Yeah, you can respec for free the first time and after that it's 5000 bucks. You can do so in the med bay.

This only seems to happen if you choose the same class that you were in ME2. If you choose a different class, you can assign points wherever you want. It should have been a free choice whichever class you chose tbh.Originally Posted by Spider Jerusalem
I disagree. I would have found it very tedious to reallocate 35 levels-worth of points. For this reason I usually auto-assign points for new team members, and then refine their skills manually as I go along.

What's up with Anderson's animations? It looks like his feet are just flopping around. :/
And what happened to dialogue options? I can only choose 2 and they are both "red".
Yeah, EA/Bioware's animators deserve a slap in the mouth for Anderson terrible running animation.
I'm failing to writing a blog, specifically about playing games the wrong way

I unlocked mine last night. It's brilliant. However, the Turian leader is called...THE PRIMARCH.
I mean, really.
Only other real annoyance is that I had to play the intro about four times to get my Shepard looking reasonable. My imported Shepard for some reason looked nothing like she did in Mass Effect 2, and seemingly had an entirely concave face. Trouble is, you can't really tell until you see them in the game proper.
Other than that, it's the best yet.
I imported my Shepard (who was from Mass Effect and thus came across a bit wonky), and used this random Gillian Anderson face with some tweaks. Best Shepard ever!
I guess she believes?
It works fine. There are a couple of issues related to actually importing the PCSave, see this thread for a solution.

Incidentally, what's with Microsoft's treatment of Xbox save data? You can't copy it, you can only cut and paste it, so if something goes wrong, like in JG Man's case, you're screwed.
Actually most xbox games can be copied. I've no idea why certain ones can't. I assume that's at the discretion of the publisher.

Meh, just meh. Anyone else completed it yet? Remember how disappointing the endings of Deus Ex 3 were? Yeah. Meh. Bioware managed a monumental ass-pull on this one. I am disappoint. My only other real gripe is how poorly characterised Cerberus are compared to ME2. I mean, from the off they're behaving like pantomime villains (ie. being evil because they're the bad guys).
Aside from that, great game. The gameplay is another step up from ME2 and the scripting and such are as good as ever. I'm just so disappointed that the game ended leaving such a bad taste in my mouth.

i haven't finished it (obv.) but i agree on the cerebus bit. it's like they wrote the third one after the first one, and never thought that they'd put shep on the cerebus side of things. after spending an entire game inside the organization, it seems lazy/dishonest to have them go back to the generic scourge of the universe role.
Agreed. It didn't even seem like it was supposed to be a "twist" (what were you expecting them to do, you fools!)
It's one of the most bizarre reversals in a game sequel since Hobbes "decides" to rejoin the Kilrathi in WC3.

I thought it would be relatively simple. That was my mistake. I put in a USB on my 360, formatted enough space so that it could hold all the saves, the attempted to copy/paste all the character saves from ME1 and 2 onto the USB. Some couldn't be copied and could only be moved, for whatever reason. I accepted this, completed it and then finished. I then tried putting my USB on my computer.
There are files in a hidden 'Xbox360' folder that total 1.5gb. I'm not sure how much of that is the formatted necessities. Whatever, there are only three files, one at 1gb, one at 500mb and one at 264kb. The files are simply titled "Data0000", with the other two files with 1 and 2 at the end, respectively. Unfortunately, the file formats are saved simply as 'file'. I tried using the importer to see if it could recognise them, but nothing.
Now, I'm not saying that my 360 saves are gone; it's very possible they still exist and because I can't read them doesn't mean they're dead, but the next opportunity I'll have to get back to my 360 is in a few weeks.
Long story short, for whatever reason, the formats have blurred and I have none of my 360sav files. I basically can't even go as far as importing because there is nothing to import.
Well, in the narrative it worked. In the gameplay, you kinda need more antagonists than just zombies (or else it'd be a very dull game combat-wise), but it didn't feel like an asspull. Spoilers.
I mean, it wasn't hard to predict that the Illusive Man would play Icarus and end up being a Reaper tool. It's painfully clear that he hasn't had one good idea in three games - so he's consistent in that - and if you ask Chakwas or Garrus or Tali in ME3 about your exploits in ME2, they all say the same thing: "Cerberus didn't use us; we used them."
Sorry if this is a silly question: did you use xplorer360 (I think that's what I used) and double click the individual save file to get the .xboxsave file?

That's kind of it though, I didn't get anything like that. I just got three, wildly different 'file' files and can't do anything with them. My recommendation would be to have access to the internet while you're doing this operation and follow strict instructions!
Considering that I really can't remember any moments that were laugh out loud funny for me in the first 2 Mass Effect games (save for maybe bringing Legion along with me on Tali's loyalty quest), that ME3 made me crack up twice is quite the feat. I wasn't a huge fan of the self-referential humour of ME2, but the discussion between Vega and Cortez over the Mako was the hardest I've laughed in a ME game, and there's an utterly fantastic Hunt For Red October (film version) reference come the Quarian chapter of the game.
I hope I'm not the only one here who actually enjoys James' company. Sure, he's a stereotypical jarhead, but the character role is effective and Freddie Prinze Jr has a decent voice to boot (he's a damned sight more interesting than Jacob, who hasn't improved since ME2, that much is certain).
