I like that feeding the fish is such a high priority. It should be in the journal as Priority: Fish Nibbles. We certainly know the things starve to death fast enough if ignored. (Maybe it's really just the attention they need.)

 

On that shower scene... On my third or so playthrough of ME3 I was often skipping dialogue and just selecting the top choice for paragon alignment if it was a scene I'd been through before and wasn't especially interested in seeing again at the moment.

 

At the time, I had no idea that Traynor was even a romance option since in my previous playthroughs I'd already managed to lock things back in with Liara by that point. As such- again, from skipping dialogue- I had no idea I'd been flirting with her. Imagine my surprise when instead of a game of chess she spontaneously decided to take a shower in her underwear in my room. Imagine my further surprise when Shepard suddenly decided that this was a very normal and sensible thing to do and proceeded to join her. Whoops. Sorry Liara.

 

On an unrelated note, I hate to ask for technical advice here but I've been away from the forums for a while... I figured out how to get a 'quote' box if I want to just respond to part of someone's post but whenever I try to copy and paste text there it just remains blank. Tried changing the text color and theme even but no luck. Any suggestions?

To quote someone's post, click the Quote button (it is located on the bottom right-hand side of the person's post). To take quotes from multiple quotes, click the MultiQuote button on each post you want to quote.

 

This will create a new post with the quote(s) at the top of the post. From here, you can then add your text to the post. 

 

To edit someone's quote within your post just delete the text you do not want from the quote.

 

Another option is click the gray square switch-looking icon in the top-right corner of the topic box. This will switch between WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) view to the BBC view (plain text with tags). From here you have a little more control if you want to split a quote up into multiple quotes in order to respond to multiple segments within the post.

 

 

 

 

Hope that helps. Without a proper guide I can link to (or create and link to) I cannot be much more help than that. Screenshots help with instructions

Again, I appreciate the assistance. Looks like I'll stick with cap and gown's method though because for some reason when I click the 'quote' button (bottom right of someone's post) it doesn't at all pop up in my text box. Using the 'quote' button from the toolbar and switching to http view to copy & paste seems to work well enough if it is a bit of a runaround. (I'm only redundantly quoting your advice here to test this out a bit. Seems to do the trick.)

Today Tyson went to Noveria and tracked down Benezia who momentarily broke away from indoctrination just long enough to give him the final piece of the puzzle, he now has the coordinates to the Mu Relay he can now get to Ilos.  Unfortunately he was forced to kill Benezia as the indoctrination was too strong.   Before departing though he was forced to make a decision regarding the Rachni queen that had been forced to mass produce Rachni troops for Saren.  Tyson decided that the queen was too dangerous and killed her.  After the mission on Noveria Tyson checked in on Liara to see how she was coping with Benezia's death and she seemed to be handling it well but she could have just been putting on a brave face.  Tyson told her that the best of Benezia lives on in Liara. 

 

After clearing up the mess on Noveria Tyson received a message from Udina requesting that the Normandy return to the citadel to deal with Saren and his geth.   When Tyson got to the Citadel however it appeared that Udina and the council were more interested in politics like always.  That weasel had the Normandy locked down and Shepard and crew were momentarily stuck on the citadel.  However Anderson contacted Shepard and offered to break into Udina's office and use his computer to cancel the lockdown.  After getting the ship back Shepard and company left the Citadel in a hurry.

I almost never have Liara in my party before the Noveria mission. It's too tempting and amusing to save recruiting her for last and watch as she goes a little insane stuck behind that force field. My personal headcannon is that the stress of this experience, combined with the loss of her mother, is part of what drives the change in her personality between the first and second game. (On top of everything else involved with the Shadow Broker subplot that is. Poor woman's been through a lot.)

I have heard it can be pretty funny if you save Therum until late in the game because she is going nuts but Therum is almost always the first thing I do out of the gate once I get the Normandy.

Last night Shepard cured the Genophage. Though I'm doing a playthrough to kill as many as possible, I figured I'd look at the long game and the threat of a Krogan uprising once the war is over - I'm sure that'll cause a lot more carnage than anything else. While there we saw the biggest worm ever, which somehow dragged a Reaper to its doom. I wonder if I can get these things to join the war? That might change things.

 

After the cure was done, we went back to the Citadel to meet with the Salarian councillor, but Cerberus, in their Galaxy-wide domination attempt (where did all these troops come from?) have attacked the Citadel and things are looking a bit bad on board. We catch up with the Salarian but some manga wannabe appears out of nowhere and kills her, but we manage to chase him and the rest of the troops off before they cause any more trouble. Also met Ashley during the mission too, who wasn't too pleased to see me after I ignored her in hospital. She wants the Reapers to drag me to hell. Well, she's dead now and I'm not, so.. I win! Udina's dead too, but that's no big loss. I would have done it myself if I could have got away with it.

 

Now Shepard is wandering around the Citadel poking her nose into more private conversations and handing people stuff she found on remote planets. Lucky I found those, right?

[GalacticWolf5]

(where did all these troops come from?)

Experiments with Reaper technology allowed Cerberus to indoctrinate civilians and convert them into troops. That's why there's so many of them in ME3.

The real question is: where did all that equipment come from? Any nation worth its salt (and some that aren't) can draft millions of soldiers. Equipping them, OTOH, is another matter altogether. Cerberus's army appears to be as well equipped as the Alliance which can draw on the GDP of Earth and the colonies for funding and resources. Cerberus, a privately funded organization, could never match that. It'd be like saying Ford Motors could fund an army to take on the U.S.

