anybody got a problem buying packs for MP
I always failed to buy one and lose credits for that

I have absolutely no problems with packs, but since I only play ME3 on xbox (for right now), I couldn't say if there is a problem with them on Origin or not. Sorry!

Pic pulled from google:
*snip awesome Kaidan pic*

yeah probably Origin messing with my account <_<
thanks

I often get an error, but when I exit the game and come back in, I always have the stuff from the packs. Sometimes it's stuff you already have - a weapon upgrade or character upgrade, but I always have more equipment and medigels and stuff, and I'm always finding characters with new colors or weapons that have been upgraded.

I found that if I buy my pack before I leave the game I'm in, it doesn't bug out.

Same here and I know there are more who have this problem. But as far I can say, when you exit the game and go back the things usually show up. So I usually exit and then check my stuff again. But it's still very annoying. 

@Bekkael I only play the MP. After finishing my first playthrough I tried a second run, but I stopped after Mars. At least I was able to enjoy the Kaidan romance in this playthrough

I hate to say this, but the ending has kinda spoiled the beauty of the Kaidan romance for me. I could have loved ME3 so much, but that damn ending. Curse it! Even after so many weeks, it still hurts. I can't even hope for anything good from the extended cut, as I don't want to risk more disappointment. *sigh* We shall see....

*hugs*...I know what you mean, just the imagination to say good-bye in London again, cuts worse like a knife ...and yes, even after weeks I haven't make my peace with these endings and I'm with you (even so I use my own head canon now) and yes,  I'm careful with my hopes for the extended cut as well...We will see how it works out...

But I try to see the good parts, too...and one of it is, that my Shepard got her Kaidan back. He was so sweet and adorable...*sighs*...The romance was well done and I enjoyed every single moment of it.

And at least I can play MP, which is a lot fun with friends and so I have at least the feeling not all my money I spent in 2 Collector Editions (one for PC and one for Xbox) is wasted

It was me that mentioned VAST

I actually know quite a few people who are into Mr Crosby's music.  My sister used to work for him, so through that I know of many lol, always good to meet new ones.

Ugh! I have this fanfic idea eating at my brain - but it demands an art accompaniment that means I have to replay 1, 2, and 3 again. I don't know if I can make it through 2 again. Bah!

Have some Kaidan while I grumble at him for demanding this story:

Oh hun, I feel for you!  If it makes you feel any better I'm at that stage too, facing ME2 is just. .  You're not alone, and if it keeps you writing then..well, I'll support you!

Don't know if anyone has seen this yet, but I just found this Shenko video on youtube (it only uses music from ME3) ...so beautiful , and so sad ....

I was wondering where all this sudden clicks and like for my little video came from.
And here is the source xD I'm so glad you like it!

All this dialogues are from extracted  audiofiles...I think not all of them are in the end game!
Like the future-talk between anderson and shepard!  Too bad, especially these are one of my favourite lines between them!  




Thank you so much for posting and watching this!   Shenko and always will!  Even after that crappy ending!

Good morning, people. Thanks again for all of the music suggestions! I've updated the playlist with the songs you've mentioned overnight, as well as a couple of my own picks. The playlist is now 71 songs deep, which is pretty crazy considering it was just an idle idea yesterday afternoon. I spent much of the night listening to it and it's been completely awesome and even inspired me to take out my notebook and pencil and start scribbling. So thanks for that! :happy:

I just wanted to say, I totally get where you're coming from here. I don't want to get my hopes up for the Extended Cut either because honestly, my trust in this team is just really shaken, but all we can do is wait and see, I guess.  That being said, the romance progression with Kaidan is one of the only reasons I CAN still play ME3.

Confession time; I really didn't like Kaidan at all for the longest time. The first time I played through Mass Effect, it ws kind of a rush job, and even though I'd romanced him it was kind of more because he was the only option (Liara was never an option ). I never really spent any time listening to him, just did the bare minimum.

Then ME2 came along, and that whole... thing... on Horizon, and I was just pissed off. Then the email afterwards; I'm sure everyone here has their own tales of hurt, but mine wasn't empathy for Shep's heartache, so much as it was like my pride had been wounded. This nothing character that I didn't really like anyways had just totally shut me down. Say what?! Anyways... that Shepard went on to romance Garrus like, immediately.

It took a long time before I went back and gave Mass Effect 1 another try, and even longer until I did it again with a FemShep. I went into the Kaidan romance again with a more open mind, a more patient Spacebar, and I was kind of taken aback at how much I actually liked his character; I appreciated why he was the way he was and sympathised with him in a way I hadn't been able to before when I neglected his backstory. The next time Horizon came around, I dreaded it going in, knowing what was going to happen, and it still pissed me off, but it was different. It was hurt.

Queue ME3 and I was just totally swept off my feet. I had done a Sheploo/Ash run the first time around, and it was okay, but nothing special. Ash is just such a different character, and her trust issues were almost stifling. In contrast to his character, there's a distinct lack of reservation with Kaidan in ME3. He totally wears his heart on his sleeve and makes no secret of his love for Shepard, doesn't tease or tiptoe around it, it's just there, deal with it. I was so bewitched by him that one of mt FemSheps who had "cheated" with Thane felt so freaking guilty that she broke up with a dying man to crawl back to Kaidan's open, patiently waiting arms. REALLY?!?! What happened?!


Since ME3 dropped, I have done two full, complete FemShep runs through Mass Effect 1 and 2, and partial runs through ME3, just to experience the Kaidan romance again. It's hard to describe, but there's a sort of comfort in going back to where it all began, watching the awkwardness and the frustration mature and finally come to fruition. The ending sucks balls, but I can always just shut it off before I get that far. And that's a comrpomise I can live with for now.

