I got quite a bit done. Biotic Team2 getting the work done! All powerful Matriarch vs a L3 human biotic. Shouldn't have pissed Shepard off by throwing the boyfriend. Size matters not! Size matters not??

When I played ME2, I decided to have Tali use the vent. It's the first time I did that. All the other times it was Kasumi or someone else. Anyways. I'm currently on the geth dreadnought. Because Tali was in the vent on the collector base, she and Shepard will mention that.

I have been using the Harrier but just changed to the Mattock as I enjoyed it in ME2. Is the Harrier better than the Mattock haven't had a chance to use the Mattock yet? Mattock is fine. It's perfectly serviceable, and definitely better than the Avenger. It doesn't feel like the beast it was in ME2; but I'm not focused on weapons. If I were shooting more, maybe I'd feel differently. The Harrier is way better. It's not even close, in my opinion. Those stat pages can be close to useless, good only for getting the general idea of a weapon. (Maybe because ME3 had a lot of post-launch rebalancing thanks to MP. With the rebalancing lost, maybe the stat pages are useful?) That being the case, I've never compared the two. In usage, the Harrier feels far superior. I'm certain someone has done actual research. RedCaesar97 probably saved it for us, and it's just waiting for me to look for it in the Mechanics & Modding subforum. EDIT: I just remembered this post. Assuming all these numbers are still good, the Google doc shows the disparity. bsn.boards.net/thread/19211/legendary-edition-weapon-stats-effectThanks for the link, had a look and from what I can see you are right the Harrier is better but I just looked at the DPS per Clip, way too much info. for my brain at this time of the morning. The main thing for that I like about the Harrier is that it is full auto rather than the Harrrier semi-auto, saves my fingers some grief.

How'd you get that line? *** So this is something that I keep hoping is not true and maybe BioWare fixed it with the LE. But no....or at least this is inconsistent...you pretty much have to go through and ask all the investigate options with the crew in that first little cutscene window...which is weird. And also sigh worthy. Just another minor annoyance about this game. -Finished Omega. -Was a bit worried there for a second since no paraagon charm thing popped up but then I forgot she spares him all on her own if she is paragon enough. -Of course though I love playing with the whole good cop bad cop angle there because I just love going all 'renegade interrupt' on him afterwards and put the fear of god into him, but not doing the second one. I always play Abigail as the idea of controlled and balanced fury. She rarely gets actively and actually mad anymore but given her reputation if she can pretend to be mad it can give her a leg up on things. -So don't know if this was me being stupid because it occured to me creating her armor in ME 2 but now she has armor that looks actively black instead of more grey: kkkk -Speaking of Grissom Accademy don't know what it is about the mission its fun its amazing in its set up but man its probably the most difficult mission in the entire series. -And picked up Javik. Yeah it'll be interesting to cover him in the logs.

It took a lucky shot the third time with the Mech to kill.

My ems was about 3500 when I did From Ashes after the coup. I don't know what the cut off is for him to say that line. Unfortunately the player misses out on having him early in the game.

From the journal of Mark Shepard: So I cured a plague today. Add that to the list of things I never thought I would do. Mordin is quite a character. He is already busy working on finding a countermeasure for the Seeker Swarms, as well as other projects. He jabbed me with something and now I have a rash. He says it's normal, but did tell me to come see him if I started to experience explosive diarrhea.
It happened again. A couple of days ago, I raced through Mordin's recruitment mission with the same character (essentially) no problem; maybe one death? Today: I died several times, and of course I was recording it this time. I just do not understand sometimes why that happens sometimes, where I will just do good or bad depending on the day. I may take another stab at it later tonight or maybe tomorrow, to try and do it more consistently.

