    I did it the manly way. Killed all the Krogan, then the YMIR then I saved that bitch for last, she was going to taste my biotics.

    I must have been flinging her for like 5 minutes around the room with my crew dead, before I aced her.

    The room you fight her in is just so awkwardly constructed. Like, all of the cover is facing the wrong way, and anywhere you go you are getting flanked.

    I have to say when you talk to TIM

    ending spoilers
    I really wished Shepard said "Your on my Team now" , instead of that just being the summed up choice on the wheel.

    Side note: When you choose that option, i love the look on TIM's face as if he has no choice but to help the idealist out.


    Which ending is the renegade one?

    Because I
    Gave the collector ship to the illusive man, and booooyy do I feel like I did the wrong thing. I'm gonna get betrayed big time in ME3 .......

    Also, Mordin died. :(

    You got the R one.

    I thought so.

    I have been renegade thoughout the entire game, but I dunno. That decision just felt wrong, renegade or not. It's the only decision in the game I regret taking.
    I would much rather have given Tim the finger.
    That would feel more renegade to me.

    But yeah, that happening to shepard would be bad.

    I've seen a similar bug on the 360 where Garrus was on a pillar about twice that height. Bad guys wouldn't shoot him, but he was still shooting them. That was an easy room to get through.

    Kinda had some thoughts I wanted to share on Tali's loyalty mission:
    Finally, we get to see the Migrant fleet! Now this, this is just great. Getting to see more of the lore, whatever you want to call it... diving into the more obscure and vague aspects of the ME universe, it's exactly what a sequel should deliver. And as you walk around the Quarian ship and just take in the sights and conversations swirling about, it's pretty impressive how convincing it all seems. The overall feel is that this is a ship full of various quarians. They all seem to wear different individualized environmental suits and that makes sense, you'd certainly personalize a suit if you had to wear one your entire life. If you actually stop and examine the models closely, you can notice that the models are reused, but that's something you need to work at. Just playing through it naturally, I was wholly impressed by the crowd at the trial and how varied they seemed.

    Now, what I did think was a bit strange... were the admirals. Are admirals supposed to be like, really important officials in Quarian society? Are they the equivalent of admirals in our real life navies? If so... it kinda seems like they maybe ought to have had... more impressive looking environmental suits? Like, when you stop and think about it, it's just weird how their environmental suits don't look any fancier or... more authoritative then, say, the environmental suits of Tali or Kal'Reegar. They don't have any big prominent rank symbols or badges or... I dunno, ribbons or anything that designates them as admirals. I mean, it doesn't even have to be stuff that we see on admiral uniforms today, it could've been something more alien like extra... junk woven into the suits. But... the admirals all just looked pretty plain. There wasn't anything to distinguish them from the quarians seated as observers at the trial. It's a little thing, but I think it would've been a nice touch.

    The end of the okeer mission on insanity CAN GO FUCKING FUCK ITSELF

    Um... Ah... Cain?

    this guy got me out of alot of tough situations on that bullshit insanity run.

    I've been relying on this for Insanity (although I did Okeer before I got it, and it wasn't so bad. Miranda's heavy warp to kill a krogans armor, concussive shot with Zaeed, concussive shot from me ass it gets up, repeat), and carried it in thinking it would help me against the Pretorian at the end of Horizon.
    So I finally manage to wear out the Scions via some extremely cheesy circle strafing, and I get set up.
    Pretorian lands in the center, and I fire up the Cain.
    And I miss, and end up shooting the wall at the back of the area.

    After a short rage scream ("CAAAAAAAAIN!"), I just about manage to bring it down.
    The shock wave was enough to drop its armor by about 90% though.
    Would a direct hit have taken it out in one go? I'm not looking forward to the collector ship.

    Quarian Admirals seem to be little more than politicians, or respected/powerful individuals.
    If you get Tali off the hook, people are putting her name out as an admiral, and she's never been a captain or a real part of the Quarian 'military'. Hell, iirc she's only like 22.

    The bolded is correct. The Admiralty board, for the most part, has very little power. The Conclave is where the real decision making goes on.

    The Admiralty simply holds the power to (as a collective) voted to veto the Conclave, and can only do so once before the entire board is forced to resign and new ones are picked. They also deal with treason charges.

    Well that's fair play if you can do the part you're stuck on. If you're there for a good 10-12 retries and visibly not making any progress, then you might as well switch out to the Cain and get the job done so you can continue. As Marcellus Wallace said; "Fuck pride. Pride only hurts."

    Also, I'd hate to get to a situation on Insanity where the only way to continue is to essentially "RAAM" when I have a legitimate, albeit slightly overpowered weapon to escape said bind.

    I dunno, I never found a fight on insanity where I felt like I had tried everything and I was just stuck. There were certainly some where I died a bunch of times (you know the one I'm talking about, in the superspoiler location midway through the game), but once I did it a few times and got a good handle on what kill order worked best I made it through.

    Plus it seems like most of the really hard fights on insanity wouldn't be helped that much by having the cain. Maybe the first wave at the end of horizon.

    Speaking of small nuclear explosions, I had no idea that if you kill one of the huge battle mechs on insanity by shooting it in the head, it would go nuclear and kill everything around it.

    Near the end of
    Garrus' loyalty mission when you fight the two big mechs at once, I was hiding behind a crate with both of them in front of me standing next to each other. I had whittled one down, but hadn't touched the other. I turn on my cloak and pop it in the head, but instead of falling to it's knees it stands there and vibrates for a second and then BOOOM completely kills the other mech (from full health and amour) and my teammates.

