Getting Started

Getting Started

The Mass Effect 3 journey begins automatically upon starting the game. Players are immediately introduced to Admiral David Anderson and briefed on the unfolding crisis. Dialogue choices made during this initial conversation can influence Morality Points, and a brief scene with either Kaidan or Ashley will play out, depending on previous game choices or character creation.

After the introductory scenes, a Reaper attack commences, thrusting players into immediate action. Follow Anderson along the building exterior, paying attention to on-screen prompts that serve as tutorials for basic controls. Engage Husks scaling walls, and after eliminating them, climb down a ladder to the next building's roof. Another group of Husks will attempt to breach; fire upon them until you run out of ammo, then engage in close-quarters combat. After the final Husk is defeated, a Reaper's laser beam will open a new path.

Inside the building, locate and open a Med Kit among the rubble. As you approach the next door, a Husk will attack, requiring a Heavy melee kill as per the on-screen prompt. A cutscene follows, involving a child in the vents, with a dialogue option before the child disappears.
