    Hooray. As much as I despise the awful Dragon Age content management stuff, it's at least a step up from the Mass Effect stuff. Is there a way to install Bring Down the Sky without using their installer? It keeps fucking up, and now it doesn't even recognize I have ME installed.

    edit: Fuck it I'll just start over. Bioware: so good at games, so bad at dlc.

    I find it kind of funny that Shep and Thane have their SERIOUS BUSINESS faces on, but Miranda is looking happily into the distance and SuZe is all "eh...whatever."

    I like to think Tali is crossing her eyes.

    Didn't they already show the Vanguard in action? He looks like he has some sort of teleport shoulder charge that's going to be too awesome for my ME1 Infiltrator to pass up.

    It wasn't a proper class video. It was just like, "Hey, check out this awesome new biotic power we came up with!"

    Nah, the old thread was created two weeks ago. Santa Claustrophobia created a new thread while the old one was still on page 94, so tube locked the new thread. But that new thread was still locked when the old thread reached 101, so BlackDove created a NEW new thread.

    That said, we are pretty talkative, even about mundane stuff.

    For example, what kind of fish does everyone want for their aquarium? I'd like to see some clown fish.

    It'll get worse. At release we were going through Dragon Age threads like every other day

    Seeing as she's supposed to be the "perfect woman," making her look more like Psylocke would help that claim.

    Miranda makes me doubt to change my femshepard to male shepard because I am a pathetic nerd.

    But then I'd be sacrificing Jennifer Hale for some dude with an emotionless voice.

    The art reminds me of the stuff you'd get from Limp Bizkit album covers in the late 90s.

    Has anyone installed BDtS into the x86 program files? Would steam still recognize the game if I moved mass effect to the x64 path?

    So today I finally cleared hardcore, it said I unlocked a gamerpicture but it is nowhere to be found among my other ones?
    (What does it even look like?)

    Edit: oh christ, well I see there is no choice but to grind on for insanity picture reward instead.

    I think that's the Robo-Saren in mid scream picture. As for where it is... check towards the end of your gamer picture list.

    According to the official forums, it looks like this.

    The Insanity mode one is just "N7" I think.

    Yeah, they did, but whatever. They're the newest stuff we have. I kind of wish they had done a different pairing, though. Like, replace one of them with Tali or Miranda. Getting Thane and Grunt at same time communicates the "I will totally kill tons of dudes for Shepard" theme a bit too much.

    So I tried to fire up ME once this morning and after character creation and a bhadass walk to the bridge, my ship got zapped by the giant gyroscope/tuning fork (a relay) and after a fade to black, CTD with an error submission screen. So does anyone have ab suggestion for someone who got this on steam and needs a distraction fromSaints Row 2?
