Re-read the newest Marauder Shields, went back and reviewed all of the strips with Jacob and the Crucible to refresh my memory on a plot point, and checked out the Tali Face Mod thread to see what the latest was.

For the record, "the latest" is fricking awesome! Looks as though the mod is almost ready for release; just a couple more bugs to work out! (Albeit one of those bugs is a fairly major one having to do with the mouth animations while talking.) Those of you who still play ME3 might want to check out this video of the mod in action.

Edit: to those of you who've played with mods, do you have any idea if the Tali Face Mod and MEHEM/MEEM might be compatable with one another?

Far as I am aware it shouldn't be a problem, as EC doesn't load separate meshes of squad-members just for that scene. Of course, SlipperyHammer still needs to tackle the mouth-animations, which may prove to be a problem with the 'smile' of Tali during the memorial even in the absence of any dialogue on her part.

Then again, I did this recording of the memorial with one of the earlier Ashley-bun versions once, and there was some odd behaviour there that the author of that mod couldn't quite explain at the time, so we'll see whether something of that sort would come up for Hammer's project.

That's good to know! And yes, SlipperyHammer is indeed working on the mouth animations. *With great curiosity and in an elcor voice*, what do you mean by "smile"? (I Youtubed the EC exactly once, and skipped over the irrelevant parts.) Is it a flash of her helmet light, or is it another animation?

There's an Ashley-bun mod? I wish I'd had that a year and a half ago! Just Googled it, and it looks great! Fanbase creativity is amazing! <3 D*mn shame Bioware locks down their files, the one game that could really use Skyrim's creative freedom and doesn't have it...

As Hammer mentions, the stock-model does, in fact, have an animated mouth, despite her face being not visible. The animations for whichever companion is in the 'LI/BFF'-spot is the same as EDI's, as can be observed with the other NPCs. Garrus had particular issues there in early versions of MEHEM, which was fixed later - mostly, anyway, he's always rolling his eyes left last I looked.Since there is some motion of Tali's features beneath the helmet, I imagine she, too, mimicks those animations. Whether that'll work out fine with Hammer's custom face without further ado or needs adjustment hence remains to be seen.

Today I beat Mass Effect 3 on Insanity, doing the Unwavering in the same time. It was a hell of a run, just feeling empty right now. Had EDI and James in my team and was hoping for that last talk with James, but EDI was the one hurt so got that instead.
Was the most fun run I had, and after nearly 400 hours total I might only play again for the Citadel DLC.

Installing ME2 right now and will hopefully spend as much time with that.

But right now it's just empty.

[Obadiah]

Started playing Pinnacle Station on Insanity, and ended up having to set it to Veteran to beat the Timed Trial and Hunt, and then had to set it to Casual (oh for shame!) to beat Capture Point record.

[Andrew Lucas]

I'm fighting for Omega...

[Bruce M. Shepard]

...waiting for ME3 dlc(xbl) to go on sale.

[TheRealJayDee]

Uninstalled ME2+3.

Well, I don't know the specific Paragon/Renegade scores you need, but it sounds like on your last playthrough, you were just over (or at) the needed Paragon score and this one you were just under it.  I tend to save either Jack or Miranda's loyalty mission for one of the very last as well.  I usually get my Paragon/Renegade to 97%-99% (it might have to do with me having all the DLCs for ME2) and I have always been able to keep both of them loyal since I started doing that (I had to figure it out the hard way).  However, there is a way to get back the loyalty of whoever you sided against in their confrontation.  You have to talk to them afterwards and try to convince them that you were just trying to placate who you sided with.  You still need to have your Paragon/Renegade be around 95% though I'm pretty sure it is somewhat lower than the requirement for the confrontation.

Tali/Legion doesn't require your Paragon/Renegade to be as high as in Miranda/Jack.  I have a couple playthroughs where I wasn't able to convince Jack and Miranda to stand down, but I was able to do that with Tali and Legion.

The way I do it, I save Samara's loyalty mission for one of the last, but I do it before Jack/Miranda's.  If I am able to use all the Charm/Intimidate options when I'm in her apartment, I have enough Paragon/Renegade to keep Miranda and Jack's loyalties in their confrontation.

As to your question; no.  The sequence isn't tied to anything other than Paragon/Renegade scores.  You could be romancing either one of them and still lose their loyalty in the confrontation.

Hope this helps.

Well after you helped me realize I could save the entire crew in ME2, I decided to pause my current trilogy run and go back and start with ME2 with my current canon shep (was having trouble getting into the story with this fem-shep, anyways - too close to how I played my previous sheps.  I should have just gone full renegade with her).  Picked a new class and will be going for a new LI to keep it intersting.  Time to do a speed run on ME2!

Since I last posted in this thread I have accomplished a lot with my engineer, she finished off Benezia and spared the queen, talked Saren into putting a bullet into his head, saved the council, and finished off Sovereign. Imported her into ME 2 where she successfully recruited Mordin, placed a monument and collected all of the dog tags from the crew that was KIA at the Normandy crash site, reunited with Garrus while tearing the merg gangs a new one, and was reinstated as a spectre by the council in an empty token gesture from them.

