On Horizon
Shep: we could use those guns
Mechanic: someone would have to calibrate them
Me, thinking; I'm sure GARRUS could do it
Garrus: it'll be easy enough for one of us to do it, just point the way
🤣 Did they plan that?

I am waiting for the IFF to be installed and have just completed Legions LM do I have time to do LoTSB or should I just wait? I only have that and Arrival to do. Element Zero do you know the answer to this question? Not sure. I think LotSB is one mission. If so, you should be okay. I've never tried it, so I waited to see if someone else knew. If you have completed all the desired LMs, and the "better take the shuttle" scene hasn't happened, you should be able to do it without issue. You don't return to Normandy after starting LotSB until it's complete, so you won't get pulled out in the midst of it. I always get the "shuttle scene" after Legion's LM, so you may have the decision made for you. _____ I completed ME2 today, minus Arrival. I vacillated on that one too long and will have to tackle it post-game. No matter how many times I complete the Suicide Mission, it's still super satisfying. I have had a lot of fun this playthrough, and I'm looking forward to continuing into ME3. With LE, I have been playing around with fireteam rosters for different missions. This time, I returned to my preferred combinations in several cases and was reminded why they are the best. Many find the Derelict Reaper with it's swarming enemies to be particularly challenging. It's a cakewalk with the right roster and builds. Shepard Vanguard: Area Reave, Squad Cryo... Samara: Throw Field, Sapiens Justicar, Area Reave Thane: Throw Field, Unstable Warp (heavy is arguably better on this mission), Drell Marksman Having two Area Reaves and two Throw Fields renders all those armored Husks less bothersome. Throw in two squaddies with Tempest SMGs freezing everything, and it's pretty damn easy. Shepards vary, of course, but those two are always good choices. Twelve squadmates was probably too many, but it does have the advantage of providing squaddies for every situation. I do enjoy that part of ME2. In ME1, biotics trump everything. In ME3, everyone is so damn strong that most combinations can stomp the game. ME2 probably hit the sweetspot. I did my classic/standard SM choices: * Tech Expert: Legion * Fire Team Leader: Garrus * Crew Escort: Kasumi * Biotic Shield: Samara * Squadmates: Miranda and Mordin Aside from Kasumi, who wasn't around yet, that's been my go-to lineup since my first PT. I deviate now and then, but that one just feels right to me, after so many runs. _____ Rambling on to ME3... 😉 I am already weighing which skill trees to develop first with my 61 starting points. I'll need to have the descriptions in front of me to be certain, but I'm pretty sure I know how I'll proceed. I'm sticking with Reave as my bonus, and will go ahead and evolve Nova after all. It's my up close grenade, after all. The obnoxious yell will be a constant reminder to not over use it. 😖 I kind of wish we had Ashley this time. I'll miss her explosions and Squad Disruptor. Kaidan is great, though, so Shep will be fine. I may give the Reegar Carbine some use this playthrough, at least for a few missions. As OP as it is, I never loved using it. It's well past time for me to give it another go. Maybe it will become my primary weapon until I get my Lancer. There are few better times to use it than with a Vanguard, I guess. _____ Alright, enough rambling.

Finished remaining dlc. Completed The Overlord dlc, seeing David in his condition was horrifying. This dlc reminded me of the old game System Shock. Completed The Arrival my least favorite dlc. Is their anyway to avoid genocide? Completed the side quest for Miranda's old friend Ish. While on Illium resolved the problem a An Asari was having with a Quarian. Also David's brother Archer and one of the Quarian Admirals share the same voice actor, Simon Templeman. He voice Loghain in Dragon Age Origin's, but before that I knew him as the vampire Kain from the Legacy of Kain games.

ME1LE:- Forgot that if certain quests weren't done before others that they could be lost, so restarted the game. This gave me the opportunity to change Shep's class. He is now a Sentinel. I also adjusted his appearance slightly.
- Anderson told me to go speak with Joker, so wandered around speaking to everyone else first.
- <just realized Shepard salutes Udina when they first meet> It's while he's talking to Anderson and the camera angle makes it difficult to see, but I believe that was a salute.
- Took the Mako out for a spin. <my reaction to the Mako's turret> I've missed you old friend...
- Fought a thresher maw; I missed them too, but I am now looking at bumps in otherwise flat areas with suspicion.
- Visited Luna...

