With our special guest star, RUSH! YAYYYYYYYYY

Huh, so apparently if you don't romance anyone in ME1, the Virmire survivor appears during ME2's intro. The scene was pretty clearly written, voice acted and animated with the idea that you'll be interacting with your love interest, so that was a bit of an awkward moment between my manshep and Kaidan.

Actually, Kaidan being alive in the first place is a bit jarring.

edit: Also, manshep has the best/worst facial expressions. He looks normal most of the time, but then he smiles and everything goes horribly wrong.

I think that emoticon is based on a face made by femshep at one point.

Lots of folks are complaining about the facial animation in the latest ME: Andromeda footage, but at least it's not this.

You can really mess with the evil aura with the save editor in ME3 but there are limits to how much the glow will show up.

That said you can make your glowing scars chartreuse if you really wanted to. It has basically zero sanity checking.

Evil in Jade Empire was even worse since you could just enslave the bad guy's henchman and then enslave the people who thought it was wrong to do that.

The Drink
That's up to you

The Drinking Game
There is a video, drink while it's playing

The Episode
Just checking in with a few people and turning in some sidequests. Along the way Shep plays matchmaker to an unlikely couple. We help Liara haxx0r some more poo poo and get her secretary fired with extreme prejudice. At least she doesn't have to pay unemployment.

Think I'll do LotSB next to break up some of the loyalty missions we've been doing. It's a fairly long DLC so expect it to take 2-3 updates. Who do y'all wanna take along to the first part?

There is a slight change to dialogue if you do it prior to finishing the main story. I usually do LotSB prior to the final mission and save Overlord and Arrival until afterwards, but that's just personal preference (also I like taking a future squadmate on Overlord).

What happens if you tell Liara to kill one of the other agents? Can you tell her to kill all of them? Does she get killed and you fail?

Liara has plot armor more durable than the Normandy's, you can only possibly kill her at the end of 3, and then only under very specific circumstances that require you going out of your way. I'll see if I can find a video of loving up somewhere.

That's only if you have low EMS. Of course, pre-Extended Cut most of your party members may as well be dead regardless of your EMS because you don't see much of them after that point. :v:

I've tried to block it out, but I think pre-EC there's just the beam and you don't explicitly know what happened to your teammates. Then they show up at the end so... :shrug:

e: that was one of the complaints about the original and the Normandy landing to pick them up was added in EC
