Him and Al-Jhilani.
So you could punch her again?

There's a volus. Maybe you haven't seen all three sets of vids yet?

She does get kicked by a volus. There's three different videos for her.
Ashley and Thane are probably the party members who I think have the most depth.
OK NOW YOU'VE GONE TOO FAR
Just because someone doesn't like a character doesn't mean that character has no depth. But really, am I wrong about those two? I was sitting here thinking about all the details of each character - their past, their goals, their beliefs, etc - and for a good number of them the list is kind of small. For Ashley and Thane, though, there's quite a bit more.
Oh, I forgot about Mordin. He's probably in the top of the list, too, in regards to how much you can learn about him. And again, you don't have to like them just because they offer a lot to explore. This list isn't a list of favorites. I'm just thinking about the characters you can learn the most about. I never thought Liara was at the top of that list, although probably still a lot higher than Jacob. :P

Yeah but with the damage research and most of kestrel, Shepard's elbow is basically an infinite ammo shotgun.
Kestrel (minus that horrid helmet - go with the stealth Dr. pepper helmet - +5% weapon damage) is mandatory for the vanguard and highly recommended for the soldier.

Meh. I'm vain, so I rarely if ever sacrifice aesthetics for functionality in video games. Unless something is okay looking. Kestrel chest plate just looks dumb. The other parts are okay though.

So apparently the Geth Shotgun is actually a homing missile launcher?
What's the point of driving your foes before you, and hearing the lamentations of their women, if you don't look good while doing it? I will never understand some people!

I only mess around with armor on hardcore or insanity, statwise, but I almost always use just the headshot visor so I can see facial expressions. I've been coming off that lately, because soldier with the normal helmet looks right, as does infiltrator with the hood. And recently I've just been trying things I've never used before.
Playing a pink and blue kestrel + death mask + tech armor makes Shepard look like some kind of bizarre storm trooper.

I really should do a game where I use the Kestrel helmet. I actually think it looks cool, but I hate that it doesn't vanish during cutscenes.
i can't even imagine what soldier on normal or casual must feel like. press this button to win, i suppose. if i hadn't switched to revenant after the collector ship, i'd have kept my deaths in the single digits. but i had to try it out and see what the fuss was about. should have stuck with the mattock :P
i think the reason i like insanity is the feeling that your enemies are trying very hard to be sentient, and their guns/powers have a very very good chance of ending you. soldier basically steamrolls everything, sentinel to a lesser extent. vanguard is all about respecting the capabilities of your opposition. you make a mistake, you WILL die. feels more tactical, and the risk/reward is a lot more satisfying, imo.

GoW also equal Gears of War...so it does get confusing.
This is like people talking about D2. Is it Descent 2? Diablo 2? Argh.
There is also a survival horror/adventure/first person/tentacle rape game for the Dreamcast called D2. I owned a Dreamcast before I owned a PC powerful enough to play any of the Diablo games, so people kept referencing all kinds of loot and I kept getting more and more confused. In D2, there's a whole subterranean mine section at the end of the first disc - I thought I was totally going to find some kind of sword or gun down there if I kept grinding enemies.
No.
The only loot I got was a good face-raping by space-plants or some shit.

Like people have suggested eariler, I wish they have some modular helmets in ME3. What I mean by that is that they go through a minor transformation during a cutscene, much like the weapons do when you holster them. That way you can have your fancy helmet on most of the time, but still get to see the face when you talk to people

I was playing it console and had no problem mass-murdering people with the Revenant, no matter the distance to the target. The thing is a beast, and one that never runs out of ammo.

The Lost in Space movie wasn't very good but it had the retracting helmet like you were talking about (also had guns that folded up like ME as well).
At the end of ME3, Shepard takes his/her final ascension as Space Jesus and gains all the powers.
I'm hoping for the end of ME3 you can go all Kotor and go for either renegade emperor of the galaxy or goody two shoes president. And maybe an additional third in-between.
Big Horrible Theory® Time!
In Mass Effect 3 Shepard will uncover information about some of the mystery planets in game (Ploba, Logan, Klencory, Junthor, and Preying Mouth specifically) and discover that they are the hiding places of vast terrible weaponry sequestered by previous galactic civilizations. These weapons were assembled to fight the Reapers but too much time was wasted and they were unable to be used. So in desperation they were hidden deep in the gravity wells of gas giants with the hope that a future civilization would be able to recover them and use their terrible power to destroy the Reapers and break the cycle forever. Junthor would hold ancient secrets about the Reapers creation and their original purpose and hints as to a final creation hidden on lonely Klencory.
On Klencory Shepard would find and awaken the 'Beings of Light' and find the fate of the Reapers creators, in a desperate gamble to escape their own creations the progenitor race abandoned their final weapon and ascended into a non-corporeal being, sacrificing their individual identities to exsist as a gestalt intelligence. Over the eons this entity lost it's sense of scale and perceived the cycle of extinction as little more than flash of activity, but part of it's vast mind still remembered the Reapers and the fate they imposed on their own race so it tries to help how it can, by bombarding the minds of those who near it's space with warnings and visions of both the Reapers and their own final weapon. Most are driven insane by the overwhelming power of these broadcasts but a few retain enough sanity to attempt to recover the lost weapon (or some take it the wrong way and seclude their own final weapons like the progenitors did.) With some of the weapons recovered Shepard would gather all the available forces he can and attack the Reapers, I'd have to assume with how they're writing Liara, Wrex, and possibly Legion those three would use their influence and power to try and wrangle the galactic community together (even if it involved Liara starting a massive war between the council races and aiming them towards where Shepard is going to confront the Reapers).
Then at the end of everything Shepard would have one gigantic decision. Destroy the weapons forever to keep their terrible power out of reach, or use the weapons to brutally enforce galactic peace and place humanity at a pinnacle of power (I'd assume an appropriate display of power like destroying the Batarian homeworld would be needed to ram the point home).
Needless to say I have a job that gifts me with lots of free time to think and nothing else to do.
Man I like the Mantis and the Widow. I know conventional Wisdom is all up in the Viper's butt, but I love the feeling of one devastating shot, the crack of thunder, followed by the reload.
I realize I have begun to pick my guns according to feeling rather than effectiveness
Maybe this is ME2 nirvana

So that's cool.
5% in stats here and there changes nothing for me gameplay wise, so why bother
Can't be that way. Especially when my characters look like idiots.
I mean it is okay in most game since the best armor is also usually the best looking.
But sometimes you get situations like Dragon Age and their mage hats.
Not to mention. I rarely find games difficult enough to have to min/max.
@Dashui: See, you get it.
Playing a pink and blue kestrel + death mask + tech armor makes Shepard look like some kind of bizarre storm trooper.
Yeah, in WoW I looked like this for most of my play time:
and i choose armor based on appearance rather than 3-10% bonuses (except when it comes to the heavy weapon extra ammo leg thingies)

It's been confirmed through testing that the Archon Visor doesn't actually work
I like the way it looks
I alternate it and the headshot visor thingie
good to know, though
This is too easy as is
I'm taking off the damn Kestrel armor, all of it
That isn't going to do much. Believe me.
You could do something really stupid like use the geth pulse rifle instead of the revenant!
Use only the Avenger, Mantis, Katana, and Carnifex the whole game.
