Out of curiosity, what made you pick Kaidan over Ashley? This time? Well, I actually like both, so its really a crapshoot which it'll be. "Ash annoyed me too much with god and religion stuff, so I dropped flirting and concentrated on Liara. Dont get me wrong I thought she'd have better odds at surviving than Kaidan." -Psycho Shepard

Shepard: Alright everyone. Settle down. Who's next? Betty: Did you really die at the beginning of ME2? Shepard: In the game, yes. Bioware had me dead for about 2 years. In real life? No. What happened is the Normandy was attacked by an unknown enemy. I immediately gave the evacuation order. I went through the ship as quickly as possible making sure all made it to the escape pods. As I was approaching the escape pod, I felt a lot of pain in my hip causing me to pass out as I made it on the pod. It turned out I had to have my hip replaced, and a couple of rods inserted in my upper leg. I was lucky I didn't lose my leg. I wasn't able to walk for about 7 months. What the Alliance did, was to have me dead, so whoever attacked wouldn't think I survived, since I later learned I was the target. Betty: Just to follow up on that. How did you end up with Cerberus? Shepard: Once I was able to move around without any noticeable limp, I gathered a couple of my squadmates. We traveled around trying to find a way to stop the reapers. One day, on the Citadel, I was approached by a woman, Miranda Lawson. She told me about colonists being abducted. I asked the Alliance. They confirmed what Miranda said. I was upset that nothing was being done. I met with Miranda again, who provided proof. I went with her and Jacob Taylor to Freedom's progress. I saw a video of the collectors taking the colonists. I met with the Alliance about working with Cerberus to stop the collectors. They weren't happy about it, but knew something had to be done. Plus Cerberus had a new ship that I could use. Ms. Garrett? Garrett: Yes ma'am. What were your thoughts when the council refused to help the first time you spoke with them? Shepard: Frustration, but I understood why they did. I had little to nothing at the time even though we already started building the crucible. Mark: In ME2, depending on what the player chooses to do, nearly everyone could die. Did any on your ship die? Shepard: No. Before going to the galactic core, Admiral Hackett was able to provide 2 cruisers for aid. They were fitted with the IFF. Once through the relay, one of the ships suffered a lot of damage because it wasn't able to maneuver quick enough when avoiding the debris field. Luckily they suffered no deaths, but had a lot of injured. They stayed back while my ships and the other went ahead. With the combined firepower of the Normandy and the crusier, the collector ship was destroyed. Because of the explosion, it gave Joker time to land on the base to drop us off. We did fight a lot of collectors. Next.
Linda: Since you mentioned that you've played ME3, I would guess you've played the previous two games. What is your favorite mission? Shepard: Not sure. I haven't played the first two in quite sometime. I would say the suicide mission. Team work at its best. Last one? Robert? Robert: What's it like walking on the Citadel? Shepard: Overwhelming the first time. For me anyways. All I can say is if you get the opportunity to visit, take it. What is it Mr. Goode? Mr.Goode: Just a quick question. Is it true Conrad Verner is your number one fan? Shepard: Ha. If he isn't, he's very close. He's a good guy. I've even been with him when he was promoting his books. He's a good friend. That's enough folks. We can continue this discussion tomorrow. Have a nice day.

Miranda apparently knows how to prevent a certain Shepard from raiding her drawers. I've got a femShep who just started her 'replay career' to finalise decisions and get those last three levels to reach 60 and ready herself for being killed imported into ME2.
I've got two dumb questions:
First - ME appears to save screenshots as bitmap? How do I make image uploaders recognize that?
Second - About the import of Paragon/Renegade points into ME2. I've got a Paragon Shepard who abused the infamous Lorik Qui'in glitch to get sufficient renegade points so she could meet and desintegrate "Lord" Darius into a pile of Polonium goo. Very satisfying. Importing this one into ME2, I had approx. the first sub-bar of both sides filled equally and it took some time to get enough Paragon to make her light scars fade completely, and I actually liked that from an RP perspective. Later on, I put that playthrough on hiatus after I could not resolve the Miranda/Jack loyalty conflict despite having full Paragon bar. Was that 1/4 bar of renegade cancelling out an equal amount of paragon? I also read something that even a full bar might not guarantee an blue/red dialogue option to be available due to some hidden mechanics adjusting requirements on the fly. Can someone tell me how it works or is there a way to just get the missing points via "cheat" or mods, like ME's console allows?

