Well Wrex killed Harkin in my playthrough so i didn't talk to him, but if you punch the reporter in the first two games she does dodge the punch in game 3, so I guess she learns! :) Oh and in episode 15 of my series Scumbag really lives up to her name. LOL! :)

yeah her scares don't really start to show up until the next couple of episode when I get enough points. Glad you enjoyed the vid, I enjoyed making it. I should have four new episode posted by Wednesday, that when she really starts to earn her name. The mods do make the game a lot more fun :)

Well if you want to see what I ended up doing in the end, take a look at this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Em5oJ_C-TK0&t=315s I sadly wasn't able to make it work with the save editor, have no idea what is going on, but I made it work for me in that Shepard still has a ton of renegade scares to help make her ugly and my in game explanation for why Shepard looks so different in game 3 is that she spent all her money on plastic surgery:) Well thanks for your help, and have a happy new year!

I will give that a try thanks, but i will keep the original save file just in case. Thanks for the idea and Merry Christmas!

Thanks for your help, thanks to thinking about some of the things you said I had an idea and got the game working am now two hours into a new playthrough of Mass Effect 3, and my first as renegade Femshep. I just found out that the trouble I was having with Femshep for over a week was because I used a custom Femshep, any time I change anything with her, even if it is just hair colour from the default the game would not let me load a saved game, but once I took the same files and changed them to the default Femshep, then all of the sudden they worked perfectly, so a week of grief and having to use a friend's internet to redownload all the DLC, and what I am left with is having to use a Shepard who looks completely different from The Shepard I spent 40 minutes creating in game 1 and imported fine into game 2, and even if I started from scratch on game 3, if I changed anything from default I got the game problem, so it was not the files I was importing, since they all worked fine once I switched her to default, this is from the same publisher who made The Sims, how can changing the hair style cause so many problems? I think EA rushed this game out the door without running a single bug test. Well that is what I get for buying a game from them, I should have known what I was in for, so this one is on me, buyer beware. So yeah the PC is my system of choice for playing Mass Effect because of the keyboard and mouse unless I want to play as Femshep. I think if I ever do that again I will be getting a copy of the series for the 360 and hope the game doesn't have the same glitch in that version. I am just glad the nightmare is over, but this is going to make my Let's play come off as a little strange, still I guess I could add a caption saying my evil Shepard was so vein that instead of preparing for the invasion between games, she got plastic surgery to make herself look more pretty, still I hate losing the ugly face I worked so hard on, still it is a small price to pay for a working game, so over all I am happy with the outcome.

I will try flipping the gender because I discovered the games works fine when playing as male shepard. I am guessing Bioware is just a completely sexist company and they decided to punish anyone who tried to play as Femshep by making it impossible to save, talk about a bunch of jerks. I am looking into hacks to get passed this as search on google seems to point to this being a default setting on the PC version of Mass Effect 3. It seems the game''s director didn't want Femshep in the series at all so a bug was put in to punish anyone who played as her. Bioware is clearly an evil sexist company and I will never play any of their or Ea's games after they pulled this stunt.

Thanks I will give getting a whole new copy a shot as I have reinstalled the game once already and that did not help at all. If that doesn't work I guess I will have to try getting a new hard drive and installing the game there since that is the only way to be sure the install is completely clean. I''ll let you know if any of your ideas work. Thank you and merry christmas.

