Can we talk about Mass Effect 2 again

Because I just bought it along with FFX and a preorder for FFXIV

I am terrible at going renegade, I'm almost equal parts paragon / renegade so shephard has these lame slightly healed scars

I banged jack and now she won't talk to me

I've picked up everyone but one squad member who is a mystery, I got all the DLCs, and I tell you what; I don't like the power setup they gave vanguards. I also alienated the fuck out of Miranda and she will never talk to me. And for some reason, when I got grunt's loyalty, he didn't learn fortification. Gay.

I am pretty close I think to passing through the omega 4 relay and I assume the IFF thing has to do with that

Either way, I can't tell whether I enjoy it more then mass effect. There's so much friggin' content but mining is mind-numbingly boring but absolutely necessary

The heavy weapons are terrible except the collector beam, and I hate how there are no real dialogue options for Zaeed or Kasumi

Lets talk about the Mass Effect trilogy and how it feels and what class I should play as on my next playthrough (i am considering infiltrator)

    I honestly can't say one way or the other

    it's like, the content is all there and it's pretty fantastic, but something feels like it's missing

    especially with the lack of gun variety

    I was kinda disappointed at the lack of weapon choice in the sequel but honestly I like basically all the changes they made

    and yeah not having real dialogue with the DLC characters is kinda lame, but Zaeed tells some fun stories

    I really like the renegade/paragon instant decision moments and the characters are definintely much cooler

    I also like the loyalty missions

    I guess I just don't like the armor system that much and I sorta feel like they crippled Vanguard by replacing Warp with that knockdown

    However, the addition of different ammo types and actual clips is incredibly good

    The best heavy weapon is the handheld NUCLEAR EXPLOSION.

    Damn, Fandy. That shit is so useful.

    Yeah well.

    Do you have Heavy Charge and the full Vanguard upgrade that reduces cooldown times of your abilities?

    Because what you should be doing as a Vanguard is Heavy Charging in and shotgunning the fuck out of everyone.

    I don't have that one yet

    I have the one that freezes bitches, but it seems absolutely useless when I could just bring the incredibly overpowered Mordin along

    Don't do this if you're playing on a higher difficulty than normal.

    You will die.

    An insanity Vanguard run has told me so.

    That is exactly what I'm doing

    I also took Barrier as a bonus power thing and picked the Krogan shotgun, I have maxed out charge and vanguard with the single-target rape charge

    I mean between the DLC SMG and the Krogan Shotgun I am a force to be reckoned with I just miss warp because that little three-smack thing is very rarely useful and never in close quarters

    Though I guess I should use it before charge

    Also what armor set is best, it seems like the red cerberus suit is vanguard oriented but I can't decide if any of the prefabs are better then my custom set with the death mask or recon hood

    now I wanna play this again but I let a friend borrow it

    the only DLC I've played is Zaeed's stuff, are the other things worth the money?

    Are you calling Shockwave 'very rarely useful'?

    Oh son, you haven't the slightest clue how fucking baller it is.

    you won't die as long as you are sensible

    besides, heavy charge restores your shields so the answer to "i am dying" is "charge"

    I guess I should use it in conjunction with pull to knock down some bitches before I heavy charge them with my krogan shotgun

    Also I think that Kasumi is worth it because she is literally the best party member

    Garrus is incredibly useful, I usually bring him and Kasumi whenever I go out

    [edit] actually it's a tough call between him and Zaeed, because I like his DLC sniper rifle but I like Zaeeds collector AR
