i a tweet awhile ago from the writer of lost saying "no guys. i didn't co-write the ending of Mass Effect 3".

and that conspiracy keanu meme saying "maybe it really was better with kinect (xbox joke)

also saw an iPhone game from Blizzard called "supply depot". Under features it said

"multiple endings, each influenced and color coded for your convenience (further epic endings planned for post release as downloadable content"

i lol'd at ME3 reference

^^^^^^ baaahhahahaha, it always catch's me out when i've been watching some cut scenes or talking to people and have the sound turned up, then the next time i go through a relay its a mad rush for the remote to turn it down.

i've finally got some time to play this game so been putting in a few hours here and there. I'm already up to 17 hours and haven't finished it yet, i'm doing the first tuchanka missions. you guys doing it in 16 must have been speed running it lol. I am doing all the side quest and talking to everyone, i spent a couple hours going around the citadel talking to people and listening to there conversations.

i am sick of the little fetch missions. e.g. find better power schematics and deliver them to so and so on the citadel. my main issue is it doesn't tell you if you've met the mission parameters so you've got to remember that you've picked up the item and to give it to the person next time at the citadel.

and in the spirit. edit: can't figure out youtube embeds.

best way to do it: go to EVERY system

get it 100% or be VERY sure there's absolutely nothing in the system

go to citadel

talk to EVERYONE you can (or press V to see people's names, go see them)

do main mission

rinse, repeat.

i'm just before the last mission, but doing the ipad game to get readiness up to 100%. f**k all the haters, i can wait for an ending (hitting europe up on friday anyway)

and yeah i wanna remove that damn video of using the gates :/

yeah thats basically what i'm doing, after every story mission i check all the systems for 100% asset collection. i've got into the habit of writing the items down on a little notepad so i can easily check them off and know when i've completed them. i just liked how on ME2 there was a little breakdown of the mission that would tell you if you have the items and where to return it to.

you can buy some of the citadel fetch mission items at the spectre office under the spectre requisition terminal. You cant buy the artefacts where you need to go scan for them on planets but the "power schematics" etc you can buy for a few of them.

i've been using the Mass Effect datapad app on the iPhone. you can sign in with your Origin account, and theres a galaxy map where you can send your crew on missions in the sectors to gain military readiness. Good if your at work or leave it over night, just check in every few hours to collect your readiness. You only gain 1 and a bit % per mission but atleast your gaining readiness while your doing other stuff.

beat my second play through yesterday. mostly renegade adept, brought 4800 odd EMS to the table. The endings still a head-scratcher the second time round.

yep, but apparently readiness decays over time (albeit slowly), GAAAAAAAAAAYYYY

so yeah gotta get it VERY near to 100%, smash it out then just after collecting to get 100%, finish the last missions :)

i thought only decayed when you were playing single player to encourage you to play multiplayer and idnt decay if you were inactive. im probably wrong though.

you dont need 100% anyway, you need 4000EMS to get the "best" ending if you make a specific choice at the end (5000 EMS, it doesn't matter what you choose at the end (not that is does anyway sad.gif ))

so for some people, 4000 EMS will be 80% or so. you dont need to get 100%.

i think multiplayer still the best way to get your EMS up

EDIT: NEWS-Y TYPE STUFF!!!!

Bioware preppring "amazing" Mass Effect 3 Announcement for PAX

SHIT it just deleted everything i wrote, fark

EMS? I know about readiness and like "war assets" or something...

also, won't be playing for 5 weeks, europe!

and i know they'll release the "real" ending as DLC, i'm really hoping as a good-will gesture they'll make it free or very cheap (but all the 12 year olds will cry even about $1)... but chance, 0. i dont care, i've got the disposable income to buy it, sif i care about paying a bit moar. i got N7 cheap anyhoo :D

you've got your total military strength (TMS) from your war assets, you've got your galactic readiness as a percentage. Your total military strength is influenced by your galactic readiness percentage giving you your "Essential Military Strength" (EMS)

So if your TMS is 4000 but your readiness is at the default 50%, your EMS will only be 2000, and it's that that gets delivered to the final mission

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
