I find it funny that there are vehicle controls listed in the key mapping menu for the PC version. Its one big Hammerhead cock tease.
Are you kidding me? Jack is cool.. she has an interesting background.. and at least she's human.. I mean really human. I always think it's pretty damn fake when characters in movies/games don't cuss when bad shit happens. I mean, who doesn't cuss sometimes? Especially with all the bad stuff going down.

can anyone tell me if any of the side quests from ME1 will have any impact or any references in ME2? i'm thinking about doing a quick 3rd run through before i start ME2 to be freshed for ME2.

I only just got her so maybe she'll grow one me. But I also hate Miranda. Maybe my Fem Shepard has just grown to be a woman hater after her Asari fling.

They do but most often it's just little things, like bumping into a character you saved / didnt brutally execute, hearing about a quest you completed on the news, or getting an email from them.
I like it though. It feels comfortably subtle.
The first thing I did was go to every available side planet to fully mine them out. I spent at least 3 hours on it, using an average of 40 probes per planet. This was followed by me going to Omega. When I'm done with Omega, I'm going to the side planet anomoly I found, then the Normandy SR1 crash site. That should be it for all the clusters surrounding the starting area. I guess I'm supposed to go through the Mass Relay after that to go back to the Citadel or something.

Just out of curiousity which characters, are generally considered the best combat wise and why? Obviously it is heavily determined by what class Shepard is, but I can't really get a feel for who I should be bringing on most missions.
How bout storyline wise, I've read that most people love Thane, but I've yet to recruit em.
I'm still very early in the game, just wondering what everyone thinks. Right now my Shep is a vanguard and I'm rolling with Miranda and
for most missions.

If you want a refresher and to take note of perhaps all the things and subtle notions mentioned in the second one, its worth it. Though if you have a damn good memory, might not be nessecary.

Anyone else OCD with the trash compactor and then shooting it out the air lock? I think I did it for 10 minutes last night in an effort to get all the trash out :lol
I actually like Miranda. Jacob on the other hand is as bland and boring as Kaiden was, actually more so because I didn't mind Kaiden. Jacob on the other hand I feel nothing for the character. I feel like the voice acting on him is weak to...he has a boring, droning voice.
Best new feature.

I think we can all agree Kelly is the best new member of the Normandy. 30 seconds into talking to her is its pretty much "Hey Shepard I'm really happy t- HEY LETS HAVE HOT SEX oh shit I hope I wasnt too flirty!1!! :3".

Your 58 f'n hours already???? Have you beat the game or are you exploring/reading everything you can?
I am 10 hrs, 38 min...still on disk 1. From what I hear, disk 1 you are on for short time, majority of the game is disk 2, then you go back to disk 1 for the ending. Is that right? If so, then me be happy...10 hrs and I am not in the "meat" of the game yet is a good sign. I like longer games, not short ones and I am one of those look in every nook and cranny.
Oh and for the record, I am a PECKER! lol

That's true, I don't know either and it seems I guess that you just have to use them to even find out?
The trash compactor is in the same room as Zaeed which is level 4 I believe, bottom.

Kind of regretting picking Vanguard. I picked it because that's what I was in the last game, but it seems like it plays a lot differently. I remember being able to do pushes and pulls from a fairly moderate distance, but now I feel like I really need to get right up in there if I want to be effective. It's a little hard for me since it's not really my style. Especially with that charge power. It's like hey I know what I'll do, I'll fly really fast right in to the middle of that group of enemies so they can wolfpack my ass when they stand up!
What are all the weapon types available to Vanguards? I can't seem to find the info anywhere on the internet. I know I can use machine pistols, (which I hate), shotguns (which are cool but again you gotta get up in there), some kind of "hand cannon" though I don't know which category that falls in to (which is my favorite weapon so far), and a grenade launcher (which is awesome obviously, but has fallen in to that whole "not a lot of ammo for this thing so I'm going to save it for when I really need it only to eventually forget I even have it"). It looks like there's a blank spot for one more weapon type to fit in, is it going to stay blank or do I get something else?

