[QUOTE=BreenIsALie;29229091]Fuck, Might do it the hard way tomorrow then[/QUOTE] Oddly enough I'm finding that the song "Quest for Peace" in the related songs for "Lost Generations" works well with the Debut Trailer. [editline]16th April 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Janus Vesta;29229103][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0GFRcFm-aY[/media] :colbert:[/QUOTE] Well played :v:
Have this as my wake up ringtone on my cell: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uXaPALw6v8[/media] And I simply love Kasumi's theme song! [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJVaqxwHMNk[/media]
[QUOTE=usaokay;29230672]Just realized that if Shepard doesn't allow Kasumi to [sp]destroy the greybox (since it contains some info that will severely cripple the Alliance), I wonder what will happen to the Alliance[/sp] and the consequences it will have on Shepard that will affect the endgame in ME3.[/QUOTE] Doesn't that mean those who weren't able to get the DLC are fucked?
I don't think they'll make decisions in Kasumi/Overlord/Shadow Broker have a huge effect on ME3 due to them being DLC. Sure, stuff will pop up about them, possibly a few minor side-quests, but they won't make something abstract like the greybox situation an endgame influencing decision.
Made an interesting dub. Seeing as Tubedubber wasn't working, I tried [url=http://youtubedoubler.com/?video1=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Dz1TFqGVJ7tg&start1=0&video2=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DBnEej1RfqTs&start2=17&authorName=Arachnidus]this[/url]. It's not perfect, a bit rough around the corners if I do say so myself, but yeah. [editline]16th April 2011[/editline] By the way, mute the ME3 trailer for better results.
I started playing ME1 after trying it out like a year ago. Found the inventory system and the goal in general really confusing, I think I got hold of most of it now though. But I find the combat to be very hard sometimes, especially versus the Geth or whatever they're called. I use cover and I have good armor and put a shitload of points into my armor stats. I run it at the easiest level yet my health and suit power goes away in a couple of seconds. My companions, independent of which tend to die all the time too. I like the story though and the dialouge interface is really nice.

Fuck my old brother has my mass effect 2 copy in his apartment now and i barely passed the horizon mission. I guess no mass effect 3 for me until i buy another copy.
[QUOTE=tommo400;29231771]What class are you? You might not be using your powers effectively[/QUOTE] Heh, the thing is I'm playing off my old saves from last year. I saved them when I reformatted a while ago. I didn't even remember that I picked a class, where can I see which class I am? I started off now right after I became a Spectre, so far I've saved that Liara girl and I'm currently on this snowy planet where I'm driving around in my car, the one where theres a lot of corporations or whatever.
[QUOTE=Canuhearme?;29228412][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1TFqGVJ7tg[/media] :colbert:[/QUOTE] Agree, but shit quality. Better quality (plus a better image): [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1tY3x6dBrI[/media] The second I heard that song for the first time I thought to myself, "that NEEDS to be used in the ME3 trailer." I can just picture the camera pulling out from focussing on a single Reaper at about 1:30 to show an entire star (Haestrom's perhaps?) surrounded by Reapers. Not so much that they block it out, but enough Reapers that clusters of them cause what looks like small, dark patches to cover the surface of the star. That'd be bad ass.

[QUOTE=Psychokitten;29233338]Game ends with reapers killing everyone because you didn't buy a specific armor pack.[/QUOTE] Game Over if you didn't find every single resource in ME1. I want the Alliance to humorously comment about the massive amounts of minerals you have if you have a certain amount of each by the end of ME2.

[QUOTE=BreenIsALie;29228081]Wait, This was the one i used, It's better [url]http://www.mp3mymp3.com/[/url] Ah "ninjas"[/QUOTE] Bullshit, it only records from the mic. I want it to record from the sounds playing on my PC.
[QUOTE=Confused111;29205704]I've got a problem with my Mass Effect. Whenever I start a character, it goes to the part where it views the world out from the window before showing Shepard's backside. As it pans across the planet, it stops, and the sound stutters. I get a general protection fault error, which shouldn't happen, considering i updated to the latest patch and everything. The text from the error is as follows: [code]History: Gmatrix 2D::Swap Address = 0x10bb5ed6 RaiseException() Address = 0x7c812afb Cxx()ThrowException = 0x78158e89 Gmatrix2D::Swap = 0x10da7e83[/code]I have Windows XP SP3, a Geforce 9800 GTX+, up to date drivers, 3326 mb of ram, and an AMD Athlon II X2 250 processor. If anyone has any idea what's wrong, or needs any information, can you please PM me?[/QUOTE] So no one can help?
[QUOTE=Confused111;29234377]So no one can help?[/QUOTE] No idea, it might be the patch if I had to guess though. They were probably updating the Win7/Vista versions but left out XP (due to it being a decade old now), thus breaking it. Can someone confirm/deny this?

