Just noting some interesting bits in the planet descriptions. Like this one:
Gaelon is surrounded by an extensive ring system. The inner rings are composed of pulverized nano-manufactured carbon materials thought to be the remains of an arthenni helium-3 mining infrastructure. The few pieces of larger debris found indicate a materials technology at least equal to the current galactic state of the art.
The outer rings consist of ice, silicate dust, and the odd bit of rock. Analysis of the debris often shows shock damage and evidence of rapid heating. Some para-historical theorists insist that the outer rings represent debris from a moon or moons destroyed by mass accelerator bombardment. This has been rejected by every reputable xenoarchaeologist; while it is theoretically possible to destroy a small moon utterly with dreadnought bombardment, no species sees a compelling reason to do so.
Smells like Reapers to me!

In tragic news, Commander Shepard, hero of the citadel and the first human Spectre, was violently gunned down today aboard his own ship. No witnesses have been found, but authorities say the combination of shotgun and assault rifle rounds responsible for his perforated body suggest more than one assailant. Next, an interview with Shepard's self-identified best friend, Conrad Verner. Stay tuned.
I can't seem to find this anywhere, though I'm sure it has come up plenty of times before: do we know if the squadmates that we've seen are all the permanent squadmates in the game?

Turns out Mass Effect was just the setup for a sci-fi reboot of the movie "Wild Things".
I'm doing a paragon colonist sole survivor run. Always doing the right thing but every one around me dies. Kaiden and Wrex dead so far, everyone but Miranda and Jacob is going to die in 2.
The contemporary equivalent of this is "Lots of countries find it highly convenient to firebomb a city out of existence, or starve the entire population to death. But turning it into a giant hole in the ground? Time consuming and not very practical."

Zaeed because nothing can kill him, Morinth because why not just make it a worstshep run?
I really don't know which save to import first into ME3. On the one hand, there's my first run, which wasn't completionist, and I'll probably miss lots of nifty bits. On the other hand, there's my most recent fully completionist run, but it feels kind of wrong to do them out of order. Hmm.

banging Tali right before the suicide mission is just irresponsible to everybody on your team
Meh. It's not like she's gonna insta-die.
Oh, I'm not worried about her. She's got the drugs and shit to keep her functional. But she's not optimal, and that's going to affect the whole team. I still maintain that a romanced Tali should have been considered effectively non-loyal for the purposes of the Suicide Mission. Failing at the door, etc.

On this note, I think Mass Effect should copy the Elder Scroll series in terms of having in-game books.
I'd read the unholy hell out of Krogan philosophy.
No joke. Although, I did just scan one of my favorites. In the system with Tuchanka, there's a planet where the equator is that shiney metallic color. All the resources are right there, on the equator, waiting for the planet to go from "rich" to "depleted" at my leisure.
Then I wonder why aliens don't like humans after I've strip-mined whole systems.
Is that the one where Krogans go prove their manliness by stepping onto a fiery, poisonous world buck naked?
Some of those planetary descriptions are just absolutely brilliant.
My favorite part of that planet's description. Is that their was only one Krogan who ever survived setting foot on that planet, and even though he survived, he was semi-crippled... however, for the rest of his life he could sleep with any fertile female he wished.
I mean, I'd like to think they are. But at the same time, I can imagine Ashely following every instance of positive feedback concerning Tali with "for an alien".
I was glad to see that Garrus and Wrex totally get along based on the ME3 demo. I've mentioned it in the past, but I would love it if they allowed you to strengthen the relationship of Shepard's squadmates with each other.
About the only instance of this that occurs in ME2 is keeping two opposing characters from killing each other.
I'm all about camaraderie in games, moreso than optional romances. That's why my favorite moment in ME2 is
"Sheparrrrrd!"
Along with "Garrus!" (while Shep's got his arms out all "bring it on home!")

Still loving the Krogan Soldier in multiplayer. Almost solo'ed a VIP Assassination Wave on Silver when one of our team dropped and the other two (both low level squishy humans) went down before the first target got taken out. Sadly I couldn't kill the final Engineer, as his turret was set up in a place I couldn't get it down fast enough to also take out the engy before five other guys swarmed and took me out.
Still wish there was a better way to take out those damn shield guys though. You'd think a giant Krogan who can kill unarmored guys in one hit could pull that little shield out of their weak little hands and beat them with it :P

They're just waiting to be compelled enough.
Turns out Mass Effect was just the setup for a sci-fi reboot of the movie "Wild Things".

It would be better if everybody but Zaeed and Morinth dies in 2.
Zaeed because nothing can kill him, Morinth because why not just make it a worstshep run?
Flip a coin. Like Harvey Dent.
Why I fear the ocean.
This is why the rest of the Universe is so alien to humans. You give mankind a way to make a big explosion, they don't need a compelling reason to do it. I mean, the only reason we haven't set off an atmoic bomb on the moon is because it's so far away! (unless we already have...) I mean, we've set off nuclear bombs in the ionosphere, blown up islands, set them off over water, under water, on mountains, under mountains... all just to watch stuff explode.
If humanity had a dreadnought sized mass accelerator, we'd be blowing the shit out of everything smaller than a star just to watch it go BOOM! KERPOW! ZONK!

