+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted November 23, 2007 Author Subscriber² Share Posted November 23, 2007 I here that boxer. Glad to know you get renegade points for that, as I'm doing my second time through (on easy) to get ally achievements and renegade/medi-gel and so far since my charmed is maxxed out and my intimidation has 2 bars in it, i keep getting paragon, even when I don't try to. I being as mean and spiteful as I possible can.Boxer, were you a mix between renegade/paragon or just renegade? A mix. But I ended up over 75% Renegade and probably about 50%ish Paragon. I unlocked the achievement for being over 75% renegade, thats how I know! Intimidation needs to be the highest for renegade points. Charmed = Paragon Intimidation = Renegade Any option thats in red will give you renegade points, blue paragon. And then options that aren't in colour, go for answers at the bottom - They are usually stuff like "Get to point", "Die" or "Who cares?" :p .. stuff like that anyway.

Slane Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Paragon/Renegade bug. Put in spoiler tag since it involes a side-quest on Noveria. When you are on Noveria and get Lorik Qui'in data. You speak to Gianna and she asks you to convience Lorik to testify against Anoleis. Go to him and either charm(blue)/intimidate(red) him into testifying. After you do, you will leave dialogue and get +paragon(blue charm)/renegade(red intimidate). Talk to him again, ask him about Benezia, he'll do 2 lines of dialogue where your prompted with a bunch of dialogue options one of which being 'Another Question'. Select that and you will see the dialogue option of 'Testify Against Anoleis'. Just keep doing this to max out your Paragon/Renegade. It increase in +25, +25, +50, +75 and then cycle repeats in numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pheee Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 I am now going to sell half my game collection, as I do not see any point in having them, when Mass Effect will keep me going for a while, and gives me no time to play anything else. Slane and Audioboxer, how long did it take you to complete the game? I am slowing getting used to it, even tho it feels like a run and gun, I just simply die if I try to just shoot them all up. I chose Infiltrator, not sure if its my style yet, but having played 4 hours or so, I dont want to reply the begining again just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slane Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 I got to level 47 in one play, doing nearly all side-quests. And I think I was at 25-26 hours played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 I bit the bullet and bought the regular version and so far I am loving it. I think I am about four hours in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fullsleeves Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 I've put 12 hours into this game and i still have like 20 side quests that im working on. Reminds me a LOT of KOTOR! ;) and that's a good thing! The story line and history are so rich, they are enough to play the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrCheese Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 hmpf, I got the game friday and I'm about 5 hours in. So far I'm not really impressed at all. The shooting part is weak and I'm not sure the talking heads part of the game can stand alone, so far the story is pretty much just generic sci-fi. The squad AI is the most retarded ever, with your team doing whatever they feel like even when giving them commands. They tend to just run out and get shot or ignore your commands to find cover leaving you to clean up solo This happens so far 90% of the time. Also whoever designed the driving parts needs a slap, they are just down right terrible. The framerate and texture loading problems make the game look stupid to be honest. They should have eased up on the texture compression and stuck the game on two disks if that would have stopped you waiting 10/20 seconds for textures to load when you enter a new area. I'll give the game more time. I'm aware its long deep RPG and they usually take a while to get into. Maybe this just isn't my type of game.

Yusuf M. Veteran Posted November 25, 2007 Veteran Share Posted November 25, 2007 The game is amazing. It exceeded my expectations in all aspects of what a good game should be except for the frame rate. It's solid but it does tend to drop when the action gets messy. Other than that it's a must get game. Perhaps even game of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DELTETHISACCOUNT Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I've been playing for only 2 hours. Not really blown away ATM, but hopefully things will become interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pajter Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I'm only three hours into the game and I'm already considering this one of the best I've ever played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo003 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Is it just my copy or this game has the same problem as Halo 2 on original Xbox. The texture appears really late, there's loading time random especially on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rookas Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I felt the same way as you, DrCheese. I felt that the bad drastically outweighed the good. I'm about 12 hours in now and I'm hooked. The combat gets better, it actually gets pretty fun. I went from extremely disappointed to very impressed in just a few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookie Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Have to admit at first I didn't like the combat purely because it was badly explained. Just completed it and got the good ending I believe. Twas great fun. Even got the tactician achievement! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samboini Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Still loving it btw ... Have had to wean myself off it temporarily as i've got a job interview on Weds that I need to prepare for, d'oh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gigapixels Veteran Posted November 26, 2007 Veteran Share Posted November 26, 2007 I love it so far. I haven't played it too much as Assassin's Creed keeps calling me whenever I turn on my 360, but once I finish it I will be on Mass Effect non-stop.

Remysaus Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I'm totally loving Mass Effect. been playing for 8 to 9 hours i think and the big decisions you have to make are really cool and do affect the rest of the game, the plotline and the way it developes is really one of the best i've ever seen in games (and most movies for that matter) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+.Vamp Subscriber² Posted November 26, 2007 Subscriber² Share Posted November 26, 2007 The game arrived on saturday when i was at work. Started it when i got in and played from about 7pm til 12:30am, when I had to sleep because I couldn't keep my eyes open anymore. Set my alarm for 8:30am Sunday, and played from 9am - 11pm non stop :) (apart from food and excretion) LOVE this game, cannot stress that enough. Graphics are awesome, the worlds are just... out of this world :p and the story is so so so in depth and great! Love the fact that it has a whole history to learn and is very politically charged.

Ianwoollam Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Just finally completed this game, superb is all I can say! The texture loading is really annoying but tbh going through I just didn't really notice it anymore. For anyone who completed it - What ending did everyone else get? I got the good ending I think, Saved the Council and recommended Anderson, Udina ****ed me off too much to recommend him :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
