What did you do today in ME?

Word is on the extranet that a bunch of Geth in the Armstrong Nebula were killed off by a "ghost," or some damn thing...

Interesting, Bev Shep just so happened to be in the same sector as the ill fated Geth. Gee, I wonder who could've done that???

- Noah set out to disable an espionage probe as ordered by Hackett and ended up killing the mastermind behind the Skyllian Blitz.
Afterwards, he cleared a ship with way too many husks for his liking.
Next up were some scientists that were stupid enough to play around with Thorian Creepers. They offered Noah some money in exchange for not reporting them. Noah accepted. They'll probably end up killing themselves in one of their stupid experiments anyway.
Noah then went to deal with a scientist in danger on Ontarom. Turns out a man named Toombs teamed up with some mercs and wanted the scientist dead, but he ended up dead himself. Noah didn't take the time to ask what the scientist had done to Toombs, and when he wouldn't stand down, Noah took the shot.
- The next stop was Virmire, where Saren found a cure for the genophage to create an army of krogan. Wrex was pissed that the present salarians wanted to destroy the base together with the cure. Noah spoke with him and without much effort, Wrex stood down. Kaidan accompanied Noah and Tali while Ashley was sent with a salarian team. They infiltrated the base, did not let any of the salarians held captive there out and Noah shot Rana Thanoptis due to being allied with Saren and possible indoctrination. Then Noah found another beacon, talked to Saren's ship and finally they could do what they came to do. Place a bomb for Kaidan to arm it. Ashley and her team were in trouble so Noah went to help. Halfway there Kaidan reported in that geth arrived at the bomb site, and he set the nuke off. Noah had to admit he had some balls to do that. Not much could be done other than get Ashley and the salarians out with the help of the Normandy and get away from the blast radius as far as possible.
Ashley didn't take her survival very well, but Noah secretly had to admit he was glad Kaidan was the tech guy for bomb duty. Kaidan was a good man, but losing Ashley there would have been quite disappointing... After all, it would be interesting to see where this thing with him and Williams would go. He had to remind both Ashley and himself though that every soldier is expendable for the sake of the mission. All the while wondering if he had made a mistake letting that extraordinary woman so close to him.
- Hackett called in and sent Noah to deal with his former CO from Torfan, Major Kyle. He wasn't all there anymore, but Noah was able to intimidate him enough so he'd surrender.

Virmire

Aftermath


Leaving Kaidan behind is never easy! I like him so much more especially in ME3 compared to Ash, but let's see how her romance will be. I wanted to save Kirrahe here because I just love this guy! But really, I want to kill off Thane in ME2 so Kirrahe would appear in ME3 (I might do some things to upset Ashley, so I can't really let Noah kill her if I wanna romance her, eh ).
Even though I do some terrible things in this run, it's great to change things up and see new things

Many missions were completed. While most of them were unrelated to stoping Saren, they did, in a way, add to the bigger picture. Some even added to the mystery of the Reapers. The Galaxy is a dangerous place.

After completing multiple missions on the side & foiling the Batarians' attempt at planet destruction, Shep continued her hunt for Saren & the Conduit. Feros was the next stop. Geth were everywhere, but she took care of them. With the cipher taken from the vile Thorian, Shepard is one step closer to finding the Conduit.

Then came Noveria. Like Anderson said, it was trouble. A place of corruption. Not to mention the Geth continued to be a problem. To make matters worse, Rachni have returned, and without the influence of the Queen, held captive at Peak 15, they were feral, and violent. Shep confronted Matriarch Benezia, and found out about about the lost Mu Relay, another piece added to this galactic-sized puzzle. Instead of killing the Queen, Shep allowed her to leave in the hopes that she will create a less violent future for the rest of her kind...



The sky didn't fall after all...


Plant trouble...


Post Feros...


An icy situation...

I've been playing through ME3 with terrible galaxy state Shepard now.

Just completed Priority: Tuchanka and have cured the genophage, Padok Wiks died at the top of the shroud. Eve died and Wreave is now in charge of a united Tuchanka. I also tipped Wreave off to the Salarian offer.

Before curing the genophage I completed Tuchanka: Turian Platoon and either let the harvester kill the turians or just ran by them without helping. James didn't seem to like that choice.

Other things Shepard has done so far.

