In my playthrough with my fem-Shep I am leaving Garrus on the Citadel. Not taking him with me at all.
Curious to see if this has any impact on our meeting in ME2.
I think it'll be the same as playing ME2 without an ME1 save, where you show up and Garrus is like "Oh, Shepard, I've heard of you, cool"
Except that he talks with you a couple times even if you ditch him and don't take him with you.
He talks to you, but no more than any other NPC. The only times you have to interact with him are when first entering the Citadel Tower and when he asks to join your party at C-Sec.
I just finished Hades' Dogs and totally forgot that an agent of the Shadow Broker contacts me in hopes of getting information that was promised to him by Kahoku.
Now, I'm in a particularly unusual position of having foresight into his future given what I know about part 2.
So... yea or nay?
I refuse. You can't verify it's not just a Cerberus operative trying to recover the data.

If you've never played ME1, you would not know this, and therefore it would just seem weird to you when this random turian you've never met comes up to you talking like you've known each other forever. So if you don't bring in an ME1 save, from what I've heard, Garrus just won't remember you. Or maybe they'll do it like Gothic, where he goes "Shepard?" and your responses are "Garrus!" or "Do I know you?", and depending on which you pick determine whether he was in your party to fight Saren, or if he's just heard of your exploits.

People rarely fuck with the Shadow Broker. I think if Cerberus went so far as to pretend to be him, that'd be tantamount to a declaration of war.

While we didn't know at the time that the decision was made, information suggests that Cerberus is probably fucking with him anyway. Then again, I'm stupid paranoid and always worry the writers are going to outsmart me. :P

I have a feeling the Shadow Broker has many people who pretend to be him, whether they are his agents or not.

The data was obtained from Cerberus, correct? If the agent is a Cerberus agent, you're just giving them a copy of the data they already have. That's not much of an issue.

I was under the impression Shep stole the data. If it indicated you were just sending a copy or something, I would have. If I remember correctly it acts like you can either report it to the UNC (which never happens) or sell it to the 'broker', with no happy middle ground, which irritated me a bit.

I just did it yesterday and i clearly was given the impression that I was selling the shadow broker the data but still had it myself. Either the person on the com or shepherd definitely mentioned a copy
I didn't give the data to the Shadow Broker. Mostly because I was a super nice guy Paragon, but also because I had more money than god by that point in the story. I could actually buy the Shadow Broker outright. Offer me something besides money for the info, and maybe we'll talk. But those 30 sets of Proton Rounds VIII are burning a hole in my pocket (figuratively and literally), and they sell for, like, 25k each. Money, not really an issue.

I did it, because I figure Cerberus is a bunch of dicks so they deserve their info spread around, plus it gets me on the good side of the Shadow Broker, which is definitely a good thing.

Ditto and Cereberus killed fucking Kohaku. I'm kinda disappointed to see that the Shadow Broker seems to be aiding the Collectors.

This talk of choices in ME1 not being as keenly felt as reviewers would have liked worries me.
It's probably going to be the most linear of the trilogy since it has to tie parts 1 and 3 together cleanly as well as tell its own story. But not to say it won't be filled with lots of choices and callbacks to ME1. But part 3 could get to be pretty crazy depending on the number of endings that Bioware is prepared to create.

Have any details been released on the major choices?
I know Anderson
is Admiral, if Udina is chosen.
with the council. I'm guessing we just get a similar variation if they got killed off?

I have a lingering yet probably delusional hope that most of the ME1 references will show up as part of ME2's side missions and whatnot rather than aspects of the main plot.
Man, the first playthrough really caps you at level 50, kind of annoying. Can you disable that on PC?
Cheat to unlock the achievement for beating the game once.
But in one playthrough, you're not going to get that high above 50 anyway.
Sure you can, if you make an effort. Heck, in this last cannon runthrough, where I started from scratch and went down the checklist to make sure I got all the UNCs, and got out of the mako to manually snipe the turrets (which is quite silly how you can take rocket after rocket with barely a scratch when you have immunity up), I was easily able to get to 58

not for the first playthrough, though, which won't get the bonus exp for the level 50 and 60 achievements
Time to start gushing with the videos, 8 days left.
edit: blah, old video, but still, guess now on gametrailers or whatever
Shepard's expression at 0:49 - hilarious. "Wait, it's SNACK TIME? I LOVE snack time!"
Oh crap
Ashley is in the opening cutscene, when the Normandy gets attacked. If the only yourself, Chakwas, and Joker survive the attack (as has been claimed), then...

it took me a while to realize this
Really?
I'd always wondered what that stood for.

That ending was fucking awesome.

I always thought it was some future version of the U.N. with a C at the end , standing for something I didn't know.

Are you gonna have to go drinking?
or to buy a PC in the USA and set up some remote access software

nope
kind of question is that
I mean, I really like ME1, but it felt like a chore around the 5th time. >_<
*shrugs*
thought you may be the type that goes insane waiting 3 days. would be one way to deal with the pain if you were :P

never touched a drop in my life
maybe if i induced a self inflicted coma....
It doesn't have to be self-inflicted.
I'm sure there are some people here who would be happy to help. :whistle:

That was the part I was responding to
