    Just curious, what was wrong with Grunt's Fortification power? I didn't seem to notice anything about it when I had to use him.

    Also, ammo not flashing anymore is a little detail but will help alot if you're not sure if you need more ammo on your non-equipped weapons.

    Grunt had a bug where he would sometimes not unlock his loyalty power if you did the pyjack shooting minigame, as I would recall. It would list him as loyal, but you couldn't spend points on his ability.

    Wow, no fix for the Samara loyalty mission bug? Maybe they just didn't list it? Or the fact that you can screw up Tali's loyalty mission if you talk to the one chick before the first trial (which actually skips the entire trial sequence). Or team members becoming "stuck" where they won't move or attack at all - that one is really annoying. Or hell, the controller dead zone issues (Shepard likes to drift when the controller is at the center position - it's not game breaking but it is annoying as hell).

    Wonder if "text and the menu screen" includes the fact that it always says there is DLC available before it connects to the server to find out there is not :P

    The ammo power thing is a good fix though - god the AI could be annoying with that sometimes.

    I wonder what the "enemies and cover" issue was. I can think of so many issues with cover that it's hard to guess what they could have fixed :P (most notably how your squadmates love to stand up and run around after you tell them to stay in cover.. that's always fun)

    So just beat Benezia on my first ME1 playthrough, and for it I decided to switch from my usual team of either Wrex or Garrus, plus Tali to the other two lassies (Benezia's daughter and the other one...can't remember her name) and that fight with that team can just f*ck itself right up the ass. Last time I try switching characrters for story reasons :p

    Not to change the topic or anything, but I'm doing my second ME2 playthrough now, and I'm at the very beginning and I'm wondering

    How to Shep and Jacob not notice that
    Wilson is a traitor
    immediately? He's alone...in a room full of dead bodies...claiming he was shot by mechs that he killed...with no dead mechs.

    Frankly, I wondered why Shepard trusted Miranda so much to begin with. He draws down on her, and then he's all "well, if you say so!" when she gives him a not-all-that-convincing bit of speculation. I kept expecting the mech scenario to be an elaborate way for Miranda and TIM by proxy to gain Shepard's trust. After all, it doesn't make sense for a mole to suddenly out himself without any kind of preset escape plan.

    I'm still not fully convinced of Miranda's purpose. She could still be a way to keep an eye on Shepard for TIM, and nothing more. (Have you seen her response if you turn down the final romantic option? She gives off a constant predatory vibe that's just downright creepy) Guess we'll find out next game.

    Miranda does have the Normandy bugged tighter than the American embassy in Moscow. Several squadmates mention their various quarters being wired from floor to ceiling with hidden cameras and listening devices, so it's clear that she doesn't really trust anybody.

    That was the Illusive Man, not really Miranda. If I'm remembering right, post game EDI will disable them or something (I know at the very least she will talk about all the previously classified topics).

    Really ? I never spent much time talking to EDI, does it reveal anything interesting ?

    Mordin's, Kasumi's, and Tali's comments about clearing out all of the Cerberus bugs are pretty good.

    It's been awhile since I've done it so I really don't remember too much. I know she will tell you pretty much everything about Cerberus operations, how much money the Illusive Man has, how the ship was built (apparently Cerberus co-built the first Normandy with the Alliance Military which was why they had the schematics), etc. There is actually a surprising number of new post-game conversations on the ship at least.

    Is the additional talent points fix for the pressing A+X when selecting a power evolution bug? Because having every ability evolved makes 3rd-4th runthroughs way more fun. :(

    Seems I'll be doing a lot of cache clearing whenever I start a new playthrough.

    The destroyed mechs disappeared the instant he looked away, just like all the other bodies in Mass Effect.

    Also, if Shepard has listened to all of the audio logs in the Cerberus station,
    he has heard some pretty suspicious stuff from Wilson already.

    The Shadow Broker or The Collectors would be my two bets. It's not as if Cerberus lacks for enemies.

    In fact, a throwaway line in some future DLC saying "Oh, so YOU paid off Wilson to sabotage the Lazarus facility !" wouldn't surprise me.

    I don't think any of the EDI stuff needs to be heard post-game, just any time after
    Joker unshackles her.

    Honestly, if the overseer (Miranda) or head of security (Jacob) were doing their jobs, you'd think they would have noticed the fairly obvious signs left on easily accessed data recorders littered about the place.

    But, then you remember that they were both Cerberus at the the time, so...

    That's probably true. It happens so late though that end game might be the first time you notice (especially with the time limit and all).
