Does the Kestrel armor make that big a difference? I'll be finishing my run this morning and the only DLC items I've used are the Phalanx and the Eviscerator.

i wouldn't know, i don't have any bonus armor except the preorder bonus stuff (collector, inferno) that i ignore. about the only gameplay-affecting DLC i have is the firepower pack.

After Legion's loyalty mission:

The "streamlining" isn't as bad as I thought it would be, although I kinda miss having an inventory.
Super early game "spoilers":
I am totally destroying that AI before the end of the game, if given the chance.
Also, I find it a bit weird that Sheppard is all "hmm, Cerberus seems familiar, but untrustworthy!" Didn't they unleash a tresher maw on some colonists "for science!", amongst other things? I was looking for options allowing me to raise this issue with the Illusive man, but found nothing. I took every option that allowed me to show reserve about working with Cerberus, but I still think they convince him to work for them way too easily.
This is so much better than I ever imagined it could be. Damn.
Y'know, those guys who 'neutered his entire race'.
I have an Infiltrator with nothing to do but the IFF mission.
Might start a Sentinel while I wait.

Pretty sure it's post.
If it's pre-, you can still do it after the suicide mission anyway.

The way Mass Effect 1 works is that party slot determines what they say, not personality. There will always be a Paragon and a Renegade advisor, and which is which has nothing to do with the characters normal behavior.

You sure? Wrex has always been the one to go "screw the Council" with me. How does one determine the party slot?
Xbox Live: GZOTP | Origin: Khuutra
My guess is probably not due to the cost of getting all the voice actors in, but I'm holding out hope for something (Garrus and Tali since they know Liara?). At minimum expect more Mark Meer and Jennifer Hale of course, which is always good.

I have no idea, but on my "canon" run Ashley was the one who argued that we should save the council (she said something like "I don't like aliens but maybe they'll be less dicks if we save them") and Wrex (or maybe it was Garrus) was like "fuck 'em"
Yes I'm sure. It's solely determined by who you picked first and second when composing your party. Sometimes you'll have Liara be all bloodthirsty "BATHE THE RACHNI IN ACID AHRWARHIRG" and "KILL THE COUNCIL I HUNGER FOR FLESH"
It has nothing to do with personality, everything to do with slot.

Wait so is it possible for Wrex to be for saving the rachni? You'd think that one would be locked in stone.

Yay!
Is Tali ever going to find new armour? Not that it really matters, since her shields are practically impossible to take down.

My favorite is bringing Wrex and Garrus to that one.
Wrex: My people were slaughtered killing these things. Don't let them come back.
Garrus: We can't do that without asking the Council. Genocide is one of the reasons we fought the kroga...uhh.
Wrex: Yes, Vakarian?

I'm about to go to Horizon, so I'm looking for some advice on how to make it a little less painful. I'm level 15 and have maxed out Tactical Cloak (assassination) and my class passive (assassin). I have a single point in Flashbang Grenade as a bonus power (I only want tech abilities). Should I put more points into Incinerate to deal with armor, or go for Squad Cryo to better deal with Husks?
As for squaddies, I'm thinking of taking Zaeed for his Incisor, Inferno Grenade and Concussive shot, all of which will be useful against the Collectors. Plus he's pretty non-squishy. Who else should I take? I'm leaning towards Grunt, but is there someone else who would give me better odds? I'm expecting Horizon to take quite a few tries.
Jack is also nice thanks to Shockwave.

Grunt and Miranda are pretty much tops. They're good in any situation.
Grunt because of how tough he is, and Miranda because she has overload and warp. Kasumi is also pretty good if you have her. Thane and Garrus too.
Miranda is always good for Warp and her passive bonus to weapons damage (assuming you've got points in those).
Sneakman:
Incisor is kind of the cheat gun - it's glitched so that your squadmates do as much damage with it as you do, and they're extremely accurate with it. Max out Zaeed's class power fo weapon damage and he'll tear through almost anything with it. Ditto Thane. I recommend against Incisor on your squadmates because it makes things too easy, but for where you are now the most effective thing would be to bring Zaeed and Garrus with two Incisors - they'll chew through Collectors, Scions, Harbinger, Husks, just everybody.

I thought the Incisor was glitched when I used it on Shepard for Mordin's recruitment mission. I would only pick up 1 extra round for each thermal clip I picked up. That's how it works for the 10-round Mantis, but the Incisor stores 45 rounds. Made it hard to keep using for that mission, so I switched it out for the Mantis at the nearest weapon locker and haven't looked back.
I didn't know the Incisor was glitched for squad damage though. That certainly explains how I mowed through Purgatory with Zaeed and Garrus last night with relative ease. Even the YMIR mechs didn't give me much trouble. And here I thought I was actually pretty good! Damn.

I heart you.
I like this a helluva lot more than I should.
To their credit it seems to fit the personality of pretty much everyone to be for and against.
given the situation.
One of my favorite little touches is that Ashley is always for destroying the Rachni... unless it's her and Wrex on your squad. Then she argues about how you can't play God and such, then if you talk to her on the ship afterward she remembers what she said as opposed to her stock "Bad idea, skip." line that she spouts if she argued for killing them or if she wasn't there.
Space Hitler.
Ok, the joke is really old now. Sorry.
Actually,....... Ashley's my cannon ME1 romance.
Now we need an 8-bit remix of The End Run.
Bit of an odd romance, mind you.. I suppose being fired out of one is better than being told to babysit a nuke.

I've got a spare copy of Portal, if anyone wants it message me.
Yes, I left her by the nuke. Happy?
2nd cannon romance was Tali
She died too on the suicide mission.....