Morality checks are based on how much points of given side you could get from the areas you can visit at the moment. In effect: – tresholds rise when you unlock new missions/areas – Paragon/Renegade interrupts not followed/preceded by Renegade/Paragon interrupts respectively give you pure profit (yay!). Gibbed's ME2 save editor has morality points under Raw -> Plot -> ME2 Plot Table. Tweak them both to 1500 and you're good.

In effect: – tresholds rise when you unlock new missions/areas – Paragon/Renegade interrupts not followed/preceded by Renegade/Paragon interrupts respectively give you pure profit (yay!). So I should basically do the missions in the order they appear and follow a blue always with a blue or the other way around to get max points?
Now I know why I remembered the 2 as being a bit on the railroading side again. No wonder Miranda's Loyalty conflict was messing with me on that playthrough as I did Jack's Loyalty early but intended Miranda for last before the IFF Mission. Ah, thanks. Found the editor on moddb. That should do the trick.

Any time I want both Lawson and Jack loyal, I do their loyalty missions as early as possible. I do Miranda's right after Horizon, then talk with Jack. After that, I complete her loyalty mission. When facing both, I get the red and blue dialogue options no matter if playing paragon or renegade.

Any time I want both Lawson and Jack loyal I think Jack and Miranda are one of the most interesting pairs of characters and the most interesting female pair in gaming. I have no other recollection, at least, of any other female pair of characters that play off so well on one another. The closest we can probably get to that is the relationship between Bayonetta and Jeanne, but it doesn't come close to their chemistry that plays off their antithesis of basically being the two polar opposites of the same person, but with some added baggage, unique to each.

Thanks for the tips. With the edited save game assistance, my FemShep finally made it past the Loyalty conflict. After a big brawling exercise with nurmerous blue zombies and some eye shooting, she picked up one of her favourite party members and blew a station to bits, despite its lack of structural weaknesses. Mission continued to the galaxy core and after warp-and-fireball-ing numerous bugs possessed by a control freak, we played a round of whack-a-terminator. Everyone intended to survive did so and little Timmy/Tammy was left with a nice blue sun to muse about. Now continuing into ME3, but I guess my Shep could use a facelift. She looked decent in ME, went into okay-ish in ME2. ME3s default makeover needs tweaking though.

for my own canon Shep I tend to have to change her eye color and the color of her eyebrows, aside from that she tends to import quite well

After a few days of thinking about it, I popped in ME3 to play some sniper infiltrator.
I started a New Game+ with Shawna Shepard. I cannot remember what she started as in her first playthrough, but I remember ending it as a Javelin Infiltrator. So I decided to take her back in and snipe everything that moves (and a bunch of things that do not move when I inevitably miss). I started her this playthrough with mostly Paragon conversation choices until I finally got full control of her and saw she had been vastly Renegade in her previous playthrough. Whoops.
Anyway, she got off Earth, then went to Mars. Several Cerberus heads exploded. Then it was off to the Citadel for talking, back to the Normandy for a bad dream and more talking. Then some space exploration, researched a store discount, and upgraded some weapons.
Then finally made it Menae (a shame it was not Palaven) where Reaper troops took Javelin shots to the ribs, legs, brains, or wherever. It toots, I shoots. (That last sentence made no sense).
I can hardly wait (sarcasm) for the next part where I spend a bunch more time talking and scanning.

After reading about someone talking about having his first ME2 run on r/mass effect, I decided it was time to try it again. The crashing during the Archangel recruitment mission was annoying the crap out of me. Still happened. Restarted the mission. Same result. Uninstalled and reinstalled. Same thing. Finally deleted the character and imported it all over again. So... Jaysen Shepard, Vanguard, Sole Survivor, Colonist is reborn.

