Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

It's ok to be neutral, you wishy-washy pansy.
My general rule of thumb is I'm polite when the situation warrants and a jackass when the situation warrants, with a few exceptions.
Ended up full Paragon and about 1-2 bars Renegade.
What I wouldn't give to punch everyone in the face.
But I mean, Shepard did learn one mean ass karate kick in the meantime so I guess it balances a little.
I was surprised by that loyalty mission, it was really well done - one of my favorites.
I think I need to go back and do a run where I try to pick just the grey options instead of the special paragon/renegade ones since there seems to be some rather brutal hilarity in those as well, like the merc you meet during recruit the krogan after you land and the game mocks team fortress 2.
Helps a lot for Meer's sake too, since he seems to put a lot more flavor into Renegade responses than he does Paragon.
Vignette effect?
SODOMISE INTOLERANCE
Tide goes in. Tide goes out.
It's the dark border around the edges of the screen. You can see it best at the corners.
I accidentally activated my Gamertag to an email I don't know the name of when I played 1943.
So today I activated my Ceberus account to my Email that's LINKED to my 360 and when I go to Down to get my colector armor it doesn't exist.
My EA and Cerberus account are now completly seperate, Thanks EA
Just saw my renegade Shep toss some out on Thane's loyalty mission.
Unfortunately I don't have a run that's anywhere close to doing thane's mission to try it in

Well, someone on the official forum did a seemingly pretty solid test:
3 second cooldowns make them a joke
The nice thing is this also applies to the Infiltrator's sniper scope slowdown, making the Assassin specialization pretty clear-cut. It's 10% less than Heightened Adrenaline Rush but without a cooldown and Assassination Cloak, it fills in nicely.
Pretty sure you mean Speed.
Oh I just did that...
Also, are there any other particularly difficult persuasion checks to keep note of?
It talks about the sentient race launching it's first space telescope and spotting an Asari cruiser and how there are plans to go planetside and greet them.
The doomsday meteor hitting the Hanar homeworld news bits were neat and the Superbowl stuff was funny, but now I'm sold on this news thing. Surely someone's archiving it.
Whaaat?
Or are you talking about something else? Sorry.

Perhaps level?
Considering how wide open the middle part of the game is, it'd make a lot of sense for the checks to scale. Very good theory.
I was on normal. Though I did notice on my new game + with my new import the dlc unlocked earlier, so maybe I can get his loyalty earlier? I dunno.
Level makes the most sense. You could do Zaeed's loyalty mission anywhere between hour 3-ish and hour 25-ish. They can't set the check super high no matter what, because what if you did it early in the game? You'd be very screwed.
But they can't set it low, either, because that would just trivialize it for the majority of the game.
So the check scaling to level makes a lot of sense.
No idea about scaling
your sultry voice makes me think for a second that you're not evil
Some mixed thoughts about the Final Boss / Suicide Mission:
Also, any amount of 'teeth' the idea of losing characters might have had was completely disarmed by the execution of that idea. If there had been actual nuanced choices involved, maybe a bit of tactics, even some amount of luck, I would have felt a sense of accomplishment at keeping my team intact. As it was, all of the art assets dedicated to showing, for instance, Shepherd dying, are essentially wasted. It's just to easy to be perfect; then again, that desribes much of modern gaming.
Still disappointed at the lessened RPG mechanics, but very glad the shooter portion of the game was much improved.
Really? Because I'm not even going out of my way to Renegade my main Shep and she's pulling out more pistols than an NRA convention in Compton.
wat
Make a mistake? Oops too bad go start again
that being said it was also fun to play a shepard who screws things up in every way possible

You unlock it after Horizon.
Oh yeah, absolute bullshit. I was finally able to get mine by creating an XBL silver account and linking that to my bioware social network, and using the same email for my EA account. I'm worried i might just be screwing myself up the ass for later EA games with DLC though. Anyway, i just download them through the silver account and i can still access them on my main gold, it might make it harder for me in future EA games with DLC, but it was easier than dealing with some asshole customer service rep who tells me to use option on their website that dont fuckin exist! I have no idea how to permanently remedy it, I must have registered my gamertag to a previous EA account because whenever i try to add a new "persona" it says that gamertag is taken, but by ME!
