Scored a Drell Adept on my first Spectre pack, currently running around with a pistol and pull/reave on 1/2 second cool downs. Plenty of assists to be had tossing around an AOE DOT

Finished the game, some thoughts in no particular order: -The soundtrack is incredible, even without Jack Wall. Getting Clint Mansell signed on, even just for two tracks, was a godsend, and the Leaving Earth sequence kills it every time. Hulik et al do a good job imitating Mansell's melancholic piano stings. -I noticed early on a bunch of people complaining about Cerberus turrets, but going Infiltrator or Engineer makes them a joke since you can sabotage them repeatedly. Actually, going Infiltrator makes most of the game a joke. -After the shitfest that was ME2's relationship trees, it's really refreshing to have relationship dialogue that isn't total bullshit. All of a sudden these characters remembered how to deal with problems like adults, which was nice. -I can't figure out which sniper rifle is more ludicrously overpowered, the Javelin or the Black Widow. The BW has it beat in raw damage output, but the Javelin can see through walls/smoke without mods, and it mutters at you in the Geth language every time you use it. -Mordin  -I think it is a huge testament to both how good the general thematic writing is in the trilogy and just how lovely the ending is that when presented with three equally idiotic choices by babby's first 2001, I did not hesitate in turning right the gently caress around and walking straight into an invisible wall because I thought a fourth "gently caress your arbitrary nonsensical bullshit, the galaxy can deal just fine without you" ending would've been completely logically consistent within the narrative framework the three games had spent so much time painstakingly setting up. No, I don't care what color the explosion is at the end, what is this amateur hour horseshit.

So is it ever explained where Cerberus got all those troops? Video game conventions notwithstanding, wasn't it a point in ME2 that they weren't a military outfit and more of an Illuminatiesque group?

They were luring refugees to Sanctuary, then... huskifying them. I think the Codex states that they grew vastly in power between ME1 and ME3, probably thanks to Shepard's help.

I love how crew members actually move around and interact in ME3. I'm playing a renegade femshep this run and told the chief engineer "he owed me" for not helping in ME2. I just walked in on him and Dr. Chakwas having a conversation where he was apologizing for failing the rest of the crew and failing everyone on the memorial wall  edit: does anyone else occasionally get stuck in the Normandy cockpit? If I step towards the side, I end up not being able to move at all.

Figured this was the best place to ask. I'm looking for the piece of music that plays at the end of the first Earth segment, where you're killing cannibals and waiting for the Normandy to show up. I think it's in a few other "epic battle" parts of the game too. I don't have the soundtrack or anything so does anybody know the name of this particular piece? I'd very much appreciate it.

I remember that if you don't do Grissom Academy, you eventually come across a Nemesis named Jack, and something tells me she wouldn't work for Cerberus willingly. Plus with Sanctuary existing, it seems that they pulled people, partially huskified them, and then let them loose. e:f,b

No, they were always primarily a cell-based paramilitary group with a lot of questionable research projects on the side, funded by wealthy and anonymous human donors. Their numbers do swell dramatically between games, though.

Is there any sense in holding out hope that future DLC will be the wacky after-ending hijinks of the post-ending survivors? I would seriously pay (some) money to shoot burned out buildings into firewood if it meant I had some idea of what happened to basically anybody but Joker and Edi. Like...anything. "Garrus spent his remaining drunken, PTSD-crippled life sitting on top of a shack throwing clay cups into the trees yelling, 'This is not my favorite place in the universe!'" Anything but what I watched. Please?

There's a Paragon earlier than that, but it requires a couple things, plus high Paragon points. Did you not do one of these? And the Koris one, you have to have gotten him back to the fleet, not saved his squad. Deviantfish posted:According the bioware forums (yeah, I know), the ability to broker peace is based on a point system. I've got five, according to the tally from the forums/strategy guide (did Tali's loyalty in ME2, stopped her/Legion's fight in ME2, did Rannock: Geth Fighter Squadrons as well as Rannoch: Admiral Koris).

Yeah, Cerberus's funding was pretty well covered by previous games. So now couple that with whatever indoctrination/husk tech they've cobbled together and you have a group that can turn its own non-essential personnel into shock troops, but then stage mass-abductions and turn other colonists into troops as well. Couple that with the late-game reveal, and you get a nice private army overnight since you don't need to waste time training the new recruits.

They're going to be trying to suck as much DLC money out of the consumer as physically possible and at some point either post-ending stuff or a Broken Steel style ending extension/rewrite seem almost inevitable.

If possible, choose to save the admiral. The outcome of Rannoch is based on several points in ME2 and ME3; if you do enough of them correctly, then a lasting peace is possible by following these instructions: allow Legion to begin the upload, then pass a Paragon check to convince the quarians to stand down.

I have to say, I usually am not that emotionally invested into video games, but I justcouldn't get it over my heart to shoot Mordin. I wanted to avoid curing the Krogans, especially after Wrex told his expansion plans (showing that he wasn't the exception that he was told to be), but I just couldn't kill Mordin. I simply love the character. At least this way, he went out singing.

Does anyone know what that song is that plays from the radio in the Captain's quarters that has the lyrics? It sounded pretty good. I was going through the soundtrack and I think they did a really good job of getting an oppressive, melancholic feel. Some of it is actually kind of depressing/nostalgic to listen to; it gives the game a lot more weight.

In my game, Wrex declares that he's going to rebuild Tuchanka and lead the krogan to a new future, not the same crap they'd been doing all along; sure, he wants several colony worlds, but seeing as how everyone else gets them (except the quarians), that doesn't seem unreasonable.

I simply love the character. If Eve survives the process of developing the cure (which happens if you chose to save Maelon's data), then she acts as a moderating influence on whoever the krogan chieftain is. Later on, there are lines from Wrex or Wreav that indicate just how seriously they're planning to take this whole "allies" thing.

Just beat the game after a ridiculous marathon session. If you take the game right up to the point where you play ending whack-a-mole, I think the game is fantastic. The main story missions were far more exciting then anything from the previous games, and having varied enemy types kept the combat interesting. The story actually made me feel a little bit for the characters near the end. Despite the reaper explination being pretty obvious, I thought it still worked. But god drat, it just falls apart after that. Everything you did in the whole series just doesn't matter. It's like they couldn't figure out a way to really tie the series together and just threw poo poo together. I didn't actually believe it could be that bad because the buildup from all of ME3 was great. Then it all doesn't loving matter and you get forcefed the worst deus ex ending. Then there's the loving post credits bit which is like salt in the wound. I will say the music was top notch. Crustashio fucked around with this message at 04:33 on Mar 13, 2012 |
