Mass Effect 3 (expect spoilers for the entire series)

[Agent D.]

cleared the 1st game. now i dont know how to convert my save lol. maybe a patch js required but my internet has been down since saturday. *shakez fist at cox*

Just start the second game, it'll ask if you have save data from ME1 and then look for it.

[Alisha]

i did and it didnt ask ps3 version requires a patch.

[Alisha]

i didnt think i'd care but having my fem shep engage lesbian relations with traynor was strangely satisfying. on another note my fem shep face was butchered from ME 2->3. ashley let herself go and im back to super butch ME 1 look. also...bioware refuses to make a pure melee class yet makes me fight cerberus ninja's? wat?

for comparison.



since im late to the party when's the best time to do the various dlc missions?

[Alisha]

finished ME 3 last night. so it took me from dec 14 - jan 6 to complete all 3 games. it was a fun ride and i still need to do leviathan and omega. i didnt think the ending was that bad however i came pretty close to crying when traynor was putting sheppard's name on the memorial. so obviously i chose destroy. i heard you can have sheppard live but id have to do multiplayer to raise readyness. my war assests were at 5098 with 50% readyness. i do wish the game had a better epilougue though. i wanna know what became of the characters? also i dont understand why the pulse wrecked the normandy but not the alliance ships. did the pulse destroy the geth?

[kyuusei]

The pulse wrecked the Normandy because it went through a mass relay just before all the relays exploded. The other ships didn't - they stayed around Earth to fight.

If you picked Destroy the pulse should have destroyed the geth and EDI.

I believe that's only in the original ending. In the modified ending, everyone ran away and I believe the Normandy is the last to retreat. Whether the others got damaged is never really addressed.

Quick question for DLC on the PS3 Trilogy-

When I want to buy add ons for ME 2 and 3 do I just go to their individual sections on the PSN (for the original games), is there going to be a specific section for the Trilogy instead (since GotY-style editions sometimes create their own DLC pools from the original), or is there a 'DLC' option from the game's main menu itself?

Just curious since I'm thinking of picking it up this afternoon.

[kyuusei]

ME2 in the PS3 version of the trilogy is the same as the standalone version that came out two years ago. That is, it comes with all the DLC EXCEPT Arrival. That should be the only DLC you need to purchase. (Three of them are on-disc, and the Cerberus Network comes in the form of a code packaged in.)

ME3's trilogy version doesn't come with any DLC whatsoever, so you can just buy whatever DLC you're interested in. I wasn't a fan of From Ashes from a $10-pricetag standpoint. :P

[Alisha]

ME 2 also doesnt come with the weapon and costume packs.
played leviathan and MP last night good times. i want to play omega but $15...

[kyuusei]

Yeah, I always forget about weapon and costume packs. Because I never buy them - but yeah, they're not included. Usually they're only a couple bucks per pack anyway.

Omega is cool, but only worth the price of entry if you're really interested in seeing Aria and Omega again. (I really should have played it on a higher difficulty myself.)

[Alisha]

in me2 i bougut the geth shotgun pack for my vanguard. i also bought a shotgun pack in me3 but ended up using that really powerful handgun instead due to the weight system.

[kyuusei]

Vanguards needs little more than pistols and their fists anyway in ME3.

[Alisha]

i never could decide on a decent bonus power for vanguard.

[kyuusei]

Honestly there's not a ton of options that suit her. Reave is a good biotic power if you have access to it, or if you ever end up doing the Omega DLC, Flare is a great one to have. (A bit of a long cool down but worth it)

Edit: By the way, Alisha, I really like how your Shepard turned out.

I would have liked new maps too, but female turians? Geth Juggernaut? I'LL TAKE IT.

Citadel is totally fanservice but I don't care I want it. I'm excited it's all so *soon*.
