Lantzen Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 Miltiades said: Are the Charm and Intimidate talents based on how much a Paragon or Renegade you are, or isn't it linked? I'm no playing a Paragon with high Charm, but if I want to play a Renegade with high charm, is that possible? I just ask because of the dialog options in the Romance plots and if having Intimidate as talent won't kill the romance? I've always been a light side guy in the KotOR's and other RPG's, but here, I can't wait to start a Renegade character. Save the world in a non-orthodox way, that's how I like it. There ain't any charm/Intimidate options in the romance It's best if you just keep her in the party whole the time. Think you need to complete 75% of the game with one of your allys, and that includes side quests. So if you do all side quest you can get the achivement long before you finish the game. But to be sure, keep her on the main quest planets since they count much towards the % completion of the game And what a bounch of cheaters the PC users are, already a mod that give you all the achivements ^^ Personaly i just have two left on the xbox version, but im to lazzy to get them xD
Char Ell Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 No word that I know of. I'm wondering if they'll include the patch as part of Bring Down the Sky. Chris Priestly did say BioWare is working out some technical issues with BDtS.
Det. Bart Lasiter Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 I hope they fix the shadows. I hate how the facial shadows look, and the only workaround for it just makes the engine render fewer shadows.

Miltiades Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 Finished it! Took me about 40 hours, having done most quests. No spoilers, but decent ending to a good story. On to my second playthrough! Let's hope we have Bring Down the Sky soon.
Char Ell Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 Now that you've finished the game the question enquiring minds want an answer to is... Did you ever get over your hatred of the default Shepherd's face?
Emperor Devon Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 Finally got the blasted thing installed. After only six or so hours of trouble. Looks pretty fun so far, though I've not really played enough to make a solid judgment. Though I am rather irked telling various NPCs it's worth killing a thousand people to save a million or that operating outside the law is okay hasn't netted me many Renegade points (while being polite to Ashely Williams landed me with several Paragon ones). Thought I'd go Renegade, as playing a villain who wants to save the galaxy is too tempting to pass up after the treatment evil chars have gotten in previous games. I've also named my character Lucifer Shepard... it's ridiculous, but it matches his appearance oh so well. <_< Is it worth putting points into Charm if you're going Renegade, btw? I've got Intimidate maxed out, but there could always be some instances where that's not an option. (Pavlos said 'generally not linked' not 'never linked'. >_>)
mur'phon Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 I have yet to see an instance where you can't use both, so unless an expansion/mod changes that, there is no point.

Did you ever get over your hatred of the default Shepherd's face? Not really, no. I had this one moment, almost at the end, where I thought he looked cool, but the scene afterwards made me roll my eyes in disgust. Definitely going for a custom appearance this time.

(Pavlos said 'generally not linked' not 'never linked'. >_>) No, if you have an option to use Charm or Intimidate, you will have the option to use both. Some conversations will require a higher charm or intimidate to use that dialog option, though. If you maxed out Intimidate, then you're good. (Or not so good, whatever.) Rogue Nine said: My Shepard has scars. Chicks dig scars. Why am I suddenly reminded of Keanu Reeves? Sad to say, Keanu would have done a better job voice acting Shepard than the guy they got. I tried to play a Male Shepard, but the voice acting made it impossible for me to get very far. I guess it doesn't help that Female Shepard is voiced by Jennifer Hale. She just makes the Male Shepard seem even that much worse because Jennifer Hale is awesome.
Det. Bart Lasiter Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 I wish she did her Bastila voice though :/ edit: thank god someone has found a way to add new textures to mass effect. in the form of a nude mod. luckily, the modder wasn't xenophobic in the least and made sure to free liara of her shackles aka clothes.
Jason Skywalker Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 Lol, so they've done it already? Still haven't gotten it but my PC can't handle the specs anyway so it's no biggie.
Char Ell Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 Sounds like BioWare's plan is to include the patch with the BDtS add-on From BioWare technical producer Derek French Quote We are working on both the update and the BDtS content. The current plan is to include the update in with the BDtS installer, as well as have the update available on its own. None of this is final as we are still working on the final content and file sizes
RC-1162 Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 I got this game a few days back and just installed it. However before i start playing, can anyone tell me if the devs have removed (or plan to) the 3-activation limit?
Ztalker Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 Just bought it as well. I give it 9/10 in every possible thing, but there's one thing bothering me: My character only uses pistols and shotguns. Why the hell is he required to wear a sniper rifle and a machine gun as well? It would be nice if those were unequipable...it looks blatantly ugly this way
Rogue Nine Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 Yes, that annoyed me as well, so I just took to wearing rifles that matched the color scheme of whatever armor I was wearing at the time. xD

I'm sure it will happen at some point down the road but I'm pretty sure it won't happen until MEPC has been out for at least a year. Ztalker said: My character only uses pistols and shotguns.

Worst part is that you're probably right too I heared rumours they were considering Melee weapons and dual wielding pistols for the sequal. Unless you want to drag a Kyle Katarnish load of weapons with you (inrealistic) they'll have to fix this. But still. The coolness of my character...several scars, the stubble, the shotgun, the pistol...he was supposed to be somekind of Space cowboy/Clint Eastwood. Not a frickin tank! @Rogue Nine: That's probably the best solution...but I still find it sucky...I sometimes accidentally grab for a machinegun...
Jason Skywalker Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 Yay, i got it! Won't install now though, not much space.
Tysyacha Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 Right now, I'm stuck in an even worse place than before--the game is unplayable! Anybody else besides me getting "general protection fault" errors?!?
Char Ell Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 Yah. I started getting them right at the beginning of Noveria, after 30+ hours of gameplay. I have an NVIDIA graphics card and was using Forceware 169.21 drivers at the time. I installed the 175.19 drivers and that took care of the problem, though I did end up getting a couple of GPF's after that. I could get a GPF to generate just by reading a specific codex entry, though I forgot what entry that was. Anyway, I thought it rather strange that MEPC started hitting GPF's after playing so long.
Mr Roboto Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 I'm in the same boat as Char Ell. I was fine until about 10 hours in. Tried all sorts of different drivers (official, beta, beta with modded inf files) and I still get them. My fix was to play the God of War series until a patch is available.
