Incorrect. The next ME game should have a Krogan protagonist.
There's a dedicated 'headbutt' button. Which is not disabled during conversations.

So I did the Contagion sidequest and there's some real disconnect with the starting and latter halves, because the Nexus parts make it seem like you're about an hour or two behind her (especially with the mechanic that got KO'ed to steal the shuttle) but when you actually track her down it's like several weeks have passed since the crash and her being taken by a Roekkar cell to be experimented on in "hundreds of tests". You could argue travel time, except she escaped in a standard shuttle and you're in a top-of-the-line scout ship faster than anything else.

Also I chose to let the cell leader shoot her and capped him with a shotgun to the face. Quarantine must be enforced :commissar:.

It's not space racist if it's true. The Krogan really are all bloodthirsty. The Volus really are all greedy and shady merchants. The Hanar really are all big stupid jellyfish.

If I never played multiplayer and wanna do an apex mission with randos, will it be nbd to start off with silver, or should I stick to bronze? Never looked at my multiplayer guys or anything.

this will probably already have been dealt with by the time you read this, but everyone should do the super fast/easy tutorial mission for MP, and then also you should try to complete the steps in the "tutorial" category in your achievements or whatever they're called. You get credits for every step, or at least most of them, and it's a really nice boost compared to starting out in ME3 MP and just grinding out waves as a lowly douchebag and hoping to complete an objective wave

Only because people don't give them a chance to be anything else. They've completely changed their clan structure. It might be different this time!

e:^You give it to Morda, because then the Krogan have a stake in keeping the whole system from loving up and being blamed on them. If it's another krogan Morda will just keep doing whatever the gently caress she wants and ignore the role.

They are biologically incapable of not being war like. Before the genophage the only way they kept their populations in check was through constant warfare. It's just how they've evolved. Who didn't give them a chance when they nuked their own planet? I'm sorry but might be different isn't worth the risk.

Krogan males will also do some insanely stupid poo poo to try and woo a Krogan female, not including the poetry. This generally ends terminally, sometimes at the hands of said Krogan female. It generally balances itself out on the whole.

It might not be a new codex and just an addendum to an existing one.

I'm pretty sure accelerating a 6WD exploration vehicle into people and wildlife is unbecoming of a Pathfinder. As is yelling "SPEED BUMP" when you drive through a pack of raiders who just jumped out of their dropship.

Build talk. I've been running adept in my new game+ on insanity with throw, charge and Nova and an asari sword. All my skills are evolved for recharge rate, shield damage and force where available. With the fusion mod that halves skill cooldowns I can cycle these three skills almost endlessly with a few melees thrown in. Charge, Nova and asari sword all have tons of iframes so I take almost zero damage, charge has a two second cooldown so I pinball everywhere and everything explodes.
Adepts are not underpowered. :colbert:

(I have an infiltrator profile for bosses and big enemies)


Oh an for that guy earlier who commented on every vendor being empty: if you play new game+ and are between level 61 and 71 there's​ no loot to be had. It's by far the most frustrating bug I've encountered.

I score this game 0/10 subjetive-points.

Because in 30 or 40 hours playing it (maybe 60 hours?) I have failed to find a proper partner, alien or not.

Coke or Cake or whatever is called the human lady with weird hair (Cora?). I don't like her, she is not feminine enough.

This pilot is sexy and has big boobs. Suvi I think is the name. But she is into some weird religious poo poo. Don't stick the dick in crazy, they say.

The assair doctor don't play ball. Lexi I think is the name.

Peebee is too goofy. Like the daughter of a character from Sesamo Street. I talked to her long, to see if something clicks, but she is not very fun after all, or smart.

This is a failed game. Sad.

Why are people so enthusiastic about the Asari sword? When I tried to use it I found the blink kept putting me places I didn't want to be or made me miss. The kett sword with fire damage is way more powerful.

I found all the long melee animation weapons pretty annoying too. Spammable ones like the biotic amp felt a lot more powerful on insanity.

I did use the kett one that heals you at the start as a vanguard, that was pretty good, but took way too long to hit.

You're over-correcting with the sword, try using it like a shotgun; aim from a short distance away instead of point-blank.

the kett one that heals you lets you spam the poo poo out of nova because if they ever get your health low, its trivial to chop it back to full in two swings

Yeah but I only really bother with melee when I'm playing a charging vanguard so the thing I'd want to hit is always up in my face.

I don't know that the Kett sword I'm talking about heals but it does a lot of fire damage over time. It's also got a quick animation.

Are weapon augments only active if you have the weapon out? Or as long as you're carrying it with you? Stuff like ability cool down buffs, I'm not sure how useful the other things could be.

I don't think anyone knows the answer to that. I'm not even convinced that the cooldown/damage augments work at all.
