There's got to be a bug with the salarians.  I just did an eavesdropping quest on the Citadel and on completion got a pop up for the Salarian Third Fleet as a war asset but all I've got listed is the STG and Kirahee.


I don't think that's a bug.  Doing that quest boosts the 3rd fleet, but the 3rd fleet only joins you if you saved the Destiny Ascension and the Salarian Councilor

It's like you can get boosts to Hanar or Batarian forces, before the Hanar or Batarians decide to help you.

...what the frack?

I play single player BECAUSE its single player.

"Ramsdale used FIFA by way of an example. "Imagine a player gets up in the morning, plays an online match on his 360 before going to work," he said. "On the bus, on his way to work, he practices his free kicks on his tablet. At lunch he looks at the transfer window on his PC. On the way home he chooses his kit on his smartphone."

I have breakfast in the morning with my family, I drive to work, at lunch I sit and eat with other people, on the way home I might do some shopping or some errands, then when I get home I do housework / study / work and spend time with my family.

I want to play games I can pause, stop WHENEVER I want, whenever its convienant for me - not some arbitraty system you design so you can gouge / charge (whatever you want to call it) players.



Frack you. You morons.


Quoted for truth. Stop trying to ruin my fun in gaming.



Seriously. Morons. :mellow:


And just like that any hope I had for Dragon age 3 is gone!

thank god I just bought Baldurs gate



I'm starting to get a pang to revisit the Sword Coast and hear once again that call to arms..."You must gather your party...!"  I wonder if the original will still work in Windows7?  5 cds I seem to recall!

I recommend the Baldur's Gate Trilogy WeiDu mod, though this requires both Baldur's Gate games and their respective expansions.  This enables you to, if you wish, begin the original Baldur's Gate with character classes or customization kits introduced in the sequel.  If you use this modification, then you should also investigate the tweak/fixpack for Baldur's Gate Trilogy, which addresses a few minor issues.  One of these fixes should be applied only after transitioning to Baldur's Gate 2, however the WeiDu mod installers allow for installation of individual components so the task is not difficult.

I recommend also using the Ascension mod.  The Unfinished Business mods are optional, though The Kidnapping of Boo (in Baldur's Gate 2) is highly recommended.

I'll have to look into that, thanks for the pointer.  Image IPB  I seem to recall using something like BG1Tutu the last time I played it - some years ago now.

Oh, apologies all for this discussion going off-topic, but what is one to do when one gets tired of repeating oneself, over, and over, and over again?  Image IPB

I should note also that while Baldur's Gate features a multipayer option, you may view all of the possible endings at the conclusion of the series regardless of whether you made use of it.

Please provide visual documentation of your Total Military Score in excess of 14,000.  Thank you.


That is an EMS score.  I have played mp a lot to get my N7 rating too 1000 which has added around 2500 war assets.  With all of that I still haven't crossed the 10k ems line.

I'm pretty sure he knows. 14,000 points in Total Military Strength at 50% readiness would equal 7000 EMS.

The difference between Effective Military Score and Total Military Score, and that the reported issue is an inability to attain an Effective Military Score in excess of 4000 without incresing Galactic Readiness, has been explained extensively within this discussion.  I am certain, then, that permeus2nd, having consciensously read prior postings so as to fully understand the relevant subject, was issuing a statement regarding his or her acquired Effective Military Score.

Yes I know. My response was more too show that even after having played mp as much as I have I still haven't been able to get to 10k ems. Yeah my GR is at 100% or close too it on any given day but a few months from now if I stopped playing would be back to 50% and I still wouldn't qualify for the "best" ending. I guess my point is it takes more than just a little mp to affect your ems score.

Such faith you have in humanity....

Incidentally I'm sure Bioware could avoid issues if they just said oops its a bug fix is forthcoming.

This, the endings and the face import bug are all under the same umbrella of 'admit no error.'

Its also technically correct, you still got all three ending choices, you just can't get all ending content.

BioWare staff explicitly claimed all single-player content accessible through single-player gameplay only.  Thus, their claim is not technically correct.

There is no hurry - no sense in playing ME now, before Ending DLC is released, and all the damage is done already anyway. They may take their sweet time with it if they want. The fans are pissed at them anyway, dozens of reasons for that.

Let's just keep this thread near the top to remind them we did not forget about this screw up.

WOW still nothing eh? Maybe each of us should start individual threads about this and see what type of response is given when the MODS shut/lock them down.

Well considering how long it took them to fix the face import bug my hope for bioware fixing this problem is really low.

But the face import bug is difficult or perhaps impossible to fix. This is so easy.

I did that yesterday in the spolier thread - not checked, but earlier it was still open!  Mind you I did ask them in it to come over here and talk to us when they locked the other one down.....

The very least they could do (aside from acknowledging they made a mistake) is port the apps for Android and/or other platforms?! Or if they're too tied up with Apple contracts for that, then make equal but separate apps for other platforms.


I'm sorry, but no. Not everybody has a smartphone or an iPad. Everything should be unlockable inside the game in SP mode, just as they promised.


I completely agree that the game is broken without being able to experience it in it's entirety in SP. Definitely! But the fact that it has some iOS options aside from multiplayer is like pouring salt into everyone's wounds. Yes, not only do a lot of people not have iPhones/Pads, but also many do not have smartphones at all - which is why I suggested Android and other platforms (there could easily be a Chrome app if there's an Android app, which can be used by anyone with a computer).

I'm not saying it would make the problem with EMS in the game better by any means, but the entire ordeal would be at least a little less... offensive, if the apps weren't exclusive to iOS. It's bad enough that MP is part of the equation. I really don't want to play MP, but I might at least be interested to see and play a FREE app that I can access via the web or my Android phone. So your an Xbox user who doesn't have Live Gold, and has no iPhone or iPad? Sorry, you don't have access to the full game experience!

They should just up the base ems and be done with it.
Can we please stop with the apple exclusive contract line? Proof of arrangement or let it go.
Honestly I don't see why datapad can't be browser based, but it shouldn't be required regardless.
