Encountered my first SP glitch today, when trying to continue on with the quest to incriminate the Hanar diplomat, I activated the access from the Spectre office as I was told, but after searching all over the place I couldn't find any of the terminals. Turns out, it's a common bug, where terminals won't activate after doing that. There's been no other solution other than to reload a previous save (which I don't have) and no update for it either, so I have a broken quest in my journal. Great.

There looks to have been a scene cut with Ashley as well. Wonder why though, as it seems pretty insightful:

I finished mass effect 3 today and i'm going to replay it again, but this time i'm going to romance ashley hehe. I accidently locked in with liara on my first playthrough. What I don't like about ME3 is that the default settings sorta suck..like everyone is dead or not there (jack, thane) didnt have my old games to import ):

liara's love scene was kinda funny for me, seeing those blue auras...

27 Hours needed to save the galaxy! (w'll in ME 1 at least

)

Side missions got a little tedious and 'samo samo' in the end (building layout etc.), I seem to have done more then 80% of the content even before I started the two final mainline missions!

Yeah, if there was something I didn't like about ME1 it would be the layout of areas in fights. Basically straight paths made of lego bricks.

It only had minor improvements in ME2, while ME3 had much better improvements.

I go away from Mass Effect for 2 weeks any my Galactic Readiness rating drops from 100% to 62%. Fuck that.

lucky for you galactic readyness doesn't even really seem to do all that much

someone tried playing it at below the minimum and everything happened as usual

Well I'm not sure how far I am in the game *SPOILER* I just went through the Cerberus attack on the Citadel, which I don't think is that far, but the bar at the bottom is all the way maxed out. Everyone's like 'We gotta prepare for the Reapers!!' and I'm like, 'But I am ready!'

Still playing the game, I just can't figure out why everyone else in this damn universe is an idiot apart from myself.

"Hey the Reapers are coming, can you help?"
"Uh....nah. Tell you what, I'll help you if you go on this fetch quest for me."
"Well...we're facing total extinction but whatever"
*1 fetch quest later*
"Hey I brought this item/person back for you"
"That's great, but you should really go out and do this before we can help."
".....We're all gonna die. Is this really happening?"

I've been through this exact same scenario multiple times already across 2 games now. I've been right both times. You literally can't help me? I'll be honest, it's poor writing, I was hoping for more.

It's really not THAT urgent though. The reapers take hundreds of years to take over and harvest a planet. When Javik was born the Protheans had already been at war with the Reapers for a hundred years. Plus some of the alien races seem to have their own interest other than helping earth (or don't believe there is a threat) until the reapers are on their homes doorstep. Which I suppose is another issue.

I do agree people are idiots though, Ashley especially drives me nuts. I'M COMMANDER FUCKING SHEPARD GOD DAMMIT! Start doing what I tell you to do without constantly questioning me and stop trying to do things on your own when you only fuck up.

Unless the indoctrination theory is true. In that case she was right all along...

Slowly playing with one character all the way thru from ME 1 and am now close to the last missions in ME3.
Just in time for EA to release the DLC with extended scenes of the end-play next week

winner · « **Reply #353 on:** June 27, 2012, 11:52:13 AM »

Downloading the extended ending. Needs another hour to finish...

THUNDERDUCK · « **Reply #354 on:** June 27, 2012, 01:31:36 PM »

I DL'd the extended ending, haven't played it yet.

pikapikapika · « **Reply #355 on:** June 28, 2012, 08:43:20 PM »

I've played and finished one of the new endings!!

*spoilers*

I think it does some things good, some things bad.

Also I think it may even break it's own ending, like the epilogue on the moon in the original version.

They may even have changed the ending mostly to open the ending up further to sequels, which is one of the bad things, I don't know.. sigh lol.

winner · « **Reply #356 on:** June 28, 2012, 09:24:59 PM »

I did too. Overall, I don't think the extended cut really added that much impact.
Leaving holes in the original endings let us imagine what happened/will happen.

*spoilers*
Starchild's extra script made him feel less god-like? more MS Word Binder Clip...
Slideshow of pics. pretty meh. Gave me the same feeling as Street Fighter IV's cool trailers vs the boring story pics.

I did synthesis again. I couldn't destroy the Geth, when I've been fighting so long to help them. And controlling a race just felt plain evil. Letting everyone evolve into better beings and creating peace felt like the right thing to do.
When I walked the plank, I did turn around and have a long moment wishing to shoot the damn kid, without knowing it would trigger the 4th ending. Lucky I didn't. I'd have to play again!
Showing everyone with evil-undead green glowing eyes was freakin scary.
One change I did like was seeing the ship all fixed and flying away. It had a great feeling of hope.

frblckstr1 · « **Reply #357 on:** June 30, 2012, 08:08:57 AM »

Fisnished the full run thru of ME 1-3 yesterday, I now had actually the synthesis option which I choose this time.

The extra scenes with what happens afterwards where a nice touch.

Saw the other end-options on gamespot, don't think I'll try them unless if there is a sequal they have influence.

pikapikapika · « **Reply #358 on:** July 13, 2012, 05:33:46 AM »

Pretty cool looking, but since it's based around Vega, my least favorite ME character of all time, I'll pass.

I didn't even bother talking to him in 3 at all after he punched my femshep in the face, dick.

Tuffty · « **Reply #359 on:** July 13, 2012, 11:12:54 AM »

Seems like ME3's multiplayer is kinda busted. I can't get into a single game at all. I'm thinking it might be because of this new DLC has been added with new weapons and maps and shit and because I don't have it I'm being excluded out. Happened to me in AC:Brotherhood and I hate it. I'm not paying money for your shitty DLC but why am I being punished for it?
