Anybody?
You play as random people, not Shepard. And, yeah, you can play multiplayer without doing single player.
EA doesn't do paper manuals anymore. If you notice, the top part of the pause menu is now MANUAL.

I think I was a lot more annoyed about the whole thing before I was able to just recreate my Shep's face from ME1/2 in 5 minutes.

I think there is only an in-game manual.
There is none.

Hahaha same here. You can see my reactions at about 12:07 AM EST on Launch Night.

Dammit, that is lame about the lack of manual. What the hell am I going to do while I poop?
Read the codex on your ipad/iphone or play... infiltrator!

"you can't use your ME1 Shepard face"
Okay so I haven't booted the game up yet, but is it true that I can't play with my Shepard?
Or does it only apply to folks that didn't play ME2?
edit: nevermind, found the update in the OP. This is fucking ridiculous bullshit. I don't know why I keep giving money to EA.

Game is incredible so far. I experienced this weird issue last night (360 version) where the audio sounds scratchy and the framerate takes a huge dip. I'm about 10-12 hours in on
Anyone else experience the same issues?
Sur'kesh (Salarian's homeworld).
I'm not even at the geth/quarian and i've spent like 16 hours so far...
This is me taking my time though and not skipping text.

Has anyone been having problems with the PS3 version getting a black screen when loading at the Citadel? This happened to me three times now. When I go to a different location at the Citadel I get the loading screen then it goes to a black screen. I have to reset my PS3 every time that happens

Speaking of, what's the deal with the supposed timed quests? I've done a lot of side quests but nothing at all has run out on me, and I mean, look at my play time. It's not like I rush.

Before I leave the Citadel, I go to every level and just open up the map. If there's someone you can turn a quest into or a terminal or whatever, it'll be listed.

So it turns out I completely forgot that I preordered a copy of ME3 collector's edition from BB (instore pickup). Got the pc version and am happily playing already, should I just ebay it or cancel the order?

I don't think they are timed but if you are finishing Priority (main story) missions before you finish certain side quests, those side quests in question get removed from your list. That's my understanding of it.

If you haven't been able to import an ME2 save to ME3, just load up ME2 again and do the Suicide mission again. Once done that will allow you to get your dude into ME3.
Hope that helps anyone who is sat there wondering why their saves won't import.

I'm holding out for the eventual Anderson-Kai Leng interaction DLC.
Doesn't matter if it's just a few lines in the MP, but that shit needs to be in there.
I know, but that particular quest showed nothing since i had to find multiple terminals. It was quite annoying.
It was the quest with Kasumi and the "indoctrinated" Hanar.

Agreed. I cant put my finger on it, her body seems to have some kind of contorted lizard-esque quality to it. Also Chobot comes off a little uncomfortable/nervous reading her lines and theres a pretty jarring disconnect between male Shepards lines being professionally read and her.

Sucks to hear people having issues with their imported Shepard. I guess I was lucky that mine exported fine, been having a blast with the game so far.
The From Ashes DLC really feels like it should have been in the main game, if you're a lore fan it's got a lot of info you'd want to know.
First thing I did when I got onto the Normandy was talk to Joker. I wasn't disappointed, loved his "Let me know if you want to call the council so you can hang up on them, you know, for old times sake".

I do. Annoys me to no end.
Speaking of, when is the datapad app supposed to release?

Yeah so dumb. I've played ME1 and ME 2 about 6 times using the same shepard, and ME2's colors are pretty de-saturated, so my ME1 imported Shepard's eyes stood out really well, and I liked that alot. But the face code thing forces me to use the only shade of green ME2 has. Disappointing.
Hi guys, a question. My class is adept, and in Mass Effect 2 I could pull guys towards me, and then throw them and they'd fly away nice and far. That is thanks to the low cooldown times, so basically I was combining powers really really fast-like.
During the opening of ME3, with my imported character, everything seemed to work like it did in ME2. I was pulling and throwing guys like never before, and it felt GREAT. Now, I've leveled up (lvl. 31) and the cooldown on my Pull and Throw powers is gigantic...Meaning I can't combine those powers anymore. I haven't upgraded my powers at all...
Do you guys have the same thing? 'Cause man, is it frustrating! It takes the fun out of playing as an adpet... Why BioWare?

Cool downs are related to encumberance from weapon weight. The more guns, the longer the recharge time. Try using just a pistol or an SMG. That will boost recharge times a ton.

Yes, the clusters will open up as you complete missions.
You're using too many weapons. Just use a pistol and SMG.

Reduce the # of guns you bring. I either just use 1 assault rifle or 1 pistol

Finished it. Great game. I still liked ME2 better in so ways. I much prefer the interactions in that game. Your ship feels.. empty in ME3 compared to ME2 and I didn't care for the characters that are in your squad compared to who they left out.

So yeah, just for a break in the spoilers and in honor of ME3, I'm going to share one of my all time favorite photos of the surface of Mars, showing the trails that dust devils have left across the dunes.

OMG, can't get over how unorganized the Journal is now. I don't know which ones I need to hold on to before I can even attempt to finish them and which ones I can do now. Even worse, is when you obtain the means to finish a quest, the Journal gives NO indication of such.
