seal it with a kiss posted:Didn't see this posted (But I'm trying to avoid what few things that haven't been spoiled this late in the game), but PC Gamer gave it a 93%. That's nice and all but no one is going to be satisfied until someone (probably Jim Sterling or Yahtzee) give this game what it truly deserves  .In my ME2 adept insanity file Horizon isn't going as horrible as I planned. About to activate the gun tower though. I realized this morning I have to beat this file because when I imported it deleted my other end game save, unless I use a save editor or something. Do you get anything special for importing a character from Insanity?

I figure they would have explained it too, but then again, they never explained how to save Wrex, or never explained how to save everyone in the Suicide Mission with any 'clarity' based on all the stories of people sending Thane into the vents, or the timers in ME2 as a whole. EDIT: ^^^ The timers are all mission count or story progression.

Pharmaskittle posted:Sorry to interrupt tertiary NPC/punching bag chat but how do I make my ME2 save file work with this game? Just the save file, I didn't keep the game installed. immortal flow posted:I downloaded a save from https://www.masseffect2saves.com and stuck it in (User)\My Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect 2\Save but it isn't being recognised by Mass Effect 3 as an import choice. Nothing shows up on the in game menu They posted it on the Mass Effect 2 Saves site, but you have to copy an old save game folder from your (original) ME2 save game folder and then put the save game file you want to use in that folder (delete the other saves). It's in your My Documents folder. Use the ME2 folder, not the ME3 folder.

Hamburger Test posted:If the answer is yes, I hope you forgive me for asking, but have you tried restarting Origin? I had the restart before it would pre-load on Friday. Yep, thanks but that's not the problem I explained.  Though what's funny is that I had that one too! When I bought the game initially it didn't let me preload. That was solved by restarting just like you said. This is something different.Now that it has preloaded I'm trying to install it. I click it install, it says it's installing, the correct folders are added to the directories but the ME exe does nothing and origin says ready to install still (and yes even after restarting origin and my computron). Guys, I think I'm looking at an entire redownload.  I called customer service and they have no idea what went wrong. I think something hosed up trying to decode the preload and since Origin sucks dick it doesn't even know that it didn't install properly it just knows it's ready to install again! Good times. BTW At the end of the CS phone call the rep said "thanks for choosing EA" and I got a "I didn't! I forced to use this!" before she hung up out.

kater posted:"Hey turns out it's a bad idea to let cerberus siege some school for days on end." Just like how they give you sidequests you CAN'T EVEN FINISH yet. I got a sidequest for something in the Krogan DMZ and I hadn't unlocked it yet. So is that on a timer or not? How long is the timer? It's poorly thought out design. I don't even see how that's arguable. Game designers are allowed to have their timers for missions but they either need to show a timer or explain how long you have. Another issue with the sidequests is that they don't even tell you if you're supposed to get this stuff on sidemissions or planet scanning. 'Hey we just left it in some random level/planet. Have fun searching with these timed quests you don't even know how much time you have left or even where to look'. fivegears4reverse posted:I figure they would have explained it too, but then again, they never explained how to save Wrex, or never explained how to save everyone in the Suicide Mission with any 'clarity' based on all the stories of people sending Thane into the vents, or the timers in ME2 as a whole.

Cowcaster posted:Does Shepard actually die in the control ending though? I thought it was a "shed your mortal form to become master of all the reapers" type deal. Ending spoilers It's hard to tell because everything is so vague. I was leaning towards the Control ending for that very reason (God) but now that I see the Citadel's arms closing I wonder if the Shepard A.I. is actually going to be active or simply remain dormant until it's time to restart the cycle. I wish they would explain these things better. I really don't understand why they thought these ending are in any way satisfying. Look, here's this character you've been growing attached to for 3 games, watch us horrifically injure him and then give him a horrifically painful death! Thanks for playing!

God. loving. Dammit. EA. Both Origin and ME3 are rolling over and dying on attempts to install. I pre-downloaded ME3 from Amazon last night, and now any attempt to open Origin from my computer results in absolutely nothing happening. If I choose "autorun" from the ME3 folder, it gives me a splash screen with a big button that says "Install". If I press that, Origin launches into some kind of updating procedure which gives ridiculous downloading speeds (12MBS? Bullsheeit) and never finishes. The timer will count down to zero and then reset itself.

Also the Reputation system is kinda screwed up too. So the savefile I'm using had the character being Renegade in ME2. In ME3 I'm playing Paragon. Now initially my character didn't have scars but she now does. This is because of the way the Reputation system works in that the ratio of Paragon to Renegade increases but so does your overall Reputation score thus meaning facial scars are affected.

The PCGamer review does a good job of highlighting this, but Bioware really deserves every high review they get for making this game as reactive as it is to the decisions you bring forward in your save files. I played through the first couple of hours on two different saves, and there were countless little touches that differed between - lines of dialogue, characters that popped up, storyline shifts. It really sets the standard, to my mind, for how RPG sequels should be done.

Was anyone else confused as to why Shepard "didn't recognize Miranda" on Mars since the woman on all the monitors looked exactly like Miranda, only to find out that maybe Shepard isn't as dumb as you thought he was because, oh look, it's not Miranda.

I keep getting assigned quests I can't activate or locate. Also, the Galaxy map never lists any of the loving missions/quests under each sector (like it did in ME2). A lot of this game seems so goddamn lazily made. Speaking of which, anyone know where the 'Refugee camp' is in Citadel? It's one of the Aria missions.

I don't want to read too much otherwise I'll spoil myself, but where was that program that lets me create a 'tailor' save file for the end of ME2? I didn't transfer my files over and really would rather not slog through the first and second games again.
