They won't be able to take him, because he'll be working for me. He's a good soldier, and a good friend I want nothing but a happy ending for Garrus..
congrats BioWare for making me like one of your characters so much ahaha
Well to be honest:
I'd say he qualifies for: Took a Level of Badass in this game. Even though it's a bit more like: Took a Level of Batman.
So ya.
Yeah, Garrus is batman badass without all of the whiny emo about his dead parents.
To be fair he's way less badass than Batman. I don't see Archangel running round beating the shit out of people with his bare god damn hands.
He also doesn't say "I'm the god damn Archangel."
Party member griping:
What the hell, Tali doesn't have overload? Doesn't this game understand that in order to roll with my crew, the character needs to be able to remove at least armor (shields would be besssst). Tali out, Garrus in.
Is it possible to redeem codes if I don't have my game registered on the social site? because I have the codes with me but not the cd key. Otherwise I'll just have to wait till I get home. Also is it 100% doable in game on the pc version or am I forced to come to this website for something at some point?

I think you have to download the actual stuff from the web. You enter the codes in game, but most of the content isn't on the disc.

Hard to beat the bad guys up when all tote heavy armor, force fields, and particle accelerator rifles. :winky:
Batman would disable all those things with a special batarang and then close for face punching. Just because Archangel doesn't have the will or imagination to do it doesn't make it an excuse!
So, Zaeed is just in the very entrance to Omega? Got the DLC downloaded finally, no Zaeed. Also
Where the fuck is Legion?
I think it's not retroactive. I don't think it was in DA:O, so you might have to start a new game. I didn't get my new armor or sniper rifle in my existing save, but I haven't tried a new game yet, 'cause I wanna finish.

He doesn't appear until late in the game or the story at least, if you've got him you're gonna be forced to finish it soon or

I love it when he said:
Something to the effect that he pissed off three mercenary armies at the same time, just to "stay sharp".
I about fell down laughing at that one, it was beautiful given how much hardware the mercs had waiting to take him out.
I like the line he has later, after you beat his mission and you can talk to him again about how Turians prepare for battle. He has reach, she has flexibility.. bust up laughing for real over that one

I couldn't connect to the Cerberus network when I first started playing and I picked up Zaeed and all the armors/weapons. I hadn't yet gone to Omega when I did manage to get the DLC, though. (This is all on PC)

re: Generic "lack of RPG elements" complaints.
Disclaimer: I love this game and I know I will sink 60+ hours into it. At least. It has so thoroughly and cleanly ripped me away from WoW that I keep forgetting to even bother to cancel my WoW subscription.
That said, I do miss some of the 'RPG' elements that have been toned down, specifically loot and talents/abilities.
Loot has been discussed ad nauseum, so quickly summarizing my issue with it: The path of direct upgrade for weapons is a little boring, coming from games such as ME1 or Dragon Age (my enjoyment of DA probably adds context to my issues like it did to GnomeTank). The new handling of 'inventory' is just a shock to the system, and really does make plenty of sense. After getting used to it I'm totally cool with it. I just wish I could make some more choices with the weapons rather than "level 2 shotgun, obviously don't need level 1 anymore."
My bigger issue was when I brought up my power wheel and felt like I was naked. I carried over a Sentinel, and really enjoyed having about 87 powers to choose from when dealing with my foes in ME1. It was my ARSENAL, and it made fights more interesting as I tried to plan my power usage according to the situation. Now the shorter CDs mean I'm still using (or should be using) plenty of powers, but the variety has been washed out a bit.
Then the talents. I have to reserve a good deal of judgement here since I'm not far enough to have evolved abilities and such, and I do appreciate that the escalating costs require some more thought into spending the squad points. At first glance, it looks like this is another area where the variety of choices has been slimmed, but the evolving abilities do bring a wrinkle that isn't immediately obvious.
Again. I love the game. I know without a doubt that this will only grow on me. That story and characters alone are worth every penny I spent. The combat has a much more satisfying feel to it than ME1 did, once I got used to the pacing.
Juc, you're frustrated with generic complaints and I understand and appreciate that. I wanted to put mine into some detail to hopefully help you understand where some of the others are coming from. To boil it down to the common denominator, it's about choices. We had quite a few ways to customize and modify our characters and squad in ME1 (RPG elements) that seem to have been 'dumbed down.' I'm not a fan of that wording, but it's what has been used several times.
You streamlined some things, and for some of us it was more than we wanted. There really isn't a difference between having Shotgun talents and Shotgun upgrades. Shotgun users will get both. That kind of stuff I can understand, but there's just something different about my power wheel having 1/3 of the abilities it used to. To be fair, there were also choices added in other areas (I AM excited to really get rolling with the research of upgrades) and we've got some variety we didn't have before. The armor skin customization was a welcome addition.
This is already plenty wordy, so I'll just say thank you for this game. Thank you so much. I write out big ol' essays like this when it's something I truly care about and am passionate about, and it's that type of fanbase that you guys have cultivated with excellent games. I just hope that, even if it doesn't actually go anywhere, this feedback was helpful in some small way. Even if only to help you say "OK, I think I see where you guys are coming from."
I just broke the kid's gun who was trying to join the merc suicide mission and told him he'd thank me later.
This game is so boss
He does.

I personally didn't really really like Fable 2. The comparison comes from Fable being very RPG centric and Fable 2 being very "streamlined". My lack of enjoyment for Fable 2 had more to do with the direction they took.
With that said, I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy the hell out of Mass Effect 2. The setting, graphics, gameplay, etc are still a huge turn on. It's just not the experience I was expecting.
I like comparing armor and weapon stats. I like buying new weapons. Not being able to do that is a bummer.
However, shooting up some space fuckers is ace by me because I enjoy everything else about the game.
I want to talk a little more about the Archangel mission, since that's where I left off and I'm still in class.
Seriously, that whole sequence was awesome, and might go down as one of my favorite moments in a game. Shepard and Garrus' bromantic dialog, the whole survival aspect of locking the building down while taking down offenders, and the seriously awesome ending to it all, which actually had me sit up in concern like I screwed up somewhere and would end up losing Garrus.
Jacob: "It doesn't look good man. He's going to be out of commission for a while, and he might never be the same agai-"
(Garrus steps in, charred armor and fucked up face)
Garrus: "Sup bro, what'd I miss?"
Jacob: ".....Holy shit."
And is Garrus really going to spend the remainder of the game wearing that damaged armor? Sure it cements his bad-assery, but surely Cerberus could outfit him with some new digs?
Also, since you get to heal Shepard's scars later on, could you do the same for Garrus?
Seriously, I can't believe this was by the same guys who created ME1. If that first game was Star Trek, ME2 is Star Trek 2009.
I just realized that you guys plowed thru about 2 pages of posts while I was typing 'War and Peace' for Juc. Not that I'm surprised. There's plenty to talk about
That's what I'm calling the Shepard effect. These Cerberus folks are turning out alright, really adapting to the alien crewmembers.
So I need to kill Illusive Man and take over to make it a better organization.
Actually, maybe not. That would reduce the killing my Shepard does on a day to day basis. Sounds like a good thing for Shepard to do after the trilogy ends though.
Man, my new game+ is going so badly. It's like they toned the difficulty as if you kept all your upgrades. But you don't. My character lasts like .2 seconds when not behind cover. Think it'll be more fun to start a new char (read: import other saved games).
But then I'll lose my cool ass anti-material sniper rifle

I agree, the Archangel mission was great.
Right as he reached for his helm I realized "oh fuck its Garrus, awesome." Then I thought I should have known that the moment I saw Archangel's armor was blue and that he had a sniper rifle
