So I thought the romances in this game would be easier to avoid, but apparently not. I somehow ended up in a romance with Vega despite doing nothing I can see to initiate it.

Rabidredneck posted:Just watched this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZOyeFvnhiI&list=UUsgv2QHkT2ljEixyulzOnUQ&index=2&feature=plcp and I have to say, that would make the endings make a ton more sense. Bioware obviously wants the Destroy ending to be canon. It's your only choice if you just play through the story. Shepard destroying synthetics (as in, not succumbing to indoctrination) is the "default" ending. It allows them to pick up right there and continue fighting the Reapers since they're not actually dead. If you actually got a lot of war assets as well, then you get to see Shepard live, on Earth, in the rubble of London as a sort of "good job" teaser. Either way, in the DLC, I would guess Shepard will be found and healed and you'll continue fighting. You can even beat the indoctrination earlier if you're good enough by convincing the Illusive Man to kill himself. Since it's not the real Illusive Man killing himself, you're basically just so good that your mind outright rejects the idea of indoctrination (represented to Shepard as IM killing himself). If you picked to follow the indoctrination, either via Synthesis or Control, then the game is over. No need for DLC from these two endings. It would be like the ME2 ending if Shepard dies. The supposed epilogue DLC will continue on from the Destroy ending only, I would guess. So, that means everybody is actually fine and fighting the Reapers, and you'll come back and activate the real Crucible in the DLC, and all is well.

Well, just finished the game a while ago. Javik is the best, I just used him and Garrus as much as possible. That Prothean Rifle with unlimited ammo basically breaks the game, along with Biotic Charge. Who decided it should fill shields entirely? And recharge in about a second? Fun though, just flinging Shepard round the room at all the baddies. Slam was great too, picked it up in ME2 as well, but it was even more fun here, bouncing people off the floor again and again until they flew right up into the air never got old. The story was stupid, and got more so as it went by, so really the ending didn't annoy me as much as I thought it would because I was pretty much seeing it as a lost cause halfway through ME3. Gameplay was pretty good though, probably my favourite of the series in terms of actual fighting. McDragon fucked around with this message at 21:45 on Mar 23, 2012 |

If he's playing on Insanity, this is true. if you take away the last of a bar then you only do 50%/25%/0% of the remaining damage to the next one at Normal/Whatever/Insanity respectively.

I never read it, but there was a lot stuff that made it sound like the game was super creepy town fanboy fantasy, especially about EDI and Tali. Looking back over the leaked script, it seems like most of the EDI stuff in there is in the game, but the voice acting makes it a lot less creepy (to me anyway) than it reads on virtual paper. It comes across as more about EDI coming to terms with her new freedom and "emotion chip" type stuff to the point that it pretty much is a copy-paste of Data from Next Generation. So it hasn't bothered me too much. It does bother me that her two alternate costumes are literally just Miranda's white and black catsuits, though.

So I am at the point where I am just about to attack the Illusive Man's base, and the journal entry clearly says "all forces will be dedicated to fight the Reapers" etc. I am about to be without internet for a few days, but don't want to finish the game tonight. If I start the next mission and save about 5min into it, will the strength/readiness check have been registered, so even if my readiness falls back down to 50% I won't have to worry since the game will already have checked it at 100?

I'm sure I've seen the Black Widow chip into health when they've been at full shields, but this is just anecdotal. The 'make duders 'splode' thing is true, though, and makes perfect sense for what the Widow's supposed to be.

If Bioware intends for us to pick up immediately after that drawn in breath teaser, it's a major dick move on their part to dump me back at the beginning of the two hour long endgame with limited save points. Also it does nothing for Kelly.

Also it does nothing for Kelly. Well, they would be dumping you at the end of a two hour long slog with limited save points. You'd be waking up pretty much right after you got blasted by Harbinger. Also, they could implement an endgame that involved re-taking the Citadel and rescuing all the people you helped previously, so it could do something for Kelly. She could have her Ellen Ripley moment and finally face her fears and come out stronger on the other side. Not that they'll do any of that, of course...

Haledjian posted:Does it deal the same damage? Black Widow deals significantly less damage per shot, but it will deal more damage than the Widow with the whole clip. I also suggest you try the N7 Valiant, if you have the collector's edition. Less damage than the Black Widow and it doesn't pierce without the mod, but with almost no recoil, it's extremely easy to put 3 headshots in a single target before the damage bonus from cloaking runs out. It also weighs a lot less, so you can use powers a lot more often.

After beating the game, you can select "restart mission" and it'll drop you out right before the charge to the beam. At least, that's the way I remember it happening for me.

Indoctrination Theory needs to be on that spiral. And Bioware's dumb writing won't make a Creative Writing degree any more useful or relevant, Ambigua. Nor will Kelly Chambers' fate.