A heartbeat passes

Post by Element Zero on Jun 23, 2021 2:50:59 GMT
I've been playing a lot, lately, and others' posts are reminding me of comments I never never got around to expressing.
I started today's gameplay saving Cerberus defectors on Gellix, and saving Samara and her daughter Rila at a Reaper infested monastery. Then, I revisited the Citadel. I met up with crew from SR2's past and present, and unlocked Marksman for future Shepards.
I then decided I could wait for the Lancer no longer, and completed the Clone War. I told Joker I would "think about a party", delaying until my full crew is available.
I then resumed my normal progression by joining Aria to evict Cerberus from Omega. I arrived Level 55, and departed Level 60. Omega is always a highlight for me. It has some of the best visuals in the game. It has a ton of fun combat encounters. The VAs' work is good and Aria and Nyreen both have fun skills. I wish Nyreen, at least, could've been recruited to Normandy. What an addition she would've been. Incinerate+Overload+Typhoon+other stuff!?!
Having the Lancer increases my enjoyment 100%. I already love ME, so that is saying something. I f@#$@## love this gun. 😆 Switching from Mattock V to Lancer I was a huge upgrade. Once I got back to Normandy and improved to Lancer V, Shepard's apotheosis was complete. It's a shame I can no longer begin a new game with it; but I will henceforth do the silly clone war ASAP to acquire it for most Shepards.
I miss having the former-DLC weapons and armor at the beginning of the game. They are way over priced in the LE. They aren't game-changing enough to justify their ludicrous prices. I buy the one or two I really want and have to pass on the rest. It doesn't harm the experience, really, but I do feel vaguely cheated. I thought about it on Omega. I'd usually have the Hurricane (and maybe the Wraith) equipped on Aria. This time, I settled for the Locust and Evicerator. It got me thinking about how my squaddies used to rock Hurricanes and Typhoons on Mars.
I've noticed an increase in weird combat bugs in ME2&3. A few days ago, I had to replay the Grissom Academy atrium 4 times because of dudes surviving the students' throwing them on the roof. That's always been an issue, but it's happening everywhere, now. I have enemies lying around injured after every fight. On the one hand, it's kinda cool, or at least vaguely realistic. On the other, enemies surviving physics that should kill them outright means way more dudes falling into terrain. It can be a pain if you don't have access to a power like Singularity. I played the OT on Xbox360 and almost never experienced bugs. I'm not sure if these current ones are new to LE, or old hat for PC players.
Tomorrow, we go to see the Quarians on the far edge of the galaxy. It seems like every time I visit the Quarians, it's along the edges of the galaxy. I'll take Ashley and her Squad Disruptor Ammo to the dreadnought. She doesn't see much combat, so I'll work her in there. She likes shooting Geth, but will probably complain about Shepard having Geth friends.
She's been less annoying than I remembered; but I vaguely recall thinking that every time. I think the merde will hit le ventilateur at some point. To this point, I've selected dialogue options that have resulted in less annoying results. Her VA is really good. I still miss Kaidan, and will enjoy his return next time.

Finished ME1 for the third time. Good thing MELE has turned it into my favorite game in the series. Raided Saren's base, and took out an indoctrinated Asari mad scientist. So nice of Saren to turn the Council Chambers into a skeet shooting range. Pull!!! Stopped Saren and Sovereign. Benezia's death must have affected Liara more then she lets on. She was very vocal about how sacrificing the Council was the best choice, and was the one to cap Saren. I never took Kaidan and Liara on the final mission before. This might be my new "canon", it inadvertently foreshadows her character "growth" in ME2. Imported to ME2 and picked Barrier for RP reasons. Shepard is now a biotic in cutscenes. I first noticed this in ME1, glad it works in ME2 as well. I loved playing adept in ME1. Hopefully that continues in ME2. I played around with warp "bombs" in the prologue which was awesome.

Biotics only improve from here. They're fun in ME2, but even better in ME3. A few combos are available in ME2. In ME3, combos become the primary way for caster-classes to deal damage. For instance, an Adept can finally "kill without firing a shot" in ME3, as was advertised from ME1. Of course, no one is left out. Everyone has ways to create fun explosions. Even Soldiers can spray fiery, exploding death with their guns. I think it's one of the reasons ME3 combat really appealed to so many.

Anyone else think of the statues on Ilos when fighting the Adjutants on Omega?
The "blueprint" for Adjutants came from the Collector Base, so it makes sense they'd be Reaper troops from an earlier cycle.
In-setting logic aside, they look like a designer said, "What would a reaper monster look like with these creepy statues as a starting point?"

