    I think the most satisfying faceshot in the game is Chorban. Damn Salarian! I don't want to scan your bloody keepers! Do it yourself!

    I wanted to kill Jahleed as well, but getting him arrested was pretty satisfying in its own way.

    Chorban and Jahleed was one of my favorite sidequests in the game. Scanning the Keepers was not. It was disappointing to do all that searching only to get money and xp in the end. I was hoping for some kind of a storyline payoff.

    Edit: I should include that every time I play the game, I get them both to kiss and make up. So to speak. I accidentally got to the point of a gunfight once and said "fuck that, I like these two idiots!"

    I'm assuming that the Chorban-Jahleed Keeper quest will have a pay-off in ME2.

    I mean, if it's two years after the Sovereign incident, they'll probably have a ton of info on the Keepers' purpose by that time.

    That said, if you held off on completing the quest until higher levels, the payoff in money was pretty ridiculous if I remember it right. It was one of the ways that I got a ton of creds the first play through.

    The Keeper scanning had a payoff in ME1. Vigil tells you everything that's important about them...

    I was hoping for the same thing. I really wanted to know more about the keepers as it seems so weird that they're there. Though you do learn all the important stuff about them from that Promethean AI.

    Good, in another forum people were convinced "OMG ITZ LIARAZ DUDDDEZ."

    I wanted to make sure I wasn't just crazy.

    I also just had an interesting scene I hadn't seen before on the Citadel with Ashley and Kaiden (before I got anyone else) where we looked out the viewport window. That was a nice little scene, and gave the characters a bit of depth. Now if only I could have heard the whole thing, stupid low volume.

    Whomever survived the first game almost automatically qualifies as 'bad ass'.

    Also, there's a two year gap. I'm pretty sure they had their own shit to take care of in the meanwhile.

    Yup. Conjecture time! If ME2 is two years later, then most likely:

    - Ashley/Kaiden will either have been re-assigned, or will die off early.
    - Liara will leave to go dig up more old stuff.
    - Tali will have returned to the Fleet.
    - Garrus will either have your back, or be the new C-Sec Chief.
    - Wrex will have your back. He'll also have an afro. And possibly a monocle.

    But I hooked up with Liara. We were gonna settle down and make mind babies. :?

    Quick question, Colossus X is considered the best armor, correct? I'm doing a continue +, and am trying to get everybody the best stuff they can possibly have. I'm a bit short on cash now though after buying a complete set of the spectre gear for Shephard though.

    Edit: I was thinking something like Houn too. That most of your group would be doing some other things, but a couple will still return.

    Nah. She'll realize her attraction to you was simply because of your connection to the Protheans, and you'll realize you just had blue fever. She'll make a guest appearance early/mid game, and it'll be a really awkward and touching scene with some phenomenal writing, as she tells you she's preggers, and wants your opinion on gene therapy for your baby.

    Well this is my problem, Ashley or Kaiden can survive and so they aren't going to give either huge roles considering they may not exist. I hope to be proven wrong because I want to carry Ashley, Garrus and Wrex on to my team.

    Colossus (level) armour and Predator (size) (level) armour is practically interchangeable as 'the best'. It just depends on what you want out of it and how much you like looking at the static designs.

    Just saw the predator armor, looks pretty sweet, and from what I've seen stat wise, it has a slight edge over the Colossus, although you're right, they do seem to be interchangable.

    Colossus has better damage reduction.

    If you're a class with Barrier, it's the best because you need as much DR as possible to survive things that puncture Barrier.

    If you're a class with Immunity, it's the best (despite that meaning you could beat the game naked) because even more DR turns rockets from something that stings a little bit to something that tickles.

    The poor Engineer is left out, and he might actually be best with Predator.
