re: Mass Effect Legendary Edition Discussion Thread

Just got through IFF on Hardcore. Had a very satisfying moment...

I wanted to see Grunt take on waves of Husks by himself with only range support from Jack & I (I am a Vanguard). I planted Grunt in the middle of room by himself while we stayed on the other side of the room at a distance. The only time I moved closer was at the beginning to activate the Husks. I micromanaged to make sure Grunt stayed on Fortify while Jack & I just spammed Shockwave in the direction of the fight. Watching Grunt yell "I am Krogan" while lowering his head and charging large groups of Husks and seeing them fly off of him like bowling pins was hilarious. Dodging the Scion wave that was coming towards me from across the room was the most difficult part of the fight as Grunt handled his business without ever falling. Once the Husks were taken care of, the three of us took down the Scion in all of 5 seconds.

I tried this same strategy again on the next battle but it didnt work as effectively. The next fights had two Scions and their waves that they shot at me were crossing the middle of the battlefield, so Grunt kept being hit by them and he wouldnt last long. I had to resort back to charging the Scions myself for that one.

Fun battles.

Finished ME2 last night. Completely forgot about advanced training and the bonus power that unlocks as you complete loyalty missions. Realized after beating the game that it never unlocked for me. Went look at my achievements and only a handful of achievements were awarded to me. None of the loyalty missions achievements were unlocked. Apparently it’s a pretty big widespread bug. Just an FYI in case anyone has the same issue. Playing on Series X.

I’m on NE2 and just finished the collector ship mission.

I’m doing as many, if not all, side missions. I did every side mission in the original ME1, including the minerals, medals, and matriarch writing ones, maxed out my level, and it still ended up being ~30 hours of gameplay.

I just finished ME1. 100%'d that bitch. Pure renegade adept. It's hard to be so maniacal throughout the game.

Also, I imported a level 55 character with max credits into ME2 and it only gave me 146,000 credits?

As Scruffy said, there's more to it than just your credit count, but your confusion seems to be stemming from a nerf in the import cap. In the OG trilogy, you could transfer 10% of your credits to a max of $100k. That max was bumped to $1M in LE. Then a few weeks ago, it was nerfed back down to $100k.

So you got your 10%, capped at $100k, plus some bonuses for level and resources.

And now that I've gotten a little further:

Walk the *entire* citadel when you make trips back. And you should make frequent trips back. Stop when you hear people talking. Click on anyone with an icon. Talk to your crew members until you exhaust their dialogue to the point they repeat.

It's a chore, but there's a lot of good shite on the citadel in 3.

Pretty much finished up with everything in ME2.

Going to make one more stop at the cities, make sure I’ve completed everything in my journal, 100% the galaxy, and then head to the derelict reaper.

All companions are loyal.

I’ve upgraded everything to almost full, if not full.

I’ve done all the DLC.

Got to do that so I can save everyone in the final mission.

LotSB is arguable, but why would Scruffy play Arrival before the SM?

Meh.

It still worked.

When I complete the game, I want to jump right into ME3.

Gonna still need to do a NG+ to get the insanity achievement.

Platinumed ME1 and ME2 now.

Just started 3.

Nothing kills me more than unskippable cutscenes.

And every fricking cutscene is unskippable!
