I did that once (not getting the gift scene).. and I'd like to do it again. Not sure what to do to strike some balance. I don't want to outright ignore her either.Why? She made no attempt to let anyone know that Shepard's body was handed over to Cerberus. She ignored them. Return the favor. |

The most I can do is be buddies with Javik. lol |

I was cruising the Citadel yesterday, in ME2, and ran into the game seller. I could not tear myself away, his comments on the games were so hilarious, and just the right combination of the Easter egg and staying in the world. I loved how BioWare does it ever since that loading comment in Baldur's Gate 1 that warned you to eat, as they did not want to lose any dedicated players.

Mass Effect 1: Bring Down the Sky DLC. At the second fusion torch, the anti-vehicle mines can blow up the enemy Batarians outside.
I walked in, and was trying to kill them on foot with my pistol, then I had Wrex throw them. One of them had health when flying through the air. Then there was an explosion and no more Batarian.
30+ playthroughs and I never knew that could happen. I wish I had recorded that.

ME1: I discovered that if maleShep picks a fight with a "paragoned" Ashley and cannot (or chooses not to) charm or intimidate her, the relationship with her is terminated no matter which conversation options are picked. But if femShep does the same with a renegaded Kaidan, the relationship continues unless she tells him to back off (renegade response). I have no idea why these differ, especially since Ashley has a distinct "back off" option too.  |

If you take the renegade option on Jax and pull a gun on him, then give him the money for the goods, he has this to say: Also, War Hero Shepard has a unique line when using the renegade option on Conrad Verner: I think a Ruthless Shepard says something about Torfan too, but it's been a while. |

I (re)discovered how to get a bonus cutscene, dialogue, and enemy at Rift Station: 1. Deal with the Hot Labs first. 2. Clear out the room where you re-connect with Ventralis. (If you wish, you can also take out the 2 turrets and the 3 hallways full of guards in the restricted area, but don't turn the final corner to head to the elevator; a journal update occurs here that eliminates access to the cutscene). 3. Backpedal to the quarantine area. When the door opens you'll see Han Olar somewhat occupied. Step closer to start the cutscene. 4. Additional bonus dialogue with Han is available after the fight. Screen grab from the cutscene: |

There was a small bit of dialogue I heard, which I found quite interesting:
When talking to Allestia on Noveria, you can ask her what she researches, and, when one of the options is picked, Shepard says "Can you repeat that in Galactic," which I suppose was why aliens can all understand each other, before the translators were introduced into the lore.

I should add that when you do that Jax quest with Kaidan and Ash, it's one of those rare moments they talk to each other.
Ash: "Huh. Nobody died."
Kaidan: "I could shoot someone if it makes you feel better."

I'm gonna have to play this Han Olar scene now..

I discovered Lt. Zabaleta has 3 ambient lines of dialogue that he shouts to get Shepard's attention. He loops through these endlessly, and you don't have to move away and come back to get the next line (like with Kahoku and Charles Saracino). I only discovered this because I paused for supper in front of him. I remembered that Chorban does the same (4 unique lines repeated over and over while he's kneeling by the keeper). The Terra Firma protesters have more lines of repeat dialogue than body models. Gavin Hossle has 3 lines, but he only repeats the set after each time you speak to Juliana. Off hand I can't think of any other NPCs that do this. And what's that thing on the back of Lt. Zabaleta's outfit? |

I've seen a few others with that weird back thing. Like the workers in Zaeed's quest. I've always wondered what it was too.

Quite a lot of NPCs in the docks in ME3 have something that looks like that. I assumed it was a backpack with a bed roll on the bottom, but it looks bloody weird in that shot.

I might've liked the Starkid more if he wore won. It looks like a space age school backpack.

When I was playing ME2 recently, I decided to listen to all of the Galactic News. This was on a run where Ashley died. Near the end of all of the news, I hear this little gem.
"Williams was reported to have said, "Alien or human, we're all just animals."
The actual line was, "I can't tell the aliens from the animals." Nice bit of whitewashing by the Alliance.
