The Official Mass Effect Thread

As in upgraded next gen versions of Mass Effect 1 -3? Wow, I'd buy those full price retail.

 

[Nathan]

If they'd do it, would it be too much to hope for them to finally fix Saren? It's just a tiny thing. But knowing that Saren wasn't supposed to look like an evil cyborg from the beginning, ruins the experience a little.

 

[Iceman]

If they're going to go to the effort then why not. Do everything as intended.

If this equalises the tech across all 3 games I wonder if my order of preference will change. Maybe ME1 will push a bit higher.

 

[Spider-Vader]

Ha, pretty sure that'll be the case given the Liara action you can have in the original trilogy.

Don't forget Tali!

I really like the sounds of that rumor about the sequel. I just hope it's far in the future & doesn't mention alot about what happened post-war. I'm still holding out that we'll get a Mass Effect 4 with Shepard's return where we'll see the aftermath of the war.

 

[Benstamania]

I would like to see Shepard and the gang return... But part of me feels convinced that it will never happen.

If they don't title the new one 4...then Mass Effect New Dawn would be a good me thinks.

 

[Nathan]

Bioware, why do you insist on pissing me off? So, I wanted to replay ME2 again, and import my ME2 character, so I can do things better this time. Well, turns out that all Paragon/Renegade points get reset if you import your character. Even though you get a Bonus when you import your ME1 character into ME2, but if you import your ME2 character, all progress gets wiped. This is ******ed. -_-

 

[Nathan]

Ha! I managed to cheat the system. I was able to mod my 360 save, and give me all the Paragon and Renegade points, I earned in my last playthrough.

Yeap, Tali was awesome as well as a romance. I think a Mass Effect 4 can happen (not now but after a new set of games are done with) but the stakes would be tiny compared to what came before. Which I'm totally cool with.

Yeah something like that.

Haha cool. Just be a bit careful as consoles aren't as open to any kind of mods as pc.

What I did is pretty safe. Followed the steps on the official Bioware Forum. I should even be able to Import the save later in Mass Effect 3. It's nothing more than changing some numbers.

If Bioware approve of it then it should be fine. I know regular gamesave modding can get your gamerscore reset (don't know if you care about that) if you're unlucky enough to get caught although not a ban.

 

[Nathan]

I don't know if it's Bioware approved. I just found a community Thread 181 pages large, and it's not locked yet. Should it eventually lead to a Ban after all, I won't really care. I haven't purchased Xbox Live in forever, and I wanted to eventually re-buy ME3 for my PS3 anyway, so I can play the MP with a friend.

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

I've read mod comments on their forums that editing your saves isn't an issue.

I'm predicting a next-gen "definitive edition" set or something like that.

This would be a really good idea. I skipped the trilogy set but punching up the graphics to be on par with the PC version + all the DLC included would equal a must buy from me.

And it really should be ALL DLC. Even the ones that you could only get during the Dr. Pepper Promo. I'm still annoyed that I can't get the Recon Hood in Mass Effect 2.

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

And it really should be ALL DLC.

They can leave Pinnacle Station out.

 

[Benstamania]

^Agreed

 

[Iceman]

What were all the DLCs? I'm sure I'm forgetting a couple. I guess Citadel is the best (just because of the way it perfectly ends the trilogy) and Lair of the Shadow Broker next. Those are 2 of the best DLCs of the generation from any game.

 

[zenith16]

The only way to resolve the Miranda and Jack argument is to have high enough paragon points. which the best way to fully ensure that is to have that is to have what you saved from the First game and port it to ME2. Same goes for renegade. (but it's the less positive resolution.) I did that and made sure as I played ME2 that it stayed high. it's the only way to have more then just two dialog 's threes and have the desired chose for chose's like that and end their feud.


As to the thing about Saren looking like a cyborg I that that was just a condition/side effect of being exposed to the beacon and how the reapers were slowly turning most race's into their desired image initially. you were just smarted then the husk's some how. if that wasn't what was originally planned that's interesting.

 

[Iceman]

I love my original completely unplanned playthrough (before replaying for achievements) where I did exactly what I wanted in every situation with no regard to whether my hero was overall good or bad. Turned out I was much more good than bad but reporters still got whacked and hostage taking intergalactic villains got killed every time.

If a character died they were meant to die in my story no matter who they were and often they died as a consequence of my own actions..which was bloody sad. If I fell out with certain characters or had failed romances that was also meant to be and the regrets from that kind of thing are part of what made the game great. No sneaking around with the game trying to make happen what I want to make happen or undo events lol.

 

[SolarTiger]

I only played the Shadow Broker, geth AI and arrival DLC. Never played one piece of DLC from the third game. Guess I missed out, heard the citadel DLC was really fun.

I did do a neutral play through so it's doable but as one of my friends that worked at Eb/ ame stop once said it's was hard for him to that what with a a game like infamous and most people would have that problem with this as well. and as I said if you don't have that you a certain amount of points it's hard to have that argument resolved or it'll end up like what would happen with our second asiri crew member and her psycho daughter where ether one if they they got into a fight will win and if the daughter won and your the type that didn't like that result cause you chose to be neutral you be doing alot of do overs of that same mission. I'm just saying it's hard for some people to stay in just one path. if they chose to do some thin different .

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

If I had stuck with my original playthrough both Wrex and Mordin would be dead...

Unacceptable!

Leviathan was pretty fun as well, but Citadel is really good.

Anyone who loves Mass Effect MUST play Citadel. I mean MUST. As in MUST.

 

[Nathan]

Agreed. Citadel is one piece of DLC that you just can't miss out on.

Didn't have the discs anymore. I'll probably just watch a Lets Play of it eventually.

 

[Iceman]

Yeah, better than nothing. And if you do that make sure you watch the alternative scenarios. Nothing replaces playing it but at least you should get a feel for it.
