Haha. I had Cerberus troops get stuck all the time, or in most cases get stuck laying on the ground. Grunting and moaning, kinda wish there "taking damage" sounds were more amusing. Reminded me of those Blue Suns guys from ME2. LOL. ROFL The sounds of a never-ending orgasm

-Accidentally did the right order of conversations where Garrus was wondering about his scars attracting Eve and then Mordin trying to arrange the marriage. - Did the Rachnai mission with our little Tank Baby back to the rescue. Or rather Shepard to the rescue as it turned out. -Man were they really trying to sell you on it being Grunt's last stand. Of course this makes me wonder if players would have chosen Grunt over the Rachni if it WAS Grunt's last stand. Like mandated loose them or loose the Rachni. -Of course you do lose Arlakh Company which I believe the Rachni are more valuable in the war assets camp but still face you know vs faceless mooks you don't. -And well Abby does not like comitting genocide as a general rule so there is that. -I will say that planet also has a lot of very intense combat sequences in the game though I don't think I died but gives a real final stand feel... -Did Benning, again got lost finding the dog tags for Osaba's son. But I did it.
Still trying to keep an open mind and give the RP the benefit of the doubt in 3. Afterall with ME 1 and playing through the LE discovered the LE was far more...restrictive and annoying then I even gave it credit for so it was a lesser experience just wondering if the ME 3 one would become better...I have a theory and wondering if it will bare fruit. Still the endless reams of auto dialogue aren't doing it any favors and well no 'middle' option either...still its two biggest problems.

Today Shepard visited her new apartment in the Citadel, had to deal with her own clone, arrested Maya Brooks, had some fun with her friends and threw one hell of a party.

Those are the armors won at Armax Arsenal Arena. They are statistically superior to any other armors in terms of total percentage points. Cerberus Spirit is great for power users. Nightmare is great for weapon users. Shade is too generalized for my taste. Opinion: You can get slightly inferior versions of these armors much earlier in the game if you spend the credits in stores. For example, Spirit Armor is essentially Inferno Armor but with a couple extra +10% stat boosts. However, you are still better off not using any of the full armor sets and should focus on the mix-and-match sets to focus on increasing one specific stat, either weapon damage or power damage. You can even just go with what looks good (full armor or mix-and-match) and you will still do just fine. I was not worrying initially and just using the Defender Armour as I like using the Alliance gear rather than Cerberus gear. However I edited the Nightmare Suit into the game yesterday and hated the Cerberus colours but had a look on NMM and there was a mod that changes it to be more alliance coloured, blue and grey. In short I just can't be bothered fiddling with all the pieces each time I find a new piece TBH, the game is mildly challenging me in combat ATM on Normal so no real need to be getting into the detail of it all. Next run through MELE I will challenge myself a bit more and try it on Hard and will then need all the advice i can get.

So added via the save editor the Cerberus Nightmare armour and used a mod to change the colours from Cerberus to the Allinace. KrrKs To add the new texture to the armour I had to revert to my backed up original save of the Coalesced file as the mod required the original. I had a mod previously that had changed to Coalesced file so that you could scan as many times as you want on the galaxy map and the reaper awareness would activate but they'd never arrive. Would I be able to reinstall the Reaper mod Coalesced change after installing this texture mod do you know? Sorry can't remember anyone else that mods but if someone does and understands this stuff more than I do feel free to answer. This is the mod I want to add back: www.nexusmods.com/masseffectlegendaryedition/mods/141Nightmare new look

I completed a very satisfying trilogy run today. John Shepard, Spacer/War Hero/Sentinel saved the galaxy by destroying the Reapers. Miranda was no doubt there to find him after the battle. My first MELE run was tainted by trophy chasing, so it felt extra good to enjoy every moment this time. I also enjoyed Ashley. I managed the conversations in a way that kept things friendly. Her drunk scene didn't bug me much. I always enjoy her VA. I also enjoyed her combat skills. She is made to destroy Cerberus troops with that Disruptor Ammo, Inferno Grenades and Concussive Shot. Tech and Fire detonations abound! I stopped by Armax Arsenal after completing Leviathan. I grabbed enough points to buy Mirror Match after 3 wins. I then got my final platinum trophy and my Cerberus Spirit armor by defeating the swarms of Shepards in the mirror match. Shepard should be glad he doesn't regularly face aggressive, capable foes like that. It took me three tries to win it. The first I got greedy and wreckless on the final wave. The second I got charged and nova'd from the front and shot in the back. The third time I stomped those fools. I haven't decided what I'll do for my next playthrough. I may import level 29 John and start him in another run. This time, I'll save Kaidan and maybe stick with Liara throughout. I like having a variety of world-states for my imports. By the end of ME3, I was itching to play a ME3 Soldier. I'm not sure if I'll start a new Shepard for that (likely an Engineer w/ARs) or just get John into ME2 and switch to Soldier then. We'll see. I'm tempted to just play ME3 again with John as a Soldier, teaming up with Ash to fire & tech wreck everyone. EDIT: I noticed that they ditched the shiny orange mask on the Cerberus Spirit Armor. The black looks cool, so no biggie. In fact, since they used that black masked look from ME3MP, I wonder why they couldn't just use the entire N7 skin? I know, I sound like a broken record. dazk, you may as well jump up to Insanity. The only differences you'll really notice are that grenades will kill you dead, and so will strolling past turrets. Avoid wreckless actions, and you're fine. Insanity isn't that tough. You'll get used to it pretty quickly.

