Junior Adventurer's Guild: January - Mass Effect

[TheEmptyRoad]

Are there any good mods for new companions and quests?

NEW companions, no, not that that I’m aware of, however there is the Virmire Savior Mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/masseffectleg ... /mods/1212.

You’ll need the Legendary Edition since I believe this is only available for that version.

If want to mod the OG game or the Legendary Edition, this is the Mod Manager to use: https://me3tweaks.com/modmanager/

Unfortunately, most mods you’ll want are hosted on *spit* NexusMods.

[Finarfin]

Use the mello mod and obviously those on the HQ lel

[WhiteShark]

Are there any mods that turn Mass Effect into a game about golf (i.e., an RPG)?

[TheEmptyRoad]

So a bunch of people will just post an old screenshot or a screenshot of their achievement.

Anyone who does this during the initial month is lame and gay. The whole point of AG is to play a game during that month. Even starting halfway through an old save is keeping to the spirit of the thing. Screenshotting your game complete achievement you got years ago is fine if the month has passed and you just want the badge. During the month though, just play the **** game!

I played it a few weeks ago, I'm good.

I'm playing through the third one right now, if that helps.

If you’re not too far into it and willing to mod it I have a recommendation for you: https://www.moddb.com/mods/altered-assassin

I wanted to do a mostly vanilla playthrough this time, since the last time I played a few years ago I used a lot of mods. These days I generally prefer vanilla or close-to-vanilla experiences for most games.

That said, I am using just a couple of mods. Mainly the community patch and a mod that makes Ashley look closer to her ME1 appearance, because I do not like her bimbo look in ME3. When I applied the Ashley appearance mod, the mod tool warned me that it had to be the final mod, and that no additional mods could be added afterward. So I don't think I could actually add anything else at this point without a full restart. Thanks, though!

btw, oyster posturing or agreeing over “the spirit of the thing” is funny, but rings hollow considering he drove corncake off the site by refusing to give him a badge during one of his petty power-trips, even though corncake played and finished the game earnestly. Never deal with bad-faith actors in good faith.

You just created a million corncakes.

@logincrash I tweaked your design slightly (used the Mass Effect font).

Not really a bad thing though, better than the autism daycare that is RPGCodex.

You haven't really beat ME1 if you haven't done Pinnacle Station

[Oyster Sauce]

Mass Effect

What starts as a routine mission to an agrarian outpost quickly becomes the opening salvo in an epic war. As the newly appointed Executive Officer of the SSV Normandy, you'll assemble and lead an elite squad of heroes into battle after heart-pounding battle. Each decision you make will impact not only your fate, but the destiny of the entire galaxy in the Mass Effect trilogy. Key Features: Incredible, interactive storytelling. Create and customize your own character, from Commander Shepard's appearance and skills to a personalized arsenal. Unleash devastating abilities as you command and train. Your decisions will control the outcome of each mission, your relationships with your crew and ultimately the entire war. An amazing universe to explore. From the massive Citadel to the harsh, radioactive landscape of the Krogan home world – the incredible breadth of the Mass Effect universe will blow you away. Travel to the farthest outposts aboard the SSV Normandy, the most technologically advanced ship in the galaxy. You'll follow the clues left by ancient civilizations, discover hidden bases with fantastic new tech and lead your hand-picked crew into explosive alien battles. Edge-of-your-seat excitement meets strategic combat. Find the perfect combination of squad-mates and weapons for each battle if you want to lead them to victory. Sun-Tzu's advice remains as pertinent in 2183 as it is today – know your enemy. You'll need different tactics for a squad of enemies with devastating biotic attacks than a heavily armored Geth Colossus so choose your teams wisely.

the full trilogy is like $8 until the fifth

Legendary (pozzed) edition count?

[pol_345polex]

Now it's right.

[logincrash]

Now it's right.

This gay **** has got to stop. Don't be a lazy ****** and start up the game to take a screenshot of your completed playthrough at the very least.

I can understand for the games without achievements but this has all the proof required. Gay **** are other things and i'm not here to make you fools.

The purpose of the Junior's Adventurer's Guild isn't to prove that you've completed the game at any point in your life. It's to encourage people to play said game this month or replay it later.
Every single badge that you've gotten for showing your Steam achievements page is worthless.

Then @Oyster Sauce can remove them and who's competetent to the Adventurers Guild Thread should have said to me that i should've replayed the games instead of allowing me to post the previous screesnshots. I only followed what i was allowed to do, not my fault.

[rusty_shackleford]

No opinion on changes to JAG rules, but I veto any retroactive badge removals due to ineligibility under new rules.

[TheEmptyRoad]

There’s a Mod that adds it back in to Legendary Edition. LE users have no excuse.

Ban anyone that uses fem Shep.

Femshep feels like one of the first gaming gaslights to me. I never saw anyone ever discuss playing as her back in the day and then the ME3 marketing came out and she was front and center. G4 was giving segments dedicated to her leading up to release and they even added a reversible cover for the box art that featured Femshep. Nowadays I see countless people claim that Jennifer Hale did a better job then Meer voicing the character and that male Shepard isn't canon. These people seem to get very angry though when you show them the data regarding what actual gamers chose when going through the series:

I remember Bioware conducting a survey asking people to chose the best design for female Shepard. Gamers overwhelmingly voted for a blonde, and then Bioware ignored the results and made her ginger.

I am fine with that. @pol_345polex should still replay all the games he's got the badges for if he wants to be taken seriously, though.

She did in ME1. Meer was putting on a "heroic" affectation when voicing Shepard for the first time. He's gotten much better in the sequels - he's more comfortable and emotive.
Hale did well in ME1 but then phoned in the performance in ME2 and ME3. It's surprising how bad she is in those games.

[Finarfin]

Started doing my playthrough when the vote started since I knew ME1 will win so there you go:

► Show Spoiler

Gotta say I played Mass Effect 1 countless times (probably close to 50+ or so) and it still is fun as ****. ******* LOVE MASS EFFECT 1. This time I did a ruthless and calculated Shepard.
Nominating Mass Effect 2 ofcourse.
