Originally by: LordSwift wow the husks are well hard. especially in the geth ship. Little place to hide and so many of them. Reminds me of left 4 dead.
Another very good counter-measure for Husks is the shockwave power. For some reason that's a 1-hit kill for those things, and you can usually hit more than 1 with a single shot if you aim properly. Made life a lot easier for my Vanguard and my adept really loves it too. Haven't even used the evolved wide front version yet, but I imagine that'll really make a mess.

Hulks Yeah - evolved wide shockwave power makes hulks easy. Just keep jack in the crew when they are coming up. Or punch them as they can be a waste of ammo. Often there are explosive objects convieniently placed nearby to shoot, or a way to funnel them.
Romance options - last game I played before ME2 was Dragons Age Origions. Same sort of mild bland PG12 romance stuff - except you actualy had to put effort into how you played the game to open up the romance with a particular person - i.e. playing the hero in front of a particular romance option during the gameplay or playing the villian in front of another romance option. Often choices which improved chances with one made romance with another impossible.
Here you do what you want go back to ship a couple of times after missioning choosing the obvious options then wait for the cutscene to occur at the appropriate time. Felt like it all had no depth. I agree though that Tali was one of the few characters that I actualy cared whether they lived or died at the end.
Linear nature of the game - yes you can choose to do the loyalty missions in different orders. I probably chose the wrong phrase to describe what I meant. ME1 felt like much more of an open world although it also to a large extent was organised in a similiar fashion. Perhaps the small nature of each world and the loss of the Mako (even though it was rather poor to control) took away this feeling that the universe was there to be explored, rather than a few little areas were there for 4 mission starting points.

I've just finished this game, and my opinion is that Mass Effect 2 is bland, boring and immature. The story is railroading you around and in my opinion is bad. The game bombards you with cheesy dialogues, **** and ass... I'm sorry, but I'm just not 13 years old anymore.
To sum it all up, Mass Effect 2 is a game of lame story, cheesy dialogues and it falls short of a competent shooter.
ME1 was better.

o noes people swear in real life
The best bit about Legion is taking him to Tali's loyalty mission.
"I'd never bring live Geth aboard the Flotilla!" Legion just looks left and right at the assembled Quarians. - Or the Citadel. The woman at customs says she's watching out for infiltrating Geth, so you shouldn't have your 'personal synthetic'.
Legion: Geth do not infiltrate. Customs: We have to keep watch for Geth Infiltrators, I'd reccomend leaving your Personal Synthetic Legion: Geth do not purposely infiltrate.

However, it looks like my current Kaidan-betraying Adept playthrough will have to wait (probably going for Kelly in this one).
For some unknown reason my DVD drive decided to stop recognising various discs after watching the first season of Red Dwarf on DVD. (Now it no longer recognises ME2, the Red Dwarf DVDs and a number of others... dammit)
Really curious as to what went wrong, it's just chocking on certain discs now. Uninstalled the CCCP, thinking it might have gone awry, but that's not helped...
Well... use a no-cd patch...?

I have done that, so yes I can play again. Doesn't fix the drive though. Has a bit over 50% failure rate when it comes to reading DVDs (either data or video) tested 30 discs, 17 failed to read, CDs work fine. Guess a laser or lens is shot, luckily it's well under warranty.

Originally by: LordSwift edit: oh damn you Kelly chambers for getting turned into sludge. Now all my fish have died
If you do not want Kelly turned into sludge, you should go into the "suicide mission" immediately after you get the reaper IFF, wasting no time on anything else (at least that's how you make sure, probably you could spare the time for one mission, but I wouldn't gamble with that).
Also, if you do not want your other characters dead, you should make sure they're all loyal, that you upgraded everything there was to upgrade in the ship, that you resolve any "internal tensions", and maybe (really, just maybe, not sure it really matters) also assign them to something they're suited for. Or, at least, that's the "theory"...

Yeah I did that first time round. As a result, I lost Tali, Miranda, Grunt, Legion, and Thane. Bugger.
This time, I'm sending Garrus' smug face up through the ventilation pipes instead of Tali. He's not as good a tech as Tali, but I don't really care if he dies. ____________________

