Threw a party with crewmates past and present. Unwound a bit in the Armax Arena. Took out Cronos Station and happily stabbed Kai Leng. Now heading to Earth to blow the Reapers to hell.

 

Oh, and finally found the Saber at Sanctuary.

Arwen Shepard got her ride back! I guess Captain Anderson felt sorry for her, so he helped her steal the keys from Daddy Udina.

 

After leaving the Citadel, Arwen went on a shopping spree. If you're going to commit grand theft spaceship, why not max out the credit card while your at it? She went to the Noveria Mall and found a new Gucci outfit for Tali, something they call Colossus armor. Sweet. I hope Tali appreciates Shepard's thoughtfulness.

 

She then went to the Asgard system where she intercepted a distress call about an asteroid heading for the colony Terra Nova. Some Batarian terrorists had hijacked the asteroid and were planning to drop it on the colony. Shepard turned off all the fusion torches that were pushing the rock. One of the torch controls was surrounded by proximity mines that left her a six inch corridor to wiggle through lest she set them off. What numbnutz planted these mines all over the place? What was the point of that? She never did get an explanation.

 

After turning off the torches, she went to the heart of the complex where she found the leader of the terrorists, a Batarian name Balak. Balak tried to explain why he was trying to kill 4 million humans, but his reasoning was pretty incoherent. He told Shepard if she didn't let him go, he would kill the hostages he had captured. Shepard was saddened by her decision to let the hostages die, but she simply could not let Balak go lest he engineer more atrocities in the future. She then killed Balak in a fit of anger.

 

While the events of Terra Nova were horrible, Shepard did score two more sets of light, Colossus armor. So now Tali, Liara and Shepard were all decked out in the latest fashion. They decided the best way to show off their new threads was to head to Ilos and flaunt them at a party Saren was hosting there. But not before Shep and the blue space-babe did the wild thing. Ah, biotic bliss!

 

After figuring out a way to get into the archives on Ilos, Shep and company met a Prothean VI named Vigil. Vigil revealed just how incredibly stupid the Reapers really were. Shep already had a low opinion of Reaper smarts after talking to Sovereign on Virmire, but apparently, even that low regard was not low enough. The Conduit is a way to get to the Citadel? That's what Saren has been searching for this whole time? How is it that it never occurred to a self-aware space ship that Saren could have used a space ship to get to the Citadel? He never needed to attack Eden Prime at all. I am quite sure Saren has been on the Citadel numerous times and didn't need to use the Conduit to get there. Not only are Reapers stupid beyond belief, they are apparently blind as well. It took the Reapers centuries to conquer the Protheans, yet during all that time they never noticed the mini-mass relay sitting right next to the Citadel Tower? Defeating these guys should prove to be easy. I'm guessing they left a big red "off switch" somewhere on the Citadel that we just need to find. "Stupid Machines!"

 

Anyway, after talking with Vigil, Shepard, Tali and Liara took off after Saren to stop him from taking control of the Citadel and letting in the Reapers from dark space. We finally caught up with him in the Council Chamber. In the end Saren proved to be an honorable and strong-willed Turian. With his last ounce of strength, he fought off Sovereign's control and committed suicide rather than be a mere puppet of the Reapers. Shepard actually felt a little sorry for the guy.

 

After regaining control of the Citadel, Shepard found out the Council had evacuated to the Destiny Ascension which was under heavy attack. The most powerful ship in the Council's fleet proved to be a paper tiger when faced with an actual battle. We're happy the Asari were not involved in the construction of the Normandy! Just then Joker radioed in to say that the entire 5th fleet was standing by and ready to rush in to save the Ascension. At this point, Shepard herself experienced a bout of acute stupidity and told Joker to save the Council. The fate of the entire galaxy lies in the balance. If we don't stop Sovereign all organic civilization will be wiped out. Yet Shepard requested that the Alliance divert ships to saving three numbnutz that couldn't find their behinds with both hands rather than concentrating on taking down Sovereign. Shepard can't explain what came over her. It was as if some outside force took control of her and forced her to make such an idiotic decision. She is beginning to worry that she might be indoctrinated.

