Well, that sounds just great! The older version does run pretty well. The Conrad bug I was able to fix with the Gibbed editor. Only a few bugs here and there.
The only thing I'm REALLY looking forward to is seeing how the Mako runs. I REALLY love ME1, but the Mako always frustrates me to no end. I can't tell you how many times I've sworn to hunt down and strangle the person who created it.
I'm really going to miss Pinnacle though. It's really the only way to get all level 10 gear. That'll be darn near impossible without it.
I still won't be playing the ending of ME3 though. Can't bring myself to do it. Finished it once. Only once. Back when it first came out. Got me so upset I snapped my PS3 disk in half. Couldn't even play any of them for over a year. Even now, I can't bring myself to finish it. The ending is just... bad.
LOL, I didn't snap a disk in half, but I can barely play any of the original trilogy with ME1 being the easiest of them to get into. I can play ME:Andromeda and like it, but the ending of ME3 just grates so bad it soured me on the game.....I want MELE to come out but I will be ending the game run just before going to Earth again.
I have heard many people hate on the Mako, but as a PC player I didn't find it that bad. I did figure out how to read the land and map to figure out how to drive where they wanted you too, to make it easy to get around. I hated the ME2 craft much more, if for no other reason than the silliness of it's design and effects....you could actually kill the heavy Geth mechs by landing on their backs twice.....or shoot them like 50 times....So a craft that could be killed in two shots, can run under the legs of a Geth heavy mech, launch up with boosters, come down on it's back and kill it quicker and safer than shooting at it....

Lol, yea. I was the same way for ages. The ending of ME3 ruined the entire series for me for ages. I was like, "Why play ME1 and 2 if it's only going to end like that?"
Now, I can sorta "forget" about it for the majority of the playthrough. But once I get to that final mission... I lose all willingness to play. I usually end the game right after Citadel.
Well, regarding the Mako, I'm a bit of a completionist. I have to get ALL the mining locations and such so I have to drive over the worst mountains to get them because they ALWAYS put them right at the top.
Hammerhead is a bit less annoying. I hate the delay in the jumpjets and it's incredibly short lifetime. Not very reactive at all.
Being a completionist is kinda why the lack of Pinnacle is bumming me out. I can get all level 10 gear on a brand-new ME1 playthrough every time with it. I'm good... and I really don't see how I'll get to level 10 gear without it. ☹️- 5 years ago
((*Regarding the previous statements above. I don't recall many glitches or bugs in my playthroughs.
The most exciting it ever got, regarding that kind of stuff, was when Wrex got stuck in an elevator once.
Honestly, if anything, they'll probably spawn more bugs than what the original had - by tampering with it.Fix one spot, three new problemed ones spring up, isn't that how everything always seems to go...))

Such beautiful a story it all is, including the ending.Spoiler
The whole way, we're focusing on mass extinction. (The Protheans were wiped out.
The Quarians are nearly gone, as they made new life forms which made their own flesh and blood species obsolete.
The Salarians are wiping out the Krogan, meanwhile the Asari consider it vile if they're not a mixed breed - essentially trying to breed out their blood lines.
Then those Drell, the ones who over populated on their world and are dying off too.)
The Reapers come along and essentially offer eternal archiving of a species' that once were. (Everyone in existence at the time of their arrival.)
But instead of landing on a guided and caged pedestal - comprised of living data; organic lifeforms fight to die on their own terms.
Even the Reaper's don't have the perfect solution that they think they do. Since they're constructed from the same faulty logic which organics made them with; they are just as subject to it.
Forever, preserved, doesn't ""exist""
Since everything changes, nothing is forever the same, so nothing truly ""lives"" forever.
It's all just imitation...Transferences through energy.Even the data they store would eventually become corrupt, erode, decay, and alter.
But it's still so beautiful.
To watch it all unfold.
Even during the ending.
- Psychotps5 years agoSeasoned Ace@Dvveebo Geez, you're one of those weird, chaotic people who just loves a "good tragedy", aren't you? Whatever happened to a good, old-fashioned happy ending?
Tragedies aren't "good", they aren't "artistic", or any of that. They just plain s*ck. If I want a tragedy, I have real-life for that. I don't need it in my fantasy shows also. 😞

^^Youtube video I made some years ago about the Hammerhead.....
The thing about the Mako is, MOST of those hard to reach mining spots aren't all that hard, IF you pay attention to your map and the terrain. In almost every situation, they put a "road" or easier driving lane up or around those mountains, and if you pay attention to the markings on the ground you can easily get wherever you want to go. Now mind you it may not be in a straight line, but it will end up faster than trying to go over the mountains in most cases. Also doing stuff like using the out of bounds of the map to get your returned to the starting point when you are close to the edge of the map and need to go in a different direction. Maybe it was just better on PC, or maybe it just works for me, but the Mako isn't all that hard to get where you want to go.
If you have a certain spot you think is ultra hard, and want me to look at it and see if I can do a video of how to get there easier, feel free to post it up.
- 5 years ago@Psychotps I need to have everything completed too. I agree with everything you said. I also still hate the ending I want to give up after the citadel dlc
