Mass Effect 3

[Brill Weave]

I agree. Drell Adept is an offensive powerhouse if used right. I love mine.

[Anton]

Area reave - Cluster Grenade.

That's basically it for mobs weaker than a Brute.

I love grenades, but cluster G is just bjeujueler

[Rhyis.]

By Engineer you mean anything buy Quarian engineer right?

There's nothing wrong with Quarian Engy. Most people don't use a class that has cryoblast, and it's decent crowd control.

[Pendulum]

So I had saved at the point of no return about a week and just got round to finishing now.

Can't believe I fucking stayed up for that.

Drell Adept is a great class. Area Reave and Area Pull you wreak havoc all over the map. With the Drell races make sure you always dodge in and out of cover your dodge grants you a 50% damage reduction, top with Reave-if you max out damage protection of 40%-(which is fully upgraded tech armor) You`re very fast and a durable character and Reave has ridiculous DoT.
Oh and if the Reave sound glitch isn`t fixed, cast pull two times and the sound goes away.

I'll have to try out Area spec next time i level him up.

I do love it, but from time to time I have trouble is dealing with the fact that hes only a little more durable than a paper towel.

[Rhyis.]

Yeah that's my issue with Drell. Maybe I just suck too much to play them.

[Brill Weave]

No it's not just you. You have to be careful as a Drell. You get your shit owned right quick if you're running around out in the open.

[Rhyis.]

Why you gotta call me out on my shitty gaming dawg?

[Anton]

No it's not just you. You have to be careful as a Drell. You get your shit owned right quick if you're running around out in the open.

Exactly - for other adepts, you have Singularity or Stasis. A quick, easily deployable crowd control spell, for when you or someone else walks around a corner and sees a Rocket Trooper.

But for DA, all you have to protect you is Reave's buff. You literally have to Biotic combo yourself through trouble situations, or reave and run. So I maxed Reave and Cluster grenade - if there's a pyro around the corner you reave, then aim at a wall, and CHUCK CHUCK CHUCK! Whether there's one enemy or ten enemies, you can bet there will be alot of dead bodies flying around by the time you're done.

Don't forget - Cluster Grenades detonate Biotic Combos. DA is good on his own, but add an Asari Adept... awwww my gawd Stasis Bubble Explosions everywhere. The trouble is keeping yourself supplied with Nades on Gold - Push is reliable, and you can fling them fast.

As for a gun take something that doesn't weigh much and lets you support. Avenger X makes a decent Rifle, though I prefer Phalanx over Carnifex (my carn is still low, so) for sidearms. SCorpion land mines can be awesome, though. Like a cast-able bullet.

[Brill Weave]

Aw I didn't get either of my packs yet

[Lonely]

Premium Spectre packs so far

#1 Geth pulse rifle I/Asari Adept EXP
#2 Widow II/Carnifex II
#3 Quarian Engi EXP/Widow III
#4 Geth pulse rifle II/Carnifex III

Yup, game loves me. #5 is expected to be more asari EXP and that javelin III upgrade I need so badly....

1. Yes.
2. Depends how complete you want your game to be. The quickest possible playthrough of ME2 will royally shaft you in 3, leaving lots of people dead.
3. Yes, that's almost the point of the series. Shit you did in 1 affects shit you do in 2, shit done in both affects shit in 3. Nothing affects the ending because HERP DERP REAPERS CATALYST ASFDGHJHK.

You could just do a superfast playthrough and then download a save file to import for 3 that'll give you the choices you wanted to make but couldn't be bothered to. I'd say it's worth playing them though, it's not really a huge time investment and it is pretty fucking epic.

Yeah, it's definitely worth playing through the first 2 and 99.99% of the 3rd.

@ the bolded, the quickest possible playthrough of ME2 will leave shepard dead and render the save file unusable for 3 heh

Spoiler: show

If joker's alone (or just him +1 even I think) trying to save you at the end you fall trying to jump onto the shuttle

Just got ME3 on PC ver on Monday... I don't know if I'm ass at the game or what but man I'm constantly scoring either last in games or 2nd to last.
Everyone else is just one shotting stuff and I have to shoot 3-4 times. Am I doing something wrong or do I just need to keep playing and get better weapons? Right now I'm rocking a Phalanx I as my weapon of choice. (mostly because I don't really have anything better)

Just spam the 5k pack until you get all that stuff to X. Avenger is good with adrenaline rush or the turian thing, mantis is good for anything you'd snipe, shuriken is just a fucking beast weapon period, and I don't even remember which pistol it is but umm it's light I think >.>

Once you've got all those you've at least got something functional for golds until you get good stuff, and you'll be tearing shit up on bronze and silver.

Also remember your score doesn't matter much at all, they're all combined at the end anyway, so if you do shit and someone else dominates you both get awesome exp.

What's amazing is just how much will get 1 shot by your plain old normal melee hits once you've got all your buffs stacked up.

I was pretty much giddy with delight after I got the hang of it.

This. A thousand times over, this.

[Mots]

Finally got the Black widow tonight. Its pretty much awesome.

[Kuya]

Maybe one day i will get a widow

[Xanthe]

Maybe one day i will get a widow

This.

On the other hand I was giving Salarian Infiltrator a go last night with a shotgun. It's pretty brutal and I'm only 14 and still no Geth Plasma Shotgun (been using a Katana X with barrel II and choke III). I'm starting to get the hang of shotgun sniping.

[Ragnus]

I have Choke V already. What is this "Shotgun Sniping" you talk about?

[Xanthe]

I have Choke V already. What is this "Shotgun Sniping" you talk about?

Two words: BOOM! Headshot!

Combine the Cloak bonus with a headshot and you can do some heavy damage. Add in GPS' charged shot and things get pretty vicious.

EA this morning announced Mass Effect 3's "Extended Cut" DLC, which adds to the game's ending and will arrive for free at some point this summer. According to the publisher, the content will add "additional cinematic sequences and epilogue scenes," which will apparently offer fans "further clarity to the ending of Mass Effect 3" and "deeper insights into how their personal journey concludes."

The additional content comes as a response to a group of fans who felt the third game ended in an unsatisfactory manner. That outcry apparently had a serious effect at BioWare internally, as project lead Casey Hudson says the team has, "reprioritized [its] post-launch development efforts to provide the fans who want more closure with even more context and clarity to the ending of the game, in a way that will feel more personalized for each player."

No specific information is given about what said content will be, but we sure hope it means we won't see other DLC packs delayed or scrapped as a result. Studio co-founder Ray Muzyka notes,"With the Mass Effect 3: Extended Cut we think we have struck a good balance in delivering the answers players are looking for while maintaining the team's artistic vision for the end of this story arc."

Extended Cut will arrive on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC "this summer."
