Mass Effect 3

[Anoat]

Question about ME2. I picked up the PS3 version (in preparation of 3 since I'm hopping on the bandwagon) and was just curious about the little ME1 comic included. If I understand it right, I still make certain decisions during the comic that affects my ME2 playthrough. Is there anything I should avoid doing? Don't wanna accidentally kill off a character that might have been useful during ME2.

You can choose whether or not Wrex was killed, and you pick between whether Kaidan or Ashley ordered up a megaton sandwich with extra cheese on Virmire. And if you killed the Council or not. Also if you killed the Rachni Queen or not. And if you banged Ashley/Kaidan/Liara. I think thats it.

Is there a guide that says what choice does what? Or does it say basic crap like "Save Wrex or Let Wrex die"?

the mass effect wiki has some detailed explanations that will be spoilery...if you don't mind that.

The wrex one literally says: "Save wrex" or "kill wrex" iirc.

Also, all of them are very self explanatory. Who you bang = whoever you want to bang, kaidan or ashley dies = whoever you like less (i hated ashley that bitch), save the council or let the council die (to save humans or something), save the rachni race or destroy them. None of them matter very much. Just personal choices.

Played through ME1 several times and I let Ashley get the bomb every time. You did the right thing man.

Not that it's been discussed much recently in here, but I cannot stand Jennifer Hale as Shepard. I like her in a ton of other roles. When she is doing Shep's voice, to me it sounds like there is almost no "acting" She just sounds perpetually bored. Yet people are obsessed with her. That's most of her roles actually. Sometimes she'll put on an accent or whatever, but it's usually a plain ass voice.

Mark Meer on the other hand, is great. I'd love to see this dude do some other stuff. He's a stand up comedian, I think. He puts a bit of effort into his Shep, and I genuinely lol with some of his lines.

Sad to hear, been very tempted to do a fem run through just because Jennifer Hale is one of my favorite voice actors in the MGS series.

People say exactly the opposite of what you're saying.

[noblemountain]

I like both actors quite a bit, but I feel like femshep is much superior to broshep in the voice acting category. Watching my gf play through 1+2 now and femshep is awesome.

Omg.. they must be right! A fool I have been.

Why you getting butthurt when i'm spitting facts?

I've heard the same, people say femshep has better VA. But broshep is just too much of a sarcastic asshole to not play.

[Tyrath]

Yeah, broshep is a badass. Plus, I didn't feel like sleeping with guys when I started the game (the bi kelly option wasnt available then).

[Odesseiron]

What now? If sarcasm is the new butthurt, consider me butthurt

[Kuya]

I just want to know why me stating a commonly known fact makes you fly off the handle flipping tables and punching old ladies.

Because renegade broshep is my idol. I strive to be like him.

I'm going to be "that guy" and say I think Hale does the better job. 3/4 of my play-throughs are with femshep. Meer is a good Shep but just not as engaging to me. /shrug No right or wrong answer. Power to the brosheps and femsheps alike. Shepard is a bad ass either way.

[Anoat]

I think male Shep is a better Renegade and fem shep is a better Paragon. I was starting up a new femshep run through starting with ME1 to have another character for ME3, but I got distracted by Skyrim and The Old Republic and I don't think I'll get to it before ME3 comes out.

From 1/23/12 - 2/20/12, when you pre-order a copy of The Art of Mass Effect Universe, you will receive a code to download extra game content for Mass Effect 3. This will include the collector's rifle, among other cool content to beat out your opponents.

Apparently not content with having you buy bottles of Mountain Dew to get Mass Effect 2 DLC, it seems EA and BioWare have gone one step further, bundling download content packs for Mass Effect 3 with its official line of action figures. Store listings note that each of the eight Mass Effect 3 figures - ones for Miranda, Garrus, Legion, Tali, Mordin, Grunt, Default Male Shepard, and Thane - will come with a code that can be redeemed for DLC on the North American Xbox 360 and PC versions of the game. No word was given regarding the PS3 version.

According to the BioWare store page, the content itself will be "slightly randomized during the registration and could include powerful new weapons and new characters. The pack could also include character boosters, weapon modifications, and weapon upgrades to make your multi-player squad stronger." I guess that "slightly randomized" bit should keep folks from just copying the codes and disseminating them, which was exactly what happened with the Mountain Dew tie-ins.
