Mass Effect 3 - The Arrival Thread!

[Solidus]

Question that may have already been asked, but I had the same problem as many where my imported character from the other game, his appearance was a little messed up, mainly just the hair and its color. Is there anyway to alter it again in game?

 

[spiderbob]

Others have had that problem as well, from what I hear. I thought he day of release patch was supposed to fix that, but I may have been wrong.

I'm confused about my Shepard's fate too!..

Spoiler

I was very bloodied/weak&barely able to walk,I shot at that thing that showed Anderson doing it in a flashback,Earth got annihilated,Reapers/Mass Relays&Ships got destroyed..But I did not see IF the Citadel did too

I did not see Shepard after I took the shot,After Normandy crashed in that planet a door opened&showing someones arm..Who's was it?

So after all that..Is my Shepard dead?

 

[DeGenerate10]

That's my only major problem with this game's design; mashing the journal and codex together was a stupid decision. I wouldn't mind it but you can't even expand each quest to get more info. I missed out entirely on Kasumi's quest coz I didn't know what the hell I was supposed to do. I've adjusted to it but damn, that was a hell of a learning curve.

That royally pissed me off that I couldn't figure out where to go for Kasumi's quest.

 

[Reek]

yea the journal is really crappy.. ME2's was great for me. it showed main missions and assignments, and even had a description and gave u an idea of what to do. some of my missions i havent completed dont say a damn thing on what to do. half of them im just like wtf is that?

 

[Reek]

and i just realized Master Chief pretty much said exactly the same thing

Spoiler

If you don't get the cutscene of your Shepard lying in rubble and his/her chest suddenly taking an intake of air, then your Shepard is indeed dead. I believe you have to have an effective military strength of over 4000 for your Shepard to survive.

Am I going to regret

Spoiler

Letting Legion upload that code ? Tali committed suicide it seems

 

[Master Chief]

lol I think it's a universal feeling for anyone who knows how the journal used to be.

Either way I've adjusted. I don't even bother with the journal anymore. Now I do a sweep of every place on the Citadel to pick up quests and talk to people. I leave in the Normandy, scan every cluster to 100%, do a couple ground missions, go back to the Citadel. Then I scan every floor on the map checking for people I can talk to and cash in on what I found.

Works like a charm.

Just finished Tuchanka... and... crying like a baby.

Every time I go to the Citadel there is a C-Sec Turian talking to a blonde human teenager about her missing family. He asks how they are, reassures here (although in their most recent conversation he told her that they would just be happy that she's safe). It's the little touches like this that makes the game.

 

[Donut]

One hell of a game so far. Endings aside from what I know

 

[Speedball]

I love the new design of the Citadel. The way people move and interact with one another makes it feel much more organic.

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

Just finished the game again, I've made my peace with the ending.

Spoiler

If they had just showed the crew was okay on Earth I would be much more at ease.

They're in the Amazon. I'm telling ya. It's why Joker looks so content. Because he has the amazon's appearance memorized and is all "Oh yeah. We're on earth."

Very minor spoilers:

I talked to Garrus on the Citadel, he took me in a car, up on top of a Citadel bridge where he wasn't allowed to go as a C-Sec officer but always wanted to see the view off of....Shepard and Garrus discuss how lucky they are to be friends and then Garrus challenges Shepard to a shooting contest to finally settle who the best marksman is. I let him win, his bragging is really funny.

I'm glad Garrus and Shepard have so much banter in this game. In ME2, he only has like, 3 convos with Shepard (if not romanced)...his initial conversation, his loyalty conversation and his post-loyalty mission conversation. I'm really happy that they stepped it up this time.

 

[Speedball]

I don't even want to get to the end yet. I'm having too much fun to get to the end.

Ah I see & is there uh any way I can keep Legion & Tali & still let both races have a happy ending ? Or if my next play through I side with Tali both Geth & them can go on happy ? Or is it really one choice only ? Legion or Tali ?
