Today I have an unexpectedly free evening; therefore:

According to the wiki you need 862,100 xp to reach level 60, so you're basically just a little over halfway. 

[Daemul]

Yeah, it's impossible to reach level 60 in one full playthrough, even with the exp bonus, the highest I ever managed to reach was level 58. What you can do is to have two playthroughs, the first being MQ only and the second being a full playthrough. You'll usually be able to reach level 49 or 50 by the end of the first, then on the second you can make sure that you completely maximise the amount of exp you can get, such as killing enemies outside of the Mako, getting all the codex entries etc, and you should reach level 60 by the middle of Ilos, if not a bit earlier.

 

It won't take you long to do either, I am usually able to do the two playthroughs in 24 hours, the first being 7.5 hours long and the second 16.5 hours, but that's because I know what I'm doing at this point lol.

So VonI have to ask something I have been curious about. Is that Tali? The one in Red and White? Seems like the squad you use most is Ash and Tali (if that is her). Awesome pics again. Never realized Saren had a Geth arm (or what looks like one). 

 

Okay never mind just saw your level pic and it is. Wish there was a delete for this post.

Yeah, it's pretty much been an exclusive Tali/Ash playthrough for most story missions, mixed it up a bit on the exploration and side quests. This Shep has a sympathy for the Quarians and a big dislike of a.i. Ash is an absolute monster in ME1, and coupled with Tali's skills it's a cakewalk.

Nice. I wonder if that goes for ME3 as well.

I use Ashley all the time in ME3 after the coup. I have no problem when I have her and James together.

[Obadiah]

Went to Tali's trial for treason, and after clearing out the Geth, picked the Renegade option to get a final decision (that was amusing)

Initiated the Suicide Mission.
Got everyone out.
Killed the Collectors but saved the base, and apparently the whole damn ship thinks it was a bad call. We'll see. For now, we prepare...

[Daemul]

I've currently stalled on my canon Soldier playthrough, I was planning on getting it properly started but I don't know, the fact that it's my "canon" makes it feel so final, as if I'm done messing around and now it's time to get serious and I don't like that. I prefer leaving that kind of playthrough to just a couple of months before the new Mass Effect get's released so that I can take it all in one final time before moving on to the future. So for now, that playthrough is postponed and I've decided to go back to my Femshep, but I'm stuck on whether to go with my Engineer or Adept. I refuse to go with my Sentinel, it was so boring in ME3, I never even finished it, what a major downgrade from the beast in ME2. 

 

I might need to toss a coin since it's so hard to choose. I might just pick Engineer because it doesn't get stuck with Grenades in ME3 and it gets so much love in the DLC with exclusive stuff, oh and all those fire, electric and ice combos, whilst Adept is stuck with just bioitc ones. Hmm, I might just have made up my mind.

Right, Pause bound to F11, Freecam to F7 and Togglehud to F10.. let's get ME2 rolling..

I'll try and match your pace, but I bet you'll pull way ahead of me 

[MegaToxic]

Think once I am done with my first ME3 I might go make a maleshep on ME2 (with ME2 genesis since I don't have ME1 anymore) and Romance Tali. Haven't decided yet though. Just enjoying ME3 very much. The Multiplayer/horde is pretty fun. Does getting all that to 100% effect the story?

Tonight, just the intro to see how Amy turns out.. quite pleased with the import:

 

[cap and gown]

So much for clean and simple. Arwen Shepard rescued the Alliance spy from the Batarian prison on Aratoht only to find out the Reapers were already on the edge of the galaxy and about to hit the Bahak system's relay which they could use to invade the rest of the galaxy. And here I thought the Reapers were still way off in intergalactic space. So Shepard ended up crashing an asteroid into the relay to "slow" them down, although how slow could that be if they could travel thousands of light years in just a few years? Well, it was for the good of the galaxy, give us time to prepare and all that, but not so good for Shepard's plans to return to the Alliance. Instead of being reinstated, she ended up in a jail cell, though at least it is a very comfy jail cell. Maybe she should have just taken to piracy after all.

A busy day for Tianshi. A busy day with big impact...

 

It started off with tracking down some organization called Cerberus, in honor of Kahoku. Carzy stuff... Rachni and some sort of zombies. Then I tracked down some scientist in trouble. he was captured by an Alliance soldier named Toombs. Captured by Cerberus after being attacked by Tresher Maws, which also came from Cerberus (!). Apparantly he got out as I took the down.

