ME3 Failing the Reputation Check to Recruit Dr. Michel

Does the opportunity for that sort of conversation with her arise again or should I go back and just not trigger the conversation at all yet? (I did do a quick save just after talking with Dr. Chakwas and just before talking with Dr. Michel).

Thanks.

I sort of remembered the issue with Mordin and the genophage from way back when I did do a non-import playthrough from before.  I do plan to do as much as possible before that point in this playthrough; that is, if I decide to carry on that far through this one. 

The posts on the other thread made me curious again about the non-import playthroughs vs. the import ones where most of the squad doesn't survive in ME2.  On my Xbox 360, I've had issues in the past with the Genesis comics messing up things (don't really know why).  I've just be loading Mass Effect onto my Xbox One, so I decided I'd load ME3 first and started this playthrough - no comic and , so far, no EC installed (to remind myself of the before EC endings).  I was originally going to start it without any of the DLC... but I broke down and installed some of it yesterday (although I can still just not do those missions with this particular Shepard).  I don't know though if I can bear to be without old Javik.

Yep, I am aware of that one from our previous discussions... not really expected to get the breath, but we'll see.  Like I said, I may even have trouble just finishing this one... importing just adds so much to the characterization.  I probably won't do a daily thing with this playthrough (still planning to focus on Vance... currently in ME2), but I will post a synopsis of my impressions, etc. some day... if I do manage to complete it.

That makes more sense given our previous conversations on this.  Can't do anything about getting the GR up above 50%... my internet here just isn't good enough to even try to play anything online.  (I'd be the guy that just barely shows up and then gets bumped).

Just another quick question... without doing any DLC and no EC, is it even still possible to get the notorious Green ending?

Yes, she's just annoying about it.  In my case, Chakwas (and all but two squadmates) had died on the Collector Base so Dr. Michel was the only option for me in ME3.  I had to go to her repeatedly to get her to join me.  Had she worked for the Alliance you could doubtless force her to join.  Anyway, get a rep and she'll realize she's needed.  Not nearly as warm and friendly as Chakwas.  I would not choose her again if I had a choice.

I can't find out how to buy/get Arrival or the Lair of the Shadow Broker or Kasumi-Stolen Memory anywhere. Will not getting to do these DLCs keep me from getting the best ending (Anderson not shot and Shepard moving at the end)?

Those are not required to get the breath scene

I'm playing on PC. When I click the links for through the Origins client I get a 404 message.  The other day, I couldn't find how to buy them on BSN but right now I've found a link and I think I can get them after all. 

Ok, I have them now. I had to deal with Bioware points   but at least I have them.
