Wait, what? I went back to the store where I bought them originally and they didn't "respawn" or anything....
I need to know, my empty fish tank is killing me. :lol

At bare minimum you need every loyalty quest completed, and then you also need to assign people "correctly" in the final mission, though I think there's some breathing room on that (there's not one exact correct assignment or anything.)

such annoying whiny bitches in ME2

They were that way in the first game, too. At least to me.

People keep saying this but man, you must not have treated them right. My Liara was committed to her current activities, but she never talked smack to me. She was the same blue weirdo I fell in love with.

It's nice that you feel that way, but I hated Liara and only put up with her because I wanted to get it on with a blue alien chick.

So why would it be surprising to you that she was a bitch to you in 2?

I'll turn the soundeffects down to about 70 percent and have music and dialogue at 100 percent for my next playthrough to better judge the soundtrack overall. I think that with the lack of quiet moments in comparison to ME1 due to a lack of exploration along with the far meatier sound effects might have taken away from the score for most people.

They should put a patch out for ME1 that lets you skip the existing love interests in favor of heavy foreshadowing about how you are going to put it in Tali.

Anyone have any experience with unstable warp vs. heavy warp? Usually the AOE variant is 3 meters, but unstable warp seems to be 7 which is quite a big larger radius. Wondering if I should go the AOE route with that power or not.

This may be a weird question, but any answers would be appreciated...
This game is 2 DVDs, right?
Will it let you save between disc swapping? Ala the old Final Fantasy games?
Like, when the game prompts you to change DVD, for example, from disc 1 to 2, will it let you save? And then you can continue from that save from disc 2?
Or not?
Thanks for any answer.

The minerals are the key aspect for most weapons, but you also pick up a couple of weapons to scan along the way, even on side-quest missions.

That IS what happened in my mind. Liara was totally just a fling to me.

If you buy fish, I think you need to feed them or they die. I bought fish once and when I finally remembered to check them, it said to clean the dead fish out of my tank. After that happens, Kelly offers to feed fish for you, so I guess you can buy fish safely after that.

Well not at bare minimum. Some of the developers at the Bioware forum talked about how they tested to see what the fewest number of loyal NPCs you needed to have everyone live. I believe they said 4 or 5 was the lowest they achieved it with. There's a ton of different combinations.

I remember barely 5 or 6 songs from Mass Effect not counting the ending song, and the good ones were rarely heard to me. Here I'm probably not going to remember most if any of the Mass Effect 2 soundtrack, but they did a much better job in actually having something exciting or entertaining playing most of the time during the game.
Barely ever heard any music during the "exploratory" parts of Mass Effect, since the fucking Mako was so goddamn loud and the music was so quiet on the non-story planets.
MisterAnderson said:
I usually go for the upgrade that is strong against 1 enemy instead of ok against many enemies, because I will always face at least 1 enemy but not always a cluster.
The only exception is Pull, because it's rather pointless to have 1 enemy float 3 seconds longer when I can make multiple enemies float.
Commander Shepard Is Still A Jerk :lol Also: Spoilers.

2 quick questions:
- Legion
-Romances
- Legion
So apparently an interal countdown timer occurs when you pick up Legion during the IFF mission(?). Is the loyalty quest for him unlocked automatically; or do i have to speak to him, do a mission, and unlock it?
Im only asking because i heard spending too long between the IFF mission and the final mission = higher chances of dead party members.

-Romances
Is it ever implied that Shepard is cheating on his/her partner from ME1? Do i have to worry about anything, or can i play ball?

You get it immediately after talking to him.
And yes, there are ramifications for picking up a love interest.

Wow. If you don't import a character then you cant talk with Mording about holding the line. Clearly rolling a new character in ME2 is a permanently gimped experience.

Can I have a clarification about my question from any of you that have owned this game? Or is this not the correct place to ask it...?

There's no warning when the two disc change happens.

you finish Horizon and you begin the final mission

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Restarted the suicide run due to my poor ammo management for the final battle, and managed to save everyone. Pretty easy actually.
Anyway, what do people want or the obvious DLC party member? There's a clear gap on the far right next to Jack where a 12th party member will go.

Really? I kept accidentally killing my fish, but whenever I went back, I could always buy more. Had you cleaned out the dead fish? You have to have a totally empty tank for them to reset I think.
It's interesting to read about Vanguards. Curious if they nerfed them because of how it seemed like EVERYBODY played one in ME1.
The dics change time is pretty wired this time. It happens after you finishedLaughing Banana said:

I haven't had this problem. I think you gotta choose the logical 3rd member. For instance, I took Miranda for the Jack mission and Tali for the Legion mission and there were some choice words lol
What's the infinite resources mod? I'm in my second playthrough and I do not look forward to scanning all those planets again

Quick question for someone starting the game:
What class do you think is best (partly subjective, obviously)? In the first, i played as Vanguard, so I feel like i should try something new. I was thinking Infiltrator or something, but I'm not sure which ones are good.

Sentinel. Tech Armor is by far the best ability in the game, especially if you want to draw aggro.

Does anyone know if you play through the game multiple times with the same character, you'll be able to get all the special weapons. So if I play through 3 times with a soldier, can I get the krogan shotgun, that super strong sniper rifle and the geth pulse rifle?

I would recommend Adept. As I said before, it starts off slow in terms of power but after 15 hours when you get the Assault Rifle and choose new Biotic abilities - you get the best of both worlds. Similar to Vanguard, except combat is more suited to medium-long range as opposed to short range combat.
Also, who is that girl in your avatar? Do you know her?
Jamesfrom818 said:
I was told in the affirmative

I thought Adepts can't use assault rifles? The class selection says pistols and submachine guns. And for my avatar, I don't know her personally. PM me if you want some info i guess.Meus Renaissance said:
Infiltrator sounds interesting. You can snipe long range or get up close and personal. Doesn't seem like they have too many good powers though.
