Just go into your 360 memory and delete all the files associated with ME.
There's probably markers in your save file saying you have x achievement and to give you that bonus; but that shouldn't stop you from getting the achievements unless it specifically tells the game to stop tracking it.
If you don't mind losing your crap just delete the files then go do a quick achievement you haven't gotten yet on your account.
You know, once we had a nice brother-to-brother sit down chat, he wasn't so bad. Oh sure I didn't agree with ALL his views, but he had some good ideas.
yes, this. :winky:
I am so for this. Saren is exactly the kind of "bad guy you can sympathize with" that I love. His initial intentions were noble. He thought he was actually saving more lives by helping the Reapers. His plan just went to shit. Oh and he got enslaved. So seeing him in his pre-indoctrination mentality would be awesome

no, he was an asshole then, too.

Yeah. If you want to see Saren in his early days just read the first ME book. Dude was a dick.

The position as the councils most ultimate badass probably draws that type of personality. Spectres seems like the type of loner asshole job. The good guys are the security and police like C-Sec that have rules and trials.

Since when was being an asshole reason enough to disqualify a character from further development?
It's Mass Effect. You know, that game where you get to choose how much of an asshole/nice guy you want to be.
Meh, I'm not commenting on him getting further character development. Go ahead, develop him all you want. Just don't be surprised if you find little more than complete douche there in the end.
Man my first two playthroughs were all "Yes council! Yes alliance! Let's be friends! Everyone like me!"
I stopped putting up with that shit now. I fucking warned you, you bitches, shut up.
Though I did get annoyed at the council early on and told them off for telling me what to do and they were all "Look we're here to advise and that's what we're doing... we know it's your call but we'll still give you advice" and I felt a bit douche-y

Yeah... Until you think about it. It's your call and they'll advise you...until you offer advice. Then it's their call.

But then we've been down that road a bit.
Well it was right after rescuing Liara, and directly after they were all "Do you trust her?" and I was all "Seriously? Seriously? She has a place in my party slot, she won't turn evil in a Bioware game! Shut up assholes!" and they were all "Hey we're just here to advise you... don't get all uppity because we're doing our job" and I was all "Ok, right. Sorry" and then they were all "Why did you blow the place up" and I was all "Fucking seriously? God you suck" and they were all "Yeah, totally right, sorry we doubted you there.. that was dumb of us"
Yeah. If you want to see Saren in his early days just read the first ME book. Dude was a dick.
A badass dick and not controlled by reapers, that's the right kind of badassness shep would have on his/her team of galaxy wide badasses, being in a geth body he could do stuff no organic could.
Wouldn't it be best, then, to save a pre-Indoctrinated Saren for some kind of prequel trilogy? Play as the bad-ass turian. Play through the mission to determine Anderson's viability as a Spectre candidate?
Why be so limiting as to magically put a 'recording' of his younger brain into a robot just to be second banana to Shepard?
A quite interesting plot thread in ME2, I imagine, will be the romance one. Because the player by that game will (may) have an already-established relationship. This means that the story that plays out will be one of new girl vs. existing girl, which (so far as I am aware) hasn't been played out in an RPG before. It's often no girls > choice of two or three, but we actually get the temptation chapter.
My friendly femshep is going to stick with being a lesbian alien lover, but my asshole maleshep is going to dump Ashley so hard.

I heard that Taky wrote all of the Male shepard romance dialogue based off of Tucker Max.
"Oh, hey Ashley. You're still here? Really? By the way, have you met Miranda?"
So yeah, once again, first time doing the whole New Game + thing. Biotic. Super awesome biotic. With Assault Rifles. And Garrus turning Geth into flaming projectiles themselves.
I decided to rescue Liara first, since last time I accidentally managed to sleep with Kaiden(I still have flashbacks about that. I didn't even talk to him! Our first conversation was the sex!), and sweaty nerd fantasy is better than that ugly ass.
anyways I'm up against the colossus outside the Mako. I remember nothing working against that shit except a bajillion bullets.
Apparently maxed out with prestige class lift and throw work. There is nothing cooler than lifting the fuck out of a goddamn building.

