Hi guys,

I just started my second real playthrough of ME3 (I pretty much just played multiplayer after my first playthrough when the game launched). I'm wondering what you guys think are important characters for specific missions. For example, I know Javik is a must for Thessia (I didn't take him the first time, but I can see where he would be fun to have). And thinking back to ME2, I would have called Legion a must for Tali's loyalty mission.

Are there any other hidden character-specific moments I should be sure to make happen? FWIW, I have From Ashes and Leviathan, but I do not have Citadel or Omega. I'm considering buying them before this playthrough is done.

Did you romance Ash in ME1, keep her alive, and then romance Tali in ME2? If so, then dreadnaught mission is a Tali/Ash must, as long as you don't lock in with either first. Zing!

As you mentioned, Javik on Thessia for sure. As for the rest.. romanced Garrus for all of them. At least that's how I roll for my favorite PTs .

[cap and gown]

If you have already brought Javik to Thessia once and can remember the convo, then you might wish to consider someone else. Liara's dialogue stays the same, but the other characters have different ways of pointing out that the Asari gods look like Protheans. I've done it with Ash, Kaiden and EDI.

Take the VS on teh Tuchanka bomb mission and you'll get them reminiscing about Virmire. And if Ash is the VS and you wait until after Tali is recruited to do it, you'll get the only interaction Ash has with the rest of the crew on the Normandy (She talks to Tali over the intrcomm)

Take James on the mission to rescue Admiral Koris and ahve him work on the jamming tower.

Garrus and Liara on Sur'Kesh has lots of banter

Kaidan at the Ardat-Yakshi monastary has an amusing comment about the use of biotics to float

edit:  Also, Tali on the rachni mission has an extremely humerous reaction

Take your LI to the Cerberus Base.

Javik for Thessia, Vega for this:  


If Tali Li pick Javik for dreadnought, if not pick Garrus.
Javik/Garrus or Garrus/Liara for Tuchanka.

I would say that Javik isn't really necessary for Thessia unless you want it to be more painful than it already is.

[trenq]

Painful yes, but he adds interesting stuff about the asari, and the extra scene with Kurin.

Well, here are some of mine. Many are based more on how I imagine the differing expertises or the "politics" might play out even if it ends up not making any difference when you get there.

1) Feros: At least one human crew member. The colonists may be a little jumpy about non-humans at the moment.

2) Mordin's recruitment: Humans only, to avoid exposing non-humans to the plague.

3) Jack's recruitment: Jacob and Kasumi, because they're less likely to be on some sort of Blue Suns Most Wanted list than Garrus or Mordin. Miranda says she's been to Omega before, so she might have a past with them as well.

4) Horizon: Mordin, in case his countermeasure needs any on-the-fly adjusting and to give him a first-hand look at the Collectors. I also usually take Garrus to get his reaction to the VS.

5) Jacob's LM: Mordin again, because the survivors may need medical attention.

6) Mordin's LM: I actually took Grunt on my first playthrough until I heard other krogan sneering about the "tank-bred," and since then I've made a point *not* to take him. I like to think of Shepard as savvy enough to read up on krogan culture before going there and thus having some idea of the stigma attached to clanless krogan.

7) Jack's LM: *NOT* Miranda. That mission is not the time or place for debates about Cerberus.

8) Derelict Reaper: Any of the "calmer" and most trusted squadmates. My rationalization for not grabbing the IFF right away and finishing the LMs first is that Shepard wants the crew 100% indoctrination-proof before going anywhere near it, and that goes double for the ones actually boarding it.

9) Downed Turians on Tuchanka: Garrus for his presumed knowledge of how turian squads operate. I think he does have some unique dialogue about this.

10) Cerberus Coup: Garrus again, because his C-Sec experience will be valuable for dealing with a chaotic situation on the Citadel. And he does have at least one line where he calls out to a couple of ex-colleagues to see if they're somewhere nearby.

11) Geth Dreadnought: EDI, because she probably has the best insight into Geth and Reaper processes and intelligence, and I like her reaction to Legion. (Though Garrus has a funny line about how Tali's drone couldn't fight a Reaper and would just hover around "making that...noise." Tali responds, "Good to see you again too, Garrus.")

I originally took Liara and Kaiden to Thessia, so this will be my first time with Javik

This play through has Liara as LI from ME1 with no love interest from ME2. I can't remember if I took my LI to the Cerberus base the first time, but I'll definitely do it this time

Well, I can't. My LI is Miranda. Probably the perfect LI to have on Cronos Station.

It's not painful at all. Javik only speaks the truth. I agree 1000% with what he says. It's Liara's fault if she wants to be so stalwart and ignorant. 

As for Thessia, I feel no sympathy for the planet or the Asari themselves. I'd have loved to have a line to either Liara or the Councilor where Shepard goes "The cruel and unfortunate truth is that while the Reapers focus on Thessia, we can regroup and prepare more as best as we can."

My Shepard still snaps and gets angry, but that's more because the pressure on him finally comes to a head, not out of any kind of sadness or remorse to Thessia's fate.

And I'm glad that you don't.

[Iakus]

the only problem with taking Javik to Thessia is his presence kinda trivializes Shep having the Cipher. As Javik rightly mentions the beacon could just as easily be responding to him as to Shepard.

What do you mean I don't? We're totally leaving Thessia to burn while we build the Crucible. That's gonna take a while.

I think it's responding to both of them. Shepard can definitely feel some kind of reaction that is going on, and Javik is aware of it also.

Firstly, what I meant is that I was glad you didn't have the dialogue option. Second, Thessia's not all that badly off compared to Earth anyway; you see asari fighting in the same, intactish, city in a cutscene at the end.

Liara has a couple romance specific lines of dialogue on the last Leviathan mission as well.

I took Kaidan to the monastery, but didn't get the biotic floating line. When does it happen?

At the wrecked elevator, I think.

Actually, I think Shepard has to be a biotic as well.

Why, because you don't like that other people feel differently about the Asari than you? I'd love to let the Asari know that karma is a ****. They fully deserve what they got. 

Oh well, at least Shepard can be smug to the Asari strategist who fails to Traynor in Citadel. That's satisfying enough.

And yes, Thessia is clearly told to be in a very dire situation as Earth. Also, you see humans fighting in a relatively intact London at the end of the game as well. Most of the buildings are intact. So this
