Mass Effect 3

[NamelessABC]

If you want the DLC character without the DLC do this:

1. Open Coalesced.bin with this http://wenchy.net/me3-coalesced-utility

2. Search for this:
MemberValidCID=22, MemberAvailablePlotLabel=IsSelectableProthean,

3. Replace with this:
MemberValidCID=, MemberAvailablePlotLabel=,

That's it. Javik the Prothean is now unlocked. "From Ashes" not required.

Works fine for me unpatched with no DLC installed. I'm not sure if there is a loyalty quest or if there's supposed to be a quest to unlock him. He has some decent abilities.

Enjoy the multi, but still even further in than I was last time, I can't stand the lack of choice. And in the end, choice I've made only have a slight effect because you can still get the "good" result even if every action you picked up to that point was to help the "bad" result.

For those interested on exactly what I am talking about:

Hidden: show

The Genophage. No matter how much you said don't do it, destroyed Maleon's data and hindered it, it all comes down to "Cure Genophage Y/N?"

Oh also, Vencha88 on Origin, have myself and 2 others who do multi so if you want some people def. in Australian to play with, add me.

Nah, you'll probably just spend the multiplayer complaining about the lack of choice in the random upgrades system.

I still dun has an asari...

[Vencha88]

Actually the way I wrote that was terrible. I like the multi, no real issues with it =p.

[Marius]

I'll add you then. Though seriously, I just find the random game finder to be fine.

This multiplayer stuff is complete BS. So I don't have to go through all the tedious fetch quests on the Citadel to get the best ending, I have to put up with the horribly laggy and convoluted mess that is the multiplayer, just to get a lousy +4 galactic readiness bonus.

They need to fix the lag if they want me to play the stupid multiplayer. Granted it's fun when it works but in this state it's pretty much unplayable.

I take it you don't know how peer-to-peer works?
they aren't hosting servers to run the game instances.
you get lag when some idiot in Bulgaria is hosting because there is no way to filter the games you join by ping.

if you host the game then you don't see the lag.

I am fully aware of how P2P works and how dedicated servers work. My problem is that they're clearly not matching me up with other Aussies, or even adding an option to search for games by region. That is my problem right there.

Doesn't help that the multiplayer mode is far more difficult playing by yourself. In the multiplayer I can charge in at a group of 5 enemies and melee them all to death, but when I play the multiplayer solo, I'll get killed instantly by 3 of them >.>

in that case I fully agree that there should be filtering options.
and yeah u can't win solo [until you have a fully kitted out vanguard, anyway].

Can't recall where, but someone in this thread talked about the discontinuity between ME2 and ME3 with Shepard being stripped of rank or similar?

Just now completed the Arrival DLC from ME2 in which Shepard makes a choice that costs 300,000 Batarian lives. Hackett himself turns up afterwards and while he states Shep made the right decision, the Batarians want blood and the Commander must fall on a political sword. Shepard agrees to face court-martial after he's finished his mission.

Does that help?

Nope, the IFF is only mid-point, I can still complete them all from here.

It's not that, if you get the IFF quest and leave it for too long, it all goes pear shaped.

[DarkMellie]

Oh dear. Well I've completed everyone's loyalty missions (just about to finish Tali's) so I'll see how it goes.

[DarkMellie]

Nope, the IFF is only mid-point, I can still complete them all from here.

It's not that, if you get the IFF quest and leave it for too long, it all goes pear shaped.

Nope, you were wrong! Everything went peachy, Legion is now a crew-member and I have the IFF.

Win.

I also got my multiplayer character to level 16 in a couple of hours tonight...

Need to get her to 20 before the campaign end because it has an effect. It's a fun diversion when you're bored of running around talking to everyone. And also serves as a replacement to the Citadel fetch quests in the campaign if you get multiplayer level 20. 25 hours in and I'm pretty damn bored of the planet scanning quests just to ensure I get a good ending.

[DarkMellie]

Chose to kill the geth Heretics... just felt like the right thing to do.

Loved the quote from Shadow Broker's DLC... "Remember when Omni-gel used to fix everything?"

[DarkMellie]

Ah, it was if you complete missions after the IFF is active that you'll affect your crew. Fortunately I went straight there so my whol crew 'should' survive.

[TRB]

yeah, but its not a huge loss anyway since the player doesn't know most of the crew
