Mass Effect 3 (Also Mass Effect General I suppose?)

[GreigKM]

I hope they bring some Samara romance action into Mass Effect 3, even though I know for a fact that the only reason I want it is because I'm an unsatisfied prick who only wants what he can't have, and that when I can it will become boring and I'll be off to whine about the next character you can't romance... but... wait... I forgot where I was going with this...

They don't start being dicks until ME2 and the "Reapers" scene.

the turian councilor is always a dick to you. after every mission in Mass Effect 1, he is NEVER happy with what you do. according to him, if you release the rachni queen, you've doomed the galaxy, and if you kill the queen, you're pretty much Hitler. he's also a sarcastic douche regardless of what you do on Feros.

the "Ah, yes, 'Reapers'" bit just solidifies his dickishness.

i'm pretty much done with ME1 now, got my last achievement last night (beat Insanity), and i've played ME2 so many times i'm just doing DLC as it comes out.

oh and it should be noted that they are using a new engine for Mass Effect 3, and it's the one they use to port ME2 to the PS3.

If you do not check out this activity book, you are a terrible person. I mean, how else are you going to find out how many Drell it takes to screw in a lightbulb.

Oh yeah, do the Shepard!

[Zombaholic]

So apparently the PS3 version is going to look prettier. Thoughts?

[Sieg Reyu]

Anyone else compare Bioware's productivity to Blizzard's?

[SPACExJUMPxJOSH]

i dont know if any one gets this but i have game ethics, basicaly i can only seem to be good on good evil choice games, fable, fallout etc, but im tryin to play through me1 an me2 as renagade, sooo dificult for m to be bad xD dont no y, as the end of the day the inocents im shooting are just streams of data, so y do i feel like a bad person xD maby im wierd, or maby bioware deserve credit for making there games realistic enough for me to feel sorry for these ppl xD

[GreigKM]

I totally understand only being able to do the good thing in a game, then again I can only ever do the 'good' thing in real life, a good reason for me to never join the military... morality is an odd thing.

[Lyinginbedmon]

In other news I think the grammar and spelling nazi in me just had an aneurysm.

[Yaxley]

I also generally only play the good side. I think ME2 was a bit ambiguous about the morality of certain actions though. There is one minor side quest where you can go to a bar, and if you order a drink, the bartender poisons you. If you confront him about it, the Renegade option is "Kill Him" and the Paragon option is "Incite the Crowd." So I went Paragon and convinced the guy standing next to me to murder the bartender, which somehow seems worse than killing him myself.

Also, when I invited Kelly up to my quarters, I got +5 Paragon AND +5 Renegade, which I can only assume means I did something naughty, but I did it really well.

[SPACExJUMPxJOSH]

lol i agree, and grammer nazi lyinginbeddemon, i apologies for my terible spelling, im lazy when on forums xD also i just noticed you live in the next town along from me which is wierd xD

I am was confronted by this issue myself when I decided to make another Mass Effect character. I tried to go renegade, but couldn't stick with it. My solution, two simultaneous playthroughs, one good, one bad. That way I feel like I'm still doing the right thing, and the other one doesn't count.

I think it also helps to make your character into someone you don't mind being hated. I made my renegade look like Rusty Venture. Because I don;t think he's done a single paragon thing in his life.

Mass Effect is my favorite game series. I have played both games in the series and both of them were too good. Recently, I came to know that Mass Effect 3 will be the upcoming third and final game in the Mass Effect trilogy of video games developed by BioWare, and published by Electronic Arts, one of the big games of 2011 was unveiled.

[RobertMc123]

So does anyone else think the upcoming Mass Effect 2 DLC called "Arrival" is about how the Reapers get to our galaxy and land on Earth, neatly tying into Mass Effect 3? That's my theory.

[Jillers]

Maybe delving so deep into politics has ruined the whole 'evil politician' thing for me, but the council seemed quite reasonable in all the decisions they made, I mean, you can't just right up and kill someone because someone else says they killed some other guy. They don't start being dicks until ME2 and the "Reapers" scene.

Reapers, oh yes, we've "dismissed" that claim.

[Kyogissun]

Looking forward to 'Arrival' but hoping it's more than just DLC. I'm hoping it's a full blown expansion pack. A good 5-10 hours of gameplay, data conversion, increase of level cap to 40, new skills, new mechanics...

I want this DLC to feel like a genuine' bridging the gap' piece of content, rather than just some 'add on' and considering 'Arrival' got a full fucking page ad in the DA2 box, I'm hoping maybe it will be an expac.

[Jillers]

You know what I want, I want a freakin' Virmire Survivor DLC! I was faithful to Kaidan and all I get is a lousy "I hate you cause you're with Cerberus" and then an "I'm sorry" email.

I NEED RESOLUTION!

[Ollie, don'tcha know!]

So I just spent a few weeks going through ME 1 and 2, and Jesus are they good games. I also managed to make everyone survive the final mission in ME2 first time without walkthroughs, which is pretty cool. I think it kind of ruins the point if you have to go back a second time to get what you wanted.

Anyway, now that I've finished them, I need my ME fix, dammit! Anyone know if the DLC is available on disk or anything, seeing as I don't have Live?

[Robert Merlow]

I don't think that Bioware has released a DLC disk for ME2. I don't know when they'll do it in the future, or even if they will.

Is there any more information on Arrival? I haven't been able to find anything...

Alas poor Kaiden, you were my dearest friend!

Until Garrus came along

Until Garrus came along

I just couldn't do it. If I was gonna' have my lady Shepard sex anyone up on the Normandy it would have been Garrus (well... Joker really, but since he's not an option... I guess because sex with Shepard would break his pelvis), but I honestly could not do it.

I blame the voice actor. Because if it Kaidan wasn't voiced by Raphael Sbarge (aka Carth Onasi), I'dda been all over Liara. Or Garrus... or Liara AND Garrus.

[FFN]

Just finished Arrival. Kind of a weak DLC, especially after the Shadow Broker one.

[RobertMc123]

I just finished the Shadow Broker DLC finally, WOW, that was amazing. Considering I took Commander Shepard all the way through Mass Effect 1, formed a relationship with Liara and then was very unsatisfied with how her character when you meet her in Mass Effect 2, this DLC makes up for all of that, especially the end. One of the best scenes I have seen in a game between 2 characters. The scene itself felt very.... real, not in the graphics sense but how the scene played out, the dialogue the animation, everything about it. I can't say enough good things about Shadow Broker, it was an action packed mission with a brilliat pay off.
Will move onto Arrival soon, then it is just the wait for Mass Effect 3.

[Dave-O_Boy]

Oh Arrival is out?

*goes and buys it*
