Re: ME3 LE (PC) vs ME3 LE (Xbox X) war assets points

Hey @40ae2f24fabe0043,

I would check that whichever guide you're following has been updated for the Legendary Edition specifically, and isn't just basing that information off the original Mass Effect 3 numbers.

War assets were rebalanced in the Legendary Edition to account for lack of multiplayer and the old companion app, so your choices from ME1 and ME2 are factored in more heavily. If you had skipped through those or are just playing ME3, you'd need to complete nearly all the side content to get enough war assets for the best ending, though it's absolutely possible.

There is a bit more info about those changes on this page

  • It's the most current IGN's ME1-3 LE full walkthrough roadmap.  As I said, I used it for my XBox play and never had issue with TMS reaching and passing 7800k.  The war asset points are much lower in the PC version.  In XBox the Leviathan DLC is worth 400 war asset points, in PC it was worth maybe 100 and something.

    I wouldn't have any details about point differences between platforms unfortunately, but it's certainly still possible to get the best ending on PC.
  • I'm sure there are ways to get the "best ending"....... I'm just don't know why I can get it on my Xbox with no trouble and fail by 600 points after doing the same thing on PC.

    Leviathan gives 500 war assets points overall in the MELE, and on PC as well.

    The main mission is 400 and additional 100 points can be found in the areas during the course of the DLC.

    I finished with 8300+ Total Military Strength on PC, and there are some points I missed due to roll-playing, so there is more than enough MS in the game to reach the "good" ending.
    I also doubt that there is a significant difference between the PC and the consoles in regards to war assets points giving for specific missions and overall.

    So you might have a glitch there, but I never heard about such a problem until now.

  • I understand what you are saying about What war asset points are suppose to be.....  I'm just telling you that my War Asset Points are not what equaling what is posted in all the Walkthroughs.

    Example: 

    Diana Allers:  XBox is 5 War Assets    PC:  1 War Asset

    Normandy SR-2:  XBox is 185 before Citadel DLC   PC: 34 before Citadel DLC

    Jack:  XBox 25 WAP...  PC 10 WAP

    If it's a glitch, then how do I fix it?

    Did you switch to PC during your playthrough of the trilogy?

    Or is your current PC playthrough using a save file with all your ME 1 + 2 PC data as well?

    Your choices earlier in the trilogy can affect the points you're receiving in ME3 for some assets.
  • I am playing through from ME(LE)1-3 on PC.

    I did every "right decision", every planet scanned, every mission, every side mission and every DLC missions.

    As I said above:  The points don't match up. I'm getting short changed for war asset.

       

  •                                                                    

    PC War Asset:  Normandy after 1st Citadel Visit     PC War Asset:  Diana and Khalisah after 1st Citadel Visit        XBOX X War Asset for Normandy, Diana and Khalisah after 1st Citadel Visit

    That is what I'm trying to explain.  The War Assets don't match and yes both Diana and Khalisah were Paragon actions.  I did the Repair button for the game on EA app, but same results.

    Can anyone give me any other suggestions?

    This is very strange.

    Do you use or used any mods? (Including ME1 & 2.)
    Did you edited any game files?
    Did you edited your save games? (Including ME1 & 2.)

  • I have the Happy Ending Mod and Diversity Mod for ME3.

    I don't edit game files or saved games.  I would be to scared I'd screw something up.

    I'm going to take everything off, delete and reinstall game....maybe that will fix glitch.
