For one last hurrah, I'm thinking of playing the trilogy in one day then post on the thread before it closes
If I can finish my Nicole Shepard trilogy playthrough in time, I might try this as well.

Nicole Shepard entered the final act in the trilogy to stop the Reapers before BSN shuts down from destroying all organics in the galaxy.
She escaped the Reaper invasion on Vancouver, then flew to Mars.
On Mars she met Liara, recovered plans for a Prothean anti-Reaper device, and shut down a rampaging Cerberus mech.
On the Citadel, she talked to Bailey, talked to the Citadel Council, talked to James and a couple of reporters, and invited Dr. Chakwas back to the Normandy. She ignored Ashley since she was not awake after surgery.
On the Normandy, she had a bad dream, briefly chatted with Liara and Samantha Traynor, and talked with Admiral Hackett. Then she checked her messages at her private terminal.

And now for the whole reason I started Nicole Shepard in the first place: to play as an honorary Female Quarian Engineer: Sentry Turret, Cryo Blast, and Incinerate, with some AP Ammo on the side. I still have a few missions to go before I can pick up the Claymore.
I am thinking I may need to jump on multiplayer for a few rounds at some point to get the feel of it again before I switch back to Nicole.

I will probably do that this weekend.
Hey, been some time!
We got some things done lately, have two new team members... Grunt, a tank-bred krogan, and Jack, a... well, "lovely" biotic powerhouse. Actually, both scared me a bit at first, but it's all good now.
Jack hates Cerberus, and I can't say I blame her, but it might take some more talks with her to see that I'm with her, that she can trust me.
Garrus and I also helped Zaeed with the mission he had taken on before the Illusive Man hired him to join us. Zorya was a pretty planet, and some of these cute monkeys were there. I remember the one that had this data module years back... in another life.
Anyway, Zaeed was after a guy named Vido. He even set a refinery on fire to stop this man. He did not even think about the poor workers in there!! Zaeed was p*ssed off when I said we cannot leave them to die. But wasn't that the right thing to do? He was so driven by revenge, I asked myself if it would be wise to keep him with us. In the end though, he saw reason and I think he knows now we work in a team, where we have to depend on one another.
Garrus, Kasumi and I also checked out some wrecked merchant freighter carrying a lot of mechs (we had to fight them!), which led us to an abandoned space station. The cause for the freighter to crash was apparently a VI virus in a mech facility... <- need to check further when we have time
We also looked for a missing Cerberus operative, but he was dead already. Found some data though that I sent to the Alliance.
Now we're on the way to Horizon... the Illusive Man said the colony went dark. And Ashley is supposed to be there. We didn't leave on the best terms after the fiasco with Wrex, but I seriously hope she's okay.
Mordin got the countermeasure for the Seeker Swarms ready. I'm kinda nervous. Well. See you next time.
Pics:
I punched Zaeed
That was super out of character, but I didn't remember that the Paragon interrupt did that
I just pretend it didn't happen ![]()
Also, I suck playing the Infiltrator. Every mission I played yesterday... one death in each except Zaeed's LM. Horizon is up next and I bet this will not end well ![]()
Spoiler
That is a great screen grab. Jedore is just a little unhinged.
Nicole Shepard:
1. Talked to people on the Normandy.
2. Scanned the galaxy for stuff
3. Went to Manae to get the Turian Primarch. Found out the Primarch was dead. Rescued the new Primarch.
4. Talked to people on the Normandy.
5. Went to the Citadel. Met with Dr. Bryson, watched him get shot. Discovered the location of Dr. Garneau. Talked to some people, eavesdropped on some other people, solved a few problems.
6. Met with Aria at Dock 42.
7. More scanning, returned some items to people on the Citadel.
Red, you do those two DLC's that early into the game?Any particular reasons? for items ?lore ?
I usually do them after the "coup" and before meeting the Quarians.
We just came back from Horizon. I still can't believe what happened there. These... Collectors abducted the colonists in their weird, coffin-like pods. I even saw some of them carry away people. We have to stop this. We have to...
I also met Ashley again, but our relationship didn't exactly improve. She accused me of being a traitor, of turning my back to the Alliance because I work with Cerberus. I tried to explain that I do NOT work for them. I only cooperate because the Alliance is doing nothing in terms of the abducted colonies, and the Illusive Man, no matter what douche he is (and he's a big one!! He was the one who send out word that I was working for Cerberus!!!), gives me the resources to do this. He's the only one who takes the Reaper threat serious. But why am I telling you this? Ashley is the one who should've believed it. I thought she knew me. We once got along really well, but I guess... that bridge is now burned for good. It kinda sucks.
I also talked to Jacob and Miranda, they both would like to do something for themselves before we go through the Omega 4 relay, get some closure. I'm happy to do it, I hadn't really thought about it, but yeah... it might be a last chance to do something like that.
Alright, I have to go, read my emails and make some plans on where we head next, the Illusive Man also said he had forwarded a couple new dossiers, so I'll see what we can do.
Screenies:
Death count: 2
I will now try to do a couple of loyalty missions, so I might already do Jacob's and Miri's and maybe some smaller side missions, as I want to get to the Collector Ship as soon as possible
I'm gonna pick up Shotgun training ![]()

I usually do them after the "coup" and before meeting the Quarians.
I speak with Dr. Bryson and Aria as soon as possible, although I typically wait until later in the game before playing all the missions.
I usually play Omega DLC right after the Tuchanka arc (cure/sabotage the genophage), and then I typically play all the Leviathan DLC missions after the Geth-Quarian arc. I usually wait to play them so I have Tali and the Virmire survivor recruited, if they are alive.
I just like unlocking them as early as possible in the game since I am already spending about an hour talking to everyone on the Normandy and the Citadel, and scanning the galaxy for credits and war assets.
Nicole Shepard:
1. Met with Aralakh Company, picked up High Lord Claymore, stomped out a Rachni nest and killed a fake Rachni Queen. Urdnott Dagg died. Talked with people on the Normandy.
2. Went to Benning, some extracted civilians.\
3. Went to Tuchanka, took over control over a giant gun from Cerberus.
4. Delivered packages to people on the Citadel.
