I thought DX:HR endings were bad but this is tons worse. It's almost like Bioware couldn't fathom what to do a proper conclusion with the million of choices that were made in ME1/2. Thankfully, MP is a complete blast.

Biggest issue I have with this loving game is how it seems that side missions will require Disc 2, but main missions require Disc 1... despite a full install of both discs. Did I do this wrong or something? Is there a fix here? I learned to tune out the armchair sociologists who raised hell about EDI, femshep, etc. a long time ago, but now that the game is actually out, it is impossible to find an opinion about the ending that isn't either "this is a gripping conclusion to a great series" or "lol what gently caress Bioware always and forever and ever." Not too far in, but really curious where this ends up!

Another annoyance with it is that even if you install both games to HD, after a disc-swap the platter keeps spinning.

If I had known this, I certainly would have gotten the PS3 version, imported ME2 character be damned.

I'm trying to avoid as many spoilers as possible but this one I have to know: I loaded a file that romanced/stayed loyal to Liara but nothing's happened with her yet other than minor stuff. Will it kill it for her if I fool around with Specialist Traynor? Also Allers seems like she's interested but not to that point yet.. Same question. Basically, can I be FemShep Space Pimp or will everyone hate me?

Lawlicaust posted:I'm really debating if I want to do a NG+ now or wait to see what the future dlc will be. I kinda want to do a NG+ now because I had so many bugs that broken quests and characters. Only official spot where I've seen anything mentioned about NG+ is in the Prima guide stating "A secret ending is also available to players who complete the game a second time." and when looking at the listing of amount of points needed for which ending, it only lists the ones people are complaining about with mention of Liara's reward for keeping the paddlefish alive through an imported ME2 and ME3 playthrough . I've searched and asked around but no one's given me any answer on any definitive NG+ playthroughs. Closest said was that Xio guy who first leaked the endings from his Space edition allegedly said somewhere that he'd done an ME2 import playthrough and a NG+ playthrough in 20+ something hours with no change in endings. Since I do question some of his playthroughs as some factors just don't seem to add up in my eyes, I'd really like to hear what someone else has to say about a NG+ playthrough ending. However since so many are posting that they're really not feeling it for any replays after going through the ending selection, I don't think we're going to see anything soon barring a Gibbed style editor for ME3 where you can just flag a fresh save to go through NG+.

Where can I find Kelly? I'm still in act 1 and I've ran up and down the citadel looking for her. Does she only appear after a certain mission is done? I heard speculation that she only appears if you romanced her in ME2, anyone know if this is true? I just want my fish back.

Urgh, I've just been getting shunted back and forward between amazon.com and amazon.co.uk reps over my preorder bonus, and I'm at the point where I say fuckit. Any UK goons want a free copy of this game? Be the first to PM me with a valid UK shipping address and I'll order you one. I'm keeping the preorder bonus, just to be clear.

I don't know if you can go there on your first trip, but you can after going to the Turian moon

I'm just after the Quarian missions, and Ashley has sent me an email telling me to come see her on the Normandy. All fine, except she's not where she's meant to be  Apparently the Starboard observation deck, and she appears on the map there but isn't physically present. Anyone find her?

I like how after stating how good it is to see him again, Garrus just calmly paces over to Shepard and Grunt as Grunt stumbles, completely slick with blood. Just like old times.

Psyker posted:There are only 3, correct? Synthesis, Control, and Sacrifice? There isn't some magic ending where Shepard survives, is there? Endings: Apparently you have to have 5k+ effective military strength, then you get a quick clip of Shepard waking up at the end. I did every side quest I could find, salvaged every asset I could find (every system was at 100% found) and yet I still only had 5400 or so total strength, so because I didn't play any multiplayer I only had 2700 or so, which is a full green bar. One more retarded thing to throw on the pile of complaints about the ending. Granted, there were a few things that would have increased my effective military strength, like I rewrote the Geth which weakened the Quarians, and Eve died so the Krogan weren't at full strength, but I seriously doubt that would have resulted in almost doubling my EMS. Making it so that you had to play multiplayer to get the best ending is pretty poo poo, especially considering this is not made clear in any way.

I had 7052 war assets or so, but because I didn't play multi I effectively only got half. No bonus clip for me. The galactic readiness thing is stupid. Multiplayer should NOT affect the singleplayer game. VV Don't worry about that. If you leave a system without fuel you will go to the gate for "free".

I already thought that I simply couldn't do it since it probably took me couple hours of dying to beat it. That being said it has been so far (at the quarian fleet now) the only fight that has been even near that hard.
