[Mass Effect] SPOILER ALL ME3 DISCUSSION. EVERY SINGLE BIT. EVEN HINTS.

AH, I see, I didn't hear about that.
Reading up on it, that was a US only promotion,so no wonder I didn't know.
Like I said in the old thread, I don't really get that mad about it. What I don't like, though, is knowing this I'll get to a point where it'll be time to complete the game. I then have to save, go grind up my multiplayer stuff, and then resume. It doesn't flow right, to me at least.
Now, my plan is to just save, get my ending, and then play multi and load it up and do it again. Hopefully that works.
Not to get off topic in this thread, but I'm 800 pages into the third book. You have no idea what is ahead, assuming you haven't read the books. So good.
Edit: third book of the A Song Of Ice And Fire series, which is where Game Of Thrones comes from.

Broken Combo
Please do let us know how it goes. Because even EA's official help page on the matter states that it'll be sent out on the 8th. And, if support tech gets all up in your grille, throw this at him/her: https://help.ea.com/article/Free-Battlefield-3-with-Mass-Effect-3-pre-order-offer-has-concluded
This isn't spoilery, but talks about number of endings and clarifies how multi affects it without actually spoiling anything about the endings, but spoilered just in case.
Hey I totally never got my rifle and shotgun either. Phooey.
This fucking game man. I was worried for bit there, but actual peace between the quarians and the geth.....
Legion, though....
I got something in my eye....
I can't even imagine opening that box when it comes in the mail and finding the wrong game. Way too much anticipation to have that happen.
Man, that sure is some grammar by the EA dude there.
IIRC it actually came with a scope. But then I took the scope off and it's still doing it... (I also like putting a scope on my pistols)
"I would like to say, please wait for some time if you are bought the game before offer ends. " sure made me laugh.
Blasphemy.
and then everyone just gets cut off from each other anyway so it doesn't really matter.
2) Because they're dicks who believe themselves to be the supreme life forms.
2a) Because Indroctination, even a little bit, fucks you up yo. It involves nanites 'n shit.
3)/3a) They are preserved. They continue to exist in a new form. "Salvation through Destruction", remember?
3b) Yep.
4) Because Shepard can make a choice. Because the Catalyst cannot stop Shepard.
4a) Because every species improved upon the Crucible until it finally could work.
5) Organic processors, presumably. Organic circutry, specialized organs, who knows?
6) The Normandy crashes in every single game, it's just how shit gets done.

Aside from not getting something that was supposed to be included, you're not missing out on too much unless you play a class that has absolutely no concern for power recharge. The Argus rifle is amazingly heavy (maxed out weight), and the Raider shotgun is half-way decent as a bit of a novelty (it's basically a sawed-off, double-barreled shotgun: two shots before a reload and MASSIVE scatter).
Still, that's pretty raw that you didn't get the original Origin pre-order guns.

I played an infiltrator, so it's not a huge deal to me, but somewhat annoying. I got my hoodie and all that. Now to go back to ME1 and start a renegade Femshep!
Although (end spoilers)
end spoilers
I mean, we got blown up. The guy on the radio said everyone had been wiped out, Shepard was a mess, and none of them were with me when I entered the Citadel.
But then in the end scene of the crashed Normandy I see Ashley getting out of the ship. If Shepard was that fucked up and nobody else was even around, then what the hell happened to them?

Or do you have to get to a certain point in the game before you can upgrade your guns all the way?
That's the single player maximum.
2a) So, presumably, would synthesis. If they can MAGICALLY synthesize every organic bit of life in the galaxy, getting indoctrination to stop people from building robots doesn't seem all that difficult.
3a) That's not really existing is it?
3b) Heh.
Aria wants me to get support from 3 mercenary gangs for fighting the Reapers. One of them (I think the Eclipse one) was locked up in C-Sec. I talked to Bailey and he said she was crazy, so I went to talk to her. I decided not to release her, but now it seems like the quest is stuck. I can't interact with the terminal at the C-Sec station to talk with the merc leader again, or interact with the C-Sec officer who was there. Talking to Bailey or Aria doesn't give me any more options. Is this quest now at a dead end?
Also really do not like what they did with a certain character immensely. Maybe it will grow on me after more play, but really not liking some of their decisions involving the characters in this game.
Considering they get jumped on and called liars or have "news" sites take their comments out of context that get them in trouble when all they do is post their own honest thoughts in their own free time, I don't blame them.
semi-spoiler maybe but probably not
I liked the ending a lot, but I fully expect a lot of bitching about it. Hopefully it won't be on the level of DAII, though, because people act like that game dateraped their hamster on live television.

Which character?

I'm very sad they didn't include controller support on the pc, i mean, kbam is better but sometimes i like to play on the couch, and the code was already there with the 360 version, it owuld have taken so little effort to do. sigh.

Too late
Keep looking around the Citadel on both counts

Info regarding unlocks (spoilered just because, no story stuff):
1. Consumable items have no hardcoded limit. This means you can hoard an infinite number of useless Thermal Clip packs.
2. There are gold unlocks which will boost your in-mission carrying capacity of consumables. One unlock type for each consumable, and I believe they go up to 10. This makes solo MP trivially easy in terms of survival.
3. "Common" weapon unlocks, when attained via a Spectre pack, will boost the weapon level by +2.
4. N7 weapons seem to have an absurdly low drop rate.
5. Permanent upgrades/unlocks disappear from the potential item pool when you've maxed them out. When you start running out of unique unlocks, 4 of the 5 drops will be consumables almost every single time.
6. An infuriating exception to 5: character unlocks/XP will continue to drop even if said character is already maxed at level 20. Even if every single race/class combo is at level 20. No matter what. This means that your chances of getting an N7 unlock are only slightly less shitty once you've unlocked everything else, because you'll be getting tons of useless character drops.
*not a real spoiler
But you get so much that I don't really care.
Also...for the love of god Bioware.
Please...please update your store to have Soldier pack, Vanguard pack, etc.