 

Fortunately, Shepard's momentary bout of idiocy was balanced out by Sovereign's chronic and incurable imbecility. The Reaper apparently decided to transfer most of what few brains it had into the corpse of Saren and fight Shepard conventionally. Ashley was worried that an infantry woman like herself would have no place in a war against 2 kilometer long space machines. She need not have worried. When push comes to shove, hand weapons can always defeat whatever foe we face in our universe. (Thank god we don't live in some alternate universe, one where they don't have mass relays and biotics!) So after blowing out Sovereign's few brains, the ship went into a hard restart, giving the Alliance time destroy it, and whatever brains Sovereign had left in it.

 

Following our victory, the Council showed up and acknowledged humanity's sacrifice by offering us a seat on the Council. Their gratitude, however, lasted all of one week. Shepard was promptly sent out to the frontier to hunt down Geth, while the Council sat around and convinced themselves the Reapers were just a figment of Shepard's imagination. Their self-deception was made even easier when Shepard was apparently killed when the Normandy was blown up over the planet Alchera.

 

Except, Shepard is not dead. Right now she is in some lab and a woman named Miranda is telling her over the radio that she needs to find a weapon because the lab is under attack. Uh, what?!

[Farangbaa]

Tianshi Shepard dealt with Fist; I didn't feel it was necessary to kill him, cause as Fist said himself: he's already a dead man now that the Shadow Broker is looking for him. Quickly made my way through a mob of goons until I got to some Quarian who's supposed to have information on Saren. Quickly dealt with the assassins and told the suitrat to give me the evidence. I took her with me to Udina, who wasn't all that happy with the firefights, but the evidence seemed to turn him around. The Quarian joined up with us.

 

We showed the evidence to the council... that idiot Anderson felt it was necessary to bring up the Reapers. You'd think a guy as old as he would know better how to deal with the council... but no. The guy just yells and screams whenever Saren's involved. I certainly don't hope this guy will be accompany me everywhere. Anyway, I'm a Spectre now. Saren won't know what hit his leathery backside.

 

But before I head I'm going to tour the Citadel. I didn't do anything yet but acquire the evidence. So I visitid, in non-chronological order:

-The Consort; helped her deal with some stuff. Got a trinket and nookie, yeah.

-Samesh Batia: told him his wife was saving more lifes in death. Ashley was there to tell him it was for the best.

-Scanned all keepers and dealt with the scientists so seemed to think they were in some spy movie.

-Dealt with some AI stealing credits: good fun. Nice conversation.

-Met some dude named Conrad Verner... what a tool. Gave him an autograph anyway. Gotta respect the fans.

-Told the Turian to let the Hanar preach. I don't like Turians.

-Took care of some thugs for Dr. Michel. Got a discount... and a good look at her pretty face. *cough*

-Gave some disks to Emily Wong. Asked her for more money.

-Saved Rita's sisters, dealt with Jax by having him arrested by C-Sec after giving the mods to Chellick.

 

I also met a curious woman named Helena Blake, who I told I wouldn't do her ****, some dude named Garroth missing his brother and learned about missing marines from Kahoku.

 

Then I wondered the Normady for a while to get to my crew. I like the Alliance personel, not so sure about the Krogan and Turian yet though. The Quarian seems harmless.

 

Then I went off to save some biotic commune led by Major Kyle. Saved the entire bunch.

Found the Tresher Maw responsible for killing Kahoku's men.

[Obadiah]

Saved the Council

Defeated Saren

Suggested Udina for the Council - first time I've done that. He actually gives a pretty good speech about humanity's strength, and how together with the Council they will fight the Reapers.

 

[SporkFu]

We set course for the Citadel after Noveria. It was time to meet councilor Valern. I just hoped I didn't start giggling again when I saw him. Damn that Grunt. For some reason we couldn't get clearance to dock. Don't they know who I am? Joker got on the emergency channel and Thane answered. Thane? Huh? Grunt started to chuckle that little chuckle of his, and suddenly I had a bad feeling about this.

