Tristan Shepard had a very strange day on Korlus while tracking down the Warlord Okeer.

Things went from strange to outright bizarre for Tristan Shepard when it came time to fight Jedore.

Playing a bit of ME2 today after finishing ME1. 

I hope they bring something like the hammerhead in ME'4', or make the neo Mako something like the Batmobile in Arkham Knight which seems to change when it enters combat, allowing for a different kind of movement (in some ways similar to the Hammerhead) that in turn allow for a great (or so I hope) combat. I don't think must of the critics to ME2's vehicle are accurate. When you know how to use, it can be quite an effective and fun deliver of death:



Also recorded two videos with two dialogues in the citadel that I find really funny but had problems finding them in youtube last I searched.

Lets see, it's been a couple of months since I last "updated" my play-through. Main Reason: haven't played ME. As to the 'why' part,...well, i'd like to reiterate a my final thought on my last post.

 

Damn you all.

 

This is in reference to my curiosity concerning the Dragon Age series. About a week after I started my new ME play-through, I took a fukitol and bought DA-O. And now all that spare time I had that wasn't spent on my Xbox is now nonexistent. I put in the game disc, and the rest they say is history. Within a couple of weeks, I returned the first used copy of DA-O and then bought the edition with all the DLC, along with DA2. It took me a month alone to beat DA-O. The main reason behind that was due to the fact that there was no way to reset my skills and point allotment until Awakening. After wasting a lot of time trying to figure which skills I should upgrade and which skill trees worked out the best for me in the Magi Origin(or 4 play-throughs: equivalent to 3 weeks), I finally beat the game with an Elven Arcane Warrior. The DLCs added another 2 weeks to my playing time(started college). Battle Mage became my second specialization in Awakening, which was then transferred to the other DLCs. Recently, I've been working on my DA2 play-through. 

 

So in short, the ME series has started to gather some dust. Still, I'll go ahead and list the major choices of my play-throughs along with my thoughts on the characters in the Spoiler section.

Dragon Age Origins

Elven Mage. Specialization(s): Arcane Warrior and Battle Mage. Difficulty: Hard(Nightmare is too annoying). Name: Liam

Major Choices: Bhelen as Orzammar's King, destroyed the Anvil, Spared my fellow Mages in the Circle tower(those I could anyways), Recruited the Dalish and cured the werewolves, spared the village in Redcliffe, used Jowan's ritual and sacrificed Isolde, found the ashes and let Genitivi spread the news, Loghain spared and Alistair(hardened) became king(ruled jointly with Anora), "killed" Flemeth and did the dark ritual with Morrigan, and killed the Archdemon myself. Afterwards, Liam took a vacation of sorts and traveled with Zevran and Leliana.

 

Alistair- Naive, but he did put a smile on my face most of the time. Hardening his personality did him some good(mostly). Liam befriended him.

Sten- My initial reaction was "this could end in trouble, but I need someone like him." It was a rough start, but eventually he grew on me. The Warden and Sten respected each other in the end.

Morrigan- This was a love/hate relationship. I found her views to be a little extreme, but I valued her experience and skill. I also appreciated her occasional bouts of humor. Towards the end, I gained her friendship. She's a strong and independent woman, yet she also had a soft side. I almost chose her as my Warden's romance, but decided that I preferred the friendship path.

Leliana- This was definitely a rocky start. My initial reaction could be summed up in one of the dialogue options: "Yeah...this is the part where I back away slowly." As the game progressed, my opinion of her eventually changed. When I learned her history, I gained an understanding of why she became religious in the first place. Still, she was repressing too much of her true self. After dealing with Marjolaine, Liam convinced her she didn't need to be ashamed of who she was. Her faith, which was initially an annoyance, tempered her inner bard and helped shape her conscience. Eventually, Liam adored her and she became my canon romance.

Zevran- I was leery of him at first, but he turned out to be one of my favorites. He was the least judgmental of all the companions, and I liked his charm and sense of humor. Eventually, Liam befriended him.

Dog(Mac)- I'm a dog sort of guy, so it didn't take long for me to grow attached to him. Nothing more needs to be said

Shale- I liked her for the most part. She was a little 'touchy' at times, but I liked her for the most part.

Loghain- Despite the fact that he was he was the secondary antagonist in the game, I respected his experience as a general. He cared about Ferelden as a whole, and his only fault was allowing Howe to poison his mind. I don't begrudge his choice to leave the field at Ostagar either. So after defeating him in the Landsmeet, I decided that killing him would have been a waste and instead recruited him into the Gray Wardens as a chance at redemption. Alistair can get over himself, I'm not killing a valuable resource just so he can have his revenge. 

