M29 Widow is picked up late in the game.

Black Widow is purchased in Spectre store.
EDIT: i still think newcomers can appreciate a good game when they see one. some of the lore will fly over their heads, but the game is still very playable.

Did you guys see that there is a final hours of mass effect 3 for the iPad like portal 2? The book keighley wrote.
Is it written by him?

Looks it. Haven't bought it yet since I haven't finished the game, but the listed app is portal 2, so I assume so.
Yeah and if it is as good as the Portal 2 one it is definitely worth a look. That was very well written and an interesting read.
Yeah, I don't have an Ipad,
. The portal 2 one was eventually released on steam though right? might give that one a shot.brianmcdoogle

Speaking of iPad, I can't log into origin on either of the mass effect 3 apps. I just reset my password to see if that would fix it, but I still get an error connecting.
GAF, I'm at the end of the game, or at least, I think so. So help me out here:
Massive fucking ending spoilers: I just
Massive fucking ending spoilers: I just
I just met the Catalyst. Do the three endings give you something different or is my choice arbitrary (I assume so because of the outlash at the ending everywhere making me think there's only one)? Is there a "best ending"? I haven't gone through with it yet so a spoiler-free answer would be appreciated. I have 5000+ EMS. I'm leaning towards synthesis as the best choice, the other two seem to have consequences attached. It seems like the game "wants" you to take this, but I'm sitting here and am confused as Shepherd.

Just a dialog spoiler with ME2 character meeting Javik:
LOL
Jack: What the hell is this? (paraphrased this one)
Javik: I'm fifty thousand years older than you.
Jack (completely unintimidated): No shit. Shepard does find the weird ones.

If you go right, Bioware gives you an extra tug... in the worst HJ of your life. (due to your high EMS)
I'm not sure how to interpret this..
Is that the extra clip I've heard rumoured of? Does that mean all 3 are the same and the right side decision just gives you something extra?
There is no best ending. Just slight variations on one central theme. If your EMS is high enough, you get a small extra scene at the end. That extra scene is kind of dumb and without any kind of meaning.
Pick one. They are all bad.

While the 3 endings are not identical they really might as well be. It's insulting. And yes, opting to destroy with an EMS of over 4k will show the very brief scene
Here's a question:
Do you like Berry, Lime, or Cherry? Pick which one you like and then go in that direction.
Ah! A
lime fan
At this point I think Bioware twitches any time a person says the letters DLC.
Drove me nuts that they only had two tracks though. I went into that damn club so many times. Would have been nice if Bioware could have sprung for some more/better dance tracks.
I can't wait to beat this game so I can highlight all these quotes, because that Seth gif... damn man.I spent 10 minutes trying to decide and now that it's over...
I'm doing an Insanity Infiltrator Renegade run and wanted to try FemShep, but maaaaan the new game choices are terrible. Once I got to the Normandy I saw a huge list on the memorial wall and decided to just import my Renegade ME2 character. Atleast I start at level 30 again...

Could someone who is at or past the quarian part of the game do me a favor and screencap their list of private terminal messages? In my game it's all messed up and out of order and I have no idea if I'm getting new ones. Looks like the most recent one I got was from
but I don't think it was ever marked as unread and it is not anywhere near the top of my message list.
Samara
Anybody?
Did you receive an email to meet her in the
Presidium Commons?
http://www.ign.com/wikis/mass-effect-3/Romance
No,
a Cafe in Citadel. Kaidan emailed me and asked me to meet him there
So does that mean that I should get another mail after the one that disappeared
inviting me to meet her at the cafe
Confusing, especially since I don't want to read up on this stuff on any faqs.
She's back, I just finished Rannoch. I chatted with her a couple of times on the Citadel in the hospital, then invited her on the ship after taking out Udina. She was in the observation room but I couldn't start a conversation. Got a message to talk to her after saving the general on Rannoch iirc and found her lying on the ground in the obs room. Checked my PMs and saw a mail from her. Read it and it said something about getting some time just the two of us. Seemed to intimate that she wanted to meet in my cabin. Went to check the mail and it had disappeared. Went to my cabin and have no option to invite. That's where I am now. Did save just at the point where I can look at the mail once before it disappears just in case it gets patched. Wondering if it shafts that romance line.
i'm very quickly approaching the end of the game, and i was wondering, with a total of 3300-3500 ems, will i get the best ending? this is after the multiplayer multiplier of 50% affects the 6700-7000 ems that i have (it's a full green bar).
or would i need to have 10000 ems to be mulitplied against the multiplayer percentage thing to get 5000 ems and the true ending

It's impossible to get 5000 ems without playing the MP or editing the values, apparently. Maximum assets you can obtain in the game is a bit above 7k or so.
Mails don't disappear unless you delete them. But they usually fall off to either the middle or very bottom of the pile after your read them. Confusing, I know.

Seriously, don't bother. It isn't worth the effort. Just play the game how you normally would and don't take notice of the EMS.
You're about 70-75% complete.

So you decided it's a great idea to post it in here so that all of us could read it too. smh

I had a question on something on how this game involves choice and quest progression from ME2 to ME3. Early game spoiler in ME3 regarding the Kasumi DLC in ME2.
Just wondering how the game would handle that situation for somebody who never downloaded that DLC. Try not to give other examples please, as I have only just started ME3's single player.
So, I got the Kasumi DLC, and played through it, finished it. Thumbs up right. And now I'm playing ME3, and I met the Salarian operative. And Kasumi approached me. Quest begins. Right. Whatever. But what would happen if I never downloaded that DLC from ME2, would this side quest not exist in ME3? Or, would the character Kasumi exist and this side quest exist, but my Shepherd isn't as familiar with the situation or the character (via background story) if I never downloaded the DLC in ME2.
Just wondering how the game would handle that situation for somebody who never downloaded that DLC. Try not to give other examples please, as I have only just started ME3's single player.
Haven't played that DLC, I'm at the point of no return, and there never was any reference to that.
