This is why from here on out, whenever I play ME1 again,
The council fucking dies! I saved their asses and this is my repayment? Bullshit!
BTW, Moridin's loyalty mission is easily one of the best written side missions, almost outright mission, I have done in an RPG in a long time. (BIG SPOILER on Moridin)
His mission involves a lot of decisions and discussion on the Krogan genophage. Turns out the Krogan started to naturally adapt past it and Moridin was the head of a team which modify the genophage to make it as effective again. This you all learn before going on his loyalty mission.
Been home for a couple hours, but I've only been typing up stuff to hand in tomorrow - I'm finally done, problem now is that it's 12:45 in the morning now...
And I had a long post talking about why I loved the way weapons and armor are handled, clicked on post reply, GAF decided to crash, went back, had to log in again because I did save the sign in (I wasn't at home on my own PC) and stupid Internet Explorer never even saved the post, unlike what Firefox would've done - I was pissed because of that.
Oh well, I'll post that some other time, time to get a few hours of ME2 in.

Yeah, that penalty is on the xbox as well. I assumed you meant 'no support' as in it wasn't used. AFIK, the penalty is because people were worried about how powerful some of the heavy weapons are.

Awesome!
Also Bioware writing is pretty bad (and simple) when it comes to anything political or complex. Or any organized body of diplomats. See Jedi, Council, Fereldan politics, so on. Even the dwarven nobles had moments of really? Just really?
Then again anything resembling a well done political situation would be too much for most people. The council was gonna be hated by most players regardless of them having good points or not because bros cant let the man keep them down in games. So its easier to make them jackasses. You are right, they are wrong.
The game shop place in citadel is so awesome. I just stood there and listened to the responses for like 15min. It's seemed like a dev just stood in a GameStop for a few minutes and recorded what the heard. The data protection plan had me cracking up. So many other humorous little things to over hear and see compared to the first game. Plus the environments are leagues better than the first.

Am I crazy for thinking that Mark Meer as Sheppard isn't that good of a voice actor; some of the others like Garrus or Mordin upstage him. Where's my boy Nolan North at!!

*makes a bunch of crazy accusations and outrageous claims and demands that the people who are in charge of trillions of lives all over the galaxy do insane things that could endanger lives*
"Do you have any evidence of this? I mean, we'll do it if it turns out to be true."
*throws hissy fit about how they need to open their eyes, it's not your fault that all the evidence you touch ends up dead or destroyed*
"Well then we can't do anything. We don't live inside your head Shepard, we can't see the cutscenes you're in or the things you experience, you kinda need to prove these extraordinary things before we start a war or invest massive amounts of time and money."
*anderson and shepard sulk off and bitch about anti-human sentiment and them damn politicos and their sliminess*

How do you go about enabling anti-aliasing if you have an nVidia card? I can't stand the jaggies.
What, seriously? I'm on PC, and I'm getting like 40 second load times just going between decks on the Normandy. The same length for a respawn.DennisK4 said:

Nhancer. Add the ME2.exe to the Mass Effect profile, then go nuts.

Is anyone else bothered by Jacob's torso in proportion to the rest of his body? It's too wide and too long, but not overly thick, so I'm getting a really strong Gumby vibe from him whenever I talk to him on the ship.

Man that sucks, I had 5 seconds at most on the normandy, probably longest in the game was 10-15.
I'm waiting for Zaeed to download right now, so I'll take the chance to touch on something that there was a lot of complaints about: Loot.
Don't believe the hype. Unless you're a major loot hound and you beat off to Torchlight, Titan's Quest, and Diablo (I mean that with love, I own them too), the modifications to weapons and armor are far more focused, interesting, and useful. The game moves much faster and more interesting because you don't have to run down every container in hopes of better armor. A huge portion of the loot in ME1 was extraneous and a pointless time filler, and now that's been removed for more content and a less backtracking.
Further, there are things to collect in mission. Ore, Credits, Heat Clips, Heavy Ammo, and Upgrades which keep that RPG feel to a degree without making it cumbersome. True, its not a devoted loot system like Dragon Age, but a rational loot and inventory system based in sci-fi is more difficult than in a high fantasy setting, and I think the one they have in gives enough of the feel without making it another issue of Ravager IV greater than Ravager II.

Yeah. I wish they'd at least display the exact numbers on guns. I've began to lean towards the original pistol instead of the heavy pistol lately. I'd probably keep the heavy one if knew exactly how much damage it did compared to the other pistol. Many of the weapons are just left for your preference by feel though...ThePeacemaker02 said:

Anyone have any tips on the boss in the first collector level? He keeps getting a barrier :/
Nevermind, got him, soldier on insanity is really hard.

About the boss:goldenpp72 said:
It'll keep coming back too. Spread out your team. Spread them FAR apart. Knockdown the barrier - it'll keep coming back, but what you want to do is attack the armor underneath so you want to take out the barrier as fast as possible to give yourself more time to work the armor. When he comes down, make sure you're nowhere close, reposition yourself and prepare to take down the barrier again.
Or just break out the heavy weapons
So I resolved the technical issues with my Steam version and could finally play ME2 for a little bit. I'm on my way to
and what can I say ... so far so great.

Miranda's ingame model looks way better than i expected:
Gonna spend some time on my

Well, with the Jedi, KOTOR I didn't have them doing too much beyond the rudimentary. Then again, the Jedi in KOTOR II might have been more stand-off-ish with the main character, but the Jedi in KOTOR II made some ridiculously stupid decisions all the same. Fereldan politics was just awkward at most points.
They kinda blew Loghain's shot of presenting a viable, alternate perspective on the grand scheme of things by sweeping most of his motivations under the rug.

I can't believe a dev can put out something as unpolished as Dragon Age, and then put out something brilliant like this... moral of the story: one game at a time.
