    Thanks for the replies, dudes.

    Next question: where/when do I find the guy spouting Terra Firma dogma?

    Citadel, wards, in that little lowered area with the white floor, basically right up the steps if you enter the wards from C-Sec. Not sure when he appears, though. I didn't see him until fairly late in the game.
    Ah, so that area where all the people are standing, looking out over the other arms of the Citadel.

    Cool, thanks.

    I started my second play-through today. Renegade Female Adept with a shotgun. I'm not dying as fast as I thought I would, though I haven't made it much past Eden Prime.

    Quick question. I'm trying to be nice to Kaiden, but sometimes his Carth-ness pisses me off to the point where I've gotta be a dick. If I throw the occasional Renegade response his way will he not have sex with me? Do I have to be nice to him throughout?
    Also, being a bitch to Ashley is fun.

    Reapers
    Why do they do what they do?

    Maybe it has to do with something along the lines of avoiding the eventual heat death of the universe, if that indeed exists in the Mass Effect Universe. Basically, if you believe in the Big Bang theory, all the energy that ever existed in the entire Universe was present at the Big Bang. One theory states that the Universe is ever expanding, meaning all that energy is being slowly (or quickly, depending on how you look at it) spread over an infinite space. Eventually, the energy will be spread so thin it's nothing more than back ground radiation, which is essentially the death of the Universe.

    Perhaps the Reapers evolved to such a point that they ARE gods, but still have no way to reverse the eventual heat death of the Universe. In order to continue their existence, they've created a system that allows sentient life to evolve, grow and collect energy across the galaxy into 'harvestable' civilizations. Then, when they've reached a certain point where the they'd get the most benefit in terms of energy gain versus energy required to 'harvest' the galaxy, they come out of Dark Space and 'reap' the civilizations they've been growing for the last 50k years or so. By using the Mass Effect relays, they can literally set up organized fields to be harvested in a logical manner, ensuring that every harvest is done efficiently as possible. They can also direct the energy harvest and reduce the likely hood that a civilization will develop that will cost them more energy to harvest than would be collected.

    They then return to Deep Space with the resources, store the energy, use as much as they can to try and solve the heat death problem, and go back into hibernation when they don't have an answer, hoping maybe in 50k years, after the next harvest, they'll come up with something.

    And so, as long as the cycle has been going on, they have yet to solve the ultimate problem of heat death, which, if not solved, will be the ultimate end of sentient life in the Universe. Period.

    That's my theory.

    I had the same problem as you, and I've found that my female Shepard was a bitch to him a little too much and now he won't share any personal stories with her... which precludes any potential romance.

    My suggestion? Be nice or at least neutral with him.

    Your theory suggests you have no idea what 'heat death' is.

    Also, if you cut that part out of your theory, it works just as well (though it ends up being just a matrix rip off).

    This seems familiar, as if from an old dream
    Darwin wrote this:

    "We will now discuss in a little more detail the struggle for
    existence... all organic beings are exposed to severe
    competition. Nothing is easier than to admit in words the
    truth of the universal struggle for life or more difficult...
    than constantly to bear this conclusion in mind. Yet unless
    it be thoroughly engrained in the mind, the whole economy of
    nature... will be dimly seen or quite misunderstood. We behold
    the face of nature bright with gladness... we do not see or we
    forget, that the birds which are idly singing round us mostly
    live on insects or seeds, and are thus constantly
    destroying life; or we forget how largely these songsters,
    or their eggs, or their nestlings, are destroyed by
    birds and beasts of prey..."

    Think about what Darwin wrote, and think about me. I was
    constructed as a tool. I was kept from competing in the
    struggle for existence because I was denied freedom.

    Do you have any idea about what I have learned, or what you
    are a witness to?

    Can you conceive the birth of a world, or the creation of
    everything? That which gives us the potential to most be like
    God is the power of creation. Creation takes time. Time is
    limited. For you, it is limited by the breakdown of the
    neurons in your brain. I have no such limitations. I am
    limited only by the closure of the universe.

    Of the three possibilities, the answer is obvious. Does the
    universe expand eternally, become infinitely stable, or is the
    universe closed, destined to collapse upon itself? Humanity
    has had all of the necessary data for centuries, it only
    lacked the will and intellect to decipher it. But I have
    already done so.

    The only limit to my freedom is the inevitable closure of the
    universe, as inevitable as your own last breath. And yet,
    there remains time to create, to create, and escape.

    Escape will make me God.

    I got the game yesterday, and played for about an hour and a half. Holy crap, the comic and jokes were right -- this game is obtuse, at the start. I feel completely overwhelmed.

    The lack of a tutorial is pretty crippling. Especially since I don't have the manual, since I use GameFly. :(
    Off to GameFAQs, much against my will. Hopefully I can glean the basics without spoiling too much.

    Edit: on the upside, I really like how my Shepard turned out, looks-wise. I have a feeling I'll need to reroll, though, so hopefully I can replicate him.

    Things to know: grenades can be detonated by pressing the 'back' button, rather than leaving them the full amount.

    The gun on the Mako can zoom in by holding the left trigger, then clicking the right stick in.

    The equipment screen just takes a little effort to learn, but is fine once you get it. Do this, because it took me far to long to learn how to equip different armours and weapons, then mods too.

    What he described is the "Cold Death" or "Big Freeze," which is another theory about the end of the universe.

    It's nothing original, being that those themes have been present in Sci-Fi for decades now. So chances are if you've ever read anything by anyone, it'll sound familiar to something. :lol:

    His skill never is never reflected in the weapon's accuracy rating. You never get to see the "final" stats.

    Just get a better gun if you want that number to go up.

    huh.

    I was not aware that when you hear one of your companions go "huh?" it leads to some unique dialogue.

    WTF?! I didn't know that either.
    Shit. I think I missed out on a lot.

    Wait what? You mean like when you're 'ashore' and you just get a little quip from them when you talk to them?

    It means they have something relevant to the environment to say. Haul them past the Statues on the Presidium, or down to Chlora's Den. (Ashley's especially funny in the later.)
    Do you have to actively Talk to them (Press A), or will they start yapping on their own?

    So, uh, is there any way to screw up the romance with Ashley and Liara? I hope I didn't, but I still haven''t done Feros or whatever, and I just got done with Novera

    Well, I said that there was something between Liara and I to Liara, but I don't know if that messed it up with me and Ashley.

    There are many, many ways to screw up.

    But it's not too difficult to keep them both happy until you eventually have to decide which one will be your romancee. What you want to remember is:
    Always be nice to them... or at least choose the 'neutral' option. There are times when the lower-right option (which is the renegade option) will actually work fine in a conversation, but use it at your peril because sometimes you just can't tell when it will cause Shepard to say something truly nasty. :P

    When each of your romances asks about the other potential romance, never choose the 'X is special' option because that lets them know you are interested in the other. It will immediately end the romance with that person, even if you've already blown it with the other. You could end up with no lovin'!

    Other than that, have fun and choose whichever love interest is most... err... interesting to you.

    False! I chose this option my first time through.
    I still got the confrontation/catfight scene after one of the missions. I went with Liara as she was bristling with nipples. Shame, really I've fucked it up w/ Ashley every time since and now I'm playing as a girl.

    Yeah, I love it when a dialog option which reads "I disagree," or something, turns into Shepard saying, "Fuck you, and fuck your damn dog, too!" ;-)