Everything else is just a point sink.

You must activate the project to delay the Reapers; activating the project will destroy the relay which will destroy the system. No matter what options you choose, Kenson will always interrupt your call at the terminal. And technically it is not genocide, since you are not trying to wipe out an entire race; just a colony that happens to be mostly one race. The entire race is mostly in another system, but it does have colonies on other planets in various systems.

From the journal of Mark Shepard: We did it! We went through the Omega-4 Relay, stormed the Collector homeworld (more of a space station really), and put an end to their menace. And everyone made it out alive! Booyah!
It was kind of crazy. While the crew installed the Reaper IFF, I took the team out for a round of drinks on Omega. Well, it started out as a round of drinks, but it ended up in a bar fight. Not sure who started it -- maybe Fist, looking for some payback? -- but we sure finished it.
When we got back to the Normandy, we found the crew gone. Seems the Collectors attacked and took the crew while we were out. Joker managed to survive and unshackled EDI. Normally an unshackled AI would give me pause, but EDI did take out the Collectors and got the Normandy back to us in one piece. Plus Legion is fighting along side us.
We then travelled through the relay, took out their ship (about time!), then landed on the base. More like crash-landed, but we did land. We recovered our crew (still alive, thank God!), and then discovered they were liquifying their victims to help build a human-looking Reaper. No idea why, and quite frankly I don't want to know. We destroyed that thing, planted the bomb, then got the hell out of dodge while the Collector base blew to smithereens.
I have just a few loose ends to tie up -- I did promise to invite Liara back to the Normandy for drinks -- then I will turn myself in to the Alliance. I hope they let me keep my journal.

Second this is ME 3 RP letting us down again, now I would be curious to see what the version is with a Shepard who is hitched, Here's the scene with a Garrus romance and no "Lola." Is the N7 Leather jacket for FemShep a new LE Addition? because previously it was only John who got the jacket while Jane got the dress. I like a lady who can sport a leather jacket well.

From the Personal Logs of Commander Abigail Shepard, April 20th, 2186
The Salarians finally decided to agree to the meeting. It just happened to be in their home system. Which actually does make some sense since there's is the only participating system that is not under threat by the Reapers. And as it turns out its a good thing to.
If she wasn't such a politician I'd almost admire the Dalatras's tenacity in standing up to me. But given that she was trying every political trick in the back, even with the evidence staring us right in the face, did not do her any favors.
If I had my way I would see the genophage cured. I have fought with the Krogan, with Wrex, and they deserve to be free from this curse. If we are to move ahead. Sure the politics suck, the timing sucks, and Wrex is very insistent on this...but I also know that if we wait until after this crisis has passed us by then maybe we won't be in the mood and it will lose some of its urgency. So I am going to go free the Krogan female that they have on the base at Sur'kesh.
April 21st
Cerberus attacked the Salarian facility.
But it seems like Major Kirhae and Mordin was there and they were the ones leading the project to make sure they were healthy, though two of the females ended up dying.
Kirahae seems a lot like me in some respects. There was a definite air of "I'll do what I am told and keep my opinions to myself" about him which sounds a lot like something I'd say.
'Eve' as Mordin has dubbed her also seems like she is even keeled and bit of a bad ass. Probably should've figured from a Krogan.
Just again it puzzles me what Cerberus was even doing there, they should not have had any real stakes in what went down on that planet. I cannot see how killing Bakara has any stakes in controlling the Reapers...just in spreading chaos...which may be the point but its a shitty way to fight a war.

