Disc swapping on the 360 is a bummer though. It's like all side-quests on disc 2, disc 1 for main quest.

Also, I played the last 2 games full renegade, I'm finding it hard to do a lot of the renegade choices in this one because they're too evil instead of just being a hard-ass.

8th disc swap #bothdiscsarefuckinginstalled

Really? After you do the first 4 or so main story missions you shouldn't have to anymore. Didn't switch discs at all yesterday, and I played for like 5 hours.

I get to meet Mark Meer tonight (Voice actor for Shepard).

PC ftw

Will do.

I played in the middle the first time, then tried and eventually achieved full paragon. Sucks they turn his renegade into a psychopath.

...hmmm...can we screw salarians?

I dunno...really love my controller.

Less psychopath, more racist on the renegade path unfortunately.

My female Shepard has been a lesbian since the first game, does that count?

Initial thoughts on the mechanics/dynamics, spoilered in case:

Got it. Love it.

Heart actually racing during a mission there. Holy shit.

Oh gosh, Garrus maybe my favourite character in anything ever now.

Yeah Garrus is an alien you wanna hang with.

This game IS better with Kinect. I have to put the sensor closer to me and shout a little louder but it's awesome not having to bring up the wheel every time you want to issue commands or use a power yourself.

Game is in route to my house via mail, will have it in 2 days.

I was the asshole whos hard drive died and lost all my data.

Can someone who has this create a new chracter from scratch and give me an idea of what kind of Shepard I am going to be rolling with?

Now that I've seen the Prothean character and the stuff he tells you about from when his people fought the reapers. I'm kinda pissed he's DLC. Gives to much info on the reapers to be DLC and not in the game by default.

Saves you can download for ME 1 or 2:

Or, I can email you mine (if they're small enough.) I have a perfect paragon save and a perfect renegade save (minus Legion because I gave him to Cerberus.)

I can't speak to your question but this should help you find a save that was comparable to your decisions from the previous two games.

You get to pick weather or not Ashley, Kaidan, or numerous party members died. That's all you can do from the character creation.

Wouldn't be a Bioware game unless something went wrong but the studio is working on fixing the import Sheppard feature that has been giving problems to almost everyone.

Apparently you can't just import straight from Mass Effect 1 nor from Mass Effect 2 and if you didn't make any changes or use the demo to update your character, it wouldn't be importable to Mass Effect 3.

Also confirmed is cloud saves from Mass Effect 2 are not compatible with Mass Effect 3. This one probably won't be fixed any time soon or even at all.

Works fine on PC.

I have the import problem. It's horrible and I hope they fix it soon, I won't be playing ME3 till it's fixed.

It doesn't for everyone.

:-\

The article doesn't specifically mention PC users so I just assumed it was a problem with the console ports.

That's a huge bummer though. I really wouldn't want to play without importing.

I imported my character fine all I had to change was the face which I use the default Shepard anyway and my class. All my decisions stood and even the right crew members that died stayed dead.

Looks like Iop went to get the game
 

Big spoilers here. Do not read if you aren't past Tuchanka.

It's here, it's queer and it's going to take up the majority of my time for the next few days.

Holy shit

:lol: Bioware is being accused of using a lot of fan-made and stock images for certain screens in the game.

The spoiler involves Tali.



I think the trailer or intro to the game also has images that were blatantly taken from stock images and fan art.

One annoying thing, my multiplayer characters from the demo didn't transfer over. Going to have to rebuild my level 20 engineer now, yaaay.

Is there a comic that explains what happened between ME2 and ME3? I kind of figured Shep would have just kept his ship and went around preparing for the coming war.

No comic and the only reason it was done for ME 2 was because of ME 2 debuting on the PS3 and Microsoft owning the rights to the first game.

Only reason the comic was made for the Xbox 360 was to generate some extra money as a DLC piece and try to bring in new Xbox 360 owners to the series if they didn't play ME1 or didn't want to have to spend 20+ hours to finish the first game just to have stats carry over to ME 2.