Not hate, just opinions on what some users liked from the first game. For me, I do miss the feeling of finding some great armor, guns etc. I miss the grenades and the way you can upgrade them. I miss the ability to have armor and decide if I want the helmet on or off.
It is just some things from the original that I wish they improved upon instead of removing. I dont think anyone that played the first word disagree that Mass 2 is "light" on the RPG elements or what we have come to know as RPG Elements. Finding items has been a staple since D&D and to have a loot system is what makes for some an RPG. The fact that this is gone for the most part is a bit disapointing.
However, unlike some others, I do like the planet scanning. It did not make sense to me in ME1 that if you are that into the future, why do you have to land on planets to find materials? I mean in parts of ME1, you can just hit "Scan planet" and boom, there you go, you found minerals etc. But on other planets you had to drive around to find them..it just did not make sense to me. Probing like you do now, seems more like it would be based on the time setting of the game.
Ultimately, I agree and side more on the argument that BioWare should of not cut out so much, but refined. Can you imagine the game we have now (ME2) with a streamlined inventory system? Gaining exp. points and earning credits while playing in the game? Being able to equip guns that you find during a mission, to give your party a better chance? All these things would of enhanced the game even more...but even without them, I am enjoying the game alot.

Just started the game. Incredible intro. Absolutely incredible. I'm impressed with how smoothly they can switch between the pre-rendered video and real-time.
Now, onto the gameplay: please, is there anyway I can change the mouse sensitivity when i'm aiming? Everything else is fine, even zoomed in aiming is fine, but just standard aiming is ugh...
Plenty of people earlier in this thread. And thanks, but i've since made a much better Brazilian looking one!

Is launching probes the only way to get resources? Seems so slow.
EDIT - besides picking up in missions of course

Submachine gun (aka machine pistol) is pretty much the best weapon in the game and you can unlock assault rifles later on. Charge is good but difficult to use properly on higher difficulties. Shockwave is pretty amazing once upgraded due to the fast recharge time. Shotguns are terrible.Borgnine said:
You know, I too am finding Vanguard to be rather weak this time, and unfitting of my playstyle. Odd, since in the first game, the class was godly and match my style perfectly. Now it feels like I have no badass skills. Once you charge, you're stuck in no man's land to get mowed down.
Ive thought about it, and its not so much a problem with ME2's vanguard as it is a problem with ME2's lack of upgrade slots and abilities. In ME1, my vanguard was lifting and throwing fools around, using warp, and add to that the Shock Trooper specialization, and I was just a badass.
I dont feel like a badass in ME2 yet.

Where do I redeem my pre-order code for armor? Email says that it should be in the main menu but I can't find the field to put the code in. Downloadable Content option only shows me two dlc's I already got.
Edit: It's not a regular Xbox Live code either so I can't redeem it that way.

Final level is the best
, I could replay it so many times.For some reason the main story of this one felt a little flat to me, I learned a lot about my squad but I don't feel like I've made any progress to understanding the Reapers compared to ME1. It's like I'm exactly where I started at the end of ME1, except with 11 guys that are willing to die for me at the drop of a hat.

Is there some kind of upgrade for the Bypass minigame? It's the one part of the game I simply can't stand.
Also, does anyone know if you can sleep around with all your crew members or are you limited to just one, like in the first? Just trying to decide if I should wait and pick one person or not.

macfoshizzle said:
yes, surprisingly high number of side quests.
Exactly, who played Baldur's Gate for it's awesome loot?? Bioware is a not a loot-RPG developer, never has been. What was in ME1 was sadly their best attempt at it if that means anything.Zzoram said:
Biotics got toned down. ME1 Vanguard rushs into the thick of things with a shotgun while everyone's locked down and floating from singularity, lift and throw. Universal cooldown means you can't spam attacks like that anymore. Though playing as an adept, having four people caught in one singularity and then using warp for the biotic explosion is pretty badass.Solo said:

I didn't like it that much until I started upgrading shockwave and if I had my druthers I would start again with something else (infiltrator) but it's fun enough to finish with.
Himuro said:
Oh I agree, I'm using my team's powers and everything, but it's kind of like I wish I was the one using their powers and not them. I don't know I guess it's just that Vanguard feels a little sloppy for me. It's like all right charge in, shotgun some fools, oh shit they're up! machine pistol as I'm backing away, oh fuck screen turning red! turn and run and find cover, getting shot in the back!
I think that's the point, I'm sure that sounds very exciting for some people, but again it's just not what I was expecting. I think this is what Solo was talking about with being a badass, it's about feeling in control, but I'm not really feeling that yet.
