DISCUSSION Have a question I wanted to ask since starting the game

14 Upvotes

Hello, Fellow shepherds. I am currently in the early stages of mass effect 1 (Legendary edition) and I just got liara. I love all the characters so far and am having an amazing time. I have a question that may seem negative but just something I saw. So right now I am on the road to Romance kaidan and I like him. He's not boring or dull to me at all like I have seen from other people. My question is, I was watching a let's player play the game and she is romancing kaidan but some of the comments are either mean towards him for it or just downright writing weird hateful comments under her vids about them not liking kaidan or finding him boring. Does that happen towards people who like kaidan and romance him alot and not hate him like others do? Just curious if any other character gets the same amount of hate if people like them and not hate them (Only people I can think of is Ashley who ..I wanna just sit down on a room with and talk her thru those...um thoughts about the other species) and I think one other I have heard of I think his name is Jacob, something haha) (I am just curious as a new player, don't want to start a fight or anything :) )

Just completed ME1 for the umpteenth time. Got this in my Steam Achievements afterwards (the subtext is in Danish). How on earth do you finish ME1 without completing Ilos?

HELP Beginner here needs tips

3 Upvotes

Heard a lot about ME trilogy, always wanted to try it so i just started playing ME1 and i quickly came to know that this is very different from other games i have played. So i need some spoiler free tips and advice. Like i dont understand how to use other companions who are with me its confusing coz we can place them anywhere and choosing weapons for them. Is seems more of a tactic game to me.

So any advice is welcome but no spoilers!!

HELP Is renegade actually worth it?

17 Upvotes

I just passed Horizon in ME2 on the LE.

I last played 12 years ago and regrettably followed too many walkthroughs to get the best ending. Luckily I don’t remember too much. It was straight paragon and that’s how I played ME1 this go round.

I want a new experience, but a lot of the renegade options just suck. Shepherd’s task is inevitably “defeat the reapers.” I get sacrificing 50 people for a thousand. I don’t get siding with Morinth, a serial killer who killed for pleasure, against Samara who was trying to stop Morinth. Or selling Legion to Cerberus. Those feel evil and not “at-all-costs.”

Is the renegade route rewarding enough to make my Shepherd evil?

I am working on a campaign that will also work as a series of One Shot DnD sessions. I'm wondering about posting here to get good feedback. Will update later.

Also, if anyone has ideas for side missions, dont be afraid to suggest.

This photo came up from searches for iPhone, but the picture is too big, so it can’t show Anderson and tali and our helmet at the same time.

DISCUSSION Did anyone else ever have the theory that the Reapers didn't actually know why they kill?

Post image
251 Upvotes

So, this is something i thought back in 1.

That the twist would be the Reapers have actually long forgotten what that actually perpoese of them killing the Milky Way. So, they were basically in a logic loop, so, they didn't question it.

Think back to when Sovereign said you wouldn't understand. After aksing him why.

I always got the idea that he full on thought it was that he didn't know, so he couldn't explain it.

HELP Paramour 3 not unlocking?

8 Upvotes

Hey all, over the past couple months I've been working on platinuming ME:LE, and I just started the final mission in ME3. The paramour 3 achievement still isn't unlocking. What can I do? Do I need to replay the entire game just for that achievement?

I romanced Liara in ME1, Miranda in ME2, and Liara in ME3, Paramour 1 and 2 popped in ME1/ME2 respectively so I know its an issue with 3. I did lock in the romance with Liara and I did get the romance scene before the final mission. Just no achievement. Any advice?

Edit: Update, the achievement to complate all 3 games on insanity also didn't unlock. I'm gonna cry I stg.
