Jack ME3 artwork.

[collapse= Spoilers obviously]

[/collapse]

Aw, you beat me first. I really like the new design though.

I did.

And I just recruited Jack, she kinda scares me.

She'll grow on you.

 

[mood4food77]

her new design is pretty schweet

 

[LivewiresXe]

Yeah, though I guess there's a small storyline spoiler in the art work description listed there? Hmm...that reminds me, I'm going to have to wait until after I beat the game to flip through some stuff of the art book, I suppose.

 

[F8AL]

Lol have fun.

Why is the Council a bunch of *******s? I ****ing saved their ***** at the end of ME1 and now I kinda regret it.

"Oh, thanks for saving us but we still don't believe you that the Reapers actually exist."

WTF!!!

She may be a bit scary at first, but she's actually a good character overall. Though...I never use her default outfit when using her. For some reason it just seems...weird as it's well, almost not even an outfit,l ol.

I'm not a fan of tattoos.

her new design is pretty schweet

New design?

And I'm currently at the mission where you have to recruit Archangel who is really

Spoiler

Garrus.

:O

 

[LivewiresXe]

Not a fan of tats? I dunno, a little bit of ink can actually be pretty cool on a girl, lol.

 

[Pluvia]

F8AL you wont need to spoiler ME2 info, we all only do it for you in the first place.

And it's like you never noticed the council have always been completely useless.

 

[F8AL]

I'll stick with Miranda, Tali or Kelly.

o okay then.

And I wish they'd get off their stupid ***** and ****ing help me instead of sitting around and doing nothing all day. Stupid good-for-nothing people.

And Udina should stop being a lil ***** IMO.

 

[LivewiresXe]

Well, please tell me you were smart enough NOT to make Udina Councillor, right?

 

[F8AL]

Well, please tell me you were smart enough NOT to make Udina Councillor, right?

No, I made Anderson Councillor.

 

[LivewiresXe]

Ah, all right then.

I guess my next question is, in ME1 how many times did you disconnect the Council?

 

[Master Xanthan]

Not a fan of tats? I dunno, a little bit of ink can actually be pretty cool on a girl, lol.

Jack is so unattractive that a bag on her head would make her look more attractive.

 

[F8AL]

Ah, all right then.

I guess my next question is, in ME1 how many times did you disconnect the Council?

None, that would be rude.

Jack is so unattractive that a bag on her head would make her look more attractive.

QFT.

 

[Pluvia]

So I just realised why they made (big squadmate spoilers)

Spoiler

EDI (random spaces)

a squaddie. It's so that there will be a guaranteed tech specialist in the 3rd game, and (ME2 spoilers)

Spoiler

Liara

and Vega are guaranteed to be there too, so that's Biotics and Combat sorted.

Makes sense now.

 

[F8AL]

Jack is so rude:

"**** you and thanks for asking."

 

[Grey Belnades]

Jack is so rude:

"**** you and thanks for asking."

Not sure if you've done her Loyalty Mission yet but you'll see why she's like that.

 

[LivewiresXe]

Oh, also, one piece of advice. When you do one of her or Miranda's Loyalty missions...wait a LONG darn time before doing the other one. That's uh...not too spoiler-y is it?

 

[Pluvia]

Actually because of the way the coding works it's better if you do it as soon as possible, the later you leave it the harder it is.

 

[LivewiresXe]

Are you sure? I always left it a bit because I maxed out my class first due to the Paragon bonuses being at 100% with the one evolution at the end. Plus...with classes like Sentinel, the "-30% recharge time" is just sooo hard to resist.

 

[Pluvia]

The choice depends out how much paragon (or renegade) points you could have achieved up until that point, not on how much points you actually have. So if you could have only achieved 1000 points up until that stage, and you have 700, then you'll pass, whereas if you leave it for later you could have achieved 1200 points at that stage, and if you only have 700 you'll fail.

It's complicated, but basically all major paragon and renegade situations are easier the earlier you do them. You can have a maxed out bar at the side and still fail them because the bar means nothing.

 

[Evil Eye]

Is it going to be like that in ME3? Because... I despised that. Gimme a damn stat I can throw points into if I lag behind and run it on a grand total instead of punishing me for playing a three dimensional character.

