Mass Effect 3

[Treize]

It will arrive tomorrow.

[Tankfriend]

Interesting read about some more sidecontent that was apparently cut/never finished.

[Treize]

It has arrived!

[Legio]

What has arrived? Your copy of the game?

Yes.

Today I got myself a Ukash card to pay for the DLC...
So I go to Origin, select From Ashes, select Ukash and press confirm order or whatever it is called in English, then I get a loading pop-up saying 'Loading... One moment...' and it just stays loading... They won't link me to the external payment site, the page won't open. It just freezes.

So first they don't accept normal payment options and then when I get one of them obscure payment methods it freezes. FML.

Haha, Belltower?

[florin87]

Belltower? ApostleCorp? lol at the Deus ex references

[The Dude]

And isn't Veidt Enterprises from Watchmen?

[PGeo36]

Rakata Bank from KotOR, lol

[ggggtotalwarrior]

I knew Rakata at least.....

So... I have just spent my little one week holiday no-lifing this game.
I just made a bit of a mistake. I did not save between killing Kail Leng and going to London...
I realised that I should have gotten the readiness up BEFORE landing, I thought I could still do it before the final part with the Catalyst but I might be able to get a better cutscene with the fleet...

I have plenty of war assets* but I have readiness at 50%.

Did all sidemissions except for a couple of them that I was unable to complete after priority: tuchanka (such as saving the wet squad and speaking with liara's dad for the commando's), cured genophage, saved geth and quarians, scanned for every damn missing frigate, squad or crucible tech out there and I got everyone loyal in ME2 and got the Zhu's Hope Colonist militia.

I got like 3600+ EMS now but I need to get it over 94000.

[The Dude]

Well in the end there's not much you need war assets for at all, so I don't know. I had 3700 EMS on my first playthrough and noticed no difference with a later playthrough in which I had 7000.

The reason for that obviously being that there is none.

[Tankfriend]

As stated several times, the only difference you can get with 4000+ or 5000+ EMS is the "Shepard breathes" scene when you pick "Destroy/Red coloured explosion" (and only that one has the scene).

[Treize]

I thought he was still alive with 4000+...
So I screwed up as I had only slightly over 4000 when I just completed the game.

Also Cortez died. Which is kind of gay. No pun intended.

Also, why the hell is the Normandy doing a mass relay jump while they should be shooting reapers around the citadel?! That part I hate, I hate the destruction of the relays which kind off screws the universe and I hate commiting genocide against the Geth.

[Beregond]

welcome to the club, mate

[Treize]

I know, I know.

And I have the feeling BioWare is going to scew up with the upcoming DLC as well.
The only good solution would be that the alive ending is Shepherd waking op from another nightmare (would explain why that THING looked like the child from earth/the nightmares) or something.

[Tankfriend]

I thought he was still alive with 4000+...

Shepard only is alive with 4000+ EMS if you manage to keep TIM from killing Anderson (who dies later, anyway) and you choose "Destroy". If either of this isn't true, Shepard won't survive. If you have 5000+ EMS, you don't have to worry about Anderson, but that's all.

Also: Marauder Shields, Episode 21.
Things are still getting more interesting.
