Does choosing a bonus skill add an extra skill to your list or replace a skill, entirely? (and in the case of an Adept: what skill is replaced?)
Is it possible to NOT choose a bonus talent when making a new character?

Also there's a Japanese woman in Noveria and one in Feros.
I think the Noverian actually uses the word "-sama".

suicidal woman
Hmm...only reason I ask is because my original character has the entire screen filled with skills...unless they give they ability to scroll up and down for the one extra skill, or remove one line from the skill info area at the bottom of the screen, they'll run out of room and would need to replace something to get it all to fit on a single screenShinjitsu said:

I got some bitchingly-good Krogan heavy armour from them from somewhere (i think one of the Requisition Officers, but it could have been a late-game story planet too).Gattsu25 said:
Some of them tie into your chosen personal history, too - as an Earth-born sole survivor, there was a pair of side-quests that tied into each of those aspects.medze said:
Earth-born:
An old gang member from my childhood approached me on the Citadel to help get a fellow gang-member out of Turian custody, allegedly for simple drug-running. After talking to the relevant Turian it turned out that he'd been arrested for attempting to use a home-brewed bioweapon on a Turian colony, so i decided to let him rot. Then the guy who gave me the quest came over and threatened to rat out my not-exactly-law-abiding past to the public. Not that i really gave a shit, as i'd hardly been a Paragon as a Spectre (well, i ended up splitting things ~50/50 - i was mostly a nice guy to my friends, and generally helpful to people in need, but piss me off and there was a good chance you'd get a bullet in the head), but i didn't like the slimy little fuck anyway so i shot him in the head to shut him up.
Sole survivor:
On one of the sidequests you find a soldier in a research complex with a gun to a scientist's head - if you're a sole survivor, it turns out that he's actually one of your old squadmates, who was with you on Akuze - the place where it was believed you were the only one to make it out alive. Turns out that the thresher maw attack that wiped out your squad was orchestrated by Cerberus scientists testing their capabilities, and that your squadmate here survived, and was captured by the scientists, who then performed experiments on him. I got out of it with intimidate and executed the scientist for him. That one made the entire Cerberus questline a very personal matter for me.
I can't wait to see what ties into the different backgrounds on my second playthrough (just started a spacer war hero vanguard for my Paragon playthrough, although i'll also be doing a new game+ with my first shepard to go for Extreme Power Gamer, having picked up Power Gamer in my first run).
As far as the repetitive environments go, i felt the planet surfaces were sufficiently-varied (one near-airless rock just isn't going to be that much different from any other near-airless rock, and there were enough planets with rudimentary biospheres, oddball atmospheres, or different weather conditions thrown in to keep me happy), and as far as the building go, i just figured that there's a construction conglomerate somewhere who's making an absolute fortune on prefab buildings (although i would have preferred it if they'd taken the Oblivion approach, of having a relatively-small number of fixed building blocks that could be put together in a variety of ways, rather than monolithic complexes that are always the same on every planet). The stories and combat were sufficiently-engaging that the lack of architectural variety didn't really bother me, though.

Yeah, still doing this myself. It takes a minimum of 3 runthroughs (with the same character) to reach 60, though. -_-

Pirates should be sneaky and hidden. Like Ninjas. Cue lame Ninjas vs Pirates argument.
Anyway, I'm having trouble to decide if I want to go with Kaiden or Liara with my Lady Shepard. Personality-wise Kaiden seems much more interesting, but I am also a heterosexual male with a particular fondness for lesbians, so I don't know.
I wish I could seduce Ashley though, even though she is a bit of a bitch.

What are you talking about? What makes Kaze stupid? I'll admit it: I downloaded the album, and I'll probably buy it when it comes out.WrikaWrek said:
Why are you so worked up?
Piracy is A-OK if you buy the album too or already own it. Just my opinion.Vyse The Legend said:Not insulting your intelligence, at all, but alternatives exist even if sumthing isn't one
Show me a place to buy the album that isn't Amazon.com
Sumthing redirects to Amazon.
Impressions!: This is just KotOR without a liscense. For me, this is the best news possible and I'm in heaven.
Can someone explain how to drive the Mako? I feel like I may have missed out on a plot point explaining the finer details about trying to drive this thing. I feel like I need a special joystick.
Also, I've never had the feeling that I need to SAVE SAVE SAVE like this since an old Sierra adventure game. I wish the Auto Save was a little more on point. As dangers tend to pop up after some exposition and aren't quite immediate, not having Auto Save kick in a little more often leaves me losing 15 or 20 minutes of tedious work.
Combat is a little weak. I have a hard time telling when I've been hit and am hitting. It's just very, uh, light. That said, I can't imagine a game I'd like to be playing more than this, which indicates to me that it's very much not for everyone.
What were everyone's squad choices? I don't like Tali much, but it seems nearly impossible to get by without someone on Squad having decryption and electronics. Am I wrong? Wrex also hangs out because he's a giant ass kicker, but I wish the squad members had a little more personality. They almost never chime in on conversations and as a result I don't feel as conflicted about swapping them out as I did in KotOR. They're more like abilities templates than people.

Keep Wrex around, then. He has the best dialogue in the game, and he chimes in quite a bit.

Read the manual for Mako controls.
As a Soldier, I always had Liara around for her Biotics expertise, and Garrus was always on sniper support. I did most of the ass kicking.
SOmething that drives me crazy about Charm and dialogue options:
The quest for the Biotic compound. At the start, you dialogue with Alliance HQ to chat about the compound. If you have a high enough Charm, you're given the option to imply that you'll attempt to resolve the situation peacefully. But at the compound itself, my Charm skill was not high enough to select the peaceful options even though it was high enough ti imply that I would do so. Bummer.
The Lamonster said:
I Gamefly'ed it (First person to give me a lecture gets a lifetime ban from MY MEMORY), so no manual. I just hate the way controls are relative to the turret/camera, but the turret doesn't really center easily. A "Center Turret" button would have done wonders.
