have you had the chance to talk to the invisible man? lol
Lipsynch is pretty spot on for the vast majority of cutscenes. There's so much narrative in the game that I cut them some slack.

Just thought I'd pop in to day that the Kinect Voice Commands are awesome.
It got better as the game went on for me, I'd give it a chance!Lip syncing is off, im blown by how bad animations are, character models stand out as being ugly compared to the rest of the beauty surrouding them, my character looks nothing like my past two games have...
We're off to a very rough start

Yeah, character animation has never been a strong suit of this series. The models look better in still pictures than when they are moving.
The environments though, in my opinion are far better than the ones found in ME1/2.

Are there any better armor sets other than Inferno, Collector, and Reckoner?

Yeah they are. Really amazed at how quick they are.
Also got a laugh when after you first fight with
Liara
LOL
Yeah, every squadmate can give two powers throughout the game. As far as I can tell, every squadmate has a passive, two abilities available to the classes normally, and two powers you can't obtain that they give as bonus powers. So Kaidan has a passive, Overload and Cryo Blast, and can give you Reave and Barrier. Liara has a passive, Warp and Singularity, and gives out Warp Ammo and Stasis. If a squadmate has a power you can't get from a base class, it'll be a bonus power.
So, after going back to EB and replacing DISC 1 twice.
My 360 (older arcade) will not load ME3 or INSTALL ME3 (all other games work fine).
Spoke to xbox support and they apologise and say that while my 360 can play gears 3 (something about a new ormat disc), I should play that instead and wait for a solution.
My ME1 and 2 saves are on the 360.
What a day.

Within about 2 seconds of meeting Miranda in this game, the scene cuts to an ass shot. Way to not beat around the bush, Bioware.

Question regarding male same sex romance option:
Is there a particular steps you need to follow to bed Kaidan?
Ronabo

Yeah my girlfriend was sitting next to me when that came up and said "geezus! how far does it go up her ass!"
I told her the 2nd game wasn't nicknamed "Ass Effect" for nothing.

Ha! I an wondering if they snuck any Easter eggs in for the voice commands-because if not its a massively missed opportunity.

playing through the game I can't imagine playing ME3 without having all the characters from ME2 alive. does the game just ignore certain missions if you don't have a specific member alive from ME2? or do they just replace the characters?
Curious about this stuff as well. It's easy enough with Kaiden/Ashley since I assume they just replace one with the other and keep most of the other stuff, but with the other characters it becomes trickier.
Like if Garrus died in ME2, does he just never show up on
Palaven
Or even more than that, Jack. If she died in ME2 it's curious to imagine how a certain early mission plays out.

Reading the SomethingAwful forums, people are saying they're just replaced with stunt doubles with half as much dialogue lulz

About the old squad mates:
So far I've run into Jack, Thane, Miranda, and Kelly(she kinda counts) and all of them seems to be doing their own thing. Are they all just going to be small cameo appearances and is Garrus the only true friend a space marine can have?
Well,
if Garrus DIED, how would he show up?
And yeah, I'm really curious about how this is going to be handled as well.

How bad is it that I know two people who both bought this game solely for the multiplayer.
Well,if Garrus DIED, how would he show up?
Well, that's the point. I'm wondering how that scene plays out when he isn't there.
Haha
I guess that was to be expected.

How do yo get Warp Ammo? Talking with Garrus and Vega gave me armor piercing ammo and fortification, but talking with Liara did nothing.
Oh, and is Kaidan the only one with Reave? Because I miss my Reave, and I don't think a pile of ash can teach you biotic abilities.

Thus far, my favorite aspect of this game BY FAR is the increased inter-squad dialogue and the numerous personal dialogues that Shepard can have with the crew. It is amazing what having two or more of your squad acknowledge each other and their past history does for immersion and the draw of the characters. Also, the scene
with Garrus on the Citadel and the shooting contest was awesome. Bros until the end.
Liara gave it to me at some point, don't remember when. It's different for each squadmate, when you get their bonus powers.
Kaidan's the only one with Reave, yes.
Wasn't there for me either. D:
I'm curious as well. She survived my save as well, but I have yet to bump into her 20 hours into the game.
I had this problem for a bit too. Go to "Map" instead of "Journal" and tab through the levels of the Citadel to see where each contact is.
At the same time, I've noticed there's a lot more lip synching in this game than in other Mass Effect games. For example, even when the characters are talking mid mission in gameplay, they'll lip-synch. Sometimes it's convincing, sometimes it's not, but still, the amount of facial animations is pretty staggering.
A different in war assets. If I had to guess,
the Rachni went to help build the Crucible, and may possibly offer warships in the battle. Aralakh squad probably offers more ground troops, similar to what the Krogans offer after the Tuchanka Shroud mission.

I'm a little irritated by this choice.
I chose Grunt over the Rachni Queen because: A) Regardless of the war, I'm not going to purposefully sacrifice my friends without their consent and B) The Rachni Queen already got caught by the Reapers, so it seems unlikely that they could help much more. Well apparently, if Grunt is loyal from ME2, he will survive either way, so my choice to save Grunt was pointless.

Fuck Cerberus
. The shit they pulled on
was rotten to the core.
Fuck Cerberus
and fuck Kai Leng and fuck TIM

Such a beautiful planet may now lie in ruins. The Asari may have kept some dirty secrets (using a Prothean beacon to give their race a technological edge), but they didn't deserve what they got. The revelations about Asari history and how the Protheans were actually the ones they revered as gods was pretty damn interesting. Liara was in constant denial the whole time. Shows how much it was ingrained into their culture.
Allot of people are having this issue, It looks like a bug.
You might be required to have dinner with her during ME2.
No one knows for sure whats going on with Kelly.

I was wondering about that. I'm pretty damn sure the whole crew survived in my Paragon file.
Whatever, Traynor is way hotter anyway.
Damn her lesbian ways.
