    Regarding Stasis, it was definitely at its best when combined with the Bastion specialisation, that allows you to damage people when they are in stasis.

    O hai Saren...

    Yep yep. Like Lift, it'll disable anybody while you pound on them. Which is pretty great.

    My wife just beat ME2 for the second times.

    This time she maxed out both of her alignments because she is a crazy person.

    I didn't even know that could be done.

    on my last playthrough i did not use the interupt on mordins loyalty with Weyrloc Guld.

    that is possibly the longest trigger window in the game.

    its like bioware is telling you JUST DO IT ALREADY, SHIT!

    Kind of like negotiating with Lord Darius in the first game.

    "And also, Shepard, I want you personally to wipe my ass this evening."

    to even get that mission you have to be 75% renegade, and there is no other character more deserving of a bullet to the face

    That's different, the one in mordin's introduction changes from a renegade interrupt to a paragon interrupt

    Because it's hilarious to hear Admiral Hacket's response to your report that you're giving Darius everything he wants on a gold platter served by asari slaves feeding him peeled grapes.

    Never noticed it myself, but I think one of our local Bioware posters mentioned the longer you wait to take that interrupt, the more the resultant point balance shifts from renegade to paragon as you hear his plan.

    "We will keep salarians as slaves, and eat their eggs as a delicacy."

    The Renegade-to-Paragon point should have been when the Krogan brings up your mother.

    There should be a renegade hug interrupt, to hug someone at a really inappropriate time. Like Kaidan is having a biotic migraine and contact makes it worse.

    You know how one of the Galactic News Reports in ME2 mentions that Sirta Foundation will likely be shutting down? I don't understand how the creator of medi-gel could ever go out of business. The ME wiki speculates it might be related to the ME1 Paragon side-quest that took place in the Sirta Foundation facility but I still don't see why anyone would let such a organization shut down.

    On a side-note, just completed Project Overlord after finally getting my laptop back. That was some creepy stuff. Too bad Bioware decided not to voice your squad mates, as I think the DLC would have provided some good conversations between Tali, Legion and Miranda.

    It's because they stopped selling medigel to hospitals and medical bays. The only place you can get it is randomly lying around in the middle of firefights :P

    why would it be illegal

    but its far to useful to enforce the law against it.

    i'm pretty sure sirta is a human company as well, no doubt with alien employees but still human in origin and probably ownership

    well, the real reason the sirta foundation is shutting down is because the import flag for the biotic extremists quest is bugged to the negative outcome, like the Consort
