Mass Effect Megathread: He said "I should go." Do I sound like that? - Games

So I tinkered a bit with Mass Effect 2 and its main ini configuration file and started the game all over using a file save editor to bypass Mass Effect the first. I also decided not to use the editor to gain squad members before the proper time (given I'm a sentinel, Garrus and Kasumi, whom you can recruit fairly early in the game, are two excellent choices for my character). Screenies: [t]http://s2.postimg.org/xs7d23adj/2015_04_27_00008.jpg[/t][t]http://s27.postimg.org/bdli477i9/2015_04_27_00021.jpg[/t] I wanted to force some kind of AA on the game via Nvidia Inspector, but apparently doing that heats up my CPU like crazy (I tried to force a very heavy AA and my CPU's temperature sky rocketed to 100 c°). Given the game itself lacking the option, forcing it via tool brings issues

In my CPU's defence, that was one hell of a heavy super AA

Seems Cerberus gave Shepard a facelift whilst she was under... [img]http://i.imgur.com/p6xh0Pf.jpg?1[/img]

what do you guys want for the next mass effect? the main protag better have a new version of "I should go"

I hope Mass Effect 3's weapon and armor customization comes back.

I think we'll see that come back but in even more depth to be honest, or at least our armor.

Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 Digital Deluxe Edition are on sale on steam for €7. I'm thinking of buying them to replay the games on the PC, and buy ME3 on Origin once I've beaten them. Here's the thing though, I already own them both, I just don't know where the disks are. Should I buy them? Should I just let Mass Effect remain a bitter sweet memory?

Feel like I'm done with ME3 projects so I moved on and made a simple teaser for ME2. If you want I could post the full trailer here when it's done. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nISJkiEbZcc[/media]

Not only are the games painfully cheap, but you have a desire to play them and the disks as you said are lost, and I also assume the console versions, which are not nearly as good as the PC ones. Spend your money as you please, not only is it petty pocket change but if its what you want, who cares? Its like eating a food you like only once, it makes no sense.

I'm tempted to romance Miranda over Tali. Tempted, not inclined If there is something Mass Effect 3 did right was to make Miranda a great character in her own right

[QUOTE=Kite_shugo;47611548]what do you guys want for the next mass effect?[/QUOTE] Multiplayer to come back with even more characters and opitions. Even though it was basically a glorified horde mode, it had a lot of loadouts and it was awesome playing as the aliens.

To my knowledge you can simply add your copy to Origin, if I remember right. I also am more than certain you can port your saves as normal.

Yeah I have me1 and 2 on steam and going through all 3 games I had no trouble carrying the saves from 1 game to the next. I'd assume many people are in the same boat.

[QUOTE=Loadingue;47613138]I don't think I could ever buy Mass Effect 2 on Steam because of all the missing DLC and the incompatibility (afaik) with ME3's saves.[/QUOTE] there is no compatibility problem, your saves aren't in the steam folder, it's in my documents. the same goes for dragon age. to be safe, do what i did and have both me2 and me3 installed at the same time, that way when you start me3 and port over your character there won't be any issues. as far as the dlc bit goes, log into cerberus network and go to the bioware social site thing, use your ea account info and you can download all the me2 dlc that comes with the digital deluxe edition.

[QUOTE=Kite_shugo;47611548]what do you guys want for the next mass effect? the main protag better have a new version of "I should go"[/QUOTE] I want Bioware to call the new hero Jack O'Neill (that's 2 Ls), [i]no reason in particular...[/i] Really though, I want characters as engaging as in the current series. I honestly can't imagine a new character having a new line like 'in the middle of some calibrations' or 'still totally worth it'. We're getting new characters, new stories and a new place and all I want out of it is it to be as good as what came before.

[QUOTE=EliaMoroes;47612472]I'm tempted to romance Miranda over Tali. Tempted, not inclined If there is something Mass Effect 3 did right was to make Miranda a great character in her own right[/QUOTE] Miranda was a bitch in 2 and a clingy idiot in 3.

[QUOTE=27X;47616506]Miranda was a bitch in 2 and a clingy idiot in 3.[/QUOTE] I like the theory that the Illusive Man made her romance Shepard in ME2 to further Cerberus' interests, and she possibly falls in love for real at some point during or after ME2.

All I know is that my Renegade Shepard romanced Miranda specifically to woo her away from Cerberus. A lot of Shepard's actions in 2 make way more sense if you're roleplaying a morally empty, pragmatic bastard.

[QUOTE=27X;47616506]Miranda was a bitch in 2 and a clingy idiot in 3.[/QUOTE] In Mass Effect 2, Miranda and Shepard bang just for sexual tension In Mass Effect 3, you slowly discover what exactly her "engineered for perfection" entails, and it's heart wrenching. The Citadel DLC doesn't hurt her case either

snip - makes no sense

You know what I want most from Mass Effect: The Next Generation? The ability to buy the inevitable DLC from Origin instead of Bioware's shitty website.

[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;47619488]You know what I want most from Mass Effect: The Next Generation? The ability to buy the inevitable DLC from Origin instead of Bioware's shitty website.[/QUOTE] ME3 has that, I'm almost certain Mass Effect: Voyager will.

[QUOTE=Rossy167;47619551]ME3 has that, I'm almost certain Mass Effect: Voyager will.[/QUOTE] Good. I had to re-buy Dragon Age: Origis on steam because it was cheaper and easier to buy the Ultimate Edition than go through Bioware's website.

[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;47619488]You know what I want most from Mass Effect: The Next Generation? The ability to buy the inevitable DLC from Origin instead of Bioware's shitty website.[/QUOTE] I was going to mention that when you posted about buying me1+2 for 7 euros.

She goes from "I gots this, and I'm a bitch because I can be and it gets results" to "oh lawds shepawds, surely you can done help me, for I am too swoony and meek to help myself" (while still wearing a cerberus outfit to blend in) [quote] slowly [/quote] You see her twice, or three times if you buy the level99 fancervix DLC. I do not think that word means what you think it means.

[sp]Fuck the God-Child, fuck 'the Shepard' and fuck having to watch Shepard's crew morn him shortly before seeing him fucking come back to life! Just fuck ME3's ending, it was so bad.[/sp] Sorry about that I just replayed ME3 again, and this time I remembered to install the Extended Cut.

Extended Cut doesn't really make it better, it just makes it not as broken.

DLC is decent when it is comparable to the old Expansion Packs. And meh, the ending is not as bad as the fandom pretends. Could be far better, but "no we want to save you from Dark Matter", as it was originally intended, isn't better per se. If the Leviathan were in the vanilla game, it would probably be recieved far better.
