You can look at their "skills" on the squad selection screen. It gives you an indication of their class.
Unlike in the first game, your teammates don't have the same classes as offered to the player. They're all weird hybrids.
In fact, the only unique class ability that any party members have is the drone, so don't expect to see a squad member with charge or tech armor or what have you.

So I'm a little confused on some of late game recruitment/loyalty quests (Tali and
)
Legion
I don't want anyone to die on my Paragon playthrough (on Renegade I'll just let it play out however). I've also read that Tali's loyalty quest has extra dialogue if you take Legion. But you don't get Legion until the IFF mission and you don't have much time after that. So my question is...is it possible to get Legion and do both his and Tali's loyalty missions without losing anyone or should I just do Tali's before and just rush to the end once I get Legion? Do I even have time to do Legion's loyalty mission?
I started a second character. I thought it said it would carry over my heavy weapons, I was really tired so I might have misread it. Now, if I pick Advaned Training again in the Lab area, will that over write the one I got to pick when I created my character or will I be able to learn a new one, making for 2 bonus bowers? Last, can I ever learn to use a new gun? I picked Adept and all I can use is SMG/Pistol, I'd like to try the AR.

If you picked adept, you should have been able to learn a secondary weapon skill on your first playthrough while on the
Deserted Collector ship
And I recall reading that you can get a "starting" bonus power AND a new secondary power, yes. But I'm not certain.
Question about the end of the game:
Without revealing spoilers (since I'm not there yet), does it matter where you've built up your squad members' skills pertaining to whether or not they stay alive? I'm noticing several of them have talents you can invest in to build up their health, and I'm just wondering if this has any effect on their survival.

I'm always low on credits. Any suggestions? I'm almost done with all the loyalty missions and I generally don't have a lot of credits to buy all the upgrades from shops. How can I get more? I've been doing side missions and such also.
Maybe I need to stop buying hamsters and shit?

Whelp...I decided to make a alternate character starting from ME1 that I will carry over to ME2 and eventually ME3 after beating the game with my main.
And I decided to go with Han solo shepard. A guy who is a renegade but still does the right thing in the end....for example...he will disconnect/hang up on the council whenever they talk to him...but he will save them in the end. Cause while he is an asshole...he still does the right thing in the end.
what's funny is shepard's voice sounds a tiny bit like harrison ford's

Agreed with the silent protagonist part. In FPS it's okay with me, when it's done like in Half Life 2 where you usually don't actually see yourself. But when you play in 3rd person all the time it's awkward.Enosh said:
I also prefer the female Shepard's voice acting but I don't think the male one is bad at all. The delivery is sometimes a little too unemotional, that's all.

So I just realized that I'm nearing completing my squad points and I fucked up my Miranda (Put too many in Slam, I got hasty when I unlocked it and dumped lots of points into it thinking it was going to be awesome and it really isn't). In my newgame+ will it let me re-allocate skill points to the squad?
Draft said:
Had this exact same isssue. I thought at first it was my headphones or a plug got loose.
I also had a bug with the mission delivering stuff to Ish. I went and talked to him, took the boyscout route and told him off, but the mission is still active, telling me to go and talk to him (but he's not there).

I've been debating what route to go with my second playthrough (currently male paragon vanguard, original I know) and all the femShep love is making me think its the only way to go. Renegade femShep infiltrator to mix things up.
Draft said:
Same thing happened to me. Luckily I had subs on.
Another bug I ran into was happened was when I was
interrogating that guy during Thane's mission, I couldn't get the Paragon option to work. Both good cop and bad cop led me to renegade interrupts. I even tried the "what plan?" option and it didn't work either.
And another glitch that happened was in the
big room with the Geth Collossus right before you rescure Tali I died a few times there but restarted and took my time and killed the Collossus and mopped up the straglers and was done, only to find one lone scrup geth standing there doing nothing. The red box would appear on him and my squads mates would shoot him but he wouldn't fight back, no health bar would appear and he wouldn't die. Which meant I couldn't open the door to get Tali. I shockwaved him all the way across that arena and nothing would happen.
And I've flown to the ceiling twice in the game. I would walk close to a wall and then all of a sudden I would start floating up and get stuck.

