Re: Mass Effect 2

This guy on youtube made a series of his playthrough, mostly cutscenes of ME1 & it has helped me follow the story.

Re: Mass Effect 2

Greatest regret is that I can't play ME1. I don't get to interact with Conrad Verner or anything.

Re: Mass Effect 2

Hey guys looking for a little help. I just did another playthrough and got everyone through the suicide Michelle except for Jack. She was not loyal going into the suicide mission. I messed up and didn't use my paragon and renegade skills in the Jack and Miranda conversation. Oh well.
So with that said I have a save that goes into my suicide mission where Jack is not loyal. Is there anything I can do in the suicide mission to keep Jack alive? I've upgraded pretty much everything and everyone else survived with no problem when I play through it. I have all the DLC characters also.

I don't think there's a way to get anyone who isn't loyal to survive, although I've never went through a play through without getting everyone loyal.

It's possible. Make sure Grunt, Garrus, and Zaeed all stay back to hold the line. Send Mordin, Tali, or Kasumi to escort the crew. Have Samara/Morinth do the bubble. Definitely DO NOT take Jack with you to the final battle. If everyone else is loyal, your Hold the Line score should be high enough to keep Jack alive. Also, if your paragon/renegade score is high enough, you can actually apologize and regain her loyalty but you only have 1 chance to do it.

Re: Mass Effect 2

Thanks. I'll try another combination. I left her back last time but took Garrus and Miranda with me. Maybe in should take a couple of the weaker guys with me instead.

You can also go to the Mass Effect wiki and find out more info there. Just be warned there's spoilers in that place, but it helped me out all the time when I was wondering about something.

Take anybody but Garrus, Zaeed, Grunt, or unloyal Jack and she'll live.

Thane wasnt loyal to me but he survived in my play through

Thane wasnt loyal to me but he survived in my play through

Unloyal Thane is worth 1 Hold the Line point whereas loyal Thane is worth 2. Unloyal Jack is 0 points and 1 point loyal. The team needs a overall score of 2.0 for everyone to survive. Anything under 2 and people start dying.

It usually comes down to who you choose to put where during the different sections, while loyal members provide more support overall then a non loyal member, I'm sure you can get through it without losing non loyal members. Like I said before though I've never played through the game without getting everyone loyal, so I was just speculating.

Re: Mass Effect 2

Success!

Spoiler

Sent Kasumi back with the crew. Took Tali and Jacob through with me and left not loyal Jack back with everyone else. Everyone survived

. I had beat the game before but didn't have the Kasumi DLC so I wanted a save with everyone. It made me sick when I messed up the Jack/Miranda conversation. Glad I was able to salvage a full squad for my next ME 3 play through.
Thanks for the help guys.