I'll think about it re Insanity but have been a bit off my game the last couple of days. My biggest problem is Shepard getting stuck on edges of stuff.

Had the evening to myself, so I got to play quite a bit and continue Mara-Jean "MJ" Shepard's adventures. Started the day with MJ helping Kasumi and getting a new gun. Next MJ used her new gun while "rescuing' Jack. Followed that up with MJ adopting an adolescent Krogan. Ended the day with Kaidan calling MJ a traitor, and stomping on her heart. Kaidan feels so out of character in that moment. In ME1 he is always the calm, and reasonable one on the squad. I have trouble buying that he wouldn't listen to Shepard. Ashley fits Horizon so much better, even romanced she is fiery and often challenges Shepard in ME1. If there was an interesting human male love interest in ME2, I would try it. But Jacob is the worst, and it is cringe inducing how Femshep flirts with him if you aren't careful in your dialog choices. I am tempted to have MJ romance Liara going forward instead. I know you can't really start a romance until ME3 if you turned her down in ME1. But I could see it starting to turn that way in ME2 given the romantic undertones in the Shadow Broker DLC even if Liara is just friends with Shepard. It would also help resolve my issues in ME3 with Liara referring to Shepard as a friend if continuing a romance from ME1. Do the ME2 side quests affect war assets in ME3? I plan on doing all LMs, & DLCs(even firewalker), but I am not looking forward to all the planetary side quests.

That became my head canon as well after playing the original ME3 with the Miranda Mod. Seeing her fighter in the Normandy cargo hold reminded me that she is out shooting down drones, while Shepard is doing his/her thing on the Citadel.

Would I be able to reinstall the Reaper mod Coalesced change after installing this texture mod do you know? Sorry can't remember anyone else that mods but if someone does and understands this stuff more than I do feel free to answer. Sorry, I don't even have the LE (yet) and know nothing about modding it - except that the current coalesced mods are notorious for breaking with every update. The full modding tools are apparently almost ready, so that's something to look forward to. This will make the existing coalesced mods pretty much obsolete. As for your actual question - I guess you could reinstall that mod. Texture mods shouldn't affect the coalesced - i'm not even sure if MEM allows such a change. But I'm really not sure on that part. You could try and recreate what that mod did, though - there is a post in there listing the changes: *snip - Did the Rachnai mission with our little Tank Baby back to the rescue. Or rather Shepard to the rescue as it turned out. -Man were they really trying to sell you on it being Grunt's last stand. Of course this makes me wonder if players would have chosen Grunt over the Rachni if it WAS Grunt's last stand. Like mandated loose them or loose the Rachni. -Of course you do lose Arlakh Company which I believe the Rachni are more valuable in the war assets camp but still face you know vs faceless mooks you don't. -And well Abby does not like comitting genocide as a general rule so there is that. -I will say that planet also has a lot of very intense combat sequences in the game though I don't think I died but gives a real final stand feel...
Having Urdnot Dagg there instead of Grunt really shows what a fearsome fighter Grunt is meant to be. Dagg goes down from the third Rachni, while Grunt just smashes the bug into pieces. Coincidentally I also just did that mission, with pretty much the same outcome

