it's an awesome one.

that'd be awesome
So I stumbled across this quote. I notice that was dated to feburary, we had any new information since then?

that's why Sovereign is always more awesome
(obviously massive ME1 spoilers)
nothing so far. i'm thinking it's MMO games set in the DA:O and ME universes. if it is, i won't be able to partake in them anyway.

Ah perhaps I will ahve to replay the end again then. I think I have a save before everything got all weird.
i actually reloaded my save a few times and replayed that section again, just because it was so awesome.
EDIT: i'd like to hear how other classes actually handle that end part. i did it on my vanguard and just charged the opposition, but there's like zilch cover at the end. is there some pattern or easily-grasped method to it? i kinda blundered my way through each time.

the Bestfiltrator method:
cloak and use the Viper as your pop-up blocker
Yeah, the overlord end section was weird:
I never played the end bit with Legion - did he have any input to the choice or any reaction to the fallout?
I did it as a Vanguard as well and it was Locust time at the start till I got down to an acceptable number of enemies. I felt bad for playing it that way but that gun is just ridiculous so I wnt with it. If your talking very end then it was Locust for the nodes and the nuke when it opened.
Also Envoy's question
AND YOU WILL END BECAUSE WE DEMAND IT
i love how sovereign's voice just completely bottoms out my subwoofer there. harby just doesn't have the same presence.

Really? Hurm, I would love some Reaperless Mass Effect (sorry guys, but space cthulu and big bads zomg whole galaxy threatened in general aren't my thing), and would adore some small scale stories which let you be something other than human/spectre, and some multi team work. Then again, MMOs aren’t my thing either. Come on Phantasy Star Online style or something.
Though they’re doing some kind of dialog system in the Kotor MMO right? How does that work?
Edit: Like multiple people with an NPC I mean, not you know, just with other players.
I hadn't played my current ME2 save for a while as I got distracted by RDR. I downloaded Overlord, started it up, and as soon as I went to start it, Edi goes off and next thing I know I'm playing as joker as collectors take my crew. I rebooted and tried ad different mission, and same thing that plot point kept going off. So I'm stuck with no crew with cues to go through the Omega Relay. I have about six more loyalty missions to do after I finish Overlord (I chose to play through Overlord no matter what happens to crew). Now my question is, can I still finish the loyalty missions without mucking up anything with my crew? Or should I forget the loyalty missions and initiate the end game as soon as possible?
Thanks!
Godspeed, Ironsides.
unless you start the endgame immediately and are rreeeeaaaaaallllly lucky
Ok, so should I just skip the loyalty missions? I guess I wouldn't hurt to have one disaster save file for ME3 :P
Godspeed, Ironsides.

Went through on Normal with my ME1 imported male Paragon Engineer, and had an absolute blast. I enjoyed the combat (even if the presence of cover made it obvious when a fight was about to errupt 90% of the time), loved the dialogue and was really, deeply impressed with the little notes, nods, messages and references made to my actions not just in the game, but in the previous one as well.
Which is to say I'm months behind and you guys have probably already been over this a dozen times, but I'm done and wanted to share with someone who might possibly give a shit.
Bits I loved (are we still spoilering ME2, or just the new content?);
- Playing as Joker, and then later his and EDI's interactions. Joker was pretty awesome in the first game, but they really improved on him for this one. Great humour and his playable sequence was one of my favourite parts of the game. His delivery of the line "What the shit?" kills me every time I hear it, and seeing him provide cover fire at the very end was pretty awesome too.
- Speaking of which; the whole suicide mission was epic on a scale I simply wasn't prepared for. The lead in cinematic was something I'd have paid to see in a movie, especially when we got to take out the ship that ruined the first Normandy. Having the full cast working throughout the invasion of the collector ship and swapping teams up multiple times really gave the sense of scope/scale and including everyone that I feel is often missing from these games, where you have a team of a half dozen or more, but when it comes down to the end only a small handful actually seem to do anything. I think the last game I played that gave attention to this minor detail was Final Fantasy 6. Without any help I managed to get 9/10 back on the the suicide run (for some reason when Miranda was my Biotic shield, Jack got eaten by the swarm. Had Samara as the shield on my second playthrough of that section, and everyone made it back easily).
I'm thinking I may push my Engineer on to get the last 4 or 5 levels I need for the Level 30 achievement and then either start a fresh character, pick up my imported Paragon Soldier, or go back to ME1 and finish my Forar: Biotic Douchebag renegade run for importing.
Oh, and this is the second time I've bought a ME game and gotten screwed on the pricing. The first time I bought ME1 during the holiday sale, and literally 2 weeks later they dropped the price below the price the sale had been at, which was weird. This time, I bought DA:O and ME2 within a couple of weeks of each other.. and then had the EA sale week go down shortly thereafter. I mean, it's not like giving money to Valve and Bioware is poorly spent, but I found the timing of the sales hillarious.
I'll be sure to warn you guys the next time I plan to buy a big Bioware title, so you can all wait 2 weeks and then buy it on sale. 8-)
This is my first run with Zaeed and Kasumi though. She is pretty awesome with her Shadowstrike. Zaeed is one scary looking mutha'.
You don't learn his plan until the last planet, and then it's oh shiiiiiiiiiiiit.
Sigh...stupid financial responsibility. I'd love to build a new PC *right now* but that'll have to wait a few months, at least....
I keep wondering if I should play ME1 since I haven't ever touched it. At the same time I don't feel like being frustrated by the differences between the games.
