    actually I have a question
    it seems the game revolves around making your team loyal to you. what I wonder is, wouldn't Garrus and Tali already be pretty loyal, considering the shit that goes down in the first game? especially if you did their little sidequests. it makes me wonder if there's going to be some trepidation there due to shepard working for cerberus
    This seems to be the reason I would deem most likely

    I'm actually kind of bummed they have so much DLC like that. I mean extra stuff is cool but that seemed like a lot of extra stuff.

    It is just a mentality thing I guess. Need to switch over from the old idea of getting everything that the game has to offer until somebody makes more.

    It just kind of feels like the old conversation that they are not putting a ton of stuff in the game so they can sell it back to you later.

    I'm not complaining! I worded it badly. I meant to say that that would be a way of looking at it that is not right, but that is what it kind of felt like?

    I loved the Dragon's Age DLC :(

    even if you import a save, you can edit any part of it including changing decicions, faces, party members

    i think the only thing completely locked in is your gender

    so a save repository is stupid

    Man, if you can change stuff this play through is kind of pointless. other then to import a slightly higher level character, which seems pointless.

    You can't change stuff. There are two (I believe) -major- ME1 decisions that you can alter in ME2, but pretty much everything else is locked in.

    Everything else has a 'default' that you end up with if you start a new, unimported character.

    Speaking about the default plot decisions of ME1...
    ...how did 'killed Wrex' pass as one?

    because you need to sink a hell of a lot of points into charisma to pull it off

    The assumption for all the default choices, as far as I'm aware, was 'path of least resistance' and 'mixed paragon renegade'. I didn't actually work on any of that, though, so I could be wrong. But I'm fairly certain that's about accurate.

    or
    you just do his sidequest which requires nothing more than talking to wrex after two big missions and then killing a building full of dudes

    then you don't need to spend a single point in charm or intimidate because you've won his heart

    So I was dashing out the door whilst my roommate was doing his Canon Run and I noticed that on this first playthrough with the character he was about to drop 100 omni-gel to skip the Tower of Hanoi


    D:

    An old hand at the puzzle, I calmly shrieked for him to stop and collectedly guided him step-by-step through the puzzle, thus saving him repair grist for Bring Down the Sky.

    I don't know! Maybe!

    The idea behind it was that someone who hasn't played ME1 shouldn't be presented with a laundry list of decisions that are completely lacking in context right off the bat.

    Why should they care if they killed some alien they've never heard of?

    Obviously it's not ideal for people who've switched platforms between the two games, but we did make it clear when ME1 was still fairly new that 'hey you should keep your save files JUST SAYING'.
