So, there's this idea which has been in my head for a while, and it is as the thread name says: Intentionally killing off a few squadmate in ME2's Suicide Mission. The idea is an attempt to add more dramatic affect to the mission.
I know! It sounds crazy. Who in their right mind would intentionally kill characters off in ME2 for dramatic affect??
The main challenge, however, is not making Shepard look stupid in the process. By stupid, I mean the decisions she makes during the mission.
Say I specifically want Jacob, Miranda, Zaeed, and probably Kasumi to be the casualties. How would I do this without sacrificing the ship upgrades, and making decisions that would make Shep look stupid like choosing Jacob to go in the vents?
I could finish Zaeed's loyalty mission in a way that would result in not gain this loyalty, and choose him to either lead the distraction team (during the long walk) or to escort the crew back to the Normandy. I could side with Jack, losing Miranda's loyalty and pick her to lead the the second fire team at the start of the mission, and choose Kasumi for the vents, leading to Kasumi dying in the process. Then, pick Miranda to fight the proto reaper, which will result in her death, because she's not loyal.
But this leaves Jacob. If I choose Jacob to go in the vents, that would be an obviously stupid decision on Shep's part. I don't want to skip his loyalty mission, because I want to end it where his father is left to be killed by the hunters. So, there's only one solution left, and that is to pick a different squadmate other than Jack or Samara for the biotic field. In a story telling perspective, this would be a dumb decision for Shepard to make, right? Are there other solutions I might be missing?

You say they'll use the Archives, right? I remember there being several polls made in light of MELE's release. What if--and this might sound ridiculous--they decide to use the results for each poll as statistics for predetermined outcomes for ME5? For example, if majority players prefer to play male Shepard, then everyone refers to Shepard as male, even gorg players who prefer FemShep, like me.

I don't really want to spend so much money for a high end PC. Most of my gaming is on my PS5. I've been thinking about getting a computer for multimedia purposes (art, music, videos, and internet), with a little room for some games, namely ones I can't play on PS5 (Halo: Master Chief Collection, Dragon Age: Origins, DA2, and Gmod). Top of the line hardware has become way to expensive. The amount of money I'd spend for an RTX 4090 is enough buy a used car, with money left over. I need a new computer, though. I've been thinking either a $300-$400 desktop, or one of those Mini PCs, and with enough power to at least play some of those aforementioned games at 1080p-1440p at 30fps. So a general use PC? What is the budget? $400? FYI H-MC and DAO would not run well on a MINI PC. An Intel NUC is an option but I don't see one for less than $800. If your wanting RTX your going to be breaking the bank for the GPU no matter what. If you don't worry about RTX then any GPU would work for 1080p all the way back to 1000 GTX series. However for 1440p you would need better than that. If I may ask what is your current storage capacity and do you want or need more? Also are you making art, music and videos or just watching and listening too? I really don't want to break the bank. I just want a pre built computer no more than $500. I have no idea how to build one myself. Maybe one with power comparable to an Xbox One X. It's weird. I thought mini PCs with Ryzen 5 processors, and AMD Radeon Vega 7-8 GPUs would run those games just fine. I would like to draw again. If anything, I might just have to buy a laptop for that, and an Xbox One X for said games.

1) What are the possibilities that Mass Effect 5 will allow save transfers from ME3? 2) Do you think BioWare would go as far as making this cross-gen? Even now, newer games are cross gen. Hogwarts Legacy was recently released for PS4 & Xbox One. Assassin's Creed: Mirage will also be cross-gen.

I have a PS5, which houses my entire gaming library. I've been thinking about getting an Xbox, and transferring (in a sense) most 3rd party games, including Mass Effect from my PS5 to the Xbox (essentially starting each one over again), and to be honest, I don't know why. Everywhere I look, people say the Series X is the most powerful console. Maybe I'm feeling nostalgic and want to play ME on Xbox. One of the reasons I wanted to get an Xbox was Assassin's Creed: Syndicate. It wasn't working properly on PS5, but now it's been patched. There's also Dragon Age Origins and DA2, which I have never played before. They're only backwards compatible on Xbox, as far as consoles are concerned. There's also Fable and Halo. I don't know if I really want to play those games, but there's a part of me that wants an Xbox because they're there, readily available. But I don't know if it's worth all the trouble, economically speaking. Is it a big enough loss? Am I truly missing out? You could argue a bigger loss would be if I had an Xbox but not a PlayStation. Please note that I don't want a PC. I'm done with PC, and can Bo longer afford it.
What do you think?

