Mass Effect Legendary Edition (General Discussion)

Do you still need an answer to this dragontartare ?

In the MELE Save Editor you can download from NMM under "Plot" then in the "Romance" Tab there is a field that has "The Illusive Man Progress". Mine is currently "2" but that doesn't seem right as I have spoken to him all the times up until you meet him at the end but the values do not often reflect what has happened in game from my experience when you open the save. I am guessing you could change that to a higher value like 5 to make sure you got all the options at the end.

They have Talons which shoot pellets. They register separately and as such can easily bypass the shield gate that keeps you often alive. Rapid fire weapons do similarly but shotguns deliver in one shot. The Talon is pretty powerful actually.

Death by grenade or Cerberus Turret is a feature, not a bug, and certainly not new. ME3 is incredibly easy on Insanity, but these are two of the few ways to get killed quickly.

I'm not sure how death by grenade or turret could ever be considered "buggy" or undesirable. It's working as intended. I want games to push me; and needing to move away from live grenades or avoid turrets is not a terribly high bar.


I do agree that MEA's cover system is vastly superior. No matter how aggressive your build and playstyle, you sometimes grab cover to regen shields or take a second to prep your next move. Ryder glides in and out of cover naturally and seamlessly. He can also swap shoulders. I do it reflexively all the time, both in and out of cover. Being unable to swap hands in the MET is frustrating. It definitely feels primitive by comparison. (For good reason, given the comparative ages and dev sequences of the games.)

It goes back to the trilogy though so I think it is reasonable that it works as intended.  And its also quite easily avoidable and heck probably is the whole reason BioWare put it in their in the first place, so you don't get too complacent in cover.  

OP enemy grenades are absolutely part of the OT, and particularly absolutely a feature of ME3.

What I have gathered from this thread is that most of you have played very little MP. Flawless solo's get lolnuped by enemy grenades, regularly. If you hear the beep too late, or never saw/heard it to begin with, boom pow Kobayashi Maru.

I have played some MP... and after you're leveled by whatever, somebody else just comes along and revives you... or you revive yourself with your own supplies.  Not really a big deal.  In principle... grenades should deal a consistent amount of damage... otherwise, it's a cheap trick to throw in one that insta-kills every now and then... simple as that.  If it's a feature... it's a cheap mechanic.

On Insanity grenades one shot you if you are to close to them, even in Andromeda. Indicator is another story, because if you don't see grenade you can't tell how far away it is by just looking the indicator. Can't speak how it works on lower difficulties because I only played on Insanity.

This:

Cough Shield Gate cough health gate.


It's all in the ME3MP sub, if any of you need game knowledge we have already done this to death 10 times over.

Just dropping in to say Priority: Tuchanka is one of the best missions in the game and I don't care what anyone says.