Goddamn, Vanguard is so fucking fun if you go the Champion route. Your power cooldown bonus lets you bounce around the battlefield wreaking havoc. Max charge + Champion is highly recommended by me.

The second day I was playing, clicked the button for "Friends Playing Mass Effect 2," and literally every single person was a Vanguard or Infiltrator. :lol
Patryn said:
Well, there's actually three: your starting weapon, the upgrade you find on a mission, and then the extra-powerful class-upgrade weapon. But I agree, it's still not enough.
I actually have no problem with the research system for weapons entirely replacing finding individual guns as loot, but I'd really prefer it to be much beefier. Maybe 4-5 guns to choose from for each category, all with different stat qualities that are explicitly listed (clip size, firing speed, armor penetration, damage, etc.) It'd be great if they could bring back weapon-upgrades like the first game too, either researched or looted, so I could pick whether I wanted to use pistol X with extra damage or extra clip size or whatever.
If they did that for ME3, I'd be totally happy.
Cep said:
Wow. Yeah. Actually. Exactly this, pretty much.
MegaKungFuRadio said:
Insanely so.
I'm really happy with almost every other weapon option (pistols are powerful and fun to use, the second submachine gun is extraordinarily useful, the sniper rifle is fun as hell) but I'm really pissed that the shottie is so nerfed.
Inferno313 said:
Well... we're not talking about "a" video game, we're talking about Mass Effect 2.
I think generally speaking the ME2 squad is awesome (way better than the team in the first game), the loyalty missions are quite excellent, and the character-driven aspect of the game is a success, but it comes at the expense of a far more anemic plot than the first game. In ME1 you meet your primary antagonist early on, build a personal grudge against him, and are always running up against his negative actions in every plot mission you do. In ME2 it's really hard to care in comparison. Weaving the Collectors into the story of the recruitment/loyalty missions or inserting more plot missions into the game would've helped tremendously.
Draft said:
Oh man I've gotta try this on my second playthrough. I looked at the options, remembered how crappy my regular shotgun was, and audibled into the Use Pull And Sniper Rifle From A Distance build.
Palette Swap said:
No, that was definitely on purpose. There's also a Firefly reference in the Zaeed DLC, and other references to big sci-fi works sprinkled throughout the game.
And in ME1 the scientists at the beginning say "thank the Maker." Although that didn't prepare me for the biggest reference to Babylon 5 in Mass Effect which is the entire universe design and plot. :lol
BenjaminBirdie said:
I don't think 90% of the decisions from ME1 called for anything more than what they did in ME2 to call back to them (and several of them, like the reporter and Conrad are actively awesome) but I'd say some of the big decisions -- especially the council and who survives the first game -- are trivialized.

Yup; after finding the combat medicore with Vanguard on Normal I went Renegade Female Shepard Infilitrator on Second Playthrough. It's a thousand times more rewarding and enjoyable. The only caveat being that I'm scared to be Renegade towards my squad-mates for fear of disloyalty.Sir Garbageman said:

That's funny. The bug I had for that was that it didn't react at all when I attacked it. I killed it right away before
I even talked to the Quarian guy. I went down and had the conversation about him not throwing his life away anyway. Didn't make much sense.

That's not a bug. You
only have a renegade interrupt option because the only way to interrupt is to hit the guy. However, if you have Thane be the Bad Cop (at least, it might work the other way too) you can use the Paragon dialogue options and eventually intimidate the guy enough that he spills.

I found Vanguard to be not that great early on but extremely rewarding later on. Having a fucking blast with my Vanguard, but planning on Infiltrator next. Actually considering playing through ME1 again as a female renegade Shepard since unfortunately ME2 doesn't let you choose your past choices if you start from scratch. Maybe I'll just use a female save game from that website.

Thane would start beating on the guy and I'd use Paragon interrupt to stop him and be the Good cop. I didn't notice there being any difference in the two options, but again, I had to sit through a good 10 minutes or so before I could do it over.
