Ultimate_Kardas

~U_K~

Ya, I saw the video. Even more stoked than I was before.I hope you can customize your powers as well. I originally wanted to be a turian infiltrator, but they don't have that (I don't care if you can be a turian sentinel with the widow, it's just not the same), so instead I was planning on being a quarian infiltrator, but I'm not sure if they're gonna have male quarians which is a really big downer for me since I want to be like Kal'Reegar, so because of this I'll probably end up being a salarian since playing on Virmire again made me remember how cool they are.Also, "The art of mass effect" has been leaked online and reportedly has some big spoilers in it, so I wouldn't recommend looking for it. I did, however, manage to obtain the designs of the N7 Edition DLC Character and spoiler character.SQUADMATE SPOILERS:

And remember guys, even though these aren't story spoilers, please talk about them in spoilers. EDIT: How did I not notice somebody had already posted this T_T~U_K~

Did anybody else watch the latest gametrailers episode? It had a huge segment and single player and multiplayer and I am now even more excited for this game. The episode is online if anybody wants to watch it.Here are some screen shots from the episode (I would consider these minor spoilers, but I know some people don't want to know anything at all, so I put them in spoiler tags):

Also, Freddie Prince Jr. is the voice of Vega.~U_K~

Yeah, I agree that the Flood is a "different" enemy. They aren't necessarily evil themselves as they are a perceived evil by Humanity and the Covenant. Their sole nature is to spread their infection, which is naturally devastating for any species out there. Just like the actions of a parasite, the Flood act on instinct and the need for survival.I also agree with the statement about the Prophets. They are a very deceptive, manipulative, and sinister group. They are truly evil by nature, unlike the Flood.

Guys, the Flood is not some poor misunderstood parasite. It's well aware of what it's doing: It's operating on it's Geas to consume those deemed unworthy and to test others

The FLOOD are precursor spawn. It's a bit unclear, but it appears the flood's main purpose is to create new precursors from mature graveminds. Still not totally known if the Primordial one is indeed a precursor, or a twisted on infected by the flood, but it appears the flood are the true "Mantle"... The Prisoner, Primordial, states that Precursors and the Flood are the same. *On that note, however, there is evidence he might be lying, as referenced in Cryptum and his referencing of Humanities creators in third person and not referencing himself*Oh, and there's no cure for the flood. The Ancient human cure did not exist. Rather, the flood allowed the humans to think they were defeated... and they chose not to infect them after passing some precursor test on unity and sacrifice.Also, the Forerunner Precursor war appears to have occurred when the precursors decided the forerunners weren't worthy of the mantle and tried to dispose of them. However, the Forerunners caught wind of this and stopped most of them... Still, some precursors apparently escaped, explaining the origin of the mysterious ships of powder... when the precursors die, it seems they turn into powder.In the words of the Primordium Gravemind.... "Suffering is sweetness". if you don't think a creature that enjoys the suffering of others is evil...well....I'm sorry. It doesn't believe it's saving us...rather, just bringing "Unity and Peace". Perhaps, but the only peace it wants is the lack of competition. It was really sad to read about the other gravemind made of Forerunners and the way they were forced to suffer. That, and how the Primordial used humans in such a cruel manner. Ironic he declared the Humans the true Inheritors.

THE FLOOD are not really a force of nature. I'm glad they finally explain it's purpose... it was too efficient to be a natural predator.*Goes back to reading Primordium*Edit: Looks like the Precursor's plan was revealed... but it leaves so many questions. But one comment suggests that something the precursors set in motion will occur in "101,000 years". IE: Halo 4 era? (2553 should be close to that).Also, It looks like Halo Array 07 could be a future site of a game.

So, does anybody here have a used copy of Mass effect 2 and want a Cerberus online pass? Finally bought the game since we were robbed, but in 3 days, we'll be able to transfer our licences to the new xbox so we can re-download everything, but now we've got an extra code that we don't need.~U_K~

I honestly didn't suspect it, but I thought they were going to release the femshep trailer instead.Though it's funny, cuz out of all the trailers, that one was my favorite. The VGAs are just so terrible.HAHAHA LOOK, THEY'RE GETTING TEA-BAGGED, THIS IS HILARIOUS!~U_K~

I did it. I beat CEA on legendary. I wish I could say I beat it without using the bandanna skull, but at least I got up to the Library without using it. And except for 343 Guilty Spark and the Libarary, I did it all solo. Also, I thought the 11th terminal was awesome.In conclusion, the library makes me cry.~U_K~

