-snip for now- First time streaming, any suggestions to get ingame sound and mic?
Besides a better ending, I think Mass Effect 3 deserves more RPG elements. No, I'm not talking about leveling up or anything like that. I mean dialogue options and side missions. Side missions that are not just fetch quests. Or shootouts on multiplayer maps. I liked looking for side missions in ME1 and 2. It made exploration feel much more rewarding. But now, you just find war assets, which is lame. And all the other side missions are basically thrown in your face with no effort required to look for them, which defeats the purpose of them being SIDE missions. Also the linearity bothered me a lot. In ME1 and 2, you could do the missions in any order you wanted, unless it was time for a main story mission. But here, you have to do things very linearly. I was kind of hoping I'd be able to unite the different races in any order I wanted, and that the last race I helped would be the most devastated by the reapers, due to assistance arriving relatively late. Also it feels really weird not being able to control most of Shepard's dialogue. Not much point in being able to mix paragon and renegade when you don't get nearly as many opportunities to be either. So basically, if the game had more actual side missions, dialogue options, and a satisfying ending, then I would certainly call it the best one. ...That's not too much to ask for, right? :v:
Well, after 7 months of playing, my brother has finally made it to Ilos. I'm so proud.

Just finished playing MP on silver with reaper enemies, werent you supposed to get a n7 spectre pack or something as part of weekend shit?
Can you chat in multiplayer on the PC version? It kinda sucks that you have no communication options whatsoever if you don't use a mic on xbawks.
Stream is failing hard, retry in 20mins. Rain check, re-attempt when I have a new PC.
Gah I can't find anyone to play MP with :(

[Sp]If I hear one more idiot spout that because the mass relays all blew up all life near mass relays must also have been killed, I will freaking lose it. That is not a logical conclusion. The mass relay in arrival blew up because a fucking asteroid hit it. The ones in ME3 blew up because of fucking space fairy magic. In no universe does space fairy magic equal a giant asteroid.[/sp]

In no universe does space fairy magic equal a giant asteroid.[/sp][/QUOTE] [sp]The destruction of mass relays will kill a lot of people, because colonies are, in most cases, not self-sustaining, and in need of other civs to help them (trade for goods, such as food, raw materials, etc). Also, the huge fleet you brought to Earth with yourself will ultimately die because of starvation, Earth cannot supply that much food. Tuchanka's population will die out because they got the food from outside sources.[/sp]
I have noticed that damage against one layer of protection doesnt carry over to the next. for example, Ill hit a nemesis who has full health and only 1 shield bar left in the head, but my shot will only strip the shield as opposed to stripping the shield and then taking out the remaining health. is this intentional?
[QUOTE=bigbadrick;35188747]Anyone else think its cool that the stargazer is Buzz Aldrin?[/QUOTE] He's not a great voice actor. Cool reference I guess but I'd rather have someone who can act.

Honestly, I think either theory is flawed. Though at this point, I don't think anyone really cares, considering most people just want the ending to be retconned anyway.[/sp]

Bleh. I was just working on my newest ME1 character, preparing to carry her over to ME2, then ME3. I just finished Feros. And suddenly I stopped caring. I think I'm just being really impatient.
Arvuti, thanks again for the Stream <3
So uh, doing a biotic charge and dying during it in multiplayer is a bad idea. When I ressurected my character was bugged to hell, I would move at 10% of my normal speed, lagg back and forth and when I tried to hide behind cover I was suspended 2m above in the air for everyone to shoot at me. Also sometimes I fell down under the map.
