1: I just spoke to Javik after Priority: Horizon but did not get dark channel, any idea why?

2: If I end ME:2 with reave as a bonus power and import that character, will I have it in ME:3 at the start or will I still have to go through to the point in which I can unlock it?

I completed the first playthrough few days ago, really liked the game, and i romanced Tali then. Now i want to do a better playthrough and romance same character across all 3 games. According to google, Liara fits the bill but some dlc must be completed, is there anyone else?

Its unrealistic to expect all humans to be normal size. Especially when many wealthie nation have a much higher obesity rate. Unless tgey turned all tge fat ones into scions and praetorians? Maybe they had an amazing weight loss drug from sirta?

What is your opinion on Admiral Hackett in the Mass Effect games?

I personally couldn't stand him in the first Mass Effect game just calling Shepard to go investigate some random stuff was very irritating to me.

I like him a little bit more in the second Mass Effect since in my playthrough I'm still very loyal to the Alliance especially with the Batarian system DLC.

In the third game I appreciate how he is willing to work with anyone Shepard can recruit especially the Rachni without questions.

Over all I think he is a good admiral that is very honest with Shepard when they are questioning themselves in the third game and it makes me very sad at the thought of Admiral Hackett not being in the newest Mass Effect game.

Also note I did not draw this picture of Admiral Hackett.

What a fantastic game. I enjoyed the gameplay as much as I did in DA2 or Inquisition (which is to say, a lot more than DAO), and so far, the story feels on par with how good DAO is. I will say though, that at this point, I'm not connecting with companions nearly as much as I did in the Dragon Age games, with the exception of Ashley. Is it just me, or is there a lot less banter?

And I'm curious: is ME1 a significantly shorter game, or did I miss something big? Because I finished in ~40 hours compared to ~85, 56, and 136 hours for the Dragon Age games, respectively. I know I never found the fan again, and the only resource gathering quests I did were the metals and the Matriarch writings.

I'm excited to see how this all plays out. Shepard is a fantastic protagonist.

Hi everyone, I need some advice,

I want to play another run of mass effect, last one is a few years back.

I already have mass effect 1 and 2 on steam and the 3rd on EA launcher.

Is it worth buying the Legendary Edition ?

Thank you in advance for your answers.

1. From ME3 logs i understood, there is a issue with Cerberus Retrofits and Thane lives mods,but not sure how to fix it like either remove it or something? "The following textures have bad TFC references, which means the mods were built wrong, dependent DLC is missing, or the mod was installed wrong:"
2. From ME1 logs "The following textures failed to scan:"

can anyone plz help me out.

Seriously, a game about rebuilding the galaxy AFTER the Reapers or even just taking place in the galaxy after say... 500 years since the Reapers got ganked (or sexed or whatever your ending was) would be nice.

WHEN!?

There is no other point to this post than to show appraisal to the original ME trilogy. I never played any one of the first three games when I was a child/younger, but I recalled reading positive reviews of the games on gaming magazines (aside apparently something about ME3's ending (NO SPOILERS PLEASE FROM ANYTHING!!!)). I was still a bit on fence about getting the Legendary Edition since I thought naïvely that the game would be a bit outdated by today's standards. However, for the price of ~7€ from the sales seemed too low to let go, so I gave it a show and went in completely blind (no guides, no walk-throughs, no nothing) and I have been playing pretty much non-stop from Friday to the time it took to write this post.

Amazing game series so far! I am still on ME 1 and taking my time with all the side quests, and even though I find it just a bit reductive that there are essentially (by what I have observed so far) three categories for the council races: the warriors, the diplomats and the scientists, overall the experience has felt like an interactive movie. Amazing dialogue, excellent quests, really addictive action and roleplaying. I remember reading something along the lines that ME1 is really clunky, but to be honest the gameplay has felt really smooth in my opinion so far.

It is still hard for me to comprehend that when I have experienced all of ME1, there will still be two full games + all the DLC left to play for a single full playthrough. And then I can do it all over again with different class (currently playing as a jar head like Shephard), different origin, different choices and different story!

I do now fully understand why the original ME series was praised so heavily when it launched. In any case, have a great December!

Finished first game and wow am I impressed!

Can’t believe the OG game came out in 2007!