Christ, that was a lot of useless words.

Long story short, Kaidan...

Lovely to read how our favourite biotic broke you down!

I love his character and his history, I really relate to that on a personal level, not that I've ever murdered anyone but you know when the survivors guilt comes around, I relate to that.  I never liked Ashley anyway, her xenophobia...sorry just, is at odds with who I am as a person, I'm one of those people that puts myself in my characters in games and femshep is no different.

I don't know, to me Kaidan and femshep feel like soulmates, no other way to describe it.  I can't ever not romance him, I just can't do it, I can't cheat on him either.  The most frustrating part of ME2 to me is getting past the door on Horizon, I HATE bypassing with a passion and I get annoyed because I know I have to get past it to see Kaidan!  Argghh.  The mail he sends after the encounter never makes me angry, it's actually kinda sweet and it's clear how he still feels, perhaps that's why I just can't cheat on him lol

[Gtacatalina]

I can see that smile

I'm also not holding out too much hope for the ending dlc. 

What's wrong with wanting my Kaidan to be together with my Fem Shep at the end? Especially after everything they've been through.

Since I'm derailing the thread anyways.... anybody tried Witcher 2 on xbox yet?  I keep almost buying it and then remembering that, technically, I no longer get a paycheck.

Yep, I started it yesterday and got through the prologue (took a couple of hours) and into the first part of Chapter 1. It's really multi-layered and has tons of traditional RPG stuff (proper inventory, more strategic style of battle, LOTS of quests that affect the direction of the story). You can tell this game was made for PC, but I think they've done a fabulous job with the console version. I plan to take my time with it. I'm less than thrilled to have to play as a man, but I am hoping the story and experience are worth it.

Currently, I'm rather addicted to ME3 MP. I unlocked a Batarian Sentinel last week on the day the DLC came out, and I finally got a Geth Infiltrator (pink armor, named him Gig-a-byte), and an Asari Justicar. I still don't have a single Krogan of ANY class. I have every other race, but...no Krogan. I think I will continue to play obsessively until I get one.

As for Kaidan, I haven't done much single player lately. I have about 4 playthroughs started, but I lose momentum on them very quickly after I get past Mars. MP is far less depressing.

Hey, thanks!  I'll pick it up soon then.  It would be nice to play a game in which my choices are actually reflected.  Hrrmm.  I'm not playing ME3 SP anymore either.  I got my cannon Shepard to London and quit.  Even though I enjoy most of the game, especially the Citadel Coup mission, I just don't have another playthrough in me right now.  Guess I'll have to wait until the summer to decide if I'll actually finish it.  Or I can just leave her there on Earth with Kaidan for all eternity.

MP though is another story.  I will unlock that Turian Sentinel.

Nothing wrong at all, it's all I want too, it was the biggest punch in the gut to me.  It's quite a popular thing, a reunion with the LI, I'd say it's the most important thing in most people's minds, from what I've gathered anyway.

Yeah, that's very much the realisation that I've come to now as well. There's just something so perfect about them together, regardless of what kind of Shepard I'm playing. For my more Renegade Shepards, he's like a port in the storm. For my more Paragon Shepards, he's the support that keeps her from crumbling under the weight of her responsibilities. 

I enjoy the idea of the duplicity they have, too. That no matter which public persona I have picked my Shepard for a given playthrough, there is always a secret Shepard as well, one that only Kaidan knows, one hidden away behind closed doors and in stolen glances. I have all these lovely little vingettes in my mind that I've started to write down, private conversations and just...time. More time. It helps to soothe the burn.

I should try writing all my little thoughts and inner dialogues down too lol

You should turn them into fanfic, I'd never been one for it before, but I read Ainyan's and it's just fantastic, she writes in a way that I can relate to, I think because it's how I would write the same thing, sentence structure, description, the emotions conveyed etc, it's familiar to me!  She's very good at writing in a way that relates to my Shenko relationship, I figure our Shepards must be similar lol

It's got me interested in reading other's now too.  We all need that head cannon right now don't we.

I have a Sheploo, but I don't really like him all that much.  So I can do it, but it's definitely less fun for me.  Growing up, I had to play as a dude all the time.  There just wasn't an option to have a female PC until I was in college.

I have a Sheploo.  He is still on the citadel (his first visit there) in ME1.  I just can't get into it, lol.  As for when I was growing up, I got to play as a centipede, a missle thingie that shot at aliens, pac man and the like.   I'm old

I've contemplated it. I've never been a huge fanfic kind of person either, since there's so much out there that is just so terrible and, frankly, scary...but since joining the Bioware community I have definitely warmed to it and have read some truly extraordinary works. This company tends to attract a more...uh...literate fanbase, to say the least. It's refreshing.

I'm just so out of practice, and what I have in my head is just so scattered. There's no cohesive narrative, it's just a bunch of random scenes. Still, I figure I'll just write them down and see what comes of it, even if it's just to get them out of my head.



RE: The Witcher, it was definitely a more difficult game for me to get into due in large part to the protagonist. It's just the real drawback in dealing with a set character like that; Geralt is always Geralt is always Geralt. Sure, you have different choices you can make, but his personality never really changes, his backstory is always the same... He's okay (I enjoyed TW2 a lot more than the first, he had a bit more personality and the whole game was a lot brighter, visually and thematically), but it's a very different beast than a Bioware title. Even if Bioware sometimes only offers the illusion of choice, there's enough blanks in what they give for you to bring your own ideas to the table. Not so much with The Witcher.

I'll just say for the record that Ka…the major was entirely too ready to mistrust Auska to continue anywhere with him. Left him on the Citadel to boot, can't have someone constantly doubting your every decision on a mission like this.