    If Miranda does not have Area Warp by that point, or Mordin doesn't have Area Incinerate by then, I will be boned.

    Also, I take back everything I said about the Engineer. Veteran made it dull because things die too quickly. On Insanity? That Combat Drone is amazing, effectively CCing anything - synthetics, organic, whatever. And Cryo Blast, wow... Never seen a krogan go down so quickly.

    No no no,
    One of the flavour speeches with Grunt after you let him out of the tank talks about some battle, and he's giggling at a memory of a Turian with a blade jammed under a faceplate that's about to be ripped off, and he makes a pun about getting the point, and does air-quotes.

    Questions/Speculation with spoilers on ME2 ending/future of ME3:
    Did two play throughs, one paragon and one renegade, both ME1 imports for respected alignments. My question is, how the hell is Bioware going to make ME3's story work? My endings and decisions throughout are so different, I just can't see how it would work.

    Just a few differences between my two campgains:

    Paragon

    - Ashley and Wrex live from first one
    - alien council survived, anderson in charge for humanity
    - Arachni live from first and contacted me in second telling me they'll aid me in future
    - Krogan race will likely survive (Wrex leading, Grunt all clanned up, Mordin regrets his genophage work/saved data and is working on cure)
    - Legion is team member and I rewrote the Geth to be happy go lucky guys instead of Reaper slaves
    - Quarians will try to work out their differences with the Geth/wont go to war (or Ive made my choices around promoting the no war and finding new settlement)
    - Collector base destroyed, Cerberus flipped off
    - everyone survived, sexed up tali (oh yeahhhh)

    Renegade

    - Wrex is dead
    - Arachni wiped out
    - Human led council with udina leading it
    - mordin doesnt give a fuck about krogan, clans in dissarray, likely stay weak and non-factor
    - legion was traded into cerberus for monies, didnt even get rewrite mission
    - gave collector base to cerberus, still friends wtih illusive man
    - crew mostly all dead
    - Quarians encouraged to go to war with geth (who are probably all reaper slaves now without rewrite)

    And those are just a few of bigger differences I can think of off top of my head.


    ME1 to ME2 was pretty easy to reconcile with only a few minor differences from what I could see (been a while since I played 1, but didnt notice anything crazy different other than the council). But with the end to ME2, I can't see how this will even work with just those chagnes listed above and not even counting probably the dozen or so other ones Ive forgotten.

    Like, Paragon should be an all-out alien assault with aid from Arachni, Geth, rebuilt Krogan race and human and alien council working together. My Renegade has my entire team wiped out and all races royally fucked over. Will they just take the Collector base and use the tech to bolster humanity and have it humans/Cerberus vs Geth/Reapers?

    It's just so crazy how each ended. I cant see how ME3 will have a unified opening for both characters like ME2 did. I guess it'll be radically different play throughs from the get-go.

    Why is there not a "Hey guys, we found this badass research up there that..uh..tali pieced together. Yeah. That'll help you guys virus up the geth and get back your homeworld." Instead, saying you hope their war goes well is a renegade option? Buh? Did I miss somehow being able to help them take back the world from the murderous AI people while being a good guy?

    Geth control too much and the world's are too far gone now. They would lose most of their fleet, if not all, in an assault on the Geth. Encouraging their war would be a renegade option. You want to tell them to give it up and settle somewhere else.

    I can't really say too much about it because it was switched around a couple times and I didn't follow those changes that closely.

    Basically the idea was to have the first part of the game on the first disk and then the second part of the game on the second disk, that had some ... complications, then I THINK the idea was to have the beginning of the game and the end of the game on disk1 and the rest on disk2.

    All this shuffling ended up being a result of trying to fit the game on two DVDs instead of three.

    In order for the game to work off both disks there's a number of duplicate files that have to be on both disks, so the shuffling at the end was us trying to keep everything together for the end user while minimizing disk utilization.

    It was a very tight squeeze, I think we only ended up with something like 30 or 50 megabytes of breathing room in the end.

    Also, about Tali's loyalty mission.
    Why is there not a "Hey guys, we found this badass research up there that..uh..tali pieced together. Yeah. That'll help you guys virus up the geth and get back your homeworld." Instead, saying you hope their war goes well is a renegade option? Buh? Did I miss somehow being able to help them take back the world from the murderous AI people while being a good guy?
    Geth control too much and the world's are too far gone now. They would lose most of their fleet, if not all, in an assault on the Geth. Encouraging their war would be a renegade option. You want to tell them to give it up and settle somewhere else.
    Yep.

    It's kinda terrible to tell a people to go fight a war when they're in dire fucking straits everytime their suits spring a leak.

    I assume it's a safe bet that if I loved Mass Effect 1 and 2, that I would like Dragon Age: Origins? How similar are the two?

    Pretty brutal shot at Valentines' Day, although I can say I'm displeased by it. :D

    “Many human planets and colonies celebrate St. Valentine's Day today, a holiday themed around romantic love and the greeting card industry. Prospective or established mating partners exchange love notes with one another, and some add gifts of cut flowers, jewelry, or sugary confections in the hopes of receiving sexual favors. Industry insiders estimate over 2 billion Valentine messages will be sent this year on Earth and an additional 5 billion throughout the human colonies. The holiday is rapidly spreading among the asari and volus, who embrace its unusual mix of commerce and reproduction.”

    So is someone recording all these Cerberus messages or are we going to have to appeal directly to Bioware?

    not sure if someone already responded to this, I'm a few pages behind, but just in case nobody did...

    Everytime I think Legion can't get any cooler, he does.
