Let's see if my update to the question does anything to discourage bad answers.

Tim Stone

Yeah, let me see if I can dig a little deeper here...

FallenAngelEyes

bleeeegh, finally done figuring out this dumb bug and posting an answer so I can actually play the game again

LessPop_MoreFizz

@FallenAngelEyes What are you up to?

FallenAngelEyes

@LessPop_MoreFizz Haven't gotten much further than when we last talked. I now have 750187432 freaking sidequests again I have to do.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@FallenAngelEyes Yeah, that's one of the two points in the game where it explodes with side quests.

I have none and I'm not gonna get anymore, even though I still have a little ways to go to the end. :/

Between those, dinner, and asking/answering on the site, I've not gotten very far today. Time to go out and re-scan the galaxy, after spending a portion of the afternoon 100%ing it...

I will give you one tip: When you get to Rannoch, there is a fork, like the one at Tuchanka, where you can do one of two missions, then advance, or do the other. Make sure you do both. When you do the one for the Quarians, save one, not many, lest you end up wanting to tear your hair out with backtracking.

Q: How do I associate my physical copies of Mass Effect 3 with my Origin account?

How is it done? Do the discs come with an activation code? If I can, do I need the physical copies of Mass Effect 3 or can I download the game through Origin from that point on?

Q: How long before you get untagged for a kill in League of Legends?

Sometimes your only options might be to kill yourself on a turret, monster or minion. How long from the last time an enemy attacked you until you die does it have to be for it not to count towards your enemy score? I belive it is called an execution when you do this.

Q: In APB Reloaded, how do I change outfits?

I have tried every button on the screen but it doesn't work. I want to change to the new clothes I won in the game. I wish there were better instructions or that they would make the game easier to figure out.

Q: Do my emotional choices affect the story?

I am playing Golden Sun: Dark Dawn and noticed that sometimes I need to give an emotional response to something that was said. Do these decisions affect anything ? Or are they purely aesthetic?

@TylerShads What was the scroll wheel option?

Ben Brocka

@TylerShads you are such a meanie face

TylerShads

@RavenDreamer It was either "Now is not the time" or "Shut up" and I picked the first, Shepard appears to be in a bitchy move after a certain mission...oh well, just makes renegade that much more funny

@BenBrocka Full Renegade playthrough FTW

Raven Dreamer

My most memorable BioWheel conversation faux pas was

"How Sad" -> "Why doesn't he just get the fuck over it?"

TylerShads

@RavenDreamer lov eit

Raven Dreamer

It was directed towards a PTSD vet, so...

I felt kinda bad about that.

TylerShads

12:27 AM

@RavenDreamer i think i just remembered that one, wasn tit me2?

Raven Dreamer

Nope.

ME1 spacer background exclusive sidequest.

TylerShads

You talk to Shep's mother.

Or maybe Captain, actually.

Q: Exact rewards from the mission "Priority - Eden Prime"

After I finished the mission and spoke with Jalik, I remember there were three "popups" with rewards from it. One was the assault rifle and another one a biotic power. But I forgot what was the last reward, I only remember it had the "Information" header in the popup. I tried to load a save and ...

Q: PSN+ on all profiles on same console?

Please tell me that Sony doesn't expect me to pay for full subscriptions per account just to enable backing up game data to the cloud? I just got a subscription just so me and my family won't have to worry about losing our game data. But when I go to enable PSN+ backups of save data on accounts ...

AGH apparently ME3 also has a limit of 50 saves

Tristan

@LessPopMoreFizz That was the best sans-spoiler advice I've seen for Mass Effect 3 so far.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Tristan I thought it was pretty good advice.

The other big one is VISIT THE SURVIVOR IN THE HOSPITAL. EVERY TIME UNTIL THEY LEAVE.

Raven Dreamer

or else?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@RavenDreamer Prt much.

Tim Stone

@LessPopMoreFizz Hopefully will figure out what the difference is here momentarily...argh.

Hopefully before I shed any more reps, heh.

Tristan

1:09 AM

So, apparently if you don't romance Garrus or Tali in ME2, the two of them start dating in ME3. Good thing I got to her before he did!

Raven Dreamer

Welcome to two days previous!

agent86

@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm there, but one of the missions is "shut down a server" - is that the one that moves me on, or is that the one I should be doing first? the other is "escape pod" which I think I need to do regardless.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@agent86 There's two. You can do either one, or both.

@Tristan It's more fun when they pair up. They're made for each other.

Always calibrating things, eating dextro-amino food...

Tristan

@LessPopMoreFizz I disagree. Garrus and EDI, maybe. But Tali is min--Shepard's... Anyway, have you beaten it yet?

