    also i just did the conrad verner mini event in me2
    And i totally went with the renegade option! i was nice to him in ME1, but this time? what a tool. So i shot him in the foot!!

    then later on illium i overheard a news story that he was killed when he was trying to stop some kids from hitching a ride on a bus

    i love that kind of depth

    Those of you who recall my impassioned post on the double fine backers forum about why there should be a female main character:

    The poll is now 249/215 in favor of female. I changed it into a 5 point lead!

    Or, you know, that was going to happen anyway, but again, I would like to believe in the amazing mind changing power of my oratory.

    I don't recall it. You didn't link it.

    Or maybe you did, but I forgot all about it after asking you to link it.

    shooting the worker/janitor hiding from the eclipse soldiers on thane's level

    Gooey, back me up on this.

    actually it is

    as long as you can accept death, that is. especially in the upper levels where it gets so much harder.

    it adds a whole different dimension of suspense to the game

    I probably wont play d3 on hardcore though, just because i dont have time anymore to just say "welp" and start over when my dude dies

    Exactly why permadeath is wrong. It's like restarting an essay every time you make a typo.

    Your first sentence does not have a clear referent.

    If you have permadeath, by god you should make absolutely sure I will not die to bullshit.

    There will need to be a dispute character death option, for dying due to lag spikes, server dropped connection in the middle of a fight, etc.

    I'll accept getting PKd or trolled into doing something that kills my WoD character, but fuck a bad Verizon day killing months of playtime.

    Thom. You don't gain anything from playing a fresh game of ME3. You just miss out. On a lot.

    Oh I know I'm missing quite a bit. I sat down with Jacob, and there are a fair number of differences between playing with an ME2 save and a fresh ME3 game. My issue was that my ME2 save was on a PC and I didn't feel porting it over.
    But it had a lot of minor impact. People described Garrius and Joker exchanging racial jokes. On my ship it was Joker and EDI with very different results.

    At some point I'll grab ME2 for the xbox and play through it then 3.

    Also, a World Of Darkness game shouldn't be so much about endgame content as it is a dynamically shifting landscape of strange and horrible.

    Being a new character and starting over with, say, half the point pool you built up on the one that dies would be fine by me.

    Especially if you can build up your social status with points as well - step right back into the fray with a new person.

    I really dislike ME3.

    But I can't stop playing it.

    I mean...

    It's limited in scope. I don't like how it gets more and more like Gears of War.

    Some of the set pieces are really good. The graphics are great. Occasionally there are snippets of story worth listening to.

    But dammit. Why'd they have to throw out the RPG?

    Can we talk about how excellent ME2 was?

    Because I just finished, and it was excellent.

    It was pretty excellent. I particularly liked
    Everything with Legion. Just everything. The Reaper IFF mission, his loyalty mission, his conversations with Shepard, his spat with Tali. Just everything.

    Tali's loyalty mission.

    The suicide mission
    The only thing I didn't like about ME2 story wise was Jack. Thankfully if you play a brand new game of ME3, there is no Jack to be found.

    You missed out. (ME3)
    Jack wasn't a terrible character. And she becomes awesome.
    Pfft, I got to meet Anderson's love interest instead of a raging psychopath.
    You actually get both if Jack survived ME2.

    Her character really develops and she becomes awesome:
    Her experiences on your ship have taught her how to love, and now she is like a hard-ass gym teacher for the psychic children who are her new family.
    Apparently there is an option where it's just Jack. When Jacob and were comparing notes he didn't actually have the Anderson love interest, just Jack.

    If that's the one I'm thinking of, you just punch him. I don't think Shepard ever has the choice to kill an innocent—everyone in gameplay is trying to kill you, and everyone in cutscenes has done something bad, even if it's just working for Saren.

    Tali's loyalty mission.

    The suicide mission

    Still ME2
    Legion was excellent! his loyalty mission was really fun, and I was super excited to paragon away the conflict with him and Tali

    Suicide mission was so amazing... I never got Jack's loyalty but I used her as a backup fighter during that fight.. her blast biotic power thing was extremely helpful against the husks.

    I actually liked the end boss. it was cool!

    Things I did:
    All loyal but Jack.
    Romanced Miranda.
    All ship upgrades.
    Destroyed collector base.
    destroyed heretics.
    Shadow broker DLC
    Quite paragon.
    All squad members survive suicide.

    Also I like that all the useless excess minerals I mined in ME2 got converted to rreadiness in ME3!

    I really didn't like the renegade options when talking with mouse on thane's loyalty mission.

    However I did like ignoring the paragon option on Miranda's. Dude deserved to die by her hand.

    I loved that game though.

    It was a strange interface, but it was also a really neat way to bring Sierra's AGI point and click style into a full 3D environment. also, being able to look around corners in long hallways while your character was safely standing in another area altogether? Aces.

    Also, that game had a fun plot, a suitably epic conclusion to that plot, and the biggest FUCK YOU from Sierra to its fans ever in that there will never be a 4.

    King's Quest had a better ending to the series than Gabriel Knight did, and King's Quest last official game was a tomb raider knockoff.

    What roleplaying did they throw out? You still customize your character, and you still choose what you say, just not all the time. As the recent comic showed, two people can have two very different playthroughs of Mass Effect 3.
