I spent half an hour trying to make my face better and gave up and loaded the thing it gave me as an ME2 import and turns out that was fine.  Really impressed with the game so far. Not blown away, but it's a lot more solid than I would have imagined. The squad AI is downright amazing.

Argue posted:Does any of the ME2 DLC have significant impact on ME3, or can I just watch the cutscenes on Youtube? Hard to tell. Probably not, but it is referenced all over the place. Also Kasumi's swank casual wear is in the game, not sure if it only comes through on import.

Senjuro posted:Am I supposed to have the pre-order bonus weapons and armor at the start of the game or do I need to find them along the way? Because if I should have them right away then something is screwed up here. Only the KoA:R demo stuff is showing up. Is it because I wasn't supposed to unlock the game before friday? You get everything by the time you get the Normandy proper. Think the pre-order stuff is all codes you have to enter though.

I really doubt it matters, but the format is Name_XY_DDMMYY Name being the name, X is 1/2/3 for Spacer/Colonist/Earthborn, Y is 1/2/3 for Survivor/Hero/Ruthless, and the date is date of creation. Also it doesn't sound like you can't find her, but the medi-gel lady is next to the elevator on the left. I've done some stuff since finding it and she was still there, so who knows.

Jarmel posted:I love the fact that the game never explains this to you. It blows my mind that nobody caught this. "Hey turns out it's a bad idea to let cerberus siege some school for days on end." What I find baffling is the complete lack of explanation of the Readiness % stuff. Am I supposed to know what the gently caress this is? Vagon posted:Hey! Thought i'd repost this one more time before resigning to calling their awful customer support. Save me from that awful fate! I'm pretty sure everything I've installed from Origin does a Windows UAC thing to allow Origin to gently caress with your computer. Maybe you need admistrator access or something?

You can get 200% bonus recharge rate with a shotgun with one of the weight bonus powers. I think the alternative is just some squad powerup. Why would you want that when you could have a shotgun.

Blue Suns? Yes, it's insane. Literally just some random scanning in some random rear end system. It *is* labeled on the nebula map, but sheesh.

One random internet poster said reloading saves/going to other parts of the citadel fixed it, but that hasn't worked for me. This is the one quest I want to get done out of those 4 Are you checking the map to see which terminal to go to? Hope you fix it, that quest ending was awesome.

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.

Grey Fox V2 posted:The one thing that's bothered me so far is how they're trying to sexualize a robot. Edit: Err I don't know if it's even worth doing at this point, but hey spoilers I guess. 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.

Amateur Saboteur posted:Name one other character that has hit on you that strongly in your introduction conversation. I agree with you that it is a bit pronounced if you go in with the out of game knowledge of Bioware bragging about it. I thought the dude below decks having a husband was a nice touch, but him being the first dude you go comfort or w/e was kinda hitting on the nose. The Yeoman thing was just silly trash. But Vega? Just to be clear, you are talking about this right? Yea... not seeing anything. Loco is hardly the most endearing of nicknames. And to answer the question, the first conversation you have with Liara is 100% double entendre. The conversations with Kaiden/Ashley in ME1 are so ridiculous it's easy to think they removed the homosexual relationship at the last minute. And ME2 was *full* of people complaining about accidentally starting relationships.

TheGreatDave posted:This game seems pretty buggy on the PC. Character animations will go from Shepard just randomly flying in air while running, or Shepard getting stuck in loop animations during cutscenes. For one example Shephard was focused on a item in the Normandy so his head was turned 90 degrees to the left while talking to a perosn on the ship. Was creepy. The first time I talked to Liara on the Normandy my Shepard kept staring at the info drone behind her. Her as in shepard. Behind herself. So Liara was talking to the back of Shepard's head while the rest was facing front. Then when the info drone joined in they both started twisting their heads back and forth rapidly and neither of them had pupils in their eyes. The first thing I thought of was The Princess.

For whoever was asking about SMG/Pistol bonus damage to shields/armor, there is a tooltip in multiplayer at least that says something like "You should consider bringing both slow and fast firing weapons for dealing with various types of resistances."

I'm not sure if it was either doing the videos in reverse order (Just keep looking around) or mashing space button to get past the talk with Liara that got me through this. Popular Human posted:I don't even have a PC career. I have a cleared Mass Effect 2 save sitting on my flash drive and Mass Effect 3 refuses to import it. This is on the 360. This save has never been "in the cloud." Have you tried moving the save to the actual xbox on your wife's (not just usb)? Maybe that's the voodoo that will work. Also you need to use the same xbox profile as the save.

thetrin posted:I think he's playing on PC. The PC version has awful sound levels, even at max. Yea. Even with headphones I have to jack up the volume so loud that I get static because they are wireless. And even if that was acceptable it doesn't work because going to the galaxy map reduces the sound even further and the game doesn't revert back on it's own. There's a whole hell of a lot about this game that feels incredibly cheap and rushed. I guess quality control doesn't matter because I've already given them my money. thetrin posted:The whole concept of using multiplayer to affect the ending is astronomically stupid. They can't possibly not know that the majority of people who play video games play through the single player and THEN play the multiplayer. The way how having individual sections of the galaxy is so incredibly meaningless just feels like there was supposed to be some single-player component of readiness that got cut.

DMBFan23 posted:Sur'Kesh question: The game is pretty explicit about what having Maelon's data does. The cure was derived from the Krogan Maelon cured, not his data. Mordin repeatedly states that having it is helping her recover though. Which I'm fine with. I haven't progressed much past that point but it's elegant and feelsgud and seems like it *might* be important later.

The Goon posted:Just starting up the game, finally. For those that have done it, would you recommend Adept or Vanguard? I played as an Adept in the first two games, and am wondering how people found those classes in this game. I was all about the Vanguard in ME1/2, but it felt really boring in ME3. I spent the endgame sniping most of the time because that was so much more fun than Charging everywhere. The shield recharge still saved my rear end plenty of times though.

I imported a pretty comprehensive Shepherd at 30 with nearly everything done in ME1 and 2 (never bought Pinnacle Station but I doubt that means poo poo) and maxed out at 56. I think I did every sidequest as well. You can't import a character higher than 30, that's what ME2 maxes at. I don't think it's possible to cap in one game. Not that it matters, I had at least 40 points unassigned because the only thing I used was my sniper rifle and biotic charge.

The best thing about infiltrators is taking the Geth shotgun and priming it before cloaking and then firing a full charge AND STILL BE CLOAKED. What's that, big dumb stupid Geth Prime machine? You want to lose all your shields in a single shotgun + melee combo? Okay I will oblige. Man infiltrators are the best. Even vanguards are wimpering cowards so long as those red moons aren't connected. Infiltrators know that meleeing pyros is how you kill them.
