Spending about an hour exploring the Normandy. Ship upgrades carry over from ME2, sweet.

Later on in the story you get a floor on the citadel called D2 Holding Area or something. That's it.

It depends on how you do it...
if you can convince the migrant fleet to withdraw you get the geth and quarians skipping off into the sunset hand and hand outcome even if you let legion upload the code....legion sacrifices himself though with an awesome ending though. None of the character deaths have pissed me off yet except

Some of them you need to get the items during missions on certain planets. You don't get them all from scanning.
50% of the time I stumble into the wrong Mass Effect 3. Luckily I back out quickly enough for the spoilers ones but still...there are a lot of threads talking mass effect 
Also, after a certain priority mission, you will be unable to complete certain side mission because the NPC is no longer there.

If you mean the list that's on the 3rd floor of the Normany then it's the deaths of the people who served on the Normandy. So you're ME1 crew will be on there for sure and possibly ME2 depending on your save and whoever from ME3.

Really impressed with the graphics here, a noticable step up from ME2.
I'm already finding myself absorbed into the universe.

So this has probably been asked before, but I'm trying to stay away from ME-related threads right now (20 hours in).
It's about the galaxy map (spoiler tag just in case):
Not excellently phrased but I hope you get what I mean.
It's about the galaxy map (spoiler tag just in case):
Do you lose anything when captured by reapers? Or is the only setback that I have to start over? If that's so, then nothing is stopping me to just randomly scan around, memorize the locations of the war assets, possibly get captured, restart, and then just scan again at the memorized locations without alerting reapers?
Not excellently phrased but I hope you get what I mean.

On romancing (earlyish in the game): In ME1 I romanced Ashley. IN ME2 I romanced Miranda. In ME3 I just ran into
Miranda on the Citadel docks, right after talking to Ashley in the hospital after she accepted Spectre status. After some chit chat she cuts to the chase.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU. I went into the game intending on going with Ashley for sure. But I feel like I've been through more with Miranda since character development in ME1 was not as robust. And I tried both options and shooting her down just makes me sad. Her reaction is heart breaking. It sucks that there isn't a middle of the road answer that allows you to still converse with her afterwards. I'm assuming she just kind of disappears the rest of the game if you choose that option, but when I reloaded and chose the other option I was able to converse with her and find out about her sister and shit, making it seem like it might lead to a mission or something later in the game.
I'm guessing she isn't going to be part of the crew, so it almost seems weird romancing essentially a "cameo" character instead of a main character, but I just hate that the options to answer her question are so black and white. :/ Damn you Bioware.

Speaking of Harbinger, (early game spoilers)
I'm doing the Tuchanka stuff now and... where in the hell is Harbinger? I'm ten hours into the game and I haven't heard any of his "ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL THIS HURTS YOU I AM UNSTOPPABLE" shenanigans yet. Given his fascination with Shepard, you would think he would be the first to stalk him/her across the galaxy.
Bioware's writers probably just forgot.

He doesn't talk. Not even once. lol
Just scan around the entire star system and the entire cluster. If they manage to catch you, the game restarts right where you are. So the plan should be to enter a cluster and 100% it. The penalty of being caught is so small, it doesn't even matter.
Why's it so hard for me to get my dick wet in this game?
Below is just covering my ass but it's about the gals in the game.

Trayner or whatever her name is wants to get down with EDI, and Diana seemed a bit vague after I invited her to my room for an interview. As for Miranda, she disappeared after the Citadel and Liara is such a tight ass in this game apart from a measly kiss or two.

I see I never got Kasumi, only DLC I played was Shadow Broker, oh well
Question about side missions and such. I'm just starting act 2 I believe and want to know how to proceed.
I picked up 3 side missions that seem to actually be side missions. I'm also tasked with speaking to the quarians for the first time. I want Tali on my squad as soon as possible but I don't want to fail those 3 side missions. Will it be a while before she joins and I should probably do the side stuff first now? Or is it cool to go meet with them?

Just for the fun and some good old memories, here is the X06 Demo-Walkthrough. You know, that one with the originally intended squad commands and the awesome galaxy map that never made it ingame...

I played space chess with her but that was it after what she told me regarding in my spoiler post. Do I have to persist with her then?
Can only romance her if your female.

From Ashes spoilers;
This mission is good old ME1 retro nostalgia. Lots of exploring, balanced combat, and codecs to read. Aw yeh.
What the hell. My level just reset. I started a new mission and couldnt use any squad powers. I check the menu and theyre all locked and its listing me at level 1 with only 3 points to dump into powers.
My closest manual save is from 2 hours ago when I was level 46. How the hell did this happen?
EDIT: Seems to be happening to others too :\

That galaxy map looks soooo good yet sooooo CG, I doubt they had anything like that for the game.
Figures. Damn it.
Is it even possible to get the EMS score to 5000 without MP? I´m almost to the end of the game, done every single fucking quest, side quest, bullshit assignment and im nowhere near 5000...
It seems you can only get the satisfactory post credits ending if your over 5000 EMS.

Bullshit man, she sounds much better in the final game.
Sounds like Jack.

Any only if you don't go past a certain point game wise. Not sure what that point is. I went in as soon as I had the option....mmmmm shower sex.

So it's completely impossible to get to Level 60 in one playthrough?

It's a cool map but looks like it could've been hard to navigate a non circular solar system
Maaaannnn, that ending was stupid.
I'm gonna crash. Hop into the spoiler thread later...
WOW.

WOW.
I was well into 58.
On your first playthrough?
I'm pretty sure? Another gaffer mentioned the same thing so I don't think it's just me.
Yes, it's possible.
I'm confused, does that mean you need a cumulative War Asset score of 10 000? (x 50% Galaxy At War readiness = 5 000 EMS)
Level 60 in a single playthrough is likely doable, but tough. I got to level 58 or 59 during my playthrough with an imported ME2 character, starting at level 30. I reached level 60 in the second area of NG+. You can earn a lot of extra XP by using as little omni gel as possible, as omni gel dispensers give you XP instead of omni gel if your inventory is full.

After you kill that small Reaper with a orbital strike, he talks to you & mentions Harbinger talking about Shepard to the other Reapers.
I could imagine it going down like they were all sitting at a poker table when he starts talking about Shepard lol.
I used one omnigel the whole game, and I'd always get 90-100% of every pickup on every level unless I overlooked something, imported at 30, I couldn't do the kasumi/hanar/conrad quests because they bugged out, and I dont think I missed anything else.
Not sure how you can get four more levels out of that...

Well, it seemed like I was well on my way until I was like an inch from the finishing line and still stuck at 58.
I don't know why it's different, I took care of every side mission I could.
... That may have played a part, I guess. Though I don't see how it could've made enough of a difference to clear a level 'n some change.
What? I thought it was a max of 30 since that's the highest you could be after ME2.
Or did you use some kind of editor?
Yep, you need to reach 10000 or more war effort resources. Guess ill have to hit MP, because even with all the systems explored, side quests,
even making peace with geth and quarians
Guess Bioware lied when they said it was possible to get the full endgame experience without mp?
Maybe if the new game plus gives you extra resources it would be doable, still sucks to replay this again.