Doesn't Rana kill a bunch of people in ME3 because she was indoctrinated the whole time? How can Shep let her go, if I want Miranda to shoot Niket, or Mordin to shoot Maelon? Anyway, about my comment above, I have completely stopped my current playthrough. I'm actually really excited to do the aforementioned scenario. Just need to get an Xbox first. I also have to move first, so it might be a while. In regards to the decisions in game, specifically being Paragon and Renegade, you don't think she'll seem a bit bipolar, do you? For example, she'll charm to convince Cole to give her the extra items on Eden Prime (threatening the civilian would be out of place) and the C-Sec officer to allow the Hanar to preach on the Presidium, but she'll also intimidate to resolve the situation between the biotic extremists and Chairman Burns. Compassionate towards some, especially with friends, but more aggressive to enemies, or other kinds of obstacles. Take Toombs for example. I would like for Shep to have no choice but to shoot him down, then arrest the scientist. She'd save the wounded Batarian in Mordin's recruitment mission, as well as the wounded Salarian in Thane's, but leave the refinery workers to die to stop a dangerous man like Vido from getting away. A hero who makes tough decisions, even if there are sacrifices. I mean, how would you describe a character like this? Are there any examples of characters like this?
Yes Rana kills a bunch of people and costs you some war assets in ME3, but at the time of ME1 Shepard does not know that. According to Rana herself, she is not yet indoctrinated but fears becoming so if she were to work longer at Saren's facility. But i guess there are enough instances were shooting someone is handled with a weird pacing that you can make this work for your Shepard as well. Its only bipolar if you choose to interpret it that way. I guess most of the weird pacing in ME1 comes from the technical side of the dialogue system, and there being no interrupts yet.
Hm not sure how i'd call that stereotype, but Capt. Malcom Reynolds comes to mind (Firefly) - Well, i don't think he would try to convince anyone to let someone preach I was thinking about the whole Rana thing more. It's weird, I spare Shiala on Feros all the time. Would sparing Shiala and not Rana be hypocritical? I mean, we're talking about two different situations, right? Shiala was another one of the Thorian's victims, but she also worked for Saren (technically Benezia). But her words were sincere, and she did help a great deal with the cipher. As for Rana, the encounter was after all the indoctrinated test subject (some of whom Shepard shot down out of mercy). Victims of experiments that turned them into mindless Husks. She was part of that house of horrors. However, it doesn't seem like she was there willingly. I don't know. Virmire is a screwed up place. Screwed up things happened there.

Basically, it got rebalanced in the sense that the Paragon/Renegade point distribution to be a bit more lenient. You don’t have to focus on one or the other as hard to reach the bars needed for late game decisions, letting players more comfortably try out other options. Granted, I usually don't make many "Renegade" options, but that's what I did find out from those that enjoy those kinds of "Paragade/Renagon" runs. So Miranda can kill Niket, Mordin can kill Maelon, Zaeed can kill Vido, Garrus can kill Sidonis (mercy kill if do it a certain way), and Jacob can leave his father at the mercy of his crew without all of this coming back to bite me in the ass later? I really hope it works out. I want my next playthrough to be a little darker, but still hopeful.

I read somewhere that ME2's morality system was adjusted for MELE.
Does anyone know how it has changed exactly?
I'm asking, because I want to make a more neutral Shepard, with Paragon & Renegade being a little more balanced. For example, I want certain things to happen without using a Paragon interrupt, like Miranda shooting Niket, or Mordin shooting Maelon. Another example would be allowing Zaeed to kill Vido. My worries are in regards to the confrontations between Jack & Miranda, and Tali & Legion. What are the Paragon/Renegade requirements now in MELE compared to the original?

