WTF...

I return to my quarters on the Normandy and my fish died? I had been feeding them regularly but went on some missions and hadn't been back for a while. I had no idea they could die. I has a sad.

There are spoilers in these videos so if you haven't gone through the game you probably shouldn't watch. These are some hilarious renegade dialog options

Re: Mass Effect 2

Min/max is an Rpg term for people who do number crunching to find out the most powerful combination of stats and powers and so on.

I just came across a thread comparing the fact the Sentinel is able to have Warp ability on the same level as an Adept, plus the Sentinel Armor.

EDIT: Here's the thread:

Well I never take the time to "crunch the numbers". but IMO, Sentinel is probably the most balanced class in the ME2. maybe even the best. I'll probably use it for an insanity run.

Far as the endings...

Spoiler

If someone isn't loyal there's a good chance they'll die. Not 100% but a very good chance that's what'll happen. If you make the wrong choices regardless of loyalty they WILL die. The only random in this seems to be Mordin. People have had his loyalty and have had him die at the door. Myself included,I re-loaded and did something different. Though there's people that didn't have him die at the door and he lived anyway. The only sure way people have come up for him to survive is have his loyalty and then either have him on your team or send him back with the crew.

Thats wrong: Some info and Facts in Spoiler Tag.

Spoiler

For me Mordin never died, but I didnt have him do to many things. I had Garrus do team leader both times, samara do barrior because miranda is a pansy, Tali do heat pipe and Zaeed to go back with crew. 100% sucess for the 4 times I did it. Actual party upgrades dont play a part and Loyalty has to be at 100% for crew.

Re: Mass Effect 2

Well, at long last with my ME1 character finally at 60, I've jumped back into this. So far, so awesome! I really like the bonuses (seem like a good balance...just enough to make you feel like you have a leg up, but not so much that you are blasting through everything untouched).

I also liked that I was able to change my character's appearance. I basically kept mine the same (for continuity...I've been "that" Shepperd for so long, that's the only way I see him now), but touched up some goofs from the first (giant neck and overdone cheekbones) and shaved my head.

I like how everything is more streamlined, although I admittedly already miss some of the more detailed RPG leveling and equipment elements (and not being able to remove your helmet for the bonus armors flat-out sucks). That minor boo-hoo aside, this game already seems to have incredible depth of story, characters, and meaningful side-quests. I finally jumped into it tonight (err...last night, I guess...lol) and have been playing virtually nonstop for 6 hours.

Anyway, I'm off to hit it up for a couple more before bed!


EDIT: Oh, I forgot...I know I'm late, but I was one of the DLC fortunates and all checks out, so if anyone still wants/needs the Terminus code, shoot me a PM.

Re: Mass Effect 2

Hell the only person that died on me was Legion at the door. Dumb butt should have ducked LOL. Miranda got shot but she survived. Grunt is the man ! That Krogan was kicking serious butt.

I'm wishing I had a save where I saved the council AND the rachni queen. That or a way to choose what major decisions you made.

I thought if you weren't importing a character than you can just go down the list and pick the events as you liked?

Certain events, yes

Spoiler

like in that early scene where Miranda is testing your memory...if it's a new character you can establish some detail

but a new game defaults to you letting the council die.

I think most would say it goes Infiltrator then Sentinel for damage. Evidently that tech armor is potent.

Yeah, I quoted that thing from Penny-Arcade but they came back with an update. Seems to the developer that told Tycho that working with a debug version of the game that allowed him to go down a checklist of events.

Re: Mass Effect 2

What guns does the Sentinel use? Sounds like a pretty decent character to use for a 2nd runthrough. Prefer more powers and fun compared to swapping out bullets all the time lol I know the bullets work well, just not as cool.

I got the tech Armor and am still getting raped on Insanity....-_-.

It'd be cool to have the checklist...though my character saved the queen and the council like someone asked for.

Be fun to tailor my next char however I want (not about to play through ME again right now)