Ah thats what i did wrong. I needed to go buy a few more mods for my gear before i went. Oh well next playthrough on veteran i will do it right. Going to carry on my me2 character. I will bring everyone back this time. The whole crew. but i have not decided whether to go in opposite directions this time with the choices. Like the Geno***e and the collector base or the geth base. Might do it opposite ways this time. Il still do the good way. i dont enjoy it if im doing it the ******* way.
Way i won it:
Vents:- Tali Team leader both times:- Garrus Biotic Shield:- Samera Assalt Team:- Mordin and legion. (Took mordin because everywhere i read he would die if you didnt. Dont know the truth in that tho.) And i destroyed the base. Reason being is that Cerberus has some good ideals but things the illusive man says makes me feel he wants to conquer the galaxy and for the human race. Well thats bull****. He only wants it for himself
Edit: oh i sent Jacob back with survivors

My group: Tali + Garrus Tunnels: Legion Fire Team Leader: Miranda (Sent Jacob back with my crew members) My Second group: Tali + Legion Fire Team Leader: Garrus Barrier holder: Samara Last group I think I had to pick another leader, so I choose Miranda while I used Tali + Garrus to finish off the mission.
Everyone on my team lived, all my crew lived, I had everyone loyal and every ship upgrade I could get my hands on along with the specialty upgrades and a ton of weapon upgrades.
I saved the base for Cerberus and got an earfull from my entire team, even the Cerberus ones, ugh! ________________________________________________ My Music "Commander-Shepard?" |

1 mission is probably the limit, I did Legions loyalty mission after the Reaper IFF (since you don't get legion before that, and I wanted 100% loyalty) and still saved Kelly and all the others, only Lilith (from the Horizon cut scene) dies when you find the crew-pods.
Other than that, I saved everyone. As for Mordin, he survives just fine if you don't bring him along, but since he is the character with the least health I sent him back with the crew to the Normandy. No losses, although I had to restart once because I lost Tali, but sending Samara as first squad leader was a bad idea. 400 years of experience is one thing, but it was mostly solo work. Did it with Garrus next time and it went fine.
PS: bringing Miranda on the final take down has some interesting side effects when you subsequently chose the Paragon option with the Illusive man. Guess seeing me work first hand is impressive.

You get a two mission time limit after the kidnapping before people star to get mushified, generally enough to do one mission, then Legions loyalty, I managed to pick up Legions loyalty mission immediately after activating him though.

I dont know why but i cant stand beinga renegade in rpg's, well except a few *******s who i do hurt. but not a total jerk playthrough.
So now we need to think about what choices we will have in the next game. I am thinking the choices about the Krogan, Geth and Collecter ship are going to play a huge part in me3. Probably a choice in the forces you weild in the final battle.

Oh, by the way, the voice of the female Shep ? Same voice as Bastila in both KOTORs, Fall-from-Grace and Deionarra from Planescape Torment, Black Cat // Felicia Hardy in the Spider Man cartoons 10+ years ago, to name just the ones in which you might possibly remember her, plus countless (literally hundreds) of others in video games, cartoons and even the odd live-action job. Male Shep voice actor on the other hand ? Yeah, pretty much a nobody before Mass Effect. And it really, really shows.

Just finished ME2 for the third time, this time with my infiltrator character attempting to do it perfectly - losing no one, 100% paragon.
First thing that annoyed me is how crap the infiltrator class is at the beginning. I had to train fortification to keep myself alive. Alot of the missions are too tight to use the sniper rifle as much as I'd like. Second thing that annoyed me was that its seemingly impossible to get 100% paragon. Always tend to pick up a few renegade points somewhere.
However I found the infiltrator class is awesome against collectors near the end. With all the sniper upgrades, the special geth sniper rifle and the cloaking ability you can almost instantly kill harbingers when they spawn with a headshot. Normal collectors die without the cloak from a headshot.
The incinerate skill maxed out is also better than your heavy weapons against armour.
I ended up taking Grunt and Thane as my ultimate team. Grunt is tough, does good damage and gives team incindary ammo. Thane has some useful biotics and good damage. Warp especially for dropping barriers.
I might play again as a different class, the classes are much more different than ME1.

Out of interest, has anyone taken a paragon Shepard from ME1 and then gone through ME2 as a renegade?
I tried it up as far as the first meeting with the Illusive Man, hoping for some "Oh noes, we've turned Shepard into a *****, Project Lazarus is a failure!" comments, but was sadly disappointed.

The only thing I really hate in changes from ME1 is the global cooldown on abilities, I wish there was some way to get rid of it _____________ I don't care what is nerfed, as long as it's not my "undock" button. |

I think he might mean the final game. but i am just dreading seeing her real face. I dont want to not like her RP wise after seeing what she looks like. Be odd to see her without the suit. You know i hope that we get a chance to help the Quarians eithe get their homeworld back or find a way to settle on another world in me3
edit:- i am playing through it again because i want to make sure the two in engineering survive, was so sad to speak to the guy after it all.
