Let me guess, it's the old school rpg crowd?

Them and random people who complain about love interests and how Bioware has changed things for the sequel.

So evidently Gamestop already stopped taking pre-orders for the collector's edition.

The cast just seems so much more badass this game.

And apparently Samara is a justicar, kind of like an asari Spectre but without actually being above galactic law.

I'm really looking forward to having a full biotic in my squad that doesn't remind me of the 16-year old girl who once gave me a note to tell me she had a crush on me.

Re: Mass Effect 2

I played through Mass Effect as a vanguard, then started a second playthrough as an adept but I only got halfway through as an adept. Which character would I start with in ME2? Would it give me a choice, just use the one that I beat the game with or only use my most recent save?

It lets you change your class and stuff if you wish before starting, even your appearance.

I know that, I'm curious if I can use the same character I had during my first play through because the decisions I made for that character are the ones I want to carry over into the second one.

Yes.

Q) You've already said that you'll be able to play as your old character from Mass Effect in Mass Effect 2. However, the first game allows for multiple play thru's for one character, meaning you could have two different play thru’s of the same character with polar-opposite decisions made. Does Mass Effect 2 allow you to pick which play through you want as a reference point, or does it just default to the most recent playthru data?

A) Every time you finish Mass Effect 1...it makes a special save game that is the end-state for that play-thru. Then, when you have Mass Effect 2 and you run the import utility, it will look at all of your ending save games from Mass Effect 1. Then, it lists them out and it lists some of the relevant data, so you can remember which one was which, [like] when you made the save game and some of the key decisions, and when you import that save game, it gives you a full rundown of what happened in that, so that you can do a final double check (i.e.), paragon play-thru, Ashley survived, and Wrex died, and all these things. Then you can make that final confirmation that is the save game that you remember and that you want to continue from...and into Mass Effect 2.

Re: Mass Effect 2

thanks jmood, that's good to know.

I'm still unsure if I'll be getting this when it comes out or if I'll wait for the price to drop a bit. Right now I'm a little overloaded on games so it would make sense to wait, but I really liked the first one so we'll see what happens.

Re: Mass Effect 2

I think you could only use your first character anyway because ME2 uses the end of game save for importing. If you didn't finish with the second character then you'd only have one.

Spoiler

That Tali reveal makes me feel like I kind of have to have her in my group. I mean her people seemed pretty important to her and now she's basically exiled? ouch.

Just watched the trailer for the terminus armor and i might have to head over to Gamestop. When I get a job, that is.

Re: Mass Effect 2

Oh so I don't have to play again. Maybe I should anyway since I'm at level 49. Though come to think of it I forgot I haven't done the last DLC yet and have to play anyway.

Re: Mass Effect 2

Me neither but I heard it wasn't worth the $20

Glad I pre ordered mine when I did.
