You mean a gay tailor?
My strategy was always crowd control. Singularity + pull were great for picking and isolating priorities. Warp was epic for splitting apart large groups that were netted up. Had barrier as my bonus talent, saved my ass dozens of times. Couldn't imagine switching it out for anything else.Mindlog said:
I wish I'd tried shockwave out but never had the chance. Singularity insta-kills husks, though, which seemed like enough to edge out shockwave IMO.
After 29 hours i have finally finished. Yays. It was a great experience overall. The ending segment was a little eh, it was intense but i hated that i couldn't save during it at all :lol . Full paragon, vanguard, did everything 100% as i have no real intention of playing through a second time.
As for how it ended for me, along with some ending opinions.
Time to backup my ME2 save and wait for ME3

Jacob and Zaeed died, Everyone else survived. I blew up the ship and i believe i told the illusive man to bugger off, He wasn't happy so i assume that's what happened.
What was with having to fight the terminator 2 guy with 3 eyes? That seems so pointless. I was happy to have planted the bomb and have a cutscene of us getting out of there to happen. But i'm forced to fight a "boss"

Can you only have a romance with one character? I unintentionally hit on Garrus. Did not want that to happen.

Wat!?
I would love to comment on the Legion/Solo thing, but I think it ran its course.
Anyway put me in the ME2>ME1 camp.
I loved both games, but I think I enjoyed my time with ME2 more. I do think the music in ME1 was definitely better and more memorable, plus I miss how the mission were larger and longer. The Mako is something they should have improved upon.
But ME2 had the characters, loyalty missions, better gameplay, better weapons, better graphics(not by a large margin though), and to tell you the truth I enjoyed the story here more. The Illusive Man is fucking awesome even though
I told him to fuck off
Can not wait for ME3, it has to be fall next year. Or some heads are gonna roll.

Garrus is awesome, but that seems like an unwanted sex scene. Would much rather have Miranda (dat ass) or TaliDresden said:

Also, lesbians.
I'm confused. I'm talking about ME2.AniHawk said:

Just did the Tali mission with Garrus and Zaeed and holy shit both of them with upgraded snipers wreck all kind of havoc! I tore through the mission so easily it was crazy :lol

I have no idea. I'm currently using a save from the saves database for ME2. I lost my own personal save file. What does that matter for ME2 if I want Miranda/Tali?AniHawk said:
Edit - Just read the database. Says romanced with Kaiden, but sacrificed Kaiden on Virmire. So my ME2 save should have started out romanceless? Regardless, can I have a romance with more than one member, and if not, will the Garrus thing ruin it all?
Think I'm going to ditch this Infiltrator Insanity run. Terribly boring. Guns in general are boring.
I think I'll give another shot at an Adept run... hmm. Reave for bonus skill, maybe. That means I'll be skipping Warp/Throw, though, so it'd be Area Reave-Area Singularity-Pull Field? Or maybe barrier, although I don't like shield skills.

I can't have an ME2 romance? What is this crap? I didn't romance anyone in ME1 in my personal save, I think. Wanted to do it here.AniHawk said:

Question about Jack's loyalty:
I am at the
. I am at what looks to be about 79% Paragon. That means I don't have the option to persuade Jack to
. If I go forward with my current mission, will I have a chance to raise my Paragon before it's too late? I've looked all over for side missions that raise Paragon, but all I'm getting is EXP!
Thanks!
I am at the
IFF retrieval mission from the Reaper ship
become loyal again
Thanks!

If you're female shepard, your options are Jacob, Thane, and Garrus. And Kelly.
If you're male shepard, your options are Miranda, Tali, and Jack. And Kelly.
If you don't have a romantic option, Shepard drunkenly leads a bunch of confused crewmates to certain doom.

Well shit. Romances never go well for me in these games.AniHawk said:
As a female Shepard, I don't want any of them. Garrus and Thane are awesome. But I wouldn't want to romance either of them. I'm indifferent to Jacob. Kelly is that annoying bitch that every time she says something, I want to tell her to shut the fuck up.

