The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
The largest, most story-intensive, raddest DLC to date, and the first to bridge the story between ME2 and ME3. Team up with Liara T'soni to end the Shadow Broker once and for all, for the low price of $10.
Operative curly haired boy has been kind enough to provide us a brief history of Mass Effect.
sovereign watches the asari discover citadel
THEY ARE PRETTY, YES. BUT THEY HAVE ALREADY BEGUN A CULTURAL STAGNATION. UNFLAVORFUL AND BLAND I DEEM THEM
salarians come in, ambitious, but under the influence of asari cease progressing as well
OH GOD THEY'RE LIKE POP ROCKS. TOO BAD THEY DON'T LAST LONGER....ANYONE ELSE GOING TO JOIN THE PARTY?
no? oh well guess i'll drop the voice effects it's not like these rachni can appreciate them anyway. ok you bug queens guess i'll trigger this purge early. not much this time around but that's just the way the cookie crumbles. wish you buggers were worth more to me than as a puppet race...ah nevermind
OH FUCK KROGANS
dammit, they didn't even register on my spacefaring, relay-using species list! looks like this plan ain't gonna work retreeeat
also very odd i sent the signal to open the citadel relay but it didn't work. UPSETTING.
also dammit that was the loss of a good puppet race indoctrinate the queens and everyone follows ugh ugh where am i gonna find another one oh well
ooo turians OOOO they didn't even get to the citadel until they were already worth harvesting? OMFG you guys ALONE are worth this purge i gotta let the guys know~ mebbe they'll give me a puppet race or something too!
um ok they're excited too but they say nobody gets access to the collectors unless it's an EMERGENCY
FUCK
uh, uh *casts around*
OH HO HO SENTIENT TOASTERS YOU SAY? I CAN WORK WITH THAT! NO I DON'T CARE THAT THEY HAVE FLASHLIGHT HEADS
hmm humans? well they're no krogan i don't think i have to worry about them much hahaha
besides i've got enough busy-work traipsing all over the galaxy trying to find this prothean "back door" thingy
did the guys bother to tell me about that? nooooo they just get to point and laugh, specially that bitch harbinger. DENY ME ACCESS TO THE COLLECTORS WILL YOU? YOU JUST WAIT
HOW BOUT I LEAVE YOU ALL IN BLACK SPACE HMMM?
i was just kidding guys- ah you don't have to bring that up-LOOK I SAID I WAS SORRY.

...
OMFG WHO THE FUCK IS THIS SHEPARD PERSON. I AM GOING TO HAVE A CHAT WITH THIS HUMAN.
....
blah that didn't go as well as i'd liked. doesn't matter anyway, me and my flashlight heads are in the backdoor. the guys will like the taste of the turians and it's just gravy if i get to personally stomp out this humanity species too. GOD they can be ANNOYING.
WHAT? DON'T LOOK AT ME THAT WAY GUYS, WE ALL AGREED THAT SOVVY WAS TOO INCOMPETENT TO USE THE COLLECTORS.
OK FINE THIS IS A PROBLEM ALRIGHT I'LL USE THE COLLECTORS TO DEAL WITH IT
BAM
SHEPARD'S DEAD ARE YOU HAPPY? GOOD.
...
WHAT NOW. YOU WANT TO USE THE HUMANS? WHAT ARE YOU, OUT OF YOUR BIOMECHANICAL MINDS?
FINE. BUT I DON'T HAVE TO LIKE IT.
...