Also, why am I still at work at 4am?
edit:
I lied! Only 3:44. I feel much better now
If there is anything remotely like that in ME2 I will play another game where I romance Ashley right fucking now.
Although I disliked Ashley much less as I was romancing Kaiden on my FemShep. There was this "Kaiden is cute and all but I'm a decent enough person to lay off your Kool-Aid" bit that actually made me feel bad for leaving her to die during my last 7 runs (all of them). Its hard to kill off the guy that kicks people in the jaw with his energy legs.
in my day son we didn't have shotguns to put our shredder rounds in
we used melee, in waist-deep snow, uphill, both ways, and we liked it
We put barbed wire on our feet for traction, and dammit, we were glad to have it.
you spoiled brats complained about the elevators
back in the days men were men, we used the stairs
that'll put hair on your chest
Oh, you kids with your so-called "stairs." I bet you used your sissy little FTL engines and spaceships, too?
When I was a kid, we didn't have those luxuries! When we explored space we WALKED to the nearest star! That's right, took us ten thousand years even to get to Alpha Centuri, in zero Kelvin, through a meteor shower! You know what we called that weather? Bracing!

I romanced Liara just kind of by default. I yelled at Ashley for questioning bringing the aliens onboard, then found out that Tali wasn't romanceable.
Chances are that she's getting dumped.
On that topic, there's one thing that I wish was possible:
Romancing Ashley or Kaiden (and getting the "scene") and then leaving them to die on Virmire.
It would be a great choice for a non-racist, but Renegade Male Shepard.
People who banged Liara are obviously pedophiles :rotate:
I'm pumped to see where things go with both Kaiden and Ashley, they're well written normal people. Of course, Shepard: Space Asshole is going to continue to operate under a Punch/Fuck/Shoot system of galactic diplomacy.
I'm finding it increasingly difficult to remain as racist as possible in this game. I'm going for a Palpatine sort of build, with assault rifles. I want to belittle and insult my alien counterparts, I'm not getting much of an option for that.
Shepard isn't really racist, in Renegade mode he's got a sensible Humanity First attitude and in Carebear mode he's got another sensible We've Got To Work With These Guys mode.
Both attitudes are on equal footing in terms of morality, it's just that some folks around here hate humanity because they're neckbeards who wish for a zombie apocalypse.
I always tried to talk my way out of problems. No one needs to get hurt. Unfortunatley sometimes people didn't want to talk things out and i had to resolve the situation.
And by "resolve", i mean open up with my assualt rifle.
I tried going for Ashley, but I guess I fudged it up somewhere and had no clue where or how, because it just stopped and Liara became the default.
It's when Ashley and Liara comes to you and says you have to choose, if you choose why can't I have both, it defaults to Liara I think you have to specifically pick Ashley to keep going with it.

That doesn't always happen. My first playthrough I was romancing Liara, but screwed it up somewhere. Ashely showed up for it, but I turned her down given that I was going for Liara. I got no romancing at all.

stick to options on the left side of the wheel as a general principle.
and i can commiserate with the 'default to liara' thing. let's hope we don't have to settle in mass effect 2.

Yeah, I'm not sure spending half the game pounding it into your head how young, unexperienced, impressionable, and awkward she is really sets the proper scene for spending the second half of the game pounding in a more literal sense.
Yes I have, I'm a final year engineering student. They're crapping up my favorite watering hole by making out and expecting free drinks or some shit. Get the fuck out of my way, I want beer and good company. A PUB IS NOT A CLUB.

Yeah, this exactly happened with me in reverse. Was going for Ashley, thought I was getting her, but only Liara came into the room, and I had to either pick her, or get nothing.
Like I said, no clue where I screwed the pooch. Whether I didn't take Ashley far enough, or took Liara too far. Wasn't really a big deal, but it did kind of annoy me a little.

As a fellow engineering(electrical) student who has just transferred as a sophomore I was wondering how you would say the higher level classes are. I'm still going through the basic stuff (math and basic programming), but I wanted someone elses opinion on it.

How to make Ashley mad:
Tell her you don't want her on the ship.
Call her a racist.
Make fun of her for believing in God.
Make nasty comments about her sister.
I haven't tested all those, but I'm pretty sure doing any of them keeps you from romancing her. I did the second.

First year is jokes, designed to bring all the students to a common level.
Second year is hell, you're rammed full of general engineering-ish knowledge and maths.
Third and fourth year your brain changes to think like an engineer, as you learn technical information and more maths.
In difficulty, I'd say it goes First, Fourth, Third and Second in terms of easiest to hardest.
Fortunately, second year isn't often counted for graduate studies.
