Bailing Grunt out of C-Sec custody for 100th time... it's good to be a Spectre.

You... are about to have a neat day.

After a couple of months of waiting for rescue, Jessica Shepard comes to the rescue! Ann Bryson must be angry, but I'm more surprised by the fact that she's still alive after being ignored since after Menae.

John Shepard

Colonist/War Hero/Infiltrator

 

So ya, Illium has slavery.  John was not too happy about this revelation given his background, and just when he was starting to like the place despite running into his number one fan Conrad Verner (who for some reason seems to think Shep shoved a gun in his face, though maybe that wouldn't have been such a bad idea to scare him straight).  But, since this was a public place, Shep kept his cool, resolved the problem, and got a Quarian out of slavery.  Since he was already there, he then talked to Miranda's contact and found out her twin was going to be kidnapped..... again.  Oh, and she kinda sorta maybe maybe not is a twin after all, depending on how you define it.  Either way, Mr. Lawson picked the wrong terrorist group to mess with, as the final score was team Cerberus 1 - Eclipse 0.  It was good to see Miranda happy, and even better to have access to her slam ability.  Really a win-win for everyone.

 

Then came the big news, some Turians had apparently disabled a collector ship.  This was all very suspect, so Shepard put Admiral Ackbar on speed dial and prepared to board.  Things went swimmingly enough at first, a tech upgrade here, galaxy shaking revelation about the fate of the protheans there, and a brand spanking new sniper rifle to top it off, with narry a husk to be found!  Then he tried to activate a terminal, and- say it with me-

 

Spoiler

 

 

You know, they say if at first you don't succeed try try again, but by now someone should have noticed this kind of pattern.  After Warden Kuril, Donovan Hock and Gatatog Uvenk, John had hoped word would start to get around to stop trying to trap him.  I guess the Collector General wants to join these tactical geniuses in the afterlife for this, and I'm not talking about the Omega club.  

 

I was actually a bit worried about this fight since this is my first insanity run, but the widow was a lifesaver.  Even on insanity, a quick reave/headshot combo took care of most grunts, and the scions could mostly be taken out at range.  And speaking of Grunts, I maxed out his fortification, so he could soak up enough firepower to take down a thresher maw without breaking a sweat.  The real problem was the praetorian, but after a few deaths, I just gave up and shot him with the pimpCain (Which I managed to miss with but the explosion still took him down to a manageable 50% armor). "M920 Cain-Works 60% of the time, every time".

 

Afterwards, it turns out that Samara has some really F-ed up mother-daughter issues, not to be outdone, Thane has some son issues, and Tali is being charged with treason despite her father being an admiral.  So many unresolved family issues, so little time.

Taken over 500 screenshots between the prologue to the first trip to the Citadel.  I was requested by my buddy themikefest to share the adventures of Elissa Shepard, so I'm in the process of organizing everything.  I still don't know if I'm going for funny, meta, both or more straight-forward.  

 

This will be my second completion of ME3, ever.  I played the series in late May of this year for the first time.

 

Quick introduction though:

 

Name: Elissa Shepard

Age: 33 (by ME3)

Childhood: Colonist

Background: Sole Survivor

Alignment: Paragade (more of a paragon though)

Class: Infiltrator

Romance: Garrus

Most liked non-LI crewmembers in the series: Wrex, Zaheed, Tali

Least liked non-LI crewmembers (note: I don't hate any of them, just some get on my nerves) Miranda, Jacob, Grunt (until after his loyalty mission.  Then I really enjoy his company.)

 

Favorite Squads:

 

ME1: Wrex, Garrus

ME2: Zaheed/Grunt (incendiary ammo is nice,) Garrus

ME3: Garrus, James/Tali

 

ME1: One of the red haired/green eyed defaults.

 

Her look in ME2:

Her look in ME3.  She grew out her hair in between games:

I haven't been able to get ME3 Explorer working right, though I think I've solved the problem.  For now, I don't use mods.  I ended up manually inputting the Z codes into the right places to get the clipping fixed for this hairstyle.

Took yet more screenshots to prepare for the ME3 LP that I'm going to do.  I'm up to a few gigs worth now on my secondary drive.

I'm amazed at how quickly those screenshots accumulate. I've got over 28,000 from my last half-dozen or so playthroughs... although admittedly a chunk of those are loading and menu screens -- and repeats where I stepped away from the desk for a bit and left FRAPS running while shep just stood there waiting for me to pick a dialogue.

I'm using coalesced tweaks that bind the F8 key ti screenshot, so it makes this a little easier.  The amount of organization ahead of me is staggering.  For now, I've got stuff broken up in several folders in order to try to keep track of it all.  At this rate, I probably won't start uploading them to my imgur account until after I finish Tuchunka.   Several of the screenshots are retakes, mainly because Shep is usually caught in mid-blink and EDI almost never fully closes her mouth in between sentences.

I've started using FRAPS to take movies of the play through, then playing it back in slo-mo and getting better screenies that way... But yeah organization is becoming a problem. Maybe Liara will loan me Glyph...

Just upload the cool shots to an image site and delete everything from your harddisk when your playthrough is done. (also, if you use steam to make the screenshot, they get date stamped in the name, if you really wanna keep them on your harddisk)

 

I have premium membership on imageshack... which was so dirt cheap I don't even remember the price , but it gives me unlimited uploading space

 

You might feel the need to organise on there, but everything will be in order of uploading anyway. (or rather, in backwards order, the newest coming first). If you have even a half decent memory you'll know where to look.

[SporkFu]

FRAPS timestamps them as well, and so does theVLC media player I use for screenies from vids. Typically I'll dump about 90% when I get around to going through them... It's going through them that's getting daunting.

[Farangbaa]

That's why I mass delete , or rather... I play a section of the game and immediately upload the good ones afterwards, so I don't have to weed through 10.000+ pics after a trilogy run.

I make them smaller to save space on photobucket. Can't afford these premium costs. Unless there is some free place without storage limits.

imageshack is like.. 12 dollars or something. it's ridiculously cheap, unlimited storage limit.

 

Just checked, 20 dollars a year.

[Vazgen]

Just compress the images. BMP format is ridiculously big, use JPG instead.
