I would want to personally hang out with Wrex. Drink some alien alcohol, hit on blue chicks, then go shoot people for credits. Afterwards, we go catch the space olympics. I hear space swords is cool.
maybe I would have enjoyed this game more if I had played something other than soldier
I figured "if this is as amazing as everyone's been saying it is, I'll probably want to do more than one run-through. might as well start out with something simple!"

What are people's ammo or armor upgrade preferences?
Healing and kinetic exoskeleton (shields, accuracy, shield cooldown reduction).
For guns, depends on what you're fighting. Usually mix fire, ice, and the radioactive. If I'm fighting a ton of geth, it's the tungsten ones that kill synthetics.

I don't think I'll ever get why some people seem to keep assuming that a direct character import is somehow impossible. And not even the whole "how do they handle the different decisions you made" angle, just the "they're going to reset your level to 1 for GAMEPLAY REASONS" angle.
I mean, we have a game where the only way to actually max out a character is to run it through new game+. Why is the concept of importing a character to ME2 being the equivalent to New Game+ so hard to grasp for some people?

Also if that trailer is accurate the importing character thing is going to be pretty moot.

rule of thumb: unless you actually see the corpse, they aren't dead.

Of course.
They're going to spoil a massive plot point in a game we barely know anything about, a good year or so before its release.
How could I not see this? Its so obvious! Bioware is working with the same people who do the after-episode previews for next week's BSG!

see I went soldier the first (and really the only) time because I don't want to mess about with powers, I want to shoot people and hurt them. I am not a 'powers' kind of guy.
y'know I played Mass Effect one and a half times and I really liked it and it was entirely worth it but for some reason I never really feel like going back and playing it again
my first character was pretty dumb, I was an Adept but I never used any biotics because killing everything with my pistol was so fun and easy

I stupidly used a fucking Engineer the first time through and it was boring as sin.
So the second time I used a Vanguard with the sniper rifle bonus, which is incredibly awesome, and now on my third run I'm using a Soldier with the Biotic bonus so I can do lifts and throws.
Biotics are awesome. Even better, though, is using the sniper rifle with explosive rounds and splattering geth five miles away.

putting explosive rounds in the sniper rifle feels like you are shooting a bazooka
It's probably just gonna be all, "oh my shepard crashed on a planet we are his commanders he must be dead" and then Shepard shows up and they're all :O and he's all "i fuckin' killed so many geth"

yes i believe this will be the case
you'll go through like half the game believing shepard is dead and then you're surronded by geth and he saves your ass

Hopefully he'll have Wrex and Garrus with him cracking some fuckin skulls
and there would be a sweet guitar solo.

Yes, honestly I was going to put it as "she" because fem-shepard is vastly superior to dude-shep.

You're better off smearing poop on your armor.
way too long ago to remember
confirmed, i seem to remember
Incendiary, followed by explosive once I can upgrade.

the trailer seems to suggest that as well
however if you start what is essentially a new game+ then what shepard did in mass effect 1 becomes important
for example
that sort of thing
as much as i loved my shepard i would be cool with starting a new guy who has a new story and can maybe be gay
putting explosive rounds in the sniper rifle feels like you are shooting a bazooka
imagine a mass effect MMO
it would be the best.
