Great thread! Absolutely cannot wait! Also, is it bad if I lost my old ME1 save file? I don't want to miss out on anything big with the story.

You'll be able to pick certain story choices in the beginning of ME2, just the big stuff. None of the smaller things like the side quest stuff.

Ashley / Kaidan, Council, Wrex
Are examples.
 
Ya know what? Fuck this bullshit of getting exclusive weapons for buying the CE. Fuck it up the fucking arse.

It fucking shits me.

I pre-ordered, but I won't be able to play until Thursday because of school work. :(

I'm sort of in the same boat.
I have classes from M-Tu (W is one from 9-10:45 and 6:15-7:30, then nothing (well reading Law school stuff for the next week and cleaning :)). Still, I'm just planning on not sleeping as much as I normally would. :lol

I am so in day one, hell I bought the Terminus Armour/Gun Code off eBay today. Pre-order at gamestop my ass!
 
NG+ bonus stuff if you start a new character
200k credits
50k minerals
25% bonus xp
+ one power from your party achievements (the Loyal powers that you unlock when you do specific ally missions).

I haven't looked into the NG+ bonuses when you continue your career, aside from keeping your level and credit/mineral stuff.
 
Thanks Skilotonn for the great job with an awesome OT. I can't wait for my X360 CE copy to arrive and/or unlock my PC version via Steam.
 
Not day one I think but very soon after.. But then again maybe day one :(. This game has me in it's pocket so to say :p. Even despite all the elements they took out ;). And the veins. Why the veins :(.

Oh well, this game is still going to kick a whole bunch of ass, and it will have an amazing story I hope. Can't fucking WAIT.

The day I get this I'm going get high as hell and play this all day :lol
 
Can't wait, but kind of conflicted considering the first dropped in price so quickly. I'll probably buy it with the first B2G1 free deal to pop up.
 
So I've missed alot, but now that the game is here, i'm watching recent trailers & crap.

Can you knowledgeable folk fill me in on where the hell
Ashley/Kaiden, Liara, & Wrex are? I saw Garrus :).

Thanks!

After looking at Commander Shepard is a Jerk, I may have to try and plays as a Renegade. I keep forgetting that it doesn't doom you to a bad ending or something in ME1 and I would hope ME2.

Renegade is like being a 1980s action movie badass!

This reel is AMAZING. People need to watch it, especially guys like me who mostly did Paragon.

:lol :lol Need a Fem-Shep version of this.

Dax01: Got your code?
RS4- : I bit the bullet and highlighted your spoiler tag. I don't think that's a big spoiler considering the stuff in the OP.

I doubt it, but does anyone know if Best Buy is getting copies of the CE?

I'm pretty sure both they and Walmart are. Both seem to be the designated unloading place for copies not ordered by Gamestop.

Can't wait, but kind of conflicted considering the first dropped in price so quickly. I'll probably buy it with the first B2G1 free deal to pop up.

I feel similarly, but at the same time I don't think this one will fall nearly as swiftly as ME1 did.
 
It's about time that we got the official thread for ME 2. :D Awesome job to the OP.

I really hope the DLC for ME 2 can be on par with what's coming up for Dragon Age.Yes,I expect at least one significant expansion for ME 2 and smaller DLC similar to bring down the sky. :D

Spoilers:

Ashley / Kaidan seem to be taken by the Collectors ( Main enemy in ME2 that are collecting Humans. )

Liara is unknown currently, and Wrex is head of the Krogans I believe. Trying to unite them and get a cure for the Geno-phage that is causing their extinction. Garrus has returned.

Just making sure. Heard stories of people not getting their cards..

In my case, the cashier threw my box away today. :/ Right after I paid for it too. She thought it was just a display case and was unaware there was something inside. So she got it back, shook it and handed it to me. lol

Liara works on Illium as a competitor to the Shadow Broker.
Wrex leads the Urdnot clan on the Krogan home world.
Garrus returns after you help him take out three clans.

You unlock them from completing each character's quest. You can then research an upgrade that lets Shepherd use one of those unlocked abilities. You can also respec Shepherd.
 
Nice clean OT. Glad to hear about continuation of side quests after game finish. Towards end game I tend to get impatient about the ending and usually end up skipping side quests or rushing through them (FO3, DA:O, ME).

I see. But the small stuff has an effect if you use an ME1 save file?

Yes, sometimes extra quests, most often just an extra message. For instance, minor spoiler:
Scanning the keepers in ME1 for Chorban will have Chorban send you a message on your personal channel with his results, confirming what you already knew about the keepers and you also find out about a small new part of the history of the citadel.
