Yeah I'd say that's about right. quote:Tachunka questions I attempted to informed Eve of the sabotage but was interrupted the first time, the second time I had the chance I didn't say anything. She later had died from stress? or something and I informed Mordiin of the sabotage and he went kablooie. Was this the best course of action? I have Hackett telling me I should have saved Eve and the Salarrians were pissed but joined up later. I don't see how I could have had a better outcome/everyone lives. Well the only thing I did different from you was telling everybody about the Salarian plan when I had the second chance to do so, and Eve survived. I guess that everybody knowing means that people take more care protecting her or something?

Kongming posted:Eve will die if you destroyed Maelon's data in ME2 and I think also if Wrex died in ME1. Sabotaging the cure will earn you Salarian aid but I think you lose Krogan support because Wrex finds out. Letting Mordin apply the cure gets you Krogan support but the Salarians withhold their fleet. Eve being dead weakens the Krogan because infighting breaks out among the clans over who is responsible for her death. I'm not sure if one course of action is more beneficial. You have to decide if you want Krogan support or Salarian support, but I don't think it matters in the end. You are right if you saved the Councillors in ME1 the Salarian one may want to have a word.

Without it, Mordin doesn't have the information necessary to maintain Eve's health during the process, and she dies. The constant "you wanna tell them about the sabotage now? How about NOW?" choices just serve to drive in the knife if you go Renegade.

Really sorry guys, but there are 139 pages here and I'm desperate to play. I'm on 360, and my import thing doesn't seem to want to import my sheperd's face. I can't really connect to the internet (no ethernet cable in this flat, and my 360 is one of the original ones). Is there any solution or will I have to try to recreate the face? Seriously irritated that this game could ship with such an error.

Romance question for anyone who knows: I chose to try to continue my romance with Miranda in my first playthrough. We apparently got it on at some point but there wasn't a cut scene showing the hot action and I didn't get the Paramour achievement which I believe is only achieved by romancing someone and getting the cut scene to accompany it. My question: Does anyone know which options provide a cut scene and thus the Paramour achievement?

It's because they changed how the face creation works in ME3, so faces carrying over from ME1 can't be imported at all. ME2 faces should be able to if they have a creation code, but they might be a little wrong. I remember this being mentioned before the game came out.

In ME1 and 2 my guy looked like a mix between the Fonz and Steven Steagal. Whenever he squinted, his eyes clamped shut. When he got angry, his left eye started twitching. Sadly that couldn't carry over to ME3, but I DID gain the ability to make the fabled Shepface every time he feels any emotion. Also I misplaced the eyebrows so whenever he gets angry it looks like they're floating away.

This is really true and sad. Human characters in Mass Effect made with a specific model in mind (say, Shepard's cover model, Miranda, Jacob, Ashley, Kaidan, etc) all look fine, but random human male characters made only with the character creation system look ugly as sin. I stopped trying to make a custom male Shepard in ME2.

Aristobulus posted:I can't let this post go by without throwing in my support for it. I said it in my huge post before but I was completely in awe at that. Just astounded. Both of Liara's final romance scenes were simply amazing, and I say this as someone that obviously loved the rest of her scenes as well, but those went even beyond the rest. In the first game, I chose Liara because she was the only alternative to space racist Ashley. It was okay. I found the romance relationships to be weak compared to the friendly relationships you make with other characters in ME1 and 2. The Garrus bromance could not be beat. But Liara in ME3? Poetry. It was sensitive, mature, and thoughtful. I believed it could actually happen between real people. I didn't cover my eyes and press the X button rapidly through the romance scenes. Aristobulus posted:What that meant Liara was sharing with Shepard too, that they were completely melding together and Liara was sharing her very, mind, being and essence with Shepard, was not something lost on me. I had to catch my breath a bit after that. This. I realized what it was a minute after it ended, and I was floored again. drat, Bioware.

I bought the "From Ashes" DLC after I started my game, but have yet to see any sign of the squadmate or other added content. I just completed Priority: Tuchanka, and someone on the last page said it was possible to bring him on that mission. Am I doing something wrong? Is it a known technical issue?

Hell, the vermire survivor is a human alliance soldier just like Shep, it's total action movie predestined romantic couple just by that alone.

And gently caress the sequence in London where you have to avoid a beam while masses of Banshees and Marauders come at you. Yeah, you can kill the Banshees without problems by using the beam, but there's no cover and the Marauders just shred my shields. Need more people with Overload, I guess, Garrus isn't covering it.

I have to say, I was somewhat confused at my ending, seeing as how my team for the final section was EDI and Liara. We're all at the run up to the tower, we all make a break for it, and it appears only Shepard survives. Then I do the synthesis ending and EDI and Liara end up stepping off the Normandy.Ravenfood posted:And gently caress the sequence in London where you have to avoid a beam while masses of Banshees and Marauders come at you.

I can't Singularity the fuckers and I can't shoot them down in a straight fight. The way I handled that was to use the truck on its side near the first missile launcher as cover. It's on its side, so it's tall cover meaning the laser can't get you behind it. Use that, pop out around the sides to take down the barriers on the Banshees. I picked up Energy Drain from Tali, plus I had Overload on EDI, so the two of us concentrating on a target could take down the barrier. Ignore the Marauders unless they get too close. Then, once you hear that the target is in range, make a mad dash for the terminal. Like, seriously, I just got to the right side of that truck, waited for the laser beam to reset, and made a crazy dash for the terminal ignoring all the enemies out there.

Charlie Mopps posted:Eh, i admit my bias might make me see things not completely like they are. Haha, I certainly understand that. And I mean, I'm not really qualified to talk on if Liara comes across as more or less canon than other romances, because I've only romanced Liara. I know a bit about the other romances, but it's just in what I've picked up from pieces told to me by people who did other romances. I think it would take someone who did multiple romances to really comment. I can talk about Liara's romance, sure, but that's all I can talk about, I mean. In depth.

That's kinda what happened with me, although not the romance part since I picked Liara. If I went back and did it again, I probably would have saved Ashley, but the way I played that out ended up having Kaidan on the bomb and Ashley on the AA tower, and I thought protecting the bomb was more important than the AA tower.

With just lift and warp specced that way I can reliably clear a crowd of, say, Assault Troopers in one combo, in less than three seconds. It's harder with guys that have defenses, but they often have guys that don't near by, so use them as your floating grenades.

I romanced Ashley and I thought it was a little strange how close Liara and Shep were. They were like really close friends. Garrus was best bro but it seemed clear that Liara was Shepard's closest friend. Maybe mind-melding does that to ya.
