am I the only one still playing this? No. I haven't been in the mood to game every night, but I'm doing an insanity attempt playthrough. I also have a bad decisions playthrough going once I can stomach going back to it Speaking of which... MELE 1, Engineer, Insanity attemptIs it just me, or is insanity difficulty really unbalanced in ME1? Some fights are relatively easy (such as the geth and krogan when rescuing Liara), while others kick my ass (random pirates and mercs ). There's not a lot of in between. That said, having Liara's singularity plus mine as a bonus power plus actually remembering to use grenades made the pirates I went after yesterday pretty doable. I'm not taking Garrus on every mission anymore since I need those extra biotics. It's tragic, really. I ended up using the exploit to be able to use the mako to take out that geth armature (and its annoying little signal-jamming friends) on Therum. It didn't take long at all to get through the rock barrier. Here's a video for anyone who is amused by such things I also took down my first insanity thresher maw, which again felt unbalanced and not much more difficult than usual, other than having to repair the mako in the middle of the fight. Well done, re getting the Mako through.

ME 1
Got through with Feros...and started doing a lot of side stuff.
Ugh I am once again reminded just how odd it seems how fast I am moving through this game and its campaign which shouldn't be too bad of a thing. After all planning on playing the very THICK Vahalla again next so... but again already ready to start Noveria...soon. And well its also weird thinking about how much of ME 2 I will actually be playing.
But right now still running through the game and well...I actually succeeded in not getting Sha'ira horny for Shepard pretty blind...friggin Asari...and doing a few other things. But the theme of the day? Doing quests I suppose a bit early. Normally I save the Kahoka mission for late in the game and the sniper mission with Elanos Heliat for late...but well that did not happen. The mission with Kahoku I even triggered before he commed me on anything...which also means I found the Rachni before knowing about the rachni...and in for a penny in for a pound finished off Hades Dogs. The sniper mission, the one with the probe, is one of my favorites...but today I went the wrong way. And then stumbled upon the camp quite accidentally which got me into more of a fire fight then I am used to...still used my snipers to keep them down and kill them.

ME 1
So lets see did Private Tombs and the first two missions for the loyalty of the squad with Saleon and with Wrex...also some more Cerberus stuff. So lets see here:
First off Tombs mentioned that he only escaped because someone destroyed Cerberus which let him escape which is interesting because I do not think I ever heard that before. Now I know of the Cerberus connection but not entirely sure if Tombs mentioned that Cerberus was destroyed which is...well interesting because A. Cerberus is obviously very much alive and B. well in this playthrough maybe for the first time ever...I did Hades Dogs before this. Which maybe I just never heard that before...but that is fascinating if they actually did do that. Might bear some looking up.
Ugh just as an aside this was going to be a short post but I am thinking of more things that came up and its very shot gun approach here so forgive me for that.
Anyways during a conversation with Tali it was just really weird because it railroaded me into dissing the Quarians which is interesting for two reasons A. because this feels like BioWare was really telegraphing how they wanted things to go...of course then they give you the option to back off later...and then B. Andromeda is criticized for 'four ways to say yes' which fine maybe but it does happen and in a very important scene here that should have been handled with nuance. And those decisions came up with a couple of times here. Including you not giving you the option to bring Saleon in...which I can see the logic since CSEC already fucked up with him so bad in the past so not give them a second chance.
I also made the mistake I do make quite often when dealing with this stuff to. I brought down no tech specialist...which was needed to open the vault with the armor...which then pissed me off because it does seem kind of stupid to do there and also getting the new squad mate.
Which then leads me to the combat and another weird thing because I think this happens with every PT but also in an instance where it is happening a lot faster because seems like ME 1 LE takes a lot shorter time then the base game. So was saying how much I was enjoying the combat but it just seems you hit a wall where you stop...hit that wall. just seems no matter what happens enemies gets bullet sponges and then runs around forcing you to run around and...yeah. And this just happened with the Wrex family armor mission which was annoying.
Also got up to Noveria...and then am off to talk to Lorik Qui'in. Actually reloaded so Abigail could get in her 'I represent the second guessing of galactic law' line. Not for video but it bothered me because I was being stupid I knew the 'left' option which is typically investigate would've been just another option...but it was out of her character to do it. But I did it, for reasons which are beyond me...and it locked me out of the super cool and very Abby esque dialog...so a reload was in order.

Folks on this site know I've played ME numerous times. I've done playthroughs a lot have never done. Look at the playthrough in my signature. I've played on the ps3 and the remaster on the ps4.
What I'm I doing today in ME? I'm currently downloading the remaster to my computer I just purchased a couple of minutes ago from steam for $24.59. The reason why is to try out some of the mods the remaster has to offer. It will likely be a few days before I start playing.

Virmire. Felt like doing the genophage arc with wreav so I killed off wrex. Also got the I'm feeling a hell of a lot better than he is line 🤣 man Shepard is colder than noveria. Also felt like keeping kaidan alive so I killed off Ashley who I had been romancing. Shepard prioritised saving the nuke which kaidan was arming.. needless to say, Ashley's death deeply affected Shepard.. more so because he didn't get to bang her yet. He snapped at kirrahe. Saying his respect is worthless. That he'd rather have ash back.. it's gonna be a lonely trip to illos for Shepard .

I got it through Steam but I'm not going to refund it as I will want to play it eventually, once I upgrade to a new system. It appears to be a Win 7 issue, though the fixes I've seen around didn't work for me. Rather than beat my head against the wall over it, I just uninstalled.

I just started the game on my system to see if it works before adding any mods. I run Windows 10. Everything appears to be ok. Looks good in 4k. Happy Birthday

I need all my spare change for gas. Good luck, whilst getting a new PC is painful from a getting everything set-up point I can't wait to hear how impressed you are with the upgrade. Oh don't mention the gas price it's bad here too and not only that we are having every other energy type price rises and food shortages as well.

E 1Up to Peak 15. So lets see here. Actually had trouble navigating around Port Hanshan which led to the amusing headcanon imagining the squad giving her guff about it but her acting all cool like she knew the way the entire time. I have to be a little amused that a little political blackmail netted me twenty five renegade points, so Renegon is now...at least till the end of the mission firmly in the lead. I did realize to while it actually might seem a little harsh even for Abby that she was already fed up with how Gianna was acting...which I wish there was dialogue options to call her on our bullshit more...but here we are. Also always love the Analeius capture scene. Managed to get vid which I may keep and also the screen shot of smug Shepard looking smug and Abby looks far more evil about it then Nora. Also got Wrex to say 'or I will eat you.' Which always cracks me up...Wrex is hungry.

You know you can talk to anoleis after killing benezia and he'll comment on what happened and ask what went down. Shepard can than blackmail him into giving him money for the info or you can just blow him off.. " life is full of little disappointments Mr anoleis, this is one of yours" there's some amusing renegade dialogue in this part. I like messing with anoleis, forcing him to give me a garage pass or I'll turn him into the board, extorting money outta him for the rachni information than to top it all of I help parisini take him down afterwards. Couldn't of happened to a nicer guy .

Yep, and I bought a new PC! It wasn't one they had on the shelf but it should arrive in about a week. I did come home with a new monitor, keyboard, and mouse though. All still in the boxes.
