Ideas for new playthrough?

HELP

Since it's been 2 years or so since I made my last playthrough, I wondered if you have any ideas for this one? I want to make it a sort of special experience and I don't have all the DLC's, happy to buy some tho. Any recommendations?

I think I have Normandy Crash Landing from ME1 and all the ME3 DLC's.

Dude, you should get the Shadow Broker Dlc for ME2. Pretty much all ME2 Story Dlcs are excellent, but the Shadow Broker is the best.

Can I buy it somewhere else than on Origin? 9€ seems a bit much.

Not sure where else you can get it. You could get the DLC bundle for 25€ which just includes everything. I'd say it's worth it with Zaeed and Kasumi as new companions with an extra loyalty mission each, and Arrival and Overlord are pretty good story DLCs, too.

I also personally enjoy Bring Down the Sky in ME1, and I'm pretty sure it's free.

I used the savegame editer to give myself an M7 Lancer at the start of Priority: Mars (ME3).

I then played the game through using only the Lancer and the Predator plot pistol. If you aren't a Soldier and you are on high difficulties it gets quite interesting.

The Lancer was my favourite gun in that game. Sadly I got it in the citadel right before the Cerberus mission.

Yeah, honestly it was the best thing about NewGame+

My first playthrough like this I stopped using after Thessia because the cutscene has him losing his Avenger-style rifle. Shepard was finally broken because his rifle was gone.

And he'd give every gun he owned for one more mission with it.

Like Zaeed and his rifle

Few ideas I have for different Shep playstyles.

  • Neutral Shep : Unless forced too, never pick Paragon or Renegade, only pick Neutral dialogue. Apart from that, try to do the best you can.

  • Two-face Shep : At each Paragon / Renegade decision, flip a coin, Heads = Paragon, Tails = Renegade.

  • Casanova Shep : Sleep with as many people as possible and end with a different LI each game.

And finally, if you have a heart of stone like me...

  • Conrad Shep : Deliberately pick all of the worst options for the galaxy, skip the majority of side quests and get everyone killed possible. End ME3 with as low EMS as you can.

I'm hoping for my 6th shep to be a rougish Casanova Shep. Mostly Paragon but a healthy sprinkle of renegade badassery for those who deserve it.

Yeah, the Paragade alignment works well for the Casanova. Basically all the snarky Renegade dialogue, but still doing the right thing. The "jerk with the heart of gold" playthrough.
