Screw it. Just got the Trilogy on Origin

Damn it. I need that third one.

No, you really don't.  Just imagine it all goes well.

Side Update: A Fan, a Consort and The Keepers.

Here is my first side update, which will be a quick recap of side missions and character developments. I won't be going into as much detail here as I will main missions.

-While on the Citadel, I met a salarian named Chorban acting quite odd when I saw him messing with a Keeper. When asked about it he explained he wished to learn more about the Keepers, which little knowledge is known of what they do. He asked if I would want to assist. Initially I turned him down, i'll return to this later.

-Also while I was on the Citadel, I kept hearing about this figure called "The Asari Consort". Asking around I learned her location and headed over there. I was honestly expecting it to be some sort of Brothel, however I learned that some people had issues with The Consort, so I wanted to investigate. I was greeted by something...somewhat expected. A Consort Acolyte greeted me and explained I had to make an appointment to meet with the Consort...once giving her my name she said it would take 3 months. I was ready to say fuck off and leave but then the Acolyte told me that the Consort has "taken an interest in me" and has requested to speak. How surprising.
After going into her chambers she introduces herself as Sha'ira....and apparently instead of waiting a month she would be "very pleased" if I help her out with a Turian she is having problems with. A guy by the name of General Septimus. Which I had to go through loading hell to get to Chora's Den...or just used the fast travel, to get to him. After talking to him apparently Septimus wanted Sha'ira so badly that when she denied him he started spreading lies about her. He went so far that he spilled diplomatic secrets from an Elcor political figure who dealt with Sha'ira to smudge her name. However after some convincing on how he is a General and shouldn't be this fucking petty he straightened out and gave the datapad holding the Elcor's secrets. I went ahead and gave back the secrets to the Elcor and explained the whole thing. That got me some bonus points from the Elcor ambassador too. Then after headed back to Sha'ira. Who was thankful and gave me some words of assurance as her "service"....was hoping for more tbh. But I thanked her and left.

-After the whole Consort deal, I got contacted by Lieutenant Girard from the Normandy about a girl in the Docking Bay. Apparently she came from the same Colony I did that was raided. However she didn't escape, she was enslaved for 13 years and now ended up there. So now I rushed over to the docking bay.
Girard, whowasmostdefinitelyfeelingsomethingforthegirl, explained the situation and gave me a sedative to put her to sleep so that they can get her to somewhere safe. However...she had a gun and is also willing to kill herself. So the next conversation was me trying to convince the girl to put the weapon down and let me come close. Eventually after talking about some of the stuff that happened she calmed to the point where she was willing to take the sedative herself. That was an extremely odd experience to be honest, really puts things in perspective as well. Shepard may have survived the raid unscathed, but not everyone did.

-Once I helped the girl I headed over to C-Sec Academy to talk to the requisitions officer there, however I was first confronted by a certain reporter. Khalisah Al-Jilani, who was hoping for an interview. From everything I learned so far I had to be careful what I did, but being too brash could affect things poorly. So I warned her I couldn't answer everything and accepted an interview. Right off the BAT I hated this bitch, I was so close to wanting to end it there and punch her but I had a reputation to keep. So I did my best to keep formal and if I couldn't answer a question I didn't. The bitch ended it after and left, fuck her. At least I got a message from Alliance Fifth Fleet saying I did a good job.

-Something else that happened at C-Sec connects with the first thing that happened. A Volus by the name of Jahleed was begging for a C-Sec officer to help him. We intervene and talk to him and he explains that a friend of his, a Salarian named Chorban, is plotting to kill him. Even following him home. Deciding to help him he explains that Chorban asked to meet Jahleed at the lower markets of the Wards. So I headed over there. While I was there I met someone who was really REALLY excited to meet me, Conrad Verner. Asking for an Autograph and exclaiming how if I ever head back to Earth he'd buy me a beer. Wonder what he is about.
After that I got to the Lower Markets and found Chorban, who stopped me from a little bit away at gunpoint. Asking for the Data. After telling him I didn't have any data he brought his goons out to help him fight. And the battle lasted a whole of 5 seconds before he gave up, asking for mercy. Hearing him out(at gunpoint) he explained that Jahleed told him I would be coming, and thought that Jahleed was gonna betray him. I explained that Jahleed thought that as well and Chorban told me the same thing he did before, about he was scanning the Keepers, however the date he gained from the scans wasn't usable until Jahleed, Chorban's partner, analysed it. I decided to help the scannings this time and was willing to talk to Jahleed to fix the issue. After dealing with Jahleed both of them were willing to talk again and the issue was dealt with.


Other than that, all I need to do now is head to Noveria. Better bring some Winter Coats.

By the way, since i'm starting to discuss story elements, should I tag this as spoilers or is it old enough to not have to worry?

Spoiler

I just found out that you could have sex with the Consort.....missed it.

All she did was give my Shepard a hug!

Tali went from one of the best characters with potential to holy crap pls no

Glitches galore though. Finally getting the habit of quicksaving.

Looks like you missed out on Eletania

I guess it makes sense since I played ME1 last sadly. It was my favorite Mass Effect to play through though. The gameplay is meh but I got used to it.

Holy shit so much happened on Noveria...

This'll take awhile.

worst girl from a race of degenerate space jihadists who keep starting shit with the Gethbros
Quarian genocide best day of my life

I hope you choke to death on Quarian cock you stupid faggot nigger

>Rescue some poor Asari girl who's been trapped in a cell or whatever for God knows how long>"Hurr want me to ask about her sex life HURR" -Ashley
Atomic bombing is not even close to the deserved suffering

If only you can romance Matriarch Benezia.

It's because of her personality.

Garrus is a pretty awesome character period. Probably one of the best sidekicks in any videogame

Playing this again years later, I changed my opinion on 2 things

1. Udina isn't as bad as I thought in the past. Sure he can be a little hard, but he has to deal with a lot of shit. He's still got humanities best interest out there and fights hard for you in the beginning of the game, raising his voice at the Council and what not.

until 3.

Sssh
