I hear there is a way to get most of the items without actually buying the stuff, something about the codes always working. I don't know if the promotion is even around still, though...


Yep:  it'll run until Dec. 31st of this year, and the codes will be good until Jan. 31st of 2011.  As for the codes: buying something was never a requirement. You can snail-mail in a request for a free code and they'll give it to you. They've apparently made them non-reusable though, so unless someone discovers a new trick, you're stuck getting them the hard way.  Before, you could re-use a single code to get all three just by making multiple Dr. Pepper accounts using made-up personal info.

EDIT:  I also thought of why this was ultimately cut.  Shepard was alive for two months after the battle of the citadel.  It would be very very odd for him not to have heard about his death and about Cheliks promotion in that time.


I'm thinking that was part of it, and they may have thought better of killing Pallin.  However, I think that they mostly just wanted to go with the "You're officially dead" thing because it makes more sense in context and/or they just liked it better.   It's yet another of the numerous bureaucratic snafus that have been happening post-Sovereign:  you get this personal invite from Anderson,  so you dutifully show up, learn that "You humans are all racist!", and then set off the security scanner anyway.

Nice find. Thanks for making and posting the video! (You also get a little taste of this if you postpone talking to Bailey until after your Council meeting, but one doesn't need to mod the game for that.)

Hmm... I always thought Pallin was dead anyway (haven't read Retribution yet).  In one of the cut scenes in the final battle in ME1, there is a ship that appears to be captained by Pallin that is destroyed.  But you know humans, can't tell Turians apart...  Image IPB

Man, why is all of this stuff missing from the game? And why do you always use FemShep's voice BTW? Did they record the lines for male Shepard?

Any idea where I might find the address to send a snail mail request to?

Interesting... If Retribution hadn't pegged Pallin as still being alive, I'd have used these lines as proof that Chellick is indeed the new C-Sec Executor. Thanks for the find anyway, OP. :)

Uh, yeah. Sorry. It's on the rules page:

Yeah, they did record them.  I use Femshep because I feel like it, basically. I just prefer Hale.    That and I deleted the majority of the Maleshep lines.  I didn't need to hear everything a second time in a different register. It was taking long enough already to find stuff, even skipping past stuff that I knew for certain was in the game.  The exception was the romance dialogue, since there's some actual  difference between the two, and therefore the possibility of extra lines to find.

Awww, bummer. You have to be a US resident to get one.  Once again Canadians get the shaft. :(

Yeah, Pallin's still Executor. Retribution confirms that.



Which is nice, since I like Pallin more than Chellick. I'm glad they kept him alive.

should we take these cut audio logs as canon?

damn I don't remember reading that. Also I would prefer Chellick over Pallin.