Cassandra and crew fought on a Collector Ship, where she magically learned to use an assault rifle We then murdered an Ardat-Yakshi for... being an Ardat-Yakshi. Yikes. Also: Cross your legs, Shepard, geez, you're wearing a dress

Finished my first run of the MELE trilogy last night … it was a fun ride.
With 17 unique Shepard runs remaining, MELE should keep me amused at least until the next DA and possibly until the next ME.
Edit add: Checked Origin, it says I played 146 hours on my first run … some time in CC, some time in Armax "testing" stuff …
Still, that's a lot of playtime for a single pass through all three games.
Not exactly what I'd consider speed runs.

Not exactly what I'd consider speed runs. The fastest I've completed the trilogy was around 14 hours on the ps3. The longest it took to completed the trilogy, no known data is available. With the remaster, it's taken longer than usual because there are missions that I haven't done in a long time. Photo mode adds to the time as well.

Today Shepard freed some miners from enthrallment, saved dr. Ann Bryson and found the Leviathan. Later she found the truth about Sanctuary, convinded Henry Lawson to released Oriana and he was then killed by Miranda.

Not much to report. -Recruited all of the merc gangs into the Alliance against the Reapers (sic?) -My favorite of all of them had to be the whole thing with the Eclipse. 'I see Aria's indentured servant has come to free me'. Abigail 'bitch I'm going to have your second in command murder yo ass.' I do actually also find it quite delightful that Bailey went along with this. Covers for Shepard assassinating corrupt politicians and now this... -Did Surkesh with the A team of Shepard's boys James and Garrus. -I thought you could talk to Padok WIks somewhere in the base but I didn't find him. -Oh something to keep in mind that the game automatically dresses you in the dress uniform before talking to the dalatras. I would've done it anyways so its nice I don't have to. -Didn't find the Yagh terminal which even if I don't in the canon playthrough I am going to make it so Shepard does find it given how important it is to my later fic. -I might have done this before but recent conversations I let Wrex know that Abigail is rather annoyed at him for doing this, she understands but they are wasting time. -I did however love their non verbal nods of acknowledgement when they saw one another. -In other news been working on a Mass Effect version of 'Toss a Coin to your Witcher' in my head. Edit: I did also realize that I forgot something I did. Talked to EDI about whether or not she should pursue a relationship with Jeff and 1. Abby, like she usually does tells her to pursue it...and well that is more or less it. Just that I made an offhand remark about it to the wife and then she said something back and it did get me thinking that given Abby's experiences with Kaidan and belief in regulation this could be OOC...but then I am also setting up kind of a slow burn chiselling away on changing that perspective as she develops feelings for James, and this conversation, this very small scene, actually is perfect fodder from a pure RP perspective for that very reason. Because despite being out of her depth, despite believing that one shouldn't mingle because of the risk of pain right now...she still is rooting for EDI and Jeff to succeed.

It got me thinking about how my squaddies used to rock Hurricanes and Typhoons on Mars. I am going to slightly disagree that the guns are game changing. If you are playing more as a caster and killing everything with powers and power combos, then the guns will not do much. If you are focusing more on gunplay, then having the DLC weapons to start is an absolute game changer. I mean generally, your options are now essentially Mantis without much spare ammo, or "I could probably do more damage if I threw this weapon instead". And yes, the the prices in the Spectre terminal are absolutely ludicrous. But you can buy some (good to great) weapons from other shops for 10,000 credits or less. It is freaking ridiculous. How good is the Valiant in single player? I will probably never know unless I start NG++ with a character because there is no way I am buying it on a first playthrough, and I would probably be buying it later on a second playthrough after I upgraded everything else first.

I will probably never know unless I start NG++ with a character because there is no way I am buying it on a first playthrough, and I would probably be buying it later on a second playthrough after I upgraded everything else first. It's true that good weapons completely change the game. This is true not only in effect, but in enjoyment of the game. I paid my 150k credits when I wanted the Harrier. It's crazy that I am asked to pay so much, though, when the Lancer can be had for free shortly after Priority: Citadel. I don't think the over-priced DLC weapons are game-changing in the sense that Hurricane is not 7 times better than the Punisher, nor is the Valiant 25 times better than the Indra. The price disparities are absurd, as you noted. I'd lower the high prices, rather than raise the lower prices. I don't see much value in making a player pay a small fortune for their preferred weapon in a single-player game. We're playing a super-soldier saving the galaxy. It shouldn't be tough to lay hands on the right tools. Maybe they should have let us carry that 1M credit bonus from ME1 into ME2, instead of patching it; and then let us import all our ME2 cash into ME3. That would help with the absurd expenses.

