[Megathread] Mass Effect 3

**CHALET** · 2012-11-08, 02:49 PM

Considering Petrosky was made out to be a pretty decent/whiter side of morally grey operative in the comics it wouldn't surprise me if it turns out he and his men are fighting their own "civil war" with indoctrinated Cerberus when we meet him and that we have to choose between getting his forces or Aria's.

Just a hunch. Then again, they turned TIM Chaotic Stupid as well so the same would hardly surprise me here.

**Gravath** · 2012-11-08, 02:51 PM

Well it was said that we can fight for omega for using its resources against the reapers or aiding arias bloodthirsty revenge against cerberus.
So we might have to kill Aria to get resources for the war, or kill the general for making us angry.

And TIM was far from stupid. He was right on the money.

Oh cool, they're actually putting in the adjutant? Was reading on the Mass Effect Wiki a while back and it said that the Adjutant was removed because it was too resource intensive.

Adjutants were originally designed as an enemy unit for Mass Effect 3. Also referred to as "Pariahs" during development, Adjutants were cut from the final version of the game because their planned ability to teleport around the battlefield "proved too much even for the relatively generous physics of the Mass Effect universe."

Makes sense considering their relation to Omega. Should be interesting.

"cause their planned ability to teleport around the battlefield "proved too much even for the relatively generous physics of the Mass Effect universe."

Banshees?

I finally unlocked the Turian Soldier. That totally didn't take 8 months........

**Grizzly Willy** · 2012-11-08, 05:37 PM

Yeah, I was confused by that as well. Maybe they had a different teleport mechanic? The Banshee teleport is more of a short range blink that is rather predictable. Could be that the Adjutants were able to teleport longer distances and weren't bound to trying to close in on a player when teleporting.

O.o Isn't that one of the classes that came with the original release?

It is indeed. RNG's gotta RNG I guess.

But Cerberus, or rather the Illusive Man, used them as a distraction so he could take over Omega. They let the "wild animals" loose and direct their efforts by offering paths of least resistance.

Would it be any feat of strength to solo an entire Bronze game as a level 1? Almost did it as infiltrator without using items. What crazy things challenges are making me doing.

**Gravath** · 2012-11-09, 09:28 AM

I would say that only soloing Platinum is worth a feat.

**Scorage** · 2012-11-09, 11:27 AM

After some dedication, I managed to max out all my character cards once again. (3 Volus Cards remaining, 1 for adept, 2 for engineer.)

And now, I'm back to the depths of hell as once it has no char cards left to unlock, the RNG returned to Rank 4 consumables. I want gear, weapon mods. RNG says no. Damn I want that High Velocity Barrel for AR...

Geth Soldier feels a bit squishy, but figured to get 6/6/6/5/3 with Stronghold Gear and now I can melt stuff easily in gold. There is a nice damage difference compared to Vorcha at the cost of regeneration. Maybe I can try leaving fortification on 3 to get more shield recharge, but I adjusted myself so far and its fun.

Anyone else feel like a suicide bomber with an Asari Valkyrie btw? (Silence! I KILL YOU!)

No idea how cloud data is supposed to work with regards to importing saves, sorry. :-/ Have you tried copying the save data to your machine and configuring ME3 to pick it up?

There's a config tool somewhere in the ME3 folder. You can use that to set the location of your ME2 saves seeing as it apparently hasn't done it automatically for you.

Hmm . . . though with her and Mark Meer's role as Commander Shepard, I can't see them voicing the protagonist again. Though they might be given other characters.

**Elim Garak** · 2012-11-09, 05:38 PM

Why not? I do not mind her voicing EVERY female protagonist in EVERY game.

Although she can do a non-protagonist (she did a great job voicing Bastila in KotOR) or even the antagonist role too.

Hale could do her Bastilla voice, I'd love that
