Mass Effect 3
So much Mass Effect this weekend! It might have been the only thing I did. I don't know if I even breathed. I must, have, right? That seems necessary. Anyway, if you care, I am continuing my policy of hiding huge story beats, and I saw a couple, so...
Anyway, Shepard continues to tool around the galaxy, helping out folks, stopping Cerberus wherever he can. It becomes clear that someone in the Citadel wants to speak to me, and I had a bunch of quests to turn in there, so I go there and nobody answers our docking call. Turns out Cerberus has taken over the Citadel oh crap! So we get down there and make sure that characters with names don't get murdered. It was goddamn carnage, almost as bad as the last time the Citadel was attacked. We manage to save the council from an assassin, who has a name and everything, so of course I'm going to run into him later. Although it turns out asshole Udina was working for Cerberus, so I shot him. What a dick that guy was.
So now things are almost back to normal on the Citadel, and a whole mess of new fetch quests were waiting for me. Everyone was understandably bummed about the whole affair, but I'm trying to hold morale down. Also, I convinced Joker and EDI to hook up, that's cool, I guess.
Anyway, ended up doing a lot of pointless side missions, including one in which I run into Conrad Verner again. This goddamn guy is shouting about how great Cerberus is mere hours after Cerberus just tried to kill everyone on the Citadel, the idiot. Eventually he is talked down and tries to take a bullet for Shepard, only for some character you definitely don't remember from the first Mass Effect shows up and is all, "Yeah, I sabotaged the gun, want to get some coffee, Conrad?" Oh, and he also gives you a dissertation of dark energy that is worth 1 whole point toward the war effort. Mind, most named characters are worth at least 25, so I find his dumb dissertation being worth only a single point hilarious.
Kaiden joins back up with the crew (I'm a little sad that the majority of the squad characters are pretty much the same as the first game, considering how many awesome characters they introduced in Mass Effect 2, but I guess they couldn't guarantee any of them would survive, so it makes a small amount of sense), and you run into Jacob hanging out with some scientist lady, and then there is no avoiding it, you have to go back and poke at the Geth.
The Quarians have decided to be complete morons and have started a war with the Geth to retake their homeworld, because there weren't more important things going on, apparently. My Shepard is understandable upset about this, but decides to help because they managed to screw themselves pretty well by sending every single Quarian ship. Every one. So I stealth in and deactive this giant flagship, and I had forgotten how much I hate fighting geth. A lot, I hate fighting geth a lot. Because they have rocket launchers.
Anyway, I shut down this ship and apparently Legion is there, even though he should be dead. Turns out it's a computer program that they made for some reason. Anyway, the quarians start firing on this flagship WHILE I'M STILL IN IT, but we get out okay, and now I just want to get through these Quarian quests because these guys are dicks and I hate fighting Geth so much.
