I would like to pause for a moment, to talk about my penis.
My penis is like a toddler. A toddler—who is a perfectly normal size for his age—on a long road trip to what he thinks is Disney World. My penis is excited because he hasn’t been to Disney World in a long, long time, but remembers a time when he used to go every day. So now the penis toddler is constantly fidgeting, whining “Are we there yet? Are we there yet? How about now? Now? How about... now?”
And Disney World is nowhere in sight.
Which of these dudes is the Observer? I've tried the one I thought, and got a non-positive message, then tried two more and got the same message. Am I just horrible at picking targets?

I'm guessing Miranda's hairstyle is unique to her, and not available for a Fem Shep?
Are there good hairstyle choices for female characters this time?

So I'm not really a stat hound/whore/whatever. In one particular case I am... interested in basic stats. Is there somewhere I can find weapon information? Like, damage per shot, ammo. I had the Carnifix (sp?) hand cannon. Wow it has almost no ammo compared to the basic heavy pistol. I would have liked to be able to compare that in the weapon locker. Sure, it's a minor complaint but that's only because I love the damn game!

Yeah, I caught that.
Then I assumed it was a mistake made by the writing team. :P
Also. I've never been more sad at running out of content in a game. The moment I realized all I had left to do was the Suicide mission,
standing alone on the disturbingly empty Normandy SR-2,
was a depressing moment. And for clarity, it's not that there's not enough game there, it's that I just selfishly wish there was just more of it.
ending spoilers:
Seeing Kelly get processed was the worst.
Oh Frosty, you could save her.
You're lying. Liar.
Stop lying.
Chakwas reference?
Man I really wish I could. It's not the SR-2 without "You have unread messages at your private terminal"
Here's what you thought. "Oh, I know people are having god knows what happen to them, but I guess these sidequests are more important than their LIVES." You killed them, through your inaction.

Way to go silly goose.
I was doing those quests so I could upgrade the Normandy so I could save them.
The Vorcha are kind of pathetically sad. They remind of of Fallout 3's Ghouls.
The Vorcha got the shit end of the deal.
Regenerative properties, immune to all disease, actually get stronger the more they get hurt.
Despite all that, they only live 20 years, are stupid as hell, and oh my god are they ugly..
20 years? How can a species that regenerates live only 20 years?
That's what I'm saying, but read their Bio..its in there.
Well, the same reason humans don't have typical access to superhuman feats of strength. Overclocking your biology like that is sure to shorten your lifespan.

Mordin's/Grunt's loyalty quests spoilers:
Holy shit Tuchanka.
Holy shit. It's a complete and utter shithole, but it's an awesome shithole. Mordin's quest was really hard for me to morally stomach, and that line the crazy krogan I interrupted with a pistol shot to the gas tank about all the stillborn baby krogan really got to me. In the end, I had Mordin let that guy go but save the data. Once Wrex gets the krogans' collective asses in gear, maybe they can have their awesome reproductive rates back.
Grunt's quest really got me respecting krogan culture. And headbutting krogan Worf was the best thing ever. Also killed that Thresher Maw so I could be as awesome as Wrex.
It got me wondering, though - how different is Tuchanka without Wrex being the biggest, baddest krogan leader ever?
I hate to admit this publicly, but I'm having a hard time with the combat in this game. My squad takes down most of the enemies. I'm notoriously bad at shooters, and I find the controls too lose, so as I panic I end up pointing at the ceiling.
There was an instance while playing last night where a varren was running at me across a room and I managed to miss every shot slightly behind him. I don't care though. The non-combat aspects of this game are awesome.
I'm playing as a vanguard, which was my class in the first game. I used to love the shotgun but it doesn't seem as useful this time around. I get gunned down every time I come out of cover. Also the charge power seems to get me killed all the time.
I had envisioned myself charging around the battlefield, shotgunning fools in the face, but really I knock one guy down, shoot the ceiling a bunch of times, and then die. Then I resume and hide behind a wall and shoot with a pistol.
Finally, on the PC is there any way to just sort of shoot from the hip? Every time I hit the left mouse button it zooms for the shot and then zooms out, and some times I just want to shoot without the zoom feature. Am I doing something wrong?

Regarding Yeoman Chambers:
has anyone playing a female Shepard gotten anything beyond the first three dialogue choices with her? Because I never did and I'm hearing of other people saying the opposite and it's really quite strange!

