Mass Effect Thread #61

I've just noticed that bioware stuck to their lore on quarians, who seem to be the second toughest race.
My engineer is now 20! But no quarian infiltraitor. :(

I have time to play multiplayer on teusdays and thrusdays, I'll let you know next week. I was waiting until I got to just before the last single player mission so I could get the best ending. My EMS is stuck around 3500 <_<

Make them loyal, pick most undesirable dudes for undesirable missions, keep Miri and Jacob with you at all times. Grunt into the ducts, Mordin to lead fire squad, Legion for distraction team (or whatever the second AI team is called)..
.They should fall one by one if you carefully manage them.

The only two I feel bad about are Tali and Garrus, might have to spare them too...

they only way shep lives and the good ending
Spoiler
is if you chose to kill the reapers and keep TIM from killing anderson [ you need effective miltary strength over 4000].. if you get EMS over 5000 then Anderson can die.. but no matter the reapers must die.. understand thats what sheps mission always was.. nowthat 'child' was trying to influence/indoctrinate shep to keep the reapers alive

I'll have to agree with this though.

That will be a little problematic. I already had my butt bitten once.
With the choices I made in ME2 its coming in futurition for the good and bad.

I think it's mostly a bit of a stretch, but the mako wheels thing does intrigue me.

I hardly see how that looks like the Mako. Just because it has round, wheel-like things doesn't make it look like the Mako. Especially since the Mako has only six wheels. And other stuff can be explained as reusing resources. Seems contrived.

Not any more contrived than the actual ending, but hey.

Well I finally finished and admit I wasn't so totally disappointed as I thought I would be. I think it's in large part because I'd read so much about it. But plot holes aside....it wasn't as totally depressing as I thought it would be. Obviously I cried...but I'm a giant wuss... :blush:

The one weird question I do have is about
Spoiler
the epilogue. People keep referring to the old man as Joker but where's the evidence for that? The subtitles just say 'stargazer'... Am I missing something...?

Heh. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxqW0Clok7U. Would be funny if this were the actual ending music of ME3.

Caution: Video contains ME2 ending spoilers.

The ending is also an example of a http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AWinnerIsYou Know your tropes children! Seriously after all that game we get a simple dumb text pop up telling us to look forward to DLC. :cryvaultboy: Drink your ovaltine to those who get the reference.

Hm, apparently some of the people who downloaded the Datapad app have had some strange post-ending messages. http://www.examiner.com/video-game-in-honolulu/mass-effect-3-new-ending-the-works (spoilers, obviously)

Developer oversight, or tease at a new ending?

So now I've gotten disconnected from a MP game twice.

Out of lots of games, so that's a pretty good record.....

....both times, in the 11th wave of a really good game. Where I used two of my (constantly out-of-stock) missiles. :wallbash:

So I must know, Is there any way I can have everyone loyal before the suicide mission and somehow keep Kelly alive?

Edit:

I think an end of game DLC/Expansion is pretty likely, regardless of whether they allude to it. EA like money + demand for better ending is huge = easy profit.

Do all the loyalty missions before getting the IFF, then activate Legion, do his mission, then do the suicide mission.

I'll do some with you next week. I have stopped my current ME 3 playthrough just before the cereberus base so I can fill up the readiness and finish the game all in one sitting. I'm free on teusdays and thursdays

Thank freaking god. I don't want DLC. I want an actual expansion level of content to explain all of the crap that needs to be explained.