I am already weighing which skill trees to develop first with my 61 starting points. I'll need to have the descriptions in front of me to be certain, but I'm pretty sure I know how I'll proceed. I'm sticking with Reave as my bonus, and will go ahead and evolve Nova after all. It's my up close grenade, after all. The obnoxious yell will be a constant reminder to not over use it. If you are sticking with Vanguard -- and it seems like you are with your mention of evolving Nova -- then I would max Charge, Nova, and Incendiary Ammo to start. Everything else after that is a bonus. You probably want to then max Assault Mastery to improve your weight capacity and weapon/power damage. Up to you if want to max Reave or Fitness next. Everything else is just a point sink. I maxed Charge and took Nova to 5 (half blast). I took Reave to 4 (AoE). Fitness 2 for a bit of a health cushion. Assault Mastery 3 or 4. (I can't recall, because I maxed it on Mars.) I put my last point in Incendiary Ammo, and added an extra 2 to get it to Evo 2 (+15% panic chance). I'll rely on James until it's maxed. That won't be long. I might go Squad Incendiary Burst and retrain James when it's time. Alternatively, I could repeat ME2 and go IB for Shep and Squad Cryo for everyone else. I haven't decided yet. It's crazy how powerful a level 30 import is. A level 30 Nova Vanguard is pretty much a god from Earth onward.

Oooh resetting points before import that is something I had never thought of. Not only does it allow you to refocus priorities to start ME3, but it allows a needed rebuild. Some evolutions that are great in ME2 are less optimal in ME3. I always reset before saving and closing out ME2.

From the journal of Mark Shepard: So the Reaper invasion is now underway, and apparently I am now in charge of uniting the galaxy because... reasons I guess? It's at least better than being under house arrest.
The Alliance did not let me keep a journal while under confinement, but I did manage to find this journal again, along with a bunch of my other things. Good to see my hamster again. At least I think it's the same hamster. How long do they live again?
So I managed to escape Earth shortly after the Reapers hit. Anderson sent me to the Citadel Council to get help, but Hackett called and sent me to Mars instead. Seems Liara was perusing the Prothean Archives on Mars and discovered plans for a weapon that could possibly defeat the Reapers. But it seems Cerberus was there as well. We found Liara, but no one else survived the attack by Cerberus. Butchers!
It was good to fight with Ashley again. There was still some animosity between us. I told her I wanted things to go back to what they were before, but she was still very skeptical. Can't say I blame her, considering I was with with Cerberus (briefly!) and what Cerberus looks like now. The Illusive Man has implanted them with tech that makes them look like husks. If i was Ashley, I would probably be freaked out about me too.
Tragically, Ashley got injured by a Cerberus mech. She is in the hospital now. It sounds like the surgery went well. I hope she recovers, and soon. It looks like I have my work cut out for me. I have to go pick up the Turian Primarch for a war summit, and it sounds like Palaven is getting hit as hard as Earth.
And for the people who asked several weeks ago (months?) about the Ashley Marksman bug: I have not done extensive testing, but it does look like it is fixed in the Legendary Edition. I managed to reproduce the bug in the original ME3 first, but it appeared to work fine in the Legendary Edition.
I will probably test it out more later when I get Ashley back on the squad for good.
Although I will state again: I still think speccing Ashley for Marksman is a bad idea since squadmates do not use guns effectively to begin with, and therefore she will not use Marksman effectively either. Also, I recommend setting Squadmate Power Use to Off so you always control what power(s) they use. It will make you more effective in combat.

Spent 10 minutes trying to catch "you little fucker."
Beat up James. Talked to Steve. Talked to Sam. Talked to Garrus. Talked to Chakwas again. Visited Kaidan and gave him the booze and told him about Garrus. Talked to Miranda. Talked to Udina. Got the Reaper tech from the Cerberus base because I needed money. Picked up King Javik. Rescued Jack - you gotta take out those engineers fast. Oh, and rescued David. Square root of 906.01 is ... 30.1.
And then went to the War Summit and saw Wrex.

