also, Dragonforce in GHIII
Did anybody play through the game maxing out both Charm and Intimidate. I want to do that to open up more dialog options but I'm worried about gimping my character combat-wise.
Also, exactly how many free points do we get in Charm and Intimidate as we progress through the story? I know that when you become a
, you'll get one free point in Charm and one free point in Intimidate. Are there any other such instances in the game?

Just got the Rich Achievement a few minutes ago, and man, the stats on the Spectre weapons are insane - as if my shotgun wasn't a lethal boomstick before! 
Got the Specter Assault Rifle and Sniper for Ashley and the Pistol for myself apart from the shotgun too... not to mention we're all decked out in matching Mercenary armor - I just LOVE the armor designs in this game, especially the way everything just coordinates together - you know we're a squad when we're strolling through the city...
Quick and dirty shots of the squad in matching gear (all found in boxes BTW, and hella strong too):
Damn I love this game...

how do you get that armor?
Linkzg said:
Found them all - I hadn't bought anything but grenade and first aid kit supply increases until I got the Rich Achievement and bought the Spectre weapons my best weapon/armor found was always better than the best that the stores sold...
And this armor is pretty strong when compared to my level, mods and where I'm at (level 33 thanks to many sidequests done, and I'm about halfway storywise I think, so fights are no problem for me whatsoever... the name of the armor is Mercenary, and I think it started dropping when I hit level 30...

Not really, if you look close it is +500% overheat and +500% Weapon Force while only being +28% damage. Basically it is worthless unless you find a bunch of people sitting in each others' laps and want to knock them over. Sledgehammer rounds will do basically the same thing without overheating your gun every shot.
High Explosive Rounds, the level 10 version has a 420cm blast radius.
Best armors I've found:
Predator M X (medium-human)
Predator H X (heavy-human)
Predator L X (light-human)
Predator L X (light-turian)
Predator H X (heavy-krogan)
Collosus X (light-quarian)
I haven't found Predator armor for a Quarian, may not exist. The Collosus stuff is almost as good as the Predator, Collosus has slighty higher damage protection while Predator series has has higher shielding.
The Collosus armor series looks the coolest, imho, black and red patterns.
Woo-Fu said:Most of the rounds do that, though, and they don't overheat your gun.
If you're sniping geth you want Tungsten rounds, trust me.

Nice...I really hope we get to see what Quarians look like at some point, same thing with Volus.

I find Tali and Wrex to be the most entertaining companions. They both have interesting back stories and have distinct personalities.

Yup but the Volus wont survive outside their suits and the Quarians wont do so well either. So hopefully we will be able to visit their home world and the fleet. Also we didn't have a Salarian character with us, so that also sucked. Oh and more alien romance. There is so much that they can add to the next game, i cant wait.

It depends. If you really suck at that Simon Says mini game that you need to do when you hack things, then you should probably turn some into omni-gel. Also, it seems like every single item, no matter the quality gives you the same 4 omni-gel so you might be better off turning cheaper items into gel and selling the more expensive stuff.
I never had any problems with running out of omni-gel (I had like 200 or so at the end of the game) so I just sold everything until I had too much money to know what to do with.
Edit: oh yeah, the item limit is 150 items. It starts to warn you once you have 130 items or more I think.

Man, after browsing this thread I feel like my squad has some really shitty equipment.
I'm SO jealous.

as you play the game the amount of money you get and the quality of items that drop increases and a ridiculous rate.

After beating the game yesterday, I went back to an earlier save and completed every damn mission I could except one where the guy I was supposed to report to was already dead. I ended up with 9,999,999 credits well before the last planet but I topped out at level 49, and despite using the same team for the entire game (except one damn mission) and getting the Completionist achievement, I did not get any of the Ally Completionist achievements.
So tell me, GAF, how the hell do I get to level 50 (or 60 for that matter), and what do I need to do to get the Ally achievements?!?

I got some armor for Sheppard just before I finished the game, it was just above Mercenary, and it was totally godly. Red as well. For the life of me, I can't recall what it was called.

Start a new career then pick use existing profile. Also the game is very picky when it comes to the "ally" achievements.

I prefer the Colossus because there are shield mods that can dramatically boost your protection. Though I suppose there are damage protection mods that do the same, I still like the combination with Colossus better. Shields are easier to manage than health.

If I do this, am I locked into my class? Also, can I play on Hardcore or Insane with this character. The new game + doesn't seem to be well thought out and is definitely not explained worth a damn within the game.

You cannot change any parameters. You are essentially replaying your character.
The only way to modify your class is the Luna side-mission IIRC.

You add one new attribute which basically acts as a modifier for your existing skills. I didn't see a way to really change anything when I had the choice.

Yes. I should say that you can change the difficultly with game+, you aren't locked into that.
Also if you get particular achievements (like the get 150 kills with assault rifle) you unlock that skill for NEWLY created characters to use, think Adept + assault rifle.

150+ is max shield mod, seems like. Instead of maxing shield with mods, I max shield regen rate and health regen rate. If somebody's shields are going down they're going to die anyways if I don't pull them back.
Problem with the mods that max shields is that that is all they do. I go with Kinetic Exo and Health Exo on most of them, swap out Health Exo for Combat Exo on the Krogan since he has built-in regen.
Playing on insanity the problem isn't defense anyways, it is offense. Anything that is a base class of soldier or krogan is a royal pain to kill. Everybody has immunity, everybody has full heal, everybody has shield boost, it is like you have to kill them 4 times over before they start to die. The Krogan Battlemasters are the worst, not only are they very hard to kill they also like to charge everybody and kill people in 2 melee attacks.

I guess that's reasonable. After all, the Salarians are no Elites*.segarr said:
* Halo reference
There's some very fascinating stuff on the bonus DVD that came with the LE. For example, the noise at the title screen (which is in fact the signal noise from Sovereign) was recorded inside a bear-proof trash can in a national park in Alberta.
There's also some good interviews with various members of the dev team and what they think about working on more powerful hardware, something I'm sure GAF would love totalk argue about.
As I sit here with the soundtrack selections from that very DVD playing, I think I've got to say that this game is up there as one of my all-time favorites. Despite its flaws, it delivers one hell of a unique and powerful experience.