I want to try another scenario in the foreseeable future, but on Xbox. I want my Shep to have the same name, face backstory, class, etc, but I want to make some alterations that would make her more Paragade/Neutral. I want the playthrough to be more grim but still hopeful. For example, I want Garrus to kill Dr. Saleon & take out Sidonis (Mercy Kill), Shepard to kill Finch, Toombs, Balak, Jeong (in self defense), and Rana Thanoptis, the Alliance fleet to concentrate on Sovereign, Miranda to kill Niket, and Zaeed to kill Vido, along with all the new changes I've made recently, like convincing Kasumi to get rid of Keiji's Graybox, and destroying the Heretics. I also want to use both Paragon and Renegade exploits (UNC: Lost Module & Lorik Quinn) so that I can do both Besieged Base, and The Negotiation. I kind of want my Mass Effect experience to be like a Western, where the main character is good, but also gets their hands dirty without looking like the bad guy. A Paragade. Neutral Good. She lets Garrus kill Saleon because he's a diranged psychopath, letting Balak go would only put more colonies at risk. Letting Vido go would only allow him to enslave more civilians. Sure Zaeed eventually kills him, but six months is a long time. As for the Council, Sovereign is an unknown. A machine with power the likes of which no one has ever seen. Time is running out. It's logical to concentrate all firepower to take the Reaper down to save the Galaxy. As Spock once said, "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one." Again, compassionate when needed, and making tough decisions without being evil. Good to hear friends, lethal to her enemies. She'll comfort Tali after she sees her dead father in on scene, then burn a Krogan from the Werloc Clan alive in another. What do you think about this? If you take Wrex with you to Chora's Denn, he will shoot Fist for you, no questions asked. I'm not sure Rana Thanoptis fits the 'not being evil' bill though, after all she does help Shepard and just stands there doing nothing threatening after that.
I'd recommend the 'Shoot Elnora Even Faster' mod for LE2 to go with this playthrough - but i still haven't gotten around to actually getting the LE. So i only heard that mod exists
Edit: Oh xbox, so no mods for you then I tried to play some Shepards like that, some of the choices are a bit weirdly paced, e.g., the one for Elnora or even shooting Charn on X57. But it works with enough retroactive headcanonizing Doesn't Rana kill a bunch of people in ME3 because she was indoctrinated the whole time? How can Shep let her go, if I want Miranda to shoot Niket, or Mordin to shoot Maelon? Anyway, about my comment above, I have completely stopped my current playthrough.

Rallying the Galaxy for a counterstrike against the Reapers is no easy task. Case in point, Cerberus continued to be an obstacle. Shep returned to where it all began: Eden Prime, where she uncovered not just any old Prothean device, but an actual living, breathing Prothean referred to as Javik, and he is out for Reaper blood. Her next stop was Grissom Academy, to save a bunch of kids from Cerberus, naturally. Then came the summit in order to make an alliance that can turn the tide in the war. One one solution can be made for the Krogan and Turians to work together and stand by humanity to save Earth. The Genophage Cure. Shep & company traveled to Sur'Kesh, the Salarian homeworld, to rescue the last remaining female Krogan immune to the disease. After dealing with a few bumps along the way, including helping her Krogan son deal with Reaper enslaved Rachni, saving a Turian platoon, destroying a bomb, and plowing through tons of Reaper forces, the Genophage was cured, but at great cost... 50,000 Year Nap... Saved By The Belle... Krogan Queen... There Be (Indoctrinated) Rachni... Junior Platoon... Out With A Bang... Be Gone, Genophage...

I know I probably shouldn't be making a thread for this, but other threads are either dead or dying. Has anyone else noticed the music in MELE's menu is a bit different on PlayStation compared to Xbox & PC. Xbox and PC uses "Resynthesis" in the menu, while PlayStation uses an older remix of said track called "Ghost Ship." I wonder if it was an oversight, or if BioWare was like "screw PlayStation" and gave the port the old track. 🤣
Either way it's interesting that even though Resynthesis was marketed for MELE, the older, unreleased version of the music was used in the PlayStation port.

Six. Months. Later... Then, it hit! The Reapers have arrived and begun their invasion across the Galaxy. The lovely and badass heroine, Commander Shepard, had no choice but to leave Earth behind, at the mercy of a Reaper onslaught. She left with the hope of uniting the forces of all the spacefaring Civilizations in an effort to defeat the Reapers, and restore freedom to the Galaxy... Reapers At The Door...

Shep was very busy lately. She saved a man from a Cerberus experiment gone wrong, acquired the Reaper IFF, met a talking Geth, destroyed the Geth heretics, rescued the Normandy crew, blew the Collector Base to hell, helped Liara hunt down the Shadow Broker, fought a bunch of indoctrinated humans, and delayed the Reaper invasion by destroying a Mass Relay! (deep breath) It All Seemed Harmless... Fetch Quest... Robo-Ethics... Unwelcomed Guests... To Hell, And Back... Hide And Seek... Collision Course... Shep must now return to Earth to face the music for her recent actions. Cerberus, the Collectors, a Mass Relay blowing up and wiping out a whole system with massive casualties. The list goes on, all the while the Reaper invasion remains imminent. The battle for humanity has ended. The battle for the Galaxy is about to begin...

Loaded up my Forbidden West save to play around with photo mode again... On the loading screen, there is bright star in the sky. I don't care if you correct me, but I like to think that it's Nemesis, slowly approaching Earth. Still far away, but close enough to be visible in the sky.

