FIX FOR FREEZING ON THE LOADING SCREEN
Courtesy of pcultimate from the Bioware forums for creating the dummy load.blk files and mtvnot from Piratebay for figuring out the fucked up .blk files that don't play correctly for whatever reason:

Get those files.
Replace THESE FILES ONLY, NOT ALL OF THEM, OR YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO GET PAST A SPECIFIC POINT IN THE GAME (because it's special circumstances - besides, only THESE files below are broken, the rest you should be able to watch)

Say what now, quoting man?
I do believe you are right. Amended.
I was just about to make the new thread! Thus you are a thief sir. A THIEF.
We all know you are the thief around here, Sir.
Well that is partially true.
But not in the way you tell it.
I stole it from Claustrophobia (he wasn't around though), and made it brand spanking new, Nuzak stole it from me, and you stole it from Nuzak.
I AM THE PARAGON OF YOUR DESTRUCTION.
OR VANGUARD.
WHATEVER.
Multiple playthroughs, here I go!
They tried to bury us. They didn't know that we were seeds. 2018 Midterms. Get your shit together.
You can't leave that sector before buying more
Uh..also...Miranda's clothes is tiiiiiiiiight!
If you run out on the sector map you start burning your mineral stores if I reacll
Also,(Main storyline 2nd mission-ish spoiler)
The only problem I have with this game is I can't play ME1 any more now.
The thought of not getting the armor upgrade for the Normandy terrified me.
I think it says that it used up your metal reserves. I wonder if maybe I should start flying on those anyway? I'm low on credits, but over 200k on some of the resources.
It's only theft if done before the thread crosses the 100 page threshold.
I think we need to have a war that ultimately results in five new threads being created within seconds of each other.
This time around, let's all pretend we're good at labeling our spoilers, so it's more of this:
Convict recruiting:
and less of this...
haha, omg this was so funny when I
kthx
If the readout doesn't turn my controller into a sex toy, I don't bother.
Unless its Eezo, I grab that shit whenever I can.
How.... how is this possible. Did you just start the game strip mining every single planet to shreds? Or not upgrade anything? Because like, I'm pretty much able to buy anything I ever want and still have to keep mining the shit out of everything.
Must be one of those crazies who love the scanning minigame.
Pretty much why I've been using standard armor with a visor. Speaking of, wtb garrus' visor
I did almost all my mining pre-probe upgrade.
It was tedius, so I wanted to clean out a whole planet so I wouldnt have to scour several planets just looking for large deposits.
I managed to only mine like 5-8planets and was able to buy almost all the upgrades I had.
Perhaps that is why I didn't fear him.
God dammit
I just came in this thread to ask a single question and the whole fucking game is spoiled for me now
Thanks a lot
I sure hope there's more than one kind though, because they look sweet.
Very Late Game spoilers
There is a system that has three scannable asteroids that are pretty rich in it. I want to say it's one of the systems in the cluster where you recruit
Maybe I'm alone in this but it feels like I accidentally loaded up Fallout 3. Particularly Mordins mission.
It's a cool place but...yeah.

Not quite
You may recall that the Krogan species nearly obliterated itself, bombing their world into a nuclear winter before the Salarians found them.
That would be why.

Hmm, I was gonna do Jack's quest first.
But now I'm intrigued!
I knew it was one of the systems that deal with her.
Actually Stormwaltz already confirmed in the previous thread two (or more) conversations with him seem to have been cut for whatever reason.
One of them was the one you refer to.
See guys? SEE!? This is why we can't have nice things.
