Topic: Unofficial Mass Effect series fan thread

So I've been on a Mass Effect binge these past few days, and was wondering who else out there is a Mass Effect fan as well? I did a search and couldn't find a topic like this, so sorry if one already exists and I missed it.

Anyway, who else out there is a fellow Spectre?

Which game are you playing right now.

I played through both as a paragon sheapard using soldier class. Was able to keep everyone alive in both games. Just need to play the Arrival to gear up for ME3.

how did you keep EVERYONE alive? someone has to die on virmire if I'm not mistaken, I'm currently playing ME2 with my paragon (mostly) engineer, the only other classes I've really played so far are soldier and vanguard

Im commander shepard and this is my favourite thread on the citadel

and no yasha either ashely or kaiden dyes when you make a choice you cant keep everyone alive

2 people can die in the first mass effect but its not both characters i mention above but im sure you already knew that

as for the second game thats subjective i advise caution and carefull decision making

Well beyond the Virime Part where i let Kaiden die.

ah, I let Kaiden die on my solider and engineer, and Ashley on my vanguard, I've never had someone die on the suicide mission, I'm well aware of how the mechanics for that works, I rig it just right so even unloyal squad memebers can survive (I usually have everyone's loyalty, but I've done it with a disloyal Zaeed before)

and @BlackFira, I'm familiar with how Wrex can die on virmire as well, but I usually have my paragon score high enough that I can talk him down, in fact, I can talk myself of a lot of stuff, whenever I can't do that, I just start shooting my vanguard has been able to single handedly take out a Geth Colossus with nothing more than a pistol in the first game on insanity

win

cant wait for mass effect 3 being ps3 as my main multiplat to buy games on it for i decided to buy me2 again in the hopes of replicating the choices if i could remeber it lol on my 360 version since it was sort of console exclusive at the time i dont think i did well lol

so i said screw it i'll just buy the 3rd one for the 360 instead and continue off my perfect first time save file, its pretty hard to copy your first time experince

Yep This game was one of the reasons got a 360 and the game that made me believe in HD gaming. Got the Platinum edition that came with "bring down the sky" DLC.

"We Hold the Line" may just be my favorite moment in gaming.

same here knowing my causual pc ish wouldnt handle the second one properly i made getting a 360 months before the second game came out a must get

especially when the PS3 version is simply lacking some of the main choices of the original PC and xbox versions

that is such an epic line, Captain Kirrahe for the win!

I actually have the PC version, as I don't have an Xbox or PS3, slightly different in the combat interface but overall the same game, I have every single piece of DLC exept for Pinnacle station too

well you get the comic for the first game in the second game giving you a choices to choose that majorly will effect the third game plus one way or another it was essiental for the second game

i believe you got an update for a comic choices for the pc version if one didnt want to play the first one

you can do genesis to make a lot of the choices, but only the major ones, the mission on feros (among other things) isn't even MENTIONED in genesis, which does effect some portions of ME2, and probably 3, so while genesis helps, I don't consider it anywhere CLOSE to ME

true, so what do you think of the multiplayer stuff they decided to add in for the third game?

I'm interested, if it's implemented right it could be really cool, I would totally be going nuts playing it online, lol

i read somewhere that this was already planed since the first ME

honestly I'm surprised they hadn't done it yet, should be really cool though, I'm looking forward to playing as non-human characters online

well im guessing theres going to be a horde mode which i'll probably play that the most lol

interesting... according to the wiki...

"There will be multiple ways to interact with Galaxy at War that will affect the Galactic Readiness rating. Aside from cooperative multiplayer, additional interfaces on iOS and Facebook are planned, each with their own "hooks"."