 

Cerberus. How many of them do I have to kill before TIM throws in the towel? As I headed for the shuttle bay I heard Joker make a bet with EDI whether maintaining this army of his is costing TIM more than the Lazarus Project by now. Everyone's a comedian. I should tell him the collectors are attacking again. Maybe he'll break something.

 

James had been on every mission with me so far, and I didn't want him to try and out-badass Wrex for awhile so I left him on the Normandy. I figured Garrus' tactical knowledge of the C-sec headquarters layout would come in handy, and Javik had some new biotic grenades he wanted to field-test so I had my squad. Cortez got us as close to headquarters as he could, and we exited the shuttle smack in the middle of a firefight. Gotta admit when Garrus has his head in the game, it's damn fun watching him get a headshot kill. When the fight was over, Grunt said to me, "Shepard. Hey look Shepard. Are you looking? See? Bailey didn't die." Sonofa-

 

We got Bailey patched up and he got us into headquarters. Place was shot up pretty bad, and it seemed the Cerberus troops left on guard duty thought everyone was dead, because they pretty much just stood around until we killed them. Found the councilor. Garrus' sniper visor revealed that TIM's new space ninja was wearing plot armor. Uh oh. We were in trouble. Thane caught up to us and said to me, "Shep. Guy killed me, Shep. With a sword. How weird is that?" ... not so weird when you run right into the sword, dude. While armed with a gun. I mean... The hell?  

 

 

We fought our way past a lot of Cerberus troops chasing after the ninja. Only tense moment was when I unintentionally got too close to a couple phantoms. My turrets and drones helped me stay out of sword range, so it wasn't too bad. I'm so glad that I don't need line-of-sight to use squad powers. Later, we had a brief standoff with Kaidan. He was doing the right thing, so he gets a pass, but did he really think I wouldn't have shot him? Tela Vasir thought I wouldn't shoot her, too. Ah well, it all worked out. I finally got payback on Udina for locking me out of the Normandy SR1 when we wanted to go to Ilos. Dead center, right in the chest. Grunt approved.

 

Total number of reloads: 0. Satisfying mission. Did feel bad about Thane though. Time to go say goodbye to him at the hospital.

I wish my TV could take screen shots

 

Does Alt + PrtScn not work? I've seen recommendation for Fraps, which is apparently free, but I can't really speak on how well it works myself.

[DanishViking]

im starting mass effect all over 

( on ps3) 

so today i just became the first human spectre !!

and my journy goes on

[themikefest]

I just started my kill all female squadmate playthrough. What I will do is not recruit Wrex so that Mordin can live in ME3 leaving Thane to bethe only male squadmate to die. At this point I'm not sure if I will have Morinth kill Samara and then kill Morinth on the suicide mission. I will have an answer by the time I get to that point.

 

I will be using my primary femshep, Elizabeth Nancy Shepard(Lisa). An Earthborn/soldier/ruthless. She hates aliens and will do everything she can to put humanity first. But in this playthrough she will have a leash when it comes to male squadmates who are alien.

 

Lisa reaches the cockpit just in time for the Normandy to reach the relay putting them on course to Eden Prime. She wished she had a razor to shave that beard off the clown's face. She will laugh if he ever has to put on a gas mask and realize he will die because the mask didn't have a propoer seal due to facial hair. She looks to her right and sees Alenko. He reminds her of Elvis Presley, a singer/actor back in the 1900's, with his sideburns. She should make him shave them off.since their not in regulation.

 

As they approach Eden Prime, a video pops up showing ground forces under attack by some unknown enemy. After a moment a giant looking "hand" or maybe a ship is seen with red lightning coming from it. That doesn't look good. Anderson, the ships Captain, tells us to get ready.