Augh, so much I've missed. Well, to top things off, Hircine is my favorite god, but not in Skyrim. He was pretty boring in Skyrim.In all honestly, I've grown pretty bored of my first character. I'm so powerful, nothing is a challenge anymore, but I don't want to make a new character until I've gotten all the achievements, but that seems almost impossible since two Daedric quests are glitched for me, and also the last Imperial quest to attack Windhelm.I've got my next character all planned out though. A female High Elf who is skilled with all schools of magic, but also has a shield.Also, apparently you can hit a butterfly in mid-air with your weapon, and then pick up both wings as they fall to the ground. I accidently did thiswhile killing some mudcrabs, and when I looked down to pick them up, I realized I was standing on the carcass of a giant mudcrab that was half hidden in the ground. It was amazing.Also, I recommend going to Frostflow Lighthouse between Winterhold and Dawnstar. You get a miscellaneous quest once you enter, but it's really cool. My favorite miscellaneous quest in the game.~U_K~

Are there any good ways to increase smithing quickly, other than mass producing leather helmets and stuff? My smithing is only 33, and I would dearly love to have it higher...

So I've learned 20 shouts (and I assume that's all of them, haven't learned anything new in a long while and got an achievement after 20) but I'm still missing a couple words to complete the shouts I have. I've been all over the place, where are they? The Greybeards aren't sensing any, in particular I'd love to get that last word for Storm Call.

Thanks for the tip Takatu. Though it wasn't really that hard. Quite easy for me actually. I guess I'm just lucky I was heading there anyway. Also, so glad I found all 30 crimson nirnroot down there in one go. I had found 28 and was giving up and heading towards the main quest objective, but I found the last two on my way there, right near the exit.Also, I have 100 level speechcraft, smithing, sneak, and conjuration. I bought the top level spells for conjuration, but in terms of magicka, I can only afford the flame thrall, even with the two top perks. Though having two permanent flame atronachs is pretty awesome. 9 more magicka and I'll be able to have dead thrall, and have the body of my choosing with me forever. So everywhere I go I can have so many strange things with me like frost trolls or sabre tooth tigers..~U_K~

Actually, Ultimate_Kardas, it is your Oblivion char. He said he was "around at the time" when the Oblivion Crisis struck.

It is implied that your character from Oblivion turned into the Sheogorath you meet in Skyrim. He does mention details about things like the Oblivion Crisis that he couldn't have known unless he was there as the Champion of Cyrodiil.

Also. One detail. The Empire and the Thalmor are simply physically wrong about Talos. Talos is a god, established fact: a manifestation of Talos appears in Morrowind.-Dovydas

Well, I got stuck on the mainquest with the very bad glitch for the (Spoilers ahead) Jagged Crown/Seasons Unending, that makes it impossible to finish either quest, and going to Korvanjund does nothing, because I can't beat it because a Dragon spawns and lands in Korvanjund, and after killing it, I can't move on due to the skeleton blocking the path. And somehow I can't kill the Bandit Chief.Also, have any of you discovered the cheap way to level up smithing and get Dragon Armor fast? You just make Iron Daggers and Leather Bracers over and over. Then enchant them and sell them back for more money. And my friend found this out, then I saw the video about doing this. Ironic.

I did Sheogorath's quest yesterday! It was weird thinking that my character from Oblivion (who saved everything he could, was Divine Crusader, killed Lucien Lachance when he tried to talk me, and rescued Cyrodiil and the Shivering Isles countless times) has become completely bonkers. Not to mention the whole "being inside the mind of a homicidal dead monarch" thing. Although I did enjoy the surprise of getting the Wabbajack again.

I joined the Imperials because the Stormcloaks are really racist, and even though the Thalmor are still racist, You have to admit that they dress really cool.Also, one random Thalmor asked me to find evidence of a Talos worshiper and once I did, he was so nice to me.My thoughts on Talos are mixed, so :/Also, I killed a sleeping blood dragon with one hit. I snuck up on him and did 12 times sneak damage with my daedric sword. Though I saved before that and jumped on top of him.~U_K~

