If you NG+, the Codex resets, apparently? Otherwise yeah it'd be fine and would take me like 5m to get. So I'll get the Prothean entry, but I won't have the others.
I'll have to do some searching around the Citadel for the entries, that's all. I just wanted all the trophies done in this run. --- Not to be confused with XIII_stones. https://imgur.com/agodP3r ... Copied to Clipboard!

Oh never mind, turns out I got it and wasn't looking in the right place. Trophy popped when I picked up the Keepers entry

If I go acquire the Reaper IFF, can I do both Tali AND Legion's loyalty missions before they steal my crew?

Pretty sure the abduction triggers after 2 missions/assignments, so yes.
EDIT: Actually, I'm pretty *confident* that's the case, but I'm not 100% sure, so I don't wanna commit to that answer when there's potentially a lot on the line. --- Yoblazer https://imgur.com/gByqgPg ... Copied to Clipboard!

It has always been my understanding (and what every guide says) that you can only do the one mission after completing the IFF, and that needs to be Legion's for a perfect run. Mine triggered after one mission this time for sure.

You can do [Party Member] Loyalty + Legion Loyalty after the IFF and be okay. It's only 1 mission if you did all the Loyalty Missions prior to IFF in which case Legion will give his immediately and it's only 1 mission allowed. At least in the OG ME2.
I personally like to do Tali + Legion after IFF for that reason because bringing Legion to Tali's is amazing. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? ... Copied to Clipboard!

Patch 1.03
General English spoken dialogue can now be selected separately from subtitle language Resolved issues with unlocking some achievements/trophies, such as the Paramours or kill count trackers Corrected pre-rendered cutscenes that were darker than intended after the previous update Improved PC performance across various hardware configurations, including on Virmire Other minor calibrations and fixes, including some instances of crashing Mass Effect Fixed an issue that prevented players from reaching the max level Fixed an issue where tier VII Spectre - Master Gear was inaccessible Various collision improvements Fixed an issue that would prevent the ability to interact with objects Lowered audio volume on Mass Relay load screens Improved eye animations for male characters in some scenes Mass Effect 2 Toned down the intensity of fog on Illium Fixed an issue where a characters eyes at the end of the Overlord DLC were unintentionally red Reduced the max credits that can be carried from Mass Effect to Mass Effect 2 down to 100k for more balanced early-game progression Credit carryover maximum now matches carryover from the original release Posthumous banking fees are a lot! Its a great way to dodge taxes.

Man ME1's final mission really sings. So rare to see the crew interacting with each other as they do just before you land on Ilos, the Vigil plot dump, then the crazy visual of the Citadel space walk and Sovereign on the horizon. The cutscenes look great now too, especially when the Normandy destroys Sovereign.
And then that transition into the best ending credits theme in a video game. Really satisfying end that makes you forget the relative emptiness of some of the preceeding 50 hours. --- Not to be confused with XIII_stones. https://imgur.com/agodP3r ... Copied to Clipboard!

Can you get all the "Use ____ 25 times" Trophies by manually selecting them from your allies? Because letting them automatically use them clearly doesn't count. --- "One toot on this whistle will take you to a far away land." -Toad, SMB3 ... Copied to Clipboard!

Question It does count, unlike in the original. But you have to have an actual target for most powers and can't just fire them off whenever. Fortunately the Citadel fast travel stations count as targets. The only one this doesn't work for that I know of is AI Hacking, which has to be done on an actual enemy. Not sure if it has to be a synthetic to count. Neural Shock might be similar. ... Copied to Clipboard!
|
XIII_rocks 06/08/21 4:14:15 PM #81: |
Yeah I knew about the fast travel exploit but not that AI hacking and neural shock don't count, which led to some wasted time
AI hacking needs to be done on a synthetic, Neural Shock on an organic. But the game counts the Mako as an organic. So bite the bullet, take Kaidan on a mission with you and have him Neural Shock the Mako 25 times. You can save/reload (faster than waiting for the cooldown). And yes, you have to manually command it for it to count --- Not to be confused with XIII_stones. https://imgur.com/agodP3r ... Copied to Clipboard!

Mass Effect 3 did poor in that regard, but I will say that The Walking Dead Season 1 also came out that year to massive critical acclaim and it was worse about making player choice matter than ME3 was. I mean this has nothing to do with the conversation but it was strange to me at the time and still is, so I'm okay with random asides when half the posts in these topics are talking about the best way to get achievements anyway.
Plus ME3 will always have Tuchanka which is one of the best 'your choices mattered' convergences of any game I've ever played. --- It's Reyn Time. ... Copied to Clipboard!