OK, trying Jaysen one more time. We'll see what happens when I get to Archangel.
All was well on the Normandy. It was boring, and the Council was wasting my time sending me after geth, but there wasn't much I could do. Going rogue to take down Saren and Sovereign wasn't something they were going to forget. Then we got hit. Unidentified ship that was much more powerful than the Normandy. Gave the evac code and sent them into escape pods. They didn't all make it. That stubborn excuse for a pilot was determined to go down with the ship and, apparently, so was Kaidan. I had to order him into an escape pod. You can see the drawbacks of fraternization, not that I didn't want him on board anyway.
The ship is more or less shredded as I make my way to the cockpit. I had to argue with that motherfucker to get him to leave. Result? I managed to get him into an escape pod and hit the button to close it while another shot from the mystery ship sent me spiraling into space. Even while heading toward Alchera's atmosphere with a hole in my suit leaking oxygen I managed to think I really wanted to knock Joker in the face, brittle bones or no. Then it all went black.
I was surprised when I woke up in excruciating pain. I heard voices and then it all went black again. Next time I woke up it was to a voice telling me to get up and move. I wasn't sure what had happened. Did somebody rescue me in space? Was it all some strange dream and never happened at all? Yes, I was in pain, and the voice said something about my scars not being healed. The thought of hitting Alchera's atmosphere and being alive was something that didn't parse.
I found my armor and a pistol in a locker. Nice N7 armor but couldn't have been my own. The pistol was one of those God damned new ones using the thermal clips. It was useless until I found some. Why even bother putting the pistol there if I couldn't use it? Anyway, explosions, LOKI mechs and assorted craziness abounded. Then I found some biotic shooting mechs from one side of the catwalk to another. Why even bother? Just walk through the damn door and leave them behind. Jacob was his name. Once we wasted time killing the mechs we headed out.
Encountered a guy named Wilson along the way. Recognized his voice from when I was awake for a few moments. Also heard it on some recordings and he sounded greedy. Automatic distrust. He was a doctor but somehow messing with security stuff. I doubted he had the clearance to be able to access any of that. But whatever. He was injured and we needed help against the mechs. Fine and dandy and then we headed to the shuttle to leave what turned out to be a fast "sinking" space station.
When we opened the door there was a very... shapely woman who shot Wilson dead. It was her voice that had been guiding me, at least until I lost her. I also assumed he deserved to die. Of course, given that Jacob told me they were with Cerberus I didn't trust any of them. The only difference is that Jacob and Miranda had an interest in seeing me alive.
We left, Miranda asked me some questions while Jacob acted the idiot in saying they weren't necessary even though - as I found out - I'd been in a coma for two years! Of course she wanted to test my mental faculties. Jacob seemed like a nice guy but he's an idiot. This chick seemed to have done some work on me and was an actual doctor so one of them knew her shit.
We get to some other space station and I'm supposed to meet "the Illusive Man". I'd vaguely heard his name in connection with Cerberus but didn't know much about him. We'd thought maybe we'd taken Cerberus down after they killed my squad on Akuze using a thresher maw, killed another marine squad in the same way and then killed Admiral Kahoku, whose men it was Cerberus killed. If I'd had my way, I'd have shot TIM in the face but he knew better than to actually be in my presence. Instead, he used a holographic projector to have out conversation.
Here's what I learned: Something had been abducting human colonies. Cerberus arrived too late at one colony but had their suspicions as to what was behind it. He heard something suggesting the colony of Freedom's Progress was under attack and he wanted me to get there ASAP. Though I still had no trust for TIM I had to admit that stopping whatever was taking the colonists was a priority. So, off I went with Miranda and Jacob.

Instead of immediately doing Legion's loyalty mission after activating him, I decided to take him shopping. He threw lots of shade at organics in general and quarians in particular. Most other people failed to notice that I had a geth with me. The woman at the Citadel transit desk told me to leave my synthetic personal assistant at home next time. ( How did Cerberus manage the coup with such airtight security protocols in place?? ) When I talked to Wrex, or anyone on Illium or Omega, Legion disappeared for the entire cutscene. It's sad. I was looking forward to Wrex saying something wacky. Anderson noticed him, but I think at this point he's through with being surprised at anything Shepard does. Missed opportunities, man. Missed opportunities.

