@TychoCelchuuu has been kind enough to provide peeks at Commander Shepard's facebook page:
one |two| three | FOUR! | FIVE!! | SIX!!!
*~seven~*

@GoodKingJayIII provided the following way to skip much of the introduction for the PC version of ME2:
A lot of people don't like the opening 10 minute intro movie, but there is a way to get rid of it. Go to:

C:....mass effect 2\BioGameMovies

Change the extension of the following files to .bak:

Opening_End_Seq.bik

Opening_End_SeqFM.bik

Opening_Seq_INT.bik

ProCer_300_FirstFlight.bik

ME2_Opening_SunMid_INT.bak

ProNor_Pod2.bik

ProNorEscape.bik

ProNorEscapeAsh.bik

ProNorEscapeKaid.bik

ME2_Opening_SunMid_ESN.bik

ME_EAsig_720p_v2_raw.bak

BWLogo.bak

ProNor_Shepard_Rebuilt.bik

This will not get rid of everything, you still have to watch the non-CGI cutscenes and Save Joker. But it does cut down quite a bit. If you want those movies back just rename them to .bik again. If you're worried your renaming the wrong thing, you can download a BIK palyer and confirm the files.

3. For those who hate planet scanning and hacking, there is an easy ini file edit floating around. This is just a colaseced editor that you guys have already been playing with but this one seemed pretty idiot proof to me. This again needs an external program but is non-excutable.

http://www.mediafire.com/?yjjzlzzzmyj

This has all kinds of stuff like god mode, extra weapons, infinite ammo etc., but if you just want the money, just use it to get your resources, save, then exit the game and revert to the non-hacked state.


@korodullin has kindly offered some R&R with a wonderful game of bingo!

bingofinalv2.jpg


@Spoit has a far more simple variation:
me2bingo.jpg

@curly haired boy strikes back with awesome wallpapers taken from the ME2:
@Orca has kindly complied all of the shamelessly awful pictures posted in this thread.

@Orca explains how to transfer ME1 to Origin:
From the other thread, enter your info here: https://activate.ea.com/gameactivation.do

then create or link an existing EA classic account. Origin should figure out what's up without you doing anything more at that point.

*If buying ME somewhere other than Origin and it doesn't contain BDTS or PS, contact Origin CS and they can get it fixed for you.

    Sorry, I was actually planning to do a major OP overhaul for the new thread but I'm just too busy at the moment. Hopefully I'll get around to it soon, ideally once we get some new info on the next game in the franchise.

    And thanks @Mild Confusion for the inspiration for the new thread title :mrgreen:

    Man I haven't played this in forever. I bought, but still haven't played through Omega or Citadel.

    Maybe it's finally time for an insanity full playthrough.

    Or not. Steam games are killing me right now.

    Omega is cool.

    Batarians are the best.

    As people to torture for information.

    Because of having three spare eyes.


    Batarians are the worst at anything else though.

  • Mild ConfusionMild Confusion Smash All Things Registered User regular
    Well, I think Bavarians are a fine people.

    But Batarians make a fantastic punch glove.

    And spikes that explode.

    I mean, c'mon! Hatesurfing!

    I think the op should be updated with links to Jacobkosh's ending critique and Orikaeshigitae's ending critique since they're cited so often when people come in asking "so I've seen the ending but don't understand why anyone was mad."

    I miss the days when I could do a quick GIS or deviant art search and find the most insane fan art. Now I've seen all the really crazy stuff, everything new seems to be fairly well adjusted.

    Except maybe this!

    The law and order parody made me realize I would TOTALLY watch a buddy cop movie with Wrex and Garrus.

    Naw

    But Shepard & Archangel Investigations should totally have been a 10 hour noir DLC on Omega in ME2.

    Volus vanguard with the gauntlet... For added fun a incendiary falcon to go with the gauntlet. Timing is tricky on a laggy session though.

  • DarkPrimusDarkPrimus Registered User regular
    Volus Vanguard + Batarian Gauntlet.

    You take the Charge has 50% no cooldown upgrade and you keep Charging until you get a cooldown. Then you punch.

    I love the Garrus one with the streaks.

    In the third one, the interrogation scene from Thane's loyalty mission and the rampage episode (my personal fav) match up perfectly in tone!

    It's even better than what was in the actual game!

    I've been on a Mass Effect Fuck Yeah binge and you're all paying the price. Chance that these have been seen before because I'm WAY behind the curve? High. Chance of seeing Kaidan's bare ass? Low.
