Depends on your definition of being a dick to your crew is, but you can be a renegade and still have full loyalty. You just have to realize that being a renegade is all about being a dick.
You can also generally be either a paragon or a renegade and still make the occasional opposite choice. I was a total paragon and I still
jammed the prod the guy's back, kicked the other guy through the window, blew the Krogan up, and shot Conrad in the foot.
Of course, I imported a 100% paragon, so I had a leg up to start with.

Tell me I'm not the only one who noticed Miranda's horrible teeth. She's genetically designed to be the perfect woman, but they forget to get her braces? Everyone else's teeth are perfect! tha fuck?

He's talking about the VA.
I love the interrupt system for this reason. You can still experience renegade moves while being paragon overall.
Unfortunately, though, it seems to be that most paragon interrupts are only loyalty-mission based, while renegades had more impact game-wise.

I know, I just meant being a dick to everyone not on the ship or will it require too many paragon points. However, as long as I can get their loyalty hat should be enough.
I also love the renegade interrupts. They are so ridiculously fun.

All romance-able team members from ME1 can not join your party in ME2. That's not to say that they're not in this game. (If they survived)
Pretty much everything you do in ME1 will have some affect on ME2. And later, ME3.

Speaking of music, is the piano bit that plays near the beginning of this scene from ME1 as well? It's the "sad romance" music you get if you talk to Thane:

What are good powers to concentrate on for an engineer? I've been upgrading Combat Drone, but it doesn't seem to be as useful as I'd like.

You don't have to. You can paragon yourself his loyality too.

Been playing on Insanity with mine, and explosive drone has been pretty useful. Pop one in a crowd of enemies and they'll be occupied trying to kill it. The Attack drone can damage with its laser, but the damage it deals is too low and the area of effect damage from the explosive drone is far more useful, imo.
I just focused on drone-reave-tech mastery, for now. Just finished

Need some clarification, guys, with respect to love interests and savegames. I want to get back with Ashley in the final game, but Ive already began warming things up with Tali.
So Im wondering if I can get with Tali, then do a secod playthrough with the same Sheperd and get with nobody, and use that Shepard for ME3.
Basically the question boils down to: can you beat the game several times with one Shepard and have access to each unique playthrough for importing your character into ME3?

Loving the game soooo much! Playing with my Vanguard using the shockwave to go bowling for foes. I hurl one over my head not realizing he was cloaked he lands behind me and shoots the crap out my back making me go red eye. Just as I'm about to die my squad mate levitates the enemy into the air and I proceed to unleash the tempest and incinerate him into oblivion! Bliss!!!

I believe the save system is like ME's import, where yes, each individual completion of the game should create a new end-game save file.
However, I'm not certain, as I haven't tried the 'import ME2 character' yet.

Incinerate. Incinerate. Incinerate.
Did I mention Incinerate?
Seriously, Incinerate and Overload should be your bread and butter.
You can pretty safely ignore Cryo Blast (only affects enemies with no protections whatsoever and takes way too long to take effect....you've probably already killed them by the time they're frozen). It might have been more useful if you totally upgraded it and made it an area attack, but that seems to me to just be points that could be better spent elsewhere.
AI Hacking is also useful.
The drone is extremely useful early on, but I found myself using it less and less the further I went. I'd definitely recommend Explosive Drone over Attack Drone. The drone's attack is just way too slow to actually make too much of a dent.

Patryn said:
Anythign that affects enemy shields or barriers or armor is what you want most.
Combat drone is underpowered, from my experience, and cryo, as was said, takes too long.
IMO, AI hacking got nerfed since it requires enemy shields to be down before you can hack in the first place.
Granted, it'd be OP as all hell otherwise with the reduced cooldown times, but it just seems like too much work (at least on non insanity) when you can just kill them faster with overload or incinerate.
Plus, there are a lot more non-geth enemies in this game, and I dunno if hacking a mech would be worth it.

Should I respec my soldier remove all points I put into disruptor and incendiary since I have Warp ammo now?
Do all the armor upgrades apply to DLC armor as well?
or just the base N7 armor
The medigel upgrade seems to be working for my inferno armor.
I was thinking of one mission in particular. I was on an N7 mission looking for a downed freighter. I get assaulted by (functionally) infinite mechs. I can stop/start their spawn point on a side of the map, but to do that I have to charge the other side and leave myself exposed until I'm out of the trigger zone.
I also just cloak dashed to the shuttle at the end of the map.
Thank you!
yes!

Bear in mind that Warp gives an overall bonus, but the bonus itself is not very large. Disruptor is more specialized, Incendiary a little less, but they give higher damage bonuses respectively. I found the two ammo types of the most use was Shredder and Incendiary. Shredder is nice against the Collectors.
Just don't sink any points into adrenaline rush. A waste of a skill.

Oh really, why's that? Is it just bullet time, and adding points extends it?
I imagined it slowed down the world, but not you, which means you'd get much higher damage output when it's on.

You can
choose to save the guys in the plant, let Zaeed's target get away, let Zaeed pwn himself, then be mean to him (in a well-earned way), and still get his loyalty if you've got even a slightly decent Paragon score.

Wat.
Adrenaline Rush once you get either of the heightened versions can save your ass when trying to get to cover or set up a sniper shot.
Granted, it's not perfect, but as a Soldier, you only need 2 ammo types and the max soldier passive bonus. concussive shot is fun, but far from really being useful.
IMO, Disruptor ammo isn't AS good as Incendiary because you face more "people" enemies as opposed to mechs.
I used Warp ammo and incendiary with the Assault Rifle/LMG, and did just fine.

Adding points only lessens the recharge iirc, Don't know if theres added bonus if you max it out.
Edit:
Also the Asari you meet in ME2 just shows how disappointingly plain Liara(looks/design) was in ME1 imho.

Metroidvania said:
The duration of it was so short, that I just went ahead and pumped my ammo powers and put some points into concussive shot for a quick higher damage shot. Combined that with fortification as my bonus.
Metroidvania said:
I'm not saying Warp sucks. On the contrary, because it has a larger umbrella of targets that makes it more useful. And disruptor is not as used as the other two, but is awful nice to have around when fighting mechs/geth. BTW, any idea where Husks fall into that category? I think its synthetic, but I don't know. Used incendiary for them usually.
For some reason, whenever I go to load up my level 30 Vanguard for new game+, the game freezes on me during the Lazarus Project cutscene. It does it at the same exact spot over and over again (I've tried it 3 times, and it's froze at the exact same spot all 3 times).
Has anyone else encountered this?

Ugh- any tips for beating
on insanity? My allies die within seconds regardless of where I place them and I can't survive the second wave. It seems there's no safe cover. I've spent so much time just chipping away at these guys with warp, but I can't make it through. I'm at level 17, for reference. Decided to take Mordin and the hot chick. I'm an adept and I
but that doesn't help me at all. I can't stay alive long enough to fire a shot.

I've encountered this glitch as well, which is why I switched to import my vanguard rather than play through the soldier again.
Is it right when the screen changes to show the "head"/brain?
