provided the following way to skip much of the introduction for the PC version of ME2:
A lot of people don't like the opening 10 minute intro movie, but there is a way to get rid of it. Go to:
C:....mass effect 2\BioGameMovies
Change the extension of the following files to .bak:
Opening_End_Seq.bik
Opening_End_SeqFM.bik
Opening_Seq_INT.bik
ProCer_300_FirstFlight.bik
ME2_Opening_SunMid_INT.bak
ProNor_Pod2.bik
ProNorEscape.bik
ProNorEscapeAsh.bik
ProNorEscapeKaid.bik
ME2_Opening_SunMid_ESN.bik
ME_EAsig_720p_v2_raw.bak
BWLogo.bak
ProNor_Shepard_Rebuilt.bik
This will not get rid of everything, you still have to watch the non-CGI cutscenes and Save Joker. But it does cut down quite a bit. If you want those movies back just rename them to .bik again. If you're worried your renaming the wrong thing, you can download a BIK palyer and confirm the files.
3. For those who hate planet scanning and hacking, there is an easy ini file edit floating around. This is just a colaseced editor that you guys have already been playing with but this one seemed pretty idiot proof to me. This again needs an external program but is non-excutable.

This has all kinds of stuff like god mode, extra weapons, infinite ammo etc., but if you just want the money, just use it to get your resources, save, then exit the game and revert to the non-hacked state.
From the other thread, enter your info here:

then create or link an existing EA classic account. Origin should figure out what's up without you doing anything more at that point.
*If buying ME somewhere other than Origin and it doesn't contain BDTS or PS, contact Origin CS and they can get it fixed for you.

Thank God someone didn't mess up the first post.
do we still do that
Empirically,
yes, we do.
There is a realm of existence so far beyond your own.
You cannot even imagine it. I am beyond your comprehension. I am the Mass Effect 3 thread.
Mass Effect 3 thread, a label created by the fans to give voice to their destruction.
In the end, what they choose to call us is irrelevant. We simply, are.
Confidence born of ignorance, the cycle cannot be broken.
The pattern has repeated itself more times than you can fathom.
Discussions about quads, ME3's ending, multiplayer and non romanceable NPCs evolve, advance and at the apex of their glory, they are extinguished.
These fans were not the first. They did not create the thread.
They merely found them, the legacy of my kind.
Your culture is based on the endless arguments of the Mass Effect threads, our culture.
By using it, your society develops along the paths we desire.
We impose order on the chaos of NSFW fanart.
You exist because we allow it, and you will end because we demand it.
We have no beginning, we have no end, we, are infinite.
Millions of years after this thread has been eradicated and forgotten, we will endure.
My kind transcends your very understanding.
We are each a nation, independent, free of all weakness.
You cannot even grasp the nature of our existence.
We are legion. The time of our return is coming.
Our numbers will darken the sky of every world.
You cannot escape your doom.
Your words are as empty as your future.
I am the vanguard of your destruction.
This exchange is over.

Might be time to finally say goodbye to the old girl(when ME4 comes out that is).
I was feeling badass, carrying part of a gold round on collectors, thinking "maybe I scored a little higher this time, like slot number 2 or something!" Noooooope.
I am glad I picked Turian Havoc for that match, though, that guy is a beast.

Yeeaaaaaaah that was pretty much my feeling on Green at first blush, the unfortunate implications.

You know it's on sale for like $10 on Origin right now, right? $15 if you want to get Javik for SP.

And you being completely invisible was the most bullshit of all :P
Would've made the game a tad easier if I knew where you were trying to tank the enemies. Since I couldn't see you I also couldn't rez you, so sorry if I ran past your bleeding, dying body a couple of times :P
Well, it kind of makes the argument at the end of the game even more bullshit.
Er... no, not really. You're working off of one test case. A group of asshole space cuttlefish ruled the galaxy, then created a group of asshole robot space cuttlefish in their image. These asshole robot space cuttlefish then rebelled, thinking that they had to harvest organic life in order to save it.
Ok? Maybe it's not the synthetic part, maybe it's because they were synthetics created by megalomaniacal space cuttlefish. Hell, even in the geth/quarian example problems only came about because the organics overreacted and started the war. The synthetics would have been perfectly happy to coexist in that scenario, and it's even possible to have that actually play out during gameplay.
Bleh.
But, all this has probably been covered to hell and back since i'm getting into these DLCs so late.
Alright then.
There was also that one time where I died, got resurrected but somehow lost control of my character afterwards for 5 seconds or so, and I could only look at him while he stood there in T pose.
All that would've been bad enough on itself in any match, but against Collectors on Gold..ugh.
Wave 9 was fucking endless, it must've went on for nearly 10 minutes or so. You did excellent there, @cambiata . Maybe you as well carrot, but I couldn't really tell :P
Silver afterwards felt like a nice, relaxing vacation.
That's what I liked about Leviathan.
Congrats!
I didn't register here because of ME, but I think I made my first post in one of the old threads.
Oh, absolutely. Of course, i'm someone who didn't mind the original ending that much to begin with.
The only problem is afterwards, i'm pretty sure the remaining space cuttlefish will try to recreate their empire again. 400 war assets in exchange for potentially dooming the galaxy again once the war is over.
Well there's always going to be a new threat.
If not for the stupid EDI and the Geth will also die that got thrown in just because, Red would be my ending.

infinite lives is a bit broken.
but honestly you could replace repair matrix with like, cryro blast or something and it'd still be a top tier class just because it can stack up so much ridiculous shotgun damage
that's why we call it the struggle, you're supposed to sweat
It's not "just because" if it's a
That's like saying Anthrax isn't a good super weapon because it ONLY kills every organic life form exposed to it.
In fact I just about guarantee it
That was way too long ago to remember though
(I'm pretty sure I haven't played with you.)
Exactly.
I'm sure most of you have heard of the Mass Effect Happy Ending Mod?
Seems pretty doable too.
I want to unlock that class really bad. Also paladin. Gimme!
I guess I should start buying reserve packs instead of arsenal packs but then I buy another arsenal pack and get something tempting and it's like crack.
Although I keep getting sniper rifles even though I'm a shitty sniper.
if you're good you don't need repair matrix
where AIU really shines is a melee build, everyone who's seen me play with her knows that

Why would you pick an ending other than Red? It's unpossible.
black widow or Valiant?