 

With Jenkins and Alenko as her side, they move forward when Jenkins tells Alenko that the floating objects are gas bags. As we move forward, Jenkins is killed by drones. That sucks. Found out Jenkins didn't have his shields charged all the way up causing him to be killed. I liked the kid. So me and Alenko destroy the drones only to run into a few more.

 

We see someone running from the enemy and helped destroy them. The woman we helped is wearing pink and white armor. What kind of crap is that? Is that some new Victoria Secrets armor I don't know about? The woman, Ashley Williams, told us she thinks its the Geth attacking and that she beleives her whole unit is dead. I already don't like her. Man that armor looks so silly. If I was the enemy I would probably be killed laughing so hard looking at the armor. Hopefully when this mission is over, I don't have to see that crap or Ashley anymore.

 

Ashley leads us to where the beacon was and see that it has been moved. We kill a few machines and what appears to be human looking husks. That had to hurt being impaled like that. After they're killed, I find out my locksmithing skill sucks, so we won't be going in any building. I see this giant ship, the same one in the vid, lifting off. I wonder who's ship that belongs to. It was massive. I wonder if I can get one.

 

We discover Nilhus's body, a Turian Spectre that was on the mission with us, with no clues as to who killed him. A dockworker came out of hiding and told us another Turian, Saren, shot Nilhus in the back. He pointed in the direction Saren went. Something not right about all this. Lisa gets rid of a bunch of machines while making her way to the cargo train. We finally reach the other platform only to find out its rig with explosives. I disabled each one while A and K get rid of the robots.

 

With the beacon secured, Kaidan deciides to take a closer look. I had to throw him away only to be caught by the beacon sending all kinds of images in my head causing me to blackout.

 

I awoke in the medbay with a headache and Dr.Chakwas telling me that I was going to be ok. Anderson walks in asking me what happened. I got in his face about the Geth. Anderson said Saren hates humans. I'll just kill him and that will be the end of it. He also mentioned that we need to inform the council about what happened. I told him that I don't give a crap about the council. He also informed me that he had Williams assigned to the Normandy. WHAT? WHAT? That broad who wears pink armor is now on the same ship as me. At this point I decided any and all female squadmates will be killed no matter the cost. Forget Saren. Ashley Williams needs to be killed. I felt like killing Anderson. Lucky for him he's male.

 

We make it to the Ambassador's office, who happens to be talking with the council giving them an earful.

 

Lisa will visit the council later.

How do you guys take screenshots of ME1?

Run it through steam? It's what I do for me3 (run origin.exe through steam then launch me3) as I have me1/2 on steam.

[Farangbaa]

I have the old school DVD version. You know.. with a box

 

Today Tianshi Shepard got into the Mako after killing a turret on foot for extra exp. The Mako then flew all across the planet in a highly unpredicatable manner.

 

Insane bug lol.

[von uber]

You can still run the .exe through steam though to enable the screen shot function.
Just use the 'add programme' function.

[metalfenix]

I started a femshep run on ME1 two weeks ago...but I left it after therum, had enough of the ME trilogy for a while.

 

By that time, I decided to reinstall Origin, and suddenly my Dragon age II began to update, I wondered if I could still play it after a long time (I figured I screwed something along the way and the game would be unplayable)...and here I am, in nightmare, just about to do the "Act of Mercy" quest with my blood mage Hawke

[Farangbaa]

You can still run the .exe through steam though to enable the screen shot function.
Just use the 'add programme' function.

 

Might try that later, though I doubt it's gonna work. I have to run ME as administrator for it to work at all, don't think steam does that automatically

When was the Mako ever predictable?

[Farangbaa]

When was the Mako ever predictable?

 

After years of playing ME, I can say with pride that I understand the Mako physics.

 

 

Except for this bug. That's just crazy

[Melbella]

Shot the tube. Woke up in a pile of rubble.

[ImaginaryMatter]

When was the Mako ever predictable?

 

That thing had enough personality to be a squadmate.

 

Here's a drink to you, Mako.

[cap and gown]

There's no gentle way to put this: Arwen Shepard has gone stark, raving mad.

