Hmm, sounds like a good reason not to get that DLC. (I suppose one could just not use the gun....)

Honestly, playing as an infiltrator or an adept trivializes the game as well.
Just play adepts like you play them on gold and span warp-throw biotic explosions. you will never need to upgrade a gun ever.
As for infiltrators.....ignoring the fact the BW is horrible in comparison to the multiplayer variant, it will still tear through anything in the game.
.....
Now that I think about it, i think the only class that is difficult is the vanguard. the game's insanity in comparison to Mass Effect 2's is a [censored] joke. Don't even get me started on when i jumped into an Atlus for the 1st time and I felt like god of the ants.

Edit: Also - seriously how are people having difficulty getting war assets?
My EMS - 5875 - 1575 (multiplayer promotion bonus)= still more than what people are complaining that all they can get.
Even taking away the WHOLE 835 EMS bonus I receive from curing the Genophage, I'm still sitting on 3,447.

Heh. I don't play on Gold. Best I've managed on Silver is 5-6 rounds.

My main throughout the three games was an Infiltrator, Normal diff. Did pretty well in ME3 with the regular Widow w/slowdown mod. Not too bad, but there were fights that I had to do multiple times...

Spoiler

like the brute/banshee swarm during the finale.

I'm not really God's gift to gaming, honestly.

I don't know how anyone can say the soldier is bad in SP.
I'm not even using the particle rifle!

But, does anyone know how to unlock marksman?
The wiki is just vague.

The easiest way is to use the asari adept, max warp and throw out, geared towards speed detonations. then if your the only player with warp in the lobby, proceed to use nothing but warp then throw on EVERYTHING, and watch with pity that it even it works on upper powered enemies. If theres another adept, or for that matter anything that can use warp (hopefully you are communicating with them) have them spam nothing but warp on targets, with you following with throw, or vice-versa. The 2 of you will be on the top of the leaderboards every game (not exaggerating).

You don't need to be god's gift to gaming to spam LB,RB, LB, RB....etc. I myself am not god's gift either (if i was I'd be 360-no scoping common-class troopers across maps and scoring headshots everytime, while I threw Sticky Grenades that always hit Banshees right between the eyes.).

Continue (literally) dialogue with Ashley. I just unlocked Carnage myself when

Spoiler

Vega came up to talk with me in my room.

[Eileen Collinson]

Which was a serious mistake.



I've generally seen that called a problem, too. Movies ruined by "executive interference" & marketing/focus groups.


As I've mentioned before, I dislike the ending. But I don't like the idea of them changing it. The things I dislike about it won't be fixed by minor changes, and major changes aren't reasonable. Plus, the initial experience has already happened. No way to salvage that.
(Changing it means one of two things. Either they planned it, and are money-grubbing scum, trolling their customers. Or they didn't plan it, and are setting/supporting a bad precedent by caving to a vocal group of internet rioters. Personal opinion, of course.)

Its not changing if they were planning on making it cut-off DLC anyway.

Is their a certain conversation you have to do?
I've talked to her every chance I got and only recived the Inferno grenade.
I've also romanced her if that counts for anything.

[Avril Louise]

Hm, so I haven't gotten my Commendation pack for last weekend's event yet, but I got two victory packs somehow. Anyone else had this?

EDIT: And it just happened again. I'm not opening the third one until I know what the hell's going on. It'd probably be considered an exploit even though I have no idea what's causing it.

Oh, yeah, my Asari adept is all about Warp/Throw/Explosion spam. Of course, I don't get the explosions off that often, since people tend to shoot the warped guys before my powers cool down. Ah, well.

It's a lot easier if you go in with just a pistol. If you can keep the cooldown bonus to about +150% or above, it'll really help.

[GPMG]

Opened both victory and commendation packs and got only 1 N7 Eagle and a truckload of meaningless supply items.
What a [censored] waste of time.

