Almost have 100% of Galactic Readiness....

[DragonDame]

Nice!  So, I'm assuming it doesn't take much time to get the readiness to 100%?

[DoseOfLaughter]

I'm sitting at 71%.

[DoseOfLaughter]

Now my highest is 84%. I've just mainly been spamming Bronze missions.


I do like the Multiplayer in this game, but I don't see it as a long term thing. Once Ghost Recon comes out, I'll have all of the online shooters I can stand...

[DoseOfLaughter]

Spoiler

Just checked my Effective Military Strength. I now have 5,546. My War map Galactic Readiness is at 80%. So, there you go. That's the magic number!

[DragonDame]

Awe.  Let me know if it's worth it, if you are able to replay the final mission with the new asset readiness.

[DoseOfLaughter]

Not quite yet....I want to get 100% in everything and then I'm going to head back to ME2 and make a fem Shep, so I can have both a male and female Shepard....because you never fu­cking know if they'll make a ME 4 or not.....actually, I might go back to ME1 and make some new choices and make an entirely new Fem shep....I have one on ME2, just never finished off all of the DLC.....hmmm...DECISIONS!!!

[sohadow_swordsman]

Mass Effect... I've never played this. Is it similar to the other Bioware games like Dragon Age or Baldur's Gate?

[DragonDame]

Well then... I'll be sure to tell you about it.

I'm glad I made several play-throughs on my previous games.

I have a problem with replaying games.  I spend majority of my game time doing so.

I don't think they'll make an ME4 unless they come up with another protagonist, further in the future.

[DoseOfLaughter]

Spoiler

Well, Bioware has a whole universe to play with an a single rogue AI that has caused trillions upon trillions upon trillions of deaths.....making a ME4 shouldn't be TOO difficult

[DragonDame]

This is true enough.  

Spoiler

There could be a journey to refind the other civilizations again.  Or afterwards.

There has also been talk of an MMO.

But, we'll never know until they announce something, if there is anything at all.

[DoseOfLaughter]

There is just so much potential for Mass Effect, I'd actually hate to see them kill it after three games. I wouldn't mind a prequel, to see how certain things happened.

[DoseOfLaughter]

You do realize the mods can see your IP, right? And they're more likely to just ban whatever your main account is...right?

[crapshot2]

I don't think this is buddy.

seems suspecious

[DoseOfLaughter]

One more match and my entire galaxy will be at 100% readiness. MWAHAH!

Alright, so I am feeling really.... sad. My crew ends up stranded on a tropical island... and I die/live and then probably die from my injuries shortly after. Can anyone tell me/confirm that there is a amazingly satisfying ending where my crew doesn't end up on an island. I mean that's really the only thing bothering me is what happend to everyone!?!?! WHY IS MY WOMAN ON A TROPICAL ISLAND WITH A CRIPPLE AND A BIG HORNNY MARINE!?!?!?!?!

[DoseOfLaughter]

I've already said what you need to do - you have to have your assets at 5000+. To get this, you need to play multiplayer

[DoseOfLaughter]

In other words - that little map of Galactic Readiness needs to be about 100% - Galactic Readiness IS ONLY GOTTEN IN MULTIPLAYER

[studster1011]

Spoiler

Yes, but i've been looking all around and I have only found the 3 endings, Sythesis, Control, and Destroy.

[DoseOfLaughter]

And now, ladies and gentlemen, I am going to play in order - Mass Effect 1, 2, and then 3 over the next week and create an entirely perfect playthrough. IT WILL BE AMAZING AND I WILL CALL HIM BOB

[my-name-here]

i plan to do this as well, though not until all dlc is out.

[DoseOfLaughter]

Will you call it Bob as well?

[DoseOfLaughter]

So far, the decisions I've decided to make are - Ashley lives. Rachni Live. My love interest will be....I'm thinking no one, actually. In ME2, I want my character's love interest to be Garrus. I think I might kill the Council this time around....maybe not....either way, Anderson will be the Earth Councilor...

This is a fem Shep. Each game, I will slightly modify her face to make it more...erhm feminine. Mass Effect 1 had...such a bad face emulator. ME2 got slightly better...and ME3 was just straight up boss.

[Blah_canbespanish]

I'd like to hear how a "bad" run would play out in ME3. That is, get the worst possible outcomes in past games. Don't bother recruiting the non-essential ME1 members, let Wrex die, let all of the abducted Normandy crew members die, get the maximum amount of squadmates lost on final mission(I think you have to save two or three minimum for Shepard to survive?).

A few others like purposefully failing loyalty missions for the characters that you have survive would be good too. Let Kolyat kill, Morinth get away, get Tali exiled, etc.
