Just don't give him a specific task, and he should be fine.
that is because you didn't give him what he wanted.

I sent tali through the vents and she still died. :/
And whats that?
And whats that?
If you took the path to save the workers over killing Vido, you didn't give him what he wants.

Miranda is not loyal because i took jacks side when she was arguing with her. Thats why tali still dies.
Is there a way to gain her loyalty again?
Edit- Maby i can choose Garrus instead?

well what exactly should i do? l took him and tali with me to the final battle and he died.
You can speak to her again afterwards, and with another Paragon dialogue option(not as high, you might be able to use it), convince her that you were just trying to shut Jack up, basically.
You lose out on any chance of a romantic relationship with her though.
You can still gain his loyalty if your Paragon score is high enough. I'm guessing it wasn't, based on your outcome of Miranda and Jack's conflict.

Depending on your class, Garrus can be a pretty important squadmate in ME3 because for the majority of ME3, he's the only squadmate who is durable and has the ability to deal with enemy shields so it might be worthwhile to save him from a pure power gaming standpoint. Roleplaying wise, Garrus is one of the best characters in the entire series IMO so I would save him every time.
Every squadmate that was introduced in Mass Effect 2 is relegated to a minor cameo in Mass Effect 3 so you can let them live and die at your own discretion. The one exception is Mordin but the NPC that replaces him is actually interesting on his own. If Thane died in Mass Effect 2, you'll be saved from watching one of the most illogical cut scene (next to the ending) in Mass Effect 3.
You can still get Zaeed loyalty AND save the workers. But you need good Paragon points so you can tell him to shut the fuck up and deal with it.
edit: hours late. I'm stupid.

What cutscene replaces that one you're talking about? The one with Thane.
An illogical cutscene with Kirahhe if you saved him.

Save all teams mates at all cost,even the dlc squde mates n ppl(project overload for exmaple) add to your readiness score in me3.
some teammates allow you make choices in the story,which is other wise blocked and can cause a huge damage to your rediness score.
won't spoil who does what but ya keep them alive.
you can gain both miranda's n jack's loyalty .
chk gamefaq or ign walkthru to find out the steps that need to be done.
i think u need to do miranda's loyalty first,then jacks and then break thier fight using a trigger event.

Guys, a question for the Xbox360 version.
Is there any *way* of erasing list of imported characters from the mass effect importer? For example ME2 importers recognizes a bunch of characters I don't intend to play anymore when scanning for imports from ME1. I want to delete them to avoid cluttering.
Deleting the files from HDD does not help.

How to Erase ME1 Career Completion Saves (XBox 360)
Need to get around to doing that myself, actually. >_>
So, I decided to try out Shepard as a Vanguard. Didn't like it as much as everybody else in ME2, but ME3's multiplayer made me warm up to it quite a bit. All the biotic explosions you can zip around the battlefield detonating with Charge 'n Nova... It's delicious~
Extra awesome with Javik's Dark Channel. Detonate the first guy with Charge, the next guy the effect transfers too with Nova... XD
Edited an imported save to switch my Virmire survivor to Kaidenwho has been as dull as a 2x4 thus farand my romantic interest to Liara. Just wanted to see what Kaiden had to offer, and unlock his bonus powers the normal way.

I remember reading in a thread (not sure if it was this ME3 one or another one) about some people complaining that the game (360 version) would freeze at the title screen while the game was going the various checks (Save game, download content, etc.) was there ever a resolution or explanation as to what was causing it.
As just last night my game is now experiencing this issue as well.
Mind you the system is not frozen, guide button works etc. But the game hangs at "Checking dowladable content", the various options like resume game, load ect. are visibile but you cannon select them or move the slection line down.
Already cleared the cache, but had no effect...

Yeah. Just keep that galactic readiness at 100% and you'll be fine.
You'll weep bitter tears of blood, but you'll be fine.

Just finished the Missing Scouts mission. :0
Wasn't feeling it before, but now the game just got gud. Hopefully the missions just get better.
Loved the whole vibe of the mission and I *almost* let some big man tears loose when I thought Grunt was a goner.

Furhter info regarding my ME3 game issue:
If i use a Non-Live gamer tag/profile... there is no problem
If i Unhook my 360 from the internet and sign in with my Live profile.... there is no problem.
Turned the in game setting to no auto login but had no effect.
I went to the bioware baords.. and people were experienceing "Black sreeen" and "Unable to login to EA server" errors... but only say a few with the issue i had...
Odd really

The issue most people had was different, the xbox actually hard locked and even the guide didn't work.
Do you have the N7 Warfare pack DLC by any chance?

No i don't, I never activated the games online pass with Origin/EA, just playing single player.
I have the "From Ashes" DLC, and a Gun DLC bonus item
(the 4mb title update etc.)

Is the me2 save from a different 360? I heard that if its different it won't be compatible.

Your save file could be corrupt. I've had a few corrupt saves too, but nothing that prevented importing. You could try creating a new save file at another point or beating the game again at the save point before the final mission and seeing if that works.
Finally beat ME1, starting ME2 now. I kinda miss the Mako sections and the exploring the environments. Sure the Mako controlled like shit and the bases were repetitive, but some of the planets were downright pretty and they really gave you an alone, desolate feel. The weapon customization was cool as well. ME2 feels a lot more straight forward. I don't get that same space exploration, role playing feeling.

I completed ME2 a while ago, but I never played through any of the DLC. Since then I purchased the DLC during various half price sales and I'm currently playing through the extra content prior to starting ME3. Do I have to play through the collector mission again to get credit for the choices I make during the DLC missions or will ME3 just grab all the info from my most recent saves?
Arjen
Member
If you do the DLC with a character who did the collector mission already, you can do al the dlc after the endgame and ME3 wil recognize the choices you made in them if you import the last save.
Awesome. Thanks!

So I've just finished my ME 1 run, and have a quick question about the save. I assumed you'd have a "game complete" save, but my save is just before the final fight. All decisions have been made by that point, but I skipped the credits and want to make sure I didn't skip the final save too. I just want to make sure that ME 2 will recognise the save. So, before I delete the install, is my save the way it should be?
Just beat it. I absolutely loved it. Everything ME2 should have been. In fact, ME3 basically finished the job of pushing that one six feet under into a grave of irrelevancy. And I didn't have a problem with the much maligned ending. I chose the Anderson influenced ending. ME1 is still by far the king though.

Hey guys, quick question....
I assaulted the illusive man's base, and my EMR was over 5000.
got the Master & Commander achievement.
Then I didn't play for over a week.
So, since my readiness dropped significantly, it's now barely over 4000. Ugh. Sucks. I didn't think of that.
So now I'm on the final mission (just finished illusive man's base). Do I need to seriously increase my readiness to get EMR over 5000 again? Or am I good/locked into the best ending since I had over 5000 before I started the illusive man?
How annoying. Not sure how this works.

if your EMS is 4k + u r good to go.
also remember 1 thing.if u plan to stay away from mp for sometime.
just start me3 in offline mode with no net connection,you galatic rediness will remain constant,it is only updated if you go online.
John Harker

oh I thought you had to be over 5000 to get the perfect ending?
I just wasnt sure when that score "mattered" or locked in you, before you assault IM base or after
It's important to note that having over 4000 EMS is only required for ONE of the ending, and it only adds one extra ~15 seconds scene. I don't think its really worth it and you have to know which ending to pick before that if you're even interested in seeing it, you could end up picking an ending where 4000 EMS is not even required without knowing it.
It's not bad until you actually realize how much they fucked up.
