RIPPA Posted August 4, 2021 Author Share Posted August 4, 2021 I am deeply amused that Diana Allers doesn't get invited I am fucking pissed that Dr Chakwas doesn't get invited* * - an argument could be made that inviting Alliance crew wasn't allowed since that would explain Adams, Gabe and Ken not being there too. However, Joker being invited blows that out of the water. I am guessing the other answer is "someone has to stay with the ship" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Cortez is there too. I'm not sure why it doesn't do all the crew, since pretty much everyone is optional. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 The beauty of ME3 is that the devs actually whiteboarded what the Citadel party would look like in the event that Shepard was the only survivor of the Suicide Mission in ME2 and everyone else was either killed or tapped out during ME3.

odessasteps Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Id figure Cortez is there for diversity reasons. Can they figure out a way to include <Mordin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No because in the "Mordin lives" scenario - Mordin has to go into hiding so the Krogan don't find out they were duped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raziel Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Thinking more about it, alot of the characters there outside of the squaddies are potential romantic interests for Shep, so perhaps it was for the "who wakes up in bed with Shep" finish.

RIPPA Posted August 4, 2021 Author Share Posted August 4, 2021 BTW - with all the party talk, I was reading the ME wiki and had totally forgotten that Mess Sergeant Gardner is one of the few things from ME2 that you never learn about in ME3 Granted the only one I ever remember is Gianna Parasini and that was do to them scraping the Dark Energy plot line (Still weird how they didn't at least toss in an email from her or something) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I did the party without Miranda, so that's another reason to do a replay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I'd have like to have seen Gianna show up at the Citadel party. Even better, I'd have like for her to have been one of the "So, you don't have a romance option" hook ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 SQL Server shit the bed and it took longer than I expected to rebuild it. I was pretty burned out by the time I got home. I don't see myself gaming that much tonight if at all. Citadel still looms on my horizon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Cerberus calls everybody to report back in (As Donnelly mentions), they huskify them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I always wondered what happened to Hadley and the bridge crew, the two crewmembers in the Crews Quarters (the woman and the dude with family in New Canton), and Gardner. I kinda hoped that they would've just been placed under house arrest like Joker or pardoned and reassigned, but I can see how some might've returned to Cerberus and been converted.

Craig H Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I think I'm missing something here. I just finished my last loyalty mission for Thane, which was neat because no combat was involved. So everyone is loyal except for Tali. However, on my roster screen, one member is missing. It's whoever would be next to Zaeed. I can't figure out who I would have missed unless Liara is added to my crew, but she has already turned that down twice. Another question, before I start the mission to fight the Collectors, should I first go through and try to 100% each system? I don't want to miss anything and I don't know if this game gives you a point of no return message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted August 5, 2021 Author Share Posted August 5, 2021 There is one more squad mate that appears late in the game so you aren't "missing" anyone. (It happens during a main story mission so you can't miss them) You only need to keep scanning if you need resources for upgrades you want prior to the end game. Otherwise you can always scan planets after the end game. The game STRONGLY warns you about certain things but I will just say once you enter the Omega 4 relay, you will have to do everything till the end of the main story before being able to do anything else again.

RIPPA Posted August 5, 2021 Author Share Posted August 5, 2021 Remember all the DLC came out post end game originally If you wait till after the end game - the Shadow Broker's dialogue is actually tweaked to acknowledge you have already been through the Omega 4 relay And it is why Arrival makes far more sense if you do it POST end game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Starting Citadel. The cutscene of the shuttle trip to Ryusei just makes me want that Garrus / C-Sec game set in the Wards before Eden Prime. They need to add the Ryusei incidental music to my fucking stereo playlist. Sweet, sweet flash suppresed pistol. I have missed you so much.

J.T. Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Finished Part One and am back at the crib with the entire crew. I'll play more later on. Got my daughter this weekend and we're going to do some bonding stuff because she'll be off to start college in a couple of weeks and I have a shit ton of yard work to do at my mom's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 (edited) Lucked out and got to telework today. Got in some gaming before logging on to our Teams channel for a couple of meetings and a planning conference. Defeated my clone. Had EDI on my squad. Lost my shit when the CAT6 deactivated EDI while we were en route for the rescue. "I'M OKAY~!" I'll grind through all of the activities and get to the party later on. Edited August 6, 2021 by J.T.

Nah. I'm coughing up 40 hrs of a time off award to get my mom moved into her new room and I am back on swing shift by next Sunday. I'll be on that exercise for two weeks and then I'll get four days grace before I'm at it again. I won't get a break until around Thanksgiving. Labor Day holiday is shot because I'm going up to JMU for Phase II of moving my kid into her dorm room. Edited August 6, 2021 by J.T. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 I'm waiting to see what we do for Labor Day. I'm going on vacation (hopefully) the week before so I wouldn't mind getting that Sunday and Monday off as decompression days. This popped up in my feed.
