Apologies for Great Wall of Text. Busy day, too much to reply to in one sitting.

When did they mention destroy would kill ALL tech? I was under the impression destroy would kill reapers + synthetics + mass relays.[/quote]
The original plan was that destroy destroys
only the Reapers. Nothing else. Either the plan changed and it's supposed to destroy all sentient synthetics (the mass relays are destroyed because they overloaded sending the signal, not because the signal would target them)... or... the plan never changed and starbrat is just blowing smoke up our asses. It's hard to tell. On one hand, Jessica Merizan pretty much tells us flat out that it only destroys Reapers even going so far as to say that EDI surviving destroy is not a bug. On the other hand, few people put much stock in what she says anymore because she's sent so many mixed signals (insert sexist joke here). Still, it'd be crossing a new line for the community relations manager to falsely confirm something as not a bug. So I'm inclined to think there's something to it. Still, there's
very few reports of people seeing EDI come out of the Normandy after destroy. Rare enough to write it off as mistakes or lies. So maybe there's no bug because it's not happening to begin with. Back to the other side of the coin, it's very suspicious that the only synthetics we see kick the bucket are Reapers. Every other time an ally or group of allies dies for what Shepard has decided (right or wrong) is for the greater good, we see it happen.

I DID read what you posted. I don't agree. But I did read it.
But either way, I apologize for snapping at you, as well as the implication.[/quote]
In that case, sorry on my end too for getting so pissy about it.
[quote]Personally, I like the idea that they're following for DA3, every individual has their own unique looking outfit, yet when you equip a peice of armor, that part changes to something that the armor reflects, allowing customization, yet still letting each have a unique look.[/quote]
Hell I didn't even know they announced 3. Hopefully they do a lot better than they did with 2. Not just with giving players choices and then blatantly ignoring the answers, devising plots that revolve around every character being utterly retarded, ect. but they need to start following up on some of the mysteries. We all thought Witch Hunt and its false advertising was building up for DA2, but it went nowhere. None of the interesting enigmas were followed up on. Contrary to popular belief, there is an expiration date on the average fan's interest in a mystery angle. Remember ten years ago when Elder Scrolls fans were enthralled by the dwemer's disappearance? Now there's generally two types: those that are new to the series, having just started with Skyrim, and those that just don't give a flying **** about the dwemer anymore.

Huh. I suppose there is an argument to be made for trying the Allers romance once.

Marauder Shields is my favorite mass effect meme, but this one has longevity. I've even used it at work. It's even funnier because nobody gets the joke.[/quote]
=/ I seriously hate both of those meme's. Then again, there's very few I can stand. ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL didn't bother me too much for some reason. Marauder shields made me chuckle the first two times. Ten minutes later I wanted to hit people in the windpipe with a golf club.
Of course, nothing is as bad as the arrow to knee one. I'd like to take over the world just so I could make using that meme punishable by death. That's the only thing I would change. The greatest problem of our age is the arrow to the knee meme. It makes me wish the Reapers were real so that humanity would get what's coming to it.

How willing the Virmire survivor is to join you after the coup (and to stand down when you confront Udina) depends on how much they trust you, which is decided based on the factors listed here.
They can either completely trust you, somewhat trust you, be undecided, somewhat distrust you, or completely distrust you.

"Repeatedly asserting you're no longer with Cerberus during the Mars mission;" Wha? It's possible to NOT do that? It seemed like both paragon and renegade options were strongly asserting that.
Also, am I the only one who enjoys getting the VS to really trust you and want to come back only to tell them no? They're like a kicked puppy. That's for Horizon, ****.

Turns out the Talimancers were unhappy with her photo. I know, right? It was hard to tell because they bottle up their feelings so much.

