What did you do today in ME?

"Ah, yes. Random loot." Too bad they dismissed that in ME2&3 

Did anyone die in them?

Nope, I was just trying to trigger a specific line folks were telling me people got when following the paragon path.  I was re-using a Shep save who was very paragon and everyone was loyal.  I used the same squad (Miranda and Jack) for all 4 playthroughs of it, just switching different individual dialogue selections to make sure the it was the dialogue selections triggering the changes and not something else.  Boring stuff.  Will get back to actually playing hopefully tomorrow.  On the plus side, I'm getting darned good at taking down that proto-reaper.

Jenna finally went to see what was going on in the Outer Rim, only to find that the quarians had gone an declared war on the geth. Great timing guys, the Reapers want to subjugate the entire galaxy and you guys are fighting over one planet? Can't this wait? Apparently not, as admirals Koris, Gerrel and Xen were fighting amongst themselves and Admirals Raan and Zorah were struggling to keep the peace. That's right, Jen's friend Tali made good and got the promotion Jen herself has been sadly denied. Tali gets made an Admiral, Liara becomes an intelligence kinpin, Garrus has the Primarch asking his opinions,Kaidan's a Major, while Shep and Joker are stuck in the same ranks they were when the series started... After rescuing Legion, punching Admiral Gerral (has to be done) and then rescuing Admiral Koris, Jen entered the Matrix.... the Geth Matrix were alas nobody dresses in black, knows kung fu or gets a cool pair of shades.
The one person who really seems rattled about this is Javik, who suggested we toss Legion out of the airlock several times, explained quite a lot about the plot and recommended we got Joker's head examined. Note to self: Listen to Javik more and possibly take his advice on Joker, the prothean occasionally speaks sense, when he's not complaining about the state of the galaxy. Felt a bit bad about siding against him and with EDI, he has a point with Legion and the geth, but he's a bit unfair to EDI who has nothing to do with the geth and has frequently expressed her dislike of the Reapers.

Yep.

Except when forced to, I have not spoken to Liara and we have just finished Rannoch. Going back to talk to the Asari councillor and see what Aria is moaning about. Whether I go with her to Omega or just meet her down in Purgatory, I haven't quite decided. I want to see how far I can get without having to talk to her. Liara.

I won't spoil anything on singleplayer...

But yeah, MP can be pretty fun. Although I haven't tried it since the game out. And I played Adept a lot. The most. I usually prefer soldier for SP, but it's not as good in MP.

JenShep fought some Geth (oh, i love Vanguard), took out a Reaper and shouted so hard at the geth and the quarians that they made friends and stopped fighting each other. A bit worried about Javik, he seems very worried about the machines, and appears to be throwing every computer and electronic device we come across out of the airlock.
Jen then went back to the Citadel as Anderson had left her his apartment to play in. Dinner with Joker turned out to be messy and ended up taking Garrus out for a night on the tiles while breaking into a casino. This ended up with Jenna fighting her own clone (oh, i really love Vanguard...) before Garrus returned the favour and took Jen dancing. All i can say, it being Strictly season here in the UK, It's a 10 from me!

Group dynamics have changed a bit between Sheps, or maybe it's Kaidan's presence, but Jenna doesn't seem to gel with Liara as well as Scott did. Scott considered Garrus and Liara to be his best friends, Jenna's best friend on the Normandy, in the absence of Jack, is Tali, although she seems to be a hit with James. Javik winds her up with his technophobia and tendency to dismiss everybody and everything as inferior to his Cycle. He's like a grumpy elderly uncle, "In maaaah day, we kicked all synthetics out of the airlock! and we had real Reapers...". Uncle Urdnot is much more fun. One of my favourite things about the Citadel DLC is Wrex getting rather carried away.

when I played MP it was mostly 'heal me'? Please? And then they kill you and stomp on your face.

I'm currently completing the loyalty missions in ME2. Once again, as soon as I had finished Jack's mission she fought Miranda and once again I couldn't resolve it other than by alienating her; she's no longer loyal. I rolled a fem shep, intending for her to be a renegade but I keep making the same choices because I find many of the renegade choices to be gratuitous and it's yanking me out of immersion.

Oh, and boarding the collector ship (TIM's nasty little trap) has to be one of my favorite mission.
