A: Does installing Mass Effect 3 on the Xbox 360 Hard Drive make the elevators faster?

I did some experimentation this evening before and after installing the game to the hard drive: Loading to title: unchanged. Both times it took about 54 seconds to get to the main menu. Loading a save from the main menu: 8 seconds (25%) faster when installed. Reloading the same save: 2 seconds...

A: Does the Imported Level Increase the Difficulty?

Based on how it worked in Mass Effect 2 and personal experience in ME3, enemies scale to levels, regardless of how the levels were acquired. As such, the answer to your question is yes and no. Compared to an unimported character at the same place in the campaign, it will be more difficult, but ...

Interestingly, it seems that the game sometimes likes to use them to do things other than paragon/renegade stuff. i.e. the boxing match with James.

murgatroid99

@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm pretty sure they went along with Paragon/Renegade dialogue

LessPop_MoreFizz

In ME2, you knew whenever you used an interrupt, you were going to do something heroic, or something totally badass and that it would result in a lot of paragon renegade points.

@murgatroid99 Just played through it several times actually. Dialog is largely unchanged. More to the point, the interaction results in no paragon/renegade points.

Incinerate and Overload are both learnable by Engineer.

@LessPop_MoreFizz hmm, I hadn't noticed. I wonder if I can make the console rank. I'm going slow on the link shares, although I did dump a ton of them on a couple of forums where I have some pull today.

@LessPopMoreFizz Hey! Zip it with the spoilers!

I just spent 30 minutes trying to get Origin to re-create a Mass Effect 3 shortcut for me. I know it did it automatically at one point for me pre-release when I was having trouble getting the release date check to run. But I think it actually required re-installing Origin :P