If the combat gets too intense hit left-shift and reorient/aim every few seconds. Abuse the heck out of the ability to freeze the battlefield and observe everything and aim. It gets much easier if you do.

This game is really, really great.
The conflict is that the Krogan aren't really a space-faring species, they can't deal with having their regular reproductive rate and being able to travel in space, they're just too much trouble. At least the Rachni aren't intentionally pains in the ass.

Yes.
Even had dinner with her as femshep, whatever that implies.

There is no apparent progress for the Krogan if Wrex was killed in ME1.

How did this occur? Do you have to like, get to a certain point, ask her the same questions like ten times, talk to her a certain number of times, I mean what do you have to do for that to happen?
Because I've beaten the game and I'm in new game+ and she's still sayin' the same old stuff

She only offered to feed the fish after we had dinner.

Oh, well, it was after some plot point. I forget which though. I made a point to talk to her since she always has something to say about new squadmates.
Are there any repersussions for using the paragon option on the vendors at the Citadel? I'm thinking of doing it anyway as I cannot forsee any way of obtaining all the creds to buy these things I want.
You'd think Shepard would be able to come up with ways of saying his/her support for the store.
Wrex was so happy to see Shepard! It was awesome. Headbutting a krogan was awesome. Killing the thresher maw was awesome.
I wish there was some way to get the characters who may or may not have died in ME1 back into the thick of things Blasting through people with a team of Wrex and Grunt would be amazing.
The conflict is that the Krogan aren't really a space-faring species, they can't deal with having their regular reproductive rate and being able to travel in space, they're just too much trouble. At least the Rachni aren't intentionally pains in the ass.
I suspect the Krogan destroyed each other and left their planet in nuclear winter because of overpopulation. So, even if...
...Wrex can kick start the Krogans in a more positive direction, which is really going against their evolution post-self destroyed world, they're still going to over-breed, which is still going to be a problem.
Put my sentinel playthru on hold to restart as an infiltrator last night.... wow. The 'sniper slowdown' spoils me to no end, and I've already passed my sentinel character in the story.
Made me chuckle with my first encounter with the Collectors:
"Assuming direct control"
*Snipe*
"Hope he enjoyed that. Did he get a shot off?"
I do wish I had a little more sniper ammo, but I don't feel starved. I just get selective with targets and make sure I don't miss
Anyone else bring Grunt to Recruiting the Convict?
"Jack is small..."
*Jack goes nuts*
"Hurry, let's get down there! I want to see this!"
*My opinion of Grunt++*
Loved Jack's path of wreckage and the recruitment mission itself. The minor 'twist' they pulled caught me off guard, though I knew I wouldn't simply walk out of there without some kind of fight. I expected more resistance from her before cooperating. Looking forward to learning more about her.
Also, the fact that we're not getting XP for kills did make me feel better about sniping the last guy before recruiting Jack and ignoring almost all of his little buddies. Infiltrator.

I'm actually surprised that renegade points didn't get accrued when I went to a second + store and told them it was my favorite shop on the Citadel.
I saved the people on refinery instead of perusing the blue suns leader. I though I was going to have to fight Zaeed to death for pissing him off. Speaking of Zaeed, dude is a total dick. Hes also a badass looking mofo though!

The point is the new genophage, which supposedly stabilizes the Krogan population. That thing needs to keep Krogans at the appropriate birth rate so they can exist peacefully with other galactic civilizations.

langorf6, i consider myself pretty good at shooters, but i had a hard time adjusting to combat in ME2 from ME1. if i'm not using the Carnifex, my team ends up dropping more enemies than i do. i just got a different weapon type, and we'll see how that changes things.
i'm playing Vanguard as well, just like my first ME1 playthru, and shotguns suck this time around, and i feel really squishy now, rather than death in space armor.
if i have any gripes it's that combat feels a little too much like Gears of War with all the cover hopping, the tiny amount of ammo you get with some weapons is really, really, really annoying, and it seems like all the ME1 min/max pistol love was interpreted to mean that everyone wanted to be corralled into using pistols again. other than that, the game is awesome.

That was, according to Mordin, the point of the first Genophage as well. And he's got a point considering Krogan breed faster then nearly anything and can live a thousand years. Plus the only ones left are the ones with genetic conditions that were considered insanity before the nuclear winter.
