Just kidding yo :lol:

I just thought the conversation with Eve was GREAT, her insights into krogan culture were fantastic, and a big counter-point to what we're used to in regards to krogan in general.

I wasn´t as touched by Legion´s and Mordin´s situations as much as Thane´s situation because in all honesty their conundrums had a silver lining. Thane´s didn´t.

And Thessia was dark as all hell. That being said that whole "I fucked up bad" reaction was uncalled. The dude had to use a fucking gunship to tear the whole place apart to slow you down dude/dudette. How the fuck is that such a resounding defeat?

In all honesty though, Thane DID save the salarian councilour ! His death wasn't in vain.

Thessia was just fucked up man, from the moment you get down there, you realize that shit is not going to get pretty.

Also, I believe the writers overstated it perhaps a little too much :lol:, but it sets a good tone of despair and frustration, the latter which was certainly in spades after such a downer of a mission.

The problem with Thane is that I would have gladly traded the salarian councilor for him. Even when I save the council I sometimes think "Why the fuck did I save you guys since you are bunch of beligerent, useless fucks?Oh, my female Shepards are so gonna kill you guys...".

Legion and Mordin´s sacrifice outweighted the loss. Thane´s didn´t.

And that fucking prayer bit...dammit, that shit is touching in a way that I never felt like in the series.

I wouldn't have expected less, you certainly do not dissapoint :) !

Unfortunately, I am not in denial, I expected something COMPLETELY different than what I got, and I was not dissapointed, it's a bittersweet ending, but it's a victory man.

THE CYCLE HAS ENDED.

Well, at least if you pick the right choice, that being synthesis.

Because with synthesis it´s not synthetics killing humans, but organical+mechanical dna people killing each other. Glad we took care of that. And don´t even start me on using relays to rewrite the dna of everyone in the galaxy.

Don´t really think there is a right choice. The cycle ends with all choices. I personally prefer destroy because I´m not on the bussiness of changing everyone´s dna, and never bought into the whole " We can control them!" rethoric.

As I shoot the pipes(lol at a pipe destroying the Citadel and overloading the relays), I go "TIME TO DIE YOU REAPER BASTARDS AND FUCKTARD STARCHILD!". :lol:

Two things here:

First, if you pick Destroy, then you've just committed the largest genocide in galactic history :lol:

More importantly, you only killed The Reapers, but you didn't account for the possibility that synthetics might be created again and anihilate all organic life in the galaxy, it offers no solution to the problem.

Synthetize accounts for all possibilities, organic and synthetic beings are now indistinguishable at the most essential level, at their genetic code, they are the same, they can't be differentiated, and because of that, The Reapers lose purpose, they become obsolete, hell, even they themselves are probably organic and synthetic by now !

Besides, how can you NOT allow this to happen !?

I DON'T THINK SO

I ain't ready to let this topic die yet :o !

Regardless of our differences of opinion on the ending, I still think the game was awesome, and I still think we should continue talking about it !

A question:

Do any of you (most likely just RuiBK :lol:) like the mission design ? I felt it was one of the bad parts of the game, sure the action is MUCH better, but running an' gunnin' the entire game just doesn't do it for me, I'm missing pure-dialog missions and I'm feeling it on the second playthrough.

OR it's not really a good idea to go speak to every crew-member after every mission :lol:, I'm pretty sure that's breaking the pace of my experience, then again, I don't want to miss-out on possible dialogue.

So, eliciting the help of the genocidal maniac for a tough mission...

What is this, +10 renegade points? :lol:

Honestly I stopped posting here because I don´t really want to rehash the stuff that iffs so much, when the rest of the game is so awesome. I´m trying to let go. I won´t buy anymore Bioware games, but that doesn´t mean that I can´t enjoy this. And if to forget the bits I hate, I need to stop talking about them, it´s a fair trade.

But I can help pussy paragons that are incapable of doing what is necessary :mrgreen:

One word: Citadel. The dialogue only missions are there as side missions, and there´s a shitload of them.Yeah, some are fetch quests, but there are still some that happen only within the Citadel.


And checking the crew between missions doesn´t break the the pace, it enhances the experience. Some of those conversations are filled with priceless moments.


Shit, I think that right now I´m in the right mood for some ME3 SP goodness. after I finish Halo Wars, time to unleash Talimancer Shepard...

