I've been sitting here for 5 mins trying to think of a joke to make but I just realised the animators of Mass Effect already did it for me

I think you can flag everything you want to sell and then hit a sell confirm button. But I did not use shops and the like much because at the start you can afford nothing.

Can anyone confirm if loot is random, from a leveled list, or hand placed?

Flavour.

The better way of doing it is to just convert it when you pick it up.

Loot dropped by generic enemies is random and I suspect most chests are too, but I'm sure there will be some hand-placed loot on bosses and whatnot.

Combos are definitely not working. Stuff explicitly listed as primer/detonator is not making explosions.

Mainly random loot tables based on what you've researched and the level of the area you're in with some hand placed stuff. Like DAI except with an added research element.

I was able to do combos in multi, so are you sure? Maybe it's like the vanguard bug and it just start to fail after a while?

I hope if the latter is true that sort of gear will be better than crafted stuff.

I did notice I had trouble triggering my own combos in MP the way you can in SP, I just assumed they took that out to encourage teamwork. Maybe it's a bug?

Edit: While on the topic, for anyone who enjoys Charge in SP: Pull + Charge = Biotic Volleyball Spike and it is awesome, it oneshots any red-health enemy.

I'm getting it in Singleplayer. Combos worked for the first day or so, but now they don't.

I was able to do combos in SP yesterday (Incinerate > overload specifically). Haven't tried tonight, I've not been in a fight yet.

Also I think I hate gil. He's lite monkeycheese, which is too much for me. Maybe he gets better.

If they weren't lying about some vendors not caring about your "dang fancee credit thangs" then I don't think it's flavour.

Based on previous Mass Effects, things that are legit broken aren't getting fixed for like 2 DLCs.

Are these the vendors we can murder for their inventory because I'm not sure I'm down for an easter egg hunt in Andromeda.

Hey, anyone know where the local save files are? I see a /User/Documents/BioWare folder that's got a Save directory in it with some profile-related files, but that's all I can find and I don't think that's it. I signed into my wife's Origin account to squeeze 10 more free hours in, but I want to make it use my save files instead of new ones.

I was surprised at how short Drack is. I expected like a 7' tall monster instead of a 6' tall monster. I guess he is 7' considering krogan faces are low relative to their actual height, but still.

thank you for all your advice, thead. i went out and bought the game based on experiences here.

one question: if i haven't played 1 or 2, will that adversely affect the playthrough of this game, sort of how the 'default' state for wrex in 2 is dead if you didn't play 1?

anyway keen to start The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt! it came with all the DLC, too.

Nope. None of the decisions from the previous Mass Effect games matter. There is no save import. Default game is the same for everyone.

Nope, there's only one choice relating to the previous ME games and it's whether Shepard was a man or woman.

Witcher 3 "technically" has an import state but the effects are so minor that I never even noticed them.

ME2 couldn't remove the best krogan, because it introduced the best krogan

That is where the save files are. They're named like 'Career' then some numbers and letter gibberish then '-0ManualSave' or whatever. I mean I'm assuming those are the saves since it says save but I paid 10 extra dollars on this video game to get a pyjak so I might be really dumb!!
