Tali's loyalty is done, write-up to follow maybe on Saturday.

[niniendowarrior]

Frank lands in Sanctuary to find Kai Bling and the Illusive Brat.

Spoiler

Shepard uncovers the dark secrets of Sanctuary with refugees being turned into husks...

... and its mad scientist at the heart of it all.

Unfortunately for Henry, Shepard spoiled his little party. Kai Leng was gone and that left Miranda's wacko dad at a dead end. Frank managed to get Henry to free Oriana...

... and Miranda gave Henry a free plane ride to hell.

 

"It's ME Genesis 2's fault, Miranda.  BioWare and Straight Right really just wanted to kill you off."

EDI tries to get philosophical with Shepard but he reminds her that AI/robots are non-living things.

Frank gets Javik to move on and let go of the Echo Shard.  Better have him focused in the mission than be haunted by "In my cycle" ghosts.

 

With Hackett, Shepard hatches the final assault on Cerberus.  It's now or never!

 

Next: Cronos Station

Retrospective #44 Boss Fight.

 

I had some disagreements with this one, but it is still great, as usual.

 

 

 

Terminator has come to terms with Kasumi's sexiness and the fact she'll never get over Keiji.

He will approach new females in his pursuit of breeding requests.

 

I don't know. How many situps could Keiji do?

No more than Vega could do pull ups.

Last night, Emma did this:

• I'm not sure how I feel about this mission. The set up initially seems ok and the combat itself is satisfying enough, but there are just several things that don't sit right with me:
• The reasons for Tali's 'trial' - this is dressed up as an argument between the Admirals about the course to take, but this is never really explored at all. It also makes no sense to involve Tali in this - the fact that she sent Geth parts back should be easily provable or not, and regardless should not have any influence or be related to the wider issues. I can understand why this is done - to show us the workings of Quarian politics - but it feels out of place
• The silver-tongue of Shep - this really annoyed me in this instance. If you listen to what She says in Tali's defence it makes no sense whatsoever and doesn't even mention anything Tali has done in relation to the trial or events on the Alarei. Any normal intelligent person would just say 'so?' and demand an explanation
• Shala-Raan basically using Tali as a pawn in her own power struggle - i.e. not telling her about her dead dad so her reaction plays better - is pretty heartless.
• It's really strange that this conclave is basically a military Junta. Doesn't seem to be any democratic process from the sociable Quarians. It's nice that it is a different way of doings things, and maybe a necessity, but it would also be good if this was explored more. But then so would a lot of Mass Effect, shame that's all junked now
• Fighting the Geth makes a nice change. Also amusing that not playing it for a while meant I died quite a bit (and also running out of cover to take cool action shots doesn't help)
• I really like the video logs you can play as you explore telling the tale (a similar device used in Jack's loyalty)
• So Tali's Dad did all of this to get Tali a home on Rannoch? Really?? Oh come on! That stretches credibility a bit for me. Yes he was looking for a way to give Quarians an edge over the Geth but ultimately that's what is boils down to. How about just buying her a new suit eh boyo? Might not be dead then!
• Xen is ace. Needed much, much more of her
• I am not sure how the Geth work here - unless they have downloaded themselves into some hardware somewhere on the ship, surely as you kill them they should get less effective as their processing power drops? Also, why do the Geth start attacking them anyway? Surely the processing power required to go sentient and realise their goals would not be present in such small numbers? Surely they should remain as the original Geth would be (i.e. servant robots)?
• And of course I hugged her. Even on mainly renegade runs I do it (Renegade is not supposed to be unfeeling monsters. Well not in my book anyway)

Think that's all the loyalties done now, so on to the Reaper IFF. Finally - good job it's just sitting around waiting...

Terminator Shepard had his first encounter with an Asari Justicar today. She was beautiful and mysterious. Her every move seemed methodical and calm yet, uniquely dangerous.

She spoke to his soul.

He hacked some terminals for Liara. Hoping to soothe his guilty conscience.

After a brief conversation aboard the ship The Commander asked Samara to accompany him on his mission to find Thane Krios. He wished to see how she handled herself under fire. With Mirandas help they fought their way in to Dantius towers.

Termy isn't sure how this will end, the halls are filled with dead civilians and light mechs, dead mercs and live ones. This place is a hot zone.

But even now.....

He cant quite take his eyes off Samara.

Finally got all my video editing done this week, so I finally got back to playing again. Felt great right up until I started dying a lot.

 

Jane Shepard (Adept) was ready for the Lair of the Shadow Broker. Or so I thought. I was running along pretty well until I got careless and stupid and died in a really bad spot. Then I started dying a few more times a lot sooner because I was playing too casually for Insanity. Dumb me.

 

And then I got to the Hotel Azure parking lot. And I started dying a whole lot more. Most of the time because I was being way too casual and standing up in the open where everyone could shoot me (and they did). A few times I died because yes I was standing out like an idiot but Garrus why oh why didn't you cast Overload like I commanded you ******? And a few times the trucks stopped coming in when they were supposed to and the missile launcher was unable to hit anyone that I had flung way off the map.