Started ME2 Immediately as I wanted to see the whole “your choices have consequences” thing

I played andromeda and are there ANY decision that actually do something expect >!when you can choose to kill akksul or not!< . Also most of the dialog options are only "yes" and "yes, but different".

Tartakovsky explains before he dies that Binary Helix found an old rachni ship and took an egg back to Noveria, only to find that it was a queen rather than a standard rachni. He claims that the mother was moved to Rift Station to seperate her from her children, which implies that the children were left at Central Station. However, it is also implied by Mira that the rachni overran the hot labs at rift station and that the breach started there, which shut down the landlines. The hot labs are fairly close to the rachni queen.

Is this inconsistent or have I misinterpreted it?

Hey everyone I just finished ME1 and now I'm moving onto ME2 but every time I finish the Normandy section and I import my character, the game is just stuck on an infinite loading cycle. Is there a fix to this? If my mods might be the problem, here are the ones I have installed.

Anderson and Hackett Consistency, Aria outfit for Femshep, Casual Hubs, Combat Remastered, ESA, Extended Romance, Prologue Framework, Liara Consistency, Optional Flirting, Oriana looks like Miranda's twin, Sheploo Consistency, Unlimited Sprint, and the Unofficial Patch.

If anyone is able to help, I would greatly appreciate it.

So i just finished the whole trilogy for the first time and was going for “the best” ending by choosing the destroy option. But i noticed during the final cutscene, I didn’t have the brief shot of my Shepard waking up.

I went back to my last save and noticed that my EMS was around 6400. I believe I did everything right during the final mission and during all three games. But I did notice I couldn’t choose the final reputation dialogue option for TIM, which would make him kill himself, even though i have a full reputation bar.

I did all the side quests I could find in me3. saved the rachni queen, the council, and wrex in me1. saved all my squad mates, and saved maelons data in me2, brokered a truce between geth and quarians, cured the genophage. Mordin did die in me3. What else did i miss? I think I missed a few side missions in me1 because I didn’t know you couldn’t go back and finish them, I’m not sure if that’s important or not. Thanks for the help!

As shown in the picture in ME2 Shepard and Zaeed are both using the assigned guns I gave them but in ME3 the default gun Shepard uses majority of the time in cutscenes is the Avenger and the M-3 Predator even though that is not what I gave him. Same goes for our squad, idk if I’m remembering correctly but when you meet back up with Garrus in ME3 at one point he’s shown shooting with a M-97 Viper but then goes back to the Mantis.

I believe there’s a mod that fixes this issue but unfortunately I’m on console so I’m stuck with it but it does mess with my immersion a bit. What’s yours?

I want to play as a race that's not human in the next game. I want a full on Skyrim race selection in the character creator. Give me at least the Salarians, Turians, Asari, Quarians, and Krogan alongside humans. But I would also love to see Drell, Volus, or hell, maybe even Angara or Geth, too in the selection.

They could give each race two backgrounds kinda like they did in DA Inquisition or something. Maybe even do what ME1 did and have a small side quest type thing related to the background you choose. It would also be really cool to see some dialogue options open up depending on what species you are in some situations kinda like BG3.

Yes, I know that you can play as different races in the multi-player, but not everyone plays multi-player. And it would be so cool to actually be able to customize your own Krogan' head crest, or your Turian's face markings. Give me control of another species in the actually story.

I think part of the reason Ryder kinda failed as a player character is that despite technically having more options in dialogue tress than the OT, it felt like every option led to the same Ryder by the end. But with this many options in the character creator I would hope that this issue would be curbed at least somewhat.

Now, obviously I don't actually think that were going to get this. Mass Effect has always been about humanity exploring the stars and trailblazing where the other races were too afraid to go. And I don't see that changing. Not that that's a bad thing.

But hey. A gamer can dream.

They were foiled in 1. But the arrival DLC show them invading the Citadal.

Yet in the actual war they did it last minute after the catalyst reveal.

Given how easily they steamrolled the galaxy.

They could have took it easily and stopped sheapard from gathering half of the avaliable war assets.

Is this explained? Does he find it in a archive or old ruin? If not, how dod they find it?

Hello,

I took this screenshot after my Paragon playthrough in ME1 Legendary Edition.

Can someone tell which space station this is in the background?

Have a great day, Commanders!