 

I talked him out of shooting the scientist... he then thought I was on Akuze. I hope I'm not making a mistake here!

 

Then we went for some shopping on the Citadel and Noveria. Fun fun.

 

 

Alright, who took this one?! Bastards.

 

Then we set of for Feros to find the Salarian team. The Normandy can't get close because of the AA though, so we set out in the Mako. I take my regulat squad, Ashley and Kaidan. After litteraly shooting through hordes of Geth we reach our goal.

 

 

Hehe, very flattering.

 

The Salarian captain, Kirrahe, explains the situation. Turns out Saren's breeidng an army of Krogan, damn! And what's even worse, Wrex is acting up...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wrex had to die. And the other aliens dare say we Humans are hotheaded.

 

Kirrahe lays out the plan. It's a good plan, but I have to give up one of my squad, which I do not like. I haven't had aliens in my squad, ever. I give him Ashley, my baby will take care of herself. The team member which resembles her skill set most and is the most combat experienced is, unfortunately, the Turian Garrus. Maybe I should let go of my Turian distrust.

 

In the fights I don't really miss Ashley, Garrus is good. We pretty much roll over any resistance we meet, helping Ashley and Kirrahe out along the way. When we finally enter the base I run into strange indoctrinated Salarians. Some still sentient and able, others zombies.

 

 

We penetrate the base deeper, and that's when things really start to pick up. A krogan scientist, an Asari scientist named Rana who I leave to fend for herself and then, a beacon...

 

 

 

 

Saren's Ship... it's alive and called Sovereing!! And it wants to destroy all organic life! Wow, dayumn, And Joker warns us it is on its way. This base must go down. We fight more geth, and more Krogan, and we reach our destination. The bomb is ready to be set, but Ashley is in trouble, I have to save her. Now I need another alien on my squad. Figuring I'm now the only biotic and we miss Kaidan, and Garrus can do some tech, I take Liara. When I'm on my way, Kaidan is being attacked as well. There's no doubt in my mind though, I have to get Ashley. Kaidan will make sure the bomb goes off.

 

When I reach Ashly Saren's there. We exchange words, but he seems to be indoctrinated, and I have to fight him.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The base is destroyed, but Kaidan is dead... I don't care much about him, but I do care about Ashley, I will not let her be harmed. Also, working with Garrus and Liara in the field has opened my eyes to the skills of aliens. I feel like a fool for not making proper use of them. After careful consideration, my new squad will consist of Liara and Tali. With the double biotic splendour of me and Liara, we don't really need a soldier type besides myself. Tali is pure tech and useful against Geth, which we'll surely encounter on Feros and alongside Saren when we catch him.

For the first time, I'm trying to split the Citadel DLC up. I'm usually a weak, weak woman, and binge on it. I finished the story mission, so I'm doing a few meetups. I WILL RESIST DOING ALL OF THEM, I SWEAR.

 

Then it's off to Thessia.

Final bit for tonight:

 

[themikefest]

Elizabeth Nancy Shepard has been under house arrest for the last 6 months for klling a bunch of Batarians. She doesn' give a crap. She would blow up most of the galaxy to save humanity from the reapers.

 

James, her bodyguard, informs her that she is needed. Lisa runs into Anderson who says he wants her to find a way to stop the reapers. Yeah right. Then why have me locked up? She meets Kaidan who is waiting for orders. While talking to the Committee, the reapers attack and the committee is killed. Ah. What a shame. Anderson and Lisa head to the Normandy. She sees some kid that doesn't want help. Fine. Get lost you little rodent. They fight what looks like a fat piece of garbage with a gun on its arm. This galaxy has some strange crap. She kills the things and the Normandy shows up. Anderson stays behind. Thats fine with Lisa. She never liked the guy anyways.

 

She gets a message to head to Mars. Once there, Lisa, Kaidan and James encounter Cerberus soldiers. Time out. What the puck are they doing here? She runs into the person she never wanted to see ever again. Liara. Things just went from bad to worst. She explained about some plans that may stop the reapers. Lisa didn't payany attention to her. She fights a bunch of Cerberus punks to get to the archieves. A Cerberus woman runs away with the data. Damn. She hates running. They cjhase her down and James crashes the shuttle into the Cerberus shuttle. Turns out the person is a robot. A tin can that wants to be a woman. This day is getting weirder by the moment. The thing grabs Kaidan and smashes his head against the shuttle. Why couldn't it do that to the Asari? She shoots the piece of metal and gets onboard the Normandy.