Finally beat it.
The first Mass Effect was one of my favorites, and this tops it significantly. People may argue that the story in the first one was better, but the storytelling itself blew the first one out of the water. It felt like watching a season of a decent sci-fi show, as opposed to a really long movie.
Pros:
Cons:

Pros:
- Krogan Wisdom: "A gun is better than a fish."
- Blue cleavage
- Shepard kicks a space dog-lizard in the face
Cons:
- Minature ship-avatar not as fun as Spore's.
- Fish kept dying like I just won it at the carnival by getting the ping pong ball into the bowl. I paid over 7000 credits for you, you fucking fish!
- No Space-Rugby game on planet Invictus.

Why is ME1 PC such a buggy POS?
On top of having to go through such crap combat, annoying loot, crap mako, tediously long elevators, I have to contend with so many bugs in ME1 PC.
Demiurge studios should really die for the abysmal porting they did for ME1.
What a crappy piece of shitty port.

OK, I'm really getting into the game now. Still very early on, but I see huge potential. A couple questions:
What is the significance of Paragon/Renegade exactly? I'm beginning to understand how I get one or the other. I had one interesting conversation where I received +3 Renegade and +5 Paragon simultaneously. I'm not very consistent... was a callous dick to this one guy, but then decided to administer medicine to relieve his pain :lol But my question is: so what? If I'm more Renegade, are people more likely to do what I say? If I'm more Paragon, are people more likely to give me discounts or secret information? I'm guessing the game is well-balanced so neither is BEST, but I don't yet understand what the implications are so I'm pretty random in my choices.
If this is something that is eventually explained or becomes clear, then never mind.
Also, how does loyalty work? Is it random or do I influence who is loyal to me and who isn't?
My fear is that these are elements from ME1 and I'm just a little behind since I've never played it.

Just started a new profile as an infiltrator on insanity. Wow, what a difference from playing as an adept. After the intro I checked and then rechecked my difficulty setting to make sure I didn't accidentally move it down to normal. Infiltrator gets shit done :lol
This also marks the first time I've been able to zoom with a sniper in a ME title. It is glorious.

Shepard is essentially a good character. Choosing Paragon or Renegade decides whether Shepard is lawful good (upholds the law and all that) or chaotic good (will do anything to complete the mission).Socreges said:
Which pick whichever you find more interesting.
Loyalty is basically decided whether you've completed a character's personal mission. Completing the mission means the character has put their personal matters at rest, and is ready to put his life on the line to carry out the missionSocreges said:

What set up do you recommend to beat Insanity?
Socreges said:
If you're a dick to EVERYONE (including teammates), I don't think you're able to do their loyalty quests. You need to talk to a teammate. If you keep talking to them, you'll get an option on the map that says "Help Soandso". Complete the mission (you can fail some), and you'll make someone loyal to you. You can check in the character selection screen by pressing X to check their loyalty. It's either normal or loyal so you should know.
The renegade/paragon stuff really isn't that important. It's just there so it makes you feel more in control of a conversation, but 90% of the time they do the same exact thing.
I know you weren't asking me, but after playing as an adept, sentinel, and infiltrator, I have to say go with infiltrator all the way. Playing as an adept was the most tactical of the three, but also (by far) the most difficult. Sentinel is a lot more versatile and will stay alive long enough to pull through most battles-- you'll just have to drag things out a little bit. But the infiltrator simply tears through any and all opposition. Invisibility is easily one of the best abilities in the game, allowing you time to escape dangerous situations (enemies instantly stop shooting at you), or line up a perfect head shot with your ridiculously powerful sniper rifle. Plus all the infiltrator's abilities recharge quickly and they're built to cut through situations most other classes aren't equipped to deal with (having anti-synthetic, anti-personnel, and anti-armor abilities by default).Domino Theory said:

God damn, I wasn't ready for the next story mission. I expected
There was a single enemy left...and I fucked up.
:lol
the rotating platform part of the collector's ship to be hard on insane, but this is ridiculous. I wish the game didn't force when you do these, I wanted to get someone else beforehand.

Harbringer is a cheap motherfucker right now. Oh my god. So I cheaped back, and brought the blackstorm with me and took out the whole horde of collector's. Now that part was easy.

It has a bearing on the ending, so having character's who are loyal is helpful.
Also, gaining a character's loyalty allows you to unlock a new power for them.
