Got the N7 shotgun **meh** But on a separate pack, I got the salarian infiltrator. One step closer to infiltrator godhood. I already have Mantis X with Sniper Barrel V and Spare Ammo V. Just need to unlock the sal inf 4 more times, the Widow ten times, and the Black Widow ten times. Shouldn't take very long, right?

You mean she's from a family of clowns?! So jelly!! To be fair, until I got some more experience with how the game works, every rank 4,5,6 decision took me forever.

You love Mass Effect and you have a girlfriend who loves Mass Effect. Sounds like a keeper in my books. And not one of the gross green ugly ones.

I think Tali's emergency induction port was hilarious.

It's still against Council law, no? I'm pretty sure it's somewhere in the codex...

Assuming you did Jack's loyalty quest, you nuked Pragia. A pretty much uninhabitable world, but nevertheless one with life.

Cerberus association? Nuking a garden world?

On most of my classes, I just go with Predator X and Shuriken X. Even without lightweight materials, I get +200% recharge speed. The exception being soldiers, infiltrators, krogan sentinel, and asari vanguard. Sniping stasised enemies is too much fun. Oh btw, who's got two thumbs and finally unlocked the Mattock? THIS GUY!!! (Mattock II actually ) Still kinda weak, but the accuracy and fire rate more than make up for it. No more avenging and vidicating for me.

"That awkward moment when you can't tell if it's your character cackling madly or if it's you." guilty

So, kind of old, but I don't think it has made the rounds here yet, Mass Effect 3 multiplayer memes. They're from when the demo was out. Spoilers cause it's long

You'd be surprised at how many people get desperate and buy multiple Spectre packs at 2 USD each and are shockingly disappointed they didn't get what they wanted. One troll on the BW forums said he paid 200 dollars and didn't get what he wanted and demanded an explanation from BW...

I'm pretty much done with recruit packs for now unless I start running out of supplies. Human customization is complete. I just want to customize my extraterrestrials furgawdseik. Every now and then I wait to get a Spectre pack if I'm close to 60K creds, but I have yet to get anything I really like. Factor in the fact that I can get either 9 of a given supply by buying 3 veteran packs or 12 by buying 12 recruit packs, I'll only focus on Spectre packs once I get my Mattock to an acceptable level (==when Mass Effect 5 comes out). And I really don't feel like promoting characters. Completely unnecessary since I have my readiness at 100% almost constantly. And I want to play on Gold mostly, at least Silver if I"m with randoms. Bronze gets you around 17K credits, which is not worth it imo.

Yeah, this unlock system irks me to no end. Not that the asari vanguard is a bad kit, but of all my alien kits, she's the only one that has more than secondary color unlocked (only drell adept has secondary, all others I have unlocked only once). In fact, before I even played with her, she had everything up to skin tone unlocked. The only class that I've unlocked all kits is sentinel (my favorite ). I still don't have any of the weapons I really want. Not even the "uncommon" Mattock. I haven't unlocked turian soldier or salarian infiltrator. The only thing I can say I'm happy with (and that's only cause I spammed recruit packs out of desperation) is that my Mantis X kicks some serious ass. Oh and I'm still unlocking asari vanguards, even at level 20. At the end of most matches, I mean my heart's beatin', my heart's beatin', my hands are shakin', my hands are shakin', but I'm still buying veteran packs and I'm still getting asari vanguards! It's like BOOM ASARI VANGUARD! BOOM ASARI VANGUARD! BOOOOOOM ASARI VANGUAAAAARRRRDDD!!!

Really? Mattock is only ranked as uncommon - you should have it by now. Then again, Quarian Infiltrator is also ranked as Uncommon, and I still haven't managed to get it. Tell me about it The two guys I always play with both have Mattocks. And they don't even use Assault Rifles. But I do have full customization on asari vanguard... Meh

I know I'm taking this a bit too far, but I don't really like how BioWare is like: wow, only 1% of people who win win on gold. Well, maybe if there was purchase system, then I wouldn't have to grind for weeks with weapons I don't like (and suck), which keep me from trying Gold. I'm just bitter cause I still don't have a Mattock or a Widow or a Black Widow.

Are you practicing? It says it starts at 5pm pst. In 3 hours I believe.

I suppose I could turn it off after I get the packs.

See, that's what I thought at first, but they list the same options over and over with minor differences as EMS increases. It would be almost impossible to keep track of exactly which choices you'll get just by looking at the guide. I suppose it's just a confusing format they chose to use. @elev3n I see your Harbinger quotes, and I raise you an NSFW Harbinger/FemShep romance:

Devil's Advocate Hat, Activate! Both Mass Effect and Dragon Age: Origins were in production for about 5 to 6 years since the teams had to create a fully realized galaxy/world before continuing the development process. Once they had an engine and the lore set up, it's simply a matter of upgrayedding the engine and continuing the story for subsequent games. Both Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3 were released 26 months after their preceding game, which is a whole 60 days more than a Call of Duty studio has to make theirs. Also, I seem to recall from that IGN link a few pages back destroying the Collector base changes which options you have at the end of the game. In fact, if you save the Collector base and have over 5,000 EMS (the highest tier of choices), your only option is to

Horizon. Praetorian fight on Insanity. Oh my gooooooooood, such a pain in the ass as Vanguard. In other news, Cerberus now has a space program, courtesy of my Sentinel. I don't know if the physics engine decided to crap itself or what, but I used Throw on some poor Assault Trooper, and the guy basically rocketed into the atmosphere. He was just... gone. Yeah, I stepped into Insanity with my level 30 soldier with bonus power Reave. Collector trap owned me so badly so many times in such little time. I've gone back and tried it every now and then. Still no luck. If/when I ever do it again, I'll just use my Adept and get Domination as the bonus power.

At first, I just wanted to get the char. lvl 60 and import me3 achievement. So I set it to Insanity just for kicks since I was level 59. Mars was so easy, I just kept going, doing only Priority missions. In 8 hrs, Marauder Shields was dead. It just might be possible that the only achievement in the series I don't get is ME2 Insanity...

@WaS

Pinnacle Station was.... ok And is the only one that never gets mentioned in the rest of the series. Would have been nice to at least hear about your apartment on Intai'sei. And the appearance packs and weapon packs for ME2 are technically DLC as well. Although I can't see myself using any assault rifle other than the Mattock if given the choice.
