I've been itching to re-start Mass Effect 1. Now that I know what are the right choices I can be more careful in making them. A lot more people will die over the course of the games, though.

Little. The Collectors make appearance in his cutscenes and it turns out the Collectors were the same thing as Husks and Cannibals are to modern species - PoWs and the like just converted to work as infantry. Javik does remark how the Reapers turned the Protheans' own children against them, not that they felt any remorse killing them

Spoiler

Javik will also have a short intercom conversation with Liara about the Collectors, where Liara relays that the Collectors were enemies in ME2 and that Shep's team figured out they used to be Protheans.

I've got another question, if I could bother you kind folks. I chose an infiltrator class for my shepard, but I was wondering if theres any chance at anymore weapon diversity. Is there anyway to use Assault Rifles with effectiveness at some point later in the game?

Which Mass Effect game?

[gary lee]

Mass Effect 1, I keep forgetting to mention that heh.

Well you can use Assault Rifles to a degree later in the game, I had the same problem as a constant Infiltraitor. You can never out-right "train" in them but you can get guns with a high enough base accuracy plus the high-level upgrades that get lavished on you in the high levels to use the rifle effectively at short-mid levels; I ended up getting a fair bit of use out of mine.

I would actually like to ask the same of Mass Effect 3 where I will be playing an Infiltraitor, will I be able to be good with Assault Rifles?

[Nathan Barker]

Humans = retake moment. Unknown aliens = the me3 ending and the horrors it entails. Advent = people who liked the ending.

Advent are all about shields, energy weapons and special abilities. They have the prettiest ships, most advanced technology and magic-like abilities. TEC has civilian ships converted to warships, and the strongest economy that allows them to use brute force, no matter how many ships are lost strategy.

...Yes, that's a fitting comparasion

There are certain slow-firing rifles that with scope could be used effectively, but Infiltrator does need to use abilities a lot, so i rather take a SMG with Ultralight materials. Locust has range and accuracy comparable to an Assault Rifle, but you get it quite late at the game

Also unlike in ME1 there are no weapon skills in 2 and 3, so any class can use any weapon without penalties. However in 2 weapons usable by classes are locked, but you can add a new type after a certain mission. In 3 weight penalties apply.

What about the Prothean Particle Rifle you get from From Ashes? I don't really want to use a sniper rifle, I just want some tech abilities, a pistol and a rifle.

Don't know, i don't have the DLC.

Argus, Valkyrie, Falcon and Sabre are the ones i could see an Infniltrator using. But to me Infiltrator will always mean sniper And the Paladin pistol does pretty much everything a rifle would, Assault Troopers are one-hit kills with it late game (with Cryo Ammo).

That to me is without a doubt the best weapon in the game, for one, you got a gun with no ammo limit, a beam that gets stronger as you fire, and you can add a scope to it for sniping. Really you could go through the whole game with just that rifle

[Bloomer]

Lol, you doing ME1 again?

Go, go go!

Enemies everywhere!

Hold the line!

I will destroy you!



Oh well, pretty soon it's again

Assuming direct control!

This hurts your.

If i must tear you apart i will!

Are you going talk about it, or are you going to do it!?

[Jennifer Rose]

Yeah, I'm doing ME1 again. Started ME3 over too, though. I redo my main FemShep because I missed truckloads of content. I rushed the last third of the game when I had the ending spoiled.
I missed most ex-companions, caused deaths of some, and missed lots of quests.


I picked Vanguard this time for ME3, and SWEET NEWTON it's awesome. Biotic Charge + Nova + heavy Melee = EPIC FRACKING WIN.

[FITTAS]

My bet is that EA is behind the dissapointment.
Let's get our facts straight:

1. Initially it was planned that there would be more places the player could visit like Omega space station,the Citadel Tower,and the Citadel Wards.These areas weren't included because the development team didn't had enough time,and that's because EA gave them littile time,and in that time they also asked them to make up a multiplayer mode,so EA could sell Online Passes...

2.The reason the endings where bad is because they where rushed.The initial script was saying that the Catalyst would be the last living Prothean,and the last gameplay section of the game would be at Illusive Man's base,where you would have a boss fight with the Illusive Man who is indoctrinated by Harbinger.The reason they had to come up with a new ending the last moments is because their publisher asked them to have day 1 dlc.So they delayed the game for 3 months,just to make up a new,rushed ending.

3.The paid day 1 dlc. Well it was day 1,and it was paid.But it was also the reason the endings where bad.

In the end we got a bad,rushed ending that didn't made sense,3 months of delay,day 1 dlc that was excluded from the game,and fewer
in-game areas and missions,because of EA.

At times like that I'm so happy that Bethesda is the publisher of its own self.

It is David Archer and he is at the academy where you find jack.

Also I know a couple others mentioned in emails at your private terminal. can not remember who ATM, But I will check later.

[Alycia Leann grace]

Eh, those of us who play the base games and nothing else (books,dlc, comics etc.) expect to see certain characters and don't know of others, canyou blame them?

[abi]

BioWare forums are a real pest. As much as I appreciate the fandom taking attention at the bad ending some of those guys are just taking it too far.

My bet is that EA is behind the dissapointment.

As much as I consider EA the Josef Stalin of gaming world, I doubt they are directly responsible for this. Games developed by EA tend to be worse than their non-EA predecessors but they have just been publishing this so all they would care about is money - and they are not so stupid they would intentionally piss off the fanbase and pull off an incredible stunt like that.

You see, if EA really was behind this conspiracy they would have striven for a better ending because happy users mean people eager to buy DLC. This game will have DLC no matter what kind of ending it has. And that's what EA is in for: money. It's not in their interests to provoke. They say to BW that they want money and it's BW's job to deliver.

Let's face it: BioWare pulled typical Metal stunt and "tried something new" which inevitably fails, always. If you are a Metallica fan, think of the album Lulu.

So who is the best special forces?
I'm going for N7 Marines but I could use some input.
