    Heavy Singularity is the best Husk-killing weapon in the game, hands down.

    won't be c), at least not directly:
    regardless of what you decide to do during tali's trial (paragon, renegade, neutral), the quarians are pretty much a splintered nation simply due to what Rael was doing on the allarai. Renegade shep provides this evidence during the trial, paragon shep gets a mail later on in the game from an admiral. same difference. I'm guessing me3 will, ironically, feature pro-geth quarians and "heresy"quarians that want to kill them all ;)

    I suppose you could make an expansion with that, you'd get to play as tali and legion and go on all sorts of bonding adventures together!
    If ME3 does not include this, I'll switch to EVERQUEST:
    Shepard will have the option of allying either with the Geth or Quarians to conquer the other and deploy their fleet against the Reapers. The ultimate Paragon option, of course, will be to convince the Quarians and Geth to bury the hatchet and launch BOTH of them against the enemy.

    I would not be surprised to see an expansion pack which sets this up.

    the only problem with singularity against husks is that it fills up in like three seconds

    hoo boy I regretted not re-specing to heavy when I did that mission

    I thought I'd be clever and use it to cover me while I finished off the scions

    Started my Adept run last nite during halftime of the national championship. He is now in orbit around Freedom's Progress, waiting for Kasumi. Y'all are big fans of Heavy Singularity, then ?

    I think Wide is probably more generally useful

    husks are the only thing that really clump up in big groups

    Respeccing with the long service bonus is pretty damn trivial and there are only a couple of missions where husks are really a problem.

    Go for wide for general use though.

    True. And, since I now know when Husks are coming, I build a heavy AOE squad accordingly. Zaeed for Inferno Grenade, Jack for Shockwave or Samara for Warp Field.

    When asked why Mass Effect 2 lacks the option for gay sexual enterprises, the developer explained that the game has a "PG-13 movie" feel, and that homosexual acknowledgement would compromise that.

    People swear like sailors, sons give dads guns so they can commit suicide, your sexy secretary gets melted before your eyes. Yeah, real PG-13 feel there.

    Also, gays aren't PG-13, I guess.

    So, Kasumi Goto, what is it that you do ?

    I'm an art thief, Commander Shepard.

    You're not a gay art thief, are you ?

    Not so you'd notice, no.

    Great, cuz that would be very boring. You are aware of our mission, right ?

    Yes, we are out to defeat a gang of evil art Collectors. Says so right here on the gamebox.

    Yes, that's disappointing. The game is rated M; they should ditch the PG-13 idea because of the rating. There's no real reason to avoid homosexual relationships except possibly that they don't want to be inundated with complaints from the usual quarters.

    casey's point seems to be an elaborate way of saying "jeez some people aren't gay get over it, stop trying to trib with tali"

    ray's point is "well actually shepard isn't your character specifically but you can influence him/her within a spectrum" which is kinda true

    still disappointing bioware is all no homo, it's more glaringly apparent seeing as they have equality of options for male, female, and loads of racial options too

    god knows jacob would be more interesting if he was A Gay

    you can literally fucking fire straight down at the floor and kill any husk around you

    @scooter

    don't worry about it, really.

    demand's far more than supply at this point. i don't think a single item has gone for less than 10k.

    also also, thanks for the vanguardin' tips. i think i'll respec to reave, i liked it last playthrough with the ability to "BLAMMO" a foe's barrier

    and yes, passive power's gonna need some points. D:

    Renegade option should be to...
    Let Admiral Xan deploy Rhael'Zora's virus to re-enslave the Geth to use against the Reapers. You will, of course, have to put Legion down Wrex style if you choose this option.

    The date at the end of the video is 4/06/10. Maybe they're using YY/DD/MM instead which means it's coming out on October 10th, 3004?