There's plenty on the citadel, but none to the caliber of Thane's Loyalty Mission or the first segment of Noveria :o ! That shit was nothing but pure Shep Hustlin' yo :lol: !

Also, be real dog, did you checked with the crew in ME 1 and ME 2 after EVERY single mission ? In Mass Effect 1 I only did after the big missions, and in ME 2 only if I still had free dialogue with the squadmates.

I think it was my mistake, for the next playthrough, I'll only check with the squadmates after every Priority mission, It'll keep things much much more tight.

Meh, those situations fitted well at the time. But I don´t see them fitting well on ME3´s mood and purpose.

And the Omega Mercs side quest is similar to Noveria bit.

Yeah, checked everytime to see if new dialogue was unlocked. Only when the "fresh" dialogue ended did I stop going everytime, and going after missions(everything but those side missions). Although when it came to Kasumi and Zaeed, I went everytime. Kasumi has a lot of dialogue related to various events, and Zaeed and his stories had become a tradition. He´s the uncle that tells you stories about how he killed a metric fuckton of people :lol:

But on ME3, the dialogue options are much more numerous then ME1 and ME2. You never truly run of things to talk between ever mission.


Oh, and urban dictionary is filled of Tali stuff

Maybe, but the mission design is still very linear, there's less dialogue and interaction in missions, which was already noticeable in Mass Effect 2 with missions like Purgatory Prison, Korlus, Haetstrom, among others.

Exactly !

The thing about ME 3 is that there's always fresh dialogue, even after side missions, that's not necessarily a BAD thing, but it kinda makes me wonder if I miss out on that dialogue if I choose to do another mission simply because I don't want to keep going to crew deck, engineering and shuttle bay after every damn mission !

If it turns out that I don't have to, and the dialogue "saves up", then fucking amazing yo :D !

Okay man....................nerds are just...............creepy fuckers :shock:

Also, what's your favorite gun in the game ? I could finally achieve my dream of using the revenant, AND HOLY SHIT IS IT AWESOME, bit inaccurate though, but it sounds and feels like a goddamn rambo machine gun :lol: !

Even though, I still need to try out the M-99 Sabre, yes, I missed it on Horizon the first time :cry: !

Wait a fucking moment.Purgatory? You are telling me that Surkesh, for example, isn´t more rich then Purgatory in terms of interaction? As to Haestrom, isn´t the mission with Victus´s son basically Haestrom with turians and reapers? Bro, you confuse me...

And you don´t want to talk to your crew in a regular fashion?Well dear sir, then I was mistaken about you and you nothing more then a scoundrel! :mrgreen:

I think dialogue can stack up, but if you don´t hear it in certain ocasions, by the time you get to the end some stuff will be "missing".

Nerds are not creepy fuckers, creppy fuckers just happen to be nerds. Let´s not insult ourselves :lol:



Favorite gun? Don´t really know since I like a lot of them. But I can elaborate a list.

-Scorpion: fucking love it. It´s like a mini heavy weapon. With a bigger clip it´s a even bigger beast.

-Arc Pistol:it´s cool in the sense that it´s a handheld Arc Reactor, but not as awesome as the Scorpion.

-Talon: It´s a mini shotgun, perfect for when I want some close quarters action(worked really well with my Vanguard).

-Revenant:I feel like the baddest mofo in the galaxy when I use this bad boy. 100 bullet magazines and stabilizer for killing mooks with great justice :lol:

-Saber:It´s like a Mattlock on crack. With a scope it can become a sniper rifle.Shame that we only get it so late in the game, but I´ll be damned if my adept isn´t gonna rock it in his Save +.

-Phaeston:Really like this one.Good rate of fire, precise with no alot recoil, fast reload,nice looking and we get it pretty fast.

-Disciple:ideal for Vanguards. Light, nice damage and good range. A favorite.

-Graal Spike Thrower:man, dem krogan know how to do shotguns.Yeah, it has small clip, low rate of fire, but damage, mixed with visual and sound effects, damnit :lol:

-Locust and Tempest: the smgs with less recoil mixed with better damage, but it´s a case of "the best among a lackluster collection".

-Javelin: the whole geth hud is pretty badass, and I like the whole delayed shot mechanic.the fact that it can negate light cover also works in favor of it.

And this is pretty much it, regarding newer weapons(except the smgs) and by class.