I'm fighting the Thorian and its thralls and creepers with my Vanguard female Shepard along with Kaidan and Garrus.

[von uber]

Ophelia Shepard continued for a short while today.
She threatened the smugglers and has warmed to Ash. Kaiden is boring, to qoute "he is dull, can't we get out of this conversation?".
We've reached the citadel, hopefully more tomorrow.
She is turning out surprisingly renegade.

Afterwards Darth Udina saw an opportunity

The nature of those private organizations is never disclosed. Blue Suns seem to have a bunch of soldiers and equipment while being a private mercenary company. Cerberus could've had a few smaller merc organizations as sponsors.

They have more or less been building or planning their army since at least ME 1.  Then they got their hands on a ton of reaper tech from the Collector Base after ME 2 (though since they were fooling around with husks in ME 1 they probably had some reaper tech before that).  Still they do seem a little overpowered in ME 3.  The fact that they could openly attack the citadel, occupy Omega, and carry out attacks on several alliance and council colony worlds seems a bit much.

Morticia Shepard

 

Went to Eden Prime and took a nap

 

At the Citadel  she got a new title

 

She will travel to Feros to help the colonists

[RedCaesar97]

Visited the Normandy Crash Site, collected Zaeed, then headed to the Disabled Collector Ship with my biotic-focused Sentinel (Throw, Warp, Slam). Took shotgun training as my bonus weapon talent.

 

Beat the platforms on the first attempt, but it was very sloppy; I was never good at that part.

 

Then I got my butt handed to me soon after. I must have died about a dozen times in the same fight: that big room after the platforms, but before the Praetorian. I sometimes have a lot of trouble there, and when I have a lot of trouble, I have a lot of trouble. When I did finally beat it, everything else went smoothly. Go figure. Advanced two levels upon completion.

 

Now I am trying to decide what to do next:

1. I want to recruit Thane so I have a second Warp-bomber on my team, but...

2. Liara is a better Warp-bomber than Miranda and Thane and she will be by my side for most of The Lair of the Shadow Broker. Plus, LotSB has good weapon damage upgrades, plus the squadmate respec terminal.

3. But Tuchanka -- Mordin and Grunt's loyalty missions -- are pretty quick and completing Grunt's mission will net me my third shotgun upgrade quicker, plus a discount at Fortack;s.

4. But I could really use the Tempest from Tali's recruitment mission. I really like the Tempest, but I am doing fine with the Shuriken. And I would prefer both Thane and Miranda on this mission.

 

Eh, I will probably do Lair of the Shadow Broker next for the upgrades and the respec terminal.

No Locust?

 

And yes, it is always hard to figure out at that point what to do: Tempest for the SB ship (squad mates)? Or more upgrades first? Or just SB ship for the respec? I always get Miri loyal first so she has Slam. And I usually get Tali before the SB ship to give the squad the Tempest.

[Vazgen]

Probably the only mission that makes my PC lag. Got lucky on this run, game lagged only in 2-3 spots.

 

Also recorded a bunch of previously unheard dialogue on Tuchanka, will post that tomorrow

I think that it was established somewhere that in addition to having secret backers in both the Alliance and among the 22nd Century Forbes 500, Cerberus has numerous legitimate front organisations set up, in addition to presumably less than legal enterprises. The 4 Billion Credits that the Illusive Man threw at Miranda to resurrect Shepard doesn't seem to have hurt their finances either, suggesting they have enough cash to make funding an army possible?

 

Plus given that some of their fronts built both the original Normandy and it's successor, they presumably own manufacturing plants that they use to create arms and armour for the open market, while secretly manufacturing enough Cerberus equipment for themselves?

 

Take ATLAS mechs for instance. While they seem to be a staple of Cerberus' forces, we see a CAT6 variant in the Citadel DLC that implies that the model is also available on the open market, which seems backed up by the Triton diving variant on the MSV Monarch on Despoina? The latter mech also suggests that the model has been out since 2181, presuming the vessel crashed after the planet was surveyed, although it could have crashed there before the planet was "officially" found? The amount of ATLAS' that we see Cerberus use makes me think that Cerberus probably owns the company that makes them, rather than buying them from elsewhere?

Okay, decided to play Lair of the Shadow Broker. Immediately ran into an issue.

 

For you PC players, here is a quick background to help you understand:

1. On console you can map only three powers of Shepards to console buttons.

2. One of those buttons (Y on Xbox 360, and I think Triangle on PS3?) MUST ALWAYS be your class signature power. In my case, that is Tech Armor.

 

Previously, I had modded my save to give myself more minerals to avoid planet scanning, and also replaced my Tech Armor button mapping to Warp.

 

Well, I had decided to re-spec Shepard's points before the mission. Originally I had given myself Unstable Warp, but decided to switch it to Heavy Warp since I felt not need the extra detonation radius and thought the damage would be better. Well wouldn't you know that also changed all my power mappings? I kept wondering why I was throwing Warp instead of Slam, which caused me to dies a few times until I wizened up.

 

I did not feel like re-modding my save at this point, so I carried on and tried to work in some more close-quarters combat with only rank 2 Tech Armor. That went okay except in a few spots where not having Assault Armor kept getting me killed.

 

 

Two things I am learning as I play this biotic-focused Sentinel of mine (Sentinel using Warp, Throw, and Slam: 

1. It makes me wish I was an Adept instead so I could have Singularity, and

2. The Assault Sentinel is the only Sentinel worth playing. 

 

I really wish I had made this guy an Adept. I suppose when I mod my save again I could switch him to an Adept.
