Traynor needs more love  :P

LoL, okay. But they shared the same hairstyle so I have tweak some bits...

Spoiler

 

Btw, just installed Ashley Marksman fix. Somehow it patched the game and now everything runs too quickly without lags. But everyone seems to talk like they didn't need to catch a breath or something.

Talk with Traynor and James and Noveria Fighter Base:

Spoiler

 

After a short nap I felt refreshed, and I saw that both Traynor and James had sent me an e-mail to meet up with me.

I invited Traynor up for our chess match, however she was very fascinated with my shower. I told her she can use it, seeing she seems to like it that much. She expressed how good the showering felt and mentioned someone she might hope to date. I wished her good luck and let her know to just tell me if she needs anything (poor Traynor, and Hannah - totally oblivious to it! That was mean from me, but I had to try it out :D).

Traynor is very good, she beat me in our chess match. After a nice relaxing time and a joke involving me and a krogan we settled for a rematch, then Traynor left.

I let James know I have a bit of time if he wanted to talk, and he came up. It went a bit more serious than with Traynor. He asked me about the N7 program, if it had been easy for me to accept. I was eager to join back then, be the best soldier I could, so yes, it was. He revealed that someone forwarded an N7 commendation, but he's hesitant, telling me he's not sure if he wanted that, or if he was even ready to lead again. Our conversation shifted back to his mission on Fehl Prime, and I asked him again what had happened. He was willing to tell me about it now. What he experienced there sounded bad. I know all too well what it's like to loose people, it can either break you or make you into what you are today. I don't think it broke James yet, but it's clear he is still very troubled and haunted by what happened, his voice missing the usual confident tone.

A part of me wanted to toughen him up, tell him that every soldier is expendable and that as a leader, you have to be ready to send your squad to their deaths, but... I didn't have the heart. It might be too late for me, but not for him. He is a good and kind man, and I'd rather he would not loose that quality. You can be a great leader without being like I am... ready to sacrifice anything to get something done, no matter what.

James cares for people a great deal, I saw it many times, and I'm sure he can make the right calls for himself if he had the confidence. He just has to come to terms with the fact that something like Fehl Prime can happen anytime.

Maybe I see a younger, more innocent me in him... So I just tried to comfort him as best as I could, saying he can't blame himself for being put into that situation on Fehl Prime. And that if he was promoted, something must've gone right. I told him that the right choice is often not the easy one, and that every N7 has sacrificed a piece of themselves, or their soldiers. It's tough, but ultimately rewarding, so I encouraged James to go for it.

I hope our conversation helped him, he shows a lot of potential and I can see him as a good leader. He just has to find the courage to do it again.

And then the James I knew came back out again, commenting about how things around here were a little too soft for him. I teased him that the bed is a lot harder than it looks. I don't know if he took that serious, but he seemed to honestly ask me if I'm flirting with him.

Haha, all in good fun, right, Vega? I folded my arms and he backed down. The game is still on.

Afterwards we headed for Noveria, and it's still as cold as back then when we dealt with the Rachni queen. Seems like ages ago.

Hackett has requested our help with a Cerberus fighter base there. James, Javik and I went in to disable the defenses so Hackett could seize the base. We were in and out quick, got rid of the Cerberus troops there, and gained some of their fighters for our war effort.

 

James and Cortez discussed the Mako and the Hammerhead today. I love that one :) Too bad the first line is buggy and doesn't play (need to check if it was the same in my other playthroughs).

 

Oh, and Cap, I made a trial run on the Fighter Base mission with the Phaeston, but due to the weight the cooldowns of my powers were not at 200% . It was okay though and I will use it a bit more when I replay missions for James's dialogue to see if it really bothers me that the cooldown is a bit slower than usual :)

Captain Anderson told Ryal the Normandy was getting docked for maintenance and that she needed to take some shore leave. After dispatching a clone that Cerberus had created of her back when she died (or didn't), she used the rest of her leave to spend time with everyone on her crew.

 

- Had to bail Grunt out of trouble with C-Sec; she wasn't happy with the bill the officers sent her for all his shenanigans

- Helped Traynor beat this asari who was talking some serious smack in the arcade

- Listened to Wrex groan about the female Krogans taking advantage of his bits now that they're fertile again then proceed to ice said bits over drinks with her at the bar

- Spent some time reminiscing with Javik about 50,000 years ago during his people's cycle

- Listened to Liara fondly remember her mother

- Warned James not to lose his Alliance issued clothes in card games

- Pushed Joker to get out there on the dance floor and shake what his momma gave him

- Talked with Jack about how she was proud that she'd found a less deadly purpose in her life; Jack blamed Ryal for making her feel these weird new things

- Went shooting out in the Presidium with Garrus and showed him who's the long range boss; she has a feeling he took it easy on her because he really is the long range king; shotguns are more her style anyway, close and deadly

- Had lunch with Kaidan and rekindled their relationship; she decided her days may be numbered and that she'd rather spend them loving him in between all the doom and gloom

 

Joker came up with the idea to have a party for the crew and she was happy to do so. She'll be grabbing some party supplies soon and inviting everyone over to the new apartment Captain Anderson gave her. He seems set on staying on Earth for good so she was happy to take it off his hands.