 

At the Citadel she see's dumb, dumber, dumbest and dummy. They won't help. Of course they won't. Why did she see the council again? Back on the Normandy, the is introduced to a Samantha Traynor. The girl peaked her interest. Lisa wanted to say something bad to her, but for some reason the words didn't come out. Lisa must be going soft. Lisa decides to make the rounds on the ship.

 

She talks with Traynor who is worried about a toothbrush. You have got to be kidding me? A toothbrush? Lisa wanted to smack her upside the head. But again something held her back. Lisa decides to stay away from Traynor to figure out want is going on with herself. She heads down to the crew deck. She see's the memorial wall and with a very big evil grin, recognizes all the female names on the wall. Good times. Killing all female squadmates is so much fun. Hopefully she won't have any on the ship.

 

For Lisa that thought was short lived. She walks into a room to see a bunch of monitors and other crap. Well, well, well. The Asari decided on her own to put this mickey mouse crap in this office on Lisa's ship without asking. Apparently Lisa is now in murder mode. The Asari has to die. Lisa doesn't care how as long as she is killed. She will still deal with the reapers, but she will find a way to kill the Asari when the opportunity presents itself.

 

Lisa heads over to the medbay and chats with Dr.Chakwas who checks to make sure Lisa is ok.

 

She heads down to engineering and is surprised to see Engineer Adams. He says he's happy to be back and was sorry he didn't help when Lisa was after the collectors.

 

Lisa heads down to the cargo bay and meets her shuttle pilot, Steve Cortez. She likes him. Very knowledgeable. She walks over to talk with James who is doing pull ups. He wants to talk and fight at the same time. Whatever. Lisa puts him in his place and told him no nicknames. She doesn't go for that crap.

 

Joker takes the Normandy to Palaven's moon to resue the Turian Primarch. Turns out he was killed and the next one is a Turian named Victus. Fotrunately Garrus shows up and Lisa had Liara go back to the Normandy. Good riddance. Garrus led her to where they can find Victus. He says that he wants the Krogan's help to fight the reapers on his planet and he will send his fleets to help Earth. Fine. Lisa heads back to the Normandy which heads  to the Citadel.

 

She meets Thane in the hospital. His sickness is getting worst and he won't be able to help Lisa. That sucks. She heads down the hallway and talks with Kaidan. He's still sore and bruised. Udina offered to make him a Spectre. Kaidan will think about it.

 

Lisa heads back to the ship and later will attend a summit.

Are you a Vanguard again for ME2 Von? Looks like it. Vanguards are fun never played one until I felt like playing ME2 again which was very recent.

[cap and gown]

Well, with ME2 finished for Arwen, I slapped ME3 into the drive. But before importing Arwen I finished out a few fetch quests for Tabitha and then headed out to meet up with the Quarians. Eventually I need to finish up Tabitha's story so I can have a "cannon" Shepard for a NG+. But rather than jumping onto the Geth Dreadnaught I decided to go ahead and import Arwen. This will be my first run as an Adept in ME3, and the first time I have played the entire trilogy without changing class along the way. I haven't really been too enthused about playing an Adept in ME3, unlike in ME2 where I really like the class. But it is the only class I haven't done so I might as well give it a try. Who knows, maybe I will like it as much as the Engineer and Sentinel. I will probably focus on Throw and Warp and leave the Singularities to Liara.

 

One question though: I can't remember if singularity holds protected enemies in ME3 the way it does in ME2.

Yes, my favourite class (adept second).

Again I am pleased with how Amy has turned out in me2, you can never tell how they will look. I think I have a knack (and am improving) at making realistic looking femsheps just using the basic editor in me1 who don't turn out as weird looking freaks (well to me anyway) in the subsequent games.

You know what I do? I go to the site http://www.masseffec...torial=me2tome1

 

Create your character on me2 first. Take a note of the facial code, copy it to the site, it will generate the set of options for you to retroactively use on ME1.  And then you´re good to go, knowing exactly how he or she will look on 2.

Gonna finish sidequests and do Terra Nova tonight .