I THOUGHT I KILLED HIM TOO DON'T FUCKING BLAME ME IT'S NOT MY FAULT SOVVY LEFT THE HUSK TECH LYING AROUND WHERE THEY COULD RESEARCH IT
oh god.
shepard is in the collector base. ah shit. ah SHIT SHIT SHIIITTTTT
....
look, i'm sorry guys i didn't mean for that to happen. YES i know that was our backup plan. YES i know we don't have any "spare" puppet species. YES i know just how much energy we spent on the collectors and on that base.
just....leave me alone. i gotta think.
Operative TychoCelchuuu has been kind enough to provide peeks at Commander Shepard's facebook page: onetwothree | FOUR!FIVE!!
Operative Kasanagi has been kind enough to provide us with sick-nasty gun mods:
Features:
No startup movies
Infinite "Storm" AKA Sprint
Modified Krogun - 6 shot magazine, 24 spare ammo (40 after research upgrade), semi-automatic, high speed ROF.
Modified Widow - 6 shot magazine, 24 spare ammo, semi-automatic, high speed ROF (same as krogun's).
Just drop this in your Mass Effect 2 install folder under \BioGame\Config\PC\Cooked\ , make sure to backup your current coalesced.ini first, just in case
The Renegade one is about as good. I'll paraphrase:
You think taking a hostage is going to work on me? Just like an asari. You should really have stuck to something you know, like dancing.
*Liara looks sideways at Shepard*
Do you know what's going to happen, Vasir? I'm going to kill your hostage. Then, I'm going to kill you. And there's nothing you can do about it.
I do find it kind of hilarious that Shepard can be a xenophobic weirdo yet still hit on and sleep with Asari like it's going out of style. Just like the Illusive Man in that respect.
I get the feeling Shepard was mostly bluffing during that bit.

For some reason I kind of wish TIM's gender was related to Shepard's. Either opposite or the same; there's no real need to make him male each time (other than the financial considerations).

So Orca, the save editor you linked, you have to start a new game and imported ME2 save that's been edited? There's no way to modify a ME1 save to transfer in? Because isn't importing an ME2 save sucky

Shepard was absolutely bluffing. That's what made it so awesome.
Shepard wasn't. Try the non-colored renegade option. EPIC.
The non-colored paragon option has Liara pulling a moment of awesome.
Yeah, I did that my first time through.
Shepard still bluffs about being willing to kill the hostage, and also about how inferior the asari are as fighters.
Also I'd like to point out that even though that check takes nearly maxed Intimidate, you don't need anywhere close to maxed Charm, which is interesting.
Every time my husband chides me for taking a paragon option with my mostly renegade character, he's surprised when I restart and reload. One day he'll learn!
Going with the renegade speaking option when leaving Liara is pretty touching, actually. Not for what you say--but for what she says.
Which one do you mean?
Edit: Oh wait, you must mean leaving like a relationship, not like leaving Azure or something.
I meant at the very end of Shadowbroker (prior to you visiting Liara afterwards).
I like the part where she says
it might be nice to visit the Normandy, and you just flat out tell her no. Then there's a few seconds of awkward looking away/back/away before the conversation ends.
Man this game would be a nightmare to vo and do all the different options. I mean it may only be a 2 hour DLC, but theres probably a good 3-4 hours of different dialogue and options if you laid them all out end to end.

Not to mention a good chunk of dialogue depends on what point you are in the game, who you're currently romancing and who you've romanced in ME1-- that requires a looooooooooot of playing.

When I did that one the facial expressions and gestures on both sides made me feel like I had kicked a puppy.
I thought Jen Hale did a great job for pretty much everything up until Shadow Broker, but after playing through with both my MaleShep and my FemShep, I thought Hale was just flat out bad in the latest DLC.

Would hardly be the illusive man then :winky:

My wife just finished our first playthrough, definitely the best DLC we've seen for any game.
Yeah, I did that my first time through.

Except for the boobs.
I don't think I understand what you're saying
edit: goddamit plush, I was hoping to sleep tonight!
"But it would take a real badass krogan to get out of here, not some scout whining like a Quarian with a tummyache !"
Tali: "Hey, I'm standing right here !"
Scout: "I'm up. I'm leaving ! Raaaaah !"
Tali: "I can't believe that worked."

I know what you mean. It's like digital crack. Just need one more hit, man.
Also Skibo I've got to disagree. Her delivery was funny as heck on most of the lines. Deadpan, but funny!
whaaaaaaat

what the fuck am I looking at here
it... looks obscene