Oghren- A drunk with a temper, but he grew on me. He was invaluable as a warrior, and he make me laugh. 

 

I'll give my impressions of Awakening and DA2 at a later date.

 

Now, in an attempt to keep this on-topic,

 

After the initial hearing with the council and being treated as a fool, Marcus did everything within his power to prove that Saren was a worthless traitor. He followed a lead that led him to Chora's Den, and after listening to that worthless washout named Harkin, he learned that Garrus went into the Clinic on the wards to question Dr. Michel about Saren. After dealing with the thugs, Marcus recruited Garrus and headed back towards Chora's Den to interrogate Fist. When his cronies were dealt with and he finally surrendered, Fist told Marcus that he set up a fake meeting with the SB for a Quarian that had some valuable intel. Shepard thought about sparing Fist, but decided that killing him would earn him some brownie parts with the Broker(good source of intel). They saved the Quarian in the alley and took her to the Ambassador's office. Her evidence proved valuable in the subsequent hearing with the Council, and Marcus finally earned his spot among the Spectres. 

 

This play-through will be continued once I gain the motivation to play Mass Effect once again. Could be a while however...

Also recorded two videos with two dialogues in the citadel that I find really funny but had problems finding them in youtube last I searched.
 

 

Hadn't heard either of these dialogue cycles. Thanks for bringing them to my attention.

Started a new playthrough. Trying to make a support character. Will probably end up as sort of a medic for the team

[RedCaesar97]

More Tank Sentinel:

 

1. Went to go speak with the Salarian councilor, only to end up in the middle of an attempted coup by Cerberus. Kai Leng killed the Salarian, then I killed Ashley and Udina.

 

Headcount: That is five dead councilors and three dead Spectres since joining the Normandy. Four dead Spectres if you count me when the Collectors destroyed the Normandy SR-1. (Maybe five Spectres if I killed Vasir; cannot remember if I played Lair of the Shadow Broker with this Shepard in ME2.)

 

2. Met the Quarian Admirals, destroyed their Dreadnaught. That grungy suit-rat that tagged along all those years ago might have enjoyed that. What was her name? Tori? Sally? Something like that.

 

3. Tried to rescue Admiral Korris, but could not convince him to give me his location. I rescued his stupid crew instead.

[KotorEffect3]

I must say I am pretty proud of myself for creating this thread.  Anywho I am back in the ME universe after blitzing myself with DA for the last couple of months.  Today I continued the journey of Tyson Shepard a no nonsense earthborn soldier who took no prisoners at Torfan.  Today Tyson along with Ashley and Tali investigated the Geth attack at Feros to see why Saren was interested in the colony.  Well he discovered that a strange telepathic plant being calling itself the Thorian had taken control of the colony and it had a prothean cipher.  Well long story short Tyson killed the infected colonists and destroyed the Thorian but received the Cipher from an asari it had held prisoner.  He decided to let the asari live since she did aide him and gave him valuable information.

Off-topic but still useful info. For everyone who like von uber's screenshots of Tomb Raider you can now get the game for $2.39

 

Square Enix Steam Sale

[dragonflight288]

Shepard is currently working on making sure his crew is as focused on the mission as possible before he gets the IFF from the derelict reaper. 

 

On a side note, even though I haven't done it yet, my Shepard will sell Legion to Cerberus, because it fits his personality that I roleplayed. 

 

He sees the Geth as an enemy, and although he'll be curious when he meets one who can not only talk but calls out to him by name, he won't let his curiosity endanger the crew. He knows how powerful their hacking ability is, especially after helping Tali with her being accused of treason and retaking the Alerai. Seeing the Geth is like seeing a batarian, it takes him back to Mindoir and how many people died there, or in his case, Eden Prime and seeing all those people impaled on those spikes and then turned into husks to fight their former comrades. 

 

My Shepard won't take the risk.

Started my first serious femshep playthrough, actually managed to create one that doesnt look like she had one to many drinks in the ME1 creator.

[SlottsMachine]

I played Pinnacle Station for the first time believe it or not. While it was about what people have said it was it was neat to see the beginnings of what would be Mass Effect 3's multiplayer. Not only the objectives in some of the arenas but also getting random weapons and armor for currency (three differently priced packs). Savant X! Berserker X! Aww yeah! But give me some Light Onyx Armor though!

