I meant like a paper comic. I just want to know how Shep went from where he was at the end of ME2 to now.

Oh in that case, yes there is one coming up although don't know the date.

Just checked and its supposed to come on April 4 and is called Mass Effect: Homeworlds.

ME: Invasion was the previous one that was a 4-part series and ended on January.

Gonna wait till all the DLC is out before I get this.

escaping from reaper ships and still getting all the loot is laughably simple

Even if you do et caught, just a simple resume and you're in that syste.

I do like that the Reapers are nice enough to wait for you to scan a planet and just wait inches away from you.

Getting this for Xbox 360 tomorrow! I've read about the importing glitch. Can I still import all of my decisions from the first 2 games? I don't mind rebuilding my Shepard's looks because I pretty much remember where all the sliders go.

Decisions mostly seem to be fine apart from some of mine from ME1 don't seem to have carried over. Not seen much else from anyone else apart from appearance.

So based on my playthrough of the demo I figured my first playthrough was gonna be the action one.

Do you still make choices on that one? or is it a set path on your decisions from the other 2 games.

End of game spoilers. Beware

the game did not give me an option to play tactically or what ever...

What do you mean by that Destor?

It's in the options.


Was it ever mentioned in previous ME games why all the aliens speak English (or whatever language the game is set to)? I feel like I remember learning about it in a codex entry but I'm not sure.

Yeah I think it says in a codex. Some sort of instant translator built into their omnitools or something.

Spoiler tags just in case someone (FA) hasn't played the games to that point

Pretty sure you pick it right up front when you start the game.

I just assumed universal translators ala Star Trek.


That might be true.

So I dunno.

All the aliens use translators. It's mentioned in the codex, it's also mentioned in the Shadow Broker DLC on Tali's profile.

Did they come up with something better than mining for resources in this one?

You still scan planets but it's a more stream lined process. Basically you fly the Normandy through a system and ping. Once your scans pick something up you fly to it, scan once, and retrieve the item. It's either a quest item, intel (which is used via a terminal on the Normandy for upgrades), or credits. It's a much better system. The system in ME2 was unnecessarily mundane.

So it's basically like ME 1 without touching down on any planets?

So finally got to the one mission we were talking about:

Omg Blasto 6

I don't know if I would rather see that or Elcors performing Shakespeare.

Speaking of which, haven't seen one Elcor yet

Not to spoil anything, but the DLC from ME2 has been paying off for me in dividends. Glad I bought it all.

KATSUMI!!!!!

Bought it, getting ready to start it up, just waiting for the From Ashes DLC to download from Xbox Live. Goodbye entire weekend!

There's a system called "Skepsis" :|

"Prothy the Prothean":rofl:

When they asked Javik if he had any knowledge on the weapon they were building, I was hoping he would say something along the lines of "That's not a weapon. You guys are building a giant statue of a Prothean phallus. What the hell is wrong with you people?"

badassfully
