I looked back the last few pages and didn't see anything on this. Is there a way to get rid of Renegade scars or am I stuck with terminator face? I'd hope they'd let you do it again but I can't find any evidence of it anywhere.

Welp, Kelly still hasn't appeared and the next mission I have is right before You find the Genophage cure. Any advice or is the game just bugged?

No clue, because she showed up for me as soon as I unlocked that Docks area. I told her to change her identity and she showed up later with a different hairstyle. I assume this means something later on. Also, I might be alone in this, but I absolutely love fembot EDI. It's such an old-school scifi trope that the scifi nut in me went crazy when I saw her.

There's a point of no return for side quests in this like there was in ME2, right? How far away am I from it, in number of main story missions, if the next main mission I have is curing the Genophage and the Krogan homeworld? E: ^^^ In regards to your second spoiler I was really dreading her, having read the spoilers about it from the leak, but the way that her and Joker's interaction is mostly played for laughs is actually kind of endearing. Although her "what is this hu-man emotion you call...'love?'" poo poo is kind of cliched.

You can get rid of them, Chakwas will give you a little mission to trade medical supplies with a turian on the Citadel. Once you're done an option pops up on Glyph's terminal to choose between scar healing or 5% health increase.

The game makes it pretty obvious that there's no turning back after a certain point. As in it straight up tells you.

Just do every side quest you receive before doing a priority quest. You shouldn't lose quests if you do it that way. This won't work for some of the scanning quests though because they are dumb and don't give you the cluster you need to go to until several priority missions later... I'm looking at you Hades Nexus.

Sooo I've got a femshap who romanced Liara in ME1, Garrus in ME2, and has now told both of them she's still into them and is using them in missions exclusively in ME3.

It's nothing out of line with anything the series has already established. The endings, now that they're making people angry as executed and not just in theory, are starting to trouble me. Fortunately at this rate I'm not going to be done for some weeks, and maybe they'll have announced the frantic and apologetic ending-revision DLC by then.

I romanced Kaidan in ME1, Garrus in ME2, and I'm pretty sure I closed off Kaidan as soon as he asked about Garrus while in recovery. Add "broken heart" to "got his rear end handed to him" on the injury report.

And right up to the point Shepard got hit by the laser this was one of the best games I'd ever played.

For sentinels, does anyone know if warp/cryo blast fulfill the same role as far as destroying armor goes? Do they overlap a bit or is cryo a much weaker armor destroyer than warp is but with freezing? I wish they made it more clear with the tooltips.

Bioware The companion dialogue is inconsistent too. Some conversations are repeatable for a while and others are one-shots. I think the biggest change is that there are maybe 10 persuades in the entire game. If you do all the side staff, you'll probably go a good 5 hours or more without seeing a persuade or interrupt. I nearly missed a really important interrupt because I had pretty much forgotten they existed in main plot. Edit: Unless you talk to Cortez. He has one or more interrupts every conversation to console him. Saltpowered fucked around with this message at 06:47 on Mar 8, 2012 |

I have to say Tuchanka if you go with the uhhh Darth Traya school of thought is some of biowares best writing. A little ham-fisted but the closest they've come to Obsidian level. Its probably the first Mass Effect game decision that really gave me pause.

I was thinking about the sexy EDI robot body, and realized, this was made by Cerberus, so TIM probably had it made sexy because he's a creepy individual and probably sees women as disposable pleasures. Like how Bond villains always have sexy henchwomen; it fits their character. It's still sexist, but at least it's consistent with a sexiest characters action.

So I lost my save files from before. I'm eight hours in or so and none of my decisions from ME2 were not the ones it defaulted to. Plus infil is boring. Am I a dumbass? Vanguard seems more fun I'm hoping that there is a reasonable amount of difference.

Bioware Uh, it's not remotely like that  Are you actualy playing Mass Effect 3 and not some other game? Take a look and make sure. There's been literally dozens of dialogue pieces with every single squadmate I've bothered to talk to. It's not necessarily fixed camera back and forth all the time, but they'll sometimes say things to each other as you walk by (because they're not just hanging out in the main gun doing calibrations all day) After a certain mission alone there was a unique conversation between Tali and Garrus, and one between Liara and the DLC dude, and after I talked to Liara, Tali and Garrus had a different conversation.

Fenrir posted:You know what? gently caress that. Here's a fun thought exercise that will be much more satisfying. Make up your own ending and forget whatever that bizarre bullshit was. My Shep is drinking wine with Liara at a beach somewhere and yelling at a little blue kid not to wander off too far. Wait, you mean that this isn't a possible ending? I can't imagine why they wouldn't put something like this in. As far as I can tell, basically every ending goes like this: "Alright, we defeated the Reapers!" "Yeah!" "Nice job!" "Great work, Shepard!" ... "..." "..." "..." "...Anyone want a drink?"

Is anyone else seeing some big paralells between the stuff going on with EDI and Data from Star Trek? It's very interesting and I have to think they must have pulled some inspirations for these conversations from him.

At least I don't think the entire staff of Bioware are poo poo people. It's less "You sexist motherfuckers" and more "Oh, more of this, again." I'm not super mad that EDI takes over a sexbot, but I am a little disappointed and kinda wish that she had taken over some giant war droid with a gun for a face instead. That would have been super fun I think! Of course I'm a dude and this kind of stuff doesn't really affect me one way or the other, so whelp.
