Ahead of MELE I'm doing a focused (critical path only) run of Shepard the renegade space racist. So far: Every grumpy response chosen. Garrus ignored and left on the Citadel. On to Feros. Oh, and no survivors at Zhu's Hope plus shot Shiala. On Noveria, Parasinni got ignored and the Rachni Queen got the acid bath. Fetched Liara who was hallucinating by this time. Shot Wrex, whose body would have been dumped in the swamp if there had been any Salarians left alive to do it. Shot Rana and gave Kaidan more of Saren's forces to handle before leaving him to the nuke. Naturally left the council to die. It's been an interesting day.

Defeated Shepard's clone. On insanity. What a brutal fight. Never reloaded so much in my life. Now I'm just playing around in the Armax Arena.

Ahead of MELE I'm doing a focused (critical path only) run of Shepard the renegade space racist. Really pleased how Mass Effect 2 worked out. Was an ass at every opportunity. Didn't bother with squad loyaly (except Mordin while killing Maelon and destroying the research) Everyone died in the Suicide mission except Shepard and Mordin (needed someone to pull me onto the Normandy. Most of the rest of the crew also dead (melted) as I urgently needed to do Firewalker missions before saving them.

ME1
Have finished Engineer PT. Choices are usual for me. Just some notes about this PT.
After playing Shepard with Immunity was sort of difficult first as always wanted to tank enemies. Could half-tank after getting some level. In the end did not matter - just rammed like an idiot - went fine.
What wanted to change is BP: always take SG as BP and with each class it is a very good choice (not right away, but after getting some levels at least). Decided to take AR. Took for my Engineer Shepard and used it about 7 - 10 times during the whole PT (left some minor missions only, in the end had level 50 +). Was just a waste, just total waste for me. HP ftw, yes, and that's what I used all the time and SG would have fit just fine anyway.
Well, experiment with changing weapons failed. At least with another Shepard - Adept - took SG as BP (had doubts tbh, wanted simply to try as had SG PTs with each class anyway).
That "Engineer-AR-PT" was a lesson for me: "Not to take ARs as I simply do not use it unlike SGs".
ME3
A while back had "Morinth - PT" in ME2. Finally started Morinth-build-PT in ME3. During CC there is no Dominate BP, so took Stasis as it it similar to Dominate - emenies do not attack me. Just started this PT so nothing to add.

They don't need to be loyal iirc, but if you have squadmate you want to keep alive for ME3, it's way easier to do that when they're loyal (Mordin is one of those cases, since he's one of the very firsts on dying-order list).

I'd say the odds are against it... Seems fun It's a different kind of 'fun' and I don't think I'd do it again in a hurry, but it is interesting.

If you haven't already done this before, just wait until you get to the Citadel DLC...

Miranda and Jacob were covering the rear. I went to the reaper with Mordin and Kasumi (Mordin loyal). Kasumi didn't survive the fall. I saw Miranda dead (assumed Jacob was too). Mordin helped me into the Normandy - didn't see Jacob in the final cutscene but he must have made it then. Don't expect this Shepard will bother rescuing the cerberus scientists.

Most of the rest of the crew also dead (melted) as I urgently needed to do Firewalker missions before saving them. Oooh, and Mordin will still bite it while futilely trying to reverse the Genophage in ME3! Nicely done, sir. Too bad there's no way to kill Jacob in that game if he survives the Suicide Mission. I really enjoyed the rescue Cerberus scientists and Grissom Academy missions in 3 without him and Jack last time around. Am vaguely planning out my first trilogy playthrough in MELE for when I get in the mood for it again. My last Shepard was a crass, rough-hewn Earth boy Infiltrator who shamelessly pushed people around but usually made the idealistic Paragon choices when the chips were down. I figure that a kind-hearted, professional and sensitive FemShep who nonetheless tends to make Renegade decisions for the greater good is the logical follow-up. It's been a while since I played that. Probably Colonist background combined with Ruthless reputation and a lot of distrust and resentment for Batarians in general. Less sympathetic for the more inhuman aliens as well, like the Krogan and the Geth. Maybe she'll embrace or at least allow herself to be duped by Cerberus in ME2 to a greater extent than my Sheps usually do, and romance Liara, Kelly and maaaaaybe Thane or Jack before their deaths. Leave Kaiden on Virmire for once if I can stomach the prospect of looking at Ashley in ME3. Made the same resolution last time and it didn't hold though. Kind of waffling between Adept, Vanguard and Sentinel. Worried that Adept will feel too similar to Liara's powerset, and will be annoying on Insanity difficulty with all the shields and armor and barriers, and that Sentinel will just be too straightforward and boring without Lift. Vanguard is always fun, especially if they open up the weapon restrictions. Never could stand using shotguns. Though I'll miss the Omniblade in 3.

