<p>Fingers crossed that it all goes well.</p>

<p>Thank you. </p><p>
</p><p>There are two parts that need to be purchased/downloaded separately, if I'm remembering correctly from the 360. It's possible that they both lumped in together, as they do on the Origin version, but I'm not sure. Are you having any issues with the other DLC? I assume that it's not just a timing issue, with it not appearing. </p><p>
</p><p>The simplest thing I can think of to check would be whether or not you're able to buy the Ultralight Materials mods for Assault Rifles, Shotguns, or Sniper Rifles at any of the stores on the Citadel, as those require Citadel to appear.</p>

<p>Out of curiosity, did you have the DLC on the 360 and transfer it across?</p><p>
</p><p>And yeah, it should show 2 of 2, definitely.</p>

<p>Still laughing at this, five days later!</p>

<p>Possible that you could go into the load game menu and select the next-most-recent autosave and try again? It might not fix it, but rolling back may help. Possibly also trying to reclaim the rewards in Militia HQ rather than on the Tempest.</p>

<p>Ohh, yeah! From the inside, I can see what you mean by that. just had a check through some other images for it, and it's clearer now. xD</p>

<p>I'd probably play as all of them, just for the experience. Like Stelarspectre said, it could be run like the racial origin story in DA:O, which leads your character to the point where you hit the main story in the same place for each. Could possibly even have each potential starting character as a member of your team, or an enemy, depending on what the neutral response choices are for each of them. I know it's unlikely to happen, but it would be cool.</p>

<p>You had the issue with the eternal DLC checking popup, right? Glad that you're able to play, at least, even if it's not ideal. </p><p>
</p><p>And yeah, the Citadel DLC is well worth the money, I think.</p>

<p>Genesis is fantastic if you want to start your playthrough at ME2, allowing your character to have a non-neutral, default background. It's never quite the same, though.</p>

<p>Thanks for the information there, Marolf. Thought I'd replied to this already, but I appreciate you taking the time to explain this. </p>

<p>One of the reasons he grew on me. Plus his appearance in ME3.</p>

<p>As was I, his skills were never something that I'd have wanted to lose, simply from a morality standpoint (my) paragon Shep really didn't appreciate the nature of the person attached to them. But he did grow on me, after a while, I must admit.</p>

<p>Yeah, it's a shame it went that way, honestly.</p><p>
</p><p>She does, yeah. They use her to trace the signal back to (one of) the world(s) that Leviathan might be hiding on. </p><p>
</p><p>The N7 Crusader with incendiary ammo isn't too shabby an option to use when dealing with a Banshee either. Probably a little OP for a shotgun, really. That gun is also really rather fun for letterboxing Guardians as well. </p>

<p>It wouldn't do, since it shows the rebuilding phase wherein all synthetic life has been destroyed, it would take take time for any species to feel safe building synthetics again, but they would, eventually. And then who knows what will happen? It might go perfectly, it might not. The Catalyst states that the peace would be short lived. To a salarian, that's years, to a human (Or similarly aging species) that's decades, to an asari, centuries. To a Reaper, or the thing that's been around since the first cycle, controlling them, that can be tens of thousands of years. </p><p>
</p><p>I don't think that there's a truly perfect ending, but Synthesis made the most sense for most of the characters I played. Destroy had its appeal for one of my Shep's, and I've chosen Control as well. In the end, choice matters on an individual level.</p>

<p>That's good to know, thanks. I expect that any Shep I ran through that would have a very much "Do what it takes to complete the mission" attitude, and would see the detriment of having his squad dropping like flies, even if it's at the final hurdle. </p><p>
</p><p>That would make sense for Samara, I expect. Given that even if Shep is renegade, he's still the best chance that the galaxy has to pull it all together for their survival. </p>

<p>In ME1, run your Charm/Intimidate points up as high as they'll go (I usually do half of the points from each level up) That'll give you some bonus starting paragade points for ME2. Your class passive in ME2 will boost your paragade score by 70-100% at rank 4, depending on which option you choose, so if you have that by the time you're mid way through the game, it should fill out the majority of your bar. Once you go to Tuchanka, you can get the Death Mask from Ratch's wares, which will help, too, as well as the Inferno Armor. </p>

<p>I was curious as to whether or not they would react differently to what was going on, during a renegade run. It's one that I can't just Genesis start on ME2, either, since I'd need to get into that Shep's head. I wonder what happens if you're renegade and decide to keep Samara, just because she says she might be forced to kill you if you make her do dishonorable things. </p>

<p>I always level my Charm/Class Passives up faster than my combat skills in all of the games, specifically to avoid that.</p>

<p>Ahh, I see. And yes, yes they were! </p><p>
</p><p>I assume that if I want them all to survive on a Renegade playthrough I'd need to adjust my formula a little? Paragon/paragade is easy if you complete the loyalty missions, just send Tali through the vents, Miranda leading the second team, and Samara for the biotic shield, and Mordin back with the surviving crew. Then they all survive every time. I started a Renegade play a while ago, but I've not gotten around to finishing it. </p>
