Boy oh boy. Those endings are as bad as advertised. Game is fun as hell though, and all the characters are really great. So I dunno what happened at the ending. Anyone seen if there is a "secret" ending for new game plus like the guide said?

masseffect3endings.jpg Oh, and my war asset report: I was at around 7100 total after completing every mission and importing and making the right choices in-game. I had to play multiplayer to get my EMS over 5000. So I very much think the "best" ending is impossible without multiplayer right now.

DerDestroyer posted:I apologize if this has already been asked/answered but is there any way to edit galactic readiness to 100%? I just realized in spite of getting something like 6900+ war assets the readiness basically drops me down to 3400 so I can't get the best ending even though I thought I did. Just play multiplayer for an hour or so and you'll be fine. Gibbed posted this earlier if you wanna try editing stuff. http://svn.gib.me/builds/masseffect3/

Blue Kazoo posted:So I recently acquired an Xbox 360. I previously played ME1 and ME2 on PC, but my computer is at the bottom end of the spec range. I'm leaning towards getting the 360 version, but will not having an old ME2 save to continue from make my gaming experience suck? I'd rather have a good time than perfect graphics. You will miss a lot of content if you don't transfer saves, and a lot of things are simply impossible without importing.

I bought the shotgun at the Spectre shop and loved it. I could carry that, an SMG, and the Carnifex and I had about a bonus of %175 percent recharge. You can get the damage really up there. I have no idea why you'd want to heavy melee instead of use the shotgun according to that new flowchart. Heavy melee isn't as strong, has a windup time, and you still get the time dilation to line up shots after charging. For brutes, I'd say charge-nova-rollback-charge-nova-etc. is a better strategy. But you don't always want to nova in groups.

DrNutt posted:I'm not sure if it's a testament to the awfulness of the endings as given to players by BioWare, or the obtuseness of nearly everyone in this thread, but it's hilarious to me that people keep thinking of this as the "best" ending because Shepard can live. Because at least then I can make up poo poo to make me happy. Like so! All the aliens around earth realize they have a shitload of ships and can go home by putting everyone on a few and using the fuel from the other. It'll be a few years, but eventually they'll all be back home. The leftover geth who didn't get reaper code are all like "look we never wanted to fight anyway and this Legion dude was chill" so they keep helping the quarians and start building new relays. Edi kept part of herself in the Normandy systems that was when she was a rogue VI and eventually gets back to being a full AI. Liara still can direct poo poo as the Shadow Broker. Tali remembers she's a loving genius and with Adams and Ken and Gabby they get the ship fixed and head toward Earth. Some of the crew decide to stay and they are assimilated into the locals which leads to the epilogue. Shepard recovers and is like "I gotta find my space bros" and right when he's ready to go they all show up and then he lives with his/her LI and retires from saving the galaxy.

But I don't have the mental capacity to get too upset because oh my god this soundtrack is so good and I cannot stop listening to it. Say what you want about the plot, but the composers have consistently knocked it out of the park. The only good thing about the endings is the music.

I was surprised how much I liked Liara in this game. I didn't like her in ME1, but she was good in Shadow Broker and that carried over to this game extremely well. Plus she's an awesome squad mate. Tossing out singularities and warps every two seconds.

Dolphin Fetus posted:Are there any spoiler free walkthroughs out? I'm really paranoid about clearing areas because I don't want to miss war assets or anything. Also really unsure about what order to do quests and side stuff..I don't want to get screwed out of missing something. The best way to avoid getting locked out is to do those things before doing priority missions. So when a side mission pops up, go ahead and do that before doing the next priority one. Priority missions advance the plot and can lock stuff out.

mistermojo posted:Can someone tell me the general quality of the side missions? N7 missions are on the multiplayer maps and sort of play out like them. Citadel missions mean they came from the Citadel or are finished there, and those involve finding items on missions (or buying them from the Spectre terminal if you miss them) or scanning planets or running around the Citadel itself. The true side missions are better, though there are only three (or four if you get From Ashes).

