Though if I won I'd just go there and shout abuse at Bioware! Could hold them hostage with a banana disguised as a gun and force them to write a new ending.

....lol, I have absolutely no idea what to say about that.

It says final hours of production to ME3. I expect to see footage of them all falling over drunk. Only way the endings make sense.

Trying to figure out how to wrangle this into my Dragon Age settings so that I can use it as my forum avatar. I managed to snag this one as my FemShep is telling Kaidan that she loves him.



(Yes, I am a total geek fangirl who had her FemShep in that slinky ass black dress during every Kaidan cutscene. <_< Don't judge me!)

Pretty much, yeah.

Since all of my Shepards are basically the same (Paragon, romanced Kaidan) I decided to make a new one since I have nothing better to do! I had to kill Kaidan on Virmire so he wouldn't tempt me

Ohh I couldn't do that. But it was ok upon till now as mSheps couldn't romance him. (Might be hard not to romance him with all my other mSheps now) 
But I tried to import into ME2 with Kaidan dead, but when his face showed up on the Normandy crash site thing, I couldn't take it. And with ME3, seeing his name on the memorial wall would just make me cry

It's ok, I felt like a complete dweeb dressing my Shep all purdy-like for our date.

Of course then I decided I wanted to load up an old save and kick Garrus' butt in shooting bottles while in the dress.
I couldn't take away his happiness when you lose to him in my canon playthrough but it was extra awesome to see my FemShep shoot a sniper in a dress somehow.

I like what you did with you ME3 Shepard, I agree the faces are longer. I just wished I could have gotten my eyes right. But quick question, how did you get pics of your Shep of the xbox to the pc? 

In regards to DA2, I agree the scenes were extremely over used but I liked the story.  I was so glad my champion had a voice unlike my warden. Still love my warden though!

I have a device called a Happauge HD-PVR (High Definition Personal Video Recorder) which I use Component Cables from my 360 or PS3 to plug in to the box, which then comes with cords that plug in to the TV (so you can still play while recording). Then, I hook up the USB cord from the box to my laptop, using a program called ArcSoft Total Media Extreme to capture footage from the PVR onto my laptop. It's pretty simple from there, just play the game, press record when you want to record, press stop when you want to stop.

From there, I open the video file in Windows Media player, get to the part I want a shot of, pause it, go fullscreen mode, then press FN + Print Screen to capture the laptop's screen. Then, I open paint, click paste, and the screenshot appears!

After that, I save it as a Paint PNG file, then open Photoshop (I personally use CS5, but any version would work, really) and edit the picture as needs be. ME3 has REALLY dynamic lighting, a lot of contrast and not much brightness in certain scenes, plus there appears to be a cyan overlay throughout a lot of the beginning. 

For this shot in particular, I went from this (unedited screen shot) to this (edited). The steps I used to edit were:
- Exposure, increase the gamma and brightness just slightly.
- Added photo filter (Warming x86) to get rid of the pale, ghostly, blue look
- Added a slight S curve to the RBG curves to enhance the contrast, giving a deeper look.
- Pulled the darkness levels up to get rid of the underexposed-ness.
- Created a layer via copy of just Shepard (cut out using the magic wand tool with a feathering of 3%)
-  Used the Dodge tool, set to Shadows with 50% exposure, and applied it to the entire original photo (not the layer mask of Shep, though).
- Added a slight Gaussian Blur to the background, to make Shep appear more in focus
- Adjusted Hue/Saturation levels, pulling out the dark blues, reds, magentas, and yellows, while slightly lowering the cyans.

And there ya have it 


Or you could, you know, just use your cell phone and snap a shot of your TV  This is one of those moments where all we console players envy the PC people and their screenshot buttons.

Thank you, thank you for the details.  I really want to try this.  I have tried to snap a pic with my digital camera but of course its too bright.  That's was awesome of you to spell it out.  High Five!

[Kaidan Fan]

This is completely non Kaidan related, but I have ME and ME2 for my PC now and the textures in ME are so horrible I can't even bring myself to play it. Is there a way to make them better? I have a super hopped up computer, its just ME that looks horrible

[Kia Purity]

Kaidan found a Geth... in the driver's seat!

What kind of camera do you use? I've actually gotten shots before using my camera, it can work fairly well too. The trick is to set your camera on a slightly slower shutter speed (I believe I used 1/20 of a second), put the ISO around 400, White Balance on "Shade" mode (that would depend on the camera in question, though) and the aperture anywhere above f8. Then turn off all the lights in the room, and hold your camera steady as you take the shot straight on. 
Along with that, I put my flash on -3 EV and set it to a Rear Curtain Sync, just to add a little extra light. But depending on the type of TV you're taking a photo of, that could also just result in an ugly glare.

