Watching Lost last night, someone called Jack, Sheperd in the middle of the show. It was a weird moment, since Sheperd, to me, is a space-cruising bad ass that is either incredibly kind and merciful or a total bastard to anyone in her way.
Dr. Jack of Lost in space. I wonder if I can make his face into the ME2 face generator?
You have to recover that Cerberus operative from the mercenaries. Turns out he's dead so you have to recover his data. And then you get the choice to send it back to Cerberus or slip it to the Alliance. I did the latter. Got a very nice email from the Alliance for it. However no response from Cerberus. Shouldn't they be pissed off with me?
A lot of people seem to be (suicide mission spoilers):
Sending Legion through the vents, opposed to Tali. What, you guys don't think the gal can handle herself? :P I'm one to talk though, I sent Legion through anyway, just to hear more of D.C. Douglas.
Addendum: Screw you EDI, I'll probe Uranus if I damn well want to.
Reading the descriptions they give you when it's time to pick dudes, Legion is as intelligent as all geth, a dude who's got the collected knowledge of an entire race for as long as they've existed. Also, there was some hubbub about "Oh no! He could hack our ship if you turn him back on!"
Tali's got skills, but I was just thinking:
1) Jacob just said it was a suicide mission.
2) Takes a computer to beat a computer.

You can also keep it for yourself, which I did. Always a good thing to have something to blackmail people with.

If it's the mission I'm thinking of, I did something different:
I kept the data for myself. EDI said something to me about analyzing it next time I was on the Normandy.
I have 100% in every system and other people confirmed most of these. I guess it's possible.
But I specifically didn't list a few N7 missions that you get from e-mail alerts. I just listed the anomaly ones, so that people would know to go to these planets and start scanning, if they didn't want to waste time flying to every system.
What are the 3 mission names and I'll check?

Love. You can know all the math in the 'Verse, but take a boat in the air you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she oughta fall down, tells ya she's hurtin' 'fore she keels. Makes her home.

that it will take about a year to decrypt teh data, just in time for me3 i would think.

I still figure it's better off in my hands, and I can decide later whether Cerberus or Alliance needs it, depending on what it is.
EDIT: Too slow. :x

I hope to god this isn't a suit and and just modular parts to form an assault armor.
10 to 1 it's a full armor set. I'd love it to be modular, but I'm guessing not. Which means I'll never use it, because I hate walking around with a helmet on when I don't need to.
Bioware, if you're watching, let us take the helmets off at least. Then I'd be more inclined to use the Terminus or Blood Dragon armor. As it is, though, my N7 is pretty bad-ass in Carbon Grey (the default) with White details, and the Stripe Pattern in Orange.

ahh well its possible 3 are the ones from email, i just counted i have 19 n7 missions where as there are 16 in that list, off the top of my head
the geth crashing the ship into the colony, the lost operative and one more i cant remember, but i did everything in the game and aside from any quest locked out by choices in me1 im not aware of, there are 19 n7 missions in total.

I'm pretty sure that the data is proof that Cerberus were involved in turning the rachni into a bio-weapon
Jacob led the second squad both times
Tali went into the vent
Legion took the survivors back to the Normandy
Jack provided the swarm barrier while I had Grunt and Samara fighting alongside
Grunt and Jack were my squad - Shockwave provided awesome AOE and crowd clearing while Grunt just charged anyone who got in close. I used Reave and incendiary ammo to take care of Harbinger any time he assumed control.
I had everybody's upgrade recommendations. All of the ship upgrades as well as the weapon upgrades requested by Legion and Grunt. I never got to see Legion's badass sniper rifle in action, though.
Everyone made it back alive.

I would sing Bioware's praises if they could just put in a helmet toggle with those armors.

And it was in the first game. Baffling why it was removed. Toggle in options worked for helmet fans or helmet haters. Either way everyone was happy. Why take it out? :?

I'm sitting through the endless pain that is work: post me2 thinking about what I should do in me2 when I get home (I hate myself.) I'm trying to decde which weapon to get at the collector ship on my Sentinel. I'm playing through on insanity and I know I'll be going with either the Sniper or Assault Rifle. Any suggestions as to which would be more beneficial?
*ps: I have warp ammo as my bonus power.

they havent, its just on bonus armours that really aren't worth it in the first place.
Oh but they have. Even in the custom armor setup if you don't have something on your head your not getting a bonus. It basically means that my Shep looks like he's got a mask fetish or something. That or he really, really likes his techglasses.

i never used helmets and i did fine, i only ever used the visor due to looking kinda badass.