Coincidentally I also just did that mission, with pretty much the same outcome I don't think I ever noticed till now that Grunt was beating on the Rachni with its own main gun. Ah the wonders of a 4K remaster. *** Well this is a bit of an interesting rabbit hole I am about to go down but given the amount of hub bub that has been made on this I figured it might be worth it to report my findings given A. the amount of discussion and B. Well I think there are still others who have yet to play ME 3 that will find the results interesting. I know there are like 3 of us who have gone through the trilogy at this point. So...I was able to purchase the Valiant. And probably more importantly get it up to level 5 last night. I am still before Priority Tuchanka, only about 15 hours into the game out of a game that should push about 40. This has been when I have been making a few purchases (mainly getting the Valk up to level 6) plus the occasional oopsie discretional purchase and the occasional weapons purchase (also bought the Geth SMG last night). And well yeah. Still agree that the price may be a tad much but its certainly not undoable and even this early in the game should probably be able to buy most of my wish list too for my actual *canon* run with my actual armory intact. Hell I may not even have to do any extra runs with the Armax Arena either. And the Valiant itself. Seem to remember it firing a lot faster back in the day but I must say its still a great weapon. Viper is lighter but does way less damage and right now Abby is running at a + 35 % power bonus. The only real issue is that Abigail sometimes is a little bit of a hard charger and the Valk is a descent enough battle rifle on its own/ DMR. Would never fit a scope on it mind you, which would make it weird, but sometimes despite dropping 2.5 million credits on it it is just tempting to go to a AR/ side arm configuration. -Started off by doing another wave of war asset collection across the Galaxy. And well that is where I ended to. -Did the two bomb missions back to back on Tuchanka first taking out Garrus/ James, then Garrus/ Javik. -Always love the hot landing in the second mission though it seems like those explosions don't hurt you...any more? -I am experimenting with different armor configuarations this time around to see if any of them may work/ look better. I just like the look of the standard N7 gar and the different armors never been that important...still something that's never bothered me. As such now wearing Hahne-Kadir (sp?) pants. -Did the Cerberus invasion mission on Tuchanka one that does not make much sense lore wise considering...what are the canons shooting at? There is no mention of any major military assets in orbit, certainly not Krogan ones. And well another Cerberus Cruiser. Still I watched the actual thing explode instead of it being on the monitor. -Now back to the Citadel to turn in more assets.

I'm almost finished with my fic too actually. my pleasure, Colonel. So unless you have any objections...what I will do is copy/paste the text directly from my WORD document into a PM text box...change the font colour and size so it is easy to read and then edit for paragraph breaks so that it doesn't appear as a GIANTWALLOFTEXT..... And along the way, as I do a lot of editing....I ofred read and re-read the same paragraphs making little changes here and there for coherency and consistency....so when I do that, will always send a specific paragraph block (for context) and then in a third colour that stands out I will draw attention to specific changes. Does that work for you?

As for your actual question - I guess you could reinstall that mod. Texture mods shouldn't affect the coalesced - i'm not even sure if MEM allows such a change. But I'm really not sure on that part. You could try and recreate what that mod did, though - there is a post in there listing the changes: *snip - Did the Rachnai mission with our little Tank Baby back to the rescue. Or rather Shepard to the rescue as it turned out. -Man were they really trying to sell you on it being Grunt's last stand. Of course this makes me wonder if players would have chosen Grunt over the Rachni if it WAS Grunt's last stand. Like mandated loose them or loose the Rachni. -Of course you do lose Arlakh Company which I believe the Rachni are more valuable in the war assets camp but still face you know vs faceless mooks you don't. -And well Abby does not like comitting genocide as a general rule so there is that. -I will say that planet also has a lot of very intense combat sequences in the game though I don't think I died but gives a real final stand feel...
Having Urdnot Dagg there instead of Grunt really shows what a fearsome fighter Grunt is meant to be. Dagg goes down from the third Rachni, while Grunt just smashes the bug into pieces. Coincidentally I also just did that mission, with pretty much the same outcome Thanks I'll have another look at the MOD page, pretty sure I read all of it but I may have missed that bit. He did say at one point you could MOD away after doing his chaange but the other MOD I want to install says it changes the Coalesced file so..... Might just put up with the damn Reapers chasing me. But thanks again for the reply.

Haven`t done much today: had a "drink" with Kaidan, launched an assault on Chronos station, killed the annoying Kai Leng (the renegate option that all my Shepards took and always will), asked the prothean vi about the catalyst and talked with the crew back at the Normandy.

