Post your favourite screenies, and a little something to elaborate why you like/hate/picked that pic. ^^


If you don't know how to take screenshots, start HERE.

Or, wait, I'll just quote that here to keep things simple:

Spoiler

Also, I managed to enable the screenshot functionality (no, it doesn't work originally, not for PC at least). Here's how I did it, use the instructions at your own risk as usual:

0. Find Coalesced.ini at C:\Program Files\Mass Effect 2\BioGame\Config\PC\Cooked
1. Make a back-up of Coalesced.ini
2. Open Coalesced.ini in Notepad++
3. Find 'bEnableMouseSmoothing'
4. Type the following below it: Bindings=(Name="F12",Command="Shot")
5. Save the changes to Coalesced.ini
6. Run ME2CoalescedEditor.exe
7. Locate your Mass Effect 2 root folder when prompted
8. Click the Rebuild Coalesced button
9. You can now take screenshots in Mass Effect 2

The screenshots you take will be stored at:

C:\Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect 2\BIOGame\Screenshots

Also, thou shalt not neglect the worship of AMS.



Now.

I... think with most of these, it should be obvious.

I love how this dialogue option came out of nowhere in the middle of a serious mission.

Spoiler

This entire rant of his is just great to listen to.

Spoiler

Joker has a lot of fun lines.

Spoiler

And this must be the BEST. BARTENDER. EVER.

Spoiler

...I'm going to stop now, or I'll be uploading screenshots all night.

This isn't really on topic, but, vilkacis, that's a brilliant avatar!

[vilkacis]

I couldn't resist. It suits him so well.

[WeeRLegion]

Mmmm... Those are more or less altered Chuck Norris facts, right? ^^


And agreed, it's awesomesauce. 8D

Off topic (sorry, couldn't resist): Vilkacis, that avatar absolutely *rocks*!!!! Yay for Urdnot Wrex!!

Back on topic! Thanks to ArchMageSilver for giving us the little set of instructions to taking yoru own ME2 screenshots, and thanks to WeeRLegion for reposting them here! Here's my first (and only) foray into the land of ME2 screen shot taking (I'm currently too preoccupied with fighting for my life on Insanity difficulty to take screenshots!).
Here's James Shepard, a Ruthless Earth-born, Renegade Engineer who refuses to invest in the dermal regenerative unit in the med bay... (Incidentally, the dialog line beneath is one of Mordin's, and a very funny one, at that. What, I don't have a doctorate, so I can't have a decent conversation with him??? )

I don't blame you for believing that. Actually, Chuck Norris is the result of a secret Alliance attempt to clone Urdnot Wrex. Unfortunately, Wrex heard about it and punched the clone so hard it went back in time and split into Chuck Norris and Samuel L. Jackson.

It works for some of the others as well.



Not quite as well as it works for Wrex, mind, but it does work.

What, I don't have a doctorate, so I can have a decent conversation with him??? )

At the speed his brain moves at, I'm not sure even that would help. It's like, you go "Hello, my name is Shepard" and by the time you close your mouth, Mordin has introduced himself, his entire family, his science team and his lab, and developed a cure for cancer.

This is part of what makes Mordin awesome. And speaking of which...

[WeeRLegion]

Right. Moar stuff.

Among the best lines in the game IMO. Puts a proper lampshade on Miranda's outrageously revealing outfit.



This is why I love 1) Sniper Rifles 2) Headshotting YMIRs.



Yeah, just thought it was sort of funny in a weird way. One moment I'm killing Morinth, then loadscreen, and BOOBSM! screen goes full of bust. xP

[Eleima]

@Vilkacis: Those are absolutely awesome! I hope you don't mind, but I stoe them away to save them on my hard drive in my "Mass Effect art & other stuff" folder! I still think it suits Wrex the best. I may work for the others, but... Wrex forever!!!

@WeeRLegion: I agree about that comment regarding Miranda's outfit. I just don't see how that outfit could ever be comfortable, never mind that it probably doesn't have any decent armor padded in it. But... whatever.
As for YMIRs, I don't get all the hate! It can be pretty neat, sometimes, to have one on your side...

Who am I kidding, I *hate* YMIRs!!! Especially on Insanity level, they're a huuuge pain, with those strong shields and stronger armor...


Edit: I found this while raiding an Eclipse base... Looks like a sweet ride, I want one!

As I posted the means to take screenshots, I guess I'm obliged to post some of my own as well. Well, be that as it may, here they roll:

A blast from the past, an Age of Dragons...


Shepard's back, and he's got a new crew!


The way he sees it...


A haunted world, wreckage of the past


Reunion


On the cutting edge!


Welcome to Wasteland, your scenic shore leave resort!


A sun sets on one man's utopia


Evening falls in a purple haze...

[Eleima]

Nice screenshots, Archmage Silver!!!! I especially like the last two, but I was wondering where the "purple haze" was taken, I can't seem to remember that scene...

[Archmage Silver]

Thanks.

The last one is from Sanctum (Sigurd's Cradle, Decoris System). It's the Blue Suns Base mission from the N7 mission chain.

[Eleima]

Funny, I know I did that mission, because I took the opportunity of my second playthrough to clean out every star system, in each and every star cluster, but I don't remember that backdrop. It's gorgeous though.

Now that my little Renegade James' journey is over, here comes... Alexandra!
She wakes up, totally groggy:

Spoiler

She takes a walk around the Citadel:

Spoiler

She tries to stare down Counselor Anderson as he stone walls her (when asked about Kaidan):

Spoiler

And she's shoved up gainst a wall by Grunt:

Spoiler

All in all, she's had a **bad** day...

By the way, a friend of mine told me I made her look like Tori Amos; I told him he was crazy. Is he? Or am I?

Edited by Eleima, 16 March 2010 - 11:04 AM.

[Archmage Silver]

Yeah, it's a very scenic backdrop. Those kind of serene scenery moments are among my favorite ones in games. I guess it all started in the Icewind Dale days when I first saw Kuldahar... magical, n'est-ce pas?

P.S. Your friend is obviously crazy.

[princesspurpleblob]

I know this is really old topic, but I couldn't resist! This is what my female shepard look like <3 I'm really happy with how she turned out. I think it suits her character (she was extreme paragon )
