The way the system should have worked is that each quest is in a different category. Citadel quests in the Citadel category and side-quests in the Side Quest category. Now it is just guessing which is which.

COME ON POST. COME ON. COME ON YOU BITCH.
Amazon have just emailed me codes for the N7 Warfare Gear. So tantalising if I don't get it today!

Something as simple as updating a secondary quest with "YOU FOUND THE FUCKING ARTEFACT STOP LOOKING" would be immeasurably helpful. As it is the quest look completely fails to keep to track of any advancements in a quest. If you're not paying attention to what you've found, you can very easily lose track of who needs what.
Is Grunt supposed to end up
after his mission? Never found him there.
Yeah the journal is a complete mess, particularly having to remember which random item you picked for whatever random fetch quest.

Downloading From Ashes. AW YEAH, taking it in the ass from EA, like a pro. The DLC is 628.18MB, so I don't know why people were bitching about in dev stuff being in the demo files.
Definitely. It's a mess of random quests, in no orderly fashion.
Exactly. I've learned to pay attention, and memorize some key words. But I really hate that I have to, in order to keep track.

I asked that before, and no. The game kinda made it seem like he does, but he's not.
And yeah. It's worsened by the attention to detail on the war assets, which continually update with every change made from your questing. I like it for lore, but it's functionally less useful than having the damn quest log update.

what really upsets me is that ME2 did this perfectly, but apparently they had to mix it up for ME3 and make things a bit more vague.

Anyone who has not ventured hours past the main quest should not read this but I am wondering about something.
That thresher maw on Tuchanka. While the whole mission was incredible, it did made me think how in the world the other thresher maws came onto other planets in Mass Effect 1. If she is the mother of all thresher maws that would mean all the other are her offspring. Maybe I am overthinking but I can not help it.

This is only a companion spoiler so I'll just link the URL, but the decoy seems to be missing a head...

Does this upset people? Is there another thread about this? I haven't seen the picture myself yet because I didn't want to spoil it... but I have a feeling it might just upset me.
Well?

Yeah... I emailed him about that.
I like the guy, but he's made very clear he's not a fan of the Mass Effect series. Which apparently makes it okay for him to spoil a certain thing people have been waiting years for.
His response to me;
"I really figured
the unmasking
Note: Can't say I care much as I'm a renowned Tali hater.
Ah, strange. Oh well.
And is it just me or is dialogue with Vega extremely rare? I don't take him on missions so I don't hear him comment there, and on the ship he doesn't say much. He does have one-liners post-mission but Shep rarely seems to respond back as he does with the others. And Vega hasn't had anything new to say at the Purgatory bar for a while now.
I hear some are blowin' their tops.
I think she looks a little too human. I can understand Bioware's intentions, trying to play it safe to avoid a reaction out of some of some of their more crazy fans—that they got anyways! XD
What bothers her fans more? That she looks too human? Or that Bioware chose to use some stock photo they dug up on the interwebz?

6-8 hours in, sidequest spoiler question:
For Grunt's mission, I decided to leave the rachni queen to die assuming Grunt was a goner if I didn't. Found out later from a friend that he had Grunt survive even with saving the queen. Will I be missing much down the road or is it a simple war asset type thing? Krogan > Rachni so I'm ok if its an either or scenario.

Thanks.
Question for GAF, am I the only one who plays with female squad mates exclusively as RealShep?
Don't remember anything about that. But I'm not as deep into the ME lore as others are.
This thread is good entertainment to keep me occupied until I get to play it some more soon. Got to the Citadel for the 2nd time and I'm going explore the hell out of it.

I'm loving the character interaction in this so far.
When should I do From Ashes?
I had a
very touching scene with Ashley last night. The hospital scene. It was so nice.

Probably not the best decision, but I've been waiting for
Ashley to get back into my party before I tackle it.
Also, your avatar terrifies me.

FUUUUCK. Guy at front desk says nothing has come yet. He's a bit half-soaked though, so no idea if the post has or hasn't come yet.

Question regarding romancing Liara, mid game or so spoilers;
The way it was presented made it seem like I hadn't really established the relationship, at least not to the extent I thought it had been. It triggered the "Rekindle or start a relationship" achievement, but yeah. Did anybody else under similar circumstances have the same response from Liara, or was my game borking up?
lol alien dating sims
When you meet with her again on the Presidium, and she reminisces about her upbringing, the dialogue is a bit weird. Like, her referring to the moment with Shepard as one shared between friends, and me having to state that I'd like more than that. She'd kissed me earlier on the ship, we'd had our little moment in the captain's cabin, and when we met on Mars she treated me as the lover.

Question about AShley
When do i get her back after she got injured and promoted to spectre?
Quick question about a couple minor sidequests. Could someone give me a hint on where to go for the Citadel power supply and other improvement one? I have no goddamn clue what to do for those two and they're the only two sidequests I might be able to do before I tackle Tuchanka.

Savages should be kept off the Citadel.
Cool. Thanks for that. I search those pretty thoroughly but the codex doesn't even give a vague hint about those two. Others at least have planet names. I guess I can just move on to some other missions once I get done with work.

Just so you know,
if you miss picking them up in the N7 missions you can find the parts available for sale on the Citadel. But they wont be up for purchase until you do the missions.
Copy 'n pastin' this from a prior post, since I edited it in kind of late, and was worried that it'd be missed:
Finished the Tuchunka mission earlier this morning.
I gotta ask though, are there major repercussions for any of the Paragon decisions you've made throughout the trilogy? There was that e-mail I got about
[EDIT] - Please note, that I'm not asking to be spoiled here. It was more rhetorical, but if you've gotta answer, don't give me any specifics, please.
Finished the Tuchunka mission earlier this morning.
Man, "Vigil" startin' up in the background as the cure spreads around, and Mordin's noble sacrifice... I almost teared up. If they had his original voice actor singin' as he went out, that just may have done it.
I gotta ask though, are there major repercussions for any of the Paragon decisions you've made throughout the trilogy? There was that e-mail I got about
Rana Thanoptis, but with the warning your Renegade-inclined squadmate gives you after allowing her to leave Korlus in ME2, you can't help but seeing something like that coming. I just assumed that if she tried to do somethin' in ME3, I'd be able to deal with it as it came... But, if they only bother to give you an e-mail about it, I'll assume it's not that huge of a loss.
Odd that she turned out to be indoctrinated though, showed no signs of it...

Now I'm worried about my game too... Maybe the Liara romance is bugged somehow. Haven't gotten to this part yet, so we'll see how it goes.

You'll be fine. I had this too. She's just backing off a bit, and will come forward again in another more definitive scene later.
I just wrote this opinion piece on ME3 and the series in general:

ABout 10 hours in. Such an amazing game so far. Its rare i get emotionally invested in the outcome of a game. I just cant stop playing it and i really dont want it to end.
Say what you want about bioware, but they know how to create fun games with lots of polish and a real reason to make you want to keep playing.

Just it's position in the war. From my understanding, Russia was hit the hardest. It's a large country that got devastated, and something like a 3rd of all WW2 deaths were Russian.