I haven't watched your vid yet, but for my Engineer the Phaeston V + Eagle V gave a weight bonus of 179%. If you took off the Eagle I'll bet it would have been 200%. Or an Eagle with a ultra-light mod would probably also be 200%. Have you specced for weight capacity or a squad bonus at rank 5 of biotic mastery?

Landed on the Citadel after Noveria

Displayed brilliance and charm during the snap inspection

Took several long elevator rides

Stopped an AI from self-destructing

Convinced Mom's old military friend to go to the VA

Planted a bug for Emily Wong

Posed for a picture for a weird fan

Told Kahoku that his men were lured into a thresher maw trap

Told Garoth that his brother was dead

Convinced a pregnant widow to get gene therapy

Ah, I haven't uploaded that one, sorry ^_^

But I might have found my mistake now, I might have not leveled it up enough, or even at all yet. I think I also had 179%, but with only the Phaeston equipped.

I went for squad bonus :) But let's see, I will check when I'm at home again if I actually really forgot to level up (wouldn't surprise me :rolleyes:).

Cap, home now and I checked the Phaeston. It was only Lv. 2, so I upgraded it to Lv. 5, power recharge speed is at 195% with only the Phaeston equipped, but I do like it :) So I guess I'll go for it!

I remove the weight limit for consistencies sake.

Why on Mindoir can Shepard carry every gun and use her powers without issue in the first game but suddenly struggles to throw a singularity if carrying an assault rifle in ME3.

Jen Shepard (Biotic/Slam Soldier) was glad the clone crap was over, and decided to take advantage of shore leave. Unfortunately for her, "shore leave" means being accosted by your crew at every opportunity.

 

First, EDI decided to propose to Shepard. EDI said she wasn't proposing, but it is really hard to tell when EDI is joking.

 

Then Shepard decided to visit the casino again. She went to the bar to dance, but bumped into Garrus and had to play wingman. That soured her on dancing.

She went to go bet on the varren races, and bumped into Kasumi. Considering that the last time she was at the casino the owner ended up dead, Jen decided that having a friend and former crew member rob the casino on her second visit was a really bad idea. So she convinced Kasumi to stop then bolted out of there.

 

Next, Jen wandered into the arcade. Not much of gamer (she once lost to a 5 year old at Pong), she decided to play some of the Claw game, only to run into Zaeed. Surprisingly it did not get violent and everyone made it out alive, although Zaeed did take Shepard out to lunch... and made her pay. Gee thanks, Zaeed.

 

Cortez then surprised her with a shuttle ride... and then cut off the inertia dampeners, which was a bad idea just coming off a heavy lunch that was not sitting right in her stomach. 

 

Having decided that no one was going to let her relax, Jen decided to get back to work, and visited the Quarians to ask about borrowing their fleet for the Reaper War. But just her luck, the stupid Bucket Heads had started their own war with the Tin Cans and were losing. Not wanting to waste the opportunity, she took Prothy the Prothean and The Walking Codex and boarded a Geth Dreadnaught for a quick sight-seeing tour. It was a pretty boring trip, but they did meet Robo-Fanboy who disabled the ship and then joined them back on the Normandy.

Holiday week yay~~ and I should be reading some cookbooks instead of gaming all day again. I'm putting a hold on Revka's playthrough for now. I will finish her ME3 gifs set soon once I finish the second draft her novel (Yeah.. that's what happen when you wrote a fanfic and pass the 50k words mark) and I don't need more post-gaming depression...  

 

After a churn through Gibbed, Shierra is no longer the first prototype for Revka. She's a reformed renegade who solo through her hardened life being the paragon of war with her 'kicking ass and taking names' warrior ladies.

 

And weirdly, she look more like a version of default ME3 Shep.... too bad, I can't hide her ungodly long bottom eyelashes with more eye shadows like I did with Rev

Spoiler

and she befriended with a certain com specialist...

Spoiler

Then she got herself another companion...

Spoiler

But I'm distracted by this clipping.... but not as bad as that bottom lashes...

Spoiler

Then we have a LonelyShep playthrough. Her name is Andraste because I intend to make her a martyr. She killed almost everyone in ME2 and currently she found that she really like Garrus being dead...

