D.A. fan is back for an ME1 Text Only 'Let's Play' (page 51)

Shepherd:I don't understand how he can look at himself in the mirror.

Joker: I've been wondering that too- with those freaky eyes.

Ouch, Javik. But also- what? Memory loss?

Aw. Miranda scene at the apartment was nice. A bit redeeming. I guess she won't be on my kill list anymore...

Jacob can still die though.

Also, in ME 2 loyalty was clearly marked. Did they scrap that in ME3?

Why is Hackett devoting Earth forces to this and putting the special weapons in danger?

EDI is forced to come with... And brought Kaidan so he could watch me die.

...

Considering how much EDI obviously knows about Cerberus, why would TIM allow her to be unshackled?

Oh wonderful. We've been shooting mind controlled civilians.

Wow. That conversation out get with Kaidan right after the project lazurus irst entry. Shepherd doubts she's Shepherd. And Kaidan says she being human and against Cerberus is good enough for him. Feelz.

Umm... How the hell does EDI being a rogue VI not come up so far?

So... Using a dead Reaper body made from dead humans as a battery...Not creepy at all😐😉

Just a caution... if you're unaware, Cronos is the point of no-return for the game.

I have no fetch quests and I can't visit the Citadel one last time, for example...

I'm making what are obviously Goodbye Rounds. I'm disappointed it's not cutscenes like I got with Joker.

The Normandy feels like a lot of empty space. It was so full at the end of ME2 and it never did refill again.

The reporter just seems sad and tired. Samantha flirting with her at this point seems Ill timed.

Steve had nothing to say? That's absurd.

Spent all my money. I don't know if this stuff carries over to a new game.

Then it was up to the Captain's quarters. I never missed a fish feeding. I won't bother buying an auto feeder again. Tapped on my space hamster's box. I still feel guilty that he's going on to someone new. Hopefully Kaidan will take the little guy.

And then... I haven't walked into Life Support since Thane died. Menory allows me to torture myself a bit as I recall his smile and the way he called me Siha. I reflect on that scene when Shepherd woke up in sexy underwear and the camera happened to focus on the empty bed next to her. reminds me of when my husband and I are apart, we still sleep on our side of the beds. Shepherd leaves that room and goes to the memorial and I imagine Shepherd putting her hand on the name and saying, "This is for you, baby."

Off to go save the galaxy. Who should I bring?

Kaidan watching me die is important to me and he's the only character I feel connected to from the start. But Liara really sounds like she wants to be there too. Other option considerations are Javik and Garrus but definitely not EDI or James. It's a bummer they limit our to a team of two. I prefer the three of DA

Did you take that renegade interrupt on Kai Leng? That is one satisfying moment.

For Earth: Definitely bring those you feel closest to, I think it improves upon the experience. You have the Extended Cut, right? Just checking.

Personally I like to pair Kaidan with Liara for combat reasons, but this last time I took Kaidan+James since all 3 of us were born on Earth... I think I've only brought Javik once? But I think he makes for an interesting choice as well. He's waited 50,000 years. :sure:

So... you can go with who gives you the most feels and/or somebody that will help you in battle/who you're comfortable fighting with. Some tough fights are ahead. Kaidan+Garrus isn't a bad combo. Kaidan is a very useful squadmate though, as he has versatility, so anyone one you pair with him could be complimentary.

I would've loved to bring everybody, even reunite with those from ME2, but sadly that is not an option...

Kind of a bummer you're doing this now, since I need to get to sleep. But I wish you luck and... look forward to reading your reactions. Go kick some Reaper ass!

Great choice - story-wise and not bad at all for combat either!

I'm working on a project all night, so I'll keep checking in.
