cant i just start a newgame with my sheppard from the save file just before the
? or do i have to finish the entire game again that way too ? im thinking about the decisions in line of
and all that... do they have an impact at all in ME2 ? cause if dont finish the game again id never make them, right ? :-/ its just weird to not have a savefile AFTER you finished the game, or maybe there is, i dont know, all i know is that if i click "continue" im at the
.
fight with saren
who should take charge of the council
citadel before the last fight
pablitomm_uy said:
A NG+ starts at the beginning of the game. There is no way to skip anything. You either revert to an earlier save or start back at the beginning.
Also: Your decisions in ME1 mean very little to almost nothing in ME2. A few dialogues change, but nothing major at all.
They may mean more in ME3 (but I doubt it).

oh god.. what did i just read..............dankir said:I just finished it, what an ending. The whole suicide mission was great especially the sequence leading up to it and the mission itself.
Fucking Amazing Bioware, going to start my insanity run right now
I beat ME1 close to a week ago and just beat ME2. With the memory of ME1 still fresh, I have to say that they are equally great games (sans Graphics of course).
ME1 was a bit frustrating for me because I played Adept; the Adept seemed really weak in the very beginning and fighting the final boss.
I tried Soldier in ME2 and I have really enjoyed it. In short, it dominates and there isn't a single scenario in which it feels weak.
My ending:
GAF, did I rush through the game?
My character ended with:
All loyalty missions complete
Finished Sniper and Assault upgrade
Level 24
A little over the last black bar on renegade
20.5 hours

My ending:
Everyone survived for me, and I told the Illusive Man to fuck off. I think I'll replay at a harder difficulty.

Kind of, yes, you did rush. I'm guessing you missed most of the N7 missions (anomaly planet) missions?
If you do those, you should finish at about level 25 or 26 if you either didn't import or imported a character below 50, level 28 if you imported a level 50-59 character, and level 30 if you imported a level 60 character.

Just finished Tali's loyalty mission. Very heartfelt.
So far, I've clocked in 45 hours.

Regardless, it would be a bit annoying to play the game one way, then jump into ME2 with default Shepard and be wondering why the heck Wrex and The Council aren't around. Plus you miss all of the little rewarding parts like meeting old characters you've saved, hearing from them in e-mails, and getting extra missions or dialogue sequences because of how you interacted with them in the first.Patryn said:
I know I was quite surprised to see Fist again, since he seemed to me like a throw-away character that Bioware probably wouldn't have taken the time to bring back. Especially considering that a lot of people probably didn't even know there was a way to keep him alive or bothered to try (In ME1, Wrex kills him automatically even if you don't).

I think they overdid this actually, I swear every damn place you went was absolutely crawling with returning insignificant minor characters from ME1. I'm traveling across the whole galaxy how do I keep running into these people!? I guess after gimping the impact of major choices from the first game in ME2, they decided that something needed to transfer over so they just brought back a bunch of the one-off characters.

I would love to see Kasumi added to the team within the coming weeks. I don't think Casey would be showcasing just her though and hammerhead. There's no way BioWare would force people to sit through a demonstration of just those two additions -- but hey, I'm just guessing. It's too bad I'm not taking their meeting since I'm only attending GDC for the first day.
I finally got through Horizon on insanity. WOW! What an awesome battle. My attitude went from wanting to hurl my controller through the floor to China to feeling like I actually accomplished something getting through that battle.
So excited to get going again after my workout tonight.

thresher maw?
So lately I haven't been getting the majority of the extra Paragon (blue) and Renegade (red) options. I see them, but they're not selectable. Obviously I haven't got enough of either on the meter. Is this because I've got the two too balanced (both are at about the same point)? Should I have upgrade to Shock Trooper 4 sooner? Or is there something else I might be missing?
Most of these instances are conversations that I can return to, so maybe it's meant to be that way. But others I won't be able to try again as they're one-off types.

No.. managed to do that without dying on Insanity.
I mean:
First time you fight on the floating hexagons.
Shooting the core thing with all the zombies when you get the IFF.
The lead up area to the boss fight where there are some instances of double Scion + Harbinger and very little cover.
Well, I just finished my Vanguard Insanity run tonight and no achievement. I'm so upset right now. It took me forever to get through and there's no way I changed the difficulty at any point. I remember each fight and how difficult it was. I would know if I'd accidentally changed the setting. This really sucks.

Wow, as a Vanguard? Just curious, did you New Game+ and change the difficulty through that, or do it from a clean slate?

I did it by importing a Mass Effect 1 character, so I started at level 5. I also had beaten the game already, so I got mineral bonuses and XP bonuses. I had it set to Insanity from the beginning. I specifically remember being reckless in the beginning and dying over and over, so it was definitely Insanity through and through.
I felt so happy when I finally beat it, but then devastated once the achievement didn't pop. I'm so pissed off.
Just thinking back on all the parts that were frustrating, like the
Collector's ship
Probably a stupid question, but what're the bare minimum requirements for beating the game? Does anyone have to survive? And what's the easiest class to blaze through it with? I'm guessing Infiltrator... or Sentinel.
I think I realized what I did.
There was a point where I went into game options to tally off the party power usage and I accidentally flicked the game to Casual, but I did not save. I exited out, then went back in (still read Insanity) and changed the party power preferences. I'm not even positive if this happened on this playthrough or my Normal one, but it's the only thing that I can think of to explain it (since there's no bug to be found through searches).
That alone must have fucked up my playthrough. Miserable.

The very first option when loading games in the middle of a mission even after you've beaten it is to restart the current mission.
How do you guys walk along the environment to get stuck on things like that? I haven't had it happen to me once yet.
Mass Effect on Insanity is tough fun.
Mass Effect 2 on Insanity is much less enjoyable.
The enemies take too many bullets to down which is a killer considering how ammo starved you are at the start of the game (e.g. primary weapon only holds 10 bullets). It'll get easier when I get my character some ammo+ upgrades plus a better weapon with a naturally higher clip capacity...but at the point that I'm at it's all frustration all the time.
Tearing down an enemy's Barrier, then Armor, only to have them survive multiple headshots with a sniper rifle is a wee bit aggravating in a game where the difficulty is as front-loaded as it is in this game.
Also, team AI is retarded. If you don't tell them to take cover they stand in the middle of an arena for a few seconds (losing their barrier in the process) and then slowly walk over to cover only to pop out of cover later and again stand in the middle of an arena. If you DO tell them to take cover, you still have to deal with their pitifully slow treck to their cover position.
These are things that were always present, just never as visible, on earlier difficulties.

There where some low laying pipes in the Krogan homeworld that I wanted to climb over. When I touched them my character began to float up to the cieling. Save-->Load didn't fix it. Wish I saved before that happened because it was after an annoying fight with infinitely respawning Krogans.Skilotonn said:

I'm still on my second play through, taking my time. Trying to pick up a bunch of achievements I didn't get the first run. Trying to get Warp Specialist right now, but every time I use warp on a barrier, my achievement tracker isn't updating like it did with the others. Am I doing something wrong? I'm making sure it destroys the Barrier too. I'm using Miranda's Unstable Warp ability.

God damn the Joker section! It is SHEER trial-and-error without a fucking map. I don't know where the fuck to go in Engineering. I followed the floor lights and wandered into a scion. Worst fucking game decision yet.
