If you install the 2nd Disc why must you still swap? They should have followed what Forza4 did.

15 hours in, love basically everything except that. Doesn't fit in the slightest in either of my shepherd's actions to have that happen.
This game has caught me the same way the past 2 did. One more mission just one more convo oh god I gotta go sleep/workout/work/class etc im late
Also it's so over the top/poorly written that it seems like a drunken fan just jammed his fan fiction in randomly resulting in this awful shit.
Pic i took yesterday.
Yeah yeah, i know imgur bad quality lulz.
Skybox spoiler i guess?

What is this in reference to?
Thinking about my playstyle and i've determined i need to change class. Good thing i haven't progressed far yet.
My choices: Vanguard or Sentinel as both have biotics but also others.
Currently leaning towards Vanguard... but i never was a fan of Charge in ME2. Even with ME3's enhanced melee (and Nova), not really a fan of close quarters combat in this game. Wondering i could play the game without Charge, or with very small reliance on it (finisher, to get away from groups), mostly using the mix of Pull, Shockwave, ammo powers and weapons.
Not exactly how the class is meant to be played... but it is closest to how i'd like to play. Not really a fan of class systems in RPGs and Action RPGs, i want to choose how i play, not choose from desinged playstyles. (Class system does not diminish my liking of Mass Effect though.)
Need to think of possible Sentinel builds before commiting on Vanguard though.

Spacebar is use, roll, sprint and cover.
If you don't want to use Charge then play Adept/Sentinel so you can use Warp combos.
I took it as a reference to the space bar (by default on PC) doing various things, i.e. getting into cover, rolling, activating, sprinting.
Edit: beaten
The beauty of ME3's new system is you can now tailor a class to your own playstyle.
Vanguard is classically a dominant close-range fighter, but now you can equip him with a sniper rifle if you want to take the hit to your recharge rate, and just sit back and own fools long-range.
"Use/Cover/Storm" is all bound to the same button. You can change it from spacebar to something else, but it'll still all be tied to a button.

You can remap it but all those actions are tied to the same key, it was the same in ME2, though you couldn't roll or sprint indefinitely back then.
Good luck with that.
Gears of War has a lot to answer for and this is one of them.
I don't mind having one button for cover/storm, but stuff like activating doors or reviving teammates needed to be on another button.
That is true and i really like that in ME3. I'd probably stick back, use Pull to draw enemies to my line of sight and then blast them with a shotgun or assault rifle. And use the other powers as needed. And of course i can always revert to CQC style if i get bored of hanging back.
On the other hand...
Considering this as Sentinel is extremly flexible. Playing as Adept currently but that class cannot deal with shields and there is too much overlap with Liara (romanced her) and the DLC character. Having either team mate to Pull enemies or trap the enemies in Singularity would allow me to detonate those or they could boost my Throws. All the while being able to get rid of shields with Overload. EDIT this one has issues with bonus power selection. Slam overlaps too much with Warp and Throw, unlike with Vanguard's powers (Pull+Slam combo is one of the best things in the whole Mass Effect series). What else i could use as bonus power? EDIT2 what about stacking Tech Armor and Fortification?
Both styles appeal to me.... How do you choose beetween two equally interesting things?
A less extreme FOV leads to much less distortion but is still vastly superior to the default.

Is every N7 mission a reworked multiplayer arena/combat scenario? I'm tempted to skip more of them but I don't want to miss out on any story content by doing so.
You still get distortion either way, though, which sucks. I'm blaming Bioware, not people who try to fix the FOV, which is totally understandable.
Bioware doesn't seem to understand that when you're playing on PC, you're probably playing on a monitor, and if you're using a monitor, you're probably sitting pretty damn close to it.

Am I the only one with problems getting ME3 to recognize my ME2 dlc events? Or is that normal? I did all of the me2 dlc after the ending and (me2 dlc spoilers and early me3)
Can I do something about this?
Liara have no clue I was with her at the Shadow Broker and neither does my Shepard.
Now you are nitpicking the modified FOV.

Very high FOV

Getting ready to begin what I'm assuming is the final mission. (Late game spoilers)
One more thing.
Tali is funny as shit.
The fight against Kai Leng in the Illusive Man's room looked so cool. I took the Renegade interrupt afterwards when he was sneaking up on me, so I'm wondering if missing it would have resulted in EDI saving me at the cost of her body. Finding out the Citadel is the Catalyst was okay. I was expecting something else, but it doesn't really surprise me. And now I'm headed to Earth to presumably take it back.
One more thing.

Mighty fine ham indeed.
If you can't tell there's still distortion in the "middle ground" FOV then good for you. It clearly doesn't bother you, so yay?
Ugh, anyone playing their genocide Shepard doing ok? I only have 3 squad members, the 3 mandatory ones. It doesn't suck but it's not what it should be. I thought I would have Garrus's twin sister, but you don't. You get no alternative. Argh! Oh man, and I sent spoiler!!!!!!! spoiler!!!!!!!
I feel so fucking dumb. I wanna finish this fast and get to my paragon FemShep, but the game is sooo good. Can't believe I haven't turned the difficulty down to easy.
And is the DLC companion on the disc or is it the online pass? thanks!
Ashley to Hackett. It was the renegade option
And is the DLC companion on the disc or is it the online pass? thanks!
Did not all of anyone else's choices not seem to carry over? So far there have been two instances where things I clearly remember doing in ME2 didn't seem to carry over.
Is this related to the 360 import save issue? This is beyond frustrating.
I clearly remember doing the Shadow Broker mission, but Liara told me about how she got a squad together and stormed the previous SB's fortress, and now I'm doing a quest at an Asari Colony related to Morinth, who should be dead when Samara killed her in ME2.

You can respec so you can see what you prefer.
Do we have to?
My import has worked fine so far. The game has gotten an update, maybe it fixed issues like that? If it did and you imported the save before the game was patched...
Once again a game that could have used a few weeks more testing...
Has ol' Ash found something new to hate?
i guess not. it is usually easier to ignore awkward issues afterall.
I haven't heard anything.
I did do the dialog again though when I first thought I heard: "I had a husband there"
Is there any? I feel like the gay characters were rather believable and developed, as far as I've gotten. Traynor is easily one of the most interesting non-party members in the franchise.
Yeah, this is pretty annoying. I hate to see what else has been affected. I'm already too far in to stop now.
So the saves transfer just fine now after the patch?

Bioware Social showing it's colors again?
Sorry, I refuse to go there to find the answer
I did the passive. Cuts down the power recharge immensely.
You meet a Salarian in the Embassy, then you'l bump into her afterwards. If you've done Priority: Tuchanka, then you'll be locked out of this side quest.
Nothing awkward about it or surprising, though I do wonder about the scale of this backlash. Where is it coming from? BSN? Fox News?
There are gay people in ME3, and it's not even in your face about it, but there will always be homophobic reactions to this kind of inclusion. Not much to talk about, IMO.
No. GMG is a proper store, don't fret.
Nah GMG is legit, which is why there's a GMG thread open somewhere.
