Help me out here. I'm losing sleep over where to put the mandatory N7 on my new car. I was gonna go with the back somewhere, maybe just to the left of the right tail-light? But there's this flat section on the front fender that might look pretty good.

I know I'm overthinking it but I don't want to get it wrong. Please help, the galaxy may or may not be at stake.

As the title suggests, I think we have been told too much about them. I wanted to look at some lore videos but then noticed, that the games have demystified them. We know nearly everything about them. How they are made, who made them and how old they are.

If they return in 5, what are we supposed to see? Am I missing something?

MASS EFFECT 3 The Marauder Shields moment is my least favorite gameplay in any game I’ve played

202 Upvotes

Finally trying an insanity run and I think I’m not going to finish it at the last moment. What the hell are devs thinking?

“Oh wouldn’t it be cool if the final scene is you super wounded in what’s essentially a quick time event. Wouldn’t it be cool if you have none of your powers and can’t aim and the hardest part of the hardest play though is killing one final basic enemy.”

I don’t typically enjoy playing games on the highest difficulty but I wanted to 100% the legendary edition. This alone might stop me, and it sucks. I genuinely don’t think they could have made this part less fun. It’s not even fun and challenging. It’s tedious as all hell. I know obviously some people have beaten it but this alone shouldn’t be the part that holds back a play through. Especially when you can probably go through the entire campaign barely using a gun at all, let alone needing 100% accuracy headshots

Mass Effect is the best game I have ever played.

Thank you all for reading and giving me advices in my last posts.

Wow, what a difference it makes. I'm not a purist, don't get me wrong; just lazy and don't like having to manually comb through sort orders/compatibility issues.

Also, it's a bit upsetting how much dialog was clearly removed from the game or had bugged out!

DISCUSSION Most Satisfying Moments Spoiler

18 Upvotes

What are your most satisfying moments in all of the games?

Here are my top 5 (off the top of my head; I'm sure it's likely a different list, if I took longer to think about it):

5 - Telling off the Council every chance I get. I always choose the bottom right options with them, no matter how Paragon or not my Shepard might be.

4 - Killing Kai Leng (and, really, just all Cerberus soldiers in ME3).

3 - Watching the Normandy get the killing blow on Sovereign.

2 - Brokering peace between the Geth and Quarians.

1 - Curing the Genophage.

Just finished the Omega DLC as an Engineer. I really enjoyed the little Paragon interrupt you get.

Kind of wish they had been able to stick in little moments like that for each class, whether it be in that DLC, other DLCs, or in the main story.

MASS EFFECT 3 My thoughts on Priority: Citadel II

I was a little hyped about this guy Kai Leng, but in the end the guy is so jobber a terminally ill drell was able to give him pause (if Thane was the same from ME2, he may have killed him). I lost respect for him already.

And I saw Udina was a traitor since the first game. I mean, this guy was so obvious.... I killed him, no remorse. Good thing Kaidan listened to reason.

MASS EFFECT 3 Fellow Infiltrators, what Sniper Rifles are you using?

5 Upvotes

So, I've been playing through the game on Insanity as an Infiltrator, and I've been having a blast. It's my second playthrough overall- the first one was as a Vanguard, so I wanted to go as far in the opposite direction as I could. It's fun playing as a glass cannon type, popping enemy heads with headshots all around me.

However, I feel like I'm missing out on things. More specifically, on weapon variety. As Vanguard, I've tried many shotguns and found value in most of them, even if I didn't actually use some. Sniper rifles, though? I simply don't get the use of anything other than a "one shot - one kill" type of sniper rifle. I first found it in ME1, where, despite faster-firing snipers nominally having much higher dps, they didn't feel nearly as good to use, as I would need to land several headshots in a row to down an enemy. This continued in ME2 - I geniunely tried using Incursor and Viper, but they simply aren't as reliable, so I stuck with the starter Mantis until I got the M-98 Widow (my beloved). And now I'm starting ME3, got to the Citadel, and got every Sniper I could - Indra, Krysae, Harpoon gun, and Viper - yet still find myself not interested in any of them except the starting Mantis. They either have lower damage, not enough to one-shot weaker enemies, or some gimmick with their projectiles, both of which makes them much less convenient to use. Right now all I can think of is to save up money for the Black Widow, maybe switching to the proper M-98 Widow later on (I'll see).

I get that there's nothing wrong with just sticking to one playstyle I like. But I still wanted to hear others' opinions on this. What are your favorite Sniper Rifles and why? Is there something I missed with the models I described above? Or are there other sniper rifles coming up I should pay attention to? Javelin seems promising, but I'm most interested in Valiant. Is that thing worth 250k?

DISCUSSION The Next Mass Effect Game's Chances

4 Upvotes

With all the stuff happening with Bioware and EA, between the Saudi takeover and the fact that Bioware seems like a very low priority studio to the seemingly cancelled Tv Series, do you think the next Mass Effect will even be released at all?
To me it feels like we're just waiting for the cancellation and studio closure announcement. But hopefully that's me being pessimistic

I've always hated them, and I would just ignore hammerhead-related content, but it's required to complete Overlord. Can't find anything on the Nexus, but I could just be using the wrong search terms. Surely by now somebody would have made a mod to remove the hammerhead parts from Overlord.

Hi! I am currently trying to mod MELE, but the ME3Tweaks Mod Manager isn't Working as I hoped for when it comes to attempting to get the mods. I've never modded ME before, so it became really complex to do it, since I've basically only played it on console, and once on PC.