[KotorEffect3]

Liberated and saved those refrinery workers from Vido Santiago and Zaeed threw a hissy fit about Shepard saving those workers instead of killing Vido, then Shepard stuck a gun in Zaeed's face and gave him a little speech about teamwork and he agreed to Shepard's terms. Then I picked up the Hammerhead vehicle before I helped Kasumi steal the graybox from Donavon Hock.

Gained the Tali companion achievement in ME1, finally!!

[Edit] And now I have gotten the Wrex companion achievement in ME1! So now for Virmire I can finally start using the rest of my crew.

I haven't been able to touch ME3 to complete my final playthrough cause DA:O keeps dragging me back. Ah well, I guess it's for the best...

[Obadiah]

Stopped the Geth incursion and saved the council!

[KaiserShep]

That last bit of ME1 is so cheesy. I love it.

Guess I'll start a whole new trilogy run. Not sure if it'll be completionist, but I can't stay away from ME1.

Yesterday I helped Jacob deal with his Dad who is now rotting in prison, then I saved Tali from a bunch of Geth on Haestrom.

[Farangbaa]

yesterday I had to recover some probe that had been fitted with a nuke, turned out some guy named found it and used it as a trap for me.

I killed him.

Then I went to Noveria and the Citadel to buy equipment that marginally bettered my stats, cause I'm damn close to the money cap, and not yet level 50 so I can buy the Spectre X gear.

And it's kinda hard to find better gear if the only gear that would really better you are Collosus X ones and that heavy armor from the Geth Armory (AWESOME ARMOR).

I'm equipping ALL my squadmates except Kaidan and I still run into the money cap. I'm not equipping Kaidan cause I don't intend to use him anywhere. My main sqaud this time around is Ashley (had to get her companion acchievement), Liara and my femshep engineer, (first time playing femshep, made a delicious looking black woman... default femshep is ugly), and I'm going to use Wrex for his loyalty mission (then kill him on Virmire), Garrus for his loyalty mission, and Tali for those Geth missions that get you her "loyalty" mission.

My main squad is completely equipped with VII Spectre Weapons (Pistol, shotgun, assault rifle and sniper). There's waaaaaaay too much money in ME1.

[SwobyJ]

Completed Leviathan DLC. Spotted the 'IN.TRIN8' bit in Bryson's Lab. His daughter lived. Creeped out by Leviathans.

Waaaaay too much money.

Today, playing the 80s TV tropes I came up with an epilogue for my ME3 crew:

At the end of the Reaper War, the members of Commander Shepard's Special Forces Unit were thought killed by the Crucible blast. These soldiers survived, and promptly left for the outlaw space of the Terminus systems. Today they survive as soldiers of fortune.

If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire...

Today I downloaded and installed the latest versions of MEHEM and CEM, and I'm going to start an eningeer run on ME3, a class I haven't tried yet.

[NeonFlux117]

Had a nice, long, very demanding and tough talk with Object Rho.

For some reason it sounded like that other dude.....

Harbinger, I think it's name is.

Odd.

Then I shot some pijacks on Tuchanka.

[Knightly_BW]

Destoryed Collectors' base and finalized Tali romance.

Rescued Primarch from moon of Palaven and assured Garrus everything between us okay.

Invited Kaidan to my apartment for a dinner and snuggle time.

LOL... looking at it now last night all my sheps worked for romances it seems. Tali and Garrus romances are just for Citadel DLC. I love how they become a couple so normally don't romance with those two.

[LiL Reapur]

Didn't play campaign, But i did kill a Banshee in MP

[Farangbaa]

Did the "loyalty" quest for Garrus and Wrex, was disappointed I didn't hit level 50 before Virmire.

So I started the Geth Activities quest. Intended to do that after Virmire with max hacking skill, but getting level 50 before Virmire is more important (Spectre X gear)

[Manc4life7]

Killed the leader of the Blue Suns (oh, and kinda sorta blew up a refinery in the process) with Zaeed. 

Defended Tali from the ridiculous treason charge in the buggiest playthough of her loyalty mission I have ever seen; we docked with the Miagrant Fleet, talked with the head of security (I think), then stopped on our way to the hearing to talk with Auntie Raan, and things just went haywire.  Tali started screaming at Raan about her father, and when the coversation ended everyone was milling around waiting for us to go clear the Aleraie (sp?).........it basically glitched past the entire first half of the treason hearing.  Everything else went off without a hitch.

Helped Miranda hide her sister from her a-hole dad. 

Helped Kasumi secure Kajii's greybox by playing secret agent man.

Tonight is going to be a long one - I am not stopping until I get this Shep to "Priority:Mars" in ME3.  My plan is to start with taking down Project Overlord, then I am going to help Jack nuke her old stomping grounds, then it is on to get the Reaper IFF, wake up Legion, then help him re-write the heretics.  Once we do that it will be time to launch the SM with a fully loyal team and save the entire crew (had no clue you could do this during my previous runs).  Once I destroy the Collector base, I'll investigate the Reapers impending arrival, and on to ME3 we go!!!
