[Pale Rider]

Did you reach Virmire yet?

 

[Caldwin]

Not yet. I did Noveria last night. I could jump straight to Virmire, but I still have a few side quests to do before that.

 

[Pale Rider]

Next time I do it, I'm wasting Saren's asari lackey.

 

[Caldwin]

Yeah, I usually don't because it's a renegade move. But last time I dropped her and I may do it from now on since this is one paragon action that actually loses war assets by the end of it all.

 

[Pale Rider]

Talking Kelly into changing her identity is also a renegade move for some reason, but I do that too.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

Changing her identity without official paperwork that could be traced is technically illegal, after all. Even putting in a Specter request for it could probably be traced.

 

[Caldwin]

Just goes to show, you shouldn't follow either path blindly.

 

[Caldwin]

Well, after going through the list of sidequests that I googled, it seems I have 100% completed the first ME before. There was nothing on that list that was new. So...yeah, I have 100% completed Mass Effect...minus some trophies that are firmly in "eff that" territory.

Time for Virmire!

 

[Pale Rider]

What about all the collectables?

 

[Caldwin]

Welp! That's it for ME1. I'll probably start ME2 tomorrow. It would be nice if they released an update that allowed for haptic feedback on the PS5. As it is, I'm not getting any kind of rumble at all. Still that does nothing to deaden the addiction.

Edit: Ninja'd

Collectables?

Assignments

Assignments are the side missions of Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2. These have little to no bearing to the overarching narrative, but completing them may further understanding of the series' underlying workings. There is a large variety of assignments to complete; this page is a list of them...

[Caldwin]

Oh, you mean the missions I specifically labeled as "screw this mission?" Yeah, no, I didn't do those. The only ones that matter are the Matriarch Writings.

 

[Pale Rider]

How is the frame rate on the PS5?

 

[Caldwin]

I'm not one to notice things like frame rates unless it drops significantly. It looks pretty solid to me. Google says 60fps.

 

[Pale Rider]

Did you find it a bit disorienting at first?

 

[Caldwin]

Didn't even notice it. I'm sure there are some people who might notice it, but like I said, unless the frame rate really drops (like too much is happening on screen) I tend not to notice.

 

[Caldwin]

Small detail I never put together before...

In Mass Effect 2, Eclipse smuggled Morith off of Illium on a ship called the Demeter. Morinth is an Ardat-Yakshi, not too different from what could be considered a biotic vampire.

Dracula moved from the Carpathians to England on a ship called the Demeter.

 

[Caldwin]

So if you're play paragon, best outcome is to convince Garrus not to kill Sidonis. This is done after killing a whole crap ton of people trying to get to him.

I mean sure, the people you kill are criminals, but Sidonis isn't so innocent either. So after killing so many just to get to this point, this is where the paragon draws the line?

I also finished the Tuchanka loyalty missions. I earned a few renegade points there
