Thanks Gladitorium - maybe I'll just let James have it.

I believe FemShep has the sports jacket with the Limited/Collectors Edition.

 

Unfortunately, no. The Collectors Edition adds the hoodie for both mshep and femshep.

It has been about a week since I played Mass Effect. Put the disc for Mass Effect 3 in my Xbox 360 and continued the story of Dahlia Shepard (Flare Infiltrator).

 

Along with the rest of the crew, Dahlia Shepard went to the Citadel archives to find the person responsible for hacking her account. Turns out it was another ambush, but this time she had her armor, her Scorpion pistol, and a bunch of comedians backing her up. Dahlia was shocked to discover the chief assailant was actually her clone! She tried to reason with the clone, but the clone was having none of it.

 

After a brief jaunt through the archives, the clone and now former-ally-turned traitor Maya Brooks managed to trap Dahlia and her squadmates in Iridium vaults, then went to steal the Normandy. It was a minor setback, as Dahlia managed to escape and, with Joker's help, run to the docks. She fought through a few more CAT6 mercenaries and boarded the Normandy. After a brief firefight in the Normandy CIC, Dahlia took the elevator down to confront the clone, and the traitorous "Maya Brooks".

 

 

And then I saved the game and turned off the console. The clone battle will have to wait until tomorrow (I hope).

 

 

I was going to write some fictional backstory for some of this but decided against it. I have what I hope is a great idea for a fictionalized account of the clone fight. I also plan to record video of it, so I will try to share that as well.

Moving through the Collector ship we soon found the first human bodies, piles of human bodies actually... hard to see.

EDI also found out in the course that this was the same Collector vessel that we encountered on Horizon already, and even the one that ripped the Normandy apart. When we found a terminal, EDI's analysis of the Collector's DNA revealed that they are Protheans. Or were once. They've been genetically rewritten and turned into the Reaper's slaves. One more reason to kill them. That's a harsh fate.

We entered a huge open area with way too many pods for my liking... Mordin muses the Collectors are likely targeting earth. Well, sure looks like it.

We hit a dead end and Miranda warns about the absence of any Collectors so far. I used the console here and it was a trap of course. EDI detects something else in the Normandy's system and has trouble keeping the connection up. While EDI tried to download data we had to fight against a few Collector forces, and Harbinger also makes an appearance again.

After we were done EDI informed us to access the panel so she can regain control. She told us that the turian distress call was actually non-turian and that the Illusive Man must've known. So, he sends us right into this trap? Miranda didn't want to believe it, but I don't doubt for a second that it's true. He's capable of such things.

Oh, he'll feel my wrath, but our first goal is getting the hell out of here. Fighting our way through, we reach the Normandy just in time before we were overrun by husks.

My chat with the Illusive Man was dominated by my anger as he explained that he knew we would make it, and that telling me his plans would've likely tipped the Collectors off. Such a bastard. I swallowed my anger and focused on what's important again. I'll get to you. In time.

At least now we know that we need to get a Reaper IFF from a derelict Reaper. I set up a meeting with the team, and while Jacob suggested going after the IFF right away, I agreed with Miranda on this one. First we need to finish building our team. This mission is anything but easy, and we likely won't make it out, but if we have any chance to do so at all, we need everyone at their best. That leaves looking for Thane and taking care of more loose ends.

 

As expected I had some trouble here and there, but overall it went fine, 3 deaths during the platform section and 1 from getting in the Praetorian's way

Forgot to take the Arc Projector with me, but it didn't really matter in the end I guess. Had squad Warp Ammo and that was pretty neat

 What bonus weapon did you take? Also, what did you find problematic with the platforms? The Scions or Harbinger?

[fraggle]

BTW has anyone gotten Shep to 180ish pull ups in The Apartment? How long does it take?

 

I did it once, never again. What a waste of time Don't remember how long exactly it took though, but it's... tedious.

Sniper Rifle, loved it the last time already I guess for an Adept that's ok? Or would something else work better? (I think it's Shotgun and AR training, right?)

It was a combination of both and dead squadmates The scions got Mordin and Miranda quite a lot and then Harby was too much to handle for me and approaching too fast. I first positioned them in the U-shape with me (left and right side, then both right side), then I sent Miranda ahead to the next cover in front of the U-shape, that went pretty good and I positioned both squadmates there Less deaths, yay!

