np, so have I. Take your time.

Anyways, I beat Mass Effect 2 some time ago, spent a few days literally just picking different characters for each phase of the last mission, just to see what the characters would say or do. Turns out, basically everything's the same, much to my quasi-disappointment. I thought that, for example, Wrex could help close the big double doors, or that Samara could use her biotics to slam the doors shut, but those didn't happen. After some experimentation, I figured out how to make everyone survive, you just pick the right person for the job. I will admit I was a bit of a sadist, such as one replay, I sent Tali to the vents, and stood idly beside the last button, just overhearing Tali complaining about being cooked alive. Soon, guilt overcame me, so I activated the button.

I liked the boss, I never would have guessed that the Reapers are these giant bio-mechanical skeletons, basically. I used my arc projector to take out the last bit of his health after I ran out of ammo, making the fight a little more exciting. I think it would have been cooler if he crawled after you while he broke apart while you fled. I decided to save the base, having been convinced of the guy so, I suppose he had a point, tho all m crew members afterwards expressed their displeasure.

So, I buy all DLCs for ME3 and get it going. I noticed that the last two points of character data included something like:
Did not romance anyone before ME2.
Did not romance anyone during ME2.
Not sure if that's good or bad, but not sure how it's relevant to anything in-game.

I was a bit surprised by how my Shepard looks now. She is the default female commander, but with some adjustments, I gave her pale skin, blonde hair, broad jaw, and made her look quite Scandinavian. Now, in ME3, she looks like a complete bitch. She even has this bitchy face constantly, even bitchier-looking than in ME1 and 2. Not sure how I ended up making her look so bitchy.

If you romanced Kaiden/Ashley in ME1, the 2nd mission plays out kind of like a soap opera. It becomes quite amusing. It gets better later down the line if you also romanced someone during Mass Effect 2 - which gets lamp shaded several times by your love interest(s).

There are several other amusing relationships carried over from previous games - Garrus is a personal favourite, as is Jacob, Liara and Kelly Chambers.




... Oh, and sorry for the sudden disappearance!

Peculiar, there's quite a lot of content in Mass Effect, hunh? And this entire time, I thought it was all about missions. Though I'm not interested in romance, I prefer to run around and kill things, for I am the totengott.

ME3 is quite fun tho, the combat is cool, there's grenades, you can carry multiple guns and all, you can roll around, and the hand-to-hand combat is neat. I am playing on Insanity, and dying once in a while, especially when I intend to just take cover, and Shepard's like, 'no i wanna roll here' and dies within a second. I also died trying to mlee the brute in the moon above Pavalan, died in one hit; that didn't work. But it was funny to look at. I noticed that ME3 has much less dialogue options.

My own progress in my fanfics and stories are also really, really slow, no worries about disappearing. 2017 just isn't a good year. Judging by the thumbnails in YouTube of Mass Effect Andromeda, seems like the game is in hot water. I blame the Trump Administration, and am willing to bet the Illusive Man is a direct descendant of Donald Trump.
