i think he created a weaponless adept or engineer build that turned out to be a pretty slick way of playing the game if you wanted a fun challenge run?

you're thinking of magimix (spl?), he still posts and he got in a few more me2 playthroughs before being done with it... iirc, altho he was much more about playing a wide variety of builds and using a broad array of different guns every me2 playthrough (including the odd lvl 1 playthroughs?), he still did the odd renegade run, he just didn't like the outcomes enough to repeat them

Same, I played each game through once as a renegade just to see what it was like and it just never really grabbed me. Maybe I'm just boring?

The ME2 Renegade interrupts are all fun action movie stuff, the ME3 Renegade interrupts are "jesus christ I'm a bad Shepard".

As a general rule, renegade dialogue choices are a crapshoot, renegade interrupts are always worth taking.

real quick:

1. ME3 endings cause Gamers to go completely bonkers
2. A lot of those same Gamers (some of the same youtubers IIRC, like that smudboy guy) go completely bonkers over Gamergate
3. Steve Bannon sees Gamergate as proof that young men online (Gamers) can be radicalized
4. Bannon mobilizes a lot of those young men in the campaign to get Donald Trump elected president

Lots of folks have gotten the console versions early - lots of small issues with lighting or animation bugs but the Day 1 patch is not out yet which may fix them. Otherwise they are looking good.

PC, nobody has it yet as far as I can tell. Could be a mess, could be good.

LOL, I never knew he went on for that long since I always clicked the interrupt about .3 seconds after it showed up.

Lol this is a delayed remaster. Having this out a week early for reviewers should have been the easiest thing in the world to build hype. Not having the games out to reviewers right now is not comforting.

Still planning on getting this day 1. I just don't get why reviewers wouldn't have this to build hype unless there was something wrong.

I remember Vega as the prick who would never stop doing pull-ups and tried to give his commanding officer a pet name. I told him my name was commander Shepherd and his name was Boot. Or something like that. He barely talked to me after.

I like the one where she tries to call out Shepard throwing away ships for the Council, and Shepard counters with the name of every single one and finishes with "and I remember them all."

There's just no helping some people. Wait a few days until it's released and people have at least reviewed the thing to confirm that it won't make your computer explode before you give them your money.

I only played ME3 once, so I never played the extended ending or citadel DLC. What does the extended ending actually add? Wondering if I should play it as normal or go with that mod that simplifies the ending and then has the citadel dlc act as the epilogue.

Never played without the extended ending but I think it added more explanation/context so it wasn't just random beams of light, credits roll.

For what it's wroth, having only ever played with the extended ending I always thought the ending was "fine". Not great, not terrible.

If you're at all interested on what a shitshow LE is going to be to mod/port mods to, Mgamerz, the dude who developed most of the currently-used ME modding tools, has been pulling the Legendary Edition files apart with help from the ME Modding Discord community and results have been predictably mixed. Time will tell if BioWare's promise to reach out to and teach key people how to mod Legendary Edition is anything but bullshit because Mgamerz would probably be the #1 person on that list to contact and he hasn't heard poo poo from anyone officially linked to BioWare yet.
