Re: Mass Effect - Impressions

I usually stick with the same squad, but I try to mix it up every once in a while.

You should, I just got to the part where you can add Wrex, but before you add him, if you add Ashley and Kaiden back in and head to the balcony before going to see Garrus, there is a special scene. There are quite a few moments such as that, especially with the assignments that involve more charm and intimidate before you start them.

Re: Mass Effect - Impressions

Question: Are y'all sticking with the same squad all the time or rotating?

Always switching up for each side quest. For missions though it's usually Ashley and Liar with me as the tech guy Infiltrator.

We went Thresher Maw hunting in the Artemus Tau Cluster on planet Edolus, and the Thresher Maw kept diving into the sand and re-emerging behind us. One time he went under and when he re-emerged he came up right underneath the Mako; sending us soaring through the air for what seemed like forever!

When we finally came back down the Mako landed on it's back, so we hopped out and finished off the Thresher Maw on foot...

Bump that, had a Thresher Maw come up right behind my Mako and total it when I had no previous damage.

I started a new career on hardcore...Wow, much much harder. I decided to start hardcore over with the character I beat the game with, but when I set the options at the main menu to hardcore, it always loads up in game with normal with my previous character. I go to the menu and switch to hardcore asap, does anyone know if this will kill the hardcore achievement?

Well I finally bought the game...and it's a great game. All though I don't run with Ashley anymore...ex-girl name...just don't see her having my back in the video game world either.

Gotta say it's so much like KOTOR that I miss it. The game has been amazing up to this point but I just miss the whole Star Wars interaction. It was playing a game that you knew some history about. I would love if they did a LOTR game like this.

That would be mind blowingly awesome.

Re: Mass Effect - Impressions

how far into the story does it take to get the rest of the party members? I'm about 6-7 hours in and have just (without spoiling anything) been giving a vessel to traverse space with. I did one mission that was really not a mission at all. I am still missing two people.

I have Ashley, Aiden, Garrus, Wrex and that Quarian girl that's fascinated with ships. I don't want any spoilers, I just want to know if I've missed the points where I could add people through side quests or whatever.

You get one during one of the main story missions to a planet and for whatever reason I can't remember who else you would be missing.

You've got everyone except one you pick up in a mission, spoilers below (just telling you which mission):

Spoiler

The mission where you find Benezia's daughter Liara

Re: Mass Effect - Impressions

Prestige classes don't get additional abilities. They just enhance existing abilities. As a medic, your first aid and neural shock will be better somehow.

There is a new ability that Medics aquire once they've mastered 'First Aid Specialist', and that is the ability to bring dead squad-mates back to life...That's what I'm looking forward to the most.
