the same thing happen before then backfire? Imagine if you lived for millions of years and found nothing but the same shit repeated constantly over and over? Would you be inclined to believe that a tiny difference from the norm to be proof?

All of this has happened before, and of all this will happen again....
Why else do you think they made Col Tigh the C-Sec Commander on the Citadel?

So nothing can change, ever.
Shepard cannot be the one that proves that this cycle of killing can end by itself, this cannot happen. ever. and the Reapers cannot turn themselves off after seeing that they are no longer needed because programing built into them forever ago says nothing can change.

Because a million year old being is going to go, "Oh shit we were wrong, so fucking sorry man we'll back off."
Do you really think that a human probably not over the age of fifty is going to convince a being more than fifty thousand times his age that hes wrong?

Would you listen to a being who's only proof is one example when you've had thousands of examples to the contrary?
So who replaces Thane in that room you had in Mass Effect 2?
I think I've posted this before.
What I would've liked was one part of the single player where you had to choose and the choices actually made an impact on the different endings.
Take Tuchanka for example. [sp]You either cure the Genophage or you rescue the heavily populated area where the turian bomb was. In that case if you choose to cure the Genophage then it'd be too late to save all those krogan and the krogan army would've been severely crippled and vice versa[/sp]
These moments would give you a hard time to choose.
