If I had ME2 DLC armour, will they show up in my inventory, or do I have to buy them at a store somewhere on the Citadel?

gently caress, for whatever reason my Shepard 8 hours into the game reset back to level 1, while all my squad mates are still level 31. Worst part is I don't have any previous saves to go back on. This has killed my motivation to play completely

Just did the Grissom Academy mission and holy poo poo this is a must play if you romanced Jack. She gets some interesting character development and the mission is well done too. And as if you didn't need any more reasons to hate Cerberus, you see them doing some really, really, really awful stuff firsthand. I'm playing on my former Cerberus-loyalist yoomanity first Shepard and still intend to shoot TIM in the loving face should there be an opportunity. Like, he's crossed the threshold from power hungry rear end in a top hat with quasi-noble intentions to full on Space Hitler.

Why is this game beating me over the head with constant and ham-fisted homosexual themes?

Amateur Saboteur posted:Why is this game beating me over the head with constant and ham-fisted homosexual themes? They're about as constant and ham-fisted as the heterosexual themes, so a better question would be 'is this game trying to sell itself with sex'. The answer is yes e: Given that it's Bioware writing any themes present are inevitably going to be constant and ham-fisted

So really I would like to know what happens to the Virmire Survivor after they end up in the Citadel hospital. I'm really hoping I don't have to wait most of the drat game for them to rejoin my team.

An hour in and I'm not sure how I feel about this. It seems like I have a lot less dialogue choices and that Bioware is doing most of the talking for me...

For what it's worth the first three or so hours are the worst about that, and it improves a bit later once the game opens up. But I do think the number of dialogue choices is strangely reduced all in all - they're mostly concentrated in specific, fairly deep conversations.

hunted by a freak posted:Still haven't figured it out. Mouse wheel. I think arrows work too. Also the UI is moronic and will display that arrow if the screen is merely full and there's not actually anything unshown. I had it flickering in the weapon upgrade screen and once I maxed out a gun it revealed... nothing. The blinking light went away and I had an extra space.

Well to be fair there were a lot of times in ME1 where you had three dialogue options that all said the exact same thing. Literally. Word for word identical. This time at least they're not trying to hide it. Generally your choices kind of set the tone for the lines that follow, from what I've seen. I like that just fine.

So, about fifteen hours in, just returned to a besieged Citadel. There's a new gun, the Talon, in a room with a door I can't open, near the beginning. How do I get it?

You're upset that they're establishing characters? You're the one who asked about Cortez's family. You want him to not mention that one member of his family that might offend your sensibilities?

People seem to be talking about doing SP or MP first, am I the only one planning to take the story slow with occasional and meanwhile cutaways to show what Weryloc Prup and his multi-species bros are up to on Noveria or whatever? It seems like that would help the war feel bigger too.

I talked to him once and didn't even chose investigate options because he seemed uninteresting I don't see why then the game made it a bulletin to force me downstairs just to see that cutscene. Or maybe you think I'm some other poster?

Can someone with the PS3 version check and see if it's on a dual layer disc for me? On the underside of the disc it will say either BPDL if it's dual layer, or BPSS if it's single. My PS3 stopped reading dual layer discs so if it's that I'll have to pick up the digital version.

I went down to talk to him and he didn't say anything about a husband until I asked about family. He told me about his parents and then his husband dying at Ferris Fields. Then he told me not to talk about it. It's an RPG. You talk to your crew. They tell you about themselves. Some of them are gay. It's the first 20 minutes of the game and they're establishing what you can expect for the next 20+ hours. It's okay.

This is so close to being the Game of the Forever. It ratchets up so much during Tuchanka. Holy poo poo. Well done Bioware in regards to C&C. Puts ME1 and 2 to shame. If only they had fixed some stuff this would be the best ME yet. Jarmel fucked around with this message at 19:59 on Mar 6, 2012 |

Amateur Saboteur posted:After you get done touching each other you have the option to say you like the pet name he gives you but even if you tell him to cut that poo poo out he says "your loss" with a lisp even. That still made me pretty uncomfortable and I'm not a homophobe IRL, I just don't like my Shepard having to go Renegade option and be a jerk just to keep from implying I want to blow a dude. Huh. I went the paragon option for that and his response wasn't at all "gay." I'm really wondering if you're reading into it, but I haven't heard the renegade line so I must withhold judgment.

The entire game is full of stupid, awkward, hamhanded sex stuff, homoerotic and heterotic and otherwise. From the EDI sexbot and her banter with Joker to everyone's uniforms to the way a male or female character talks to Vega, it's impossible to go through the game without feeling like you're constantly hitting on people or being hit on or just enabling their weird relationships. It feels like you're just noting the gay stuff in particular because it's more unusual.

I don't care he's gay; I care the game shoved it down my throat. I have no idea what you're talking about because the game did not do that for me. That seems like a weird thing to be different. I have yet to be forced to talk to anyone besides the Council. Perhaps you're further ahead and this is something that comes up later?

Tricia Helfer Not Being Sexualized was literally the best part of ME2. So many roles have her being some abject token of nerdlust, it was great to see her absolutely nail the VA and nothing other than that. There are no words for how horrible this decision was. Also I'm fairly certain her silly bobblehead lightbit display in ME2 was more attractive than the loving abomination they cooked up. I love how my FemShep is basically proportioned like a giraffe and Chobot looks far more respectable than expected, but the loving AI is waltzing around as a ridiculous sexbot.

Well, I like that the sexbot was not the crew's idea: It was TIM's. He made a sexy infiltrator and EDI basically sees it and, in the immortal words of Shep, says "I can use this!"

Aside from some dumb things "stuff Generl Battuta mentioned, the kid", I am rather enjoying this game a lot. I was prepared for the worst due to the spoiler stuff like robo ED-I and Dragon Age 2, but it's been great so far. Just wish I can find Kelly already so I can get her and those fish back on my ship!

I played quite a few hours last night and I probably played about 90% of my time on multiplayer. I didn't think it would be as fun as it was. Now on single player I started as a vanguard because that's what I played in ME2, but I just feel fragile as gently caress. I just feel like I'm always getting blown away. Since I'm only an hour and a half in, I'm considering restarting as an infiltrator. How do they feel in singleplayer?