Have not recruited Dr. Michel, so don't get wounded on the Normandy
Have not recruited Javik
Have not visited Ashley in the hospital
Let the Asari huntress have a weapon (also for lower TMS)
Let the refugees dock (for lower TMS)

I just began my 4th playthrough of the series, I just got to the Citadel in LE1.  But LE3 is my favorite game of the 3.  They're all great in my opinion.  As for the ending mod I downloaded it but haven't seen it play out.  Also did you use the mod that has the party after the ending?  www.nexusmods.com/masseffectlegendaryedition/mods/1018

You have to install the Epilogue mod before the Ending mod.

The galaxy can rest easy knowing Shepard is there to save the day.

Completed Attican Traverse:Krogan Team. Let the Rachni Breeder go free, lost Dagg and Aralakh company as well. Wreave was not pleased.

Headed back to the Citadel and stopped the Cerberus coup. Shepard shot both Ashley and Udina. Councilor Esheel was killed by Kai Leng. There are now only two councilors left out of the original four. Something I didn't know is that there are Cerberus troopers on the elevators that show up if you don't take out the power conduits.

Zaeed died in a shootout with mercenaries. Took the Volus bombing fleet over warning the Turians. (So a turian colony is attacked)

The "Cerberus bomb" went off on Tuchanka killing many krogan. Wreave said all krogan will cry for blood when they discover who was responsible.

Other things Shepard has done:
Didn't help Grissom Accademy, so it's been raided by Cerberus.
Back the C-Sec officer at Apollos Cafe. (For lower TMS)
Backed the angry merchant and authorized weapon sales at Spectre terminal (For Lower TMS)
Authorized Private Tulavi's transfer (For Lower TMS)

From Monday:

- Noah arrived in the Artemis Tau cluster to follow the last lead he had concerning this whole mess. He first found Admiral Kahoku's men though, lured in by a beacon and mangled by a thresher maw. Kahoku won't like hearing this.
- Noah then stumbled upon some baddies and shot them all. Then he remembered that this one asari had asked him to find her sister. Well, he did and now she's dead. But she was also a goddamn slaver, so she deserved to die.
- Headed to Therum next, the only place the daughter of Benezia could be. She was still alive, but delirious as hell. Noah got her out of a trap she had gotten herself into, killed some geth and a krogan, and then they escaped the crumbling ruins. The asari, Liara, suggested joining minds to make sense of the Prothean vision. Noah reluctantly accepted, what other choice did he have? It was worth it though, because now they knew where they had to go! Ilos...
Just telling the Council left now. What could possibly go wrong?

Therum

Chatting

End-game ahead! I won't do the Cerberus quests this time, so I should finish relatively soon. Can't wait to import into ME2!

Completed Priority: Geth Dreadnought and Priority: Rannoch.

It's been a while since I've had a playthrough with Tali dead so I got to take along Admiral Zen during the dreadnought mission.

In between the two I rescued the civilian crew instead of Admiral Koris to cause problems coordinating the civilian fleet during the assault on Rannoch. I didn't do the geth server mission so as to avoid getting additional geth primes.

During Rannoch I sided with the geth. In my many playthroughs I think this is only the third or fourth time I've sided with the geth. The geth VI uploaded itself to help the geth and Admiral Raan shot herself.

Other things Shepard has done:
Punched Al-Jilani for the third time across the series
Have recieved an email from the Alliance stating that they are worried about the rachni. Something about them acting strange.

I downloaded the Dreams Remade mod and imported Artemis to ME3. I did make some changes with the save editor. I changed the ME2 import so Jacob is dead, and set the flag for a Kaidan's romance. I tried, but I really prefer Liara as a friend.

Artemis in ME3:
Casual:


Armor:

Oh no, now I need to play it all over again   Maybe with mods this time? 

Artemis managed to escape Earth, and extract Liara from Mars. She started repairing her relationship with Kaidan before he was injured. She was a bit pissed at James for using the shuttle as bumper car, when it is armed with perfectly working guns. The Council stonewalled Artemis again, except for the Turian Councilor. He reached out with the typical political BS, you scratch my back I scratch yours. For once she would like someone to help without asking for something in return.

It seems things are catching up to Artemis, she started having nightmares again. Seeing the fear in a child's eyes as the Reapers invaded Earth, took her back to Mindoir and terror she felt herself as little more than a child.

Holy moly! Dreams Remade improves the dream sequences so much. Instead of some random kid, it is the kid, Anderson, and Shepard's crew! It continues to amaze me how modders have improved on Bioware's work and resolved many of my issues with the original games.

Just need a mod to remove/replace Ashley's drunkenly passed out scene in ME3.
