Aphrodite posted:I mean, you can immediately get your badge back and nobody ever talks about it again except your squadmates for a second when you run into them. Yeah, but even then the Council is like "we're not going to publicly acknowledge your reinstatement, or give you any help with the impending apocalypse" and you have to go back to Cerberus to get things done. I remember at the time a lot of players were bamboozled by this and very much wanted a "go back to the Council as your mission command" option instead of being forced to work with TIM.

It's been ages since I've played but how do you unlock Spectre stuff in Legendary Edition? Didn't you have to get up over a Million credits in the old versions? I did that and the C-sec guy doesn't have anything new.

Mass Effect 3 reminds me that when the Force Awakens came out I mixed up the names of Kai Leng and Kylo Ren. I defy you to find a difference between these two pathetic edgelord wannabes.

This time around I didn't even bother asking about Kai Leng so I didn't have to get that especially embarrassing convo with Anderson where he says "wow reapers are bad but this loving cyberdork is really scary!"

Near the end of ME1, and I did the Liara mission last. The dialog was worth it, and all future ME1 playthroughs are going to be like that from now on.

Ok, is Ilos just the Spectre X gear? I should have at least rank VII on the C-sec guy, right? I'm reading up and I guess there's a bug where it goes away after a while and it can be fixed by having a save right before you become a spectre (my earliest is RIGHT after). I don't want to waste time starting a new game and putting a hard save there if it's not going to solve my problem though.

Plenty of Adam Driver fans that want to cure Kylo Ren with the power of love. In a game series where people begged to be able to bang everything from the dino bird man to the faceless suit lady to the Andromeda cat dude, it's telling that there were no calls to be able to romance or redeem Leng. I'm going to make the assumption he doesn't even have any sexy fanart about him and no one needs to prove me wrong.

That's because Kyle ren was a bog normal emo kid from your high school days, now with super powers. Kai leng was that kid sitting alone at lunch picking his nose and thinking about what an absolute power move it would be to break into the jock's house and eat their cereal. Yeah, that would show em!

I was actually annoyed that Shepard doesn't even say anything about murdering her mom and Liara is just like, oh please help, I'm not like my mother. She just magically knew her mom was dead.

Screw the refinery workers, I made a promise to Zaeed I always save the refinery workers to prove a point because we probably wouldn’t even have been in that situation at all and might have killed the Blue Suns leader without hassle if Zaeed didn’t lose his cool. Always listen to the Commander, mercenary man

I really don't like ME2 Jack's whole thing at all, but when her immediate response to being told not to worry and that we're there to rescue you was "poo poo, you sound like a pussy" I literally laughed out loud.

Jack could have been really bad but I think she's saved by her voice actress, who can curse really well.

Jack is cheesy as hell but sort of rules in a 2000s goth phase sort of way. Her fighting with Miranda and calling her "cheerleader" is the low point, imo. Feels like a weird stereotype about high school girl cliques transplanted to a future spaceship and two adults.

Like, Jack hates Miranda because she's a Cerberus lapdog, which makes sense, but she also hates her because she's a prep, which is just really weird and funny and a bit atonal.

I don't think "Cerberus cheerleader" has anything to do with high school cliques, like the line is delivered and understood completely at face value.

bobjr posted:I like how the paragon ending to Tali’s loyalty quest is after being told your word isn’t going to work and you need hard evidence, you say screw the evidence and insult the admirals by using your word to defend Tali and saying this is a kangaroo court. Yeah, the Renegade one flows better for that scene ; where instead you tell the judges that you figured out the trial had political ramifications, and that regardless of the trial's outcome they should keep their jerkoff politics off your goddamn ship and out of your loving crew's lives. The indignation is the same, just not at the same thing and for once Renegade's "Ugh, POLITICIANS !" is not entirely unjustified. Doctor Nutt posted:That's funny because one of the first lines you can get from Jack (I already forget what it's in response to) is "gently caress, you sound like a pussy." and the VA just deadpans it hard and it makes me chuckle every time. Having just done the Batman bit of Leviathan ; I am now forced to concede that, as cool and fun as it is with EDI it would have worked even better with Garrus ; by which I mean re-enacting that one Bunk/McNulty investigation scene. You know the one. - Oh gently caress. Oh gently caress. Oh gently caress, Shepard ! - gently caress me. - Rachni ? No loving way. - Fuuuuck gently caress gently caress gently caress... The gently caress ?! - Oh that sick gently caress. - Fuckin' A, Vakarian.

Another time the Paragon option doesn’t really make sense is Shepard talking Tela Vasir down when she has the hostage. Maybe if he sacrificed the council, but he also brings up the rachni who she likely has no clue about.

Yeah for me the best dialogue option for that encounter is just the renegade one that you don't need reputation for. Great one liner if you kept your Spectre status too.

I'm a little disappointed in the Legendary version that was just released. "remaster" seem to be really stretching it. A few hours in and it doesn't seem like much more than an HD reskin with a minor GUI update. Especially given my squad members still have idiotic combat AI that doesn't seem to understand line of sight and loves shooting at walls. Seems kind of lame that they only remastered it to ~2013ish graphics. It's a little sad to me for example how much better Halo 2 Anniversary looks given that was released 7 years ago. Also a minor complaint: Why does it need two splash screens. It seems like the initial "mass effect" legendary splash screen is all that should be necessary, having a second splash screen when I choose ME 1,2 or 3 just seems a little annoying and makes things feel a bit more disconnected. I suppose it's a great option for people who have never played ME before, but as someone who has all the games and DLC already I really wish I had waited until it was on sale for like $10.

Arrrthritis posted:Near the end of ME1, and I did the Liara mission last. One thing that is kind of goofy playing the games back-to-back is how your original crew is all "Shepard, my best friend and comrade-in-arms" when, for many of these characters, their involvement in ME1 basically consists of "recruited them and then talked to them 2-3 times on the Normandy." Because I also did Liara late and didn't include her in my party, her participation in the story was basically just doing the mind-meld thing with me a couple times and chatting some. I think the time gap between games helped a lot with people being nostalgic for the characters and impacted by the ME2 re-unions, since most don't really do anything in ME1. Seemlar posted:I mean, he says the same if you brain a space monkey in ME1 Aren't those monkeys you kill in the turret mini-game on Tuchanka space monkeys? I think they look the same. Theotus posted:Love how in spite of all of that, if you push the merc out the window in ME2 Garrus is like "Woah man, harsh. But fair." Jack is like "I oughtta take a page from your book Shepard" if she's in your party and you do this.

There are saves on Nexus right before the ceremony to save you time.
