Just finished the Rannoch missions. I felt like I made the most agreeable decisions, given the circumstances. I let Legion upload the Reaper code and warned the Fleet - somehow that was the Renegade option? I lost Legion in the process but it seemed like there was no way to simultaneously save him and not lose the Quarian Fleet. What happens if Tali is dead in ME2? Do you just not go to Rannoch at all? Edit: What happens if you sold Legion to Cerberus in the last game? Anything special? exquisite tea fucked around with this message at 00:39 on Mar 19, 2012 |

I think Legion always dies, if you don't resolve the standoff he goes to strangle you and Tali stabs him in the back with that boot knife she's always had but never used. If Tali is dead then you don't get any squadmate to replace her but her place in that set of missions is replaced by a stand in who might as well be called Tali B.

Is the heavy weapon in the last part of the Priority: Earth fight on the side of the street the truck is or not? I thought the Banshees and Marauders kept spawning (or at least the Marauders) until you hit the button.

The rachni mission was fairly unpleasant but that bit near the end where the devs said "well, let's just drop a bunch of enemies right on top of the player" really sucked, even as a sentinel. I don't know how an engineer would be able to survive that.

NihilCredo posted:Holy hell this game's difficulty is a rollercoaster. I didn't get any challenge whatsoever after the Grissom mission, so after a while I moved up from hardcore to insanity, and I still barely had any challenge for the rest of the game. It might be hard to set up, but the Lasers that Harbinger is firing at you can actually kill the enemies as well. I was running like hell from two Banshees and a bunch of maruders when they all vaporized. It was awesome.

Is there no way to disable the visor on the Blood Dragon Armor? I just started up another playthrough because I am a massive sucker, but despite setting helmets off in cutscenes that stupid visor still shows up every time.

Games also iffy in terms of your teammate's helmets. One time James just failed to render in what I think was his DLC suit, so people were talking to an invisible man.

I was running like hell from two Banshees and a bunch of maruders when they all vaporized. It was awesome. He actually isn't up to that part yet. There's no reaper fire at that point. After 2 Banshees and marauders, you face 5-6 Brutes, 3 at a time and then >4 other Banshees (enjoy!), which is when the Destroyer-reaper starts firing again. Fortunately you don't have to kill the last few Banshees since it's a timed event, though. messagemode1 fucked around with this message at 01:10 on Mar 19, 2012 |

You're right, I realized just after I posted that it was because of an edited coalesced I'm using adding two of every unique armor set to your inventory. I was just using the one that the helmet won't come off of for some reason.

What the hell is up with Grissom Academy, inside the Atrium? You can't charge, you can get shot and killed in the weapon wheel, blowing up turrets from the other side of the map instantly kills you, and I have to hammer the button for it recognize my prompts. The rest of the game has been fine until now. What the gently caress? Also dick move keeping the instant kills in singleplayer.

I had the same exact problem at that point, all I can really say is take that part slow, it's really one of the only areas that happens. Biotic charge is kinda wonky sometimes and won't always trigger, but it's especially bad there.

You break them by shooting them, which also works in multiplayer.

It was piss-easy as a sentinel when I waited almost as long as I could.

Can I get Jack without an ME2 save? I played ME2 on 360, then my 360 blew up so now I'm playing ME3 on PS3. I already did Grissom Academy and she wasn't there.

Do the 75 points in War Assets you get from promoting a level 20 N7 character stack? I ask this because I'm kind of interested now in making a total fuckup Shepard who gets everybody killed, breaks alliances, saves no one, and still wins the day because of some N7 buddies. Yes, I know this would take a considerably long time to do.

CheeseSpawn posted:Was she your LI from ME2 and did you break it off ? If yes, I dont think you can give the dossier to Miranda. Seems like a few other people had this problem. including myself. I can't confirm it because there's no reason to go back through the game. Nope, definitely not. But I guess I'll get to try it again. Just downloaded the DLC and started another playthrough as an adept. Also playing on hardcore this time. It's a lot harder, but I think that has more to do with not knowing how to use adepts effectively yet, and not having a single squad member yet with overload.

PureRok posted:This sounds interesting. What's it called? Codex Alera. Every person is born with an elemental spirit as their innate Pokemon, giving them abilities and a friend. The main character doesn't have one, so he's got to *~learn things~*. The series ends with a friggin' Dragon Ball Z-style "flying around, shooting lasers" fight. Lots of decent ideas, but Butcher's ending kinda stumbled. Will doing Priority: Rannoch make a shitload of side missions become unavailable?

If I had never played ME2, both of these characters would mean nothing to me, so why is one my old buddy and the other is nonexistent (except for Dr. Chakwas reminiscing about her)

I wish you could speak directly to Glyph, if only so that he wouldn't say things like 'have a pleasant day!' right before you fight the decisive battle for the galaxy. At least have the little guy wish you luck like everyone else!

I may be in the minority here, but I liked the ending. I chose synthesis, and it's very transhumanist, with synthetics and organics living in harmony in the end. Edit: The best part about getting to the ending is no longer having to avoid the spoiler tags.

Pretty sure a non-import game defaults your squadmates as not having been loyal in ME2. And if you didn't do Jack's loyalty mission then I'm pretty sure she would have no reason to become a beloved teacher at Grissom Academy, because she would still hate everyone and everything.

"I'm sorry if I accused you of pulling a gun on me, even if you didn't. I was under a lot of stress at the time." That whole exchange was really funny - I laughed at a video game's attempt at humor, and that never happens. Does Conrad get shot for real if you didn't help that girl at Chora's Den? That seemed like a really random insert.
