What did you do today in ME?

With regards to the fish I just simply forget sometimes, usually its because I forget to do it before a mission and then log off and forget to do it before I go do another mission!!!!! 

Sometimes I'm really good at it, but this isn't one of those times.  That's why I'm shamelessly flirting with Kelly so she'll feed my fish, and then give them back to me in ME3.

I fish you could flirt with more people.  I mean, I had an MEA run where I romanced FIVE people.  Then BioWare "fixed" it.  (Peebee, Keri, Reyes, Gil and...that one angaran chick whose name I'm forgetting)

Yeah agreed, and yes I had the same scenario in an early PT. My last PT when I romanced Cora was the first time I didn't also have a casual fling with PB and also with Kerri plus no flirting with Avela. I think one of the best things re the PB romance is that you constantly get to flirt with her and thus get constant feedback on the relationship.

So started ME2 just now, William Shepard Soldier and Spacer has arisen!!!!!!!

Some pics from today.

Started the day on Ontarom, where Corp. Toombs was holed up chasing mad scientists. Kate shot Dr. Cerberus and Toombs seemed to be doing ok afterwards. Later, it was time to hunt down some shifty looking cows.

After recuperating in the Mako, take two of Space Monkeys of Eletania. Renegade Shep didn't harm a single one of the little beasties.

I actually made it up here without raging even once.



Now on Feros. Took care of all the Zhu's Hope issues. Next stop: ExoGeni HQ.

About the only time grenades are useful in ME1.

Well done, it annoyed the hell out of the first time but I stupidly went back there again (which was rage inducing) as the question mark didn't change to an "x" so I thought it was something new 

I'm in another playthrough for the ME-T and have Shepard as an Adept.

My trips on Therum, to find Liara, have been utterly frustrating. Garrus and Kaiden have been better as my squadmates for their tech abilities against the geth, especially for their Decryption/sabotage talents. As an Adept, however, I am ineffective. I'm constantly using the HUD to order Kaiden and Garrus to use their powers; I'm reduced to be being a nervous HUD operator and little else.

I've read through the ME wiki mission outline, but I have not yet learned the best adept strategies I should be using against the geth at this early point in the game. Plus, my talent levels are so low, even after completing every assignment on the Citadel, and the cooldowns take so long for my squadmates to recover their abilities, that I'm running around like a scared cat.

I'm about to give up this playthrough. Your suggestions are welcomed. Is there an Adept thread around here?


EDIT: This is a New Game, not a ng+

Thank you for your helpful Adept comments.

I'm thinking at this point I should try to either:  A) Complete a lot of side missions before going to Therum, so I can level up my key Adept talents before battling the heavier-hitting geth on Therum, Noveria, and Feros - or -  B. Save the Adept class for a NG+ run-through as you have. I'll read through the NG+ info so I can understand it's advantages for transferring talent points to a different career.

cram the Mako through the rocks ... turn it on its side .... that will help with the first encounter at the mine entrance.

Wow. I'm stunned this maneuver is possible. I'm blown away!   Thanks. K

Owen Shepard:

I went to see "Sgt. Cathka" to get my orders. He was nice enough to tell me the entire plan and that the gunship was busted and that he was the only mechanic working on it. When Archangel was spotted, everyone ran. I, personally, felt Cathka looked overworked. Being the nice guy that I am, I helped him take a much needed break.



I headed toward Archangel with the rest of the freelancers, who I promptly began shooting in the back. Did get nicked by Archangel but nothing my shields couldn't handle. Once all the mercs were down, I made my way to Archangel. I watched him use a sniper rifle to take out one last merc before turning my way. Then he took off his help. I knew he was a turian but, damn, I never expected Garrus Vakarian. TIM said he couldn't find Garrus but here he was on my list of recruits.



Jaroth, the head of Eclipse, but in an appearance. He rolled out his YMIR mech, the same one I'd messed with earlier. It immediately started firing on the mercs, making that much fewer of them to deal with. Then we dealt with the YMIR itself.

Next, I had to seal some doors to keep the mercs from coming through. I left Zaeed with Garrus while Jack and I took care of that. As soon as that was done, Garm showed up with his Blood Pack. Still, he went down, which left only one mercenary left.

Tarak showed up in his gunship with plenty of Blue Suns mercs. The gunship wasn't up to snuff but it was still able to fire a shot off that took Garrus out. I didn't know if he was okay or not but I was damned sure Tarak was going to pay for it. One thing I did have on my was an M-920 Cain. Nothing like a nuke to take out a shitty gunship. Now I just have to get back to the Normandy and hope he survives.

Garrus did survive but with some serious scars on his face. He tried to laugh it off but he didn't look so good. Can't say why but he refused to have his scars healed. I was the opposite. Didn't want anything messing up my pretty face.

Bonus: My fish are still alive. Fortunately, my space hamster requires a lot less care, but I still draw the little guy out whenever I'm in my cabin.

Went around to the crew to see if they had any ideas about upgrades. Mordin gave me plans for an upgrade to his omni-tool. Jacob suggested upgraded armor, since the ship was specced to the original Normandy and the Collectors had destroyed it with ease. Miranda suggested an upgrade to the scanners so we could cover more area with the planet scans in less time. Useful for mineral recovery but not so much for battle. Garrus set us up with a Thanix Cannon, powerful enough to take out a Collector ship. Exactly the kind of weapon the Normandy needed. Grunt had an upgrade for shotguns. Jack had schematics for the L5x implants, which would make her stronger. I could use that, too, but this was experimental and upgrading biotic implants often didn't go well so I passed. So did Miranda and Jacob.
