Hello, and welcome to yet another Penny Arcade Let's Play.
Mass Effect 2 is a a third-person shooter roleplaying game set a relatively short time in the future (for sci-fi) where humans have plagiarised FTL travel from giant space-squid-ships who are determined to exact revenge on them for this. They've also encountered an alien species comprised entirely of ageless nubile pansexual women with the bodies of supermodels, as well as some other species of lesser note. So apart from the super-secret intergalactic war that the government is trying to cover up, life couldn't be better.
As with my
Mirror's Edge Let's Play, this will be a fairly directed, commentary-based experience, although I'll try and throw in a few funnies now and again. Comments, suggestions and the like are all welcome. I might even allow audience participation for a few bits and pieces; we shall see!
I hope you enjoy the videos!
WORKAROUNDSI will put a little about fixing the godawful mouse acceleration/sensitivity in here soon. Then you will thank me and lay your women at my feet.

"I didn't like his haircut".
"I wanted to have sex with the strange blue alien".

He's like if Helloween put a monocle on and was more attentive. Love it.
In a technical sense, it's quite good though.
Maybe it synergises better with singularity?
I expect to get any backstory out of the way fairly quickly, since very little of it has much bearing on ME2. The only reason I did an import was how bad the choices made by canon Shepard are. And Conrad Verner. We need Conrad Verner.
Audience participation will probably be things what order to do missions in in Act I & Act II (after I've got the cool character), possibly romance (I think we all know how that's going to go).
Main problem with getting Slam to synergise is that you tend to kill them after the third Throw. I was playing about with it last night; I can get about four throws in before they're out of range for Slam.
I haven't played ME2 myself but I've heard the non-import version of Shepard described not so much as 'canon' as 'path of least resistance/effort'.
Let's Play Final Fantasy 'II' (Ch10 - 5/17/10)
If there was a mod that made enemies with shields and armour vulnerable to biotics it would be infinitely more rad.
As for the order of doing missions, you are semi forced into starting on Omega to get Mordin and Garrus and Zaeed, as well as some early info, story, shopping, money, resources, etc. And that's after the Freedom's Progress stuff. After that though, you still need to follow a bit of a set order if you want your ending to go well:
We might also poke you into doing the LP in a certain set of armor, depending on what you got/get.
I would have liked to have seen ME1, but I agree that the clunky inventory system, the loading screens, the elevators, and the somewhat convoluted key bindings are a pain, although they wouldn't hinder an LP they would still be annoying as hell.
I'm not worried about getting a perfect ending. Getting interesting companion dialogue at the cost of the ending seems to me like it'd make better, more commentable sections.
YOU CAN TRY.
ShieldsBlockPowers in the coalesced.ini to false. May be too powerful, though on the other hand it wouldn't be constant warp bombs.
Slam is the most fun loyalty power, glad to see you took it. Up...down...up...down...
And this thread was so 56k friendly. 8(
I like this man. :P
dem abs demand no less
How'd I know we couldn't even get through one page of this Mass Effect 2 thread without making that reference?
Ugly Commander Halle Berry Shepard is Ugly.
Grunt is fine, Jack is... well, Jack. Garrus is just awesome, both storywise and gameplay wise.
i'm just interested in... talking for a bit.
Part 2
Part 3
Part 4

This is going to be a swell LP.
Get Garrus! Garrus, I tells ya!
Also this is very fun and amusing and I like it! Thanks for making it.
