cbservo posted:Seriously. my only complaint so far, having loads of fun traipsing all over the galaxy and I love every single member on board the Normandy....except for her. You can go down to her at any time to tell her to leave by talking to her a couple of times. I kept an open mind on the character when she was announced as I hadn't heard of the actress beforehand but her voice acting is easily the worst in the game. At this point I'm only keeping her around to see how much war assets I can crib off of her.

canada jezus posted:A savegame editor that could change warscore would really just take care of this nonsense. Funny you should mention this. I was getting sick of all this circular arguing about multi vs single and assets etc so I spent a few minutes testing with Gibbed's coalesed.bin extractor. 1. Backup your coalesed.bin file located in [your me3 folder]\biogame\cookedpcconsole 2. Download gibbed's coalesed.bin extractor. I don't have a link at hand but maybe someone can share it. 3. Drag and drop your coalesed.bin file on top of the executable and it will extract all of the configuration files into a seperate folder. 4. Open the file called 09_bioui.json and find the sfxgame.sfxgawassetshandler section which lists all of the assets. 5. When I did it I tested with the Kelly Chambers asset called GAWAsset_CerberusExPatriots. On that line you will see a value called starting strength as follows code:7. Drag and drop the folder on top of the executable to generate a new coalesed.bin file. Put this file in your cookedpc folder. 8. Load up a save game from before you recieve the asset in question. In Kelly's case it was when I read an email from her sometime after the coup and I had saved her life. 9. You will be awarded the asset at the value entered. Save your game 10. Exit the game and restore your backed up bin file to the cookedpc folder. You keep the new value as your asset and your bin file should be safe for using with multiplayer. 11. And most importantly from now on just enjoy multiplayer for the fun of it and single player for the fun of it and never the twain shall meet again.

The Aberrant posted:Does anyone know if gibbed's save editor allows you to change Readiness? I had a look last night. In the version of it I had downloaded there is a section for editing each individual assets strength. I couldn't test it though since it didn't seem to want to save the file. Edit: I also posted this guide earlier for changing asset values in the coalesed.bin file if you want to try that. It should work for any asset in the game and it only applies the value upon receipt of the asset. 1. Backup your coalesed.bin file located in [your me3 folder]\biogame\cookedpcconsole 2. Download gibbed's coalesed.bin extractor. I don't have a link at hand but maybe someone can share it. 3.

Zmanl0p6 posted:If I could throw Allers out of the airlock I would. I will instead have to settle for inviting her onto the ship and the immediately telling her to gently caress off once she gets on board. I only kept her around this first playthrough to see if she did anything interesting and she didn't. It doesn't help that Jessica Chobot's face doesn't transfer over to the video game world nearly as well as Yvonne Strahovski or Male Shep and whoever they modeled Jack after did. My character ran into Miranda the other day and I could swear that she has added another storey onto her forehead. Whats the effect of getting rid of Allers? I know you get small boosts to readiness if you keep her.

evilmiera posted:Well, I'm certainly hit with laughter at some of the animations in cutscenes. Not that it is generally bad but there are moments when things just go crazy or you wonder how that person is making that face and why. My favourite one of these is when you first meet Kelly on the citadel. There is an interrupt to give her a hug. Then the shot cuts to a close up of Kelly talking and then cuts back out to show Shepard and Kelly in the hugging pose only they are standing a foot or so apart from each other.

Just finished the game. Oh boy was that ending an amazing tribute to Ultima IX (another game in which a previously unstoppable force of evil is defeated in the most haphazard of ways). Other than that the game was fantastic. The good points: The game got the mix between ME1 style RPG and ME2 combat right for the type of game it should be. Most of the main quests are done really well. When the game needs to sell big moments in these sections it really does it well. Call backs and reappearances of old characters were done well. Character death spoilers:The death fakeouts I got for Kasumi and Grunt had me on edge momentarily and the actual deaths of Thane and Mordin were exceptionally well done Multiplayer is just fantastic fun. Any doubts I had about that mode have totally dissipated. Voice acting is almost entirely spot on. Even material from the leaked script that had me groaning managed to get saved by the actors. The bad: that ending ugh. The idea of the war score to me devolves the importance of making decisions when make a decision is made on the basis of what arbitrary number it awards you rather than the intrinsic effect of the decision to the story. Lack of decent block of side missions like the N7 mission from 2 and a lot of the side quests in 1. The few N7 missions in 3 are just the multiplayer maps and beyond that you just have the few mission like Grisson and a couple of ME2 squad mate missions. Following on from that the planet scanning is something that wasn't fun in 2 and isn't fun here. A few of the scanning objectives would have been better off getting turned into short little side missions. Dream sequences. Just a small annoyance seeing as you only get a few of them but when I finally get around to doing a failure Shepard I'm going to name him Max Payne Shepard.

