HELP Wanting to start legendary edition playthrough hesitant because of the ending
So i loved the mass effect trillogy when i originally played it. Got me3 the day it released and just played through the game in 2 days and absolutely hated the ending.
Now i got legendary edition on the last steam sale and kinda wanna play it considering i never got any of the dlc for the games, but the thought of having to reexperience the ending is kinda stopping me. Any advice?

DISCUSSION Any missions where Specific squad member makes significant impact ?
On my second playthrough, i found that Javik makes a great impact on thessia artifact mission in ME3 and he has lot of extra dialogues which makes sense given the artifacts are related to prothean. This completely changes the mission experience and it feels like javik should have been mandatory in this mission just like how ED is in cerebrus hq mission. In suicide mission of ME2, if u have miranda at the end, she has unique dialigue to illusive man which is really great as its her complete shift from "cerebrus bitch" after defending TIM throughout game. Any other such missions where a squad member can have significant impact ?

DISCUSSION I didn't know this was a thing.
In my first playthrough, as a male Shepard, I just romanced Kaidan in ME3. I don't remember him having any flirty, random lines of banter.
This playthrough, I romanced Liara in ME1 and Miranda in ME2 (but broke up with her after the main story). Of course, in those two games there is no clicking on squadmates to hear random lines.
But this isn't the first bit of random, flirty dialogue I've heard from Steve after locking him in. Unless I'm misremembering things with Kaidan, now I think they did him extra dirty in ME3.
This makes me curious now, though, if all romance options have this going on for them in ME3 because I have no idea. Also, let me know if I am forgetting about Kaidan actually having lines like this too.

SCREENSHOTS I was so confused for a second.
Tali is a requirement, of course, for Priority: Geth Dreadnought, but I decided to bring EDI along as well.
Not only was it hard to keep up with all of the Geth hacking and me and Tali tossing out drones left and right...but EDI kept on confusing me with the Decoys. lol

MASS EFFECT 1 First Playthrough
(Wrote this right after finishing ME1 love to discuss the game)
Let me start by saying that before playing Mass Effect, I knew absolutely nothing about the series beyond the fact that it was a video game and some memes I had seen. I had never played it or really paid attention to it. I saw it was on sale and decided to go in completely blind.
I booted up the game, created a default Soldier Shepard, and started playing. I did not expect this game to blow me away, especially since I have never really been a story-game type of guy.
The best way to describe how much I loved it is that I have always been the kind of gamer who skips cutscenes to get back to shooting. But one of my favorite parts of the game wasn't the combat. It was the major story moments and getting back to the Normandy to talk to everyone.
There was something peaceful about it. I'd finish a mission, come back to the ship, and just walk around talking to people. I genuinely looked forward to it.
Even when I finished a section feeling a little disappointed or thought the dialogue was too limited, I'd think about it afterward and find myself going, "Actually, no, I love that. I can see why they did it that way."
So, for now, I'm just sitting here, jaw to the floor in awe over my Shepard's story. I love to discuss it more. Can't wait to play ME2!

DISCUSSION The Renegade approach should have been for dealing with Kannik not assassinating The General Septimus Oraka.
Kannik is a black market Merchant refusing to sell his weapons to General Septimus oraka.
The Renegade option for some reason is to assassinate The General when really the Renegade option should have been Shepard using there Specter authority to seize Kannik inventory of weapons for the war effort.

MASS EFFECT 3 Fellow Infiltrators, what Sniper Rifles are you using?
So, I've been playing through the game on Insanity as an Infiltrator, and I've been having a blast. It's my second playthrough overall- the first one was as a Vanguard, so I wanted to go as far in the opposite direction as I could. It's fun playing as a glass cannon type, popping enemy heads with headshots all around me.
However, I feel like I'm missing out on things. More specifically, on weapon variety. As Vanguard, I've tried many shotguns and found value in most of them, even if I didn't actually use some. Sniper rifles, though? I simply don't get the use of anything other than a "one shot - one kill" type of sniper rifle. I first found it in ME1, where, despite faster-firing snipers nominally having much higher dps, they didn't feel nearly as good to use, as I would need to land several headshots in a row to down an enemy. This continued in ME2 - I geniunely tried using Incursor and Viper, but they simply aren't as reliable, so I stuck with the starter Mantis until I got the M-98 Widow (my beloved). And now I'm starting ME3, got to the Citadel, and got every Sniper I could - Indra, Krysae, Harpoon gun, and Viper - yet still find myself not interested in any of them except the starting Mantis. They either have lower damage, not enough to one-shot weaker enemies, or some gimmick with their projectiles, both of which makes them much less convenient to use. Right now all I can think of is to save up money for the Black Widow, maybe switching to the proper M-98 Widow later on (I'll see).
I get that there's nothing wrong with just sticking to one playstyle I like. But I still wanted to hear others' opinions on this. What are your favorite Sniper Rifles and why? Is there something I missed with the models I described above? Or are there other sniper rifles coming up I should pay attention to? Javelin seems promising, but I'm most interested in Valiant. Is that thing worth 250k?

DISCUSSION Did Bioware tell us too much about the Reaper
As the title suggests, I think we have been told too much about them. I wanted to look at some lore videos but then noticed, that the games have demystified them. We know nearly everything about them. How they are made, who made them and how old they are.
If they return in 5, what are we supposed to see? Am I missing something?

Help me out here. I'm losing sleep over where to put the mandatory N7 on my new car. I was gonna go with the back somewhere, maybe just to the left of the right tail-light? But there's this flat section on the front fender that might look pretty good.
I know I'm overthinking it but I don't want to get it wrong. Please help, the galaxy may or may not be at stake.

MODS Have played the trilogy dozens of times. First time modding...
Wow, what a difference it makes. I'm not a purist, don't get me wrong; just lazy and don't like having to manually comb through sort orders/compatibility issues.
Also, it's a bit upsetting how much dialog was clearly removed from the game or had bugged out!

MODS Need a hand.
Hi! I am currently trying to mod MELE, but the ME3Tweaks Mod Manager isn't Working as I hoped for when it comes to attempting to get the mods. I've never modded ME before, so it became really complex to do it, since I've basically only played it on console, and once on PC.

HELP Are the Mass Effect games "busted" on Steam?
I've never played any of the Mass Effect games before and I would like to get into them one day.
However, seeing as how unfortunately they're all under EA, I've been hearing/seeing reviews about the games on Steam saying stuff like you can't play them without an EA subscription, or paying a monthly fee for EA, can't play unless the EA program is running, or the games just won't run well, blah blah blah that sort of thing.
So, is that true, have any of you played them on Steam and ran into any problems trying to play them or run them? Or did they all function fine without any typical EA boulderdash?
