advanced training isn't a power, you just get another gun to use
I meant when you can spend 5000 eezo at the upgrades thing and get one of your squadmates bonus power. Ive been a soldier both times so idk if it's different for other classes and it lets you get a new gun instead of abilities
I think it's sort of funny to imagine what the story would be like if saren and/or sovereign had been just a little bit smarter.
I mean, what if sovereign had just had saren fly it back to the citadel and say "look! I found an awesome piece of prothean tech that can plug into the citadel!"
that turian council member would totally have supported it
Eat it You Nasty Pig. on
hold your head high soldier, it ain't over yet
that's why we call it the struggle, you're supposed to sweat
Insanity run with my Adept isn't going too badly so far. The key is to strip someone quickly of his biotics/shields, then launch a Pull/Warp combo. The resulting blast usually removes half armor of everyone around.
A few Warp ammo rounds (bonus power) and then it's party time. You can finish the remaining however you like.

oh, no. It's just for picking/changing loyalty powers

Let me just dock it at the Citadel for a while. Yeah just ignore that buzzing sound in your head, it's nothing.

So does interrupting dialogue in ME2 work any differently than it did in ME1?
Since there was no interrupting dialogue in ME1, and there are both Paragon and Renegade interrupts in ME2, I'd have to say "yes".
Ah okay. I remember Bioware talking about interrupts in ME1 and while I could select dialogue before someone was finished it really didn't affect anything besides what I did and didn't hear.
Cooowel.

Off-topic, but I've got a book that actually explores stuff like that, albeit looking at actual historical events. Very cool.
Not bad. The final mission was kinda easy (I hit level 30 during it, playing on veteran). Everything was fully upgraded, barring a few shotty and AR that I couldn't afford at the time.
It was pretty cool, but didn't feel anywhere near as epic as the ending to ME1. And seriously, what's the point of a human-shaped Reaper? Especially if all the others in that final cutscene are shaped exactly the same as Sovereign. I expected some variation there, depending on which species was dominant at the time of each reaper's construction.
Still, a satisfying game. Would play again.
They aren't shaped exactly the same. Similar critters but they're mostly different.
Perhaps finished reapers are encased in a tomblike shell for interstellar travel, so that inside those differently shaped structures, the creature running things resembles its parent race. Remember that giant skeleton thing is still very early in construction.

Maybe, or it could just be that anthropomorphism is a recent development.

Yeah, you can still awkwardly skip ahead through dialogue by hitting the spacebar in ME2 (and it still sometimes causes you to choose a dialogue option by accident).
What's different in ME2 is that you can actually interrupt NPC dialogue in ways that changes the plot (or at least earns you Paragon or Renegade points).
Many of these boil down to entertaining variations of the following quote from The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly: "When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk."
Question. About ME1. Only. I haven't started ME2 yet.
So I started ME1 over and something occurred to me. Remember the scientists that lock themselves up in the beginning? The woman and the crazy old one that you can punch?
Are they ExoGeni? They are wearing the ExoGeni uniforms. Also, was that guy hepped up on Thorian spores?

Seriously. They look like giant space squids because they were made out of giant space squids.

If I remember correctly, ExoGeni is responsible for a shitload of human colonization. As for the second question
I don't think so. The Thorian experiment was relatively recent. I think that dude just freaked the fuck out because of the attack.
It also might have been foreshadowing Sovereign's indoctrination effect, since the "Hey, give me your pistol" guy also talks about the horrible sound that Sovereign made during the attack.
forced them to wake up prematurely and straight-up infiltrate the Milky Way head-on, not the ideal plan for them and a pretty dark oncoming fight for us.
And yet that is the best possible solution because,
It forces the Reapers into a standup fight, which they don't like doing.
You'll know. There's a pretty obvious plot development when it does.
You can do about one mission, then the moment you access the galaxy map, shit goes down and the "you might want to wrap things up" clock starts.
This is my second playthrough, but the dang thing just won't get done. I've been traveling around the galaxy doing whatever sidequests I can find. Does it have to be a loyalty or recruitment mission?

I accessed the galaxy map while I had 0 side missions available and 0 loyalty quests available (I hadn't woken up Legion yet) and it triggered instantly.
So it obviously checks the missions you have available, surely you wouldn't have to do more than a couple of those for it to trigger.

I have a few loyalty quests available and the quest to wake up Grunt, but I don't want to do them because I'm trying to see how close I can get to death without actually dying. Any N7 or planet side quest I've been doing.

I think he might be referring to pressing the space bar to skip dialogue. In which case, it works the same clunky way as it did in ME1.
edit: Or not, he's talking about something he didn't know if it was in the game in the first place.

This is pretty simple, people.
They tried to bury us. They didn't know that we were seeds. 2018 Midterms. Get your shit together.
if the people on eden prime are wearing the uniform, then sure, why not?

You think the Reapers are just machines, ready to kill everyone without feeling.
Even genocidal robots have a certain sense of style.
This is something I can sink my teeth into. Thank you.

LITERALLY
They were going to target earth and turn all the humans into a Reaper. Stopping a galactic-scale genocide seems like high enough stakes to me.

It's probably just random or something.
