The only thing I wish they did (which they did with Zaeed and Kasumi) is make them non-interactive when they are speaking because a few times I pressed it again while they paused inbetween lines or something and I missed out.
If you can stand her, there are some interview sections where she gives you more war points. Not to her, she is still worth 5 but she can possibly upgrade your other war assets.
I actually liked Vega, much more interesting character than ME2 Jacob. Also his lines in the Normandy are pretty good. He's hardly grating IMO. Then again most of his good lines were when he was paired against Garrus, and Garrus usually just makes any squadmate conversation amazing.
Default readiness multiplier is 50%, the grey part is what you are missing out on (half or whatever). The blue bar is your current progress, I assume green means you are past the minimum amount regardless of your net score.

Overlord has a fairly measurable impact. Shadow Broker is almost required if you want everything to be clear.
Other DLCs all have an effect, but in varying ways, try to do it all. Make sure you get Kasumi and Zaeed too.
One thing still annoying about combat, especially on Insanity: Enemies often act like your teammates don't even exist. They blatantly target you, and it feels like it's to a greater extent than in ME2.
Generally, you have to almost be completely out of the way for enemies to start targetting your team. This was most obvious against the Atlases on Palaven, where they would just come straight for you and literally just walk right by your teammates, oblivious.
Those guys were fun to fight though, haha. They bring some of the new mechanics like the dodge-roll to the forefront, and it works well.
I also generally love the more open levels. You still get the stuff like the conspicous chest-high walls and bits of cover, but the levels (at least so far) are so much more open that flanking is a highly effective and fun tactic.
During the From Ashes mission I had my two people stationed at a certain position as I'd circle completely around the side or the back, through other buildings, to get some flanking action going. In ME2 you could still flank but the levels were generally much smaller and more straightforward, so there were far fewer options there.
Yeah that's happened to me a couple times as well; the game has a tendency to auto-save in strange situations. I've had to rush to cover immediately a couple times.

I don't know man. I'm not that far. It'll probably be a bit before someone can compile the full list or whatever.
So far though, 6 hours in, they have only referenced the arrival and shadow broker mission stuff. No N7, firewalker, or Overlord mentioned yet.
Overlord will get mentioned.
To be honest I haven't had too much interaction with him yet. I'm still super early, having just finished the first story mission. And I imagine Garrus can make anyone more interesting.
I'm sure Vega is much better than guys like Kaiden. I did like the

I think I might have to turn up the combat difficulty (it's on what ever the default is on RPG). While not super easy, equipping a squad with
just about pretty much makes the game a cakewalk.

VERY LATE game squadmate Normandy conversation spoiler:
Liara is a really great companion to Shepard in this game. Her and Garrus really feel like his/her backbone.
Tali and Garrus, an item (my Shep romanced Liara). GREAT.

Minor spoiler question about a character who shows up at the start of the game:
My brother and friend both had
send them and email and show up at the Citadel. I did not, any guesses why? I looked through my emails twice and, yeah, never got one. I just finished ME2 so I know everyone was alive. Pisses me off if the game glitched for some reason and thought he died or something. I have no clue.
My brother and friend both had
Thane
Yeah after this mission I just did that blue part became green, I just passed the minimum part. One third of the way to 100% I guess.

KMart? Seriously?
Shockwave is really good for getting a group of enemies out of your face, or to send a little fuck you though walls and cover. I only use pull to remove a Guardian's shield. Very rarely do I use it for pulling some guy out of cover. Nova also rarely gets used, because I only pop it when I'm shieldless, enemies surround me and Charge is on cooldown, which is basically never.
Oh man I do this all the time. Aiming a bit high or to the side so the Pull power curves down or around. It never gets old. And it feels like Pull is even slicker this time at swinging around and hitting fools behind their cover.

Well, got it this afternoon. Installed the game, did the proxy thing to unlock it. Downloading From the ashes now.
My body is ready!
Got and awesomne preoder bonus at the store I always got, they gave you free a figurine of the new Normandy. Is not even plastic, but metal. Really good.
BTW, does someone got some good AA settings config for the Nvidiainspector?

I think the beer and blue cheese are doing the same thing to your enthusiasm that they must be doing to your stomach right about now.
There is a mission involving
Grissom Academy
David Archer thanks Shepard for saving him
Yeah, "spoiler guy" is a huge spoiler. Sorry about that one.

Overlord has an impact, not sure about the others.
Small though, at least as of now.

I want this leather jacket.
I've seen screens of this and also FemShep wearing a hoodie. Is this stuff I need to find/buy or was this some CE stuff?

The hoodie was the CE thing, but I dunno about the leather jacket, I have it as well, maybe it was another extra in the CE? Maybe it was from From Ashes?

75% of GAF need to realise America isn't the only place in the world.
Worst still is people who
write things in spoiler tags
Then tell you what they've tagged is about anyway.

At the time it was the only place I could find that had the CE, and came with a $20 coupon.
And what was spoiled? I'm sensitive to spoilers. Don't really think anything was spoiled there.
In fact I purposefully didn't hide the actual spoiler behind tags because I didn't want people accidentally or even purposefully highlighting it. Nothing in that post gives anyone any remote indication of who I'm talking about. It's just silly hand-wringing, and if you're going to be that anal, then the logical solution is to stay out of every ME3 thread till you play it yourself.

I just finished this as well. Press A to Awesome indeed.

I must admit, I'm enjoying ME3 far more than ME2. More interesting locations, better combat, better overall plot, fantastic use of all the characters in the past two games.
