Has anyone else gotten the N7 Arsenal Pack from preordering the Digital Deluxe Edition on Origin? I haven't received any email with the code and talking to EA's support reps is like talking to a wall.

Walked away from the Australian midnight release with my Collector's Edition and a copy of Saint's Row: The Third, along with a second, regular copy of Mass Effect 3 that I won in a trivia contest and a Nerf shoot-out. It's me, I'm the biggest nerd.

The game seems to get more and more buggy as you play. I went to talk to Thane and instead of feeling bad for him he ends up talking to an empty chair where my character was supposed to be sitting. Later I went to talk to Kaiden and ended up standing on top of him and then getting stuck walking around a few feet above the ground. There is a lot of other strange stuff like when you talk to Liara in here room she emote with her hands but her hands are clipping through her face and body. There is also this strange thing going on where people will randomly teleport in to the scene like Nightcrawler. It's p. distracting even int he first section of the game with Anderson. He follows you over a barricade right before you jump in to the poo poo and just teleports to the other side. That and his hosed up running animation. Even with all this dumb poo poo the game is really good. I guess I'll just chock it up to sloppiness or engine quirks like a Bethesda game.

What's the deal with the scanning system? Can I afford to scan every planet at least once without locking myself out of crap? Also, "the system will stay locked until you complete one mission" - does that mean any mission, including the N7 stuff?

I have to say I'm loving the poo poo out of the N7 sniper rifle. 3 shot clip and still strong enough to 1-shot a lot of things. With power bonuses for ammo and an extended clip I pretty much don't even need the side arm I carry.

I have a question about a character from 2 that re-appears in 3: Jack. I finished the quest where you run into her and a group of students on the academy that's being attacked by Cerebus. When the mission ended, it looked like the students and Jack joined up with Shepard for the war effort. However, where the hell did they go? I don't see Jack or anyone from that mission on my ship. Are they somewhere else, or was that it?

Just so I'm clear, my import did not carry my ME2 weapons over, right? I was under the impression they were supposed to but I don't have them in my armory.

Apologies if this has been mentioned, but anyone with really bad input lag should turn the origin overlay off. I was really disappointed until I found that one. Origin.  Does anyone have any graphical tweaks yet? The lighting seems a tad dark in places.

So between all three Mass Effect games, what's the maximum number of characters you can have romanced? And will they all get into a big argument with one another or hate you or something for doing so? Because that would be a pretty funny gimmick for a full-trilogy play through. But if there's no dialogue or interaction repercussions to it or anything it'd be kind of dumb. Just wanna be an rear end in a top hat renegade who makes everyone argue about space sex.

I just remembered buying books, flowers, candy, and something else early on the citadel and they never appeared in my cabin and weren't used as gifts or anything, so did I miss something? I bought wine at the citadel hospital early on when visiting Kaidan and Shepard gave it to him as a get-well-soon gift. I was hoping to give it to Chakwas

Just a tip for those who play the PC version. You can pause during unpausable scenes by opening up the origin overlay which key command is shift+f1. It's stupid that you have to do it that way instead of being able to his escape to pause but there it is.

I discovered that there's a tool which converts xbox saves to PC. After playing ME3 on the default character for about 4 hours, I was a bit way of starting over again, but I'm SO glad that I did. So much extra content, which isn't in the 'default' playthrough.

You're supposed to get an email with a code, but you should get it and the Raider shotgun code faster if you get online and talk with a support rep. I ended up calling a live support person. Didn't get the N7 Arsenal but I got a code for the N7 Warfare pack instead.

I've found a bit of a problem that is annoying me with this game. The quest tracker doesn't seem to update on new details. It just leaves you guessing. For instance i'm doing some of the citadel quests and it isn't stepping me through what i'm supposed to do next.

Sooo...this is gonna seem freakishly early, but I just marathoned this poo poo and I'd like to talk about the end of the game. So don't highlight this spoiler text if you have not yet beaten the game. Seriously, don't do it. I felt really, terribly let down by the endings. I was going through full paragon, only missed a few sidequests, managed to fill up the military strength bar completely...and I am presented at the end with three unsatisfying, arbitrary choices. In principle I could understand the logic behind each, but there were all these weird conditions strapped on to them that don't make a whole lot of sense. Really, it just felt like they wanted to be dramatic and force a sad ending, but in a game based entirely around choice it just sucks the wind out of my sails. Obviously I'm not in the best mental state due to sleep deprivation at the moment, but I barely even feel like doing another playthrough if those are the only ways I can end it. I also have a sneaking suspicion they're going to pull a Broken Steel on us and have the REAL good ending only available for an extra cost.

I haven't gotten too far in yet but I am pretty impressed with the character direction in 3 and find it to a big improvement over ME2. For example the storyline involving Jack at Grissom Academy was a satisfying end to their arc, a little humorous and in a way touching.

Is it just me or is the Normandy full of creepy assed sounds? You always hear footsteps coming from weird places and this one girl's grating cackle. Also what the hell is up with that charred body in the AI room? Is it the girl from Mars? I mean it looks like her, but we're just leaving this corpse lay around? Also the music in that room is creepy.

For quests, especially on the Citadel, just look at your map, all NPCs and notable objects are listed. The "Talk to everyone" convention of old school RPGing applies here. If you can talk to them they probably have a quest or the next step of your quest. Perhaps this should be bolded and  ed in the OP, and maybe throw up a few billboards, carve it into the moon maybe?It's kinda funny to hear some of this, a lot of times people whine about too much hand holding in games these days, and now we've got people (not necessarily the same people I know, but still) whining that this game isn't holding their hand enough. edit: heh Cortez just said Vega loves "grizzly bears" and Vega was totally clueless. But I got it, Cortez. I got it  Loving Life Partner posted:Also what the hell is up with that charred body in the AI room? Is it the girl from Mars?

The depth of field effect is also wonky during conversations, sometimes focusing on the background and blurring the characters. However, I think this is a problem with AMD's drivers because I noticed the same thing in my current ME2 playthrough and never noticed it before.

This loving reaper boss fight on Rannoch is so unbelieably horrible. The targeter keeps getting stuck at the last minute, or I ended up rolling when I want to sprint and landing right in the middle of it's laser. It's times like these where I wish they had included that skip combat button. Edit: Also I consulted a video, and my targeter seems to be broken or something as it's moving waaaaay slower than everyone elses. Edit 2: Am idiot. It moves quicker when you don't move.

For the Hanar one in particular: --Get quest --Go into Spectre hub --go to the terminals, activate hanar embassy tracking from the free one. --Get sent to check the embassy's records, that's on the same floor, to the left of the elevator by the guy looking for his son. --Check outgoing communications (or something), that's in the non-Normandy docks, just inside the entrance. --Check recent arrivals, opposite end of the docking bay. --Check communications again, back at the elevator. --Back to the embassies, the first non-Spectre terminal. --Sit back and watch the show. It's confusing because the docks terminals will show up from the promenade for some reason, above the apartment area. Took me a bit to confirm I couldn't get up another level somehow.
