After almost finishing act 1, I've got to say my only complain with the game so far is the bugged minor quests in the Citadel. Some are supposed to give out War Assets and credits and only give out exp and some don't trigger at all (Citadel: Biotic Amp Interfaces and Citadel: Krogan Dying Message) when they should.

Sadly the Journal is next to useless, try the map there might be something marked on it.

Go ahead and finish Act 1, it's fantastic. Act 2 is similarly phenomenal.

I enjoyed Act 1 a lot, especially the first priority mission.

Oh and the bomb mission on Tuchanka = Epic fight on Insanity. I was soooooooooooo tempted on using the Hydra on that Atlas, but I pulled through without it .  And the mission with the Rachni? Pretty darn wicked a la 300 fight scene with Grunt, but even better to see he survived that xD. Frigging Rachni's, they never learn do they? Oh well, their hive mind status does make them prime candidates for the reapers, so that should have been expected

I found the recepients for both quests mostly because I usually go to the Citadel every time between Priority missions and always try to complete every mission possible (sadly I still don't know where the F am I going to find a Heating Unit Stabilizer, I went to every system available and scanned every asset available).

But I agree. They screwed up the Journal badly. Mixing primary with secondary missions is one thing, but to make it useless as it is? Bad beta testing went there.

ME 3 is a good game, it is not a perfect game and certainly not deserving of the scores some reviewers are giving it. It has quite a few flaws, some of them could have been easily corrected. The cynic in me is saying they focused too much on the multiplayer and not enough on the singleplayer.

For most people its that they spent 100s of hours, trying out different playthroughs and this is how it ends. And that is whats upsetting them

I know. Me and the wife between us have put.... God, 600-800 hours into the two Mass Effect games. Maybe more, it's hard to say.

I'm going to keep playing this one, but it's not as good as I wanted. It's not the perfect end.

You know what I thought, after ME2 ended? I thought we'd have to destroy the Citadel to prevent the Reapers from arriving, since they were in Dark Space. I would have been fine with that.

Some quest items are only found during missions. If you miss them during the mission, they will appear on your Spectre Terminal.

My Spectre Terminal is clear, except for the things I've already authorized, so it must not be on a mission I've done. I'm just afraid to miss anything given that some sidequests are timed  

By the way, the Krogan female? Best. Character. On. ME3. So. Far.

The Spectre Acquisitions terminal, I apologize for being unclear.

I found something about Heating Unit Stabilizer

First option: Acquire them from the N7: Cerberus Fighter Base mission.
Second option: Purchase them from Spectre terminal on the 2nd floor of the Citadel for ~9000 credits.

 

Apparently someone has leaked DLC that are to released. Picture. Some spoilers in there. Some of it looks like no brainers, but I say there is high chance its fake.

The "Rescue DLC" doesn't make any sense unless there's an ending where Shepard doesn't bite it.

Yes, I was talking about that one as well, only available on the Citadel Embassies  

@Rhonin - Thanks, haven't done the cerberus fighter base mission, so i'm still probably getting it. Odd that this mission can only be done after act 1, it seems some time limits are bigger than I thought.
