i've spent this whole game dodging Liara, Kaiden and Cortez just so i could get back together with Tali.

Girl is sassy! Me likey!

Also, hey, just out of curiosity, what Powers are you guys packing? I played Engi on ME2, so i Kept it. With Me, Tali and EDI on the field we have a Decoy, a turret and 2 Bots doing support on the Battlefield. The mess pretty much cleans itself at this point!

I'm a soldier.
Slowin' down time, and shootin' the bad guys full of hot lead. LITERALLY. Incendiary ammo, don'chaknow.

Further, I've got a Biotic (either Javik or Liara) and a techie (Garrus or EDI) with me.

I get the job done so far.

EDIT: Also, re: Prothean rifle. I like it, and it's certainly effective, but I've found myself going back to my Mattock regardless. So much more accurate and powerful.

have you tried the Geth Rifle? i found it very useful on pretty much every mission now!

Also, Sad face momment: Made some bad choices with legion:

It seems the only one to save him AND the Quarians (and tali) is a very... very... especific road you need to follow from ME2 to ME3... it turns out i made some bad calls here and in the End Tali had to kill Legion =/ ... reloaded, tried to make a last minute change and the result is that i lost Legion and Tali commited suicide in front of me... ouch!

So, sadly, i lost the Geth and Legion... at least got Tali.



Edit:

Uuuh this is a bit weird... am i the only one that noticed the...huh... increase, i guess? In same-sex relationships in this game in comparison to the previous ones? Not that it bothers me... well, at least not it's existence... but it seems i came across a good half dozen dialogues and scenes about Gay couples and families, and maybe 2 or 3 about straight relationships... just thought it was odd...

Fucking Bioware.

The thing i said earlier... EDI's Camel Toe... the whole Chobot deal...

I'm willing to peg this one on EA Though, not JUST on Bioware...

So I just met up with Grunt and we've gone to fight the Rachni Reaper Queen. Can't decide whether to save it or not. Thoughts?

Also how does this scene change if you had saved the last queen? Does the one you saved just take this ones place? Making this a 2nd chance to bring them back for the final battle?

Here:

Save her, look for Paragon dialogue. She is freed from the Reapers and helps with the crucible construction, it's a major asset.

No, this pretty much does it for me. I did my best to keep an open mind about this game till it was released. Now it is and seriously? I love vaginas as much as the next hetero dude but this is just insulting.

I don't blame ya Cabel. That's taking things a wee bit too farfar beyond the line.

i made the mistake of peering into the Mass Effect fanbase discussion. It's an Arrow to the soul...

Really... it's just... -SO- much bullshit. Now there is an actual campaign to force bioware make new endings? Fucking really?!

People complaining the writing and story are terrible... really? Why am i not seeing that? It's fine! Actually, it's just as good... it's a conclusion story, everything is closing off and there is a huge sense of urgency to the story, making it feel more fast paced... but i haven't seen a single problem with the story so far, almost 25hours in...

Then, there is the thing with Tali's face (not really a spoiler, but i'll grey it out, just in case...) People complaining HEAVILY about how Tali's face is an Stock Photo with some photoshop... saying that it's lazy or a "betrayal of the fanbase"... Bullshit. Know what i thought the second i learned it was a stock photo? A Clever Prank. almost an easter egg from the developers poking fun on the people that worry so damn much about this stupid thing.

The game lacks some polish on the Technical department. There is just no way to deny that. But it's FAR from being broken or even bad. It's actually vastly superior to a LOT of stuff released lately. A Colorful, Well designed world that feels expansive and open even though the actual playing areas are boxed and almost linear.

And the Sexual aspects of the game were a bit too Heavy backhandedly dealt with in this game for my tastes... EA's pressure, Bioware trying to see just how much they can get away with... i don't know. Just surely know these things are much more "front and center" then they need to be in relation to the game's actual narrative.

It's still a very fun story to follow and a great game to play, well paced with a lot of replay value and quite entertaining...

Either way, just wanted to vent this out