[Noraima Vega]

I just got my Commendation pack as well. I ended up with the Crusader. I'll post my opinions on it once I've had the chance to test it for myself.

Yeah, I keep it at 200%, with a Predator X. Still around a 2+ second cooldown on warp. Throw's only around 1.3, though. Lots of fun.

It's more of a semi-automatic rifle than a shotgun. Which is good, especially in single player. Not many shotguns allow you to snipe Cerberus shield dudes.

[Eve(G)]

I have to say... the Rachni Queen has awesome voice acting.

[Antony Holdsworth]

Premium Spectre Pack?!

I don't know how far into conversation for sure you need to get. i know each character has different stages of dialogue in which their abilities will all eventually unlock. All I can suggest is to talk to her every chance you get.

LOL you think that's bad? I got Eagle II out of mine. Is it too much to ask for the [censored] Valiant?!?

Premium Spectre Pack?!

At a steep 99,000 price tag per, I would expect nothing less.....except by not giving me the [censored] Hornet and Saber!!!!!

[Robyn Lena]

I really want to play Mass effect 3,but I'm not touching it until they address the narrative problems in relation to the ending(if you can call them that).I still can't believe how poor a company Bioware has become of late.The Prothean Day 1 DLC is also the most corrupt,unethical DLC I have ever heard about.

[Heather Kush]

Under Premium Spectre Pack it says there's a chance for ultra rares. How about regular Spectre packs?

I just got the M6-Carnifex...very nice pistol! Stronger then I anticipated.

It's not that much of a higher chance, really. The only real difference is the fact that since you have two guaranteed rares from each one, you have two shots at an ultra rare per pack.

[Vera Maslar]

So everyone's Victory pack was just supplies?


..the Premium pack seems worth it. 2 rares (the only reason I buy Spectre packs) for a bit more than 1.5x price. (The one I've gotten so far had 2 rare, 2 uncommon, 1 supply card.)

Try Street Fighter X Tekken. DLC Characters (10+) are on the disc already, the vita version has them all free and unlocked, while the PS3 users have to pay for them a 2nd time. Notice I didn't mention the 360? That's because my good sir, they aren't getting any of that. Ever.

[JaNnatul Naimah]

Finished Lair of the Shadow Broker for the second time in my life... And damn it was awesome, especially with Liara romanced. Too bad it had so many Paragon interrupts though and I missed some of them last time.


Easily better than most of the other game, not that they are bad in any way. One of the best DLC I've wasted money on.

Was easier as an Infiltrator too. Widow rifle did short work of Mr. Broker with cloaked headshots.

Couldn't agree more, both of those issues though aren't my biggest problem with Mass Effect 3 although they are in my top 5. The Shepard Autodialoge 90% of the time has to be the worst, kills any point of roleplaying a Paragon or Renegade character because both will be the same outside of the big choices that you will make in the game but even that is undone by the horrible ending. You could wait until it's dirt cheap, I've been thinking about doing that after I traded in Mass Effect 3 although the autodialoge will be an issue.

That's nonsense. I found it much better that dialogue does not affect reputation, like in ME2 where you had to be a total ass to everyone to stay Renegade (which is wrong, since I am a "whatever it takes" renegade than "in your face" renegade). ME3 reputation comes from the multi-choice endings in virtually every quest (even the small ones, like cutting life support for that Batarian spy).
I didn't notice any autodialogue. While it did feel forced to have so much PTSD on my Shepard, and it was very annoying that my Butcher of Torfan cried over one child casualty, it was just one minor detail in a big cake. Later I justified it as something having snapped in my Shepard's head and became a total Renegade, shooting a lot of people who got in my way companions or their loved ones.

Most of the renegade / paragon dialogue is the same in ME3 with just a few minor tweaks. And, in my opinion, the renegade dialogue isn't very renegade. If there was still a neutral option to compare renegade and paragon with the developers would have been able to develop more of a difference.
