Mass Effect 3 - - - Part 12

[Havok83]

Can I load up my final save to get the best ending or do I have to also play the Galactic Readiness stuff as well bc I havent touched that in months and its back to 50%

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

Depends. Where's your final save? What ending are you aiming for?

Assuming your save is from before the Cerberus assault: if you're trying to get the best variation of Destroy you need your EMS at 3100, anything below that should be fine for the other endings.

 

[Roose Bolton]

The extended endings have largely fixed my grevinces, it's not a great ending, but everything leading up to them was brilliant so for that I'm not giving up on Bioware or Mass Effect.

 

[CapedCrusader14]

I went with Destroy:

Spoiler

Though I'm sad that EDI and the Geth had to go, I'm happy with my ending.

There's still a ton of problems with the ending but I can tell Bioware have tried as best as they can.

 

[DeGenerate10]

Has anyone tried shooting the Starchild this time lol

I did and I immediately dashboarded out of fear

The very last savepoint. The part right before you meet up with Anderson and have to shoot the reapers in that slowed down sequence

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

Well then you'll have the old EMS values I think (since EMS gets locked in when you attack Cerberus).

If you've got a save that is before the Cerberus assault, I suppose you could check the war asset computer to see what you had going in, though I imagine starting from your final save you won't be able to get Destroy's Best variation. As long as its over 2800 you'll have access to all the other endings.

The DLC kicks in during the beam charge, so you should be seeing new content.

 

[Reek]

Well this is awesome... Every one of my saves, other than Citadel: The Return, wont load.

So basically I have to play the whole damn game again.

 

[PWN3R]

Dude, I just wasted a few hours because I had no idea they added that bit. I wanted to select Synthesis, and see all the changes. But before I could walk forward, I really wanted one last "**** you" to Star Child... and then that happens.

HAHA

Loved my ending. They actually answer why your squadmates are on the ship. That's one part I REALLY loved about it.

And the epilogue, i loved the part where Liara (may have been different for other people) went to put the name up, but she didn't and kind of smirked.

My only real problem was that they never answered what happened to the people on the Citadel, at least they should have answered what happened to Aria and Bailey. I'm going to guess Bailey died, and I'm going to believe that Aria got the hell out of there when or shortly after the Cerberus base fell. She may have even eluded the Reapers.

Has anyone brought up the Leviathan of Dis?

Bailey and Aria? Really? I mean they were cool and all, but they are just as important as Helena Blake...or even the Rogue VI from ME1.

 

[StrainedEyes]

Watched the new endings on youtube. Meh.

It's sad that 3 feels like it was hastily made, but the Mass Effect trilogy as a whole is an amazing experience.

..No.

The ending feels hastily made. Not the game. lets not forget the amazing moments in ME3... Mordins sacrifice for instance.

 

[Soapy]

Eh...Mass Effect 3 was also easily the buggiest of all three as well. It was clearly rushed a bit.

 

[Reek]

Have to disagree. My experience in every play through has always been great. The ending seemed rushed, and sucked. but the game was

 

[Soapy]

Too bad for me I guess, because my first playthrough had tons of weird bugs thoughout the entirety of the game.

 

[CapedCrusader14]

I've had weird bugs in my playthrough as well. 3 is probably my least favourite out of the trilogy anyway.

 

[Soapy]

I'll ask again: Has anyone talked about the Leviathan of Dis?

 

[CapedCrusader14]

I saw it on the Bioware Social forums. Seems interesting.

 

[Reek]

Nope, along with a ton of other things not talked about.

 

[Speedball]

Anyone in the game?
Balak says something about it indoctrinating a system when it was reactivated and they disabled the defenses in the Batarian Hegemony systems, but I don't think it's mentioned beyond that.

 

[jacobed]

I wish 1 had the gameplay of 3.

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

Yeah I've heard about the whole Leviathan of Dis DLC possibility. What little I caught of it sounds like it could be potentially interesting and a nice excuse to visit Batarian space but I didn't read too much actually so as not to spoil too much should it actually come to pass.
