So I spoiled myself into watching Tali's face and now I'm somewhat regretting having banged Miranda instead in ME2. Choices and consequences, I guess.

Well, at least ME1 had a plot. ME2 had much better side missions, though. Combat wise, I'm a bit torn. I slightly prefer ME1; at least you can finish combat very quickly in that one, while in ME2 you'll always be reduced to playing whack-a-mole behind cover no matter how powerful Shepard is supposed to be. Companions wise, ME1 had Wrex... ME2 had Mordin and Legion. So ME2 wins in that regard.

Two WoW killers are better than one.

They should've taken another 10 years, then the game could be about as good as Duke Nukem Forever.

I've read about the endings on Bioboards, and if they're actually true, my Chaotic Stupid playthrough is going to be immensely satisfying. I tip my hat to BioWare for showing some guts.

Or maybe the Imoen romance mod is finally complete.

Aren't you dead when you get sniped after nova? That's how things would work in PvP, I imagine.

The only time I tried a Vanguard in ME2, I charged, got stuck in a box and got killed.

Come friendly Reapers and fall on Slough! It isn't fit for humans now, There isn't grass to graze a cow. Swarm over, Death! Come, Reapers and blow to smithereens Those air-conditioned, bright canteens, Tinned fruit, tinned meat, tinned milk, tinned beans, Tinned minds, tinned breath. Mess up the mess they call a town- A house for ninety-seven down And once a week a half a crown For twenty years. And get that man with double chin Who'll always cheat and always win, Who washes his repulsive skin In women's tears: And smash his desk of polished oak And smash his hands so used to stroke And stop his boring dirty joke And make him yell. But spare the bald young clerks who add The profits of the stinking cad; It's not their fault that they are mad, They've tasted Hell. It's not their fault they do not know The birdsong from the radio, It's not their fault they often go To Maidenhead And talk of sport and makes of cars In various bogus-Tudor bars And daren't look up and see the stars But belch instead. In labour-saving homes, with care Their wives frizz out peroxide hair And dry it in synthetic air And paint their nails. Come, friendly Reapers and fall on Slough To get it ready for the plough. The cabbages are coming now; The earth exhales.

Quest had potential, but it's not much of a murder mystery if you can just follow quest markers. Frostflow lighthouse is much better. I also liked finding murdered merchants on the road which led me to a Falmer cave.

It will be a fun game for sure, but let's not get carried away, son.

Did the game bomb? Most reviews give it a 6/10, which is about right. Not much replay value and it's pretty short. A fantasy version of Gears of War, but without the polish.

I don't remember anything that stood out in NV DLCs, besides the Survivalist's journal entries. I liked them more for all being interconnected and enriching the main story of NV, while FO3's DLCs -apart from Broken Steel- all stood completely apart.

Wait, what? Wasn't that another game you were bashing months before playing it?

What does that have to do with anything? It's not like it was a problem for the Collectors in the ME2 intro. If you sit back and think about scaling on the galaxy map, you will hopefully realise how, ahem, ill-thought-of your complaint was. Just in case you don't, I'll save myself the trouble of coming back later and saying: WELL UNLESS THEY CAN ****ING SHOOT AT YOU FROM HALF A SOLAR SYSTEM AWAY, THEY HAVE TO "AQUIRE" YOU FIRST, AND THE ****ING ICON ON THE GALAXY MAP IS THE SIZE OF THE ****ING SUN. CAN YOU DO THE ****ING MATH?! Jesus. I mean, really, aren't there enough actual problems with the game without having to pull idiotic crap like that out of your ass and pretend like it's some design error?! ASKDJALSDJ

Isn't inXile owned by Bethesda, though? Can just go around frolicking like this without supervision of their corporate overlords?

The Reapers chasing the Normandy on that galaxy map is hilarious. How about just vaporizing it instead? Of course, the Normandy probably doesn't have a child on board.

That "trial" is like an inverse "Rocks fall, everyone dies". Well, everyone except for Commander Awesome and his sidekick. Good to know I nuked a Batarian star system for nothing.

I support krogan romance in Mass Effect 3

Ranged/stealth characters are best off with a mage companion or Jenassa/Aela the Huntress. Strangely enough, with my current melee character Lydia sticks to her bow the entire time.

In my experience, Lydia has the worst AI of them all. Never had any issues with other companions' pathfinding and lagging behind twenty miles like with her.

Sarcastic female Hawke was so much better a protagonist than that dull grunt Shepard.
