Tale

I think you just misclicked. Her bonus power is domination. Like AI Hacking, but for people. Which was pretty awesome.

Lots of them are back at denial. Remember that Kubler-Ross doesn't have to follow the order it's listed in. The current popular theory is that Bioware implemented a fake ending. Y'know, to simulate the player being indoctrinated. And they'll release the real ending as a surprise. Because that's sane.

Yeah, that's an autosave. I crashed in the final sequence, booted it back up, hit "resume" and was back at that spot.

Considering they ended with I'm not expecting them to stick to any one theme anytime soon.

30ly/d is Reaper speed. 12 ly/d is Alliance speed. Lifespan shouldn't be half as problemantic as resources. Only the Quarians are repared for long term travel.

About the ending

Nobody so far has reported anything even at 4000 EMS with only the default 50% modifier. 1500 more seems unlikely.

Pop, I think you make a good point in the idea that ending DLC would open up some doors better off closed with regards to what is acceptable as DLC. But I also think that if they were rushed, as I agree it would seem, then Bioware probably isn't all too satisfied with the endings either. I wouldn't put my money on an ending revision being released as DLC, but I couldn't discount it completely given that.

I don't think saying what essentially amounts to "there is no ending at all, because it isn't real" is giving Bioware any credit. I think they just consider the endings that do exist would be better off if they did not exist.

I'd hardly call a "nice" end.

Got the Game of Thrones season one Blu-Ray. Trying to finish up Farscape before I hit that up.

No, they still had it randomly. I've seen the Particle Beam being used with a cutscene that fires. Which is awkward to see it firing bullets.

ME2 was still better than this. A repeat of ME2 would have been fantastic.

Just beat the game. The ending was better than expected. In that it was pretty and the music were terrific. The events and choice were precisely as dumb as expected. There seems to be three groups of complaints about this ending.

A lot of people just consider it cheap emotional manipulation. They tried writing Shepard as traumatized this time around. Seeing the death of the kid and the nightmares represents that. I can kinda see why they did it. It makes Shepard more of a character, when he hasn't really developed at all throughout the games. But I'm firmly in the opposition camp.

Same. I knew they'd have to honor it, but feared they may try to 'forget' it. So I contacted them yesterday and got a guy who seemed troubled by english. I figured I'd wait until the ninth and here they are.

IGN is making a strange mistake if they're listing all of that as DLC. They're the same ones saying there's 16 endings.

You can get the item before you get the quest. If you do, then you get the quest that way and it tells you that you need to find someone who can use it.

Allers doesn't seem to have anywhere near the content of a squad mate. She's so completely detached from content it seems she was only tossed together in the last minute. I've seen soda pop promos with more content. She'll make a general comment towards her little bot after every mission and a short dialogue at the act resolutions, but that's all she seems to get. I'm doubtful that there's a romance there at all. I really like him. He's a regular in my squad.

Shoot a guardian through the slot in his shield.

I have an armor piercing mod on Javik's particle beam rifle. It makes me feel sorry for those Guardians. Their shields don't even seem to matter.

Probably better to blow them up. I've never managed to get a mech other than the Grisshom one that's handed to you. You practically need sniper rifles or cover piercing ammo.

No. MP does affect SP. But you're supposed to be able to get the best ending without MP. Which is at 4000 EMS and a condition.

Really am loving it. I stand by my previous assessment of combat. Still too easy with the enemies lacking protections. But it's still fun. Love the new weapons and how they have such variety, love the weapon mods, love the weight system. I carry around a sticky grenade launching pistol. My squadmate has a cover piercing sniper rifle. My other squadmate has a rifle that uses ME1's overheat system and ramps up damage the longer it's fired. Am intimidated by the number of weapons I can find and then upgrade.

They have female primary and secondary characteristics. They describe themselves as monogender, which means one gender. They identify as female, use female titles (matriarch), and pronouns. That they assign genes differently is academic. And for all we know, they had male Asari once, but it got bred out due to being unnecessary. That would certainly explain some things.
