half way through the game, and it hit me that this game is much funnier than the last two even though the premise and tone is darker. I really appreciate that.

That was the worst, he was the best damn character in the entire series.
I have to actually give Bioware credit for following through with that, Casey Hudson mentioned their plans to do that a while ago.
Agreed,
but it all made so much sense: his role in creating the genophage, that talk about getting old and wanting to fix the wrong things he did, and the scene as a whole, it was perfect.

Loved that scene. My only quibble was that i wish they cut to black during that final line. I hate the long pauses between interrupts, whether in speech or actions.

My ME2 save isn't working in ME3 on PC. I've got it in the correct folder, but nothing appears when I try to import in game. I know I've cleared the game but nothing I do allows it to appear in the import menu. Any ideas?
Jesus, the number of quests you get on the Citadel after the
is ridiculous! And here i was planning to do all of them before the next Priority mission... man this is going to take me hours!
And yeah, the Mordin's
I've seen the worst renegade version of it on Youtube and i'm not sure if i'll ever do it myself, i mean,
Cerberus attack
And yeah, the Mordin's
death scene was quite powerful.
fucking shooting Mordin and seeing him crawl on the ground trying to reach the terminal before dying was tough to watch. 
That was the high point for me, but there's still plenty of cool shit left to do.

just finished this bad boy up a few minutes ago, overall it was amazing
I really enjoyed the trilogy despite it's flaws, so many memorable moments, characters, places. It really is quite an accomplishment, for BioWare to have tied these 3 games together in the way they did.
My ending was really really really disappointing, and glitched a bit I think due to the DLC.

I took Javik on the last mission, it seemed like he died trying to make it to the Citadel Beam along with my other squadmate, but after the end game he stepped off the Normandy with 2 others as the only survivors of my crew...?
Which save is it/where did it come from? I imported a ME2 save from the xbox 360 to the PC, and nothing would work until I randomly decided to import the autosave (or the other non-numbered save, I forget what it was called). The numbered saves would not show up no matter what I did.
That happened to me, except with
Liara
I felt that, when you get to the Quarian missions,
resolving the conflict between the Geth and Quarians peacefully was one of the best moments of the game.
I chose Javik and Liara. I needed biotic explosions out the ASS. So many Banshees and Brutes strutting about that taking along a tech specialist to take down Marauder shields wasn't worth it; especially considering that Javik's Dark Channel move combined with any other biotic move will take down those shields effectively regardless.
I found the singing to be the more emotional moment for me.

WHAT THE FUCK
I click resume game.
It loads.
My female shepard is now a red head with a different face. She's wearing a different costume. All of my powers are locked. My reputation is now BEYOND maxed. WTF?
I restart the game and click load instead of resume and my Shepard is back to normal.
I am scared - I've already had a ton of glitches where I cannot return items I've found on planets to people in the citadel, but this takes the cake.

The saves are all on the PC side. I'm trying to play ME3 on pc too. The folder is in c:users\mikespit1200\documents\bioware\mass effect 3\save. There's a few numbered saves and some auto saves too. I'm not sure if there's a step I'm missing
Aw man, got a message in-game that the
is dead.
I wonder how that works out if
Quarian Adam Baldwin
Oh man,was pretty well done tooThane's death
I wonder how that works out if
he died in ME2. Specifically, that scene in the Citadel mission where he fights cereal ninja. Does his son do it?
The me2 saves need to be in \documents\bioware\mass effect 2, not 3.

Just tried copying the saves over to ME2 and that didn't work either.

OK, so if I click resume I get someone elses Shepard:
If I load my save I get my real Shepard:

It was a very nice surprise for my Shep (having romanced her in ME2) when she told him
"I love you"

Oh well, so long

Tali. I never liked the quarians anyway. No way was I going to order the death of the Geth. The quarians had it coming the stubborn bastards.
;(
Anyway, the geth fleet is now my second strongest war asset. I wonder how strong it would've been if I destroyed the heretics in ME2.
The full path for me is:
users\*whatever name you've used*\My Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect 2\Save\Jane_12_Soldier_110710
I don't know if the last folder was something I created while trying to make it work, or if it's supposed to be there. I also have autosave.pcsav in the "save" folder.
Do you still have ME2 installed?

mine would kick that chick's ass. I actually hated how my shepard looked at first when I made her in ME1, but after a few hours into ME1 and she grew on me. ME3 fucked her up a bit when I loaded my save - had to change her hair, eye colour, and a few other values, but she's close enough to the real deal. the thought of playing another shepard now just disturbs me.
It's Shepard's turn to shine, and the gang's back in town. At least, that's how I felt.
I'm only a little disappointed that there were no new characters besides James. The game feels like it's missing something, like a fresh prespective. James is simply not giving that to me. I like the reunions, since none of the main cast died except for Ashley and the crew from ME2, but the nostalgia is what's driving this game. It's nice, yet discontenting at the same time.
Javic's being DLC makes him an in-limbo new character.

Yup I've got the same folder setup, although my Jane folder is a bit different. I have ME2 installed but my last saves won't load. I get an error about missing DLC. I'm thinking it could be my HDD upgrade that is causing the trouble.

Finished the game. It was pretty damn good (well until the last 10 minutes or so where they seemed determined to fuck up all the good work they had done). Still, excepting that it was really well done and has somewhat renewed my formerly lost faith in Bioware.
Vega is laughable. Even his name makes me want to laugh out loud. Kaiden 2.0 total.
As far as the DLC character he feels fleshed out. He actually has several full on conversations throughout the story.
I'm still perplexed by his status though. Especially given the fact that his inclusion in a particular mission gives you some back story, which was mentioned earlier in this thread.
I wish he were better introduced and were a real teammate instead of "the DLC character."

Words cannot describe how bad Vega is. I would take an entire squad consisting of Carth, Alistar and Kaiden before I would take his super dudebro with extra bro sauce ass into battle. I'm glad that fucker is way out of the way so that I never, ever have to go visit him for any reason. I pray that there is an option to have him sacrifice himself.

I made a save before doing this myself just in case going there wiped out some side-missions. You can go do the meeting and that character becomes available without forcing you into the Priority portions of said character's quest. Didn't even know the character joined right away until checking my squad setup on the in-game personal computer.
Yup. That happens.
James is boring. period.
I don't even remember why he is part of the crew. Because he happened to be there when Shepard boarded Normandy? I dunno.

isn't a party member. I'm REALLY disappointed in all the party members in 3.
In terms of party quality 2>1>>>>>3
They gave me that too early. They killed the person I cared most about. I literally can not be any more emotionally invested because I've lost everything. You could kill Jack(my love interest), Garrus, Anderson, and whatever else and it won't be anywhere close. Fuck you Wrex. Fuck you and your baby arms with your chip on your shoulder. The greatest character Bioware has created since Minsc is dead because of you. I'm full on renegade but I paragon prompted hoping to god that I could save him
Also, disappointed that it looks like

You do know that the Renegade option actually saves him, right?
That's not technically a renegade option though. I didn't gain any paragon points for what I did.

Wrex has to be dead in 1 for Mordin to survive