Okay has anyone else run into this glitch on the PC version of Mass Effect 3, every time I start a new game it starts up fine but then when I save and have to reload the game because I died or I had to leave it be for a while, the loading screen just gets stuck. I have been trying to solve this problem for days with no luck. I have gotten rid of all my mods, I have reinstalled the game, I have done everything thing I can think of but I can't finish my renegade femshep playthrough because the game will not let me load a save, it just loops on the loading screen no matter what I do. Now it will load my older saves just fine, but I keep starting new files and every time I die or have to do something else on my computer, I have to restart the game. I am guessing from now on the only way I can play Mass Effect 3 from now on is to play it in one long forty hour unbroken session without dying once. EA's tech support has been unhelpful, of course, just telling me to reinstall the game after I told them I already did that and then telling me just to buy an XBox One and download the series on that system, which I can't do because of my internet and I lack the funds. If anyone has run into this problem of the looping loading game screen and knows I fix for it I would be grateful for the help, thanks and Merry Christmas. If this doesn't have a fix I am just going to toss game in the trash and pretend the series ended with Mass Effect 2, is there any sort of mod out there for Mass Effect 2 that gets rid of the last cut scene where you see the Reapers coming to the galaxy at the end of Mass Effect 2, because without that shot Mass Effect 2 could work as the end of the series, the Reapers need the Citadel to get into our Galaxy in Mass Effect 1, Shepard stops them, so in 2 they make their last ditch effort using their slaves but Shepard kills them all, so they are trapped in dark space for the rest of time with no way back to the galaxy. I am can tell you one thing after running into game breaking bug after game breaking bug in Mass Effect 3 there is no way I am risking one cent of my money on the next game, since there is no reason for me to believe the think will ever start and EA never patches bugs in their games. Sorry if this turned into a rant but after almost a week of this I am hopping mad and had to vent and this page is the only place I have that will understand that I am ranting because I love the whole series so now not being allowed to play it is just frustrating. i wanted to see how playing renegade turned out but that is off the table since I can never start a new game ever again. If you do know of a fix please help me. Thank you for your time and putting up with my venting, and sorry if it upset you, but even a double dose of my panic attack meds were not calming me down, at some point I just had to let it out somewhere. Thank you for putting up with this and Merry Christmas.

@DrCrowTGamer15; There's no need to be a "Premium Member" to upload (or download) anything here on the Nexus. Ever. Membership is totally free. The only differences with paid membership are: ( a ) ad-free, ( b ) faster d/l speeds possible (no cap), and ( c ) access to the "Supporter's Image Share". As a Supporter, (which I see you are, and which is automatic and lifetime after having been a paid member for any period of time) you get ( a ) and ( c ) anyway, and I *think* you get ( b ) as well. :thumbsup: Okay thanks, I like to support the site so I will be paying again once I finish switching and get my new debit card so I have paypal set up again, but that is good to know.

Well here it is. http://www.nexusmods.com/masseffect3/mods/450/?tab=1&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Fmasseffect3%2Fajax%2Fmoddescription%2F%3Fid%3D450%26preview%3D&pUp=1 We had to use the original painting version because the person who drew that was the one we could get a hold of to ask if it was okay, but it's the same design and I still think it looks really good, hope you enjoy it.

Good News! I got a PM and as long as we give the husband and wife team who made this photo credit and send them a link to the mod they are fine with us using the photo as a mod, so we are good to go. I had a bit of fun figuring out how to replace the default photo with this one using texmod on my own, I don't know how to make that a .mod file though and I am switching bank accounts so it will be a month or two before I can start paying for membership again so i can't upload at the moment. Still this is good news and I can tell you it looks great in game.

Oh i had not thought of that, I will try and get in touch with the person and get permission. Thanks a bunch! By the way I am sorry I didn't reply sooner but for a while I have been deal with a virus on my computer and I only just got in under control, I have not dared to go online while dealing with this thing and it messed up a bunch of stuff on my PC so this is the first chance I have had to reply to this thread. Thanks again, if I can get permission that was a huge help, even if I can't it was very nice of you to make this for me.

Okay, well I wanted to swap out the photo in ME3 with the one above but all the instructions I have found assume the user has photoshop and not GIMP and I can't afford a copy of photoshop right now so I was hoping that someone with a copy of photoshop would be willing to do the work for me of replacing the photo and releasing it as a mod, it has been done before, just not with a version of Tali I felt looked alien enough. I didn't know about the money thing. I will remove the offer from my post. I figured since there is a donate button on every mod there was nothing wrong with it, thanks for the heads up. Sorry if my post was a little confusing, hope this clears things up.

