Y NO USE HOTKEYS?!

 

I never use them either. 

 

Okay I lied, I did use them last time I played an adept in ME3. 

[Kurt M.]

Y U NO USE HOTKEYS?!

 

In ME1? At Veteran difficulty? Being a Soldier?

 

What for?

I'll be using them in ME2 and 3. Frankly, I've never used hotkeys in ME1, neither felt the necessity to do so.

Scott Shepard: His Life and Miracles, Part 5: Noveria! (Part 1)

 

 

Ahhh, what a nice nap I've just had! Now, to complete my day, I wanna go somewhere sunny, or tropical, or...

 

 

...crap.

 

So Scott just arrived to Noveria, and naturally the first mission he finds out is Opold's one...

 

 

 

...which he completes favorably for him because, honestly, that floating little guy has provided me of more "OMG, X ARMOR/UPGRADE, FINALLY!!! I LOVE YOU BUDDY!!" moments than I can count

 

After that, Scott goes to talk to Anoleis and Gianna, which includes a moment I've always found hilarious. First Gianna tells him about Lorik Quinn in an all *hushhh, hushhh!" way...

 

 

...then Shepard shouts out in his all manly voice:

 

 

...they should have animated a huge Gianna's facepalm after that, I swear

 

On his way to see Quinn, Shepard also deals with the Aramali council representative the Paragon-ish way:

 

 

 

 

 

 

...well, OK, not really Paragon-ish. But I can't stand the colour of her jacket. Go visit an Armani shop, precious!

 

He also tried to make some friends while he was at that hotel:

 

 

....(Scott): Did I ever mentioned I wanted to go somewhere sunny?

 

Also, he hacked some...weird apparatus while he was there. To this day I still don't know what the hell it does. Neither did Scott...but hey! XP!

 

 

After receiving some more love from Gianna...

 

 

....I love you too, babe ¬¬

 

...OT: Scott finally managed to convince Lorik to testify, which led to Anoleis' arrest:

 

 

...and to add insult to injury...:

 

 

...yeah, I definitely love being a Paragon

 

After obtaining a garage pass and fighing some Infiltrated Geth (Geth do not infiltrate? Really, Legion?), Scott started driving towards Peak 15, finding some more Geth in his way:

 

 

Garrus: But commander, this time we'll fight them from the Mako, right?

 

 

Garrus: ...crap.

 

Scott and his team reached Peak 15, where he found some still unknown bugs and more Geth, and then proceeded to repair the facility:

 

 

....sooo, super-advanced AI, being able to process untold operations simultaneously, and can't even push a button? (sigh).

 

Then Scott proceeded to the tramway' access the Manly™ way:

 

 

...and finally reached the hot lab facilities (Part 2 coming soon).

 

 

As a little addentum, the upgrades I've found so far are:

 

- Assault Rifle: Rail Extension IV, Heat Sink III, Incendiary Rounds IV.

- Grenades: High Explosive IV.

- Armor: Shield Interface IV, Kinetic Buffer IV.

 

Those are my favourite upgrades, and the ones I hope to get up to lvl X.

 

Also, my lvl so far:

I pass. I just want to end the game as soon as possible, and don't care how it looks like.

 

I'm posting those images and creating exhilaratingly hilarious stories (modestia aparte ) just to keep my motivation up.

Tonight, Amy did this, which wasn't much - (but she did listen to this):

Amy confessed to Garrus about the faking of the genophage cure; the resulting dialogue was rather nice.

Finished Grissom Academy and the Missing Krogan Scouts mission with my Infiltrator. Died about two dozen times over the past two days on those missions. Not using Cloak at the moment.

 

I think I am officially getting worse at this game. Or maybe I stopped caring. Probably both.

Infiltrator without a cloak can be quite tough. What's the bonus power?

Yeah, this. Oops. Shows how racist I am.

Beat it for the fifth time with Citadel DLC as the ending. I had Miranda as my LI and I picked Destroy at the end. (really it's the only choice I ever pick)

[SporkFu]

Today we went to Tuchanka to find out what was wrong with Grunt, and to try and find one of Mordin's old students. Since they both had to be there, I took Mordin and Grunt with me, at least for the first part of the mission. Was good to see Wrex again, but I couldn't talk him into coming with me to stop the collectors. Seems he had his own problems. I forgave him... err, until ME3 that is   
 
Went after Maelon first; killed some vorcha, killed some varren, killed some klixen, killed some krogan, found an old combustion manifold off a wrecked Tonka Tomka truck for the mechanic back at Wrex's base. And that was all before we even got to the hospital. Thought it might've been a mistake not to bring someone with an overload attack in their repertoire, but that was only until I discovered Mordin's incinerate exploded vorcha pyros just as well. What can I say? It's not like I ever take Mordin on that many missions against vorcha pyros.
 
Got to the hospital and told the speaker for clan Weyrloc that he talked to much, just before I set him on fire. His "battle-hardened veteran warriors" knew what was gonna happen and backed out of range of the blast while he was busy mouthing off... so we had to shoot them. 
 