Also one time, and that was the best ever, I was hit by Harby's attack and thrown out of cover, tried to get into cover again, but accidently/stupidly hopped over it directly towards Harby. Hello there. Attempted to throw a Warp at him before I went out, but too late

I recorded several times. Probably around 15-20 minutes if you count the cutscenes in between. I like to make Shepard wearing different dress while doing the pull ups, simply badass~~

I started a new playthrough, even though I finished my first one last week. I just thought that I rushed a little bit through the story, and I probably missed some conversations and interactions. So this time, since I know what's going on with the main story, I'm just taking my time and investigating everything, talking often with my crew and other NPCs, etc.

 

Just using my same character, imported my ME1 previous character so I have some skills and charm unlocked from the beginning. I'll then carry this save to ME2 and ME3, and I'll probably make the same choices and pick the same romance this time.

 

Also, I'm trying to take more screenshots this time, regretted not doing it on my first playthrough. Even thinking about recording it.

Lilian rescued the Council, accepted Ashley Williams back on the Normandy, saved Jacob Taylor, started a tease flirt with the reporter from IGN (pretty soon she will want to lick Lilian´s helmet), entered into Traynor´s hot shower using her gala uniform (what a mess!). All of this because Jacob put some extra weight over her head. She decided to forget men  and became a full reinvented lesbian.  Considering that the sentinel is the most versatile class in the battlefield, having some experience in a little of each field I though it would be appropriate to have a character who over the length of the trilogy has bisexual experiences.  It was a no-brainer to do this featuring a female shepard, because the romance with traynor is funny, unlike boring Kaidan and sad Steve. 

 

I decided to postpone the remaining missions on the krogan planet until tali is fully back, set on the engineering deck. Not that I will use her anyway, except from her mandatory mission. From now on, Omega aside, Ashley is my full-time partner, with James Vega on the second spot. 

 

Luckily, Lilian´s shepards are now dried and she can receive a group of Quarian admirals.

A group of students were being protected by their teacher – Jack. Wow. Shepard’s definitely missed a lot since being grounded. One would think he’d learn about keeping in touch with people, after that debacle with Ash on Horizon. But no, Shep still doesn’t understand email. He’s a biotic, dammit! He has no time for these complicated machines. Good thing EDI altered his omni-tool to auto-hack doors, or he’d still be stuck trying to piece together codes and connect circuit boards. 

That is simply perfect  How many times did Tali stand there thinking: "Damn it, Shepard, let me hack the door." 

[birefringent]

Could've sworn I've seen someone with a mod for Femshep and that jacket -- except it was cut high like Jack's.

There are these two versions that I know of

 

from http://firemadeflesh...-original-nilin

 

and a regular leather jacket

from http://elemods.blogs...jacket-for.html

 

I've used the first one myself. Never tried the second one.

About 14 minutes  Link

Maker preserve their stupid, stupid souls. Or don't. Honestly, I wouldn't hold it against you if you fried them with a couple of lightning bolts.

Renegade  John Shepard on insanity...

 

Went to Anderson's apartment for a mini siesta and had a conversation with Anderson himself. Anderson gave Shepard the apartment as a gift which was surprisingly generous considering Shepard keeps ignoring his intercom alert. Shepard hasn't given him a report since Earth (except from the mandatory conversation after Kai Leng and the Citadel). Traynor has reminded Shepard that Anderson was on standby via the intercom since Grissom Academy (I guess she can't take the hint that Shepard doesn't want to speak to him). Shepard should've asked where the shutter button was before finishing the conversation as they were set on automatic shutdown straight away. Shepard is a private person, I guess. Received a message from Joker who wants to eat sushi but Shepard just had an angry conversation with you after Thessia. He decided to meet Joker anyway and being famous has it's perks as he cut the line much to the chagrin of a few Asari (he was given a few disgusted glances ). Joker was there and Shepard thought the ensuing conversation would be awkward as they said they weren't going to talk with each other except for professional circumstances. But no, Joker had a friendly tone as though they didn't have a falling out . The sushi appointment smelt a little fishy and soon enough mercenaries barged in and shot the place up. Shepard used Joker intentionally as bait and escaped. Died three times in the market place through cluster grenades (These mercenaries aren't too concerned about preserving their grenade supply when they can throw 3 at a time). Liara was the one who met Shepard and commented on his outfit. Liara wasted no time in flirting it seems as Miranda has recently just died. Anyway, now wasn't the time for flirting as more mercenaries attacked at the showroom where James joined the team as well armed with a rocket launcher.

