Mass Effect 3

[Gipetto0812]

Okay I'm officially doe now and I can say after all the "goodbyes" it's easily worth the $14! My only gripe is that they had. Yet another chance to make good on the Tali face reveal and they didn't (she's my romance). Other than that it felt great to say goodbye.....wish in a weird geeky way I could print out that group pic and carry it in my wallet! Also It made me laugh yet tear up over Mordins messages, as goofy as he was he was easily one of my all time favorite crew members.

You got Mordin messages??

Did you also get...

Spoiler

Thane messages? I only got Than messages but wondered why I didn't get anything from Mordin. Did it come up on your message terminal in the apartment like the others??

Mordin's message is on a datapad next to a bed bed.
Finished the citadel not too long ago.
What an amazing experience.
The dialogues were great, lots of funny exchanges, but never cheesy.
They were actually very funny.
Actually had a knot in my throat at the end.

Bioware saved the best, for last.
I have been a playing games for a long time.
Simply put, this has been one of, if not, the best experience I have had playing a game.

Very commendable bioware, bravo.

It's been fun. Man I hope they announce the next ME game sooner rather than later.

 

[darthviper107]

They've already announced the next ME game, no information other than that they're switching to the Frostbite 2 engine

After the party when you wake up there's a data pad on the floor next to the bed. It's just Mordin being his goofy self no real goodbye but it made me realize how much I missed him being a permenant crew member.
So nothing for Legion or the thief whose name I'm totally blanking on Right now?

Javiks comment about Glyph preparing to rebel had me dying!

I meant reveal or formally announce. Trust you me, I keep up to date with ME news.

 

[Gipetto0812]

Thanks for the pic Plasmid! Going to have to print that out and put it in a small frame to display with my slowly growing PAK ME3 figures. It's going to be my desktop for now though

Ahh it must be something for only when you "investigate the aftermath" b/c there's nothing there when I'm looking now. Will have to catch it when I go through with FemShep.

Nothing on Legion as far as I know. You "meet" with Kasumi at the Casino. There's a "suspicious device" on one of the sides of the quasar machines which triggers a cut seen

 

[Gipetto0812]

Hey guys just wanted to show ya'll my effort at fixing the PAK Shepard head. It's not perfect but at this scale I'm pretty happy with the results especially with this being the smallest scale I've worked on so far. Hope to do get Garrus and tweak his sculpt a bit as well.

Sanded down the hair
Extended and refined scar in hair
Refined hair line
Tweaked the philtrum
Added facial scars
Added texture
Repainted the head (except the eyes)

Who currently holds the license for ME figures? We got those DC Direct ones, but I'd love to see NECA get this license. It'd suit them perfectly, I think, and they'd do a much better job of them too.

 

[Gipetto0812]

Not sure, but NECA would only do better on the head sculpts. They won't have the articulation that the PAK ones do. The armor sculpts are also very nice on these that I don't think NECA could do any better. maybe match them but not better. And with characters with non human like legs (Turian, Quarian, Krogan, Geth) I see being pretty much statues w/o the articulation that PAK has

The DCD ones never made it out by DCD, but instead were repackaged in ME3 packaging by Big Fish I believe and had DLC content that I heard wasn't even worth it. The only cool thing about those was that Shep came with his helmet and they produced Thane, Mordin, and Grunt. I cant see NECA making that pretty much Shep's whole crew like DCD/Big Fish did unfortunately. Hell I think even PAK gave up on ME3 and just stuck and seemed to have put their efforts into the Arkham Series. Thane would've been a great figure for PAK as well as Mordin and Liara.

The citadel DLC was a heartbreaker seeing how we will never get new content with these chars again. A great ride.....the best

I think NECA are far more likely to make an extensive number of squad members, to be honest. PAK figures all look terrible, except for Garrus who is sort of almost okay.

ME fits in with NECA's VG figures as well as their sci fi figures of Alien and Predator and Prometheus etc. I think they'd be a perfect line for NECA to pick up. I also really want Wrex and EDI, as well as an updated Shepard, Thane and Garrus. DCD's Mordin, Legion and Grunt were all pretty good.

We'll have to agree to disagree then. I think all the PAK figures look great save the heads/paint on male Shep and Ashley. The rest look great especially Garrus and Tali. Male Shep looks great with some work and I'm sure Ashley would too if I got her.

I'm not against NECA making ME figures but I don't want it to be the reason PAK stopped making theirs. Hell I welcome more ME goodness. I just know that's NECA won't be able to match the articulation of the PAK figures which is something I enjoy, articulation. I can barely get AC Revelations Ezio in an action pose w/o him falling over. The hands don't hold the weapons too well either. AC Ezio is leaning against the back of the Detolf b/c he can't stand tha well either.

 

[DaSaru]

PAK ME3 are highly articulated and highly detailed..but the face ruins it a bit. That's a awesome repaint someone did there.
Also the lack of a base/stand which would really help with figure posing.
Hope they continue with the rest of the crew. I need Kaidan and Wrex to at least complete the ME1 group.

Yes, it is only there the morning after, before the apartment reverts to it's usual configuration.


Here's a question though, did Wrex have a 'hanging out' mission/scene?

I've done scenes with:

Ashley
Garrus
Joker
Grunt
Jack (x 2)
Cortez
Vega
Cortez & Vega
Liara
Miranda (x 2)
Kasumi
Zaeed
Javik
Samara
Jacob
Tali
EDI
Traynor (x 2)
Thane's son


But nothing for Wrex, which seemed odd. Did I miss something?

I was also just a little disappointed that Legion didn't even rate a mention, and Chikwas and Chambers were likewise absent (Chikwas got a throw away line explaining her absence, at least). But that's nitpicking over what was otherwise a very enjoyable piece of DLC.

 

[Scurvy26]

@Ex-Parrat

Yeah, Wrex has a scene at the Casino bar.

 

[Ex-Parrot]

Hmmm, figured I must have missed something. Wonder if it's like Joker and Kasumi's and doesn't show up on the map or in messages, but you have to just come across it instead.

Anyway, thanks. Thought that seems odd.

 

[Gipetto0812]

Damn I missed Mordin, Joker and Wrex!

Well at least I'll be able to do the scene with FemShep

Where's Joker??

Well done! A big improvement over the abhorrent stock figure..

Joker's at the bar in the casino.

I'm sure I missed some meets during my playthrough, for one I didn't get an individual Ashley invite to the apartment. I'm pretty sure it's because I didn't finish her arc during the main game, where you have to meet her at specific locations on the Citadel Presidium.