New adventures of my medic

[RedCaesar97]

More Tank Sentinel;

 

1. Attacked a Geth Base. Destroyed a Reaper. Destroyed the Geth.

 

2. Landed on Thessia to collect an artifact. Found a temple. Had a lovely chat with Javik and Liara inside the temple. Found the artifact, but had it stolen by Kai Leng. I'm starting to hate that guy.

 

3. Traveled to Sanctuary. Discovered Sanctuary was actually a secret Cerberus lab. Found Miranda. Shot Oriana in the leg. Watched Miranda die.

 

4. Had that weird recurring dream again. This never happened when Gardner was cooking. Note to self: Fire cook after destroying the Reapers for good.

 

5. Attacked Cerberus Headquarters. Ran into Jack while I was there; she tried to kill so I shot her dead. Beat Kai Leng's sorry ass into the ground.

[dragonflight288]

Shepard completed everyone's loyalty missions, minus legion whom he sold to cerberus then he went into the suicide mission. Ended up saving the collector base despite his misgivings because despite everything Cerberus had done to make him hate them, he thinks the Illusive Man walked his talk. Then he went to help out with project Overlord and he saw what Archer did with David and now he's going "What the **** did I do?"

[RedCaesar97]

Last of my Tank Sentinel:

 

1. Landed on Earth (safely, I might add).

 

2. Destroyed a Hades Cannon.

 

3. Destroyed a Reaper.

 

4. Watched as Javik and Liara were vaporized by Harbinger. Liara made a sad face; I only felt sympathy for Javik. I mean, waking up 50,000 years after his own Reaper War only get annihilated by a Reaper. So tragic.

 

5. Flew up a beam of light. Talked to the Illusive Man, then shot him.

 

6. Destroyed all synthetic life. And most organic life too apparently. Also, Joker is not as good a pilot as he would have you believe.

 

 

Not sure what to do now. My next ME3 playthrough will be a Bulletless Soldier, but I may finish my ME2 Sentinel first. I also should really finish Dragon's Dogma one of these days too.

Shuriken vs Atlas. Shuriken wins!

[KotorEffect3]

Took out a rogue VI on earth's moon and then I investigated a pre fab colony in which all of the colonists had been turned into husks and this "Cerberus" organization was somehow involved.  Shepard is beginning to suspect that this isn't the last he has run into this "Cerberus" organization.

[Jukaga]

Started the adventures of Nikita Shepard, ultrarenegade in ME2:

 

Woke up in some crazy lab, fought my way through a bunch of haywire 'bots and now about to meet the leader of Cerberus. Could be a medal in it for me if I can bring him down...

 

Ahh, he's too smart for that. Holograms. Well, might as well listen to what he wants.

 

CAT FIGHT!

 

Tali, that was a smart move dropping those guns.

 

Goddam, Joker it's good to see you.

It gets better Commander.

 

Hell Yes.

[birefringent]

Started the adventures of Nikita Shepard, ultrarenegade in ME2:

Nikita could be Jack's sister

[Jukaga]

Nikita heads to Omega

 

There is definitely a place for this guy on my ship.

 

Even before Torphan, I've had a love/hate relationship with these scum. Or is it love to hate? Afterall they were the only obstacle to Human expansion since the Turians got their spanking.

 

Damn if they're not fun in the sack, but sh*t do they go on. Liara with her Protheans, this one about herself.

 

Welcome to the 4 eye barbque, the flames are getting higher!

 

Always making the world a better place.

 

Is this Candyland? But this whiner is harshing my buzz.

 

I feel tingly inside, not sure why

 

Time for a drink Shepard?

Put it on Cerberus' tab Zaeed. Everything's first class on this mission!

 

I'm sure Liara won't mind. Besides, she's with that Shadow Broker now I hear.

 

Ahh worked up a thirst.

 

My guts are made of eezo and titanium, let's see if yours are!

[Jukaga]

Nikita could be Jack's sister

Well yes, quite intentional. Perhaps her pro-Cerberus dark mirror?

[Jukaga]

Got that Salarian nut, time to get this Archangel.

 

This kid reminds me of some of the Reds. The ones I didn't like.

 

Always like mixing business and pleasure.

 

This day is just getting better and better!

 

Garrus! Good to see you! Hold still, I owe you one!

 

Thought I'd give you a tickle, you were taking your time.

 

Ha! Don't worry about it. So, some things need killing, you in?

 

You need to ask?

 

Can't get cocky!

 

Rawlings, you will be AVENGED!
