So I'm using a lady Shepard. Does anyone know which women characters are willing to lez out? The only one giving me any signals so far is the receptionist/psychologist.

Sadly, the receptionist is the only one and she doesn't count towards the Romance achievement. My femshep longs for Miranda's

God, so addicted to this game. Got back home and I ended up playing for two straight hours. Started a Adept on Insanity, gave him Slam, and it was surprisingly effective. Although every fight pretty much goes warp-warp-warp-warp-slam. But Warp is fun to play with though. In Archangel's mission, for example, I launched a Warp at the

and because it started moving as I fired it, Warp curved around the entire building and ended up hitting him on the other side.

Will probably hit up the prison next. I'm not looking forward to Horizon or the Krogan recruitment quest, though.

Buy it, they are hard to come by even amazon.com does not have any.

I actually have a copy I'm supposed to return to best buy lol

for the people who got the digital deluxe edition of ME2 from Steam: where do i get the digital art book? i have the zaeed, normandy and armor/weapons downloads but i don't know where to access the art book.

i'm 26 hours in and it's starting to feel like this might be the best game i've ever played.

 

[Wiggum2007]

I actually really like Grunt as a character, but both his acquisition and loyalty missions have been pretty dull compared to the rest of the game so far.

Dammit. I was hoping Miranda would be more open minded. Oh well, she has a big nose anyway.

Yeah I know. That's why I haven't done it yet. There's currently 4 CE's in my house (mine + 2 friends' + the 1 I'm supposed to return):lol

Beat the game on Veteran. It was awesome. I did everything I could, listened/talked till it looped total of 60 + hours. Full Paragon, all achievement except 3. Great game.

Sounds like my playthrough, cept I'm missing 2.

I'm sorry to have to ask this question (since it has probably already been answered and I couldn't find it in the OP) but if I lost my ME1 save file and am starting ME2, does it give me a question list I can use to rebuild the consequences of my choices?

No, and the default choices are all terrible, too.

The only explanations are either they're idling in the game a lot, scanning WAY too much, or reading every Codex entry (and are slow readers), because there is NOT 60 hours of content in a single playthrough of this game, not even close.

Based on my two runs, I'd say there's maybe 40 hours of game there if you do every hidden sidequest, get all upgrades, and Investigate everyone to death. If you get distracted by real life and leave the game on, obviously your clock is going to read a bit longer like mine did. My Insanity run was around 30 hours, though I didn't do everything and X buttoned my way through conversations/cutscenes toward the end, it wouldn't have added another 30 hours to my game clock.

What the crap, one of my friends just told me the choices it defaults to. :lol

It is so not worth it. Terrible choices or not, they barely affect the game.

 

[kiryogi]

so backtracking on earlier complaints. Is it really fair to hold up me2 to dragon age in standards? I feel that they have different focuses for each title. I mean the character banter would be nice., but that's not what the focus in mass effect is. Tho. I believe the character development here is beyond what me1 offered tho. That said. I absolutely am enjoying me2 and like it a ton more than the first

Dude, ME2 is ALL about the characters.

Buy all rights, this game should have MORE banter.

There was more character banter in the elevator of ME1 then exists in ME2, no reason they could not have continued it. Your party is kind of lifeless when the characters running around with you do not speak except in cutscenes and activated events

 

[charlequin]

After grinding through all the loyalty missions... Is it just me, or does almost every fucking companion in this game have daddy issues? Or is the cause of some?

:lol

Yeah, you get to the loyalty mission part of the game and all of a sudden it's like it's being written by the creators of LOST. :lol I think there's only three missions out of the seven that don't involve parental issues, and one's about adolescence and another's about a protege.

Replay ME1 first before playing ME2 otherwise you'll really notice how torturous and crap the combat and mako exploration of ME1 is.

1st time I played ME1 it was fine, but after playing ME2, replaying ME1 is such a chore.

I actually have seen that there's an ME1 save editor out there somewhere. I think there may already be an ME2 editor/trainer as well. :lol

When all else fails, nail a character with family issues.



I had several unread messages after I finished the last mission, some of them being new mission messages. I didn't bother to read them because I never really do, and just assumed they would update to my journal. I even got the pop-ups for the journal/mission updates that come up on the right side of the screen. But nothing is in the journal and nothing is on the galaxy map.

Did you check the archived messages?

 

[ToyMachine228]

Just finished the game for the first time. I really enjoyed it but like some of the reviews, I'm not sure the story really moved very far. Regardless, I really enjoyed the game and will definitely be playing through a second time. A lot of the new characters that I didn't think I'd like I actually ended up liking.

Spoiler

I was pissed that Jack randomly died on the final mission though. It's not like I made a decision pertaining to her, she just happened to be in my squad and pulled away by the stupid swarm. Was a pretty cheap death and one that I will be very disappointed with if I can't use her in ME3 as she was one of my favorite squadmates to bring along

I went Paragon overall by quite a bit but still gave in to a few Renegade options here and there. One of my complaints that remains from the first game is that the dialogue options you have to choose from don't always indicate exactly what you're going to say or do. I'll choose to say something that sounds like what I'd like to do and something completely different comes out. Regardless of a few minor complaints, a great, great game. Definitely playing through again.

 

[Justin]

I am doing Miranda's loyalty mission and got to a part where I need to get on a elevator. Problem is that the elevator is locked and I cant find a way in. The ship AI said something about hacking into it but nothing happened after that. Is this a bug or am I missing something?

Yeah, that's my biggest complaint with the game. I became attached to the characters and they really made me feel like I was in the ME world, but every time I would try to talk to them and they wouldn't say anything, it would chip away at the illusion. I couple hundred lines of extra dialogue (or more than one loyalty mission per character) would have done wonders for this game.

If you tell Conrad to get lost before the culmination of the crazy, he says "I'LL SHOW YOU" and then you hear a news report on an elevator saying that a crazy human attacked a bunch of turians and got shot to death.

Finished my infiltrator playthrough on veteran.

Itching to play some of the other classes. Heard vanguard was one of the hardest classes to play so quite interested in that as well.

Other than that, anyone played Engineers or Adepts in veteran or hardcore difficulty yet?
Are they pretty fun to play?

Chose to preserve the Collector's base. I don't know why really, I think it was because I was 100% renegade and for my next playthrough as paragon I will definitely destroy it... Will be extremely interesting to see how this works out in ME3 since it's such a HUGE thing.
