    Dear God, they've thought of everything. I bought fish. I fed the fish. Then the fish started wandering to the top of the tank for food. They've thought of EVERYTHING!

    Remember when all you had to do to get preorder stuff was enter the code they give you?

    Okay, is there any possible way to check your EA profile to see if all the stuff I've registered for the game (dragon armor, Mass Effect Galaxy completed) went through? I poked around the site for a good 10 minutes and I'm stumped.

    Wait. What do you get for this? I have it but only played a few minutes of it.

    One of the Bioware guys at CES said you'll get some new sidequests from Ish.

    CE edition sitting in my car. This is going to be a long afternoon at work.

    I don't remember reading about this, but will I be able to import a save into my game if ME1 was a steam game, but ME2 is brick and mortar? That won't make a difference right?

    damnation

    I still can't get the Dr. Pepper stuff either

    I was hoping to square some of the DLC stuff away while I'm waiting for it

    I just put in another of my 3 codes to see if the Dr Pepper stuff was on there, and they still don't have Mass Effect listed. So that makes 2 codes I think I've wasted. If I put in the code, but didn't redeem the prize, I'm pretty much out of a code, aren't I?

    Couple questions:

    1.) If I have the PC version of Dragon Age, can I get the item on the 360 version of this game?

    2.) Will looking at the achievement list spoil me on anything? Or is anything spoilerish kept in secret achievements?

    1. Supposedly yes acccording to Bioware, it's linked to your social account. Check your page.

    2. Not really maybe a little.. You get some major hints on future party members.

    The actual game behind Mass Effect Galaxy is snooze-inducing... think Smash TV, but no more than five enemies at one time and waaaaaaaaay slower. But at least the story's good and you can finish it in an hour.

    And I still maintain that cartoon Miranda is hotter than actual Miranda.

    So, uh, can anyone who's played Soldier and Vanguard in ME2 share their thoughts?

    I've played a soldier for about seven hours so far. I think I'm level 8 or so. I really like the soldier. With my trusty assault rifle and disruptor ammo, I tear apart shields and synthetics. I even do pretty well against armor, also.

    I really wanted to like concussive shot, but I've found that I'm using all my cooldowns on adrenaline rush. That's pretty much an automatic headshot with a sniper rifle, and it's pretty much useful in every situation. Concussive shot isn't bad, but I'm pretty much using it for chipping away at barriers and hitting guys that Jacob pulls up into the air.

    And despite relying almost entirely on weapons for damage, I'm having little trouble with ammo.

    My soldier will be complete once I unlock the armor piercing ammo bonus power, because I'll be able to put that on my hand cannon and take that out to quickly get through tougher armor.

    I saw a buddy play a vanguard (and an adept) for a while, and I was really impressed with the vanguard. Charge is less useful early on, but the heavy pistol/hand cannon combined with inferno ammo is very nice, and pull and shockwave are great compliments to charge. It's a very well put-together class. It does have a notable weakness, though, in dealing with shields, so it's really useful to bring someone along that has overload.

    Depends what you want. No armour is really "better", each piece tends to up one stat, shield strength, biotic power, more ammo etc.

    If you Google "Mass Effect Zaeed", the delay is literally the first thing that comes up.

    No idea about the armor, though. Haven't heard anyone having any problems with that.

    Terminus armor wouldn't be on the Cerberus Network, as Terminus Armor was a Gamestop Preorder exclusive.

    The Zaeed DLC was delayed.