Then again your right about them not having a big effect. I don't see anything being a major effect such as saving the Rachni queen, saving the base, rewriting the geth, etc. To much work for Bioware to put into making separate storylines.

I bet ME3 has been under development since the day they started work on ME2. It uses the exact same engine allegedly (maybe with some minor modifications), and it's the conclusion to their epic trilogy, so I fail to see any reason why they WOULDN'T work on the two of them side by side. They'd want to put as much time as possible into ME3 to make it... well... nothing short of epic. And if I'm right in that deduction, then you can bet your ass that ME3 is gonna be one HUGE game in which your choices will massively alter the outcome.

You should encounter groups of colonist or some corporation representatives pissed off about that.
Save everyone by installing Shepard VI in reaper systems. "I delete data like you on the way to real errors."
[QUOTE=Pachengo;29235092]Save everyone by installing Shepard VI in reaper systems. "I delete data like you on the way to real errors."[/QUOTE] I'm going to shit myself if that turns out to be the actual solution. Highly unlikeable, but it if does, I'll even post pics. Well, maybe not but you get the point.
Am i the only one who is sort of scared how Mass Effect 3 will turn out after Dragon Age 2?
[QUOTE=***zer0***;29235697]Am i the only one who is sort of scared how Mass Effect 3 will turn out after Dragon Age 2?[/QUOTE] DA2 was made by Bioware in Edmonton, ME3 is made by Bioware in Montreal. The two teams are completely seperate. They're almost 3,000KM apart.
[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;29235879]DA2 was made by Bioware in Edmonton[/QUOTE] Ah, so that's why the ME2 Blood Dragon Armor has a connection with Edmonton Blood Dragon team.
[QUOTE=***zer0***;29235697]Am i the only one who is sort of scared how Mass Effect 3 will turn out after Dragon Age 2?[/QUOTE] I'm sort of scared how it'll turn out in general. Like... what the Reapers motives are. I hope it's a good reason like they're actually trying to protect life on a larger scale (like the 'dark energy damaging the fabric of space' theory would suggest), or, as others have suggested, they have some kind of deluded belief that they're somehow making species better by uplifting them. Or, hell, maybe they do the former and rationalise it further with the latter ("not only are we protecting all future life, but we're also making the life we're reaping better than they were before.") I'm gonna be sort of disappointed if it turns out it's JUST reproduction and survival though. Although I guess it does make sense in a way. A species isn't just going to lay down, submit, and let itself die because it's energy and resource requirements are absurdly high. Humanity would sooner attempt to build a Dyson swarm than we would let ourself disappear from the universe for good. Self-preservation forces us to do so. However, that said, as much as it makes sense that the Reapers just want to survive and continue, it would be a little bit disappointing still. I'm sure there'd be better ways (like building a Dyson sphere and uploading themselves into as I believe some have suggested the Geth are doing). Oh, on that note, I hope we see some Reaper in ME3 that dwarfs all Reapers we've currently seen. Like... megastructure size. Maybe the leader of ALL of the Reapers? Or just some huge, central hub where they can all upload themselves (like the Dyson sphere idea). I'm sure Harbinger isn't the top of the food chain.

I thought it came off as a little strong. Don't know how you get a "they're actually the good guys" vibe.

It'd be disappointing if that was their 'reasoning'... that they're just absolutely nuts. I think a few people (including myself) sort of picked up on that whole 'dark energy is damaging stars' (well, at least one star that we know of) point that was brought up in ME2 and connected it with Element Zero and thought, "huh, maybe the Reapers are culling all life in the galaxy because the constant use of mass effect technology is damaging the fabric of space itself and the Reapers are trying to restore order to the cosmos as so not to let irreparable damage occur to the galaxy." It could also explain why they remain dormant for 50000 years doing fuck all only to wake up to reap (obviously energy requirements are probably the likeliest reason for that, but perhaps they also don't want to be using the very technology that damages space itself in the period of time between reapings). And it would further explain why they want species to develop down a mass effect path of technological development. Imagine some species found a totally new method of FTL travel (that could be applied to other things as well such as fabrication of materials and weaponry (just like how mass effect fields are used in those areas too). Now imagine this new technology was just as effective as using element zero, only more difficult. Then the Reapers attack, this species defeats them (because the Reapers are unprepared to fight this new technology), and, after the Reapers are gone, this species finally discovers mass effect technology (perhaps from the Reapers corpses, or just through chance). This species could then go on to use element zero unchecked (because they find it to be easier than the method they originally used), and, unbeknownst to them, they begin to damage the structure of space itself and kill most of the stars in the galaxy rendering the galaxy 'dead'. It's just a theory, but, bear in mind, dark energy as a real force of nature is what physicists currently believe is causing the expansion of the universe and may one day quite literally rip the universe to pieces (big rip scenario)!
