The Cerberus Card - Pay content, but every new game comes with on in pack! Saves you fifteen dolla!

ROMANCE FAQ (plot spoilers here):
Who can I romance?
Male Shepard can romance Tali, Kelly, Miranda, Jack
Female Shep can romance Jacob, Garrus, Kelly, Thane

When do we get to banging it?
All romances end prior to the start of the suicide mission. Except for Kelly. She won't bed you unless you have beaten the suicide mission, saved the entire crew, and not romanced another character.

ENDGAME FAQ (Because you will have questions):
Do the Normandy Upgrades actually help?
Yes! If you don't upgrade your ship, you will lose: Grunt, Jack, Tali, Legion, and Thane. Immediately, prior to landing on the collector base.

Does loyalty matter?
It is the singlemost important aspect to determining the survival of a party member. It's a given that any low loyalty members will die at some point and/or cause others to die.

WHY DO MY MEN KEEP DYING!?!?!
Using the following, I was able to complete the mission without trouble:
1st choice: Miranda (or Garrus) leads the group, Legion (or Tali) is the technician.
2nd choice: Grunt leads the crew to the ship, Miranda (or Garrus) leads the secondary group, the Asari or Jack provides the biotics (NOTE: I am pretty sure that the biotic user will die here if you take too long to get through)
3rd choice: Mordin died if I didn't bring him along on the final assault. While it may be possible that this is necessary, what is more likely is that taking too long on the final boss will cause you to lose a teammate.
PLEASE NOTE: Sometimes the person that gets killed is not the person who did their job poorly. I lost Legion and Tali during my first two attempts because the persons leading the secondary team were not competent enough (the Merc and Thane)


Does anybody choose to keep the base?
Only pussies.

SUPER SPECIAL BONUS LINKS!!!

MASS EFFECT 1 SAVE FILES
Pissed off that Bioware won't let you choose how to make a new shepard? Want to get the benefits of an imported Shep but want to save the council? Check out: http://www.annakie.com/me/home.htm

They have compiled a lot of ME1 save files, so you can download and import them over. This is very useful for anyone who has burned their ME1 files to the ground and salted them.

MASS EFFECT 2 FACE CODES

Did you know you can input a code at the bottom of the character customization screen and it will make a face? This is how you can share your horrendous (or beautiful) Shep with the world! A collection of such codes is found here:

http://www.masseffect2faces.com/

For example, the code for my FemShep's face is: 743.W9G.1M7.F8A.JDQ.62Q.1DA.711.966.413.2G6.276

    It's not quite as convincing when you post that in every thread.

    Also, I just noticed that Jack seems to have a leather top under her straps... this is not the case in game.

    on the other hand I have more crew members and loyalty missions than I know what to do with. is it possible to do all of them? I'm kind of afraid that depending on who I pick up last, enough 'time' wont have passed for the loyalty mission to open up.

    As far as I know you have all the time in the world, until you do the IFF mission

    If you're talking about the OP's picture, it's actually very related to the ending of the game.

    Holy fuck that human reaper was creepy as shit. Naturally I blew up their base because the Illusive Man is a silly goose and I'm not giving him what he wants. My only beef: Jacob and Miranda both died. Jacob after the tech specialist part, and then Miranda died offscreen I guess? She got shot but said she was okay to go, then I never saw her again. Now she's dead.

    Man that was badass.

    How does everyone know who Cerberus are?

    From the last game, they were represented as this rogue alliance black ops unit that operated in the background, trying to keep a low profile.

    Well, your previous squad mates would know them from the various projects you trashed.

    The general public would only know that they are classified as a rogue group by the alliance and that they are bad. Most would never question whether that information is propaganda or not.

    What did you do to keep everybody alive? I had loyalty maxed out for everyone but Miranda and Jacob still bought the farm anyway.