Nelson Mandingo posted:You know I'm watching these Femshep videos in ME3 and while Jennifer Hale is a great actress, I think Mark Meer hulked out on actor juice and did a much better job. I can't compare since I haven't seen much of Femshep, but Meer definitely put in a great performance. As the game goes along and you can see the weight and pressure Shepard is under, the delivery matches. And the ending part talking to TIM and where you have a short conversation with Anderson while sitting on the Citadel before he dies was just great acting all around with every party.

Markkei posted:I chose to continue my Liara romance and thought that was satisfying as well. The gift scene was really touching. How are the other romances? I did the Tali romance and I liked it. Lots of extra moments added to some parts of the game, and really funny party banter on the first priority mission with her concerning it. The scene you mentions plays out regardless if you romance Liara and it's touching still, as is the last conversation with her where she shares her memories with you. Like I said, I'm really surprised how much I liked Liara in the game and will probably follow that romance on another playthrough.

Dominic White posted:Huh - maybe you don't get that option unless you've made certain decisions? The Citadel explains that there's a third option, to change everything, and presents it as a middle road and results in a green wave rippling across the galaxy. You get the third option by having a higher EMS rating. If you don't get a certain level, you don't get that option.

Dolphin Fetus posted:Ugh..so I'm at the first area of the game before the priority mission on Surkesh and I'm trying to do the little citadel quests where you go to clusters and look for stuff. The problem is that a good chunk of them, like the shrike system, have reapers. Do I just have to wait until they leave or do I have to play keep away with the silly space bugs if I want my extra assets? When you go to a Reaper controlled system you won't be chased immediately. Only after scanning do you raise their awareness and they chase you. You can escape by leaving the system or taking a relay out. After you complete a mission you can go back and it resets their awareness. And so everyone knows, docking at the Citadel refuels the Normandy so if you don't wanna pay you can do that.

Dominic White posted:For the record, I managed to get high enough EMS to get that particular ending option without touching multiplayer at all. Your mistake here, concerning the ending, is you're assuming Shepard has the geth, and you think Shepard is walking out unharmed. Shepard is going to die in all of the endings (the only way to save Shepard is completely unrelated to the plot and a gameplay mechanic) so that doesn't matter. But frankly, the endings are so bad and poorly implemented that it's not worth arguing them because each of them is full of plot holes and you don't know what exactly happens with each choice anyway.

The Aberrant posted:Anybody know how to edit my Paragon score/decrease renegade? I think I got two points of renegade by buying those marines in Purgatory a drink with James and now I can't select the last loving paragon coversation for the illusive man! Your checks are decided by your total reputation, not your renegade/paragon score. My bar at the end was about 95% paragon and I could choose any renegade option if I wanted to. As always, choosing the passive that buffs your reputation is the way to go.

Eejit posted:Two things: No, you misunderstood, Shepard dies in all of the choices. You can only save Shepard by choosing destroy and having an EMS of 4000 or 5000 depending on if you save Anderson. Shepard effectively dies in all of the endings except for that specific set of circumstances, which is just a gameplay mechanic. Shepard doesn't know that they can survive a certain option because their score is 5000. You as the player know that. So saying that Shepard knows they'll walk away in one ending is incorrect, because as far as the character knows, they're gonna die no matter what.

Though the Wiki says you can make peace between Geth and Quarians, but I cannot figure out how to do that You need to have met a certain number of goals and have imported an ME2 save with them and/or do certain things in ME3. If you didn't import an ME2 save, it's impossible.

I'm glad the endings are so universally reviled and it just isn't the creepy fanbase. I hope it puts pressure on them to fix it. I just don't even know how they can look that over in the first place and go "that's great! Everyone will love it!" It's like writing a story then passing it over for someone else to finish and they go in a completely different direction.

nwin posted:So is there no consequence for the reapers catching your ship? I got a game over screen and then it loaded me right back where I was, sans reapers. That's your consequence! Really, only planets are gonna have things. Fuel is gonna be randomly around. It's really just easier if you scan like a madman until caught, then when the save reloads you know where everything is. It makes scanning much quicker.