After her encounter with the Collectors --and an unfortunate reunion-- on Horizon, Shep continued to build the team. She traveled to Haestrom, a planet deep in Geth controlled space, to recruit Tali. Shep's next stop was the unofficial Asari world Illium. With the help of her old flame, Liara, she found and recruited an Asari Justicar named Samara, and a Drell assassin named Thane Krios. The mission was cut short, and the Commander was sent on a dormant Collector ship to gather Intel. During the mission, she and her Squad would discover the horrifying secret behind the Collectors' existence. After narrowly escaping the crutches of the Collectors, and discovering the location of their hidden base, it was decided to continue strengthening the team's resolve beforehand... Fun In The Sun...

After completing a few missions on the side, Shep turned her attention towards the prison ship Purgatory to recruit a biotic psychopath, then the giant trash heap known as Korlus, and inadvertently adopted a Krogan, so to speak. Then, it happened. The Collectors emerged again, and attacked Horizon, leaving some humans behind, thanks to Shep cutting their visit short... Odds & Ends... The Psychotic Biotic...

As the Citadel community rebuilds, the fate of the entire Galaxy continues to hang in a balance with the Reapers lingering in Dark Space beyond the horizon. Commander Shepard sets out with her crew, eager to find more answers regarding the Reaper threat, though the Council officially blames the Citadel attack on Saren and his Geth forces, in an attempt to avoid wide spread panic. While on a routine mission to wipe out any remaining pockets of Saren's followers, the Normandy was brutally destroyed by a massive ship of unknown origin, and Shepard was killed in the process. Two years have passed. With cutting edge technology, and an enormous fortune, the rogue human group called Cerberus managed to save Shepard's life. Back from the dead, Shepard must now cooperate with an enemy faction to investigate human disappearances on remote colonies within the Terminus Systems. While on a seemingly abandoned human colony called Freedom's Progress, Shepard, along with Cerberus Operatives Miranda Lawson & Jacob Taylor, discover that the colonists have been kidnapped by a mysterious and dangerous alien race...known throughout the Galaxy as: THE COLLECTORS! The Attack... Rude Awakening... A Ghost Town... That New Car Smell... Back At The Ranch... The Steel Grave...

After dealing with more hostile Rachni on other locations in known space, it was time for Shep to go to Virmire, and help a platoon of Salarians stationed there. With the aid of the Salarians, lead by Captain Kirrahe, Shep and her Squad managed to infiltrate Saren's base, a large fortress supposedly created to breed a deadly army of Krogan. They would soon discover that it was far worse than a breeding facility. There Shep witnessed first hand the horrifying experiments involving indoctrinated, caused by a "signal" emitting from Sovereign, an actual Reaper. Salarians who were captured were exposed to Sovereign's influence, and became mindless Husks, bending to its will. After a confrontation with Saren himself, the base was blown to hell, but not without cost... The Council denied Shep's request to go to Ilos and stop Saren from finding the Conduit. As a result, the Normandy was put on lockdown. Time was running out. The fate of the Galaxy was at stake. With the help from Anderson, Shep and crew managed to steal the Normandy and arrive at Ilos through the Mu Relay. Ilos, a city lost for 50,000 years would become the one chance to stop the Reapers from returning, at least for now... The Conduit, revealed to be a back door to the Citadel, lead Shep back on Saren's trail, just as Sovereign began his deadly attack on the station with Geth forces. Shep finally cornered Saren. It was clear to Shep that he was beyond saving, and she was forced to take him down, but Sovereign had other plans... With the Council saved, and a final bombardment, Sovereign, a Reaper, was destroyed. Galactic Civilization was saved. Humanity had finally earned their place in Galactic society, and Shep was a hero. She knew it wasn't over. Sovereign was just one of many. The Reapers are still out there, and she has find a way to stop them. Dark times lay ahead, and war is on the horizon... Finding stragglers... Beachfront Assault... The Base... To Ilos we go... Out of the frying pan, and into the fire... Victory, for now...

Many missions were completed. While most of them were unrelated to stoping Saren, they did, in a way, add to the bigger picture. Some even added to the mystery of the Reapers. The Galaxy is a dangerous place. After completing multiple missions on the side & foiling the Batarians' attempt at planet destruction, Shep continued her hunt for Saren & the Conduit. Feros was the next stop. Geth were everywhere, but she took care of them. With the cipher taken from the vile Thorian, Shepard is one step closer to finding the Conduit. Then came Noveria. Like Anderson said, it was trouble. A place of corruption. Not to mention the Geth continued to be a problem. To make matters worse, Rachni have returned, and without the influence of the Queen, held captive at Peak 15, they were feral, and violent. Shep confronted Matriarch Benezia, and found out about about the lost Mu Relay, another piece added to this galactic-sized puzzle. Instead of killing the Queen, Shep allowed her to leave in the hopes that she will create a less violent future for the rest of her kind... The sky didn't fall after all... Plant trouble... Post Feros... An icy situation...