Yes! I almost cried right there and I can't properly explain why to my family. I guess it takes personally pulling someone out of hell to appreciate the fact that they can live on. I was extra pissed when I met his brother though and was glad my Shep reflected that. Does anyone know what happens if you left David behind though?

Also, everytime I brought Kaidan on a geth mission all I could think was "I found them!":lol:

Edit: 

Does anyone have twitter? Gotta question for Sam Hulick.

Remember when he released the romance theme, and he said that one of romances worked particularly well with it?  But he wouldn't say who because the game hadn't been released.  Anyone wanna ask now that the game is out? 

after watching all the love scenes on youtube, I'd go with Liara's.. definitely!

[juleshawk]

Okay finished my first run through and - wow, what the, huh? Found myself still tearing up just thinking about it.

Game is great, the scenes with Kaidan are great, especially that last goodbye and it seems I managed to get all of the good conversations.  But the ending - yeah.  I can understand Shep sacrificing herself, it's in her nature but the bit with the Normandy???  If this is a new beginning for the human race how do you get children with Joker, Kaidan and Garrus?  And even with 5400 plus I didn't get the scene with her still breathing in the rubble.  Is it just me or does the old man sound like TIM and the kid like the end AI?

The sex scene is good - I thought the one in ME1 was classier.  But what's with the underwear?  You've just had this amazing romp in the hay, curled up to go to sleep after but stopped to put your underwear back on .  I'm not asking for full frontal nudity, although that might be nice with Kaidan, but surely we could have lost it somehow.  I can just picture it:

Shep: that was amazing and I love you but I need to find my underwear so you don't see me completely naked.
Kaidan: yeah, wouldn't want to embarass you too much!

I'll do another run through just to see if I can get that still breathing scene - might help my understanding it a little!

I'll go back to finishing my fanfics now.

It's a canon powershot.  I just got it so I will have to play around with it alittle. Do you think having some sort of backlight would help?

and to reply above, I thought the kissing scenes were much better in ME3.  Anyone else agree?

To get the breathing scene, you need an EMS of 5,000+ (which you had), and you need to choose the Destroy option (red, on the right). All the other endings, regardless of EMS, Shepard dies. 
And don't lose hope! There's a lot of evidence suggesting that there's more to come after the end, whether it's additional DLC, a new ending, an expansion pack, a revelation that the ending was actually indoctrination, etc. Check out the Story section of the forum, so many people have dug up good theories.

I use a Canon EOS Rebel T3i, so I believe your camera has similar settings to mine. As for backlight, I think that depends on your TV. Mine has a LCD anti-glare backlit screen, which makes it a lot easier to get pictures. If your screen produces a lot of glare, you might just be adding too much light by throwing in extra lighting. 
I'd try getting a shot with the lights off and no flash with your ISO set to 400. If that comes out overexposed, try going lower to 200. Canons are typically really good at dealing with light levels 

Alright, I think I'm going to try messing with this for a minute. If I find a better method of using a camera, I'll post it!

Does anyone else get a glitch with the music that plays during the first hospital scene with Kaidan and Femshep? It works fine with my broshep, but the track skips and then plays twice, each track slightly out of sync with eachother so it sounds really freaky in what should be a touching moment.

I got that glitch. The out of sync music kinda...ruins the moment. Ha ha.

Didn't Liara get a slightly longer romance scene in ME1 too?  Her powers were so useful for the game but I started leaving her out of my party because I thought her random mission comments were getting precedent over Kaidan's.  Like the scene in Thessia where Kai Leng blows up the structure and you fall in the hole, I was waiting and waiting for romanced Kaidan to come rescue me for a change.  But nope, it was the required squadmate Liara.

If I recall correctly, you HAVE to bring Liara with you to Thessia. 

But yeah, doing my second playthrough right now, and I'm curious about how much dialogue Liara takes in place of Kaidan. I typically brought both of them along as my perma-squad. Any suggestions on who to replace Liara with? Maybe Vega, does he have good banter with Kaidan?

Yeah, I was kinda sad cause I took Kaidan everywhere and the required squad mate was always saving me.

Hey everyone, just joined the forums not to long ago. It's nice being among fellow Kaidan fans.i love Kaidan, he's such a sweetheart. <3

Anyway, just started playing Mass Effect 3 yesterday. So far it looks awesome...but I'm not enjoying it as much as I should knowing how it's gonna end I don't know, I wanna play but I've been putting it off cause I just feel so sad. (I got the game last week and startd playing it yesterday). God i hope Bioware gives us a better ending. *sighs*
