Quickdraw Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 When will you make an achievement guide? I can't look over these achievements as they reveal spoilers in the game, but I would like to know how to plan my playthrough with ME3 (i.e. I don't want to be forces to replay the game a third time because I forgot to go over something, collect something, or talk to someone). only way to be certain is by the offical guide or wait a week for someone to sort it out. alot of effort goes into guides just gotta give people the time to work without hassle and it'll appear.

Im going to go out on a limb and say the achievement list isn't much of a spoiler at all. I didn't want to be spoiled either, so I can skimmed through the list first with one eye open before really looking at it. Just my opinion. And after looking at the achievement list, it doesn't look like anything can really be missed by playing in a certain order. Definitely not like it was in ME1! _____________________ Anyway - I'm pretty happy with the achievements, particularly the option for gaining some either through MP or SP. It would be nice to have some more challenging ones, but they kept a fair amount of grinding chievos in there and from the looks of it there are at least a couple of toughies. Pretty similar to ME2 in a lot of ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joustery Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I changed my difficulty in the options menu as soon as I had control of Sheperd. I didn't change it in the menu... Is this going to mess up my chance of getting the achievement or am I still ok. By the way, I know this is probably a stupid question to ask sense the game just came out, but I really don't want to have to start all over... Thanks in advance!

You have until you leave Earth in the beginning. Since you only start off with a pistol and hardly any ammo, they decided to let us play on any difficulty until that part is over.

Tyger7 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 This is confirmed. If you choose story mode you can't change the difficulty to insanity. I'm going to un-confirm this statement. I started a new game on story mode and right when I could I checked the options. It allowed me to throw it back on the other difficulties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rascalov Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Does anyone have any info on what you have to do to unlock the Master and Commander achievement? I went to the final battle with 100% galactic readiness and completed the game, but the achievement didn't unlock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spug Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I guess there's no point in playing as a non-biotic in this game, achievement-wise; there are no weapon specific achievements or anything, just a bunch of biotic-specific ones. How come the day one DLC only has 50G though? I thought they were allowed to put 200G in all paid DLC and 0G in free ones, no middle ground?

It allowed me to throw it back on the other difficulties. True, you can change the difficulty after the game starts, however, it also puts you back on standard mode when you do that. I think he meant that you can't change to insanity and also stay on story mode at the same time. Does anyone here know how to get the achievements for the "From Ashes" DLC? I don't want to accidentally miss them when doing the quest. One of them is story related and unmissable. The other only requires reading a few data pads that are in the modular housing areas. They are VERY easy to spot. Just make sure you look around all of the units before leaving the planet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason0626 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 does anyone know if the Overload x shields has to be done by shepard or can it be by one of the crew members you control? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuSt BLaZe Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 does anyone know if the Overload x shields has to be done by shepard or can it be by one of the crew members you control? Has to be done by YOU. If you don't want to use a class with this power in SP, simply go to MP choose one from there and you will have the 100 overloads in no time. Took me 2-3h max.

waylund Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Does anyone have any info on what you have to do to unlock the Master and Commander achievement? I went to the final battle with 100% galactic readiness and completed the game, but the achievement didn't unlock. I'm only a portion of the way through the game, so this is speculation, but if you go to the war room and check the computer, it shows your total battle value or whatever they call it. It then gives you a portion of your battle value based on your % galactic readiness. So I think there are 2 parts to this. You want your readiness as high as you can, but you also want to do the quests to get your value up as far as possible. Hope that's helpful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules the great Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Someone tell me what the hell did we learn from FACT FINDER!!?!?!?!? An enemies monstrous origin?? What enemy were they talking about? I just remember killing a bunch of mutated Ardat Yakshi turned Banshee. Is this the enemy? If so, thats lame. Why wont they explain why the Reapers look like cuttlefish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicken10der Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 'Master and Commander' has no defined number yet (why it's not in the achievement description itself is beyond me), but it is based on the Effective Military Strength (total x readiness). The number seems to be somewhere around 3500-4000, and the achievement will unlock when you press A to land at the Illusive Man's base. I ended with 3328 after doing every mission and planet scan and didn't get it. There is one report of someone getting it without playing any MP (thus a readiness of 50%) and that was only with never making any 'kill' decisions/actions throughout all 3 games, including DLC for all 3 games as well (for example, not killing the villain from the ME1 'Bring Down the Sky' DLC is the only way to get the Batarian fleet as a war asset in ME3, and you have to save the Rachni queen in ME1 to get their full war asset as well) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, I haven't seen people with more than ~3500 EMS at the end of the game. I had 3503 and didn't get the achievement until I played some multiplayer.

Adam Miller Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Quick romance question. If i didn't visit Ashley first before going to the council but did it straight after, have i missed my chance? I romanced her in ME1 and Miranda in ME2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'd also say MP is the fastet way so far. After my first run (Normal) and now on my second run (Insanity - half way through) I managed to get 4200 Kills.
