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

I am rather inclined to believe BW has indulged in the dark side of the video game market rather than completely botching the delivery of the end to their biggest original IP yet.
Randomly changing their character's motivations and love interests at a whim?
and jesus fuck I hate every salarian who isn't mordin or I guess kirrahe. The reapers can have them
my unofficial autobio will be accompanied with tips on how to smile
cause I've found that when they don't see you frown, they never know that you're a threat
and they don't sweat you when you came around
Again, I think the main thing to take away from that coda is that people far in the future are still telling tales about The Shepard, because of what he did. That's what you should be thinking about, and I find that perfectly plausible.
While I agree with you...Shepard is pretty much Space Jesus.
It's a narrative point.
If you want to say the story is remembered but has become legend, then you say it differently - the narrator accurately describes key events, and notes that it's not known what happened after.
Hell - Star Control 2 used this exact narrative device, but it worked fucking awesomely.
Also, I think the DLC ending is a deifnite possibility. For example, as Shepard staggers forward, and is taken up in to the crucible by the elevator, the light fades, and then: this happens.
What? It would make just as much sense.
El Dorado: Never forget and The Defense of Minas Tirith, Capital of India
Oh that's just a joke we have going on. That being said Shepard very much fits the...
Hell...you even die and come back once.
So...yeah...Shepard isn't literally Jesus-like but Shepard is very much a messiah character.
*shrug* I dunno. I'm fine with the scene.
Go down to I believe it's the holding area.
Also...a useful thing for completing sidequest.
Bring up your map and use the left/right bumpers(not sure what it is on PC) to scroll between them. Usually the map will have points of interest for sidequests.
you'll want to go down to the temp housing in the loading dock. not the normandy one, but the one with the refugees.

Assists help too.
I would say the most important thing is keep yourself alive, helping with objectives and helping squadmates.
I don't care how many kills someone has if they keep dying while going for them.
Given that
Show a museum exhibit with the Glyph narrating about Shepards life.

Yep, I understand that but sometimes I want to be 'the guy' instead of the sidekick
Which classes are you playing?
Everyone can be FLASH GORDON, SAVIOR OF THE UNIVERSE if they're carrying a Carnifex or better, but barring that some classes tend toward crowd control, picking off scaries or just murdering everything everywhere.
Each decision in the game is taken. You don't take both at the same time. So when you reach the end of the game, it's as though all those other Shepards dont exist. They're just possibilities outside the context of the narrative. They're meta Shepards that don't count.
The unreliable narrator makes another layer of uncertainty on top of that, by making the 'canon Shepard' as unreliable as the rest.
This is the best idea.
"Orkses never lose a battle. If we win we win, if we die we die fightin so it don't count. If we runs for it we don't die neither, cos we can come back for annuver go, see!".
this is the one I mean
I have to admit after my last match I could see why. I was with two Vanguards, and both of them were beyond bad. One charged into the heat of the battle against 5 other enemies. Now at level 10, what would be your guess that she was smart enough to get Barrier Charge AND get her Nova to reduce cooldown by 25%? The obvious answer is no.
Stupid fellow Vanguards who use Nova immediately after Charging.... Is it a wonder they end up dying 2 seconds later? It was their stupid fault for immediately Charging an Atlas...
endin spoilers
But but but.
Shepard: "Watch out people, the next shadow broker seems to have gotten loose..."
Garrus: "Yeah I think I heard it saying 'Liara T'Soni'"
Liara: "That's not funny."
Seriously the old team are the best team, and Garrus is the awesomest bro.
Currently a Salarian Engineer. Although, I think I will change to a quarian engineer or Drell adept when available to me.
So true...a lot of people are just bad at vanguarding. Makes the rest of us look bad.
I saw a Vanguard with a sniper rifle...I don't even know.
LIke:
"...And that's how the Shepard got new clothes for his friends."
"Tell me another story about The Shepard!"
"Okay, one more..."
"...And that's how The Shepard got a new friend to ride around shooting stuff with him."
"Tell me another story about The Shepard!"
ad nauseum
Yeah, you'll be in assist land for some time with those picks. They ain't the hard hitters of the line up, though they can work just fine. Quarian engineer can do some neat stuff if they get the flamethrower upgrade for their turret, and one of my favorite team players ever was using a Drell adept. God bless that guy.
Salarian infiltrator is a horrifying beast of self sufficiency, if you ever unlock it. Energy drain and cloak are a match made in Salarian heaven.
I am an Infiltrator who is trying to be better at Vanguarding.
I want to bring a very light but powerful weapon so I can just charge around all day, so I'm thinking pistol. would the Talon be good?
SMG is better - generally - since when you can't charge is when you're going to want to be barrier/shield stripping.
Oooooooooh. DLC. Right. I always forget about that motivation.
I'm like a particularly stubborn breed of Flat Earther, it just doesn't occur to me.
The Talon is actually a shotgun in pistol form. So yeah. It would be good.