There's at least one that hasn't appeared in trailers yet. The squad list is;
Vega
Liara
Tali
Garrus
And no one ever suspected.
Krogans would too.
There's a whole planet in Tuchanka's system that's now just a cluster of asteroids.
Why I fear the ocean.
Oh well, at least it was one of those ones where you're like "Whelp, I wonder how the fuck that will happen."
So, is that definitely all of them? Or could there potentially be more (and I mean non-DLC).
Yeah, I feel like Krogans are the exception to the "no one sees a compelling reason to do so".
Because quads.
My Failshep run has everyone dead in ME1 and 2 except Tali and Legion.
Only two left and they hate each other!

Good point.
Krogan scientists are the best scientists. Bioware, please remake ME2 but give us an Okeer/Grunt decision like the Samara/Morinth one.
You could even have a fight erupt on the Normandy between Okeer and Mordin over lab space!
Origin: Viycktor
Definitely all of them.
You know, Krogans could have blown up that moon.
I mean, they got to the nuclear age more than once in the past. Lot of good options for space flight with nukes. And it only took two back in the day to fill a city.
And "Why don't we blow it up" is a classic Krogan philosophical question.
Why I fear the ocean.
Mott felt a rising sense of excitement. "The knowlege you referred to. How did you come by it?"
There was a long pause- as if Shella was considering her options. Then she spoke. "I used to be a freelancer. And at one point I worked for a very secretive group. An organzation called Cerberus."
The answer was so unexpected that Mott knew there was a look of surprise on her face.
"Cerberus? The human advocacy group?
Shella produced a snort of derision. "That's how they describe it. But Cerberus does a lot more than promote human rights. They carry out all sorts of operations against people and organizations they percieve to be a threat."
Glancing blow on planet!

We're talking krogans here. The question isn't "should we blow it up?", it's "how should we blow it up?"
Where's that comic about TIM saying he serves humans, like for dinner?
Oh, I'm not worried about her. She's got the drugs and shit to keep her functional. But she's not optimal, and that's going to affect the whole team. I still maintain that a romanced Tali should have been considered effectively non-loyal for the purposes of the Suicide Mission. Failing at the door, etc.
Or, as the wisest of their philosophers, Sacrunkeries, once wrote:
"The unexploded life is not one worth living."
I'm impressed by the depth of self-awareness possessed by someone named after applesauce.
"...such as humans."
I google'd Sacrunkeries to see if that was an actual thing
Now I think it should be. Krogans' version of Freud is not that you want to have sex with your mother. It is that you already have and your brother is trying to figure out how to take you out because you did it before him
No, "Why don't we blow it up" is the classic unanswered Krogan philosophical question.
The legendary theologian Krushterton came closest, I think with "Maybe because we'd all die and couldn't blow anything else up? I guess?"
But his Twelve Types of Explosions refuted this with his classic "So, we blow it up after the other stuff", cementing him as one of the foremost defenders of the orthodox positions.

I was actually thinking he could be the equivalent of, say, Socrates, thus the name.
But while we're at it, throw a little Schrodinger in there, only in both possibilities, the Varren is dead. The question is just whether it's when the box is closed or when the box is opened back up and you headbutt it.
Anyway, what are some tips?

On this note, I think Mass Effect should copy the Elder Scroll series in terms of having in-game books.
I'd read the unholy hell out of Krogan philosophy.
My favorite part of that planet's description. Is that their was only one Krogan who ever survived setting foot on that planet, and even though he survived, he was semi-crippled... however, for the rest of his life he could sleep with any fertile female he wished.
We do?
I mean, I'd like to think they are. But at the same time, I can imagine Ashely following every instance of positive feedback concerning Tali with "for an alien".
I was glad to see that Garrus and Wrex totally get along based on the ME3 demo. I've mentioned it in the past, but I would love it if they allowed you to strengthen the relationship of Shepard's squadmates with each other.
About the only instance of this that occurs in ME2 is keeping two opposing characters from killing each other.
I'm all about camaraderie in games, moreso than optional romances. That's why my favorite moment in ME2 is
Along with "Garrus!" (while Shep's got his arms out all "bring it on home!")

Do you have any idea how much it costs to make your entire organization incompetent?
This made me smile so hard the first time I saw it that it made my girlfriend at the time legitimately jealous of a video game character.
Still wish there was a better way to take out those damn shield guys though. You'd think a giant Krogan who can kill unarmored guys in one hit could pull that little shield out of their weak little hands and beat them with it :P
