Mass Effect 3 - The Arrival Thread!

Spoiler

Also regarding the last mission. The two characters you take with you. End up pretty much dead right ? But if you have enough war assets. The ones on the Normandy & Shepard live ? Would it be more beneficial to stop Legon doing the upload & side with Tali ?

Obviously spoilers regarding the ending ahead

Spoiler

The ones that pop out of the normandy are the ones that are with you in the last mission. That is why people are annoyed because of the Magic Transportation that happens. Shepard lives, but only in the Destroy I believe, all other endings he dies. It really doesn't matter if you side with Legion or Tali. If you have enough of a positive score you could free the Geth and have Quarian's on your side. Legion always dies though I believe.

Ah okay just getting the right info for my final perfect trilogy playthrough. It does seem like Shepard needs to be the ultimate good paragon guy though for the best ending. At least with the Geth & the Quarians

[blackout]]Oh no...Legion. [/blackout]

[blackout]]Oh no...Legion. [/blackout]

Spoiler

I lost both in that one

Sacrificed himself for the better of his people.

 

[Matt]

How'd you pull that one off?

 

[Donut]

Which one is that directed towards Matt ?

 

[Matt]

You, Donut. I'm just curious how you [blackout]lost both of them and how it played out[/blackout]

Spoiler

You let Legion finish the upload. After the upload is done Tali contacts the fleet ordering them to stop firing on the Geth. That one Quarian ******* told the fleet to ignore Tali & to continue firing. The Geth fires back in self defense. The entire Quarian race is destroyed in one attack by the Geth in self defense. Legion dies uploading his programming to the rest of the Geth. Tali in shock of the entire Quarian race defeat commits suicide by falling off of the cliff. Not even paragon Shepard could save her

[blackout]Damn, that is rough. What is it with suicidal female aliens in ME3?

Did you not save the other admiral? Is his support needed to talk the fleet out of attacking? [/blackout]

Just read on IGN that there are 16 different endings.....jimminy jillickers

I'm gonna be playing this for a long while

IGN is trolling you hard

Edit: Technically I suppose there are 16 endings, but not really. I guess IGN is seeing a slight difference meaning a different ending.

LOL I got Donut's ending for that part too coz I forgot to do a mission. I didn't know wtf was happening, but while I was watching it I knew something didn't feel right. I went back to a save that was an hour behind coz it just didn't make any sense whatsoever in my playthrough.

Spoiler

Yeah, you need the admiral to support you and Tali so you can rally the fleet. You also need to see the data from the geth server to relay how the geth don't want to fight. Such a sad war because it was so easily avoidable, but at least now it's over.

It crushed me when Legion referred to himself as "I". A criminally underused character but I loved that synethic bastard.

They're factoring in the tiny variables.

i dont like that bioware got rid of heavy weapons, or am i missing something

 

[Master Chief]

They made them single use weapons that you pick up, probably because of the new cooldown bonus system they put in. I never liked carrying around a heavy weapon all the time anyway lol but I do wish there were a way to always have the geth spitfire.

 

[Reek]

i didnt really use the heavy weapons either, but i very much enjoy using the black whole gun on a group of weak enemies. that was always more fun than wasting 2 bullets in 10 diff people.

i need to play the KoA demo. i finally found ashley too...in 2 places. well, 3 really. she was in the observation room, and infront of the memorial wall on the normandy...then was at a funeral on the citadel.

i think i figured out why it did that too, my private messages. Traynor never says "commander you have new messages". so i was just messing around and clicked it, had about 50 unread messages.

Whoa..Garrus&Edi were with me at the end by the beam,There alive and on the Normandy..on some planet&in a jungle??

 

[BrollySupersj]

Started my NG+ last night, saved it during the Mars mission because I was ****ing exhausted. I am SO HAPPY that your paragon and renegade bar is transferred over. That annoyed me in ME2, always having to rebuild it.

 

[TX85]

Spoiler

I lost both in that one

Spoiler

I lost them too,I saw Legion fall as he got shut-down and I was like"c,mon buddy power up"and then she took off her helmet and I was like"oh cool her face"she turns/gets by the cliff and jumps and I was like"Shepard save her fool"But I couldn't save here even with Paggon

I was devastated and so was my Shepard,I felt bad for my guy cause he saw a lot of death and in his background I put that the daeth of crew&others has weighted on him

 

[Reek]

wait what? it has newgame+??? whats different?

 

[TX85]

What's everyone's background for your Shepard?,Mine is a Colonist/War Hero/An Infiltrator and the one that says something like"The death of crew members has put a weight on him"..That got made worse in this game for my guy

Ha, not really.

If you count different colored beams as different endings, sure. The ending of this is one of the biggest letdowns in gaming history. All of your choices are ignored. I could have done nothing and ended up with the same ending, minus a breathing Shepard. Pathetic. 99.7% of this game was genius. One of the best I've ever played. The end, though? God, that was tough. Im just imagining the end occurred with Anderson and Shepard dying while the Citadel was opening up and the Crucible worked. Makes sense there. The real ending was just pathetic.

You do get some statistical boosts, in terms of reputation and such. You also get to choose an additional power from your teammates. Outside of that, very little.

my shep is male, earthborn, soldier, im not sure what it called, but he survived Akuze

Thanks for clearing that up

I've gotta admit, I kind of miss my female Shephard from my second playthrough of ME2, which I was doing before I started playing ME3 with male Shep. He's a complete paragon, whereas she's a complete Renegade and I miss acting like a badass with her and making decisions that basically stick it to everyone I come across.
