Re: Mass Effect 2

Finished this morning.

Spoiler

Jack was the only one to die. I kept treating her like a bitch and was happy to see her die.

I wish that the Justicar would have died but oh well, I can't help that.

Not sure what I'm going to play as next. Maybe I'll do Adept or Soldier.

Actually you CAN help that. You could've killed her on her loyalty quest or just sent her on the wrong mission at the end,especially if she wasn't loyal.

True, but I didn't feel that particularly evil.

I'm tempted to go back to ME1 and start a renegade there...

It's cool that the scenes change depending on the squad you bring.

...and I'm sure you've shown that love to Jack, right?

I really dislike Jack actually.

I will say that Biotics is fun as hell, though. Doing a Shep with Biotics is like a wrecking crew with slam, singularity and the warp. So awesome.

Yeah, biotics are growing on me. I still prefer my Infiltrator with sniper and stealth, but my 2nd runthrough with a Renegade Adept is pretty fun.

I will definitely miss my infiltrator. Biotics are great but an Infiltrator can turn the tide of a battle with one shot.

I'm definitely going to miss my sniper rifle, love that weapon.

Re: Mass Effect 2

This was funny. Kind of reminded me of Raiders of the Lost Ark when Indiana Jones was in the middle of Cairo, I think, looking for Marion when he was confronted by a swordsman. After the swordsman does his neat tricks with the sword, Indiana Jones just pulls out a gun and shoots him? Well...

Spoiler

I was doing the Tali recruit mission when I got to the end with the Collosus. The quarian marine gave me all this strategy to try to defeat the thing. I had every intention of doing it that way but remembered I had that M90 gun, or whatever it is. The nuclear gun/cannon. I get that thing out and shoot it at the Collosus. Big explosion. Fight over. Thought, "That was easy."

Re: Mass Effect 2

Re: Mass Effect 2

Finished the game after the super bowl, so many spoiler tags waiting to be opened lol

Spoiler

I imported a ME1 Level 50 Paragon Vanguard who had romanced Ashley. Kept him Paragon, changed to Soldier. I figured I'd keep him loyal to Ashley but I didn't get the cutscene showing him look at her picture, probably because I gamed up Miranda & Tali just to turn them down at the end. I didn't get the least bit of play from Jack though, she sent Shepard away everytime. Anyway, if they track staying loyal to the ME1 love interest, I better get credit for that. Shepard may have picked up the cookie jar but he didn't partake.

--- Did some reading, and my end of game autosave has Ashley's picture face down. 42 hours and i have to do it again because I didn't make a single manual save (damn you Bioware for improving the autosaves so much). I was going to play through a couple more times but not with this shepard. Ash may be a bitch but she's Shepard's bitch, and of the ME1 love interests, shes the only one that makes sense to be loyal to. Asari live for 100s of years and look how much Liara changed in a mere 2. Not to mention that 8/10 Asari dropkick her in the looks department. Plus she saw Shep's dead rotting body. You can't reignite the flames after that. Anyway, i guess i'll do a speed run New Game + with this Shephard on easy or normal (to get level 30).

*re-reads, wonders if maybe he put too much thought into ME2* ---

I had everyone except Thane & Samara loyal, but the only one who died was Legion. Reading other accounts I guess he shouldn't be the tech specialist at the end. Going to run through with my other two ME1 characters on Hardcore then Insanity. Hopefully I can get everyone loyal and lose noone, which I thought was going to be easier.

Also, the Cain >>> your favorite gun. I remember wondering why it wouldn't work when i first got it, then the beauty of the first shroom lol

Re: Mass Effect 2

Zaeed is cool.

About the mission:

Spoiler

The vista before you go into the refinery is amazing.

I ended sacrificing the human lives so he could get his revenge. This was my first Renegade decision, but it felt like the right thing to gain his loyalty. Anybody do the opposite?

Spoiler

I was doing a paragon playthrough so I did the opposite and the Blue Suns leader got away but I had a charm option and Zaeed ended up loyal anyway.

Re: Mass Effect 2

So I finished it up last night...

Spoiler

With no one dying!

I can't wait for ME3. I wish I could start it today.

Question about the New Game+ or whatever it's called. I know you get some bonuses, but if I start over, will I then have two end game saves with that Shepard? One from the first playthrough (of which I made some bad decisions) and one from the New Game+? I'm looking at going through again as my main guy, make the decisions anew, get to Level 30, and import THAT character into ME3. Any problems?

Before that, though, I'm going to hit ME1 again as a fem-Shep Renegade, then ME2 with her.