So finished ME2 a couple of days ago and and am currently doing LoTSB, to the point of the Tela Vasir fight. Have Liara an Samara which I think is something I have never done before and had Miranda and Samara before Liara took a spot. ME2 suicide run was not a problem and no real dramas except for a lack of Ammo not being dropped. First part Shep took Jack and Miranda, Tali took the vents, Garrus led the fire teams and Jack did the barrier. Shep took Samara and Thane for the final fight and sent Mordin back with all the survivors. Blew up the Collector base and went full Renegade with TIM in their final conversation, Kelly cane up to the Cabin and danced for Shepard an ending I have never had before. Pic's

Oooh resetting points before import that is something I had never thought of. Not only does it allow you to refocus priorities to start ME3, but it allows a needed rebuild. Some evolutions that are great in ME2 are less optimal in ME3. I always reset before saving and closing out ME2. I hamstrung myself for the end of ME2 by not paying attention during point allocation for squad mates several of them never got to L4 some for their abilities because I used points in abilities I didn't care about instead of just sitting on the points. Wish you could reset them, I couldn't find a way to do it in the game editor.

I am waiting for the IFF to be installed and have just completed Legions LM do I have time to do LoTSB or should I just wait? I only have that and Arrival to do. Element Zero do you know the answer to this question? Not sure. I think LotSB is one mission. If so, you should be okay. I've never tried it, so I waited to see if someone else knew. If you have completed all the desired LMs, and the "better take the shuttle" scene hasn't happened, you should be able to do it without issue. You don't return to Normandy after starting LotSB until it's complete, so you won't get pulled out in the midst of it. I always get the "shuttle scene" after Legion's LM, so you may have the decision made for you. _____ I completed ME2 today, minus Arrival. I vacillated on that one too long and will have to tackle it post-game. No matter how many times I complete the Suicide Mission, it's still super satisfying. I have had a lot of fun this playthrough, and I'm looking forward to continuing into ME3. With LE, I have been playing around with fireteam rosters for different missions. This time, I returned to my preferred combinations in several cases and was reminded why they are the best. Many find the Derelict Reaper with it's swarming enemies to be particularly challenging. It's a cakewalk with the right roster and builds. Shepard Vanguard: Area Reave, Squad Cryo... Samara: Throw Field, Sapiens Justicar, Area Reave Thane: Throw Field, Unstable Warp (heavy is arguably better on this mission), Drell Marksman Having two Area Reaves and two Throw Fields renders all those armored Husks less bothersome. Throw in two squaddies with Tempest SMGs freezing everything, and it's pretty damn easy. Shepards vary, of course, but those two are always good choices. Twelve squadmates was probably too many, but it does have the advantage of providing squaddies for every situation. I do enjoy that part of ME2. In ME1, biotics trump everything. In ME3, everyone is so damn strong that most combinations can stomp the game. ME2 probably hit the sweetspot. I did my classic/standard SM choices: * Tech Expert: Legion * Fire Team Leader: Garrus * Crew Escort: Kasumi * Biotic Shield: Samara * Squadmates: Miranda and Mordin Aside from Kasumi, who wasn't around yet, that's been my go-to lineup since my first PT. I deviate now and then, but that one just feels right to me, after so many runs. _____ Rambling on to ME3... 😉 I am already weighing which skill trees to develop first with my 61 starting points. I'll need to have the descriptions in front of me to be certain, but I'm pretty sure I know how I'll proceed. I'm sticking with Reave as my bonus, and will go ahead and evolve Nova after all. It's my up close grenade, after all. The obnoxious yell will be a constant reminder to not over use it. 😖 I kind of wish we had Ashley this time. I'll miss her explosions and Squad Disruptor. Kaidan is great, though, so Shep will be fine. I may give the Reegar Carbine some use this playthrough, at least for a few missions. As OP as it is, I never loved using it. It's well past time for me to give it another go. Maybe it will become my primary weapon until I get my Lancer. There are few better times to use it than with a Vanguard, I guess. _____ Alright, enough rambling. My classic sm choices are: Tech Expert: Legion Fire team: Garrus or Miranda (Garrus this time - at least he has experience) Crew escort: Tali Biotic Shield: Jack ... just because Squadmates: 1st: Jack and Zaeed; 2nd: Samara and Grunt; 3rd: Jack and Grunt... I change a little but this is typical. I might swap out Samara and Jack on the second leg.

Although I am not playing as a Vanguard but Sentinel I am following your advice. I gave Shepard Blood Reave as a bonus power. The only problem is I don't think anyone has Cryo ammo, the Sentinel has Cryo Blast would that help?