ClarityForce

can anyone tell anything about "Unity" engine? Is it powerful? Is it free to use?

LessPop_MoreFizz

1:12 AM

@Tristan I'm in the final few missions.

@ClarityForce gamedev.stackexchange is thataway VVV

Tristan

@LessPop_MoreFizz Who are your two most hated squad members?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Tristan In terms of using them, or in terms of personality?

Raven Dreamer

@ClarityForce It's powerful, it has a "free" version (with less features). And Gamedev.stackexchange has a lot of questions about it.

Tristan

@LessPop_MoreFizz Either.

Raven Dreamer

@Tristan James and Tali.

In terms of using.

Tristan

1:14 AM

Personality, probably, now that I think about it.

ClarityForce

ok thanks! i can see that its gaining the popularity, people mention that engine here and there

Tristan

I have good advice for the final mission, but it's too big a spoiler to tell anyone... =(

Ben Brocka

I'm impressed unity has gotten anywhere given that it requires a plugin

it seems to do some okay stuff

agent86

cue people saying "YOURE DOING IT WRONG" - sniping with an assault rifle as a vanguard :D

Tristan

@agent86 is it the M99 assault rifle?

Ben Brocka

1:17 AM

@agent86 doing multiple things wrong at once :P

Turians have the sweetest helmest

agent86

@Tristan chakram launcher

Tristan

@agent86 Oh. I found an assault rifle that's almost as powerful as the Widow sniper rifle. It's amazing. I killed a Harvester in four shots...

Raven Dreamer

@Tristan is it about who gets out of the normandy in the end?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Tristan Probably Liara and... somebody.

Ben Brocka

I'm immune to your facts and logic

Tristan

1:19 AM

@RavenDreamer No. I think that's always the same people. It's about who to take on the final push from the FOB.

Raven Dreamer

@Tristan That's not true at all. My playthrough directly refutes that.

Tristan

@RavenDreamer Really? Weird... Who got out of the Normandy for you?

Raven Dreamer

@Tristan Ashley (who I took) and James (who I did not).

Tristan

Huh.. Mine was Joker and EDI... I took Garrus and Tali.

Raven Dreamer

Oh, Joker got out too.

Joker and Ashley

And I was thinking "Damn, that's going to be the most bone-breaking rendition of adam and eve ever"

And then James hopped out

And then I got angry, 'cause Ash was MY GIRL.

Tristan

1:22 AM

Did you pick the green ending? <.<

Raven Dreamer

No.

Tristan

Now that I think about it... I seem to recall Tali stepping out with Joker and EDI, which would make my advice pointless.

Raven Dreamer

I wonder how many new users have joined us because of the ME3 promotion.

Tristan

@RavenDreamer Good question. By the way, if you don't want the TV you're going to win, I'll take it. =P

Raven Dreamer

@Tristan It's already being shipped! >:D

Tristan

1:27 AM

I really wanted a new Xbox, but being on my phone has me at quite a disadvantage... =( my Xbox is reaching the end of it's life.

Raven Dreamer

It sounds like you could use a computer.

Tristan

I have one. But no internets.

Raven Dreamer

You should fix that.

TylerShads

@Tristan its apparently determined on who you had the highest 'rep' with

Tristan

Working on it. Trying to find a job around here is like trying to find food in Ethiopia.

@TylerShads what is? Who gets out of the Normandy?

Raven Dreamer

1:29 AM

Yes.

TylerShads

@Tristan yeah

Tristan

Interesting...

TylerShads

what that means, i hav eno clue

Raven Dreamer

Who you talk to the most.

You know, you talk to them, they send you clingy emails asking to meet you.

Q: Is it possible to unlock the final Paragon/Renegade options of a New Game Plus if the imported Shephard was not perfectly Paragon/Renegade?

In my first playthrough of ME3, I played mostly Paragon but with some minor Renegade choices along the way, so I ended up with a maxed reputation bar with approximately a 90%-10% Paragon/Renegade split. This means I was unable to unlock the final Paragon (or Renegade) dialogue option near the end...

Raven Dreamer

@Sterno Where'd you hear this from?

TylerShads

@Sterno I haven't even been here that long and I'm not too surprised. You can get away with a lot in chat, and that's kinda the point. But when you're asking on the main site which romance options and specific details about them that are just meant to get a rise out of people, then it's deserved.

Raven Dreamer

It's true, btw.

Sterno

@RavenDreamer It's on his profile.

Raven Dreamer

1:35 AM

Oh, right.

Rep reduced down to 1, all that.

Chat-banned too.

Sterno

@RavenDreamer I went and looked because I'd wondered why he hadn't spoken up in chat about his post

RedriderX

@Sterno Wow, but not really shocked :/

Sterno

On a completely different subject, haven't seen @GraceNote in here lately.

