Yeah, I really don't need that physical stuff because complicated reasons.

From what I've seen though, I think it's all digital.

@Muk: Posting Zelda stuff with no Fi's Theme(4), Molgera, or Zelda's Lullaby?

For shame.

Unless you were just posting adventure-y stuff. In which case, perfect.

I live in hope that Garrus will turn into some super-awesome leader so Shep's team and Garrus's team can team up against impossible odds.

He could be a really good leader, he just needs a little more mentoring from Shep.

Garrus is my Renegade Shep's partner in crime anyway.

I wish I could throw Miranda out an airlock and give Garrus her position (and office). But alas, he seems content to just sit by the guns, lament the loss of his squad, and press the same two buttons all day.

Why would Garrus ever settle for an irradiated crater?

His standards would really have to plummet.

[up]Speaking of which, what does Miranda DO now that she's no longer with Cerberus? Is she solo?

Eh Miranda is better then Ashely. I keep her around as long as she is loyal and useful.

Was anyone else dissapointed that the Revenant was little better then a point blank bullet hose? I like the Mattock or the Vindicator better.

^ With the Accuracy upgrade, I've turned the Revenant into a beast that can be used for even some long range encounters. If you can handle it properly, it's much more than a bullet hose. The Mattock is nice, though, and I usually switch between the Revenant and Mattock. Revenant is better for longer missions, though. It has proportionately much, much more ammo.

I have a question of my own: which powers are affected by the "Tech Damage" line of upgrades?

I write pretty good fanfiction, sometimes.

[up][up]You mean in the third game's demo? If that is the case, then yes. I really liked it in the second game when it was fully upgraded and armed with incendiary ammo. Who needs heavy weapons? Except the Cain, of course.

[up][up][up] She's a corpse She's probably just personally loyal to Shepard now, like the others. If you're asking what she does in the third game, well you already know that.

The problem is it takes time to get all the assault rifle accuracy upgrades in 2 to make it worth while. Without them even a short controlled burst is wasting shots. I like the Vindicator because it is accurate and hits pretty hard. I like the mattock because I can take single aimed shots. Mattock with shredder ammo is pretty nice.

I have unlocked it in the MP demo for 3 as well. In the close quarter urban map it is great weapon. I use an advancing barrage of fire backed up by impact shots and grenades. I still prefer the Mantis sniper rifle though.

Please don't turn this into the BSN, people. tongue

[up][up] It takes hardly any time at all? In fact, you'll most likely have AR Accuracy before you have the Revenant.

[up]x5 I know what she does during ME 3 and that she's loyal to Shep.

But what did she do during the 6 month lead-up to ME 3?

Did she work for someone? Was she by herself? Was she leading a group?

I'd wonder the same about Jacob, but honestly who cares.

On the subject of Powered Armor, I recall that ME 1 had armor mods that implied that they did indeed provide augmentation. Though in practice, it's like in Halo: despite what the lore says, it never really comes up in gameplay or cinematics (with the exception of how Master Chief could flip vehicles).

I think their intention with the turrets was similar to Valve's one in Team Fortress 2.

The problem is that TF2 was completely inteded to be PVP while ME3 is PVE.

Despite the enemy AI and variety being really improved, I'm still a bit disappointed that most enemies can't really use the same powers that you can. Like Combat Engineers can't use the Drone and Incinerate powers on top of deploying turrets, and Centurions can't use specialized ammo or Carnage.

I was playing ME 2 again and just realized...

... the base that Shepard was resurrected in? It looks an awful lot like the Collector Base.
