Got my first renegade FemShep into ME3 and just did Sur'Kesh. Wreav was pissed cause I destroyed Maelon's cure. Brought Javik and Vega. Javik to burn Wreav and Vega just for filler. Waiting to get to the point where I can invite Traynor up to the cabin so I can romance her (romanced Kaidan in ME1 and Jacob in ME2). Oh! And I found a really weird glitch when talking to Javik. I did Eden Prime and didn't finish asking Javik about the Protheans. After the game put me facing the door to Javik's room I went back to talk to him again and when I finished, I moved next to him and, surprisingly, went right through his water tank. I kept walking until I fell through the floor and ended up inbetween the outer hull and the inner hull. I walked around and found a group of spare crew members standing in the middle of space (probably the ones from the cutscene when Javik first comes onto the Normandy. I tried to walk to them, but I fell and died. I couldn't stop laughing! I was able to get into the glitch a half-dozen times. Each time brought new surprises. That is one more glitch that I really like.


When I hit Thessia I'll bring EDI with me. Max out damage on her Overload. Just to troll the hell out of Kai Leng. Maybe I'll bring Kaidan or Garrus with me and EDI when I hit Cronos Station...

So far today I completed the IFF mission. Husks are the worst, and this is always my toughest mission in ME2. Tali's drone really helped as distraction. I think think this is the first time I brought her on this mission. Zaeed's inferno grenades also came in handy, along with my max incinerate. Still, 2 deaths though. Scion/husk combo is worst in my experience.

Bring Grunt and Jack.  Unless you're on Insanity or Hardcore, Jack's shockwave will mow down hordes of husks.  Allowing you to focus on the scions.  Or you can use the M-490 Blackstorm on the scions.  The husks will be killed as soon as they are hit by the singularity it shoots.

^ It was a fresh from scratch level 1 hardcore playthrough.


Started ME1 today, and got the full crew pretty early. Combat is a nice change of pace. I have to plan better and be more careful. My only complaint is some bad save points.

I saved that colony's civilians from the Javelin missiles, at the expense of the industrial sector. Then I finished up other assignments such as the MSV Corsica (I think that's the name). Then I made Jack loyal.

In a little while, I'm going to get Mordin and Grunt Loyal before heading off to get the IFF from the Derelict Reaper. Hopefully by monday evening, I'll be starting ME3

[Savage Baird]

Started a new ME2 playthrough using Genesis (sorry, I'm lazy). Recruited everybody and now starting loyalty missions. Still trying to figure out when the best times are to play the DLCs.

Today I beat Mass Effect 3 and liked it!

Perhaps Mass Effect 4 will be better off if the haters move on. Delusional whiners don't need to be spoiling the experience for new players. ME4 deserves appreciative fans, not prejudicial haters who'll hold their grudge over ME3 over it. That grudge ultimately summing up to "I should get a completely different ending just because I chose to wear Onyx Heavy armor the whole series!".

Do Overlord before going to the Derelict Reaper(matter of fact, do all available loyalty, side, and recruitment missions before going there as well)

Do Lair of the Shadow Broker and Arrival after the Suicide Mission.

[Kataphrut94]

Powered through Tali's loyalty mission and Lair of the Shadow Broker on Insanity. Struggled to get Jack to open up and love me, while also shrugged off Mordin's advice on how to shag her without exploding.

I finished Mordin's LM and was going to have Grunt talk to Wrex before going to Aite.

Running through Mars with a FemShep and trying not to laugh every time Hale yaps. The chief reason I only have two FemSheps.  Most overrated voice actor on the planet.  Between her and Steve Blum it's a wonder there are any jobs for any of the others.

Engineers can be fun, especially facing Reapers and geth.  Nothing like having your enemy fight for you and I can leave that squeaky quarian tw@t on the ship - at least until she's forced on me.  Surprisingly, if you send her into a group of geth or Reapers and get her knocked out of the fight, you don't tend to notice her absence.  Odd but true.

BTW:  the quickest way to do the IFF mission in ME2 is to just one-shot the reactor at the end with Cain.  No husk fight, boom, straight to grabbing Legion and hightailing it.

[ShepnTali]

Well, today I'm on Feros, and was going to safely knock out colonists with the Thorian issue, but only had 2 grenades left. I had to quit and look up how to melee in ME1. I had no clue.

[KotorEffect3]

Well in the past 3 days I left Kaidan on Virmire, talked Wrex down, talked Saren into taking his own life, allowed the Council to die in order to save my reinforcements for the fight with Sovereign, romanced Ash, got killed by the Collectors, got rebuilt by Cerberus, agreed to work with Cerberus to take down the collectors, recruited Mordin, recruited Garrus, and I just let Zaeed have his revenge.