After a few days off, I picked up Shawna Shepard again and started the slog through the not-so-fun parts of early Mass Effect 3: 1. walking around the Citadel 2. eavesdropping on the Citadel 3. talking on the Citadel 4. scanning 5. more Citadel
Then finally with all that out of the way, Shawna took her Javelin to a Cerberus Lab and exterminated all the Cerberus-clad rats.
Then it was off to Grissom Academy where she took out more Cerberus mooks. I even managed a few single-shot double kills. Those were satisfying.
I cannot remember the choices I originally made in the trilogy with Shawna, but apparently Jack and the Normandy crew died during the ME2 suicide mission (Prangley was in charge at Grissom, and I did not have the option to pardon and recruit Ken and Gabby). Chakwas and Kasumi lived, though.
And Ashley became a Spectre, an obvious political appointment by Udina.

More Shawna Shepard: 1. Met with diplomats. Wreav was representing the Krogan. Apparently Wrex ate a bullet (or five) on Virmire. The diplomats made a deal: the Krogan would help the Turians in exchange for a genophage cure. Also, fertile female Krogans were being treated on Sur'Kesh. Who knew?
2. Apparently Mordin knew (he is alive, but not for long) and he was Wreav's inside source. Cerberus attacked, which gave Shawna lots of target practice with her Javelin.
3. Then it was off to Tuchanka to go investigate what Cerberus was doing with a ancient krogan ground-to-space cannon. More target practice. Shawna even ran out of thermal clips at one point, but there were plenty lying around in boxes.
4. Went to go investigate why some Krogan scouts went missing. Met Grunt, found Reaper-enhanced Rachni. Discovered Reaper-bred queen. Left the queen and Grunt to die. Grunt survived, the plucky bastard.
5. Cerberus was abducting and attacking people on Benning. Cerberus stopped their activity shortly after Shawna arrived, probably because she killed them all.
6. Went to go cure the genophage. The Dalatrass called and offered a better solution. Managed to take down a Reaper Destroyer with some help from Turian pilots and the Mother of all Thresher Maws. Eve died due to complications, and with Wreav in charge, Shawna was able to convince Mordin to only make the Krogan believe they cured the genophage. Whew!
7. One nightmare later (can you call it a nightmare if a bratty kid gets what he deserves?), it was back to the Citadel. Only this time, Shawna arrived in the middle of a hostile Cerberus takeover. Shawna made short work of that attempt, and even managed to kill traitorous Udina in the process. Ashley survived the encounter.

After the attempted coup, Shawna Shepard spent some time on the Citadel. (Way too much time; gosh that was a slog.) Invited Ashley back to the Normandy so she could become part of Team Javelin (Shepard, Garrus, and Ashley). Then it was time to scan the galaxy... then back to the Citadel for more stuff.
Then finally some fun stuff: going to a monastery to kill some Reapers. Unfortunately the fun was short lived as everyone died quickly. No survivors. ("But I am not going to turn into one of them" she said. "I'm not taking any chances" I said.) For the record, no Samara, so that means she either died on the Suicide Mission or she was never recruited.
Back to the Citadel because some of the squad wanted to spend some down time with Shepard. Shawna hated every second of it. She beat Garrus in a sniping contest, at least.
Then it was off to Noveria to a take a fighter base off of Cerberus's hands. They were reluctant to part with it, but Team Javelin can be very persuasive.

I started ME3 with Jack Shepard, infiltrator. This is my first time through ME3 having rescued David Archer in the previous game (didn't have the DLC for previous playthroughs). Seeing him at the academy was a very emotional scene.
After extracting Victus from Menae and rescuing the biotic students, Shepard returned to the Citadel to visit Kaidan and meet up with Miranda. He made it clear that Miranda was still an important part of his life.
It was a nice reunion scene. I hope Miranda's romance is better than Ashley's.

I hope Miranda's romance is better than Ashley's. It doesn't have a lot of content, just because Miranda doesn't have a lot, but imo it is better. Then again, I don't like Ashley much. Citadel DLC helps a lot.
