To be honest I like this kill organics to save organics idea more than the original dark matter plot from the leaked script.It just fits Sovereign's "you can't understand our purpose" thing much better.

 Holy assballs Wrex found out about the deal I made with the dalatrass, intercepted me on the Citadel, and had a raging shootout with me and C-Sec in the middle of the docking bay, ending with his death. I did not see that coming at all. Nothing in my Paragon playthrough prepared me for that.

Oh god the trilogy is over.  I feel so depressed, I absolutely loved the game but anyone else feels the same way? I can't wait for the DLCs, I hope they'll add a new character. Demiurge4 posted:But Sovereign and Harbinger spend the first two games telling Shephard he can't understand their purpose. And then the reapers explain their purpose. That's because back then the Reapers didn't know this cycle was ready to know.And it's pretty hard to accept anyway. The Crucible being finished and Shepard getting at the top of it is proof they can go beyond Reaping the galaxy. . Kurtofan fucked around with this message at 12:53 on Mar 14, 2012 |

I loving hate that stupid loving Geth mission with legion where you shoot those virus nodes. Talk about wasting time for no goddamn reason. Was I doing something wrong or does it really take five or six reloads of that stupid loving gun to kill one edge of those memory things. It serves absolutely no goddamn purpose other than to waste time. Apart from that I'm really enjoying this so far, still have a bunch to do. Even though the game hosed up and Kelly never appeared for me, and yeah I checked a lot before when she is supposed to appear and yes she survived in my ME2 game.

So I got DIRECTLY hit by the reapers laser on Tuchanka, I thought it was scripted to not hit you but i'm 100% sure it hit me because I was looking up at it and saw the laser shoot and land directly on me and everything. It barely broke my shields. Reapers are bitches.

^^^^^ You can get hit by the claws a little later, and those definitely one-shot you.Bongo Bill posted:'Cause that's about as Renegade as it gets. However, at the end of the Tuchanka mission I revealed the intrigue to Mordin and I had what is now officially my favourite scene in the entire goddamn series: Shepard: Every time we've talked about this before you've defended the genophage! How can you change your mind now? Mordin: I MADE A MISTAKE! Mordin: I made a mistake... focused on big picture. Big picture made of little pictures. Too many variables. Mordin: Can't hide behind statistics. Can't ignore new data. My responsibility. That "I MADE A MISTAKE!" was such an absolutely perfect delivery, it completely floored me. I subsequently hit the top-left option with barely a conscious thought. e: I can't find a Youtube copy, there's a million ME3 streamers but it seems everyone does pure paragon or pure renegade only. I might have to record that myself. NihilCredo fucked around with this message at 13:27 on Mar 14, 2012 |

Oh... oh my god. That first one is appalling.  And the change in Mordin in the second one... chilling. Still kind of mad at Bioware for not letting the original VA come back and be Mordin, it was probably financial but it just seems like kind of a dick thing to do.

Creepy Goat posted:Oh god I just saw the Wrex follow-up afterwards, what kind of monster would do that Yes, in the worst of circumstances, it requires you to betray and kill one friend, and second-guess and murder another. Which is why I couldn't see my Shepard doing it, even with all the tough decisions and sacrifices she had already made. But a different one could have made that choice and have reasons far from monstrous.

I hate how these binary reputation systems drive you to going all one way or another for the maximum bonus rather than just making decisions that would make. I've done this continuous save as a renegade since I did light side in KOTOR. Just finished Tuchanka and it was the most ever

Finally got some time away from the woman last night to sit down and start ME3 and loving it. I played ME2 to death (like 280 hours according to Steam), so this was a long time coming. A couple questions though: 1. Adrenaline Rush - I specced this for as short a recharge time as possible but it's NEVER up it seems. I know the CD is triggered by other powers but that's the only one I use and there's been a few times where it's been far more than the 8sec CD but it's just started the CD or something. Is the CD triggered by other actions like melee or something? Squadmate powers? I'm not switching ammo powers or using MedPacks either. 2. Is there actually any point to the Firing Range in the Citadel other than testing your weapon damage? Any kind of scoring or minigame? 3. Spoiler here: Is it possible to take down that Dr. Eve or whatever her name is in the Mars place when you're chasing her all over the place? And thus, save Ashley from getting her poo poo ruined? She had Shields but I couldn't get through them and it was really tough to even get a solid shot off

I watched the (more Mordin spoilers) "how to save Mordin" video, and man, it's loving awesome that a decision that goes back to the first game effects something so major (a big character living/dying) in the 3rd game. If only they did so well with the ending.

I don't get how the fortification power that James has works. Recharge Speed: 10 sec Damage Reduction: 15% Melee Damage Bonus: 50% Melee Damage Duration: 20 sec How long does the damage reduction last? As long as the damage duration? Why is the recharge speed 10 seconds when the power last 20? Might as well be 20 seconds since you can keep it up forever. I assume I'm missing something. Also how do I get James to do melee attack, so that he uses this power?

SiliconX posted:2. Is there actually any point to the Firing Range in the Citadel other than testing your weapon damage? Any kind of scoring or minigame? My only complaint is that the targets are a bit too weak, so the more powerful sniper rifles and shotguns just one-shot everything and you can't properly evaluate the damage. Oh, and it would have been nice to have a purchase interface in there, but I guess it would have made the actual market areas seem redundant. At least the range is right next to the Spectre purchasing terminal, so you can quickly test the super-expensive Spectre weapons and reload if you decide they don't fit your style.

I've done this continuous save as a renegade since I did light side in KOTOR. It's that way in ME1 and 2, but doesn't quite work that way in 3. Not only are the Renegade choices mostly the same result in 3, it also let's you choose blue options as long as your rep is high enough in general.