Talked with Mordin quite a bit as we made our way through the hospital, but honestly I lost track of what he was saying about three sentences in. In the end we killed a bunch more krogan including the Weyrloc chief, and a few more varren. Also found an Urdnot scout who was being brainwashed into helping Maelon cure the genophage. I intimidated the little f***er into getting back to Urdnot territory and totally forgot about Tali having a line of dialogue there. Damn. Let Mordin shoot Maelon for a change, and then we destroyed the genophage data. Sorry Eve, but a genophage cure just isn't in the cards this time around. 
 
Grunt's little problem was up next, so I sent Mordin back to the Normandy and called Tali down to join us. Why Tali here and not at the hospital? I dunno, just seemed like the thing to do. Too bad she doesn't have any dialogue with Wrex. Garrus either. Disappointed, Bio. Oh well, my turn to headbutt Uvenk here, so that kinda made up for it. 
 
Also gonna say here that I love Grunt. He was so excited to get out into the open irradiated wasteland and kill something. And we did. We all got our shotguns out and eqipped them with incendiary ammo, and cooked a crapload of varren and klixen. To end Grunt's rite of passage, we killed a thresher maw. Used the Widow + Adrenaline Rush to do it, and it was good. Grunt approved. As the topper to the whole wonderful afternoon of mayhem and destruction and burnt varren flesh, I used the widow to turn the ambushing Uvenk into a tiny pile of ash, which soon blew away in the Tuchankan wind. What a great day. 
 
Time to leave Tuchanka and rendezvous with the Migrant Fleet to take care of these ridiculous accusations Tali was facing. Sending active geth back to the fleet? Wait, what? Whatever the quarians are growing and smoking out there on their liveships, I hope they'll share. 
 
Turns out it was Tali's father who was rebuilding geth from the pieces Tali had been sending him, in an effort to find a weakness against the geth so they could take back Rannoch... hmmm, like I said, I want some of what they smoke. We didn't tell any of the other quarians about all that though. Tali begged me not to, and she's hard to resist.
 
Editor's note: *ahem* okay that's my way of saying that I had originally planned to have Tali die on the suicide mission and romance Miranda, but then I installed Getorex's Tali mod for ME3 -- which Von Uber posted about the other day -- I decided on a change of plans; Tali lives and gets some lovin'. Sorry Miranda, maybe next time darlin'. Ash also gets dumped. Note to self: Take Ash on the geth dreadnought mission this time, dammit.
 
Was good to see Reegar again, and Veetor too, and to talk with Xen -- Claudia Black  . Took Grunt along on this mission. Grunt wearing a full helmet made me giggle. Dunno why, but it just looks funny.  Rallied the crowd against the admirals and kept Tali from getting exiled. She said it was fun watching me shout *sigh* ... okay, I'll stop.

 
Now that everyone was focused on the mission, it was time to go after the reaper IFF. In the spirit of trying out things I've never done before, I took Grunt and *gasp* Jacob along on this one, and hell, I was pleasantly surprised to see this little scene play out...
 

Spoiler

Cool.
 
Next up: Find something to do until EDI tricks us all into leaving the ship so she can take over.  At least without Zaeed, Kasumi, Samara, and Legion on board, the shuttle won't be quite so crowded this time

Really not liking the non-import ME3 run I'm doing. I just have no 'feeling' with this Shepard.

So I guess I'll do a trilogy run again     

How do Windows 8, a beast of a machine and ME1 mix? 
Does the high res mod reduce stability on a high end machine as well? (is it even worse? )

Scott Shepard: His Life and Miracles, Part 6: Noveria! (Part 2)

 

So, Scott reached the Hot Labs, and decided to proceed the most XP-wise way he's ever found...

 

He began talking to Ventralis, then kicking two bug's ass, then going directly to talk to Dr. Cohen, and locating the cure, casually killing an asari in the process (like always...):

 

 

...then he went to the quarantine zone, and activated the neutron purge, just after seeing some guy getting all chestbursted:

 

 

...you won't blame him, right? -gross!-

 

Then, after activating the purge, it's time to make a run for it, right? Well, not for Scott:

 

 

 

...whose motto is: "Kill things first. Escaping is optional".

 

Also, talking about killing things...

 

 

...his next step was to kill that Captain Bastard. Well, I was already pissed off of him always bossing abound with the supplies (and who at this point wasn't?).

 

After dealing with him, it's time to deal with the rest of his goonies, so Scott went though this passage (the one protected by turrets):

 

 

...then he proceeded to do his job of delivering pain and massive trauma to morons:

 

 

That until he reached to the room where Benezia was, but it was not the time to fight her yet. Instead, he continued ahead and reached the maintenance area, where he found a lone rachni:

 

 

 

...then he continued across that frozen passage, and found his last (by now) victim:

 

 

 

Once all the cannon fodder obtained what they deserved, it was time to destroy Benezia. Which he did, and dealt with the Rachni the good guy-way:

 

 

That plus saving the sick scientists gave him a nice Paragon score boost. Althought I agree with Kaidan with that one:

 

 

...true, "if we'd had". Thing is that Bioware never introduced a sense of urgency in saving the queen or not. It'd have been as easy as to introduce the fact that the acid tank was damaged during the fight (something entirely plausible), and that the queen would have had minutes of life before the tank finally gave out and killed her, thus the decision of liberating her or not would have made more sense. But oh well....that's a plot hole for ya.

