@spork_fu: I did one game where I had Tali die just to see the Rannoch arc without her. It was a sad game and I ditched it as soon as the arc was over. I have never done ME3 without Garrus. From what I can tell it all it does is lead to a lot less dialogue. I have seen the Palaven mission without Garrus on youtube. I guess the only thing you get by not having Garrus is the special Traynor butt-watching scene after Tuchanka.

We get to the Citadel and find out Cerberus is attacking. We help Bailey and he tells us that the attack occured in the last hour. Shepard leads us to find the Salarian councilor. We fight through numerous Cerberus soldiers. We find the councillor who is face-to-face with an assassin. Oh crap. Oh crap. He just killed the councillor. Oh Goddess. We have to warn the other councillors. We end up in another part of the ward after our skycar is damaged. More Cerberus soldiers and ones I've never seen before. James makes an amusing comment about chopping off their hand. We make our way to the elevator and hopefully get to the councillors.
What the heck? Why is Shepard pointing her weapon at me? This isn't good. Going by the look on her face, she won't hesitate to shoot. I turn around to have Udina step away when Shepard shoots him.
I tell Shepard that the assassin got away through the keeper tunnels and that all the vids have no footage of him. Many lives were lost. I telll her I need to get to the hospital to check on some people.
I spot Commander Shepard and ask her for help. I introduce myself, Jordan Noles. I tell her about some Batarian codes and see if she could take a look. Minutes later, Shepard finds some that were used in the hospital and I shut them down. Shepard finds more and I again shut them down. I see her on the docks with a Batarian standing behind her. The Batarian leaves and Shepard tells me to let him go. I thanks her for her help.
As I'm checking the medical stations, I see Conrad Verner. Why even bother? He joined Cerberus. Why? Alright. I tell him to stay put while I fix this. Once all the stations are fixed, Conrad notices his contact. He pulls out a gun and fires at me. Conrad took a bullet for me. Should I kiss the guy or not? It turns out Jenna, someone I helped when I was chasing Saren, overheated the weapon. Conrad thanks her and they walk away.
I can't believe they didn't find me. There's the Commander. I thank her for saving me again. If she didn't tell me to change my looks and name, I would be dead.
I'm just standing here looking at Robert's picture. It still hurts thinking about him. Shepard comes by and asks if I'm alright. I walk forward and place the picture on the memorial. I thank Shepard for coming by.
Ah. There she is. I talk with the Commander about what happened with Udina and that Hackett offer me a position to help with the Crucible. Shepard wants me on the Normandy. That's good enough for me. Thanks Commander.
I learn the assassins's name is some loser named Kai Leng. I also learn from Hackett that the Asari have given some fleets for support. Good. He also mentions to talk with the Quarians about getting their fleet to help. Looks like I have work to do.
I tell Shepard about Asari high Command would like for her to check on what happened to several Asari commando units gone missing.
I explain to the Commander about finding some Cerberus scientists that could help with the Crucible project. And with a heavy heart, I tell her I was on Horizon when the Collectors attacked. Shepard was shocked to hear that. I thanked her for her time.
I go down to talk with Dr.Chakwas. She tells me about someone named Tactus who could give some medical supplies that we need in exchange for the supplies we have. I tell her the next time I'm at the Citadel, I will look into it.
Now this is a cabin I would like to have when I get my own ship. I ask the Commander about the N7 program and that I was offered to join just as the reapers attacked. I explained the mission I was on when the collectors attacked a colony. She told me I should join since it offers the best training and best equipment. I will consider what she said.
What's this? Traynor wants to come up for fun and games. Damn right I want some fun. Well, well, Traynor. You did one heck of a number on me. You got me smiling ear to ear and sweating. I will give you a promotion after this war is over, until that time, I want her to use me anyway she see's fit.
I have Joker head back to Tuchanka to see about this Cerberus bomb.

Without having Garrus in ME3 and if you have Tali in ME3, Tali and Traynor exchange some dialogue after Thessia over the intercom.. If both Garrus and Tali are alive in ME3, they have dialogue after Thessia between each other and Traynor doesn't talk with Tali.

I would have liked to seen this scene developed a little more fully.
Sabotaged the genophage woth Eve and Wrex dead. about to do noveria (jacob mission) and after that Omega DLC.











And now it's time to go to the Citadel, Udina's up to something.













Tianshi should never have made Udina councilor. But it's good to have Ashley back.
Team set up will change, Javik and Ashley will be my main squad now.
Your Shep is hawt! And that for a white chick...
Everyone keep the racism card in your pocket, I'm a white guy, I can b*tch about white chicks
Damn, I actually tried to make her Asian lmao. But maybe that is why
I tried googling for Shepard face codes for Asian female but all I got were really generic mediocre looking faces all involving super narrow slanted eyes, thin lips, angular mousy face, tiny nose. I hated that, I know alot of azn chicks, including myself, who look nothing like that so I tried to make my current Shep reflect that without botching her up. She looks more Asian in some shots like 
![]()
I hope ME4's character creation gets a huge improvement in that aspect. For all 3 games there is not much you can do to make Shep look both attractive and interesting without using the same traits ![]()
Only Asians in Asian tv shows are that white ![]()

The ways things have worked out in this trilogy run, shep doesn't have any use for quarians at all. It kinda surprised me as I was picking dialogue options, but I went with it. Tali ended up being the only one who wasn't loyal. As for Garrus, I really thought Miranda could hold that bubble. ![]()
Threw my guns on the Citadel! I don't need them anymore!

