(How did we not have a thread for this already?) I downloaded the free demo today and tore through it. Then two friends and I spent about 4 hours on the co-op online multiplayer. It's all pretty awesome. If I had one complaint it would be that they've weakened the sentinel class' Tech Armor, which I suppose is alright because it was ridiculously broken in ME2. Now it works more as a damage dampener rather than a layer of special armor that explodes when shattered (although you can still explode it, now at will). If I had two complaints, the second would be that Captain Anderson looks pretty silly when he runs. That complaint is really minor though, as it seems that running animation isn't universal and Shepard's looks alright. Also, as far as I know, Anderson is just a guest party member. Anyway, less than two weeks away. |

On the xbox? If so, you should pm me your gamertag. I'm already friends with Nate but we haven't played together yet. |

I tried the Drell vanguard but didn't really like it. I've been mostly using a Human sentinel and a Quarian engineer. I'm really liking the engineer's turrets. I boosted the power to give the turret a flamethrower and now I'll chuck one in a room and the turret will wreck havoc. They're also useful against the Guardians, who have those annoying shields. Throw a turret behind them and they'll either get torn apart by it or they'll turn around to deal with it and you can take them out yourself. The recharge time on the turret is also only a couple of seconds, which is amazing. |

My favorite combos so far are infiltrator plus shotgun becausr it is the only class i can justify using a shotgun with, asari adept plus sniper rifle because stasis is just too hilariously awesome, and krogan melee be ause of the sheer power. There are some rounds where i don't even have to fire my weapon with the krogan because of the blood rage and fortification purge melee bonus |

Ashley Williams isn't necessarily dead. She's dead in one of my files but Kaiden Alenko is dead in the other. You only had enough time to save one of them in ME1. And on that same planet you could have lost Wrex. I kept him alive in both of my files though. Good comic though. |

I have pre-ordered the game. I should probably try the multiplayer, but as of now, I'm more intrigued with the story aspect. Bioware hasn't let us down yet, I hope this continues. |

I despise alenko only because he's voiced by carth from KOTOR and i had so many misfire starts in that game that i had to listen to his damn backstory a hundred times. And when i tried to ignore it the game would be like "hey... You should talk to carth, seems like somethin's bothering him." and i'd give in because of the constant reminders and carth would say "shut the fuck up i don't wanna talk about it!" In short, alenko died a long time ago. As a side note, i heard the cover is reversible so you can put femshep on the front. I always play femshep so i think that's a neat little side thing. Unless that's a lie. |

My paragon file is she-Shep and my renegade file is he-Shep. I've tried to do things roughly opposite in the files, Kaiden's dead in one, Ashley in the other. Save the council in one, let them die in the other. Anderson on the council in one, Udina in the other. Etc. Here's a conversation a friend and I just had over Facebook:

Ahh Taris and Carth's backstory... Good times... AS of now, I basically just play through the games as how I would do it, maybe with a bit too much on paragon, but I try to play it if I were in Shepard's shoes. |

I hate that 1 and two force you to polarize yourself into either renegade or paragon. The first one so you can unlock dialogue options (that you also have to pay level up points for) and in number two to defuse intraparty bitching and keep everyone's loyalty. |

Some choices are middle ground, but there are really only 2 choices for a lot in ME2. |

I'm finishing my renegade ME2 file for the second time now, but if any of you see me online feel free to send me a party invite for the ME3 demo if you want to play multiplayer. I have Nate and Inca as friends on xbox. If any of the rest of you have accounts send me a pm and I'll give you my xbox live account name. |

I totally forgot this comes out soon. I enjoyed both 1 and 2, so logically I shall give ME3 a go. What's awesome for me is I have Kinect for Xbox, so I will be able to play ME3 using the Kinect controls. Should be interesting to see if it enriches the gameplay, or is just another stupid gimmick. |