 

After fighting her way out of that lab she found herself in, Shepard found out that she had been DEAD for two years. That's pretty crazy, right?

 

But it gets even worse. Turns out the people who brought her back to life are with Cerberus, the organization that wiped out her entire unit on Akuze and almost got her killed as well. That would seem to mean Cerberus was nuts, yes?

 

Yet all of that pales in comparison to the fact that Shepard is now WORKING FOR Cerberus! Like I said, Arwen Shepard has gone stark, raving mad.

 

Try as she might to deny the fact that she is working for them, there's no getting around the fact that she is flying around in a Cerberus ship with a Cerberus crew and even wearing a Cerberus uniform. She is even reporting in to the leader of the Cerberus organization, someone called the Illusive Man, AND NOT HANGING UP ON HIM! Anyone familiar with Shepard's history with the Council would realize that that right there speaks volumes.

 

To the extent that she has tried to explain this strange turn of events to herself, she has justified her actions by saying that the Colonists need her help. Being raised on a colony world herself, she has a great deal of empathy for fellow colonials. And, apparently, neither the Council nor the Alliance is willing to do anything to stop the abduction of more colonists. If she can use the resources of this Cerberus group to end the abductions, so be it.

 

She did go to the Citadel to see if what TIM said about the Alliance and the Council was true. She didn't just take his word for it. Alas, it turns out he was right. It is up to Shepard and Cerberus to stop the abductions.

 

The Council did offer to give her her Spectre status back. When she asked if that would mean she would need to file reports, they quickly assured her that she would not need to. Well, they may not be the brightest bunch out there, but at least they finally figured out that Shepard's "reports" were little more than elaborate crank calls. She accepted their offer and then quickly made use of the fact that she was, at least nominally, a government employee to get a discount at the local souvenir shop. Who knows where else being a Spectre might come in handy?

 

After a shopping spree on the Citadel, Shepard headed over to Omega to recruit a Salarian Scientist who might be able to help counter some of the technology the Collectors use to disable their victims. (The Collectors are the name of the race of Aliens responsible for the abductions.) While there, she met a couple of old acquaintances, the small time hoodlum Fist who had tried to have Tali assassinated, and Helena Blake who had merged her syndicate with Aria's, Omega's crime boss. What a small galaxy! Even stranger, at the colony she first went to in order to investigate the abductions she ran into Tali. Wow, talk about coincidences!

 

Aria told Shepard how to find the Salarian, someone name Mordin Solus. So Shepard fought her way through a large group of Vorcha to reach Solus's clinic and ask for his help. He agreed to help on condition that Shepard help him disperse a cure for the plauge infesting the district. Shepard agreed and fought her way through another army of Vorcha in order to dispense the cure through the district's ventilation system. Solus has now taken up quarters in Normandy's lab and has even been working to upgrade Normandy's systems.

 

Right now, Shepard is investigating the disappearance of a Cerberus ship that was transporting a prototype ground vehicle. Please tell me it is not another Mako!

 

I should also mention that some of the old Normandy's crew is serving on the new Normandy. Dr. Chakwas is back as is Joker. Joker, apparently, doesn't have any problems working for Cerberus. Something about leather seats.

[von uber]

Giving DA:O a bit of a rest; so thought I'd start a new Shep (and try out free cam on ME1):

 

Amy Shepard; Earthborn, Ruthless, Vanguard

 

 

Currently on-hold as I d/l some hi-res textures

[geth47]

I had some problems with the texture mods, so I decided to re-install the game (with just console commands enabled), and remade from the start.

 

During the weekend Jim Shepard managed to start his journey, rescue lira, finish noveria, do all the citadel and uncharted side-missions (aside from the renegade one since he´s full paragon), romance liara, have ashley killed on virmire, complete all squad-mates quests, save the asteroid, take all the  first scores at pinnacle station, gain an apartment. He just did not do the collecting missions, aside from 10 writing from the matriarch. 

 

The only things remaining now are the mission on feros, the side-missions liberated after completing feros, the final set of citadel mission, the interview with the tabloid reporter, and going to ilos. 

