It was awhile since last update. We've got a new version of a beta - finally containing some proper side quests, side characters, some VOs, this sort of thing - and it was released to testers few days ago. Along with that, we've got some new people on the beta team, so I'm very much looking forward to reading new guys' impressions. What's left to do? Finishing some side-quests. Quite possibly adding one or two more. Maybe another side-character to talk to. Then there's VO recording. And of course fixing any issues that still exist in game (and ones that don't exist yet). Plus some other surprises. Having no idea what more I could say, I'll post pictures and run away.

Expect new screens very soon... we might even get screenshot of the week thing running again.

There is. You tell the Catalyst you don't want his choices, he's like "ok, so be it", disappears, you don't use the Crucibile and the Reapers destroy all life in the galaxy, and you get a scene of Liara's time capsule sometime in the next cycle. That's what I got last night on my first EC-run From what I'm told this ending is also triggered if you shoot the kid after talking to him.

Extended Cut spoiler: I liked how I was able to tell the Catalyst to flip off. Ending could still be way better, but expanded conversation with the StarKid helped a lot. I may write more later. Probably after I watch other endings.

Extended Cut DLC to be released on Tuesday - http://masseffect.com/about/extended_cut/ I'm surprised. No news for months and suddenly they announce a release date - next week? Well it's free, so I guess I'll replay the ending as soon as it's released. I like the fact that (according to FAQ) it requires loading save from before Cerberus Base - that means we might actually get some additional content on Earth itself, which would be nice.

First one. And the second version of 1.8's installer should be ready today so testing will continue.

Not to worry, I see people writing "zybl" all the time, I got used to it by now

It's up in the download section... and my name was misspelled in the readme.

For those that applied for beta testing but never heard back from me: There will be a new version of a beta really soon. That's when we'll be accepting more testers. So just be a little more patient, and you'll all get some info soon! Thanks for your interest!

I'm not sure I should post it here, but I'll tell you that I laughed my ass off when I saw it

No, this fight was supposed to happen during GenoHaradan plot on Nar Shaddaa which isn't restored by TSLRCM.

No, Sion vs Nihilus is not part of M4-78EP.

It's ES-05's chamber (Environmental one). There was a screenshot of Industrial chamber few pages back, I think... main difference is IS-24's one is sort of red, while Environmental is blue... Main Core is green, and way bigger

Then why didn't you play through it yet?

There hasn't been a screenshot of a week in a while... Well. Now you get three.

Indeed, we'll be testing a mod until release - there is still content to be added (side-quests mostly) so they will need to be tested, too!

Indeed, once M4-78EP is released, it will be fully compatible with TSLRCM... in fact, it probably won't work without it. Correct, Vash will be restored in M4-78.

Maybe to a first question. I'll have to look into it. You will be able to learn a new lightsaber form from Master Vash.

Well, if you look at our trailer, Kaah uses different lightsaber color in every shot... so I wouldn't assume Vash's lightsaber is going to be blue. Then again, it may be blue. I like blue. Also, there is nothing in game files indicating her lightsaber was supposed to be silver, or whatever other color.

What's going on? Speculations for everyone!
