    just finished collecting me crew (except for whoever is between Zaeed and Samara on the squad select page haven't found him/her yet lol) and doing their loyalty missions

    Aquiring Reaper IFF is next...

    should avoid this thread until i beat the game lol

    To be fair, going through the Omega 4 relay is called a "suicide mission" pretty early on in ME2.

    Oh, and advice about the Reaper IFF, spoilers but as generic as I can make them:
    Make sure you have all of the crew members you can recruit and have done all their loyalty missions before getting the Reaper IFF. Without getting into details, your time after this mission is very limited.

    If you leave one loyalty mission for after - just one - it'll still work out.

    Two actually, but it is a very specific two. And best saved for a second play through.

    Jack's loyalty mission is relatively short, and Zaeed's is pretty fun so I'd knock out both if you can.

    "lol" is not punctuation.

    If you lost Jack's loyalty due to the fight after her mission, I think you can restore it with a high (near-max) paragon/renegade option if you go talk to her in the hold, otherwise you're screwed.

    Please stop saying lol after your posts.
    You should go down and talk to Jack, there's a renegade or paragon conversation option that will let you get her loyalty back.

    Finished off the last few achievements I was missing (insanity, Brawler, Tactician, the Arrival stuff) yesterday.

    Some thoughts (spoiler-tagging them because I see someone is playing through for the first time)
    - Joker and EDI are still great, and all of their dialogue during the Collector raid is great.

    - Miranda is a colossal jerk to Joker when she comes back from that Mystery Mission. She's not surviving my "canon run" :P

    - Tali's loyalty mission is really depressing if you don't have the paragon/renegade scores to tell off the Admiralty Board.

    - Do you always get a conversation with TIM before you go through the relay? I didn't remember this at all.

    - I've been converted to the First Church of Jennifer Hale. I think I might do another whole-game-run this winter break before ME3 - femshep, romance Liara, kill Kaidan, save Wrex, destroy the Collector base.

    You can save Tali without ratting out her dad by appealing to the crowd even if you're a grape paladin - it's just that the following cutscene is less viscerally satisfying.
    If you lost Jack's loyalty due to the fight after her mission, I think you can restore it with a high (near-max) paragon/renegade option if you go talk to her in the hold, otherwise you're screwed.
    I'm pretty sure that the checks to persuade Miranda/Jack/Tali/Legion are lower than the ones to end the initial conflict peacefully - after all, if you need the second check, obviously your score wasn't good enough for the first one, so it only makes sense to decrease the requirement.

    And then Joker becomes a squaddie. Why? Why the fuck not!

    Imagine the combat banter! "Tis just a flesh wound!", "Gah, my legs!", "Okay Shepard, but you're carrying me back!"

    And he will be an engineer class. And his special ability will be rocket drone launching leg braces.

    I think they're identical which makes sense because you can trigger the Miranda/Jack one really early.

    And to hit them you usually just need to respec into the class specific evolution that gives +100% to your paragon/renegade score instead of +60%.

    Dunno how an hour in the studio equates to lines successfully recorded/used, but that does sound like it'll be quite a bit more.
    - Tali's loyalty mission is really depressing if you don't have the paragon/renegade scores to tell off the Admiralty Board.
    You don't need the red/blue text, you can incite the crowd if you've saved Kal'Reegar and...I think there was someone else, but I can't remember. Non-tortured Veetor maybe.

    Sole survivor of the first Geth attack since the initial rebellion, which is similar to Shep's Maw run in. Lesser, but still notable. Was part of the team that killed a rogue Spectre and saved the Citadel. Two years of Spec Ops. I can see that being sufficient to be high on the list of human candidates. Probably even enough to overlook a few political blunders. Also, good for placating the Alliance crowd while still not giving too much to the Terra Firma types.

    Finished Mass Effect 2 earlier today. The ending is a lot of fun, and super tense. Didn't lose anyone either.

    I will say that the Cain is a pointless heavy weapon, it has too much of a chance of harming you. For vanilla ME2, I never did find a heavy weapon much better than the Collector gun.

    One thing I'm hoping Mass Effect 3 has is the ability to edit your existing character's looks. In ME2, if I wanted to edit my transfered Shepard, I had to start from scratch, I couldn'
    t edit from a pre-existing designed face.
