Trast posted:I believe it's been said by official sources that they are involved in the game in some capacity. Has it? The only mention of Cerberus that I can remember is someone breaking an NDA a year or two ago and talking about how he was in a focus group for the game (he said that some aliens jumped into combat from ME3 Cerberus shuttles, which sounds like place-holder assets to me).

Random off topic question: I'm looking to put in an SSD after Christmas, is it worth going for an M2 (apparently my motherboard has an M2 slot, didn't even know they were a thing when I brought it) over a regular SSD?

I've been playing the Mass Effect trilogy with the gimmick of rolling a dice for pretty much every decision, from what mission to do next, who to take on missions and plot decisions. It's been pretty good at making me do things I would normally never do. The dice are pretty loving blood-thirsty though, not only did it decide that Wrex should die in ME1 it also prevented me from buying life-saving Normandy upgrades in ME2, killed Samara to take Morinth, Mordin died in the vents and Zaeed died as squad leader. I need to get back to that playthrough, stopped playing a little before finishing Tuchanka in ME3 to play other games a few months back.

I really doubt they cared about explaining why you're level one again, I don't remember anything in game acknowledging that you're weaker beyond maybe being disorientated when you first wake up.

redreader posted:I started playing mass effect 3 a while ago and since I play on my couch, my mouse is already a trackball and sucks. I wanted to use a controller. Now I have a steam controller and I figure I can get mass effect 3 working with this and enjoy it. Can someone tell me how to do this, please? Adding ME3 as a non-steam game and disabling the Origin in-game overlay should do it, I think.

Other than From Ashes all of that is free anyway and other than FA & Extended Cut it's all the Multiplayer expansions. Leviathan, Omega and Citadel are the 'real' DLC. Honestly I'd recommend them all but Omega is the least 'vital' DLC and you could drop that one if you don't want to spend too much (since the DLC never goes on sale).

Lobok posted:Any squadmates you don't bring should at least get up to something back on the ship. Would make romances more interesting if your love interest was always left behind on the ship and couldn't help passing the time with someone else you always left behind... For all the problems Mass Effect 3 had it was the only one where it feels like your crew actually had lives on the ship when you weren't looking at them. I was actually shocked when I found that Liara and Garrus weren't standing in their usual spots (I actually thought it was a bug a first) but were instead in one of the lounges having a conversation. Compare that to ME 1 & 2 where your crew never do anything but stand in the same spot all game and never interact with each other outside of the occasional cutscene unless you take them out on a mission.

I'm pretty sure a bunch of the base it self is new assets (the walls and doors and poo poo), the alliance didn't have a cohesive visual style until arrival.Though I'm sure those assets were made for ME3, we saw them in Arrival first.

DancingShade posted:I vaguely recall this sentiment going around in the lead up to DA:I too. The plastic looking early screenshots didn't help and I guess the ME:A equivalent is bad facial animations. The game is probaly going to be nearly 50gigs like almost every other AAA game these days, so unless they're going to ship the game on 10 dvds or a loving Bluray the disc isn't going to have poo poo on it. Also, I don't know about the US but here in the UK I'm pretty sure that EA has actually stopped putting discs in most boxes.

Serf posted:Did they add controller support for ME3 on PC? I seem to remember it not being there when I first played and I want to run through it again before Andromeda. None of the Mass Effect games on PC have controller support. All three finally have working mods for it though, note that they literally remove the PC parts of the interface and replace them with the console interface, so set your graphics settings first because that menu doesn't exist after you've installed the mod. Andromeda is going to be the first ME game on PC with controller support out of the non-existent box.

Milky Moor posted:This is basically what I think, too. I would like Andromeda to be a good Mass Effect game. But nothing that's been so far gives any indication that it's anything more than a very cynical attempt to continue the IP. There's no sense of innovation, really. When compared to other games in the genre, it seems like a slightly fancier ME3. It's nowhere near Witcher, yet obviously apes it. I don't like FO4 but I can point out that FO4 did some new things, like settlement building. It's why I liked the guy saying that FO4's marketing campaign was meaningless. It really wasn't! It made me sit up and take notice of a developer I'd written off. What is this game 'obviously aping' from The Witcher?

DancingShade posted:Sounds about right actually. Full renegade "kill everyone" runs in ME1 aside, console players didn't have ME1 saves to import until the interactive comic book DLC that came out much much later. You're right that it was the PS3 that didn't get ME1 until after ME3 came out, but ME2 on PS3 shipped with the interactive comic DLC. ME3 on the Wii U shipped with the ME3 version of the comic.

Nevets posted:Did you need DLC or something to keep playing after ME2's ending? All I remember is killing the Reaper, then deciding whether to hand the keys over to Martin Sheen or blow everything up, then the credits rolled. Nope, after the credits roll you get a page of text that amounts to 'congrats on finishing the game!' and it drops you back into the game in the Normandy's CIC, some characters even have special dialogue for talking to them after finishing the game.

If you take the Paragon path you can leave him to burn to death under the rubble he gets trapped under. Sucks that it's locked to post game, though.

Helith posted:So who definitely dies if you leave their loyalty mission until after the suicide mission and who can survive leaving it like Zaeed can? I suppose you'll need at least one tech specialist and strong biotic loyal for those parts, maybe one commander loyal to keep your specialist alive during part one but Miranda is invincible until holding the line/final boss so a non-loyal Miranda can survive leading the fire-team in part two. I believe you final squad has to be loyal or the non-loyal ones will die and non-loyal escorts for the Normandy crew will die. Holding the line just comes down to maths. I don't think any one character has to be loyal to survive, it just depends on who else is loyal.

Helith posted:So, if we're maximising post game loyalty missions where we can take Legion as a party member, then having Kasumi loyal for the end game works because you do that mission with just you and her anyway. Also Samara's and Thane's missions don't involve a third squaddie so you could do those too. Tali's you can take Legion to before the suicide mission as well usually. There are also a handful of missions where even though you bring a third party member they never seem to speak, I believe that Garrus, Miranda and Grunt are three of them (and Zaeed, but that's a DLC mission so it's fairly obvious that squaddies don't get dialogue).

Olaf The Stout posted:So the minimal amount of squad mates to survive the suicide mission is two, and you can kill Zaeed post game to take it down to one? That would sure be a different ME3 run. Who will the lucky survivor be? I don't know off the top of my head, but I'm pretty sure you can't kill Zaeed if it would only leave you with one squad member. The game still needs you to have two available squaddies for any possible mission.

Maybe hammers are some kind of accessory that buffs your stats? Or maybe they change the heavy melee animation? Since you can essentially change class when ever you want it probably wouldn't make sense to tie the animation to your class like in ME3.

Was the demo of ME3 ten hours of the singleplayer and as much of the multiplayer that you wanted to play prior to launch? I'm not defending there being no demo, but Origin Access/EA Access comes with a lot more than 'lol mass effect demo'.

You just need five 'peace points' that are awarded from different choices in ME2 and 3. I think the only things that outright stop the possibility of peace is if Tali or Legion are dead.

I think the Arks are Human, Asari, Turian and Salarian. The presence of any other Milky Way species is that they were on another 'hub' ship that went out ahead of the Arks. I guess a bunch of Krogan hitched a ride on the mother ship for some reason?
