@sweetpoison0011Except Stasis was available in the original release of the game and the power itself transfered to ME3 builds, doing the Lair of the Shadow Broker DLC and unlocking the trophy to catch up with Liara provided players to earn not just the Stasis power but also an opportunity to unlock the Paramour trophy as well after rekindling her romance, which is why people are likely having issues with the Paramour 2 if they romanced Liara.

@draconiamI didn't had LotSB DLC in original ME2 so...
As for achievements yes, the description is wrong letting players to believe that Kelly (ME2), Diana (ME3) or Liara (ME2) can trigger it. Curious if Morinth gives the achievement for romance because that would be for a laugh.
- draconiam5 years agoSeasoned Ace@sweetpoison0011 Ok, so the DLC offerings Overlord, Arrival and LOTSB had two achievements tied to the game but Bioware took out 4 for the remaster. The other one for LOTSB was to meeting Liara in the Normandy and players akin to a loyalty mission. It baffles me why they didn't add the option for players who don't want to cheat on their ME1 romance a the Paramur trophy specially Liara when there is an option to rekindle the romance.
- sweetpoison00115 years agoSeasoned Ace@draconiam Honestly, never cared about achievements as I don't have any one to brag about and I take satisfaction on playing the game more than looking at some badges. And if I'm not mistaken there are more achievements removed in remastered version like playing most of ME1 with a specific companion, leveling achievements and I guess some about combat. Overall I think is more appropriate to set new achievements after complete integration of DLC.
For ME2 I kind of played last part twice only to see if the achievements are impossible to gain as many posts here are suggesting. There was a problem indeed as the achievements on Origin and those in game were triggered in same time and only one was validated (the one on Origin). Mostly when the achievement was granted in same time with a new scene loading. I did got all anyway by playing again the last part of the game.
In terms of normal play I always follow paragon only in ME1 with romance Liara and lose Ash, lots of renegate choices on ME2 since there are more appropriate in terms of story and no romance, combined paragon/renegate in ME3 and romance Liara.
Back to original topic, this remastered worth for me every single coin. Hell, the missing ME2 DLC were jalf of the remastered price so hell yeah I had to buy it. Also I did waste lots of time and effort with all original games to make them look better and still far from how they look being done by BW.- draconiam5 years agoSeasoned Ace@sweetpoison0011 The companion Achievement/Trophy are there in ME1, Bioware just reduced the number of all the required quests (side quest, delivery quests and main story counts) to 5 for all of them and made it possible to get the Biotic, Tech and Soldier awards just by selecting them on companions on valid targets (currently Platinued both ME 1 and 2, I need to complete ME3 once to Platinum and then start all over again in the first game on Insanity to finish up the shares trophies.
I never played the third game DLC quests or the unavailable Pinnacle Station DLC so this is an awesome package. My choices are ME1:
-male Shepard, sent Williams with the Salarians, Alenko turned that nuke on and demanded I go to save Williams and I honored his final wish saying he didn't had a single regret, didn't kill Wrex, saved Kirrahe, Paragon but did filled the Renegade option to get the most out of the game (Lorik Quinn exploit), saved the Council, romanced Williams and helped Wrex get his armor oh, helped Tali on her Pilgrim and got Dr. Heart killed with Garrus.
Oh, Udina as councillor (felt good what happened to him in three, I think me and Williams were competing to kill him on the third game).
ME2:
-be suspicious of the big obvious bad guy, meet with Anderson on the Citadel to talk with the Council and get Specter status again, full Paragon but this time just 50% Renagade, find out that for some miracle Williams isn't captured by the Collectors (Bioware made a movie called Paragon Lost about James Vega and how that in the colony he was the Alliance was developing an antidote against the Swarms using Cerberus like testing on prisoners that attacked the colony and a Cerberus operative who sabotaged the coms relay as he and his boss were looking for ways to pass the Omega 4 Relay, Vega only stated he saved the data over the colonists but kept quiet on that bit to his Specter CO), The Illusive Man intentionally leaked and twisted Shepard association with his org to get someone as Williams to act as a bait and people like her and Anderson bought the whole line, hook and sinker (but due to unavailable data we the player never really got the intel that Cerberus did also play a role in a colony strike, and let's be real TIM dealt with the Collectors before as he knows a lot about them), recruited all companions prior to the Reaper mission, did some missions and gained all but Tali loyalty. When I was done with the Reaper I activated Legion, did Tali loyalty with it and then talked again with Legion to get his mission and after blowing up the Heretics (Shepard wanted to brainwash them and argued that Geth and organics are different but after realizing there was no guarantee that they wouldn't go back to worship the Reapers we blew them up). The ship crew got captured and as I had all ship upgrades plus loyalties and a heck of an armory we went there, blew them up and lost no one.
On the DLC well: did Firewalker, LOTSB, Overlord (I once left David but now spared him as there isn't a tangible use for the data, my little brother has autism and this DLC angered me agaisnt his older brother) then did Arrival.
ME3:
-currently going to Palaven after the Mars mission fiasco when Cerberus decided to go full opposition and slaughtered useful personal and nearly killed Williams. Let's see how the DLC goes as I never had them originally.
