Mass Effect Megathread: I should *go*. *I* should go. I *should* go. - Games

[QUOTE=KorJax;40019257]I'm on this mission right now actually Thinking about not curing it lol Reason? 1. Wrex and all the good characters involved with the krogran plot (just wrex right?) are dead so instead I'd have to deal with the asshole krogan being in charge 2. I'm a renegade shepard 3. It would be nice if we didn't have to deal with a war between humans and krogan in the future as they enevitably restart their overpopulation and conquest thanks to the fact that (again) they have no preditors/have all this tech they didn't have before, love fighting, and are under the rule of the asshole krogan instead of wrex (who is dead in my game). 4. I'm a renegade shepard My renegade shepard makes choices that are practical ones I'd say. Practically speaking, there's a very low chance of the krogan playing nice with the asshole in charge and the same thing starting again, and practically speaking I'd trust the salarian fleet versus a bunch of radiated war frogs. (of course if I ever get around to doing a full paragon play through I'd totally save them lol) [editline]24th March 2013[/editline] Apparently you can convince mordin to "cure it later" assuming wrex is not alive in ME2/3, eve dies (this happens if you destroy relevant geophage data in ME2 related to mordin's loyalty mission), and as such the asshole krogan is the only dude left who pretty much is the sole leader of the krogan. (this happens to be the default state the game is in if you play ME3 without playing the other two) [editline]24th March 2013[/editline] Also, no clue if I should go infil/shadow/whatever it is or vanguard for my paragon playthrough of the series... I hear infil is a lot of fun and it'll likely be a nice change of pace from my current class I've been rolling this whole time (adept). But I had a lot of fun playing vanguard in multiplayer of me3. I just wonder if a biotic-heavy class would be a good idea again or not.[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure the asshole krogan has definite plans to go to war afterwards, you hear him making a speech to his troops on Earth

[QUOTE=dogmachines;40020554]Forgive my lateness, but how do characters like Garrus and Vega get such high survival rates? Especially over characters like Liara who can die only one time in the entire series(and with the EC I think she can't die at all now), whereas Garrus and Ashley have two games they can die in. Kaidan with 17% survival is somewhat predictable though.[/QUOTE] I'm just surprised she died in nearly half of all fucking me3 games when I thought she was virtually unkillable with that one single death scenario. I guess I should've known better that most people just rush the game with no galactic readiness points and screw themselves at the end. Doesn't really explain why garrus and vega didn't die just as much during that moment, considering they were the most used squadmates after her.

[QUOTE=Dumb Dog;40014067]The best part about this is that jacob has the highest survival rate in the trilogy. He survived the me2 suicide mission 94% of the time. He's alive in me3 by default, and I'm fairly certain he can't even die once in me3. Mass Effect 4 starring canon hero Jacob Taylor.[/QUOTE] Jacob was the ONLY casualty in my game... (besides unavoidable ones) Sent him through the pipe on the collector base :v:

I had tali die on my final mission Whoops lol (I totally went "fuck no" to her wanting to be exiled) On that note is it possible to sex up the gay shuttle pilot in ME3? I'm thinking about actually doing only paragon choices for him if I can actually get away with it lol

[QUOTE=Shovelpass;40016564]I can't believe so many people pick the soldier class. Not having tech/biotics cuts out nearly all of the fun in the combat. It just becomes a Gears of War pop-and-shoot borefest as a soldier.[/QUOTE] I'm more surprised Adept isn't very popular, singularity and that other ability is fucking awesome. (Haven't played in a while so I don't remember the name of it, Warp maybe?)

(Haven't played in a while so I don't remember the name of it, Warp maybe?)[/QUOTE] Adept pretty much kept the same power set throughout the series, afaik the only new power they received was Shockwave in ME2. If we're talking ME1 biotics, you're probably thinking of Throw because that power is insane.

[QUOTE=DeeCeeTeeBee;40023071]STEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVE[/QUOTE] You sure?

[QUOTE=Estolle93;40023718]Yes. Yes you can.[/QUOTE] I was so afraid before ME3 came out because I worried Garrus would be a homosex option. Because Garrus is a bro and it would totally ruin the character for me if I was there just trying to be a bro and all of a sudden he's coming on to me.

Well everyone. Its done. I destroyed them all. I'm not sure what to feel.

[QUOTE=WeekendWarrior;40015063]My (small) collection of wallpapers disagree. [img]http://i.imgur.com/JbMfDgr.png[/img][/QUOTE] Care to throw them in a zip and upload them all? I have a small collection of wallpapers (~1000) they'd fit well with...

finished 3, picked destroy because it's the only option that kills spacekid. seriously why did they think mentioning that stupid kid every other mission was a good idea.

First run of ME2 after ME1 import. Did all the missions and assignments I ran into, but lost two people at the suicide mission still. :(

[QUOTE=Sjokoladeplate;40025275]First run of ME2 after ME1 import. Did all the missions and assignments I ran into, but lost two people at the suicide mission still. :([/QUOTE] You have to actually talk to people and do their loyalty assignments, and certain people need to do certain parts of the suicide mission otherwise the person will die. Example, send legion or tali into the ducts, not jacob.

I always send mordin to guide the crew back

Example, send legion or tali into the ducts, not jacob.[/QUOTE] I did all the assignments and sent Legion into the ducts. Made Thane and Jacob bio-barrier carriers. I guess the fault was just with my choices as to who should follow me. Also the crew didn't make it, all my regret.

Samara and Jack I think are the ones who are supposed to do the barrier. Always send Mordin back with the crew. Always go get the crew right after they are kidnapped if you want them to live.

[QUOTE=JustGman;40025309]you need to do all the loyalty missions and buy those three ship upgrades. also as far as i know if you don't take mordin with you on the very very last mission he dies, dunno about anyone else though.[/QUOTE] That depends. Each character has a combat rating, the overall combat rating of the group holding the door determines how many live. If it isn't high enough, characters are killed off based on their rating, lowest being most likely to die. Mordin has the lowest rating I believe, which is why he's the one who tends to die. It's only really a problem if you pick the guys with high ratings to fight the human reaper with AND don't have DLC characters. For example, Grunt has the highest rating I believe, so taking him and someone else like Garrus really damages the rating of the group and puts weak characters at risk. However, with DLC you have Zaeed and Kasumi added into the mix so that rating is going to be higher. Sending him back with the crew as an escort is the best way to secure his livelihood. The next best way is to avoid taking the obvious "tough guys" with you to fight the human reaper. Don't take guys like Grunt, Zaeed, or Garrus with you, even if everyone is alive you risk losing someone due to wrecking the combat rating of the group.

[QUOTE=Sjokoladeplate;40025275]First run of ME2 after ME1 import.

I recall my horror as I saw Garrus being carried away screaming on a cloud of Seeker Sawarms. But now you know for next time! [sp]Or you could just restart the mission[/sp]

I made Legion go through the ducts, let Jack do the Barrier, sent Mording back with the crew and took Tali and someone I can't remember with me to the reaper.
