Don't Fear the Reaper: Mass Effect 2

h hey guys, it's mass effect 2! Still!


The simple FAQ for the endgame:
Why did my men die?

You picked Zaeed.

What if all my men died including Shepard?

You can't make an ME3 game with that data.

How do I not make my men die?


Pick Garrus as the squad leader, Legion as the tech, anybody to lead back the crew, Samara to be the biotic, and Garrus as the squad leader.

When does the endgame start?
2 missions after completing the Reaper IFF mission. You have time to do Legion's loyalty mission and one other story mission.

SUPER SPECIAL BONUS LINKS!!!

MASS EFFECT 1 SAVE FILES
Pissed off that Bioware won't let you choose how to make a new shepard? Want to get the benefits of an imported Shep but want to save the council? Check out: http://www.annakie.com/me/home.htm

They have compiled a lot of ME1 save files, so you can download and import them over. This is very useful for anyone who has burned their ME1 files to the ground and salted them.

MASS EFFECT 2 FACE CODES

Did you know you can input a code at the bottom of the character customization screen and it will make a face? This is how you can share your horrendous (or beautiful) Shep with the world! A collection of such codes is found here:

http://www.masseffect2faces.com/

For example, the code for Munkus' Female Shepard face is: 743.W9G.1M7.F8A.JDQ.62Q.1DA.711.966.413.2G6.276

    I've already decided my third playthrough will be picking all of the middle of the road options. Not paragon, not renegade, doing no interrupts. I have no idea if/how it will change things but I'm looking forward to it.

    Yeah I'm going to do a Paragon ME1 -> ME2 as my next playthrough, since I've never done Paragon in either game.

    But I'll be honest, I'm not looking forward to it as much. I mean I'm curious to see the other half of the conversations that I've never seen before, but Renegade is just so much goddamn fun.

    I would like to pause for a moment, to talk about my penis.
    My penis is like a toddler. A toddler—who is a perfectly normal size for his age—on a long road trip to what he thinks is Disney World. My penis is excited because he hasn’t been to Disney World in a long, long time, but remembers a time when he used to go every day. So now the penis toddler is constantly fidgeting, whining “Are we there yet? Are we there yet? How about now? Now? How about... now?”
    And Disney World is nowhere in sight.

    you just
    go down to the AI core and interact with him. i don't think you need to read TIM's e-mail to you about Legion before you go, but i haven't tried it without reading that e-mail.

    Using the Widow, had a great shot lined up, and just as I began depressing the left mouse button, the back of Jacob's head pops up right and I was barely able to keep from nailing him the back of the head by pretty much just tossing my mouse across the desk.

    after this first playthrough as my general self (about 50% renegade, 30% paragon) i have to do two more playthroughs:

    goody two-shoes paragon with all the upgrades and loyalties and everyone alive
    jerkface renegade with nothing upgraded and nobody loyal

    this is a pretty brilliant game i have to say

    V, some guy at GameFAQs apparently tested it and yeah, husk crotches aren't just critical spots, they literally count as heads for all intents and purposes... so I guess it'd apply to similar weak points too

    BOC are awesome, although once upon a time the "MORE COWBELL" and Walken-related commentary confused the fuck out of me because as a kid my main exposure to 'em was my dad's gigantic LP collection
