Gibbed's save file editor works for 360 files too, though the file conversion seems to cause some mild data corruption in some spots so you mgiht have to reset certain flags. Still, I enjoy all the games in the series, so I should be able to play through each of them at least a couple of more times apiece. More than that for ME3, obviously.

From what I've seen, most of the changes aren't really cosmetic. If Mordin dies in ME2, the guy who stands in for him in ME3 isn't much like him at all. He's.... really enthusiastic about krogan breeding, though.

I assume you own the game on PC yourself, then?

Yes'ir! I considered...adding...the already-on-disc Prothean to my team, even without playing through his DLC mission, but ultimately refrained. I wonder if I missed anything big? Zaaed and Kasumi weren't exactly Earth-shaking in ME2, but then again neither one would play as big a role in the lore.

He is very possibly the best squad member in series history, in many ways.

So many missions play out differently with him there. The perspective he offers is staggering. Bringing him to Thessia should be a requirement for everyone with access to him, but he offers a fresh take on every isngle mission you bring him on.

Honestly the game might be worth replaying just for the way all of the squadmates interact with each other in different missions.

That part I generally enjoyed. Vega tended to be bland on the parts where I brought him (third-most-boring in the series, behind Kaidan and Jacob), but even he was entertaining when he was shooting the shit with the other squadmates. I'm glad Bioware finally kicked the characters out of their rooms. And Garrus continued to be in top form. All those scenes where he's Shepard's bro? Completely accurate, man.

Has anyone gotten the Victory or Commendation pack for participating in the weekend Goliath challenge? I could have sworn Bioware said they would release the packs today.

yeah theres a victory pack. You have to go to the store and its free. I don't really remember what I got though XD. There's also a special "veteren's pack." that is like a better version than a veteran pack, but 33,000 credits.

I wonder if they're going to make more modes with DLC, like PvP modes, or different.

They should be there by now - the last ones should have been sent out at 9PM PST. Look in the Store in the multiplayer menu, they'll be available for free.

My relationship with fowl is strictly culinary. But I know why you're asking. It was certainly an amusing surprise to see that. Garrus Vakarian: badass, ladykiller.

My favorite Tali moment though is definitely the optional 'scene' she has near the end of the game. "It's an emergency. Induction. Port."

There is an expansion on the scene you mentioned if you have the DLC crewmate. It is.... great.

I did, and they sucked big time. 

From the Victory pack I got 3 Cobra Missiles, 3 First Aid kits, a Shotgun Barrel V and a M-13 Raptor IV
From the Commendation pack I got a 5 Cobra Missiles, 1 Reset Power and 1 N7 Hurricane I 

I was dissapointed, to say the least.

The Hurricane is fantastic. Come on, give it a go. It has the best sound effect of any gun in the game.
