I just found this tool that lets you get a close match for ME1 faces. http://masseffecttools.99k.org/index.php Is there a save editor that lets me use that face code in my current game?

kevdude posted:Okay, I've encountered a seemingly impossible-to-bypass crash bug, on the mission to rescue Cereberus scientists, and in the fly-in to the mission you see Jacob on the ground. From the zero replies to this I'm guessing no one else has had this problem? If I'm going to have to lose a ton of progress loading an earlier save, I'd really like to know if I should avoid this mission or not.

Just finished the game. I loved it, though I still would criticize the main plot line for being a bit short, just like in the previous two games. One thing I'm really impressed with is the insane amount of references to what you've done in the previous games. I really should play them again from the start doing an all-renegade run that gets everyone killed, just to see how different the game would become. But...the endings. Bleh. What exactly is affected by war readiness? Is it just that you can choose the "unity" ending? Because I didn't really see any of the endings as good. Either Shepard takes control of the Reapers, which for some reason appears to be the paragon ending (at least when looking at the color of the lights around the platform) even though it was exactly what the Illusive Man tried to do, which can only end in failure. Then there's the "unified DNA and harmony" ending which also sucks because forcibly rewriting the biology of everyone in the galaxy without asking is simply not something you do. There's also the part about the gates being destroyed, probably because Bioware didn't want the ending to seem too utopian. Then there's what I assume is the renegade ending, which I picked even though I were like 95% paragon. Kill all synthetics, which includes the Reapers, the Geth, and...EDI? Small price to pay for (temporary) peace. Also, the ending videos showed the relays getting destroyed for some reason, which I wasn't informed about. Bad Bioware. edit: Sober posted:
This showed up for me in the good red ending, after seeing the Normandy crashed on some paradise planet (with crew intact), then after that it showed the clip of burnt Shepard taking a gasp of air. ymgve fucked around with this message at 05:36 on Mar 8, 2012 |

Harlock posted:So how many people playing on PS3 are getting regular freezes. I saw some people in the Bioware forums having similar issues of just infrequent lockups I had a pretty serious one that started looping on my save and I could not bypass, so I had to load an earlier one and lose hours of progress. No one even replied to my post here so I'm guessing it's not happening to a lot of people.

Max out Charge, with the final upgrade being 100% shields, then Assault Mastery prioritizing maxing out weight capacity, then power damage. Then Fitness and Nova at the same time. By level 30, you will be Charging almost literally every second and practically invincible with your shields refilling every time. Ignore Shockwave, bonus power is whatever you want but I prefer an ammo power so it doesn't impede my constant Charging.

murder all posters posted:So you need 5000 war score to get the ending where Shepard lives? My score is 5800 but shep is still dead. 5000 effective assets. That's after they are reduced by readiness. There are also other factors that effect the assets required for certain endings. Like whether you saved the collector base.

Obviously if you have Ashley you won't be able to get it - I'm not sure if it works like ME2 where unlocking a bonus power unlocks it for every character.

If you increase your war readiness with multiplayer, is that across all your characters, or do you have to do it with each one.

Wingless posted:It's so obvious you haven't finished it yet. You'll be back. ...welp. (Ending) Really? How in the bloody hell did that get past the cutting room floor? You couldn't put an ending that horrible in a 3rd grade play and get away with it, and this was a multimillion dollar production. I mean... Really? What the hell were you thinking, Bioware?  And right up to the point Shepard got hit by the laser this was one of the best games I'd ever played. You know what? gently caress that. Here's a fun thought exercise that will be much more satisfying. Make up your own ending and forget whatever that bizarre bullshit was. My Shep is drinking wine with Liara at a beach somewhere and yelling at a little blue kid not to wander off too far.  Granted, that's not the best example of said thought exercise but that one sentence I thought up in about 10 seconds is better than the real ending. Jesus Christ.

So, as a follow up to the question I asked yesterday, it seems the only way to import your character and start at level 1 is to edit your ME2 save to put you at level 1. Simply respeccing won't be enough (though it will prevent the auto-allocation of points).

So in 2 of my playthroughs i lost team members (thane and mordin respectively) but when I look at the saves in the ME3 loader, they say 11 crew alive. I'm not upset, because both of those deaths were me not paying attention to who i send back with the crew. Forgive me, but I'm sure this has been asked and answered, but I looked for a few pages back, and didn't see anything, but does war readiness have any game impact outside of the big board in the war room? Lastly, where does Origin keep its exes? I want to see if I can set this up to run through steam. I keep F12ing trying to screenshot all the cool stuff.
