Mass Effecting (Part 2)
Concluded Callie's ME1 playthrough in the weeeeeee hours this morning. Got 4 hours of sleep then got up and brainstormed on a doll project in between MY BODY IS READY and Boot Camp Thursday posts. Also played a little over an hour of ME2.
ME1 COMPLETIONIST PLAYTHROUGH
NG+ Callie Shepard
Colonist
Sole Survivor
Starting Level 53
Current Level 60 (SQUEE)
End Time over 69 hours (I forgot to write down the time before I imported)
Finished Quests
The First
Finished Quests Cont'd
Geth Incursions - Gave data to Tali
Garrus: Paragon'd
UNC: Cerberus - Found Kahoku. ;__;
Investigated Banes death after Kahoku died so I didn't get a chance to ask him anything about Banes (Also: Kahoku has children and fought batarians. :| ALL MY FEELS)
Feros: Spared Shiala, No colonists killed, Reestablished water, got the food and the power cells and took care of the geth in the tunnels
Feros: Recovered Gavin Hossel's mod-design data
UNC: Exogeni Facility - took the bribe, Dr. Ross lives (Calleigh was tired of killing things at this point; Kaidan and Ashley both had problems with it)
UNC: Colony of the Dead - complete
Therum: Liara retrieved after Feros - I didn't get her fun crazy dialogue :| I could have sworn if you don't pick her up right away and after Feros - I did a shit ton of sidequests before even getting to Feros. More than half of them, I think. She should have been crazy. :/
Virmire - Wrex lives, Kaidan sent to lead the salarian team, Ash's boom stick with me until she wasn't, Ash armed the bomb and Callie saved Kaidan and Kirrahe's team - head!canon: needed witnesses to back up what Callie said about Sovereign
UNC: Hades' Dogs - Kahoku avenged
UNC: Derelict Freighter - creepy huskified ship - Kaidan hacked the system to find out what happened to the crew
Noveria: Lorik Q'inn kept data and black mailed Anoleis, spied on Rafael Vargas for Mallene Calis (her resemblance to one of my sisters is uncanny!), gave Opold's package to Inamorda
Noveria: Blew up the quarantine labs because the doctor expected a soldier to be able to mix a bunch of chemicals together without making them go boom cured the scientists of the Thoros-B contamination, got attacked by an asari after she smarted off to Callie, Kaidan and Liara, then broken into the sealed labs - Taking Liara made my playthrough drastically different. I don't remember getting misty-eyed before (ALL MY FEELS LIARA) - the movements were pretty plastic, but the voice acting was pretty stellar - It's been a while since I did the missions in this particular order - usually Liara's near dead last
Noveria: Rachni queen saved with Liara arguing that they needed to be saved and Kaidan implying about the acid tanks
Noveria: blew the Hot Labs - I forgot to do the renegade option that makes Kaidan say, "RTFM, ma'am" and Liara answer with, "What?" ;__; Oh well, FOREVER HEAD!CANON!
Kaidan called Udina a bastard when the Normandy got grounded =D
Kaidan was still very cautious about his relationship with Callie (more so than I remember from other playthroughs - don't think I missed any conversations but I didn't double check them) - and she didn't renegade him into almost admitting he loved her :/
Mr. Keeler's assistant will be handling the negotiation with the salarians - Callie paragon'd and renegaded him when he was being difficult
Took neutral way out with Charles Saracino - Callie doesn't play politics
Anderson punched Udina !!!!!!
UNC: Listening posts completed, Rachni taken care of
UNC: Depot Sigma-23 taken care of
UNC: Besieged Base - only one colonist died because Callie shot a container - blamed herself in front of Hackett
Eletania - explored ruin with Kaidan and Liara and Callie got knocked on her ass when she got zapped by the Prothean sphere
Lovins: Callie doesn't want a pet - Kaidan didn't seem to be expecting that answer =D
Found the Conduit - Boy did they EVER
Council Saved
Callie took the neutral route and let the politicians decide - Shouldn't have taken this option. :/ Only two choices in ME2.
Legue Medallions 10/10
Salarian ID Tags 3/3
Prothean data discs 10/7 (got 3 more than I needed lol)
Asari Writings 13/10 (got 3 more than I needed lol)
Minerals (after I hit level 60, I stopped exploring - I had the UNC listening posts and Depot Sigma-23 still to do and the end run):
Light metals 27/20
Heavy Metals 31/20
Rare Earths 29/20
Gasses 7/6
Notes:
Primary squadmates until Virmire: Ashley and Kaidan; after Virmire: Kaidan and Liara
Took the elevators almost everywhere - got more chats between Kaidan and Ashley than I got with Liara and Kaidan - ^______^ LOVE TRIANGLE FIRMLY CEMENTED
Also got Kahoku's dead news more than once ;_____; MY FEELS
I regret not renegading Kaidan into a more human-centric POV during this playthrough, but it doesn't work for Callie's story. I currently have no hardened Kaidans. :c If anyone happens to renegade him and play with him in ME3, would you let me know if there are any differences? (after I've played through ME3, of course)
THRESHERS
THRESHERS EVERYWHERE
O.o
I did not realize just how many we encountered. Until I encountered them.
Callie had to play politics going into ME2. :| :| :| :|
Forgot how short the love scene was.
Virmire decision was HARD. ;__;
Liara said she only was interest in Shepard professionally, but she did seem to harbor sekrit feels. Actually enjoyed some of the dialogue with her more than I have in past playthroughs.
And that's all I can think of right now.
