Well check the key bindings and just change them if you don't like them!

On default settings space is used for running/cover etc and i would recommend swapping that to shift (like all games have shift for running so this one is just weird)
Shift is the command hub so that could be put on space, so just swapping both

The in-game chat is pretty shit usually

Also scrolling allows to swap between weapons so that may be useful information

that's all i can think that may be useful for now


EDIT: also if you want mods look up ME3CMM (it also unlocks console although there are other easier ways of doing that) 

Is the console cheating??? like I was told it was cheating in KOTOR and that I didnt want it...

I suggest Caratinoid's "Lag Fix", Mgamerz ME3Tweaks, and changing your FOV to 90 or greater. I like 100.

Also, if you want to play the horribly broken Talon Merc on PC, you will have to fix his keybinding. I recommend mgamerz tweaks for this as well, as it is automated and all you have to know how to do is edit an xml.

Welcome to the Mustard Race, our pastrami is the best!

Um whats an xml???

Hehe thank you! Im looking forward to playing... it should be done in a few hours

Enabling the console gives you access to lots of things, a bad text chat being one of them. So you can enable it and only use that function. You can use this to learn how to enable the console. You can also use Mgamerz's modmanager I think, and it would also let you use the controller mod if you want.

Gameplay wise, first and foremost you should learn to reload cancel with the medigel key (though I don't know if you can do it with a controller). You will also need to get used to the higher frame rate some hosts have: enemies will react faster and will be more accurate.

And that's all I can think of for now, welcome to PC mustard rice  .

Thank you ill enable it when its finished downloading

So playing on pc is harder??? Oh god...

Thank you

The chat is useful, particularly if ME3 doesn't cooperate with your brand of microphone. Other commands can be useful also; if a wave bugs out you can restart it, or if enemies get stuck somewhere you can teleport to their location and forcibly remove them (with your gun).

With great power comes great responsibility! It's not cheating unless you use it for a specific cheating purpose. Of course, simply HAVING console commands will probably be enough for some people to decide you are cheating when you outscore them.

Im not sure my playstation headset is compatible with my pc and either way... i dont usually voice chat not really my kind of thing even if you guys are all awesome i still dont know you really

It sounds useful I guess using it for the chat and fixing things is ok... i honestly wouldnt know where to begin with using it so ill google it

Even though my internet currently is going a little faster than it was while downloading SWTOR, it might be tomorrow (ok it will probably be tomorrow) by the time i can actually play... but ill leave it on while im at work and maybe overnight also and try and get playing as soon as I can

So

Ive literally (like an hour ago) bought Mass Effect 3 for pc (I was excited about it ok ) so yeah... ill have to start again I guess (not that im far through on the playstation anyway)

Do you have any tips??? (I know that it will be different and will take some getting used to... like with the controls... but still) Is there anything I need to know before I start playing (when its downloaded that is)??? Just wondering how different the 2 versions are

The main difference appart from controls also depends on which hardware you have in your PC, with good hardware you can run the game at much higher frame rates compared to consoles, the Xbox360 and PS3 especially are very old from a hardware perspective and are locked on a very low frame rate. At higher frame rates the game looks better and runs faster and smoother, keep in mind though that the higher frame rate you play with the harder the game gets as the enemy AI is highly affected by the increase in frame rate, they shoot more accurately and more frequently compared to console versions, go high enough and it's practically unplayable.
