I'm going out to eat since I've literally not eaten anything since getting this game at midnight. As such, here is a new thread.

    Because you haven't visited your local Walmart to buy your pre-release copy?

    I'm surprised it took so long for us to go through the last thread compared to the thread a day we had for Dragon age in the week before launch.

    So is mine. I'm pretty glad though. If I could have gotten it early, I would not have put the time and love necessary for a perfect, canon run with my FemShep. I would have done it with a half assed character I would have always regretted in the long run.

    Right now, I'm replaying that femshep to get the last four levels to 60. It may not matter too much, but I'm being pretty perfectionist in the "perfect" save here. We'll see how far my resolve goes as I try to get all the rare earths and shit again.

    Perhaps more people are blacking out the game since they're more invested in the story of this game than the story of a brand new IP? Just spitballing here.

    I completely agree, I think the 'thread a day' was more or less over wondering about the entire storyline/game, as it was pretty unknown, characters and histories unknown, and there werent really spoilers to give out, as no one knew shit in the first place.

    Now, with ME2, if someone says 'blah blah happens to this person', or people come up with potential theories that might be true, people get all up in arms, so information is more tightly kept, and spoiler'd even less. Cuts down on posts.

    At the resolution of the mission where you recruit him, Garrus can get scarred.

    Okay, so some might have noticed I'm adding some things to the OP. If anyone has any really good videos that aren't very spoilerrific but would be good to get people into the game, feel free to link them (or PM them to me since the thread moves quickly sometimes).

    Also looking to make an FAQ regarding character importing and other uh...frequently asked questions, so if there's something people should know in the OP post the question (and answer if you have it). Probably make a clean (no spoilers) faq and then one with some spoilers for those who want to know a few tidbits early (romance options or things like that).

    Will cheat codes affect a character import on PC? I want to do one good run to get all the story stuff the way I want, but I'd rather like to just bulldoze through combat.

    Ugh, I looked at the class videos again.

    Is anyone else irritated by the way Christina Norman pronounces 'adept'? She gets really close to one of the two accepted pronunciations only to get lazy halfway through and pronounce it 'a-dipt'.

    Hey, I just hit 60 and am on my "canon" playthrough with just Virmire left. And I'm starting to hate the uncharted worlds sidequests. Would I miss too much in ME2 if I just finish up the ones related to Cerberus/my team? I finished all of the ones from peeps at the Citadel; the only ones left are "Geth Activities," "Investigate Facility," and the like.

    Sidequests are more like Bringing down the sky.
    Mako got destroyed in the first ME
    The new vehicle will be added by DLC at a latter date

    Yeah I thought there was only one way too, until I looked it up to make sure I wasn't getting irritated for nothing.

    She still doesn't pronounce it right.

    ARGH!

    *must not read the spoilers*

    If someone that currently is playing the game could PM me a spoilerless answer to the following question:

    How does ME2 stack up versus ME1 rpg-wise? My main concern from the first one was that some choices simply didn't make sense and that squad responses were pre-ordained which would lead to xenophobic ash saying things like "save the aliens!". Comparisons to deus ex?

    thanks in advance. can't wait till tuesday.

    I just did that mission. The ship is just a little bit up and to the left of Xawin. You'll have to scan for it (press Y).