Hopefully Bioware won't leave it the same and just be all

 

[F8AL]

Not sure if you've done her Loyalty Mission yet but you'll see why she's like that.

Nope, not yet. I don't think I'll ever like her tho. =/

Really?

Who do I believe? D:

 

[Master Xanthan]

I did Jack's loyalty mission and I still don't like her. Like I said, she needs to wear a bag.

 

[F8AL]

Jack is probably one of the most unattractive characters in a video game which I've had the displeasure of meeting.

 

[Pluvia]

They don't all need to be attractive. Miranda is a designer baby so it's understandable for her, but it'd get a bit tedious if Shepard went around picking up super models to save the galaxy with.

 

[F8AL]

I actually like the new way of collecting minerals in ME2, much easier and less tedious than driving around and going over huge hills/mountains to find the stashes like in ME1.

 

[LivewiresXe]

Believe me, that'll get old after a while.

Also, in terms of who to believe? I guess believe Pluvia. He's been into the Mass Effect series I'd imagine a good 2 years longer than me, and since we're probably talking about the 360 version, I'd say go with what he says.

 

[Pikaville]

I just realised I'm gonna have to play both games again if I want to have ME3 be the way I want it to be.

Might just do a easiest mode run through of both and be as evil as possible while keeping the ones I want alive.

Spoiler

For example the council MUST die in my file, I had done it before but I forgot I started again as a paragon and my ME2 file wasn't how it should have been as result

 

[Master Xanthan]

They don't all need to be attractive. Miranda is a designer baby so it's understandable for her, but it'd get a bit tedious if Shepard went around picking up super models to save the galaxy with.

Yeah but Jack's personality also sucks. When a character has neither good looks or a likable personality, well there's just nothing appealing.

 

[theeboredone]

I thought Miranda to be ugly despite being voiced (and modeled?) by Yvonne Strahovski. The only "attractive" girl I see is Kelly.

In any case, the paragon/renegade point system works by determining how many you could have possibly obtained of either side. So chances are, the longer you wait to do certain tasks that require a higher % of "x" count, the harder it will be. So it's better to do some missions ASAP if you want to make the choice you want.

 

[sakuraZaKi]

I was interested in Miranda, but she looked more like a doll to me in ME2. Tbh, I didn't really like anyone. I was a bro in ME1 and 2.

Except for Tali.

 

[F8AL]

I've noticed that I've been getting more renegade points in this game then I did in ME1.

 

[Pluvia]

Yeah but Jack's personality also sucks. When a character has neither good looks or a likable personality, well there's just nothing appealing.

Can't blame her though. It takes a lot less than that to mess up people, just look at a lot of bullies, she's actually quite polite for what she's been through i'd say.

 

[LivewiresXe]

I've noticed that I've been getting more renegade points in this game then I did in ME1.

Some situations give both Renegade and Paragon points. And there are some situations where it just seems smart to be Renegade like that one in Arcangel's recruitment mission, and the one in Kasumi's loyalty mission (I mean really, I can't be the only one who can't resist THAT Renegade interrupt, namely with how amusing she finds it).

 

[mood4food77]

the krogan renegade where the guy just won't shut up, YOU have to do the renegade there, it's ****ing awesome

 

[F8AL]

Okay, the whole gas thing in ME2 is stupid, I hate having to refuel every time I go somewhere.

Oh, and spending those credits impedes your abilities to buy stuff.

 

[F8AL]

Oh, and spending those credits impedes your abilities to buy stuff.

I know.

And what would happen if you ran out of credits/minerals and you also ran out of gas? You'd be stuck there forever since there's no infinite credits.

 

[LivewiresXe]

I know.

And what would happen if you ran out of credits/minerals and you also ran out of gas? You'd be stuck there forever since there's no infinite credits.

I think it just says "we are out of fuel" and warps you back to the nearest Mass Relay with a quarter tank. I could be wrong though.

 

[F8AL]

I regret picking the Vanguard now, I asked my friend about the weapons and I can only use the single and 3 burst pistols, shotgun and rocket launcher.

I liked it in ME1 where I could use everything.

 

[sakuraZaKi]

Lol, you'd regret picking anything but soldier then. But more power to 'ya.