 

Went to the casino with the intention to speak to an arms smuggler. Shepard decided to take Javik, the angry Prothean to the casino as he will serve as a good distraction. Once inside the casino, he played some Quasar (just like old times),  watched a Prothean dance  and had a scintillating chat with one of the guests.

Guest: Can't stay away?

Shepard: I'm a masochist

Guest: No Way! I'm a Scorpio   

The casino arms dealer was found dead so everyone returned to the apartment. Had a conversation with Javik who said it wasn't a date  Liara is teaching the Prothean bad flirting habits.

 

Next stop is the archives to investigate some suspicious activity. Shepard found out the culprit and met his match. So Shepard needs to stop Commander Shepard. The clone was not a carbon copy of the real thing though as he doesn't have the facial crimson scars of evil. Shepard is undeterred though as he said "I look forward to killing myself" . Everyone was assigned different teams, at one point Garrus's team came face-to-face with a heavy mech. Shepard believed that they could handle it themselves and walked by. So Garrus's team had to deal with the heavy mech and Garrus noticed the lack of assistance. Garrus asked "Really, you're gonna walk on by!?" ... er yep. There was a Brooks betrayal and she tried  to trap Shepard in a vault. This only enraged Shepard who went into a renegade interrupt frenzy. The clone tried to steal the Normandy from under everyone's nose and departed the conversation by doing the ultimate insult of using a Commander Shepard catchphrase. Liara mentioned that 'I should go' "was one of the first things you said to me". Liara reassured Shepard that his catchphrase is alright by saying "you end the conversation on your terms". EDI's the one worried about air supply but your a mech!

 

Going to save the Normandy with EDI and Javik (James said he never gets picked which is true). EDI malfunctioned on the way to reclaim herself. Met Traynor on the way back and she was obviously confused about everything. Javik explained in his own way of "don't be stupid human, it was clearly a clone" . Got to the armoury for an Adept vs Adept showdown (died a lot). There was only room for one Shepard in the universe so he stepped on the clone's hand causing him to plummet towards an oncoming skyscraper. Shepard also shot Brooks in the back which was fitting because she was a backstabber. Joker wanted a party to celebrate and invited everyone.

 

Shepard got the party supplies and invited Cortez, EDI, James, Joker, Liara, Traynor, Garrus, Jacob and Javik. Shepard wasn't too enthusiastic in hosting a party so opted for the quiet conversation followed by keep it relaxed option. Javik still managed to get drunk though and was at the bar speaking with EDI. Shepard encouraged snack eating rather than drinking and supported the SR1 over the SR2. Garrus was the lone wolf of the party as he was on his own thinking about defence. Joker and Traynor were upstairs arguing over EDI. The third party option was to make some snacks. This resulted in Garrus still planning alone, Javik gambling and Samantha/EDI cooking. Shepard took the group photo and there is a massive gap on one side which serves as a reminder of who he's lost. Shepard awoke alone and has a renewed determination to stop the Reapers. Everyone left the apartment and Shepard had a conversation with Joker before boarding the Normandy. After this brief conversation, Shepard realises that Joker isn't so bad after all and decided to forgive their previous disagreements.

 

Everyone has rested up and the Normandy is in top shape so it's time to take the fight to the Illusive Man's base.

 

(Definitely, my favourite DLC of the trilogy )

What do you mean, walk by? You can avoid fighting that Atlas?

[MrGDL87]

Well, I probably meant run by  ... the mech didn't drop down and Garrus's team destroyed it in seconds.

Never did that! I always destroyed the mech

Yup. One of your team mates will always have something to say if you do. I have heard both Steve and Tali comment on Shepard not fighting the Atlas.

But me and Wrex like watching those things explode.... :x
