Mass Effect 3 - Part 1

[Tron Bonne]

I'd say after, but really, I don't think it matters that much, since the jist of it is something we've known since the ME3 trailer.

 

[Raiden]

read the part about Adepts creating psionic blades for melee combat.

that just sounds all kinds of AWESOME!!

can't wait to see pics and footage of that.

I've been playing Soldier in both ME1 & ME2, but this sounds very cool. I might consider switching Shepard to Adept in ME3.

Well I could not find the ME2 thread so I will just post in here. I finally found time to play this game now that I am out of college. Great game so far but I am slightly annoyed by the level up process. From what I understand, there are only 30 lvls to achieve. I am currently finding that with only one major mission left (reaper IFF) that I am getting very little exp from the side quests. I am almost at lvl 23. I made some slight errors with allocating the points of my squad members that can be corrected by gaining the last 8 points but that don't seem possible. I just wanted to know if anyone was able to reach level 30 on their first playthrough? Also, I imported lvl 50 character.

 

[Master Chief]

I reached lvl 30 w/ a lvl 60 import after doing everything in the game and at the time only Zaeed and the Normandy crash site were DLC. I only hit lvl 30 like right at the beginning of the suicide mission.

Most people just make it to lvl 29 lol but if you beat the game you get a 25% XP bonus for all your other playthroughs; So you'll hit the level cap in no time even if you don't import your lvl 20-something character.

I did with my level 60 import, like Master Chief above - it starts you at level 5, versus your level 50 import that gets you level 3. This was at launch, so with only launch DLC.

As MC stated also, beating the game once nets you an experience bonus for all subsequent playthroughs, new or import. At that point, you'll never not make level 30.

I reached level 30 as well.

Oh ok. Well I'm pretty close to the end, so I'll just wait.

Hmmm, I kinda just lost motivation to explore more of them game now . Now I have to decide wether I want to continure leveling up or just finish the first playthrough off and replay from the beginning.

 

[JNX]

so, if each class will get a special melee attack, I wonder how that will apply to the hybrid classes?

Do they get their own special melee attack?

Like, if we are a Vanguard, do we get to choose between the Adept's "psionic blade" ( which just sounds way too cool ) or the Soldier's Omnitool blade ( which also sounds cool )?

I hope we get to choose.......

Why would anything about levels increase or decrease motivation to explore the game?

Enjoy the immersion and explore, or don't. It has nothing to do with what level you are.

Let´s talk a bit about Kinect.
How do you think it will be used in ME3?

Something as simple as choosing the dialogue option, or something much more interesting like Kinect mapping your face and have the editor build it on Sheppard?

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ Could be both, lol.

 

[Soapy]

Maybe you could use your powers that way?

Ya know, if they could make it look good, id LOVE a feature like that. I mean the point of these games are to put you in the lead role, that would be great. I recently used that feature on the current Tiger Woods game and i was really impressed with how well it worked. So id love for them to do that.

If anything tho, i think it will be some side stuff. I dont think it will use anything within the main game. Im not expecting it to be "better with Kinect" in any way.

 

[Master Chief]

hahah your face with a different voice would be trippy though.

haha i didnt think about that.

 

[SolarTiger]

Ok Kinect for ME3 is looking awesome. Perfect way to integrate it.

edit:

looks like they're in the process of taking the trailer down, heh.

 

[PWN3R]

It's private.

 

[Master Chief]

dude be happy you missed it, it made me yearn omnitool blade + frozen dude... glorious.

 

[Erzengel]

I saw it with my eyes.

 

[PWN3R]

God damn it. The demo was pretty slick though, omni-tool is glorious. And Mordin!

 

[imaperson2]

Oh my....I saw the trailer right now, and it's still on YT. GLORIOUS.

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

For those that didn't see it and for however long it is before EA takes this down

Are they gonna release a cinematic trailer too? That's what I was hoping for.
