    If the original website is blocked then the video will most certainly be blocked as well.

    Yeah but this was on a normal assault rifle. Not that I'm complaining, just clarifying.

    I wouldn't mind reloading. I can imagine it being good for pacing/balancing in combat.

    because it is probably not a sound weapon design to make all of your weapons based on heat in close quarters combat situations?

    There has to be planets out there that aren't part of the Citadel and haven't discovered the Mass effect relays and whatnot. Just ones getting on with their shit in like the 18th century or something.

    You know what I love. Mass Effect 2. The Title, the logo. No subtitle, so class.

    Also, I'd mark out for Garrus to actually have a big, dramatic, main plot related scene, he's the only one in th first game that doesn't get some spotlight, in any of the path ways.

    Garrus ruled.

    Here's hoping the decision to save the council has at least SOME negative repercussions in ME2.

    Also, it is incredibly awesome to me that they probably wrote the whole game, and had to compensate the entire thing for some of the optional character deaths.
    My first playthrough will have everyone but Kaiden

    My second will have no Wrex, no Ashley, no Garrus, no Cpt. Kirrahe, no council, no Feros colonists, etc. Everybody who could be killed or left behind was. It will be... an interesting contrast.

    Dr. Saleon didn't count for you?

    I said main plot. Dr. Saleon was a decent bit of character development, but since it was a sidequest it doesn't get the good production values and staging, it's just here's this douche and a conversation tree and a couple of alternating two-shots and one shots.

    Other than that? He's the least featured crewmember, and even Tali, who could also use more screen time, gets a couple scenes and is integral to the plot.

    I mean.
    Ashley: Gets Boned and/or kills Wrex.
    Wrex: Gets killed or at has tense conversation
    Kaidan: Boneable.
    Liara: Boneable.
    Tali: Wards Shootout and subsequent geth data stuff.

    Now, if your decision with Dr. Saleon affects Garrus' personality and impact on the plot in ME2, I'd literally have a romance explosion. Same with any of the sidequests, Tali's again be another good one.
