Mass Effect 3 - The Arrival Thread!

[blackout]I guess Bioware is Pro Ashley / first love interest[/blackout]

Donut! Use tags, man! Even when you're implying spoilers (like the above), you are still spoiling some things for others!

 

[Nightwing 52]

Gonna try and get it this weekend.

 

[Benstamania]

He did. Due to events in the books.

Just because it's explained in narrative apparently does not mean it's not BioWare lying about our choices and consequences and they're forcing their preferred design on us, though.

BioWare = unshackled overlord, and now we have to spend all day calculating pi, you know.

Damnit.. I'm terrible at Math.

I still have yet to see or even hear mention of Tali. Can someone tell me when you get her? I just did the Krogan Genophage mission on Sur'Kesh (Calm down, it was in the demo, I'm not ruining anything), and I'm wondering how long after that I get Tali and [BLACKOUT]Ashley back on the Normandy, seriously, I want to use her for missions[/BLACKOUT]?

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Yea iv yet to run in to her either. Im just gonna keep playing and hope i bump in to her sooner rather than later.

 

[BrollySupersj]

NO.

U GET GAME NOW.

 

[Spider-Vader]

Gonna try and get it this weekend.

I know that feel bro.

Also, I think it's sorta bs that Tali's not already on the Normandy. Especially for me since I romanced her & (sadly) got her exiled from the fleet.

Are there fish in this game or does that tank of mine have to stay empty?

 

[Donut]

It is amusing that

Spoiler

Dr. Chakwas was ready & willing to go back on the Normandy. But Miranda & Thane says no to the offer

 

[Benstamania]

Thanks got that whole dying thing going on.

Oh there's fish. You can even buy an automatic feeder!

There should be a Hanar squadmate, and he should live in your tank. I'm just throwing that out there...

I'd rather have an Elcor member. That would be something to see!

 

[Reek]

[Upset Spideyfan]

Just finished Rannoch.

Spoiler

Legion!

 

[Matt]

Minor nitpick:

I am very sick of being scanned every effin time I enter or exit the war room.

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

I suspect its a loading screen.

 

[TX85]

I suspect its a loading screen.

Could be,Sometimes when you pass after being scanned it'll say"loading"and also automatic save!!

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

I know that feel bro.

The Tali stuff is fantastic, don't worry.

I gotta admit, I am fairly disappointed by the final squad list. I feel like Vega is such a waste of space. Only 7 squadmates, okay, fine...but Vega? I'd much rather have a Krogan or a Salarian. Part of me was hoping for a Batarian squadmate. Vega is just so....uninspired. Hell, when push comes to shove, I'd rather have Jacob than Vega.

I feel like the Mass Effect 2 cast really got shafted. I know that Bioware had the challenge of some players not having them alive, but so be it. That's the beauty of what they put together. They should've let players live or die by the choices they make. Add Grunt or Thane to the squad, if I kill them....fine, one less squad member, my loss. As for some other choices (minor spoilers]

[blackout] Anderson's the Earth councilor? Then so be it, the councilor is stuck on Earth greatly limiting the help he can provide and thus my readiness rating. Just replacing him off screen with Udina and overruling me is cheap. I rejected my Spectre badge in ME2, don't just give it back to me! Make me wait til I get Ash to have access to the Spectre requisitions and what not.[/blackout]

I'm still early in the game, but I feel like Bioware really got cold feet with the branching stories. They were so worried about locking players out from certain things that they just said **** it, we'll work around all of the big decisions. Major bummer.

 

[BrollySupersj]

Well, just got home now, with my Collector's Edition in hand. First I'm gonna watch some TNG with the old man, then I'm off to stop the Reapers.

I totally agree with you on the Mass Effect 2 squaddies and making all the choices meaningless. I'm just going to focus on the squadmates though.

It's totally absurd to me that Bioware spent the entire second game in their trilogy making you build up this badass team, letting you get to know them at a personal level with their amazing loyalty missions, making you love these great characters, and then they barely put them in the third game. The mind boggles...
