GenericOverusedName posted:Your mario is extremely faded out and in need of a touchup. Additionally your tattoo man didn't finish all the color in the center of your enormous nerdy game tattoo. The Mario one is from around 2007 I think. As for the color, he likes to use the skin color as an actual color. I like the way my skin basically serves as the white.

Shut uppa you faces. I still can't believe how much people are willing to discuss the ending again and again. Spikeguy I am glad you got a tattoo you like and are proud of. There's too much black for my tastes, but I've always liked the spectre logo.

I've been making some progress on my second playthrough with a Renegade Vanguard FemShep this time, romancing Thane and going for the Control ending. So far, I'm about halfway through Mass Effect 2, only need to get Samara and Tali and do their respective loyalty quests. With all the extra content from the DLCs, the game is absolutely massive, and I'm having a great time playing through the series again, it's holding up reasonably well. I've chosen to go through each DLC after a specific plot point(Overlord after Horizon, Shadow Broker after the Collector's ship, Arrival after the suicide mission), and it's nice to have a little side story after each big plot point. It gives the game a serialized TV show-vibe. All in all, it's still an incredible game, likely my favorite in the series. One thing that I'm really looking forward is to see how well ME3 will hold up with the Extended Ending, Leviathan and Citadel DLC. In my opinion, these three managed to salvage the ending into something on the same level as, say, Lost's and BSG's ending. Not perfect, but it's an ending. I'm planning on weaving the Leviathan content throughout the other content to build up the Intelligence. I'm a bit uncertain on whether I should try to do the Citadel content throughout the playthrough, or just do all that content post-ending as a proper send-off, anyone got any thoughts on that?

Do Citadel after you complete the game. Tonally and emotionally it's a post-script and should be played after the ending with the understanding that it takes place vaguely sometime before it.

This, and when you do Citadel part of it is receiving emails from lots of people from throughout the series who want to hang out. New ones appear after missions but a round in the Combat Arena in Citadel counts as a mission, so do a round and you'll come out to more emails. No need to worry about having to leave sidequests to get more content.

Fag Boy Jim posted:I'll agree with the people who say that it's thrilling in MP, because there's actually an element of risk involved, but just spamming the same two/three powers over and over is like, the same poo poo that pisses me off in Mass Effect 1. I don't see how ME1 could be worse for spamming than the other two games, if only because each power had its own cooldown so you had an incentive to invest and use multiple. ME3 married the worst elements in that regard; shared cooldowns allowing you to use the same power over and over, and no layers of protection, so that single move of choice would always be effective. Also warpsplosions triggering off any combo of two biotic moves rather than specific ones. Like, you could ignore Charge-Nova as a vanguard, but it's always the most effective option when you can use it, and you can always use it.

A Thane romance and either the Synthesis or the Control ending have always worked for me thematically. I think I'm going to do a run with that.

I recently tried playing through this game again (after doing playthroughs with all the classes, not sure about Soldier but I vaguely remember Adrenaline Rush not being as useful as I thought it would be.) I gave up right before Priority: Tuchanka - i.e. during one of the better parts of the game. I just couldn't do it.

I gave up right before Priority: Tuchanka - i.e. during one of the better parts of the game. I just couldn't do it. I dunno, I think Adrenaline Rush is more useful than ever in ME3. The weapon weight cooldown system means that you can have a 200% bonus to charge time reduction, and the final level of it lets you use a power while the ability is active. Which means, if I'm not mistaken, you can pop on adrenaline rush, prime an enemy with an ammo power, detonate them with concussive blast (or any bonus power you'd prefer to pick), and then continue to murder until the power wears off. Then you just wait two seconds and do it again. I haven't played soldier since I've learned how tech bursts work, but based on my understanding of it I'm pretty sure that would work. I've been meaning to do another run of the game to try it out but can't be bothered lately for some reason.

There was a Sentinel build mentioned on the Bioware forums a while ago that I tried; you gave up most of your powers and said "oh well  " to cooldowns, in exchange for being a walking tank with 70% damage reduction that could also carry a full load-out onto the battlefield, with the occasional throw to set off a biotic explosion.Found it: http://social.bioware.com/social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/347/index/10782581/1 Pretty fun build. monster on a stick fucked around with this message at 16:08 on Jul 17, 2013 |

Alright so I'll only be playing ME3 for the first time here soon and I noticed this in the OP. "There is a bug for players with Kaidan in their party where Gabby/Ken (the engineers), Javik, and Tali will not say a lot of their lines. (In fact Gabby/Ken get almost no lines in Kaidan playthroughs because of this bug.) Go here, the awesome Banjodark posted some instructions on how to fix it!" Is this still accurate? It is kind of from a while ago, and I was hoping it might have since been patched.

If you are going to stick tits on a robot (which will always be stupid) can't you at least make them not low-mounted pendulous bananas? I liked the armored version, she looked much less ridiculous.