 

After that, and saving the concil, he will spend me2 being loyal to liara, while still trying to be a paragon.

This will be my canonical male shepard, with kaidan alive. Later, I will make a canonical female, with Ash alive. 

 

This shep is a biotic, spacer, war hero, and only uses biotics in his missions. During almost the whole time, he had kaidan and liara at his side.  In ME2, he will have Jacob and Samara (as soon as he can dump miranda) trying to emulate what he did in me1. In me3, he will use liara and javik at first, as then go back to liara and kaidan as soon as he becomes available. 

 

My next female shepard will be the opposite, the queen tactician of the battlefield, with Tali, Legion, Edi, always trying to find smart, safe and easy ways to end the combat with minimum sweat under her armor. I antecipate a very fun run in me3, with lots of turrets, VIs levitating and a certain general from cerberus frustrated when being outsmarted. 

[themikefest]

Elizabeth Nancy Shepard finally met the council. She's not impressed. She see's dumb, dumber and dumbest in front of her. She hates politicians with a passion. She asks herself why are we talking to Aliens? We should just wipe them out and takeover. She looks up to her left to see the hologram of Saren who is suspected in being involved with what happened on Eden Prime. Out of the blue Anderson mentions her vision. What an idiot. We decided that we have to find evidence against Saren.

 

We get to Chlora's Den to talk with a guy naed Harkin, when we get attacked by a couple of assassins. What the heck was that about? Seeing Harkin reminded me why I hate men. He was disgusting piece of garbage. When the he called me princess, I wanted to cut off his pathetic little whatever and shove it down his throat. He finally told me where Garrus, a Turian investigating Saren, could be found.

 

At the clinic I kill a few goons trying to kill a doctor named Chloe Michel. She tells me that a Quarian wanted to trade information for safe place to hide.  Garrus joins my team and with Kaidan with me the 3 of us go see some guy named Fist. We get to Chlora's Den and attacked by numerous thugs. These guys suck. I barely got a scratch. After Fist tells Lisa the where abouts of the Quarian, I put a new hole in his head. That should clear his mind a little bit.

 

We race to find the Quarian and see her being attacked by assassins. With them dead I took the Quarian to the Ambassador's office and learn she has a recording of Saren talking about Eden Prime. The worst part is Udina assigns the Quarian, named Tali, to help in stopping Saren. That is really messed up. I join the Alliance only to get stabbed in the back. Now I will have to find a wazy to kill 2 female squadmates.

 

We present the evidence to the council who revoke Saren's Spectre statis. They refuse to go after him thinking it might start a war and that protecting a few dozen human colonies isn't worth it. What comes around, goes around. Remember council, when I get the chance to kill you, I will. I become humanity's first Spectre and tasked with going after Saren.

 

I pick up some new equipment and run into a Krogan named Wrex who wanted to join me to take down Saren. I told him to get lost. Udina and Anderson were talking when I approached them and learned Anderson stepped down and the SR1 is mine. Good. I don't need Anderson. He would slow me down.

 

With Lisa in charge, she is off to Feros to help the colony and see what the Geth are doing

[cap and gown]

Is the goal here to also keep all the male squad mates alive? If so, I think you'll need to keep Tali alive through the Beam Run so that she and Liara can be fried by Harbinger.

[Farangbaa]

Not much of a story (I'm at work right now) but:

 

Tianshi hit level 20 before starting a plot world. I don't think I've ever had that happen before. (I don't have the XP bonus from hitting level 60 btw, I've never hit 60, or even attempted to)

[themikefest]

Is the goal here to also keep all the male squad mates alive? If so, I think you'll need to keep Tali alive through the Beam Run so that she and Liara can be fried by Harbinger.

Yes all male squadmate that can live will live. I won't recruit Wrex.

 

I will most likely kill all females on the suicide mission and have T'soni and edi destroyed on the beam run. I'm currently undecided about Samara or having Morinth kill her and then kill Morinth on the suicide mission or in London.