Now with my PC up and running on an older SSD, and without issues for the past 8.5 hours, I thought I'd check out how or if the games run. ME 1,2 and 3 run perfectly and look great in 4K with all their OG Settings on MAX...But ANDROMEDA won't run. I get an error message that says MSVCR120.DLL is missing.
Now, that isn't so much of an issue because I had that recently...and someone on here, Rewind I think it was....Or maybe Temporal Vanguard-- anyways, someone on here told me "try running a Steam game first. Steam often uses the same files and shared DLLs as Origin, so if they are missing for some reason, booting up a Steam game or even Steam itself, will more than likely more often than not, replace the missing files." (and when I had this issue earlier, about six weeks ago...I tried that solution and it worked wonders. So there is no reason to believe why it won't work a second time. However, I don't have Steam on this SSD, and I don't have the space required to install both Steam and HZD, so I am going to have to wait on that one. But at least now, I know the solution, which I will do right away once I migrate back to my 1 TB M.2 970 Plus.
So all in all...if an easy fix is my only worry right now....I'm not gonna sweat it. I'll do a fresh and clean install of Windows from my original Installation DVD to my 970 Plus this coming weekend....Get that all up to date and then I'll be right as rain.
Oh, before I forget....I got sidetracked, but while checking out how ME 3 played, I started to round up Aria's goon squad...you know, jumping through the hoops she makes you jump through. The tricky part is getting the Black Market Weapons for that pissant arms dealer, so that Gen. Oraka backs down.

I really enjoyed the rescue Cerberus scientists and Grissom Academy missions in 3 without him and Jack last time around. Yes, he will die in ME3, but only if the side mission is ignored. After Cronos, his name will appear on the memorial wall. The same will happen to Samara, Grunt, Kasumi, Zaeed(his name never appears on the wall. Maybe that will be fixed in the remaster), if those side missions are ignored. I didn't add jack because Shepard ends up killing her on Cronos, if Grissom is ignored.

Too bad there's no way to kill Jacob in that game if he survives the Suicide Mission. In 3, I ignored Traynor. Didn't save the scientists. The confrontation with Mordin was tough, but I sided with the Salarians and tricked Wreav. Eve also died of course. Leng killed the Salarian on the Citadel and I shot Ashley (who I'd ignored since Mars). Admiral Xen helped me on the Geth ship. Didn't bother to save Koris. It'll all going well.

I did one PT years ago when I imported a Save, but I didn't go to Grissom in time....then forgot about it until it was too late. Then I found her as a Cerberus Phantom-- and that broke my heart. . It also scared the piss out of me. I have never done that again. Saving Jack is a MUST for me even if I don't import and just play 3 on its own.

And Mass Effect 3 with Shepard the space racist is done. In London I spoke to the officer who could connect me to past comrades - the conversation was empty as they were all dead. Of my remaining squad (Edi, Liara and James) I took Liara and James to the beam. My EMS was low (1700ish) and they both appeared to be crisped. I went for a Destroy ending (the obvious red renegade choice). Earth is fireballed. No-one is seen leaving the Normandy after it crashes. There is no cutscene in the Normandy afterwards as there is no-one there. Full renegade kill everyone approaches shakespearian tragedy, but the job got done, it's a successful playthrough

So how long does it take SofaJockey ? How much time would you say u cut compared to a palytrhough where u do most side missions ? It looks like it was very fast or maybe you played 10 hours a day ! ?

It was much faster. (And I did have some available time) I'd say each game was around 10 hours (excluding any pauses when I briefly went to do something else).

That is a happy ending. That's something I'm really looking forward to, the new war assets balancing. 'Thanks' to MP I already have more than twice the amount of WA needed when entering the War room for the first time.
I hope they didn't made it too easy obtaining the 'best' endings.