[ShepnTali]

I shot corporal Toombs. :/


Paragon isn't saving my bacon in this game.

I just beat the ME trilogy for the first time as a Vanguard (my first ever play through as Vanguard), and now I'm starting a new story in ME1 with a Spacer/Ruthless Engineer, my first time playing as an Engineer and my first time playing with a background as the Shepard who fought on Torfan, taking down Batarian slavers. I'm interested to see how the npcs and squadmates see me differently, if at all (I'm noticing some minor differences in dialogue).

I plan to wait to recruit Liara until AFTER Noveria and Feros. I hear there is an interesting dialogue easter egg if you take this route, so I am eager to see (please, no spoilers). I will romance Ashley, but leave her in ME2 for Tali (all that "alone" time in the Engine Room) . 

Also, this time around, I'm NOT going to be a freaking saint, and will let the Council burn.  I was getting tired of getting screwed out of Alliance war assets in ME3, considering they're my "home team."

Today, I head off in search for the Reaper IFF

[ShepnTali]

I dealt with a rogue VI on Earth's moon.


Ok, I officially want this kind of planet exploration back in the new Mass Effect... just more polished and less copy/paste. I'm really enjoying it.

 I am putting the finishing touches on a fan-fic piece I've been working on, expanding a bit on the epilogue.

... which technically makes it "in" the trilogy -- of my canon, anyway.

I was inspired to give Jack's character/romance arc some closure. After I'm done, I'll retire from my ME-fandom.

Finished off clearing out geth outposts where ever the rogue VI was. Sniping behind mountains in the open area is quite fun. I hope this kind of thing comes back in the next game.

Colonist/Ruthless fits better.  Shepard's family and friends are killed by Batarian slavers and s/he gets a chance to get revenge on Torfan.  Did that with my Renegade FemShep Engineer.  Fits her character well cause I had her kill Balak on X-57 and kill the Batarians that were holding Daniel hostage.

I scored 6000 in the Armax Arena!

[Steelcan]

I thought about continuing my FemShep really hard.

I used the Colonist/Sole Survivor combo for my Vanguard, so I wanted to try something new.  But, I also thought about going Colonist/Ruthless, since it would logically make most sense, but then I considered that given how Paragon Shepard goes around building alliances and using diplomacy as much as he/she uses the gun, it wouldn't fit with how I wanted to play my character.  My Mindoirean Shepard would've helped lay the smackdown on the remaining Batarian slavers as a kid fighting with Mindoir's new colonial militia, killing the pirates left on Mindoir and those who could be directly connected back to the attack. 

My colonist Shepard would choose to honor his family's deaths by not sacrificing the morals/values instilled by them, and wouldn't waste his soldiers' lives by blindly taking his rage out on other people; granted, these other people are criminals, pirates and slavers as well, but my Shepard would've realized that most of them are how they are because of their xenophobic government going rogue, being indentured servants or indebted mercenaries.  Balak basically confirms that the average Batarian has fallen on hard times since their exile (think North Koreans), and they'll do what they have to do to survive because their government provides no productive alternative (think Somali Pirates).  They are much like the Vorcha or the Krogan before the diplomatic alliance and genophage cure.

The Spacer/Ruthless combination allows my headcanon to create a Shepard who, having grown up on Alliance ships and space stations (his childhood friend being little Joker at Arcturus Station )  all his life, has had the importance of getting things done and completing missions drilled into him since he was a kid.  It would justify him getting 3/4ths of his unit killed on Torfan, because like Anderson says in one of his interviews in Citadel DLC:


Journalist: What makes a good leader then?

Anderson:  Hm… a good leader is someone who values the life of his men over
the success of the mission, but understands that sometimes, the cost of
failing a mission is higher than the cost of losing those men.

I imagine Shepard being a Team Zeta combat engineer, basically he gets to blow sh!t up and lay siege to enemy fortifications, creating ways in and out of the buildings the unit is raiding, or destroying the structures altogether.  I'm basing this entirely on one of my best friends who is a real life US Army combat engineer, and he told me that blowing things up is basically what he does 90% of the time .

Did Liara's date from Lair of the Shadow Broker. It went really well until she started asking me about my girlfriend, Jack. Jack died on the Collector Base; she was eaten by killer space locusts, it was not a gentle death.

I get that it's probably a flag oversight, but you really need to be more tactful, Dr T'Soni.

[dreamgazer]

Nothin'.

I recalled who each of my Shepards romanced for a forum reply, and that's about it. Since I recently finished a trilogy run with my renegon engineer, it'll probably be quite a while before I do anything more than gabbing about it on here.