Synthesis doesn't "line up" with the Geth Quarian peace because they chose that peace despite there differences. You are effectively forcing everyone to go through fundamental change on the subatomic level, caring NOT for peoples free will and individuality.
Plus it actually doesn't even solve anything from a critical perspective, true organics and synthetics can still be manufactured.
[/quote]
I asked my Magic 8-Ball if synthesis made any sense. It came up with "It's sodding retarded." That's not even on the little triangle thing! I don't know how the hell that was possible!

She didn't even mention shower. She just took a look at my shower and was like Ok, lets play chess now! I swear even my shep was surprised.[/quote]
Stupid question but, you're playing FemShep right? Traynor's gay. She's got no interest in Shepaloo's "assault rifle."

I am still very disappoint that at no point in the Joker/EDI romance did the following conversation take place:
Shepard: How can you date a ship anyway? It'd be like me dating a really fat lady. And living inside her. And she'd be all like... *ship noises*
Joker: Shepard, in order for me to get busy at maximum efficiency, I need a girl with a big 400 ton booty![/quote]
Ha! I remember when I jokingly said that my renedouche Shep told Joker "sitting in the Normandy's pilot seat is as close as you'll ever get to being inside your girlfriend" and a few people went looking for it on YouTube. Shame renegade Shepard isn't nearly as funny in 3 as he was in 1 & 2.

I wonder, if we made a poll, what the percentage of the total of all playthroughs played by everyone, that Kaidan lives. 1%? Is that too high?[/quote]
The only reason to spare Kaiden is to kill Ashhole.

Yknow, as much as I like Tali, if it really was an either/or choice like with the genophage cure, I'd probably choose the geth everytime.
The quarians have been the aggressors against the geth throughout their entire history. The geth have done nothing but defend themselves.
If you side with the geth, it isnt your fault the quarians got wiped out. You DID warn them after all, and they just kept firing.
Its hard to feel sympathy for the quarians.
Plus, even if Tali is your romance and she kills herself, you still get zombie Tali to come visit you before the attack on the Cerberus base, so you dont even miss out on your romance scene.
Siding with the geth is a win/win.[/quote]
Agreed. It's such a shame there was no way to kill the admirals (besides Koris and Tali) while still saving both. They completely deserved it. Especically that one Templeman was voicing. That one deserved to be
impaled.
[quote]Even if you didnt have high enough paragon/renegade, you still should have been able to rally the crowd and save her from exile.
So now the question is: did you turn Veetor over to Cerberus on Freedom's Progress or let Kal'Reegar die on Haestrom? Or both?[/quote]
You still don't get that option if you didn't chat up enough before going to the shuttle. I don't know if you have to talk to EVERYONE but I know just talking to Veetor and Reegar didn't give me the rally option before.
[quote]Yeah, but if she isnt an admiral, peace is impossible. At least you were closer to peace than he was.
Edit: Hmm, looking at that chart, it seems peace is actually possible if she isnt an admiral. I should test that sometime.[/quote]
According to the guide, you MUST keep Tali and Legion alive through ME2, do Legion's loyalty mission in 2, and the geth fighter squadron mission in 3. Only if those conditions are met do you get the point system. Otherwise it's auto-fail.

I rather save the civilians, don't really need him anyway.[/quote]
No offense intended, but you must be skipping too much dialogue then. At the start of the mission you're clearly told that without Koris to calm them, some of the civilian fleet captains will foolishly try to retreat to mass relay and get their ships destroyed. The war assets text confirms that this plays out exactly as Admiral Morrigan told you. Let Koris die and save several civilians. Save Koris and save several ships chock full of civilians. The choice is clear. If you save Koris and he gets back to the fleet and finds out what's going on, he even tells you that as much as he hates to admit it, it was the right call to save him and let his crew die. It saved far more people.

Well besides the fact that it would be stupid in a narrative sense we also see Harbinger effortlessly swatting down soldiers, tanks and aircraft. Shepard only gets to the beam (whether the scene is a dream or not) only because Harbinger decided to fly away. For some reason.[/quote]
I replaced his ritalin with tic-tacs.
