~~~DLC~~~

Blood Armour - Buy dragonage
Collector's Armor - Buy a CE version of the game
Collector's Rifle - Also in the CE version
The Cerberus Card - Pay content, but every new game comes with on in pack! Saves you fifteen dolla!
Inferno Armour - Pre-order code from whomever you bought it from
Black Hole Gun - Gamestop only preorder gun.


~~~Characters~~~


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
There is also Morinth, but there's no reason to bang a chick who's just going to kill you. Right, fellas?

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)

Jacob is quite capable of escorting the crew back to the ship.

Pay attention to peoples' biographies! Power does not equal good leadership!

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 Munkus' Female Shepard face is: 743.W9G.1M7.F8A.JDQ.62Q.1DA.711.966.413.2G6.276

http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Mass_Effect_Wiki

It's got lore, answers and pictures! Neat!


Credit to Munkus for the OP, that reaper picture was stupid though.

    The writing in this game is pretty fantastic, yeah. Though my favorite moment of the series so far is still the conversation you have with Sovereign in ME1. That was, hands down, the best thing.

    I suggest Mordin or Tali if you don't plan to bring them with you, they don't hold out as long as everyone else.

    Bought this game tooonight

    hoping it runs well enough on my compuuuter

    torn on the gender of the shep though. i liked the female VA in ME1 a bit better the male (though not by a whole lot) but what little I've heard about the Tali romance sounds pretty much up my alley in that it avoids a lot of the creepy awkward feeling I got from the ME1 romances.

    I enjoyed Mark Meer's VA work in ME2, though to be honest, I didn't think it was bad in ME1.

    The tali romance is pretty aces. So is Thane's. But then, who doesn't love fish sticks?

    Tali's combat drone is named Chikktika, another subtle reference to Baldur's Gate 2. Chikktika Fastpaws is the loyal raccoon familiar of Baervan Wildwanderer, a gnomish deity worshiped by Aerie.
