    360 version. Though still I would have to change my hair, until I can have a fabio mane he will not be perfect. Sadly, it is not an option.

    Did you import from ME1?

    I hate it that they don't give you the code :(

    Terminus doesn't look horrid, except you look like you would be a villain in Tron.
    Dragon = Cylon
    Collector = "why the fuck are people not scared?"

    Terminus is too...sharp.

    Dragon armor has those stupid hip pads.

    Collector makes you look like a giant bug.

    Yeah, they're all bad.

    Edit: Yeah. I did.

    You don't get face codes from ME1 imports, it seems.

    I don't know why. Across all my attempts I've gotten a) no face code on my squad screen b) the default face code and c) a face code that is utterly wrong when i key it in

    I gave up.

    By the way, I just did the side mission N7 - Captured Mining Facility where you decrypt some code to find out where the Ter Alan ship is, while fighting Eclipse mercs. At the end it says it needs more decryption and is uploaded to Cerberus and they'll let you know when it's done.

    ... Does this ever happen?

    I'm not sure... I always kept the data for myself..because I don't trust nobody but me :mrgreen:
    this is the data that the captured Cerberus spy had, correct?

    You should have a message waiting for you. Or wait, maybe that's the wrong mission I'm thinking of.

    EDIT - Shit, right, I don't think there was another one after that. I thought the Eclipse were pretty underrepresented in the side missions. Then again you did get a fucking ton of them in the one recruitment mission.

    I've heard rumblings that if the face code you get is wrong, it will correct itself once you're to Freedom's Progress. I don't know if it's true or not since I refuse to use any of my original faces, looking as awful as I think they do in ME2.

    In fairness once you have decided to name your merc group "Blue Suns" or "Blood Pack" the colors become sort of obvious.

    Its just a happy little coincidence? I think not.

    THE REAPERS PLANNED THIS.
    starting a merc clan that lends itself to a secondary Color or even....dare I say... tertiary color is one of the only ways to fight the Reapers!

    But why would you want to? What looked good in ME1 was even narrower than in ME2. Shepard variety is the spice of life.

    The killing shot has to destroy the head, which requires somewhat substantial damage. Your best bet is a weapon that does a lot of damage in a single shot. A sniper rifle or the carnifex are good choices.
