Re: Mass Effect Discussion

Guys, can anyone post a screen shot of a batarian? I am currently reading the novel (have the game but am waiting to finish the book to play it) and I have seens pics of the other races but for some reason I have not seen one of a batarian and they are all over the book. I'm curious to see what they look like.

Thanks in advance if someone is able to do so. Can't wait to start the game! I'm glad I decided to read the novel before though, because I'm highly aniticipating seeing the game universe that I now have some background info on.

Holy crap . . . I better finish this novel (I'm towards the end). No wonder I couldn't find any pics anywhere.

Thanks.

They're not active in the game, but you can get info about them in your codex and I think there is a picture along with the summary about the race, IIRC. I got the "Scholar" achivement on my 2nd playthrough once I got the info on them.

I wonder how they will be goin about for a sequel. I wonder if your character from this game will be playable in the secound, or will it be like KOTOR 2 and just ask you questions at the beggining about the first one. I wonder if that is why the made a lvl cap in this game. Maybe in the secound the cap may go up to 65-70. What are your oppinions.

I could've sworn they stated your character would carry over to the next game as well as how you finished the game.

Bioware has said they'll use an endgame save from ME1 for ME2. Hopefully it will take into account some of the story decisions and not just character level and stats.

Umm, I have two saves...lol. One renagade and one good. Hopefully they let you pick which one. The decisions is the thing I dont understand, wouldn't it be easier the question you on what happened in ME 1.

Some decisions I would hope they keep track of

Spoiler

Save Rachni queen or kill, if you turned down giving up info on Cerberus to the shadow broker, Wrex dead or alive, romanced character, renegade/paragon, save the council, Udina or Anderson as ambassador.

They would have to let you pick...basically it'll be similar to creating a new character vs. using an old one to make a new game on ME.

Really? I'll have to check later, but I thought there was. Alien - NonCouncil Races, maybe?

Re: Mass Effect Discussion

Also, I completed the game and don't see the New Game+ option. Am I missing It's ok because I wanted to start as a brand new male character this time, but I'm not sure why I didn't have the option. Am I missing something?

All that they had in there were the Rachni, those wolf things, and the thresher maws.

Nah, we're talking about 2 different sections then because the codex section I'm talking about definitely has a picture and summary of all the noncouncil races you run into in the game. For example, hanars, volus, krograns, etc. It's even narrated by the voice-over.
