3-5 hours, then you will see the credits, when you only do the Mainquest and the loyality Mission.MacBosse said:
Btw. I missed the Mako. Cannot wait for the next DLC
Just dropping into the thread to say this game is amazing. It's profoundly different to ME1, but after 15 hours or so of ME2 I honestly can't say which game I prefer. This is a good thing. I enjoyed the exploration and freedom of ME1, but I also appreciate the sense of focus the missions and hubs have in ME2. I'll probably never play ME2 without starting a character in ME1 first.
My only complaint so far is the planet scanning. Unlike most I didn't mind the Mako in the last game, but hopefully even the Mako haters agree that the endless scanning is a thousand times worse. It's time consuming, tedious, and unrealistic - Shep would never do this work. It could be entirely automated, or passed on to literally any other crew member.
I've steered clear of the thread to avoid spoilers and surprises, but having found one scanner upgrade (that didn't seem to do much), I have to ask if it gets easier. Is there a slick, quick planet scanning upgrade out there? If so, please point me in its direction.

After you do that then you can go through the Omega 4 relay which is the last mission.
This one looks good. Will probably go for this on my second play.

Outside of the blue eyes and smaller lips, that looks *exactly* like mine.

Anyone know what day next week the Hammerhead DLC comes out?
Or if it even comes out next week?

Not sure if someone has mentioned this but to my fellow Vanguard players. The Advanced Training ability Fortification that increases your armour stacks with your Charge abilities shield and the charge doesn't disable it. Meaning you are basically the ~Juggernaut while both are stacked
Be aware though the charge will disable the armour animation from Fortification.

I've been trying to find information on this as well. Best I've found is a quote from someone who's quoting an article from Game Informer saying that someone at BioWare said it'd be about a week after launch.
So to answer your question, I've got no damned idea. :lol
Excuse my LTTP attitude and ignorance but I am so pissed off with EA right now.
Wall of text incoming.
I log into my EA Account on my computer. I want to redeem my Terminus armor.
This EA account is one which links EAsportsworld to my gamertag and allows me to upload replays through FIFA, NHL and NBA. Its linked. :lol
No problem. I'll just log into my EA account (on my computer) and redeem the Mass Effect Terminus code as it is already linked to the gamertag of my choosing. (as seen with being able to upload replays and images)
For some reason though, when I logged into it to redeem the code, it decided to unlink my gamertag even though its linked for all the other games. So I pretty much just redeemed my code and it went to NO GAMERTAG (I checked afterwards and it says "none") and of course the code is now invalid.
I don't know what to think. How could the system allow it to go through when no gamertag was listed. FFS.
More so, as I can upload replays through my gamertag to the EA profile, I would have thought it would have already been linked! Call me ignorant, but if the EA account and my gamertag are ALREADY LINKED, and I had just logged into that LINKED ACCOUNT, why would it fill my gamertag with 'no gamertag' and screw me out of my stuff? Fucking hell.
So now I can't redeem it a second time and the armor is floating around in the world of 'none'
Where can I go from here in regards to getting my ****?
Thank you if you've read this far. :lol

Mordin died on my first run for no reason blocking the door with everyone. Sending him back with the survivors worked though.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
There's multiple ways to make sure everyone survives .. and even then sometimes having one non-loyal member in your crew can result in unexpected deaths, especially in the
biotic shield bit, one of your active 3 will get taken away even if he/she was loyal if even one of the three party members present are unloyal.

I take it you mean someone got pulled in that scene regardless ?
Yeah .. it's a weird and fucked up flowchart running behind it all lol

In Mass Effect 2 you customize the whole story, your whole surroundings by your personal decisions.
Agreed with whomever said it: ME2 is as close as Role Playing Games get.
Of course, if your definition of an RPG are silly, abstract skill point choices and silly non-skill combat-systems, then that´s okay...but it´s not what "role playing" implies to me. Maybe call it "SPG", stat playing game.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Just got the final squadmate and doing the loyalty mission.
Question for that;
Question for that;
is it possible to take Legion with you on Tali's loyalty quest? Does it have any impact?

I love that after end-game (romance related)
Love the little details.
your romace option (Tali in my case) can be invited up to your room to sit on your couch or lay on you bed, and when you check out the picture of your romance choice in ME 1 (Liana for me) it has been placed face-down, in what I like to think is an attempt to spare your ME 2 choices feelings.

Imagine I had a decent camera. Even aside from the awesome space-witch makeup, she doesn't bear much resemblance to any other female Shepards I've seen. I'm pleased with her. She looks great in game. Took me forever to create a character that didn't reveal some subtle imperfection in certain lighting conditions or when speaking. I'm still trying to make a satisfying male Shep in ME1.

The heresay is that how you handle it will have a big impact in ME3, which is why I'm playing through again just to avoid that.
EatChildren said:
I wouldn't think so, since bringing
Miranda to the Fleet
Grunt with Mordin during his quest
It's too bad, but I guess they just didn't want to write dialogs for every possible combination of party members.

Thats a shame,
as I wouldn't think the Quarians would just ignore a Geth wandering around their ship, especially considering the circumstances of the quest.

You would think so... and maybe it's worth trying.
Unfortunately, the only real way to test that out would be to go for the non-optimal path. I'd try it out, but redoing the entire
IFF/Scion-Husk-fest
But remember how the game opens with the Quarians shitting on Cerberus? You'd think that would have an effect as well, but it doesn't.

This is a bloody good game. I found it a little tricky at first and the learning curve can be a bit wonky. But I've got a handle on it now. The best news is it plays fine on a OC'd GTX260. ME1 would crash all the time but ME2 is fine. They've done a good job on the engine. Hopefully this means ME3 won't need too much tweaking and should be out sooner.

Just about to start my 2'nd play through on insanity, what class should i go with?
Wonderful game, one of the best games to come out in years. This is the peak of modern gaming, something which only a company like Bioware could pull off.
Anyways about the ending:
If you haven't got a 360 or PC, you really have to play this series, its a classic for the ages.
Anyways about the ending:
kinda pissed that I lost Legion, even though I completed all loyalty quests, had every single upgrade and prepared my team to perfection. The most annoying part is that it seems to be totally random, with some people just being able to load up there saves, play through the same bit again and see the same character that just died make it through, not really a fan of that so i'm going to have to have another playthrough to make sure everyone lives

Anyone know where I can get a new Assault Rifle? I've been stuck with the same Assault Rifle that they give you in the beginning of the game and it's pissing me off. I want a better one.
(Lvl 19 Soldier, btw)
There's another Assault Rifle not counting the collector one you get from the Deluxe version
The Geth Pulse Rifle. You need to play Tali's recruitment mission on Hardcore or Insanity, the rifle will be in the room where you get her.
