Stupid Newbie Questions, The Prequel: Mass Effect 1

But ME3's pretty easy anyway, so it doesn't really matter that much.

I would say more with James.

Nope. Conrad is a good character. He means well. When you see him the next time, he will have one of the best lines in the trilogy. The line only applies when playing femshep.

The other thing. Help a character named Jenna on the Citadel, if you haven't already.

I just talked to her for the first time. Told her I'd pass along any relevant information I could find.

Oh. I could have sworn it was a J name. Where would I find Rita?



I love how freely I can roam the Citadel this time. So much of it is wide open.

Garrus and Ash do the most because their passives have base weapon damage modifiers in them at rank 5 and 6 that partially make up for the huge weapon damage penalty that squadmates get in ME3 (0.3x multiplier).

Bioware never did, but there is a mod on the nexus:  www.nexusmods.com/masseffect3/mods/396/?

Not sure where you're at in your playthrough, but if you haven't left the Citadel yet, I would suggest staying and doing as many side missions as possible before getting back on the Normandy. I believe if you complete everything that can be completed, the player ends up around level 10 or 11. Nearly all of that is not fighting. So that will help you out when facing the baddies.

The same for when you're using your mini-me SR1 on the map. Some planets can be scanned from space giving you experience points. As I say. It helps when fighting because you're at a higher level and depending on where you put your points, it can help with opening crates, boxes or whatever.

Ah man. A spoiler about ME3 on an ME1 thread.

Can't read here either :/

I spoke to Rita, Jenna (that's where I saw the name before...she's a bartender), and an old limping Turian last night before going to bed, so I'll be helping Jenna pretty soon.

It was also interesting to meet Wrex for the first time, since he was dead in the ME1 default worldstate that I got for ME2.

Shepard becoming a spectre was a little underwhelming. The council wasn't thrilled about it, and seemed to only allow it to pacify the silly humans who they don't actually respect, but just want to keep quiet.

But maybe it was just underwhelming because I know it was a given.

So far, there are things to like about this game (Citadel being so big and open being the major one), and I'm glad I'm playing it once just to actually see the whole story. However, on subsequent playthroughs of the trilogy, this game may get reduced to a session with the save editor so I can move on to ME2, where the dialogue is less boring and Shepard has more depth. We'll see, though. It's still early





Aw, sorry But uh...where? I don't see anything. I hope I didn't leave one, although I guess I can't make any guarantees for others who post here.

I was unable to use a charm option on the old Turian (Chellick?? Something like that?) in C-Sec, although I wouldn't have anyway since I'd like to do that mission. Is that a problem? Or unusual in any way?