What is that gun on the far left?

Which one in particular? Color, maybe?

The ...uhhh... Predator on the far left. I didn't see the barrel of the gun, heh. note to self: increase monitor brightness.

Hahaha! LOL! You thought the Predator and the Revenant were one gun? Lol. It does kind of seem like it if you can't see the barrel of the gun.
This may be a bit crude, but holy cow - is Ash smuggling bowling balls in her top or something?
I know everyone got a boob job in ME3 (Calling fanservice to Table 6, Table 6 for fanservice) but I didn't realise it was that bad. Although her lying down in the hospital with her painted on top is another example come to think of it.

Lol, all I could see at first was the silver. I thought it was some kind of new pistol or SMG, like something out of MP that I knew nothing about.

In ME1, it's like what the gamerpoop said "That's a hell of a gamble...but I'm gonna risk it...for t*ts." Do you want her in ME3, because of her plastic surgery or not?

Well, MP does have more guns in which I'm jelly about!

Indeed. Although it's kinda funny, I don't use the majority of guns available in SP as it is... except at the spectre office shooting range.

After you get better guns, you never go back to the older ones...well, most of the time.
Shepard is the Shepherd! PRAISE JEBUS!

I started a new ME3 run on the weekend, a bit of a departure from my usual choices.
Andromeda Shepard
Female
Spacer/War Hero
Vanguard
Andromeda (or Rommie as her mother and Liara get to call her) was born on Arcturus Station to Hannah Shepard, a lifelong naval officer. While on shore leave on the colony planet Albion, newly pregnant Hannah was exposed to Eezo dust fallout from an unexplained drive failure from a ore freighter in orbit. Due to the possible complications, Hannah was transferred to Arcturus for their full line medical facilities.
The story of Andromeda's name is somewhat cloudy. Some say that the Andromeda galaxy was featured prominently on the holotank viewer in the nursery, some say Hannah was a fan of a somewhat obscure television drama from the early 21st century. In any event, Andromeda was well loved and grew up to revere the Alliance as an almost spiritual institution. Her biotics began to show themselves as a five year old, but Andromeda was kept out of the BAAT program through dealings that have not been made entirely clear to history. Hannah Shepard had some highly placed friends in the Alliance it would seem and they made certain that Rommie's ship board education could continue uninterrupted.
After joining the Alliance at age 18, Andromeda's early exploits are well documented culminating with her heroics at the defense of Elysium. In the aftermath, glowing with decorations and a well deserved promotion her move to the XO position on the Normandy is also well known. Soon taking command of the Normandy as skipper, her key role in stopping Saren and saving the Council are the stuff of legends.
After her near death at the hands of the Collectors, Andromeda was taken by Cerberus and rebuilt to include the newer 5x amplifiers which allowed her biotics to reach pinnacles of achievement that used to be reserved solely for Asari. Her devastating biotic charge, an extremely rare power served her well in her victory over the Collectors as her brief alliance with Cerberus came to an end. After a top secret operation in Batarian space that delayed the Reaper invasion, she dispersed her mercenary crew to avoid them getting prosecuted for aiding and abetting a technical war criminal.
Turning in the SR2 to the Alliance (much to TiM's rage) she handed herself over for debrief and possible prosecution on charges of terrorism and war crimes from her work in stopping the Collectors. In a pique of spite, it is believed TiM leaked evidence of Shepard's activities to Batarian authorities in order to hobble Shepard's return to the Alliance and any preparation she could have helped with. Shielded by Admirals Hackett and Anderson, Shepard avoided formal prosecution but was kept under house arrest at the Vancouver Naval Headquarters on Earth.
Politics. Politics kept Andromeda detained while Reaper ships were transiting the gaps between the stars. Alliance brass did the math and concluded they had a year before Arrival. They miscalculated. Confused reports blanketed the comm networks, grainy images sent. The presiding naval review board summoned Shepard for her analysis. It became all to clear, all too soon. The Reapers were here and 6 months early. In the chaos of the initial landings, Shepard, along with Kaidan Alenko liberated the partially refitted Normandy from drydock and escaped, with orders to rendezvous with Dr. Liara T'soni on Mars en-route to the Citadel.
Rommie reunited with her soul mate in short order and had to deal with Kaiden's insecurities regarding her true loyalties. Reassuring him as gently as possible given the circumstances they agreed to focus on the pressing matter at hand. After the confrontation with TiM at the Prothean artifact, a Cerberus construct critically injures Kaidan.
After delivering him to Citadel medical facilities, a meeting with the Council resulted in, well not much. Beyond some vague promises of aid if they can get their houses in order, the pre-war alliances seem to be cracking on the first day of invasion. Not a good sign. Until the Turian Councillor approached with a proposal: save the Turian primarch from the Reapers and bypass the Council for direct government to government pledges of aid and alliance and secure a united fleet for delivery of the Prothean super weapon at the appropriate time.
While preparations for the summit were underway, the Normandy was not idle. Cerberus labs were raided, a Prothean survivor in stasis rescued, cities under attack saved and the imprisoned Rachni queen liberated. Now Rommie and her crew prepare themselves for a showdown with a Reaper destroyer guarding the means of curing an ancient injustice and securing the aid and future of a proud and noble people, the Krogans.
