    just check visit a planet

    if EDI mentions an anomaly scan the planet for a drop point to open up a mission

    That's not N7 missions. That's anomaly missions. I thought maybe there was something I was missing.

    Uh, those are N7 missions. Sorry.

    Ya know I complained about being paragon on that Samara recruiting bit...
    and got pointed out that just a couple people talked about the gang and every member having to make a kill before getting their uniform. So the bitch was a murderer just for the fact that she had the uniform on. And she did draw a gun on you. I'll shoot her even on Paragon runs now.
    True, but I think you find that out after the scene with her. Though I might be mistaken.
    No, Pitne For mentions it like 3 times when you talk to him before the mission.

    N7 stands for Spectres. They are more Cerberus missions if anything. I remember a few of them being Cerberus related anyway.

    N7 does not stand for Spectres, N7 is the highest classification an Alliance Marine can obtain based on extremely difficult training regimens and basically means "certified badass"

    In your Journal, any mission you get from an anomaly is label an N7 Mission, it is the games name for sidequest, nothing more nothing less. It refers to nothing else.

    Also N7 is an Alliance Training Classification, but that has nothing to do with the missions.

    I think I remember wearing an N7 armor suit at the beginning of ME1. Which is odd, because I wasn't a Spectre at the beginning of ME1.

    So I dunno about N7 standing for Spectres.

    Also... I think Spectre is a poor spelling/acronym. I mean, do we still call em theatres and tyres in the future?

    N indicates Alliance Special Forces designation.

    7 indicates level of proficiency. The highest value is 7.

    does Legion ever give a real answer regarding the N7 plate on his shoulder ? I assumed it was a tribute to Shepard being such a dangerous opponent.

    I'm glad sometimes paragon options backfire, and renegade options are validated. Shooting first, asking questions later does sometimes produce valuable results.

    It just further shows that this isn't good/evil morality but rather idealistic/cynical. Neither are the correct choice ALL the time.

    ME1 it was pretty obvious that Paragon was the good guy choice.. Not this time around...since basically 75% of the universe is pricks. Of course
    if the asari and salarian council members were as dicky in ME1 as they were in 2, would you actually still spare them ?

    I feel bleh about the decision now.

    Greedo had already admitted in the conversation that he was going to kill him. Han used a renegade interrupt to shoot first.

    Hm, maybe that should be a paragon interrupt? If you don't shoot first, game over.... :?

    Batman chooses to look that way to frighten criminals.

    Renegade Shepard just looks that way because he's renegade.

    Well, here we go, since I typically don't like space RPG's I never played ME1, but twenty bucks on Steam is too good to let pass and if it's half as goddam awesome as ME2, it will be worth it. I just hope the user interface isn't as bad as it sounds...

    If you've been playing ME2, might want to change the keyboard controls for ME1 to match. Space to pause, shift to run is the default there I think. It was jarring to go from one to the other.
