I got over 5000 without touching multiplayer with a new Shepard (not imported).

I have no idea how you managed that.

I completed the game with an imported ME1 > ME2 save (which apparently gives you more EMS) and I followed the "best routes" in both games, saved everyone in the suicide mission etc and did everything I feasibly could in ME3 and still only ended up with an EMS of 3573.

Fuck i don't have one single save before the Earth: London mission. Anyway i could have sworn i had just a little above 5000. Did all the quests and sidequest and found all the stupid relics and things on planets and took them to the people on the Citadel (used a list). Is there any way to check other than the War Room on the normandy?

Maybe i saw wrong? What did you guys get?

3495 was my max, i didn't do 3 side quests on my insanity playthrough.

1. Near the citidal embasies someone looked for his son
2. Thane
3. Conrad verner

I am sure i can get it up a little by doing those 3, but there is no way someone can go up above 3550 without editing their files.

PS: Finished the game twice, and duo the mp required shit i wont even bother to play with a adept/vanguard or anything else. This game is shit when you dont mod it.

Someone should create a unlocker to patch \Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect 3\Mass Effect 3\Save\Local_Profile.sav

That file stores info about dlc's and readiness

@xxax You're probably confusing the EMS with TMS (Total Military Strenght - that's how it was named I think). The EMS is only half of the TMS because the galactic readiness is at 50% at all times, unless you modify a file or play multiplayer.

You can get around 7000 or so (Max was apparently something around 7600) but with the effectiveness being halved due to their galaxy readiness system it's not enough to reach the 4000 - 5000 required for the better endings.
(Depends on what ending you choose, 5000 is only required to see a small extra scene.)

To get 100% Readiness:

1. Grab local_profile.sav from
Code:
http://www.wupload.com/file/2673818342/Local_Profile.sav

2. Copy it to My Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect 3\Saves (this will overwrite in-game settings)
3. Disconnect from the internet (this isnt a suggestion, this is required or it wont work)
4. Play Smile

With this method you won't need to restart your game, you just need to remap some keys if you've changed them from default.

Honestly mate, it's worthless anyhow. A lot of us kicked up a stink about the "best ending" being unlocked after 4000 EMS -- but in the end it was every bit as worthless as the rest. Still, for completeness sake I recommend giving the finger to BW's forced MP and simply editing the shit out of coalesced.ini ^_^

@crackerbear, I said DLC's as well (mean robodog and other pre-order items)

If people create a unlocker for that (like mass effect 2) we can play all dlc's

Well maybe not the end (i don't know what it is nor do i care), but the dialog before i got bored and stopped playing, was reeking with clichés.

You do know that we can see all the possible ways to get war assets with the coalesced editor right?

The maximum right now its 7094 (with IMPORTED SAVE), but if you cut that to 50% you will get only 3547.

Sorry Twinny, already told you: on my first playthrough I got 3602 EMS. WITHOUT editing coalesced.bin
Getting 4k was a no-go however.


I even posted a screen Razz

It would even be a bit higher, but I made some mistakes with the Citadel Defense force.
Hint: not everything Paragon you do bolsters the defense Smile