 

And then I got to the Vasir fight. I think I died once or twice; I know I died once inexplicably somehow and I still don't know how. I had put Vasir in stasis, she fell over when it wore off, and then I died as she stood up somehow. Really weird. And once or twice Vasir never came back down to fight me because I had flung some Salarian way too far off the map. And another time I flung Vasir way too far off the map so the ending cutscene never happened.

 

I saw someone glitch it a lot with a Sentinel using Cryo Blast and Throw. I should have clued in that it could also happen with Pull and Throw. I should finish Lair of the Shadow Broker later tonight.

I went to the Cronos Station yesterday with James. How come I didn't take James there before?
Today, I went to London. The game is really so much easier with an Infiltrator but I also had my first sync kill from a brute for the first time in more than 20 walkthroughs of ME3 I had never been sync killed by a brute before
I also heard new dialogue from the Starchild and the Illusive Man by choosing all renegade options.
Next run; either an Engineer or a Soldier....

[introverted_assassin]

You guys talked about the Engineering class in here a lot lately...enter Sparks Shepard. Gave her Earthborn, War Hero...just because. Haven't head canon-ed anything yet...this is a blind playthrough honestly just to see if I like this class.

*Edit*
Sparks. what a nerd. https://www.dropbox....0422-1.jpg?dl=0

fought Cerberus on Mars

[RedCaesar97]

Finished Lair of the Shadow Broker last night with Jane Shepard (Adept). Died once on the ship exterior, had Garrus glitch out twice by getting stuck on the environment (boo!).

 

Died once inside the ship because of a badly-time stagger. Died a few times on the Shadow Broker fight because the Adept does not have any real good tools for close-quarters combat.

 

Reloaded a bunch of times before I managed to get my first weapon damage upgrade from the intel terminal. I'll get the other three later today.

Finally decided - I'm importing my Engineer Sallie into ME2 (I blame previous Engineer talk for that). I don't have any current screenies of her, but that's the one I kept from my previous pt:

Spoiler

 

In a meantime I'm checking my ME3 screenies from my canon and I'm damn confused. Don't Sentinels start with Assault Rifle + Heavy Pistol? And don't they use Omni-blade in place of biotic punch? I'm sure that's how it was during my previous Sentinel pt... Yet this time I started with Shotgun + Heavy Pistol and during sushi bar cutscene Rona used biotic punch (she used Omni-blade in every other melee fight alrigh)...

 

Huh, way to confuse the heck out of me.

I always liked Engineer. It's my second favourite class after the Infiltrator.
All classes are fun to play for me; but these too are the main ones.

In ME3, Sentinels do start on Mars with shotguns and pistols (Katana and Predator). Sentinel is supposed to have a dual Omni Blade slash as a heavy melee attack.

 

As for the sushi bar, I am assuming you are talking about the cutscene where Shepard pulls the guy over the table and kills him? I think all classes with (non-bonus) biotic powers -- Adept, Vanguard, Sentinel -- may use biotic punch in the cutscene. I think that may also apply to the renegade interrupt at the beginning of the clone fight on the Normandy.

 

But i am not 100% sure. I have hardly played the Sentinel in the ME3 campaign. I will have to go on Youtube and see.

 

EDIT: I just checked two videos on YouTube. Sentinel Shepard appears to use biotics during the Sushi Bar cutscene, and uses an Omni Blade during the renegade interrupt before the clone fight.

For those of you that like to laugh at other people's misfortune -- or at least, like to see other people fail at video games -- here is compilation video of all the times I had to reload my game when playing the Lair of the Shadow Broker DLC as Jane Shepard (Adept):

 

Spoiler

 

 

These kinds of videos are time-consuming to put together, but I think they are important for the following reasons:

• I do not want people to think I am a better player than I really am. Video editing can hide a lot of mistakes. I get to highlight those mistakes in these compilation videos.
• It can be cathartic for other people to see that they are not the only ones to suck at video games sometimes. (Or in my case, all the time.)

I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks for answer

 

Why was I convinced I started with Assault Rifle previously? Who knows. As for melee - I got Omni blade in every other place, just this once got biotic punch, which - as you can imagine - confused me. *checks her backup disk* Seems like I have some of my old Sentinel saves, I think I'll check those...

I did laugh. I'M SO SORRY! What difficulty are you playing on?

[Rascoth]

Spoiler

This video speaks to me on a spiritual level.

 

I did laugh. I'M SO SORRY! What difficulty are you playing on?

I'll allow myself to answer this - Insanity. 

[Monica21]

I'll allow myself to answer this - Insanity.

Aside from wanting the achievement for it, playing on Insanity just seems like self-imposed torture.

I find Insanity difficulty in ME2 a lot of fun.

 So I'm a masochist. I always play on Insanity in all ME games and the hardest difficulty in most of the games
 

I find Insanity difficulty in ME2 a lot of fun.

Me too. Insanity is the most fun. I don't enjoy the other difficulties as much.

[Monica21]

Do I really need to add "in my opinion" at this point? Reloading a save is annoying and tedious. In my opinion, of course. I know there are others who enjoy that level of difficulty. Enjoy your evenings and/or mornings.
