Origin is such a POS I swear. Locks my computer up for 5seconds just starting it up.. gave me tons of problems with other games. And now... the only possible way to buy the PC DLC is through that (from what I know) and its not accepting my mastercard info... when it clearly works because I just used it on amazon and steam not even 2 hours ago. If you don't want me buying your DLC that badly I won't (*keeps trying*) BLAAH

 

[ColonialRaptor]

So is anyone who is able to buy a copy of the GMG Mass Effect 3 able to do so and allow me to send them the money via Paypal?

There's so many good ones in this game. I just had a long conversation with a drunk Tali which was really funny and cute .

Where the fuck is Jack on the Citadel? She emailed me and she's nowhere to be found.

How late in the game do you get

Tali?

Still haven't seen her. About to start Tuchanka.

After that mission. Next priority mission I think.

What happens if the reaper ships hit you? game over?

Yes. But the game saves the moment you enter a system, so you can just reload.

 

[Randy Lanzarote]

Ok, last question before I go, I want a sniper rifle. Infiltration class? Or can I choose with any class?

 

[Dresden]

Think I'm 3/4 of the way in now, and so far I've yet to see a side mission as good as Grissom Academy.

 

[bengraven]

I think what I don't like about the character designs is something that's been apparent in lots of games with heavy detail - seeing all the moles and blemishes and dimples on the characters, it's just a bit too much detail for me personally - I prefer stylized looking characters mainly - The Witcher games were like some of the only western RPGs which I felt had attractive characters for some reason (possibly due to general attractiveness of Polish women?). I also think that the skin looks very weird in certain lighting conditions in ME3.

I do agree that ME's skin doesn't look as realistic because they're trying to show the bumps and pores on human skin and it makes a lot of characters look like they have acne scars.

That said, the Witcher games both have some great looking main characters, but the majority of side characters usually not so much. It's like they put most of their female attention on Triss...which is why she's almost scary gorgeous.

She should be in Purgatory.

 

[Pollux]

She should be in Purgatory.

And she's not. glitches are awesome. Oh well, I'll get it on the next play through.

 

[thetrin]

Ok, last question before I go, I want a sniper rifle. Infiltration class? Or can I choose with any class?

Any weapon works with any class. The way they balance now is that the heavier your weapon loadout, the longer your power recharge time. That's why it's recommended that Vanguards carry smaller weapons until they get weight capacity buffs so they can carry an assault rifle at +200% recharge rate.

Mine was pretty late so don't look if you haven't gotten near the last part yet.

(near end part spoilers)

Spoiler

I went to go talk to Garrus and caught him and Tali holding each other. They were super embarrassed which made it even funnier. It came out of nowhere though

There were plenty of good Normandy moments throughout the game though.

So about Liaria's

Spoiler

father, when she and her father are talking I have to walk halfway across the room and come back to hear more of their conversation. Is this happening with anyone else? Also my new favorite line from that conversation: I DO NOT HEADBUTT PEOPLE

 

[HarryHengst]

Im close to the end but

Spoiler

how are you supposed to defeat that ridiculous character of a kai leng (ugh, the game would be better without him)? Especially, he keeps oneshotting me if he grips me. Apparently you can get out of it on the console by mashing B, but on the pc it seems that both space and mouse1 dont work.

 

[Walshicus]

I'd like to know this too, I'm too scared to find out.

You just get the option to reload at the autosave on system entry.

My tactic? Run around the system scan-spamming. Once I know all the locations I let a reaper catch me, reload the mission and swoop in for easy scans. If you're quick you can get into a system with reapers, scan a planet (which pauses reaper progression) and leg it out before they can catch you.

 

[accx]

Would anyone be able to give me some insight on the different classes? I played infiltrator in ME1 and as an adept in ME2 and i would like to try a new one.

I usually enjoy dots, debuffing and micro management, if you could use those terms in ME3.

A quick and dirty explanation between the different classes would suffice. I want to start playing but choosing a class is proving to be difficult.

Thanks!

Uhh, what? When was this?

 

[ColonelColon]

Why is it so... unpolished?

I get the impression that this game might have been rushed, despite the delay. There's at least one blatant, quest-breaking bug (Hanar Diplomat sidequest) where an interactive object could become unusable. I've gotten stuck in Joker and EDI's section of the ship several times. I've also noticed that at times, ambient dialog audio doesn't play when it should. I can' t recall having any issues like this with the first two games in the series.

Yes. I hate the new system.

Does it make a difference where I scan in a system? Should I be close to planets?

Yes, I think war assets are only available at locations that are marked on the galaxy map. Fuel is unmarked, but also not very useful at all, since docking at the Citadel refuels the ship.

Vanguard is such a beast. I'm just destroying Atlas mechs head on with no fear. Untouchable :lol

Vanguard feels like you should be playing drunk. The amount of sheer power and force you have at your fingertips, and the number of times I've healed myself in a bad situation with a giant biotic charge is innumerable.

It's seriously like the biotic angry drunk.

Man, that person is going to crumble when someone real finally dies. Talk about emotional fragility.

So I've restarted the (mid-game)

Go do another one of the side quests in Tuchanka and come back. That might fix it.

Toss up between two:

Garrus in the cockpit with Joker, trading Turian and Alliance jokes back and forth.

"What do you call it when a Turian gets killed by a giant spiky monster?"

"Friendly fire."

and

Liara in her chambers talking with Joker over the comms, who is begging her to tell him if her "head tentacles" can actually move.

You have to mash whatever key you have assigned to melee. I thought that was really dumb too, there's no on-screen prompt for it, and he does it at the immediate start of the fight.