I did find that to be an odd omission, considering it was in the first game.
My final mission:
Full loyalty, all upgrades
Sent Thane in as the tech guy, died. Reloaded and chose Tali instead, survived.
Garrus as second team leader, both times, survived.
Jack as biotic, survived.
Zaeed as escort, survived.
So I originally got one death, but I didn't think it through that much. I figured it was like a "this team member will most likely die" choice, like in the first game.

I took the Sniper. I have not been disappointed with this choice. It's the Viper, which I guess isn't the OMG BOOM HEADSHOT sniper, but rather the weaker semi-auto, but I've already gotten plenty of use from it. The only thing I don't like is that I "scope" whenever I use a power from cover.

It's a fine weapon the Viper. But a Widowmaker with a properly speced Assassin/Assassin Cloak/Heavy Disruptor Ammo/Enhanced Geth Shields can 1 shot a YMIR mecha. Boom.

I think not having a helmet should confer something though. Maybe 3% accuracy due to not having to look through the helmet visor, or 3% storm speed because you're lighter. If they're not gonna let you toggle, it shouldn't be entirely worthless.

I had a suicide mission question..
I lost my crew and then did a bunch of sidequests. Will I save more people if I go right after? Also seeing Yeoman Chambers being liquified haunts my dreams.

That would be fine, or perhaps a more open face visor like the Quarians have. Heh. Shep in a Quarian suit helmet. Just something so you can see Shep's expressions more.

Don't dick around. Once they get captured, head right through the Omega 4 Relay. And yes, I can never let that happen to Kelly.
I beat this game last week. 37hrs and it was a blast. I visited EVERY planet, got every weapon / armor upgrade,
and saved my whole crew
.
The one thing I wasn't too thrilled about was the lack of armor / weapons. Did I miss something? I only had like 3 of each weapon type (except heavy weapons), and minimal armor choices.
I wish there would be an option to sell resources for credits, I know there was a couple things I left in shops due to lack of credits.

You have time left for 1 more loyalty mission basically. (Maybe a 1 more side beyond that...but not much else.) It's kinda set up so you can do Legions Loyalty before the endgame.

Yes.
You have time for one mission after everyone is kidnapped. That mission should be Legion's loyalty mission. Do everything else you want to do before the IFF.

by choosing Samara instead of Jack as the barrier person. That's the only think I can think of. I mean, Jack just inexplicably died...don't even now how it happened, just a shot of her dead on the floor

Yeah My perception is a little screwed on this. I did absolutely everything, sans Legions' loyalty, before getting the IFF (you can't even do Legion Loyalty quest before you get the IFF anyway). EDI kept telling me she needed to test the new IFF, so I went off and did his mission. When I came back and tried to go somewhere else, bam. Collector attack on the Normandy.

When I went to the galaxy map, EDI said to use the shuttle for the next mission, which normally should lead to your crew being abducted. Except it let me go to the normal galaxy map instead and run Legion's mission.. then next time I tried to use the map, the crew got abducted.

I just really wish it gave more time to do other stuff with Legion, like take him to the Citedal or the Flotilla. The way it's set up now makes it impossible to do so without getting your crew killed.

imho Kelly was a throw away character that will have little to no importance in 3 if you do manage to save her. Do what you need to do: side quests, loyalty missions, anomally's and dont worry so much about it . personally I think it makes the game that much more powerful if its Kelly that is harvested instead of some random person with no meaning to you. Makes the first scene back in the empty ship that much more powerfull.

Dr. Jack of Lost in space. I wonder if I can make his face into the ME2 face generator?
Well... Ben Hur had Quintis as a brit. Spartacus had Laurence Olivier and Charles Laughton, also brit. So I guess a british accent :P
Also, took Warp Ammo as my bonus research power, upgraded to Squad. This shit is incredible.
Tali's got skills, but I was just thinking:
1) Jacob just said it was a suicide mission.
2) Takes a computer to beat a computer.
