Hey, I never wanted to romance Jacob in the first place so don't lecture me on saves

just saying...
I have more saves on my hard disc than you can imagine. Yet, I rather go back and start over again, I love this game so much anyway, I don't mind playing it all over again after finishing one playthrough

I noticed that I get a lot of glitches, when I play the game from old saves on actually. I twice encountered a glitch during Tali's loyalty mission for example when playing it from old saves with different careers. Right at the start when talking to her aunt (can't remember the name) before the trial even starts, I don't get the first conversation with her but hit a glitch and land right after the trial when Tali yells at her for not telling her about her father. Yet, I can't talk to the admirals and stuff and have to reload. Then it works. Happened twice from old saves, never from a newly started career. Or when coming back from Pragia and the cat fight is supposed to happen, I always end up right in the middle of the galaxy map instead of where Shepard usually stands and can't move from there. Always have to do a quick load there to get that right - but only when I play from an old save to see how different dialogue options affect the game, never when I play a Shepard that I just started. It's really weird. Don't know if that's just me. Also I have sometimes Shepard talking to thin air when playing from old saves. My dialogue partner just isn't there, like Captain Bailey when doing Thane's loyalty missions. So you see, I rather go and start all over again instead of dealing with stuff like that. Rather have a new Shepard that develops than that.
