Mass Effect - Aboard The Normandy (Part I)

Part one of my Mass Effect playthrough.

Remember, if you haven't yet played Mass Effect and are not interested in spoilers for the storyline, I would advise you to step away and skip to the parts that you may need aid in.

Character Log: Selene Shephard/Soldier/Spacer/Sole Survivor on the Veteran difficulty.

Obviously, having accumulated the items in my inventory that I have -- the Spectre gear for example -- I have completed a couple of playthroughs prior to this. These playthroughs were all on the 'Normal' difficulty which I find ridiculously easy nowadays. Now that I've had more experience with the handling of the game, I've now completed it on Insanity; I will never go back to playing the easier difficulties ever again. It's a lot more fun this way and I love a challenge! Insanity is awesome and I wish that I had waited a little longer now to record myself playing on that difficulty. There's a meaning to the term 'survival' in battle, not just running in gung ho, bullets firing left, right and centre.

Originally, I had plotted to create and edit my game to enact akin to a movie; without all of the loading screens, save checkpoints, etc. Unfortunately at this point in time, I couldn't locate a suitable video editing program to edit these down without it crashing or whatnot.

I guess I can call this more of a 'walk-through' guide for any newbies to the game that need assistance at any point. I'll try and upload the various sections of the game as I go along.

I tried to include as many of the sidequests and UNC missions as possible in the length of time that I had to capture my videos but if anyone has a specific request for a sidequest or mission then I would be more than happy to playthrough the assignment for anyone in need of assistance.

Helluva long post. Enjoy!

how do you get the spectre gear?

[SyriusInar]

In order to get the Spectre gear, you have to have played through with the character previously.

The only reason that I was able to equip this armor at the beginning of a playthrough was because I had already located it, in another run before this.

Hope this helps.

This game is fantastic ^^.(PC version here)

I just end my first("HOW TO EAT THIS")run end as full paragon(no more spoilers here ^^), but i am curious how you are able to wear Colossus X heavy armor from the beginning?

Only one Minus i found but not affected gameplay at all is MAKO driving.

In PC version camera is set to free what makes sometimes hard to drive.

OK its time to start another run ^^.

[SyriusInar]

I wouldn't have been able to equip the Colossus X armor at the beginning of this run if it hadn't been for me having completed the game before with this character.

The Mako was a bit of a pest at first to get used to but I actually began to enjoy driving around in it; some of the exploration assignments did begin to get repetitive though.

Best of luck on your next playthrough.

Selene Shepard, Soldier, Sole survivor and Spacer? All begin with S! Coincidence? I think not.

[Malumbrus]

He's also the voice of Goliath from Gargoyles the cartoon. He does a lot of voice acting.

[spain1983carlos]

i love this hypnotic music

[InspieringEpicVideos]

Please hurry up with Mass Effect 3!!!. I love it, ffs

[Ryu8210]

Shut up Jenkins! No one cares if you are itching! Docter, give him some cream. "JENKINS WAS THIS BIG!" XD

[Ryu8210]

The create a character is far too limited in this game though. Alot of sheppards look the same. This one is a tad diffrent.

[Gam3Junkie7]

WTF!? Every single F***ing Playthrough I try to watch has Shepard being a victim and having survived a thing that resulted in everyone dying but him/her! I don't want to watch a walking sob story! I want to see either a war hero or ruthless warrior! You people are making Shepard too human!

[benjyharibo96]

it is on most games and yes it is :)

[canadiens274]

Is the camera like Red Faction:Guerrilla? I mean full 360 view?

[N3C70V01D]

Love this game.. only thing i can complain is the absence of stealth manovers,i'm using an infiltrator class character and the game doesn't allow me to even make good use of a sniper rifle or is that or i suck!!I find the vanguard and soldier the best class adding that with the comando specialization.I have a question does the nature of the assigments we get depends on our paragon/renegade points?! Is it possible to end the game with a neutral 50% paragon 50% renegade?!Thanx

[Sursion7]

It's not spectre armour, it's colossus. And the spectre weapons are only available once you reach a high enough level, complete 1 playthrough, and reach 1,000,000 credits.
