    The biotic charge + heavy melee that cuts the biotic charge time in half, along with my Geth shotgun is awesome. I always feel like I'm taking too big of a risk charging into a group of Ravagers and Banshee's, but I somehow always survive thanks to that charge.

      That's exactly the problem.
      The x is gone.

      Not really a spoiler because anyone that's played the game for 10 minutes knows...if you put Anderson in charage during ME 1 and encouraged him during ME 2 it's still Udina in charge in ME 3. Putting Anderson in charge was supposed to do something,it did nothing.

      Anyway there's the much,much,much greater issue of Bioware being filthy lying scum because not one person has managed to get enough war assets to enable all ending without multiplayer without editing it on PC. Myself included despite that I've completed every single sidequest in all 3 games.

        thats disappointing since I have zero interest in multiplayer in this game.

              @jeffrubenstein @chrisgrant you do NOT need to play MP for the best ending. there's ample opportunity in the campaign to earn the "best."

              @aegies @chrisgrant so, basically, fill the assets bar? I'm afraid to read a FAQ and spoil something...

              @jeffrubenstein @chrisgrant yeah. if you want to/can. if you mess up, or make certain decisions, you might not fill it.

              19h Hollander Cooper ‏ @HollanderCooper
              @aegies @jeffrubenstein @chrisgrant You need to get the bar (the one on the bottom) to 5K to get the "best." MP is almost mandatory.

              @HollanderCooper @jeffrubenstein @chrisgrant i played no mp and got that without a problem.

                I will say this, though. It's a very clunky way to do what Mass Effect 2 did without meters and scores.

                  You can get to 5k assets no problem. It's the fact that if you don't do MP then that 5k gets cut in half.

                      Not according to a highly-respected reviewer.

                      Like I said, it's such a clunky way to do it, and once people see that little bar they're going to try to fill it up best they can, but to me min/maxing story is weird. Make the decisions you want to make. Sometimes they'll work out, sometimes they won't.

                      None of this excuses the weird way bioware did this. To force people to may MP or iphone games in order to help your story progress is a weird and bad way of doing narrative. That being said, it appears that if you really try you can still get the best ending, which seems apropos considering the Reapers are supposed to be an insurmountable force.

As far as it being on the disc, just because part of the content is there, it doesn't mean that all of that was finished or that they just took it out of the game to rip people off. The thing is over 600 mb, it would've been a lot smaller if it was just unlocking something already on the disc.
                          Yeah, I know that the mission and everything else was part of the downloaded part of the DLC because it was 600mb. That's not what I was really critical about. My entire point was the more I played the more it seems that he was incorporated in the original story and meant to be played with him unlocked. There is a mission in the game that if you take him along, he will be talking the entire time. Even after the mission he has more to say.

                          Where as Katsumi/Zaheed were characters that if you never knew them, they wouldn't really matter. Their interactions on the Normandy where just lines, not full blown cutscenes with dialogue choices. The only time you really talk to them like that is on their loyalty mission itself.

                          But what do I know. If the upcoming DLC's integrates into the story as well as the Prothean then I will be playing this game for a long time to come. I really hope so, cause I don't want my Shepard experience to end.

                              If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)