Does anyone have any save game for the conversations with Kaidan where you can unlock his bonus powers? It seems as though the career where I kept him alive is lost in dark space.

Paino posted:So, I decided to finish a couple of side missions by reporting them in to some random Citadel dudes and I get involved in a Cerberus clusterfuck. Meanwhile, there's still a bomb I have to defuse. Just live with it. You made a bad decision and now there are consequences. It's all part of the appeal of the game.

Paino posted:No it's not. It's retarded game design, and Bioware deserves all the flak it got, horrible metacritic average included, because this is the DA2 of Mass Effects. The bomb went off because you felt it was a better use of your time to deliver a power unit to a nightclub rather than defuse a bomb that threatens the safety of your allies. These kind of quests have to have some bit of urgency about them because otherwise you may as well just be ticking items off of a list. It actually kind of bugs me that missions flagged as priority in this game are anything but.

Sombrerotron posted:While I disagree with the notion that there is something inherently wrong about including timed missions or locking you out of content depending on the order in which you accomplish things, I'll grant Paino that the player should've been informed of this in some way. Most missions in ME3 are presented as being pretty urgent, just as they were in ME2, but generally there's no rush at all to complete anything within a particular timeframe. It makes sense to clearly distinguish the exceptions to that rule. That doesn't necessarily mean displaying a countdown or a big, bolded warning in red capitals, of course; something a little more oblique like a verbal reminder by another character that time's running out would suffice, I think. I agree it should have been sold better to the player. Wrex: SHEPARD! It's appears to be speaking. Shepard: What is it saying? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeLqsvFO31o

Dr. Ohnoman posted:Finished my latest ME1 playthrough and figured another run through ME2 would be in order. But no, says Origin. See, for whatever reason, none of my DLC works or even installs. Origin spent a good while automatically downloading all the DLC, but none of it would install. The install buttons did nothing, which is no surprise because I didn't actually have the installer files anywhere despite the long-rear end download. So, I delete the installers folder and try to download all the DLC again. Well, now it won't even download more than 17 KB of any of the files. I had something similar happen to me. I had the steam version of ME2 which I then registered on Origin just to have it there. Of course one day I accidentally launched ME2 from Origin and ever since then everytime I load origin I get an installer popping up for each individual piece of dlc released for the game. The installers won't do anything but sit there until I cancel them.

VirtualStranger posted:Is there any way at all to get the default Female Shepard face from 1 & 2 to show up properly in 3? Whenever I try to import that face from ME2, it always come out hosed up. It would be nice if there was a face code to recreate it. I used the Lazarus program linked here to get my femshep right. It works by converting the face morph files that the gibbed editor generates. Apparently it doesn't work with male Shepard though.

That robotic dog in the Collector's pack is the biggest letdown in the entire trilogy. It doesn't do anything but pace up and down the cargo bay. It doesn't even do this. They did release all the Dragon age promotional stuff a few months back so hopefully they'll do the same for the ME2/3 items at some stage.

Just out of curiosity I had a look at the list of achievements on my Origin copy of ME3 and there are about 9 place-holder achievements with generic string identifiers if I scroll the list all the way to the end. I assume they are Citadel related.

Regalingualius posted:I'm kind of wondering: Has anyone here actually done the "get so low a readiness rating that everything fucks up at the end" run of the series? Stuff like killing the Rachni Queen in 1, then saving her replacement, or letting Samara kill herself, then killing her daughter, for example. This is my preferred gently caress up run. I don't know how it rates with Galactic readiness but I think it gives a decent bad things happen score to the entire trilogy. quote:ME1.

monster on a stick posted:There's his loyalty mission as well - I always tell Garrus and whoever is with him (Miranda or Zaeed usually) to stay behind cover just before the YMIRs come out, and do they listen? Nope, so I have to tell everyone to hightail it to cover under fire and usually both go down and I have to solo the bots Pro tip for this mission. A carefully timed overload on the cranes is a one shot kill of the YMIR's.

monster on a stick posted:The unskippable "dream sequences" in ME3 is far worse than any unskippable in the ME3 intro. Seriously gently caress those stupid bits where I have to run around chasing a drat kid. If you run away from the kid enough times the game will give up and just jump to the dramatic moments where you catch up with the kid. Milky Moor posted:Didn't someone figure out that the turret section at the base is only there to cover a load time for the next sequence? You can beat that turret section without firing a shot. In general for most of those turret sections you can just skip using the turret at all. Those sections are a lot better if you stick to using your powers or melee.
