[QUOTE=Grim Joker;35339272]I don't see why they didn't de-activate the Mass Relay system like they intended all along, as stated in Mass Effect 1. Near the end of 3 they control the Citadel and can apparently do it from there. That would have prevented forces from attacking Earth, too.[/QUOTE] FFFFFFFFFF more plotholes to add to the list.
god ME1 is so much better when you replay it. It's not just nostalgia making it seem good; it actually is as good as i remember, which is fucking unbelievable. Totally off topic, but what is the maximum amount of crew-mates you could fuck in one series playthrough?
Yeah, I recently did a full completion run of ME1 and enjoyed every bit of it.

You can bang Jack in the second game without it counting as a relationship, if you just tell her you want to bang with no emotional attachment. Besides that you can bang one person in 1, another person in 2, and then yet another person in 3.
Wow the Falcon Assault rifle is a real piece of shit in MP. Like it takes 3 shots to take down a regular geth trooper on bronze. What an utterly useless weapon.
I revisited ME1 after beating ME3 twice and realised how much of it I'd missed on the first run. I'm doing as many side missions as I possibly can, it becomes totally involving once you take away the urgent focus on the main story. I just wish the side missions consisted of more than just copy pasted warehouses and underground facilities.
[QUOTE=Framperton;35339715]Wow the Falcon Assault rifle is a real piece of shit in MP. Like it takes 3 shots to take down a regular geth trooper on bronze. What an utterly useless weapon.[/QUOTE] It's useful for groups of attackers since it staggers most of the enemies for a short while. Especially when you have a Turian Soldier with Marksman, increasing firerate. Few enemies get through that.
[QUOTE=Framperton;35339715]Wow the Falcon Assault rifle is a real piece of shit in MP. Like it takes 3 shots to take down a regular geth trooper on bronze. What an utterly useless weapon.[/QUOTE] Why are you using it on singular enemies? It's got splash damage and is pretty good against armor. It isn't even that hard to hit targets from afar once you adjust to the lob trajectory.

[QUOTE=Goldenboy;35339742]5 - Add the Consort to that list.[/QUOTE] Also, couldn't you screw kelly?
[QUOTE=noneshallpass;35339800]Also, couldn't you screw kelly?[/QUOTE] I don't think it was ever specifically stated that you do have sex with her. Actually nevermind forgot about the ME3 "sex in a cargo container" scene.
You can bang 3 (maybe 4 depending on how you see things) in ME2 alone. Through renegade options, you can have sex with Jack. She won't talk to you anymore afterward, and won't count as a romance. Then you talk to Tali, Miranda, and Kelly. Eventually have dinner with Kelly, whether you interpret the "fade to black" as sex or not is up to you. Either way, you can talk to both Tali and Miranda all the way up until they ask you to pick one or the other. Tell one you choose them, go through the suicide mission, romance. After the mission, talk to the other and tell them you choose them, the romance scene will play. So that's 3 confirmed sexings and 1 maybe in ME2 alone. I dunno if you can sex Liara up in the Shadow Broker DLC if you romanced her in ME1, I didn't get to carry over any saves from it.

My work's season is coming to an end so I'll suddenly have a lot of time up my hands, as well as getting a new rig so I'll be organizing a stream for sometime between 9th-15th April. For now I would like to present a quick survey asking what kind of music you guys would think goes with Mass Effect (themes, genre, specific songs etc) as well as asking if people prefer commentary or not and the frequency of it.

I'm sure the mass effect 3 ending with [sp]Joker and the crew was on the planet was actually Zorya. Not where Jacob's father was.[/sp]
[QUOTE=Framperton;35339715]Wow the Falcon Assault rifle is a real piece of shit in MP. Like it takes 3 shots to take down a regular geth trooper on bronze. What an utterly useless weapon.[/QUOTE] Used to be one of the best until they nerfed it. If they had a store instead of rng, they could just make it expensive but worth it. Hell they could just let you buy the I and have to earn II-X to avoid "pay to win"... but such things weren't thought of. It was one of the few ARs that actually was worth it.
[QUOTE=supertribute;35340231]I'm sure the mass effect 3 ending with [sp]Joker and the crew was on the planet was actually Zorya. Not where Jacob's father was.[/sp][/QUOTE] It looked a lot like Virmire to me. I'm pretty sure it was just some ill-conceived tropical planet where they could 'start anew'.
Properly.
[QUOTE=JeanLuc761;35338447]If I were to guess, they decided to use the concept from that planet's description and made the ending around it. I don't think it was planned that way from the start.[/QUOTE] Karpyshyn and Hudson both had their ideas from the beginning. You can guess which one was used. [editline]29th March 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Goldenboy;35338457]Actually, I'm curious...if Drew's ending had made the cut... [b]What ending would you guys have chosen?[/b][/QUOTE] Freedom and fighting. The reapers had become stagnant and unable to fathom that "lesser" beings could figure out how to limit Dark Expansion. The Geth and Salarians and even Krogan show otherwise. That was supposed to be the lesson of the Protheans. The Protheans forced everyone to think a certain way, to only believe their credo. The current cycle races kept their identity but learned to cooperate with each other. I would bet on that over super-harbinger-human any day.
[QUOTE=Canuhearme?;35338689]Here's his thought process: To the Star Child, liquefying people and putting their essence into Reapers isn't truly destroying a race, but rather preserving it. What he's trying to prevent is [I]someone else[/I] making a Reaper equivalent that proceeds to indiscriminately pillage and burn the galaxy, only difference being the Synthetics will probably see [I]everyone[/I] as a threat, either in the present or future. To the Star Child, 100 years of turmoil and methodical harvesting followed by 50k years of uninterrupted organic prosperity and growth is far better then 50-100k years of organic growth followed by a damn near infinite amount of time where nothing with sapience sans circuitry is around.[/QUOTE] Yeah except they use those "preserved" races for fighting other races and losses are inevitable. So during every single cycle a couple races that have been previously "saved" go extinct. Besides, I don't see how liquefying a race into one hivemind (usually not a natural state) and making it follow the supreme directive it might not agree on is saving anything. At least in Drew's ending plan it makes sense.
Just found out the voice actress for Ashley is black. Mind blown. Aslo been reading some Mass effect Revelation, Saren is a huge dick.

I had this looping the entire [sp]Prority:London[/sp] mission. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBwS66EBUcY[/media] It was amazing.
Yeah, Bioware kind of got super lazy with Mass Effect 3. [editline]29th March 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Starship;35340444]Just found out the voice actress for Ashley is black. Mind blown.

Just finished ME1 :v: ME2 download is at 98% Thought ME1 was really fucking awesome, but dear god I [I]hated[/I] that you literally had to power walk everwhere even when your shift key was split in half.
I always thought it was a jog.

Guys I really need your help. I tried to start a new game in ME3, but when I chose import ME2 character there is nothing, absolutely nothing. So I checked my storage and all and there was the ME2 importer save, so why can't I import?

It needs to be in my documents\bioware\mass effect 2\save or (Users\name\Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect 2\Save)

Oh well it's better than playing without an imported character
