Use quarian infiltrator!!! Sabotage works great

I finally got to where the demo ended. Anyone have

[Show spoiler]captain kirrahe in their game? I'm curious if he only survives if you made a certain decision in me1.

The death that really got to me was

[Show spoiler]Thane.

Ah, man...

Yeah, but I felt it was done in a way that was appropriate.

[Show spoiler]Everyone knew he was dead anyway

I finished the game and you can count me amongst those who was disappointed in the ending.

I am not going to say anything beyond that.

Dude I do use that! But people just kill my hacked Geth all the time! Vanguards get all Biotic Charge crazy and massacre everything.

I finally decided on a new look for my male Shep. Here's some comparison shots of how he looked in ME2 and how he looks now. Nothing major, but felt he needed a new hairdo since he's aged and to show that some time has passed with him

ME2

ME3

I normally hack the geth that has the flamethrower or the rockets. They're fun to watch.

Vanguard are pretty good in mp. When I see them attacking, I just move to a different area. The good ones can handle themselves and the bad ones will get killed quickly and isn't worth saving.

That's exactly what I do. I've hacked a couple of Pyros and Rocket Launchers at the same time and they just blow each other up. I'm hoping to get the Drell Adept though.

I like it Havok83. I can't do much with mine since it is based on what I look like. My wife actually created them for me, which was kind of a ***** because I played ME2 first. So she had to rely on what the presets were when recreating it on ME. Still, I think she did a pretty good job. The first one is my ME Sheperd and the other two are ME2. My femShep was a bit easier. I slimmed her down, made her more gaunt in the cheeks and a nice scar on her lip.

I think the problem is that unless you've used the spell yourself, you have no idea what some red on a dude means. They should have included some UI that tells you the status of an enemy. Like, Warp, Sabotage, Incinerate, etc.

I don't care about Mass Effect sex. I think the romance is incredibly contrived. So I picked Liara as my lover in Mass Effect 1 at the beginning of Mass Effect 2. Then I engaged in space coitus with her for the trophy. Except that didn't give me a trophy. So I had to do go with Miranda instead. Cut to Mass Effect 3. I run into Liara early on. She asks, are we still in love. And I'm all, yeah, sure, whatever, trophy. Now I run into Miranda. So first I say, no, we're not in love. Because I ran into Liara first. Then, out of curiosity, I reload the save and say we are. And suddenly there's a whole bunch of dialogue I'm missing out on about a completely different topic. You're killing me, Bioware.

wow, I really like the look of your femShep

[aimforsilence]

Finished the game yesterday with just under 24hours in. Great game, very terrible ending!

[Denoku]

I'm wondering what ending people went with? I'm assuming they would all be different. They all can't be bad.

[Show spoiler] I chose to control the Reapers.

But I agree it was kind of lame.

Anyways, just started my Insanity-Vanguard playthrough. I love Vanguard!

I saw all the endings. They are all terrible. I am now starting my insanity playthrough.

The bioware forums are exploding with people pissed off about the endings. I would say more but it's not a good idea.

Thanks, that's probable why I'm currently playing her instead of my maleShep She definitely has a Felicia Day look to her with a bit of moxy too. I basically wanted her to be a scraper, since she's a soldier, colonist, sole survivor and I wanted that to reflect on how she looked. I've got a question for those who have wrapped things up. Does the keeper information Chorba was collecting come up again in the 3rd one? I know that Sheperd gets a message in 2 and it seemed to look like it was important in this one. Like

[Show spoiler]the keepers are somehow tied in with the reapers or protheans?

The ending feeling you guys are describing sounds like what I felt when the last Gears of War(3) came to a end. It was bittersweet and in the end the game didn't live up to the hype.

The best way to describe the endings without giving too much away is that it basically tells you that none of the decisions you made mattered in the end. Too much stuff came out of nowhere.

Why is there no mute for Co-op?! I hate it when people freaking play music on their mic. I don't want to hear your crappy music!

The romance is indeed a mess. I did Miranda in ME2, but also did something in my room with the Specialist and Liara, then I meet Miranda in ME3 and act like we're still getting together on the side or something. But, after not so much as innuendo, I end up kissing Liara and getting the romance trophy. Meanwhile, I wanted to do more than play games with Traynor, was not really into the reporter but was getting desperate. Finally, my Shepard has to have a reputation for being a womanizer and a non-manizer, but I still have to fight off Kaidan of all people, who has to know I had a thing going with Ashley in ME1.
