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

You really don't need that many recourses (I think it's only around 250.000 of each except Eezo in order to get all upgrades. Eezo, you only need around 50.000.

I'm now attempting to "recruit the Krogan." Apparently the save I imported had Shepherd destroy the cure, so now there are Krogan being grown in tanks. One of them broke their silence to speak to Shepherd. Other than smelling different, no reason was given as to why. Huh. Wonder if this is chosen one support or if somehow what Cerberus did to Shepherd makes her sorta alien. I can imagine a kill switch could have been installed or something interesting like that.

Then whenever I get the Krogan I'll do the loyalty mission. Till one by one they will all be completed. And then the game stoey starts? Haha. I'm feeling a bit like I'm in the Hinterlands.

That was some lame dancing, Shepherd. Still cool we can do it a little though.

A flower? *Brow raise*

Some like professor Solas?   Is he an expert on... things outside Shepherd's normal experience? Does he tell stories?

So, I was looking at Miranda and the woman NPCs and I think I didn't make my Shepherd have enough fat on her face so now she looks a bit like an underfed model. The forehead seems a bit big with this hairstyle but I wanted the bun to be high and visible. The lack of how strong I could make the make up was also a sad loss- I would generally not have such strong makeup at all. I'm playing my third attempt. I was going for a Captain Janeway-esque with green eyes.



I recruit everyone and say yes to everything on a first play through. If initial impressions are correct, then I would skip Mr. Thug on a 2nd PT.

I just don't understand why Aria talked to Shepherd at all. She controls everything, but ignores the criminals around her killing each other = contradictory. She also looks pretty easy to kill, security wise.

I've been picking a LOT of middle right options. And been treating the left side of the wheel as information gathering, although it seems to spur conversation forward sometimes too.

I'm getting a sense that Shepherd is NOT very... role playing-ing. This reminds me of playing Geralt. This person I'm playing is a fully formed person with memories I don't remember, Training in Army Stuff I have no personal experience in, and opinions I can only half of the time share. I ended up enjoying TW3 not for playing Geralt, but for loving the characters and story around him, because I couldn't shape him as a person pretty much at all.

But it's early yet. PErhaps I will feel more in line with Shepherd later.

The alien that shot the Bartender for me is aaaaaallll right.

Is Kelly my Newspaper of the Normandy?

Then I went down and played cards with the engineers. Thought we'd actually play cards and felt mixed when I just auto won instead.

Oh my gosh, Joker makes me laugh so much!

And every time I ask Jacob if we can talk about him he's like NO. Ugh

Palm trees. We're in Florida.

Is that a monkey with hands? @_@

Whoa. You can kill them.

It kinda feels more like stealing when I'm hacking electronics. "Your pocket cash isn't enough, gonna have to go empty your bank account."

I'm now attempting to "recruit the Krogan." Apparently the save I imported had Shepherd destroy the cure, so now there are Krogan being grown in tanks. One of them broke their silence to speak to Shepherd. Other than smelling different, no reason was given as to why. Huh. Wonder if this is chosen one support or if somehow what Cerberus did to Shepherd makes her sorta alien. I can imagine a kill switch could have been installed or something interesting like that.

Rana the Asari got to skip out. Don't know her *shrug*

Okeer died to save his Legacy. Sweet.

Miranda is Morrigan.

Jacob is Leliana.

Released the Krogan

Joker had things to say about that that made me laugh. I think I'll skip talking o everyone else a d just talk to him.

Some like professor Solas?   Is he an expert on... things outside Shepherd's normal experience? Does he tell stories?

Give Shepard a chance. I was going to say much the same thing as AnDromedary . Shepard is a bit like Hawke: established in a way, but still with room for roleplaying...much more so than Geralt. You'll see, I think, as you distance yourself from ME1 and the implied history there that you didn't get to see.


Joker is awesome, and he just keeps getting better. And you're starting to get annoyed with Jacob and his noncommittal-ness are you? Good. Goooooood. Perhaps you will go for a different romance option, then? Maybe a certain alien who resembles a talking velociraptor? 

You killed one of those?? You monster! 

They're so ugly-cute, with their little hopping walk and their freaky stretched out faces.


No...not like the Hinterlands. I can't really elaborate without spoilers, though. You'll see 

...just in case you're serious, no. NO. Don't do that. 

And since you've released Grunt, have you talked to him?

Did you even go after Mr. Calibrations yet??

Better. Keep talking to him.

See, I don't feel like Hawke is that formed. I could embrace being the responsible sibling... or resent the hell out of it but do it begrdugingly anyway... or resent it, ignore it as best as I could, and downright make everyone miserable. I can only be a hero with Shepherd- a mean one, or a nice one, but she's embraced her place in the world and you can't RP that you wish you didn't have the burden of command when it's inherent in his/her character that they sought to be a Spectre/Commander/Admiral whatever. Even the Inquisitor got to try to decline being thrust into the leadership role, and even have a moment to freak out out loud about their concerns over the position. 

Jacob and Miranda just still have the same whole 3 Questions plus 1 Personal question they both decline to answer because they don't like me enough.  Same for the Krogan. Only Zaeed is loyal to me at the moment, and I nearly shot him when he got pinned down on that Florida Monkey Planet (is how much I like him). And he doesn't even have cinematic talks, I just click him and he barrages me with graphic stories of violence. I flee the room as he continues to regale me with gore.

I don't have Calibrations Guy or the Professor yet. I was just making a small joke about Solus being close to Solas in spelling and both being smart.

I think that Archangel might be Garrus.

A mysterious Turian taking down Criminals? Huh? Huh?! I'm going to be right *smug*