Here is the photo I would like used.

It took me a while but that did help. Also i found that if you launch the game in offline mode and then connect to the internet just before starting a new game it will let the DLC work without updating origin. Thanks again for your help.

First off I have been trying to do this myself but since I can afford a copy of Photoshop right now and Gimp doesn't seem to be working I can't seem to figure out how to change the photo. Second I know there are a couple of mods that already do this but none of them use my favorite version of Tali's face and i would really like that to be the version I see in the photo in my game. I know there must be a lot of requests from people who don't know much about modding for stuff like this but if anyone could help I would be very grateful. I would just like to say you all do great work and have added a lot of replay value to my favorite gaming series of all time, thank you for your time. I will try to upload the file I want used but my internet coonection may time out so it may be a day or two before I can do that. If you can do this just reply to this thread and let me know. Again thank you for your time.

I bought Mass effect 3 on release day and I also bought all the DLC and in the past Origin has never given me any real trouble except for a two week period when EA used it to lock me out of my game. Now I know this is a long post so I will just come straight out and ask, is there any way to bypass Origin and launch this game so DLC will work with it? I have been looking around the web for almost two weeks now and can't find a way. I am not asking this so I can play a pirated copy or anything like that, I don't approve of that sort of thing, I am only asking because Origin is locking me out of the game that with DLC I paid around $150 for. If you are interested let me explain how Origin is doing this and why I need a bypass. You see I live out in the country and moving is not an option also I could only afford a desktop computer after a couple of years of saving so taking my computer into the local library or other place with Wifi is not an option, for the past 14 the highspeed lines have been just one mile down the road and satilite based internet is something we have tried but it cost way too much and it was knocked out every time the wind picked up, not to mention the company we tried(Hughesnet)knocked our speed down to 1kps every time we used more then one hundred megabytes of data a day. So the only real option for internet is dial up, now that works fine most of the time as long as you are willing to wait for long downloads to complete and I will give EA credit for this, Origin has never given me any real trouble before. As long as I am willing to take two or three months to download a file, it has always let me buy new games and DLC and download and register them, and it always detects my internet connection. Except for this one thing, Origin now needs to update it's self before it will let me play any of the games I have bought and it will not let me play my disc based version of Mass Effect 3 with any of the DLC until I update it. This means that a good chunck of the game is missing and no HEMOD. Now the update is only 91MBs in size so it is hardly the largest thing I have ever downloaded and I am willing to wait but I have been trying for almost two weeks and every single time the updater(and this update has to be downloaded through the updater, I tried finding the whole of this update elsewhere online so I could download it with download them all, but no such luck, the only downloads online are the base program that needs to be updated)will either not see my internet connection at all or download the first 5MBs or so and then tell me that my connection is too slow and give up. I have tried everything to get this working but since playing single player with DLC or playing any game I downloaded requires being online the first time you start a new game so it can check to make sure I am using a copy of the game I paid for, I am stuck. Sorry this post is so long winded but I wanted to explain in detail what the situation was so people wouldn't give me advice I have already found online. If you know of a way to get past origin in order to launch Mass Effect 3 and have the DLC work, I would grateful for the help, because so far I have come up with a big fat goose egg in my search. Thank you for your time.

Did the supreme court rule way back in the day that gamers have the right to mod their games for their own use? I think the case involved Nintendo suing the makers of Game Genie, if so, how does EA have a leg to stand on with this? It's already been decided. Then again I guess when you are as big as EA you can do whatever you want and the law doesn't apply to you. I bet the CEO of EA games could run into a second grade class room and shoot every child in the class and not only would he not be charged with a crime, but he would be given a billion dollar reward by the government for being so brave. This country is run by the rich for the rich and there is no real rule of law and no rich person ever gets charged with any crime. The rest of us get the book thrown at us if we break one letter of the law, but there is no law for companies like EA, and they don't have to respect anyone's basic rights. I am so sick of this broken, garbage pile of a system we live under. It is rotten to the core.
