    Can anybody tell me what happens on Tuchanka if you killed Wrex on Virmire? The canon choice seems to be that Wrex lives, and theres no way in hell I'm playing through Mass Effect 1 again just to see what happens.

    I thought I read that the default choice is the other way around.

    It is. I played through once with my paragon save from ME1 and then again as a fresh new character.

    Some changes from a non-import playthrough:
    Wrex is dead. A relative is running the show and is a traditionalist.
    Conrad Verner is nowhere to be seen in Illium
    The council is dead.
    If you save the rachni, you get a message from them through an NPC. If you start new, you don't even see that NPC.

    Edit: Guys, let's also not forget that Simon Templeman is the voice of one of the quarian admirals.

    Yeah the default choices are Wrex dead, rachni dead, male Kaiden, female ash, council dead.

    You get to pick Anderson or udina in the shuttle at the start. (this is with imported characters too, because in me1 you finale save is made before you pick them at the end)

    When I watched the voice acting video before the game came out, I was all "Hell yeah Jeyne Cobb up in this mother." Only to find out he's barely in the game at all. /weep.

    I chose to overwrite them on my paragon run (which I always do paragon most of the time). It was a pretty difficult decision, but in the end I figured that it was almost like curing a disease or giving a psychopath meds. Maybe it will come back to bite me, but I think it was the right thing to do.

    If Shep's a male, then Kaiden died. Female - Ash died (dunno if romance is implied or not. Anyone know?)

    Why would they apologize? Nobody knows any details about what you did this time around...just like the last game.

    Probably a "typo". When you do a new run, whether you get Kaiden or Ashley on Horizon is based on the gender of your character (Ex: Femshep gets Kaiden).

    My good man, watch this:

    I'm sure you'll recognize more than one voice actor, too.


    I personally was surprised they didn't have Miranda and the quarian Marine in a scene together or something or had special dialogue since their VA's are on that show on TV together

    That is cool. I wish they showed off the party members though. Besides Miranda, that is. I want to see the faces behind Mordin and Thane.

    Wait a minute... I did not get the cuddling option in bed with Garrus (my Fem Shep). It just cut away from an awkward scene where she's holding his face. What the hell?

    I'm glad I'm playing through this again, because I clearly missed a lot on my first play through.

    No, it's not explained.

    People have theories but I imagine we won't find out till ME3; or if we're lucky some good DLC.

    Kal'Reeger is more or less confirmed for ME3.
    When you're about to disembark from the Migrant Fleet, he tells you that he'll be working on the Dark Matter that is rapidly decaying Haestrom.

    Since that will be a big thing in ME3, it's very likely you'll see him again.

    Oh yes. I was thinking this even before I knew it was Adam Baldwin. The dude just was written and performed exceptionally well.

    Hell, I was beginning to wonder if there might be a Tali-Kal'Reegar romance a-brewin'.
