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

Unless you got LOTSB, they didn't change drastically until ME3.

Got Mass Effect 3 as my free game because of the Simcity thing. I have never played a Mass Effect game before, anything I should know?

[QUOTE=Zyx;40009555]Got Mass Effect 3 as my free game because of the Simcity thing. I have never played a Mass Effect game before, anything I should know?[/QUOTE] Play the others first.

[QUOTE=Zyx;40009555]Got Mass Effect 3 as my free game because of the Simcity thing. I have never played a Mass Effect game before, anything I should know?[/QUOTE] Play the first two.

[QUOTE=Zyx;40009555]Got Mass Effect 3 as my free game because of the Simcity thing. I have never played a Mass Effect game before, anything I should know?[/QUOTE] Get the first two and play through the entire series.

I guess it's settled then. Got both for $15,46.

Even though I romanced Liara (to have my trilogy LI) I think her voice actor is the worst out of the ME cast.

The voice acting gets better across the games. That seems to be a trend with most of the voice cast though.

I want an N7 Shadow, but the game deems it necessary to give me human female sentinel over and over and over and over

[QUOTE=TheTalon;40010339]I want an N7 Shadow, but the game deems it necessary to give me human female sentinel over and over and over and over[/QUOTE] the Shadow is super hard to play and it's like a vanguard minus refilling your shields after a charge but, on the other hand, swords

Another 100k, another reserves chest. N7 Paladin and Krogan Battlemaster. Better than I usually get that's for sure

[QUOTE=yellowoboe;40008703]Lets be honest. By the 3rd game she's obviously smuggling watermelons.[/QUOTE] There's also the fact that her alternate costume moves them.

Just played ME1 again, Jesus, Tali's voice is so much higher/younger. Sorta threw me off when I talked to her for the first time.

[QUOTE=Flicky;40010884]Just played ME1 again, Jesus, Tali's voice is so much higher/younger. Sorta threw me off when I talked to her for the first time.[/QUOTE] Yeah you really see her mature over the course of the 3 games. As a testament to how much easier ME3 is, I went through quite a few missions completely shitfaced drunk last night and never lost more than a bar of health on insanity. Last time I tried playing ME2 drunk in insanity I constantly got my dick kicked in.

[QUOTE=TheTalon;40010339]I want an N7 Shadow, but the game deems it necessary to give me human female sentinel over and over and over and over[/QUOTE] I liked to say the N7 Shadow is awesome for so many reasons the biggest one being a sword.

Shadow is massively overpowered if you find a corner and just spam electric slash through walls all day. Especially if you spec out cloaking to allow the user of a power and remain cloaked, you can cloak and get 2 slashes in before enemies even start returning fire.

[QUOTE=Saza;40010432]the Shadow is super hard to play and it's like a vanguard minus refilling your shields after a charge[/QUOTE] Disagree. If you spec her properly, you can do a lot of damage with melee and shadow strike. Perfect for silver, and for gold (not in all situations, but still). I play gold only and she is doing fine. Just pick your target carefully, far away from other enemy groups.

So now I've experienced entirely calm party and energetic party. Not sure what happens if you mixed them up. I gotta say during the energetic one everyone seems to have fun but the calm one has two amazing things. Sheparrrrrrrd and Garrus & Zaeed's home defense.

How could 64% kill off Wrex?

[QUOTE=G3rman;40013557]How could 64% kill off Wrex?[/QUOTE] For the people who did not bring their own Mass Effect 2 save (or Mass Effect 1 save for Mass Effect 2) Wrex is cannonly dead.

Alright. So despite everything that's bad and despite it being produced by EA... I'm still going to get Mass Effect 4.

It always annoyed me a little how 2 just [I]presumed[/I] you had a history with Cerberus, and that you'd blown up their bases and junk. How hard would it have been to record a voiceline or two for Jacob just giving a quick explanation of who they are instead? I mean, you can even tell Jacob you don't recognize the name, but he's just all like "Well actually, you should remember us because x"

i wish you could romance legion. it'd be so fun. not even romance, necessarily. just teach my little robot buddy about love. [editline]23rd March 2013[/editline] seriously, it would be awesome imagine the conversation with legion about him realizing you like him [editline]23rd March 2013[/editline] SHEPARD-COMMANDER. WE HAVE AN INQUIRY. Sure, what's up? YOU HAVE BEEN PROPOSITIONING THIS UNIT MORE FREQUENTLY THAN YOU HAVE BEEN PROPOSITIONING OTHER MEMBERS OF THE NORMANDY. WE ARE CONFUSED AS TO WHY YOU ARE DOING THIS. >Paragon option You're special, Legion. I like talking to you. THIS UNIT DOES NOT UNDERSTAND WHY SPEAKING WITH THIS UNIT IS SO PLEASURABLE. You fascinate me, is all. ...WE ARE BUILDING CONSENSUS.
