ME2 DLC: Is Arrival on par with Shadow Broker? Or would Overlord be better? I have points lying around.

Arrival is pretty much Bad Storytelling 101; just read its wiki article or watch the cutscenes on Youtube to understand how it connects ME2 to ME3. Overlord is decent, and getting to play with the Hammerhead a bit more pushes it up to good if you enjoy that (I did). Plus it has payback in ME3.

How do I equip heavy weapons? I've picked a bunch up on my travels but I see no way to equip them. I'm a sentinel if that helps.

NihilCredo posted:Heavy weapons are "disposable" in this game. You pick them up, use them, then once you run out of ammo or switch to another weapon you drop them to the ground (if the latter, you can pick them up again). My Vanguard uses them to overkill the fodder enemies who aren't worth face-slamming into.

Gotta give the game credit for the most chilling handwave for heavy weapons in the middle of a level (Krogan scout mission spoiler): The commander told them to carry in weapons...for the next team

Anyone who is not playing this game without a proper audio system is really missing out because the audio is really good. It's an awesome feeling when a reaper shoots his laser beam and the entire room rumbles.

It's used once, at least with Kaidan. You can come in to the lounge one time to see him losing all his chips to James. But no, Shepard doesn't actually use it to my knowledge.

I can't remember if I missed this, but is there any point to the War Map? I played through, grabbing schematics and artifacts -- and eavesdropping because the Prime Example of Humanity and Hero of All Sentient Life is also the creepiest fucker in the Citadel -- because I thought I'd be buffing the units and for when it's time to take the fight to the Reapers. So for my entire game, the Readiness Level for all sectors was 50% and then zeroed out for the final mission. I also didn't have any Salarian support outside of an STG team and Kirrahe, but Joker still mentioned the Salarian fleet was reporting for the final battle. I guess more of Hammer would get through, but what kind of a outcome is that? As for the ending I thought it was mentioned (In the Codex, maybe also Arrival in ME2) that destroying a Mass Relay basically irradiated the system, killing all life and rendering any planet a wasteland. Doesn't that mean Shepard basically genocided trillions, including Earth?

Does anyone know if damage reduction you get from Tech Armor would stack with the damage reduction you get from Reave or is it multiplicative? Like, you can spec Tech Armor up to 40% reduction, and Reave also reduces incoming damage while it's active. I am assuming Reave is what you get from Kaiden, because it would be pretty badass to run around as a Sentinel with tons of damage reduction spamming Reave and meleeing the poo poo out of everything

Do you get enough money in the game to buy everything? I've spent a lot on 2 special armors and am now considering that i might have wasted that cash. Also, can I respec Shep? I put a lot of points into Adrenaline because the expand button was there and I thought that it was a "main" character power. Then I realised the expand thing was available for all abilities and that I rarely, if ever, use adrenaline so want to stick all of those points elsewhere. I'm also regretting not having my save from ME2 kicking about. I keep on getting into conversations about all the ME2 DLC I played but (in this universe) I had no apparent part in.

Ah poo poo, I want to have all of those Armors  If you're gonna fill the game with a lot of expensive stuff, at least put in a way of generating cash to buy it all (even if it is a monotonous process). Guess i'll play through the game as is, then hit a second playthrough with a trainer or something to give me infinite cash.

There should be a Renegade Interrupt where Shepard pistol-whips the person babbling about the DLC until they remember no, they didn't in fact hire a dozen dumbshit useless mercs to raid the Shadow Broker. And then that opens up further dialogue with Dr. Chakwas about why Liara "fell down the stairs".

A Humble Emperor posted:Kai Leng is goddamn terrible. During the fight on Thessia he didn't even pop my shields once and was constantly hiding to recharge his own. Then suddenly a cutscene starts and he beats my entire squad single handedly and makes off with the Prothean VI? What the gently caress? And again when you're at Tim's base, you beat him and knock him on the floor and everyone just loving turns around like oh no, he couldn't possibly come back to life and try to stab Shepard! I really liked that his first boss fight was really trivial (at least as an engineer), but then he gets magic cutscene powers after you beat him and he just destroys you in said cutscene. Good job Bioware! Yeah I read books. posted:Why do the video cutscenes look worse than the actual in-game graphics? Seriously, they look like they'd be at home in the original Starcraft...

I liked Leng's fights. Felt different. And come on, when has there ever been a great boss fight where they were anywhere as good as when they are in a cutscene? New Topic: What did you think about the soundtrack compared to the first two games. I really liked it, more than the others even (and the suicide mission was my jam for a long time).

Has Bioware said anything about a patch? I just want a FOV fix, holstering and controller support. I like the ME2 soundtrack the most I think.

I want to know where the Normandy was going, much in the way I wanted to know why the Normandy dropped off the anti-Grunt dudes during his loyalty mission in ME2 . I mean, I know the answer will revolve around stuff getting cut and the remainder getting pasted together/repurposed but goddamn.

I thought the Kai Leng fights were a lot of fun, especially the one on Thessia. I beat the game last night with an EMS of 4100, and did each of the endings. WHAT THE gently caress. What awful endings. What the.... GOD DAMMIT.
