There's a scanner upgrade and a probe upgrade. After you get those, just put on some tunes and grab a beer and dedicate an hour to scanning planets and you'll be fine.The Shift said:

About halfway through I started only scanning planets that were Rich as opposed to Good or Rich (never bothered with anything less). Still had more than enough resources for every upgrade.The Lamonster said:
Nah, I think it says that you should listen to her when she talks to you when you're on-planet.
But EDI has some good stuff to say after the game is over and you continue. Highly recommend talking to her afterwards.

Once I hit Omega 4, that's it, right? It's just suicide mission and the ending?

Kind of looking forward to the Mass Effect 3 just so I can play all three games in a row.
After you go through the relay yeah. But once you finish the suicide mission you can keep exploring and doing everything else just like before.brandonh83 said:
Got a question about the upgrades you purchase at the shops: Do you find most of these upgrades during recruitment missions and loyalty quests? Are there any upgrades that you can only obtain through the stores?
I did. It was rough, but I got through it. Got all but two Achievements in one run.RTS83 said:

Ah okay, cool. How long are the events after you hit the relay? Is it a pretty long endgame with a bunch of storyline revelations and stuff?
Someone need to rip the fuck out of the music files in ME2. The official soundtrack are missing a lot of the ambient music, ie. the ominous loading screen music, and the club songs should definitely be available (I know, they are from other EA Games, but it would still be nice to listen to them).

I wish. Probably about an hour or less depending on the difficulty. Its an ok ending but nothing major.brandonh83 said:

Yeah I screwed up by doing all the missions/extras so I have nothing but scanning multiple 0% systems before the Omega 4 jump. Have bought/unlocked pretty much all the upgrades in the shops too so I guess I will concentrate on getting all that sorted out. Great game though - mini games/space flight feel unnecessary to a degree.

I want to know about upgrades found on missions. What if I miss something? Will it ever be available again?Sai said:

At last, Collectors Edition is out in Spain.
One week more waiting, and they even did not translate the artbook or the comic. Fuck you EA!

How do side quests work here? Are they assigned through email or do i have to randomly explore worlds (docking and walking) and hope to find quests?
I've gained 3 members to my cause though it feels like i've just started the game. I only have one left and i suppose im jumping into the red relay. Is this game longer than ME1?

I don't mind scanning all that much but I just wished that it would move faster and the targeting reticule was larger. Fewer but larger deposits would be good too.

No, it's that dark and brooding ambient synth music whenever the loading screen pops up. The Collector Base is a general "song" that is played during the game. Like some Raison d'Etre or Gustaf Hildebrand.
Regarding the Club songs, Afterlife's music is taken from Need For Speed: High Stakes, called "Calista" by Saki Kaska.

Did you import a character?Second said:
I avoided almost all of the assignments unrelated to the hub worlds until after I beat the game, and I was still able to hit 29.
DLC gives you the Normandy Crash Site, and Zaeed's loyalty mission, which is worth like... One level's worth of XP, I think.

Yeah, there's not much left. Hour, hour and a half tops. That's one thing that disappointed me the most. I expected a much more substantial suicide mission part. I actually breezed through the last part on insanity with my adept.
Zaeed and Mordin tear the shit out of the collectors with their max fire attacks.

Yeah, I did but scanning is still a bitch.

I love 'em. I want a badass Shep, and you can't get much more badass than looking like a Terminator.
Their was one scene where that look was just absolutely crazy. Jack's loyalty mission
where she is debating on whether to kill one of her past prison mates. She asks you if she should pull the trigger and Shepard just looks at her with those glowing red eyes and says "You're a killer, Jack. That's what you you." BAM. Point blank execution style head shot. Pretty intense stuff.

Just decided to stop by GameStop for the hell of it since I was out running an errand and try asking to see if they had any spare Terminus codes. The clerk did and gave me one my DLC collection is now complete!
Also, I just found out that Tricia Helfer is the voice of EDI. Now whenever she speaks I get turned on.

I'm pretty sure they put more than 5 of each upgrade scattered throughout the galaxy. Whenever you scan a research terminal and you get a ton of cash for it, that would have been a tech upgrade had you not already had it (I am pretty sure). Also, you oftentimes find or are rewarded with upgrades for completing optional side anomaly missions so just explore with the Normandy whenever you get a chance.