 

So after the fight, Scott went to talk to Liara, because he guessed she'd be pretty depressed by the news:

 

 

...and he also took that opportunity to break her heart (hey! it was a moment as good as any other!):

 

 

....yeeeeah, sucks to be Liara right now

 

 

Scott Shepard: His Life and Miracles, Part 7: Luna!

 

So, while in his way to the Citadel in order to sell his overcrowded warehouse, Scott received a call from Admiral Hackett, stating that E....I mean, some VI went rogue on Luna, and that Shepard was assigned to kill it. So, there he went to....kill it

 

 

Man, that VI doesn't take it lightly! It may be safer this time to use the Mako instead of fighting on foot:

 

 

...just kidding

 

So Scott went though all the bases and killed the VI. Sorry, VI! I'll show you some love to you later in the trilogy!

 

 

He also went to the two unmarked groups of rocket turrets and finished the job, because you know, XP:

 

 

 

And so, when the moon was safe and proudly human again, he finally went to the Citadel, where he sold all his useless crap.

 

Before:

 

 

After:

 

 

Man, it feels good to be rich!

 

Although Udina managed to break Scott's mood just by existing (like always):

 

 

...keep that attitude, tough guy, and you'll die someday. Painfully.

Gladi, I suggest you stick photos in [Spoiler] boxes so they don't extend the pages. Also, you use .png files which causes the page to load longer. I remember von uber kept pulling her hair out 'cause I used to drown the pages in .png images.

Infiltrator without a cloak can be quite tough. What's the bonus power?

 

Energy Drain. It is basically an Engineer with Cryo Ammo and sniper time dilation.

 

Infiltrator can be easy regardless of whether you Cloak or not (Cloak just makes it a joke).

Does the high res mod reduce stability on a high end machine as well? (is it even worse?  )

I play with high res mod now (M.E.U.I.T.M.) and it doesn't have noticeable impact on my not so high end machine I couldn't run it on my old GTS 250 but current GTX 660 runs is without any problems. I can even record gameplay without too much of FPS hit.

Energy Drain. It is basically an Engineer with Cryo Ammo and sniper time dilation.

Well, if you have Cryo Ammo Without Cloak the Infiltrator lacks a way to avoid damage which every class has to degree (Singularity, Combat Drone, Adrenaline Rush, Charge, Tech Armor). With Energy Drain it sounds like my first Infiltrator run. I had cloak instead of ammo but barely used it. Most of time I followed a simple pattern:

                        take cover

                          |           |

enemy has shields      enemy doesn't have shields

            |                                             |

headshot with Mantis             Energy Drain

                                                          I

                                           headshot with Mantis

Yeah, I can do that Anyways, once I'm done with Feros, I'd have finished Part 1/3 of the game, and will go into DLCs/UNC's, which are a bit more boring (well, UNC's at least), so I won't be posting as many pics.

 

And in ME2 & 3 I won't be posting pics at all, cos I wanna savor them

[His Name was HYR!!]

 Finished ME1 yesterday. Decided to save the hostages in BDtS. Usually they bite it, but this one I guess I can see both ways.

 

Not much to say other than the scene of Shepard emerging from Sovereign's debris being an awesome emotional sucker-punch.

 

Imported into ME2 after that, playing as a "Reave soldier," basically working with the idea that Shepard was rebuilt with funky tech that gives her some odd new abilities (and Adrenaline Rush), and those abilities will manifest further in ME3 where I will choose Vanguard.

 

Got through the prologue and went to the Citadel to meet Anderson and the Council. I saved them in ME1, but chose Udina for the human seat. Got lots of dialogue I did not see before. Also, given the game's persuasion system, I made sure to rack up as many morality points I could find around the place (mostly of the "blue" variety, but some "red" in there as well). Also recruited Kasumi. Can I point out how silly her act is? If you do not want to attract attention to yourself, you probably should not set up an advertisement as a medium to communicate, seeing as they are (a.) big; (b.) loud; (c.) bright; (d.) generally designed to attract attention.

 

'Think I'll go to Omega next, recruit my next three squaddies. Just realized I am missing a disc of ME3, though. FFFFUUUUUUU---

Oh cool, maybe I'll replay the start of the mission with them. Too funny though; Jacob loses his one lone bright spot of relevance.

It is kinda ridiculous, no doubt, but I always took it as she's hiding in plain sight; what is already supposed to be a loud, noisy crowded customs check-in at the docking bay. Plus those ads are somewhat personalized; Kasumi's probably got it rigged to display the original ad for anyone else.
