End-game hot tips:
Garrus has a high defense (in that he will protect more characters), but he will actually die before Legion, Samara, and Thane. Thane is third in line after Grunt and Zaeed when it comes to surviving.
A developer stated that Thane was originally going to have the third highest defense, but when they remembered Garrus' recruitment mission, they switched their defense scores out.
But Garrus will still die before them.
It's in the game files, and BioWare released a Suicide Mission guide on it.

I'm being a jackass to everyone and anyone and making sure they know I hate them. Grunt is still on ice and Legion is getting sold for profit. Accidently got Garrus's loyalty but whatever.
However, I'm wondering how to handles Samara's mission.
New thread smell.
Oddly enough, I've never crashed in ME2 at all.
- The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (2017, colorized)
If you're referring to me and my couple paragraphs on Jacob earlier, bear in mind that I don't find Jacob boring at all. He's one of my favorite ME2 characters, in fact.
- The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (2017, colorized)
I mean most characters were just 2 or 3 dialogue trees, a loyalty quest, and a thank you.
Adding a bit more to talk about...and the interparty dialogue system in DA...would be a big improvement.
Maybe I'm just cynical?
I mean it is being done by Legendary and they've been doing good by me lately.
But it's a video game, they rarely translate well to film.
Either the directors focus too much on what makes it a game and it comes off as way too goofy. Or they don't focus enough and it seems like something else altogether.
Well I mean IF they do it it pretty much cannot be about Shepard. It will have to be focused on some other aspect of the universe. Otherwise it's just going to be a theater split in two over whether or not to
New thread title is worth it.
a little from column A, a little from column B.... :P
mostly i wanted to try out this new thread title :winky:

it just didnt have the same feel of ME, that game was a true BioWare team having rpg, ME2 just seems to try too hard... i dont know, i like it but aghh its ok i guess.
ME2 is just missing some of the stuff that made ME1 good and ME1 just has shitty combat and bloated inventories.
but i just think the feel of ME2 is too hollywoody and pretentious.
Please explain yourself?
Because I mean honestly I would say the story between ME1 and ME2 are the same.
ME1 just had better pacing and explained stuff more.
I wouldn't really call it pretentious. It is pretty campy.
And ME1 and ME2 are both hollywoody. They're homages to 80s Sci-Fi movies.
ME1 has better story structure.
They both got things going for them.
man ME2 does look fucking sleek and the animations are better but, something about the rpg element in it felt dumbed down, maybe i just dont like it as much.
No better story can touch these things.
Agreeing with Dragkonais here.
Nihlus: "I work better on my own!" o_O
ME2 certainly has more B-movie elements (most of which I think work well). Some of the stuff like the above in ME1 ,which it takes very seriously, came across pretty silly imho.
There's what...4 plot line quests in ME2 and a badly written ending? (seriously, that giant organic robot is the dumbest god damn thing ever) ME1's story may not have been the best ever, but at least there was some effort put into it. ME2 was just lazy as hell.
Geth > Colectors
Soverign Twist > Protheian
Basically Me2 has better charcters
I dont get what's wrong with that line. He works better on his own. He's a spectre, that's their thing. Did it require a 2 minute soliloquy on what the philosophical meaning of solitude is?
Anyhow, the Collectors reveal in ME2 worked for me because it happened while knee deep in their ship and it meant there was about to be an ambush. Considering I'd barely survived Horizon, walking into a large trap was not good news.
On the other hand I didn't feel any sense of impending danger or urgency during the Sovereign reveal because by that point in the game I was a walking God, laying waste to all who opposed me.
Where I think ME1 was superior was from Ilos through the conclusion. But only in terms of storytelling. In terms of gameplay it was a complete non-event. We tore through everything like paper. Mecha Saren didn't even get off a single shot.
My problem with ME2 is that for being billed as the dark middle chapter, it wasn't dark. It didn't end on a low point, like Empire Strikes Back. It didn't hit a low point and then claw its way to a hopeful conclusion, like The Two Towers. ME2 started with a low point that the player didn't even get to experience, since the game essentially began with your resurrection. From that point onward it was a fairly upbeat story.
I showed the "everyone dies" ending to a friend of mine who had completed the game with the most upbeat of endings. He and I agreed that the "bad" ending, which can't be carried into ME3, was so much more dramatic and powerful. Seeing
leaves the viewer asking "how in the HELL will they get out of this, is everyone really dead, how will all of this be resolved?". Way more effective at being the dark middle chapter.
Silly bad ass posturing.
It wasn't just the line, it was having a guy just run off playing rambo. Imaging that in most games seems silly.
Further proof why Turians suck at being Batman.
edit: this is ignoring the gameplay aspect of many fps games.
Besides, I DO think ME2 handles the actual team better, what with the choices near the end and whatnot.
The actual gunplay in ME2 is way better than the first.
And god dammit it's 6:30 AM.
- The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (2017, colorized)
I thought it looked cool and I wouldn't really say that either game had lazy writing, just that the focus of ME2's writing and the focus of ME1's were in different places. Honestly, I will say that the thing that hurt ME2 more than anything was that they tried to do the game in a different manner while still adhering to the Bioware formula (ie travel here, plot point, travel there, plot point, travel here, endgame). It worked better for ME1 because the places you traveled were all apart of the plot focus.
keeping the collector base is too good to just blow up!