colfoley, there's certainly an argument for that. If not all of them from the beginning, at least a better selection. Because "video games", we always start with the most shit weapons in the setting, no matter the setting, no matter being on the most advanced war ship in the military. That's just VG law. 😉 I think it would be cool if our armory expanded at a logical story point. In ME3, maybe we have a limited starting armory after fleeing Earth in a recently dry-docked Normandy. Once we reach the Citadel, though, the Alliance assortment is added to our armory. All we need is a digital plan, right? It seems logical that we print or build the needed weaponry in the armory via shipboard technology.

I got to play pretty much, today. I completed the Rannoch arc, brokering peace, and completed Thessia. As always, I also did all side content. Every Citadel fetch quest is now complete.
I saved Leviathan for last this time. I usually play it post-Rannoch/pre-Thessia, or even post-Omega & Coup.
I still need to go to the Armax Arsenal Arena and get my final unclaimed MELE trophy, as well as the Cerberus Spirit Armor. I also have not done the party, and I may go ahead and do that this playthrough.
As I close in on the end, I can't help but consider my next Shepard. I already decided against jumping to Andromeda. I'm still too immersed in MELE.
I prefer BroShep, but I'm thinking about a more Renegade, or "Renegon", FemShep. If the Character Creator cooperates with my imagination, I may play another FemShep. I haven't stuck with poor Liara through the trilogy in ages. Maybe this next time.
I'm considering playing her as a Soldier (Damping). Of course, I may just import my Level 29 John Shepard/Sentinel and bring him to 30, and create my baseline Paragon/Sheploo/Kaidan Alive save file. We'll see.

I started playing ME2 as an Infiltrator. I don't remember the last time I played as something other than a Vanguard or Soldier. Also, made a GIF.

Not much to report. -Recruited all of the merc gangs into the Alliance against the Reapers (sic?) -My favorite of all of them had to be the whole thing with the Eclipse. 'I see Aria's indentured servant has come to free me'. Abigail 'bitch I'm going to have your second in command murder yo ass.' I do actually also find it quite delightful that Bailey went along with this. Covers for Shepard assassinating corrupt politicians and now this... -Did Surkesh with the A team of Shepard's boys James and Garrus. -I thought you could talk to Padok WIks somewhere in the base but I didn't find him. -Oh something to keep in mind that the game automatically dresses you in the dress uniform before talking to the dalatras. I would've done it anyways so its nice I don't have to. -Didn't find the Yagh terminal which even if I don't in the canon playthrough I am going to make it so Shepard does find it given how important it is to my later fic. -I might have done this before but recent conversations I let Wrex know that Abigail is rather annoyed at him for doing this, she understands but they are wasting time. -I did however love their non verbal nods of acknowledgement when they saw one another. -In other news been working on a Mass Effect version of 'Toss a Coin to your Witcher' in my head. Edit: I did also realize that I forgot something I did. Talked to EDI about whether or not she should pursue a relationship with Jeff and 1. Abby, like she usually does tells her to pursue it...and well that is more or less it. Just that I made an offhand remark about it to the wife and then she said something back and it did get me thinking that given Abby's experiences with Kaidan and belief in regulation this could be OOC...but then I am also setting up kind of a slow burn chiselling away on changing that perspective as she develops feelings for James, and this conversation, this very small scene, actually is perfect fodder from a pure RP perspective for that very reason. Because despite being out of her depth, despite believing that one shouldn't mingle because of the risk of pain right now...she still is rooting for EDI and Jeff to succeed. Paddok Wiks is hard to see as he is crouching next to a black terminal near the elevator wearing black armour. Pure chance I stumbled across him yesterday. I had the now becoming very annoying issue of Cerberus Troops getting stuck inside stuff or in a place you can't shoot them this time on Surkesh twice yesterday. Have started spamming F5 all the time I can.