I started a new FemShep tonight, but can't decide whether I'll stick with it or not.
I chose: Earthborn / War Hero / Infiltrator (hacking)
I intend to ignore weapon training entirely. I'll have every tech skill but Medicine, along with Medium Armor and Assault Training. I will invest just enough points into Charm/Intimidate to benefit from the Qi'in exploit.
If I wish, Sniper Rifles will be there later in the game. Tossing a few points that way for Assassination would be fine, once I'm happy with the rest of my build.
I mostly want to have a different world state than with my first FemShep. I'm thinking No Wrex (or dead Wrex), Save Ash, Focus on Sovereign.
I haven't sabotaged the genophage in a long time, but it's what any sensible person actually living in the setting would likely do. Even with Wrex, you're one old Krogan from reliving the Rebellions with a disastrous outcome. They won't fall for the genophage solution a second time.
Anyway, I'm just looking to mix things up. I'm not sure I feel like starting from the beginning again. I miss being able to use a save editor to craft a world state on demand.

Kai Leng is such a disappointment. My last fight with him lasted maybe 20 seconds combined (Insanity, of course), and that's generous. Ashley throws an Inferno Grenade-> Shepard Throw-> Dead Cerberus goons Shepard Overload Kai Leng-> Everyone shoots Kai Leng-> Kai Leng runs like a chump Rinse, repeat. Takes about 5 seconds, three times. Adjust to match Shep and squad. What a chump.

Do the ME2 side quests affect war assets in ME3? I plan on doing all LMs, & DLCs(even firewalker), but I am not looking forward to all the planetary side quests. ME2 sidequests (N7 missions) do not affect war assets in ME3. They have no affect on ME3 at all (even dialogue). That being said, a few sidequests (N7 missions) are worth playing, in my opinion. 1. There is one in the Pylos Nebula (planet Dirada i think?), that will net you a Damage Protection upgrade. Requires start chart from Illium. The mission itself sucks ass, but if you do this after Horizon, it should be your third Damage Protection upgrade, which gets you the Hard Shields upgrade. 2. Shrike Abyssal > planet Zada Ben. Requires start chart from Illium. Mission is fine. Completing it gives you a Heavy Weapon Damage upgrade. 3. There is a Blue Suns sidequest that features three missions: Dig Site > Strontium Mule (freighter) > False Signal. The second mission has a Heavy Weave upgrade. The first planet is the main system where you go to help Jacob. These missions can be fun, but are completely skippable; You can get enough Heavy Weave upgrades from other systems. You only really need to complete three Firewalker missions in my opinion: 1. Rosalie (get the Hammerhead). 2. Research Data (go in the Volcano) 3. Prothean Dig Site. This has a Biotic Damage upgrade. Do not bother shooting at the turrets, just fly around and shoot down the shield pylons.

I finished my 99% Ruthless ME2 playthrough. My plan is to eventually sabotage the Genophage, kinda wish I didn't keep Wrex alive, but without playing ME1 again, that's what I had to work with. Shepard enjoys Morinth flirting with him, so yeah, he is deranged. So I supposed gunning down Mordin and Wrex won't be a big deal for him. Shep handed over the evidence during Tali's trial, Han Gerrel really didn't like that. Oh well, f*** Han Gerrel. LOL. I originally intended to kill off Morinth during the suicide mission, but I also wanted to make a GIF of her frying Shepard's brain. So she survived for there victorious embracing of eternity. Also, played around some with Dominate. Haha. Its been a while since I consulted the suicide mission guide, I wanted to kill off Jacob, Thane, and Legion. It was actually really easy. I also wanted Jack to live, and was glad her only ship death is tied to the armor upgrade.

From the journal of Mark Shepard: I went back to Omega to try to recruit Archangel. We went in with the mercs, killed a few, then met up with him. Archangel turned out to be Garrus! We had to kill the rest of the mercs, but we eventually made it out in one piece. Well, most of us did. Garrus got hit with a rocket, but he survived with some nasty scars. Not that you would notice really.
From there, it was off to Bekenstein to help Kasumi with her heist. The break-in was easy, but Hock was waiting for us and we had to fight our way out. His YMIR mechs were no match for my drone! Neither were some of his heavy troopers... some people are just not that smart. Not sure why they thought shooting the drone with a missile launcher at point-blank range was a good idea. I've seen Vorcha with more brains--no wait, they did that too.
Got Area Overload now along with the Tech Cooldown upgrade. Jack and Grunt recruitment missions coming up next. Mordin is going to be turning a lot of mercs into popsicles.
I am having some issues (ever since launch) in the Legendary Edition in Mass Effect 2, where enemy targeting can be spotty. Namely, sometimes it will take a half-second before the enemy targeting appears. This actually got me killed when I could not target enemies right in front of me. It is an annoyance, just something I will have to learn how to deal with.

