    Inducing Substance: a Shepard's guide. (A playthrough of the Mass Effect series.)

    I left the Citadel and did a bit of scanning in a few clusters. I found a few items requested by random people on the Citadel, including the Prothean artifacts I needed to convince the Blue Suns to join up with me. The first major mission I did after leaving the Citadel was to investigate the...

    Inducing Substance: a Shepard's guide. (A playthrough of the Mass Effect series.)

    Back on the Normandy, while EDI was trying to extract data from the synthetic body we found on Mars, she wound up taking control of it somehow and now can join me as a squad member. I also found a sign on the Normandy refrigerator... No guns or Turians allowed! Next I went back to the Citadel...

    Inducing Substance: a Shepard's guide. (A playthrough of the Mass Effect series.)

    I decided to go to Palaven, or rather its moon, first. There were reapers and husks everywhere, and the Turian forces were not in good shape. The Turian leader I was sent to find and rescue had already been killed by the time I got there, so my first task was to find out who was next in line of...

    Inducing Substance: a Shepard's guide. (A playthrough of the Mass Effect series.)

    My visit to the Council went pretty much as expected. They couldn't really do anything to help me, other than asking for favors... Ashley is still unconscious, and I got Dr. Chakwas to return to service on the Normandy. Then, after I had a nightmare about that kid, I explored the Normandy...

    They are very technical open-ended questions about ships and sailing, to which you have to give a precise typed answer. You would have to be a total fanatic on the subject to know most of them, IMO. My version of the game, at least, provides a list of the possible questions and answers...

    Inducing Substance: a Shepard's guide. (A playthrough of the Mass Effect series.)

    A quick question about ME3 gameplay for you guys: What am I supposed to do when someone throws a grenade at me and it lands behind my cover where it can hit me? Is there a way to get rid of it, or am I just supposed to run for different cover?

    Inducing Substance: a Shepard's guide. (A playthrough of the Mass Effect series.)

    Alright. Apparently after I defeated the collectors, everyone decided to sit on their hands while the Reapers were coming. I, myself, was grounded for destroying that one Mass Relay in Batarian space, so I couldn't do anything. The game starts with the Reapers arriving at Earth and starting to...

    Inducing Substance: a Shepard's guide. (A playthrough of the Mass Effect series.)

    Ok, I started ME3, and am still getting used to the changes and story so far. As far as progress goes, I just arrived on the Citadel for the first time. Will give a more detailed update once my thoughts settle a bit...

    I must admit, you are making me want to play this game again...

    Inducing Substance: a Shepard's guide. (A playthrough of the Mass Effect series.)

    I would like to know why Mordin died on my the first time I ran through the mission. I did his personal upgrade, and his loyalty mission went well too. I also did everything right as far as role choices on the suicide mission, as far as I know.

    Inducing Substance: a Shepard's guide. (A playthrough of the Mass Effect series.)

    It was certainly quite a fun mission, and it had my heart pounding the whole way. As far as "the best Bioware has ever done", I dunno. That is a pretty tall order. Bioware has done a LOT of good stuff... I would need time to think about that. Well, the Geth don't seem all that bad now. In fact...

    And now, the finale of ME2. Spoilers obviously. And that is it for ME2. Seems I have now done everything that needed to be done. Not sure if I will start ME3 right away or take a short break first. ME2 was a lot of fun though.

    Inducing Substance: a Shepard's guide. (A playthrough of the Mass Effect series.)

    After that, I found another Reaper artifact, which had turned some miners into husks. There were tons of them swarming around the place, but I blew up the artifact with my Cain and left the place. After that, I did what seems to be the final Paper Airplane mission, which took place on a junky...

    Inducing Substance: a Shepard's guide. (A playthrough of the Mass Effect series.)

    For my next mission, I found a ship on a collision course with yet another colony. This time it was the Geth that had hijacked it and were planning to use it to destroy the colony. I arrived on the scene just in time (funny how I always manage to arrive mere minutes from catastrophe) to save the...

    Inducing Substance: a Shepard's guide. (A playthrough of the Mass Effect series.)

    Continuing to explore, I discovered a colony under attack by Batarian terrorists. They had taken over a missile base and launched two big missiles at the colony and I arrived just in time to stop them, sort of. When I finally got access to the control panel, I could only stop one of the two...

    Baldur's Gate Saga RP Playthrough - Lawful Neutral Half-Elf Cleric/Mage

    Well, there are plenty of UI mods out there that try to recreate the classic look of the UI. As far as portraits go, you would just have to browse the internet and look for ones you like and put them in your game. As far as BG1 NPCs being available for recruiting in BG2, that was something the...

    Black Swallowtails

    Yes, I sometimes have trouble remembering how long individual species stay in pupa form; especially for species I don't find very often. Some of them only take a few weeks, while others will "overwinter" and only emerge the next spring. I believe most butterflies only take a few weeks, while...

    Black Swallowtails

    Well, they just emerged today as adult butterflies. Once I got a few pictures and was sure their wings were ready, I released them outside.

    Good luck with the girl character... I would never have the gumption to try playing a character that cannot use muskets... (all female characters cannot use muskets in this game, I believe due to a lack of art assets or something).
