Should I import my lvl 55 or should I start a new game? I want to import him because he's awesome, but I fucking killed Wrex on that playthrough. It's my only playthrough :(. Should I just create a new character for the next playthrough and encounter wrex so I'll have some new stuff to enjoy next time or what? It's wrex man.. :(

Is it possible that you beat it under a different gamer profile?

No, the same thing happened to me last night. I had to replay the last section of ME1 and remake the end-game save.

Edit: Wrex.

Well hopefully you'll have two playthroughs of ME2.

So go with your import on playthrough #1 and do a completely new one for #2..

Just got my 360 CE - last copy in the area.

Am looking for a Terminus/Blackstorm code. Only thing I have to trade right now is 48-hour XBL code.

I tried on veteran fresh out the gate and got demolished :lol.

At least the game is actually a challenge now.

Because I don't want to accidentally fuck up...

So I'm about to redeem the code for the Terminus Armor and the Blackstorm Heavy Weapon. The Mass Effect website tells me to make sure I'm logged into the same e-mail account as the one I'm using in game.

What does that mean? When I start the game I need to input an e-mail? or is it referring to the e-mail tied to my Xbox Live account?

I ask because the e-mail I used for EA's site is NOT the one I use for Live.

Would appreciate the help as I've just installed both disks and would like to begin!

Edit: Nevermind. There was a quick and easy e-mail requirement upon starting the game. I'm good. :lol

Oh yeah, for all future infiltrators... AMMO IS AN ISSUE

Make those shots count. 11 shots needs to equal 13 kills.

Didn't we get confirmation that the default settings will be

Man, combat feels so much better now, so smooth. Playing on Veteran and it's actually fun / challenging. Have to think a bit about how things are gonna go, or else I see the red veins of death!

I'm on
Omega
and its so cool how the news lady is talking about stuff that heppened in the first game. She mentioned
Kaidan foundation for Biotics
:lol.

One question though, is anyone else kinda finding it a bit hit and miss with the Biotic power curving? Seems to happen really randomly for me. Does it only happen at higher levels?

gah i guess i gotta play me1 before i get to play 2

Unfortunately, yes :(.

Though in retrospect, watching the ME1 ending and then jumping right into ME2 felt pretty good.

If you REALLY think he's awesome and essential to your Mass Effect experience, yeah you should start over.
The Giant Bombcast spoilers by Brad of Wrex uniting the Krogan and being a badass king
made me even more happy I didn't kill the guy in my playthrough.

Sheperd.......Wrex...... :D

The combat is much better in this one.
Click to expand...

Only thing they still need to do is make Shepard's animations smoother, especially during transitions. I also don't like fighting the big mechs that much - they just feel like bullet (or biotic) sponges and don't do anything but come directly at you. I guess they do bring some tension.

Outside of that, the combat is just splendid.

Jesus this game is good.

Just stopped by to say that the Captains Quarters far exceed the first one and (i'll spoiler just in case)
the photo frame with your romance from the first game is a very nice touch, nearly missed it
.

Seriously, anyone is on the hook for this game, so far at least, its an instant buy.

There's an in-game reason they omitted scars from the character creator.

The whole RPG Lite complaint is really laughable now that I've played it. I'm scoring all kinds of awesome upgrades and then gathering materials to make them and they all have a huge impact. I am so loving it, and it's miles better than ME1 in that respect.

Yeah, the new aiming system with biotic powers take a bit of getting used to. Aiming isn't based entirely on the crosshair position but on the targeting "box" that turns up around enemies it seems. When enemies are going in and out of cover or moving the targeting gets a bit random. Sometimes it goes for an old enemy position and hits the wall (or even curves neatly into the wall, d'oh :lol ). I find it best to use the power right after an enemy comes out of cover to shoot, or at some point when they are not about to move sideways.

Takes a bit. Make a sandwich or something. Sometimes it looks like it doesn't move, but it's going. I'm still waiting for the last DLC to d/l. 480MB big! Sheesh!

You ever seen Wanted?

You can curve certain attacks around/over objects to hit enemies around cover. :D Just so you know, it gets a little funky if you've got the sniper rifle equipped and you're locked behind cover (a bug causes you to zoom).

Want to lean it around the side? Pull up the wheel, select the attack - then aim to side a bit. Watch as the ball of doom goes around the cover and ruins someone's day.

360

and the ghetto space lumberjack grew on me. I didn't like wearing Cerberus gear around the ship, so I ended up wearing that a lot. Even though it is a bit BrawnyMan-esque :lol

So I got mine but I still haven't quite finished my current run of the original. I want to be lvl 50 and paragon going into ME2. But I prefer to play through these games being evil/mean the first time so my Shepard will suddenly become a selfish ass. :D

What side is everyone else going through for the first time? Paragon or Renegade?

Just got back from picking up my CE. Man, the wait for this game was painful. I love the tin case. Don't really care for the comic but the artbook is really nice. Now off to put in my codes, install, and play until my eyes bleed. I can't believe I was able to resist reading spoilers for the past week.

I was goody two shoes in ME1 but there were a lot of points that push you to the brink and you're just like, "You know what? Fuck you."

Very nicely done.
