Me during my first playthrough, as an Infiltrator Shep: heavy reliance on Tactical Cloak and literally running away from fights/leaving my companions to die; 0/10 do not recommend Thresher Maw vs Sniper Rifle; never took my favorite companions, including LI on missions because their abilities were redundant.
Me, now, Soldier Shep: has never heard of "cover" and is can/will Fistfight a Brute; bring the squishy companions, I'm just going to lob grenades everywhere anyway! I see why this is the recommended first playthrough build.
#and before anyone asks: no I don't take constructive criticism#and I will not play Biotic Shep of any kind for the same reason I generally don't play mages in DA#aint nobody got time for that#Shye plays Mass Effect#Mass Effect#I am the Alliance Navy's hypercompetent Blunt Instrument#file under: reasons I stress people out if they watch me play#Cerberus probably used something Krogan in the revivification#I say as if this behavior hasn't been from the start#apparently I never posted this and saved it to my drafts instead#how do I keep doing that?

Starting a new Mass Effect playthrough: "Is it time to finally learn to use biotics?"
Infiltrator: sniper rifles and tactical cloak
"You make a compelling point."
#personal#Shye plays Mass Effect#again#Mass Effect#I'm just sitting in character creation now. I don't know which to choose

Every time one of the Eden Prime survivors says about the "awful noise [the 'mothership'] makes" and how it was like nothing else they've ever heard and bores inside your head, I respond out loud to my computer "Was it like 'BWAAAAAAH!'?"
Helios is not amused by my Reaper impression.
#Shye plays Mass Effect#Eden Prime#semi-liveblogging#Mass Effect#I think I'm hilarious even if the cat doesn't agree#I couldn't pick a class last night so I gave up and played something else. so I played just a little tonight instead

Lowkey sad that there are several in the background/parked at the Forward Base but the final Earth run doesn't have the option for "Give me two good men and a Mako and the Reapers will be sorted by lunch."
#I love that stupid tank car#and I think it can take whatever the Reapers throw at us while we charge the beam#Ilos 2.0 baby#M35 Mako#Mass Effect Legendary Edition#Shye plays Mass Effect#semi liveblogging#'*honk honk* Liara! Garrus! Roadtrip time!' 'By the Goddess...' 'Oh not again.'

Me: I am not going to fall for Thane again. We are not exclusively Thane-mancers in this house.
Thane: appears
Me:
#personal#Shye plays Mass Effect#Thane Krios#I'm sorry everyone else#I must resist#but his voice...#and his tragic romance#I don't know if I'm that strong

ME3 Loading Tip: "Weapons are more accurate when fired from cover."
See, that feels like a lie because your VI processes have identified that I Don't Do That while playing Soldier Shep because I have health and shields for days.
#sounds fake but okay#Mass Effect#Mass Effect Legendary Edition#Shye plays Mass Effect#semi-liveblogging#even if that /is/ true why did you wait until Cronos station to tell me that? clearly it's not that useful

"Someone else might have gotten it wrong."
[Quietly hums Scientist Salarian, but never finishes the title line...]
😭 Never fails to break me like my emotions are a toothpick.
RIP Mordin, enjoy your seashells.
#Shye plays Mass Effect#ME3#Mass Effect 3#Mordin Solus#I think there's a lot of problems with the trilogy#but the fact that there isn't an 'everyone survives the war and lives happily ever after' ending is one of the best things#even if it HURTS me

Ah the Reaper IFF. My least favorite ME 2 mission. (Including the Suicide Run).

Found a bug they didn't fix in Legendary Edition. Joker is still unromanceable? Seems like a major gameplay issue?

Mass Effect side quests aka "What are physics and can I break them?"
#behold as I drive the Mako up 3/5 a sheer mountain and then get stuck in a tiny divet#Shye plays Mass Effect#(I do the same thing in the Hinterlands in Inquisition. sometimes on horseback)#semi-liveblogging#I am having a great deal of fun dicking around on various UNCs instead of going to Noveria#why did I ever hate the Mako?#(because for a first video game experience the mechanics are Shit)

Wait! You can repair the Mako on the move now?!
Well fuck, I want a list of Thresher Maw planets, I'll take em all out.
#Shye plays Mass Effect#Mass Effect: Legendary Edition#semi-liveblogging#Mako#game mechanics#that was my number 1 cause of death by a long shot#so vengeance will be mine!!

I wonder if the satisfaction of hanging up on the Council every time the Turian Councilor says anything vaguely insulting (so says anything) ever loses its glow.
#Shye plays Mass Effect#semi-liveblogging#seriously fuck that guy#I'm also going to have to punch the reporter which is satisfying but I was gonna see what happens if you actually talk to her#but I forgot sparing the Feros colonists gives you massive Paragon points and this is supposed to be a mostly Renegade Shep#so time to be a dick

I want to do something really different this playthrough...what happens if I don't recruit Liara as the first Main Mission?
#Shye plays Mass Effect#I genuinely don't know if it will make a difference#although she has a lot of unique mission dialogue so I'll be surprised if it doesn't#I've always gone to get her quick. because I like having a full team and also suck at biotics so I need the NPCs for it#we'll see how this goes

Me: “Yes yes, I know how to decrypt a lock. This is not my first rodeo.” skip instructions.
“Oh wait, shit, PC has a different minigame than console?! Fuck, fuck, fuck. What am I supposed to doooo?”
Also, I don’t like the PC decryption puzzle. Can I have my Simon Says back? Otherwise this playthrough is going to use a lot more Omni-Gel than usual.
#Shye plays Mass Effect#hacking and decrypting#this weird get your cursor through the spin-y wheels thing is hard even for easy level skill use...
