    There were some fights where resurrecting squad mates proved to be pretty damn useful. Mostly the fights where I needed them for distractions so that I could pop out of cover and not instantly take fire from five or six guys.

    Talkin' about insanity of course. on lower difficulties it is more or less whatever.

    I like how there is this disconnection between your squadmates in battle and your squadmates in conversation

    it's kinda weird

    "phew guys, gonna spend the majority of my time running around the galaxy making sure you're all set up and happy, ready to focus on our big battle!"

    "During the battle, if you just wanna jump over the wrong side of cover and sit there or just run in circles, geting nailed? That's coo'. I got this"*

    Other annoying things my allies do to commit suicide:

    1. When I tell an ally to hide behind a box, he or she climbs on top of the object, back facing the enemy until they down him or her.

    2. After receiving orders to retreat, stand up from behind cover and freeze until incapacitated.


    More annoying:

    Robbing my Adept of physics kills even after telling them to fire at something else.

    So, considering the tie in comics, will anyone else kinda miss Executor Pallin?

    I mean, he didn't like Shepard, but it seemed to be for the best reasons, which was a nice change of pace.

    Also, Udina had him killed, and fuck that guy.

    I think on horizon I cheated, activated cloak, then hacked the console and got to skip that part of the fight.

    That's why he's the right choice for the job.

    Besides, everybody knows that when the Reapers hit the Citadel again, only one Councilor's going to be able to stop them.

    And it sure as shit isn't going to be the Turian Councilor.

    I am betting when the Reapers come for the Citadel he will buy the civilians time to escape by opening a channel and trolling the shit out of Harbinger

    Ah yes, you must be the "Vanguard of our Destruction." Shepard won't shut up about you, but all I see is a Big. Stupid. Cuttlefish.

    From what I remember, Udina just sent Bailey after him to find out what Pallin was up to. Udina's a jackass, true, but I don't think he'd go that far.

    The Turian dude is a stand up guy who maybe is a little dated in views but still has the fire in him, he just needs to find it

    You know the Salarian is running the whole show from behind the scenes

    I bet the shit hits the fan and conveniently, we find out the Asari councilor is a commando, the Salarian councilor is a deep cover STG operative and the Turian councilor is whatever the Turian equivalent is.

    The Asari councilor has probably had a dozen Turian colleagues and hundreds of Salarian ones. These two jackasses she's saddled with now? No biggie, they'll be dead or retired within a decade or two.

    What she doesn't know is that thanks to Shepard, they'll be dead a lot sooner but she won't have the opportunity to gloat about it.

    I can see one portion of ME3 involving Shepard trying to smooth over problems between the Geth and Quarians thanks to Daro'Xen. Perhaps something similar with the Krogan and Rachni. As for the Alliance fleet, whatever remains might have problems listening to Shepard what his 'Cerberus ties', especially if Hackett's not around for some reason.

    Mass Effect 3 is going to turn out unlike the other two games in the series in a profound way that no one else will predict

    With the threat of the Reapers looming over Earth the galaxy comes to terms with the fact that they are indeed real and works together

    The true conflict is that Shepard has become complacent, knowing that in the end the fight will be taken to them with or without him

    He has taken to lounging about and engaging in acts of hedonism, most notably his excessive eating, all of which he hides from the public image

    The final moral choice is whether he gets off his ass and takes the fight to the Reapers personally or sits down to consume one of those store-bought fudge cakes in his quarters
    In the end if you take the fight to the Reapers and haven't done enough to restore yourself back to the Shepard everyone knows and loves, everyone becomes so appalled at seeing Shepard's slovenly image waddling through Earth's wreckage that the Reapers get the edge in the final battle

    Krogans.

    Warlord Wrex is on the very short list of people Shepard calls an equal. The biggest up and comer views her as his boss. Those who opposed them tend to wind up dead, everyone else is in awe.

    Hell, Shepard has the respect of the religious and scientific community. If Wrex and Grunt both made it, I figure the Krogans are the most reliable help you got.

    one of the workers strolled by, misread the N7 patch on my chest and said "New Zealand, eh? I was there last year. Horrible about the earthquake..." and went on for about 5 minutes or so

    it took until he stopped talking about Weta bugs before i could tell him "nope sorry. im not a world traveler. i just really like video games."