Spoiler

 
I really like her looks more than Shierra's (okay, its bad to name a game character after you). However, I had to use the character texture overhaul tpf because the available dark shade doesn't look good in vanilla and the lighting is atrocious... which turns out really good and everyone in the game somehow look hotter than usual.. but Revvie is more expressive than either one of them..
 

too bad, lonely party awaits her. 

 

And sadly the beard mod didn't work with the overhaul mod.

For some reason, I forgot to mention that Jen Shepard met with Javik on the Silversun Strip and somehow they both ended up with bit parts in a movie. A movie that looks to be the worst movie since the 2182 remake of Battlefield Earth.

The Walking Codex


Who is the walking codex? Liara?

...........
I went to Tuchanka with Wrex, Mordin, Eve(healthy), Javik and Liara. I cured the genophage, sent Mordin up to the Shroud reluctantly. Now I'm going to the Citadel to save the new council.
I realized how much I like the soundtrack. I don't know if Mordin's scene up on the Shroud would be this much striking and moving without that specific music. The composers did an excellent job in this game.

Perseus Shepard went to Feros and found out about the Thorian. He somehow was persuasive enough to strike a deal with that ExoGeni representative (and was the first time I did that in any playthrough, so I have no idea how that'll affect helping Feros on Illium, or if it'll help in ME3, so no spoilers please,) then he went back to the Citadel and got grounded, convinced a contractor to seek help, stole the Normandy, went to the Maroon Sea Cluster to catch up on some leads he picked up on Feros, defeated an invasion from the Armstrong Cluster, then went to Ilos. After establishing a relationship with Liara, he fought his way through Ilos, discovered the Citadel is a Mass Relay to darkspace and the conduit backdoor onto the Citadel, he rushed in, fought his way to Saren, hacked a few turrets en route, convinced Saren to shoot himself in the head, saved the Destiny Ascension, and Sovereign was destroyed.

 

Then Shepard, against his personal feelings, recommended Udina to be the human councilor, because he feels that although Anderson would do a better job of making sure the defense of the galaxy would never get ignored, he knew full well that politicians are unreliable allies at best, but it may be helpful to have Udina owe him a favor....that and as a Spacer born and bred, he knows he would never be able to cut it if he's not on a ship fighting the good fight and feels Anderson would be the same. Let the pencil-pushers that want the job do it while those who have the skills to be on the front lines be there. 

 

Perseus was then sent to investigate Geth, was killed in an attack by an unknown vessel that could detect the Normandy even with the stealth systems active, and woke up two years later in a Cerberus lab, met up with Tali on Freedom's Progress, is pleased that he somehow constructed an attack drone between defeating Saren and being killed which came in handy with the heavy mech, and has just reunited with Joker. 

 

As an Engineer, he sees the potential of an AI on board, but his experiences with the Geth make him a little leery. (I'm not actually sure what he'll do with Legion. I'm sorely tempted to have him sell Legion to Cerberus because he knows full well the devastation that can happen if Legion gets into Normandy's systems, or if he'll allow curiosity to get the better of him since Legion was not hostile, or will not be hostile as the case may be, and actually attempts to communicate.)

Jen Shepard (Biotic/Slam Soldier) was dropped off on Rannoch to go find Admiral Peacemaker and bring him back to the Normandy. The trip took longer than expected, since a bunch of Geth-bangers were causing trouble along the way. And despite it being nighttime, all the bars and clubs were closed so Jen and the Admiral had put an end to their date much earlier than expected.

 

Mister Roboto had invited Jen to go and see the Geth Consensus, and not wanting to miss out on what should be the visit of lifetime, she took him up on the offer. Such a disappointment. She expected a large, vibrant virtual world like the recent movie Tron: Andromeda, but with a lot more ******-erotic robot porn. Instead it was very drab with a lot of history video. Ugh. 

 

Maybe the Geth Base on Rannoch everyone is talking about will be more fun.

- Defeated a rogue AI on the moon but not before rummaging around an ancient, crashed probe launched by the Soviets.
- Helped out Garrus by leading him to a particularly gruesome doctor he hadn't been able to catch on the Citadel.
- Got a message that some Marines were holding scientists hostage, only to find out they were responsible for a horrific attack on Akuze. After letting the good corporal kill the scientist he was surprised and saddened to see the Marine turn the gun on himself.

Then Shepard went to bed because he'd had a long day.

Unless you take her with you constantly, and you can see she can actually be quite ruthless, but shows a lot of intelligence, and unless Ashley or Wrex is in the party, to my experience, she is the one who'll urge Shepard to sacrifice the council, says she hopes a lot of those Geth ******* die when Shepard removes the claw to the ship on Feros.

 

She's pretty well-developed, touting her father and pushing her to excellence, ruthless pragmatism mixed with that sense of awe of seeing the galaxy. It's kind of a shame that most of the development is only seen if she is a constant companion.