I had this weird animation glitch at the end of Thane's loyalty mission. I found a "They Live" meme generator, and had some fun. If anyone hasn't watched that film, basically the main character finds some special glasses that reveal the Aliens that are secretly controlling the world.

Finally I have a few interesting deep dive things to talk about. Did Priority Tuchanka. And I spent pretty much the entire quest in a weird blubbery mess. Also it was a bit of a haze for some reason so I suppose its a good thing I am doing a second PT. Which means there is no sadness about this being my last time because there should be at least one more time. But the main thing is there was some interesting RP moments and an issue I do not know how to rehandle in the PT upcoming. See I am not sure I have gotten a straight answer on this but how many times can you not tell Mordin and co about the genophage cure before you reach the Tower? I know its at least two but could it also be three? And again I stress before the tower since I know it comes out then anyways. Abigail, while sympathetic to the Krogan...after all she does cure them every time...is also a practical enough woman to A. know that the Krogan have ocasionally became brutes and B. that the Salarian resources cannot be dismissed out of hand. There are great positives and negatives on both sides to consider the argument, so it has a fair bit of nuance despite the character of the people is. So as far as I know it is universal that Abby takes the first one to think about it and then commits on the second one. I think this might be universal though maybe there is another option when you get to the trucks after the Kalross attack? Anyways and this is fairly excellent writing too and I think after watching a video on YouTube on the subject to I was paying more attention to the ebbs and flows of dialogue and well its excellently done. So the first choice is given and well nothing really is going on, then you get to the Hollows and Eve just speechifies the hell out of it and the music swells and its one of the best individual moments of the series so Shepard would be like 'yes, yes, of course I'll cure you!' But then you get to the truck and Wrex is talking once more about returing to the glory of ancients and even creating a Krogan empire. Yes way to make it crystal clear...and this is probably bluster but still it cannot be in the back of Shepard's head. So yeah, Abigail still said yes there given everything and it just feels hella disengenious to have Shepard say 'I will!' to Eve's speech (one of JHs best voice deliveries better) and then to go...yeah I'm gonna hold onto that Genophage cure information. Anyways though if there is a third instance of it before the tower I'd love to know because I would prefer it if Abigail made the choice before the Tower in her own mind. Oh and I did get a shot of Abigail in the middle of the explosion during the Shrod trip but then I accidentally closed the photo editor... Point number 2...I'm prbably weird, some people may acuse me of certain things...but pigybacking off of the last conversation about trying different pieces of armor and also thinking about RP overall...I am wondering if Shepard should try trading out her standard N7 chest piece because of...boob armor. And while certainly not the most eggregious example I have heard that such things are impractical as all hell and even dangerous to the wearer so I tried out the Hahne-Kader chest piece and well it draws less attention to the fact but honestly still not sure its very aestetically pleasing (yes I appreciate the irony of what I just said) and well the bonuses from it, the weapons damage, I know I will be getting when I get Shep's visor back after the Citadel coup so leaning back to the standard N7 chest piece. But its so absurd in the back of my head and well Abigail, despite her old prolictivities of her youth, is...someone who prefers function over form. And then to the third point of awesome RPness for this playthrough...the second dream sequence. Well, if you can't beat em join em, and I guess on the other hand it does give the player the chance to RP and deal with stress of war and PTS and other mental issues and the whittling down of one's soul. *sigh*. Anyways though in the vein of trying to give them the benefit of the doubt I remember I always found the blocking of the scene and the set up from the dream a bit ridicilious where Shepard snaps awake, sitting up, and then starts working on something. Except I realized especially with the previous scene with Garrus mentioning Shepard should get some sleep...indicating she hasn't been enough to where it is showing...so it actually makes sense that she would fall asleep while working...maybe it should have had her scramble around to pick up the fallen data pad but I'm more with it. But then Liara shows up and my RP senses were tingling and maybe something I have thought of before because I think I have chosen these two lines with her...but she went 'thinking about old friends' and then 'I will let them rest'. Admitting that she is feeling stressed about things and causing her issues, but not prepared to admit that it is Kaidan specifically...not prepared to voice it even if Liara probably knows. Because Abigail is still guilty from it, still trying to mentally run from Virmire and her decision and not face it emotionally, which is something which came up in my post ME 3 fic and formed the hugest part of her character arc, which then her feelings for James might also complicate this too since I will give her said feelings somewhere in ME 3...even if she cannot act on them and resolve the issue fully until Shards. *breathes a sigh* Also did the Cerberus fighter base to test out how Abby looked in the non boob armor. Thoughts on all this?
