  • I’m loving it so far. Charging Shotguns?! :open_mouth:

  • is it just me… or does Kasumi sound more “Japanese” in this one?

  • The Human Adept is the business. Especially when Shockwave’s at max and you can do it at guys in the air! And especially with the Geth Particle Shotgun I got. :smiley: lol I hate the whole “Nova Smash” thing alot of Vanguards are doing online, though.

  • I did see one freeze with the multiplayer. It’s a shame that Bioware can’t clean up before making final builds.

Or EA won’t let them. Cats really gotta stop ragging on the developers of games so much. They do what they can with the money and TIME they are given. A lot of people have thicker ethnic accents this time around. It does help to distinguish characters like
that guy…

Spoiler

Javik. Dude sounds straight up like he’s from Africa.

363

Man, I’m hype now. My Mass Effect 3 just came.

Spoiler

…And so did I.

Hopefully, stuff carries over all right.

364

i think the best time to start From Ashes is ASAP, since it will unlock more convo options for you as you journey.

365

Ok. I just didnt want to accidently activate that extra mission and do it early by mistake if that mission was clearly meant for after clearing the game.

366

Oh btw, if you’re still playing through ME2, playing Project Overlord and Lair of the Shadow Broker actually has some minor consequence in ME3. So make sure you don’t skip them if you want as much data to carry over as possible.

367

I’m still waiting on my copy, It won’t get here till tomorrow… the wait is killing me.

368

Yeah I just beat the campaign for ME2 last night. Plus took care of shadow broker. Im in the middle of project overlord right now and will finish the rest of the side missions too. hoping to start ME3 late tonight or early tomorrow.

369

Don’t forget The Arrival!

I really do like that, big or small, I see the consequences of my choices in ME1 and ME2 come up in ME3.

370

So apparently there is some confusion on how to get the perfect ending in this game. Has a lot to do with getting all the War Assets you can during single player.

371

Man, my Journal has too many sidequests in it. Gotta clear them and build that war effort…

By the way, if you listen to the random conversations fully (i.e. all their parts), you can go to the spectre room and check for any requests relating to them. But be careful…

Spoiler

I foolishly authorized that paranoid asari to have a gun, and she ended up killing herself. It appears to have affected my war asset, because there was update about how she died.

372

Anyone know what promote does in Multiplayer yet?

373

Did you get the Perfect Paragon ending? If so how?

Spoiler

She killed herself after one of my decisions got the entire Migrant Fleet destroyed :frowning:

How endings work

Spoiler

You need at least 5000 points if Effective Military Strength and not Total Military Strength. In order to do this you need to find a bunch of artifacts by scanning planets (all locations are online already), or playing the multi-player as well to help you out. It is mainly the same ending, just has a few different things here and there.

Spoiler

She kills herself if you side with the Geth, you need high paragon or renegade to get them to work together. Trick is to do all the side missions possible before moving on and doing a priority quest, as many side-quests are available only a certain points and can only be completed before certain events happen.

375

A simple yes/no response to this question is all I’m looking for, and even though I highly doubt it’s considered spoiler in any way shape or form, I’ll use spoiler tags just in case people get butthurt.

Spoiler

Is it true that it’s best to do each side mission you get as soon as you can because a number of them have to be done by a certain amount of missions, while the story ones can wait?

376

[details=Spoiler]Yes, some side missions you won’t be able to complete if you finish certain priority missions. On the other hand, there are side missions you can’t complete until later on because you can’t travel to that system yet (they appear on the map as you progress the story).

377

Just started the game 2 hours ago. im loving it so far. Seems so much more cinematic this time around. Feels different…but im still liking it.

378

Also this game seems alot less interactive. Shepard would never open her mouth to say something without the speech wheel popping up for you to direct the conversation, now it hardly ever pops up and you just sit back and watch, every now and then hitting a trigger button to intervene or hardly using the speech wheel.

Not sure if I like that.

Also this game is pretty buggy for the 4 hours ive been playing it. Opening doors and activating levers from the other side of walls and heads go spinning in the wrong direction focusing on other things while having conversations. And my ME2 save file couldn’t import my shepards face properly, had to do it over manually.

All of this on Day 1 release? Bioware had better been working on a patch for this since it went gold.

379

Thanks jinsa, I appreciate it.

Ending

[details=Spoiler]Profound Sadness. Such a depressing end. Shepard friends are stranded on an uncharted world, the mass relays destroyed, no consequences of our choices show up and we get bedtime freaking story?

I feel like Bioware just destroyed the Mass Effect universe, and it had so much potential for future titles.[/details]