It's funny, I thought dragons have become very, especially since I'm level 36 in my full daedric and with two daedric swords. I was thinking of turning up the difficulty.Until I faced an ancient dragon. (playing on default difficulty btw)So I'm walking along, on my way to a part of the main quest, when suddenly this orangeish coloured ancient dragon slams down in front of me, inches from my face. I pause and save thinking "Just in case", and when I unpause, the dragon instantly blows a jet of fire at me. My health goes down to nothing in about 2 seconds. I pause just before I die and take as many healing potions as I can. I run for cover behind a small cottage and summon a flame atronach to distract him. The one guard near the house barely does any damage and is killed almost instantly. The owner of the house is just running away screaming. The dragon downs my companion with one attack even though I had him outfitted with full dragon bone. The dragon's fire does only moderate damage to the fire atronach, so it lands and one hit kills my atronach. Meanwhile I've been firing as many arrows as possible out of my daedric bow, but the dragon hasn't even lost an eighth of its health. It lands again and I think, "I'm way more powerful with my swords anyway", and I run up to it. He shoots me with flame as I run towards him, and yet again I have to scramble and heal with potions. I attack him thanks to his brief pause after his fire attack and I get his health down to 3 quarters with as many attacks as I can get in, and with one bite he gets my health half down, and even though I still have half my health he just doesn't care and insta-kills me with a shake of his head.I repeated this process about 5 times, some where I died right away, some where it took even longer until I died. On my 6th try, I finally beat him using the become ethereal shout every time he blows fire, attack once, and then booking it behind the cabin before he can attack me. That try alone took about 30 minutes. Also, if you give your companion spell tomes, they'll learn the spell.~U_K~

The trailing flames is the new overshield effect.~U_K~

I finally did it. I made a full set of daedric armor, plus two swords, a bow, and a shield for Derkeethus. All of them except for the shield are legendary status. It's really funny because after fast traveling to goldbloom mine so I could mine all the necessary ebony, a frost dragon attacked the orc village. Earlier on, I had found the foremaster's fingers for them which granted a 12% bonus to smithing. I really wanted to keep them, but I needed to hand them in to get into the village. Anyway, I kill the dragon and see that it was able to kill one orc woman. I search her body and lo and behold she had the foremaster's fingers. So I took those, and when I had all the necessary ingredients, I took 3 smithing potions which all raised my skill 12% or 10% for 60 seconds, and I now had a total of about 46% better smithing stacked on to my already high 91 skill. So anyway, now I have really good armor. The helmet alone has an armor rating of 46. I can't remember the others, but I don't care. I don't think I'll ever wear any other armor.~U_K~

Apparently companions don't die except for to instances. Against most enemy attacks, they get weakened to the ground and the enemy turns its focus on you. But if they get hit again while they recover, they die. Or if you hit them, they skip the recover stuff and die then and there. Or at least that's what I was told.Speaking of Lydia, is it not possible to marry her? I talked to the priest and I'm wearing the Amulet of Mara, but she won't say anything about it.

Just got married and moved into Proudspire manner (Solitude house) with my Argonian wife, Shahvee. The weird thing is, when I tried looking for her, instead of finding her sleeping in the master bedroom, she was sleeping on some rags in the basement.ಠ_ಠAlso, just switched Lydia for Derkeethus, an Argonian companion. The best part is, for some reason he won't die. I've had to reload so many times because I accident;y hit Lydia with my fire breath and she dies.~U_K~

Everybody here seems to be forgetting about Vega. I hardly cared for him, but thanks to a free short comic I read about him, I guess I'm kinda okay with him now. Still hate how he looks though.~U_K~

ASDFToo busy playing Skyrim to even start Anniversary. Not to mention I also just got Assassin's creed. Anniversary won't be touched for a looong time. Please keep the terminals in spoilers please.~U_K~

So uh... even though I just watched the first 3 episodes, I've already made my own pony. What's happening to me?Though it does look more like a dragon than a pony, so it's a good thing I've got my priorities straight.~U_K~

I cannot stop laughing right now. I didn't really expect you of all ponies to become a brony. XDAlso on the topic of dragons Basil is my favorite non-pony.

So uh... even though I just watched the first 3 episodes, I've already made my own pony. What's happening to me?Though it does look more like a dragon than a pony, so it's a good thing I've got my priorities straight.~U_K~

Apparently much of ME3's plotline has been leaked. I've been spoiled on a few things, but not too much.

Entry name: ManbatEntry pic URL: HereTopic URL: Right here~U_K~

While thinking of characters from DC comics to do this, one of the first ones I thought of was Manbat. Knowing I'm not the best at humanoid faces, I thought it'd be easier if I went for something with a more bestial look. Also, I really like Manbat as a villain, even if I am more of a Marvel guy.So without further ado...(click here for the rest of the gallery when it's up)And yes, those are blue jeans.~U_K~