Raven Dreamer

@Sterno Gracenote left last Thursday, and only got back today. He'll probably have a bigger presence tomorrow.

Sterno

Hiding from the ME3 spam!

RedriderX

1:39 AM

That's funny, I don't know where else to look for Gnome's profile, so I search 'gnome', and the first result is one of his questions.

Sterno

@RedriderX Users tab

RedriderX

@Sterno Oh, right. facepalm

Sterno

Time to go save Tuchanka!

Wipqozn

@RedriderX googling " <username> stack exchange" works too :P

Wait a minute... the Shadow Broker authorizes Barla Von to give me a reward, but I'm dating the Shadow Broker, and I'm tight on funds. She couldn't just buy me those Spectre weapons?

1:49 AM

@agent86 Don't worry, it's not for sexytimes. He just wants career advice.

agent86

@LessPop_MoreFizz still. he's permanently confined to the shuttlebay on account of being a total douche.

Mana

@agent86 Is he really that much of a jerk?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@agent86 He shows up in the crew cabin a few times if you have Javik.

@Mana I don't mind him. Some don't like him.

Tim Stone

@LessPop_MoreFizz Eyes jumped a line and I read the wrong ID. I'm cross-referencing the plot variables from my "numerous" save with the plot ID lists to see what sticks.

Mana

oh man, now I really want to beat Mass Effect 1.

Tim Stone

1:51 AM

Yes, yes you do.

Mana

I only just got to the part where I become a Spectre.

agent86

@Mana he's voiced by freddie prinze jr, and in one dialog with him he does continuous pullups, and in another he wants to box.

he nicknamed his commanding officer 'loco'

LessPop_MoreFizz

@agent86 You can beat the shit out of him in that dialog.

James feels like Biowares parody of a Final Fantasy protagonist to me.

Mana

@LessPop_MoreFizz oh my god now I REALLY want to play Mass Effect 3.

Although given I'm playing heroic Shepard that might fall a bit far from the character tree.

Tim Stone

Tali is also listed as being alive in the numerous option.

@Mana Are you playing renegade femshep? I hope you're playing renegade fem shep.

agent86

man, legion is such a bad mf'er. if it drank beer, I'd totally buy it a beer after this is over.

Wipqozn

@LessPop_MoreFizz I've heard renegade fem shep is really good.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Wipqozn The femshep voice actor just delivers the renegade lines so much more convincingly.

@agent86 You are a teetotaller?

Raven Dreamer

@LessPop_MoreFizz He also plays "I can top that" with Garrus.

agent86

if it drank beer.

I don't drink often, though.

Raven Dreamer

1:55 AM

@Mana Beat Mass Effect 1, and then just say you're done. It's a good stand alone game, and you probably could use the free time. ME2 and 3 are good games, but it's a pretty hefty commitment, and you might just be better off with one game.

Mana

@LessPop_MoreFizz Damn it, don't make me feel a need to do a second runthrough already, I'm already struggling to have the motivation to keep going with my first.

@RavenDreamer Are you telling me this because of ME3's ending?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Mana Are you doing maleshep then?

Raven Dreamer

@Mana No, I'm telling you that if you have to play ONLY ONE GAME, play the first. By far the best.

Mana

@LessPop_MoreFizz yeah, paragon maleshep.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Mana No beating the shit out of reporters for you.

Mana

1:57 AM

@RavenDreamer Really? So far I'm finding the combat in ME1 just really blah compared to ME2.

Raven Dreamer

@LessPop_MoreFizz Apparently, she can get up to 10 if you don't beat the hell out of her.

Mana

@LessPop_MoreFizz yeah I heard about this.

LessPop_MoreFizz

10 war resources?

Raven Dreamer

@Mana Oh. Well, yeah. Combat is totally different. But story-wise it's the most complete.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Yeah.

ME 2 suffers from "middle-game-in-a-trilogy" syndrome.

Mana

@RavenDreamer I thought it was pretty fun, I just couldn't keep playing after the first three hours because I felt no emotional attachment to anyone.

so I figured I should give the trilogy a proper go.

Raven Dreamer

1:59 AM

@Mana Becauase it suffers from "middle-game-in-a-trilogy" syndrome.

ME2 has the weakest story of the 3.

Ben Brocka

@LessPop_MoreFizz wait, you can beat her up?!

Beat her up good, even.

Q: I beat up that annoying reporter. Again. Is that going to be a problem?

Those who have played Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 will remember Khalisah al-Jilani. The first time I met her, I let her conduct a leading, malicious interview. She smeared my good name, and made a mockery of me on the extranet So the second time I ran into her, when she tried to corner me and ...
