Re: Mass Effect 2

So go for Morinth.

heh, maybe I will. I just started the loyalty missions (see below) so I have yet to meet Morinth.

question, can I do all the loyalty missions before doing side quest stuff, or will completing the loyalty missions take me straight into the rest of the game? I just started Tali's loyalty mission, which is my first loyalty mission, and I'm asking because I want to make sure I do things in order so that I can do the most missions possible before the end.

Re: Mass Effect 2

Any advice for picking some of these codes in the beginning of the game. I am really confused when it comes to the ones with the lock picks. I have no clue what I am doing. My 6 year old led through the one with the writing. That's a DAMN SHAME a 6 year old had to figure it out. To bad he had to go to bed. I'm tempted to wake him up to help me pick these locks. Lol!!! Any a help is greatly appreciated I am trying to not skip through. Peace!!!!

I just look for something that gives the code some sort of description like, "A bunch of orange lines in the middle and a purple line at the top," that will allow me to find a match easily. I've done that on every one of them except the first one because I didn't know what and the hell I was supposed to do.

Yeah, just look at the patterns and you should get the hang of it. There's also an upgrade that doubles the time limit for hacking. I don't remember where I bought it, though.

Exactly...I just find a unique block, like "big blob of purple" or "two white lines with a brown one in the middle" and just look for that. After a while you get good at it.

Yeah I'm starting to get the hang of it. Got the last 2 with no problem.

Am I skipping anything because I'm over 2 1/2 hour's in and I got my new ship and I'm being sent out already on a mission. Have the quest started or are they set up later as the game goes. I just don't want to be skipping/missing quest. I'm wondering am I going to fast due to overlooking quest? I'm a Level 3 Soldier? Also why can't I gather scrap?

You can still play afterwards (assuming Sheppard lives) so you don't need to worry about missing missions.

If you talked to the Illusive Man and that was the mission you're being sent out on you can do things afterwards. If you can't gather scrap it would be due to not having probes unless you mean something else by gathering scrap.

ME2 doesn't have the loot system like ME1, so you're not constantly searching for scrap stuff...

Also, you're not going too fast, once you get the ship and start gathering your team is the normal routine...not much before that to do differently

What You Didn't Know About Mass Effect 2

Game development often lasts for years. And in that stretch of time, studios have their fair share of ups and downs. From humorous game bugs to stress-relieving antics, Game Informer peers behind the curtain of game development. In this Tidbits column, BioWare shares the stories behind the development of Mass Effect 2.

• Boo, the space hamster, is actually voiced by the lead programmer.

• Mass Effect 2 was the first game to use exotic dancers at EA Canada’s motion capture studio in Burnaby, Canada.

• We did eight full HUD revisions during the development phase of Mass Effect 2.

• There have been over 900,000 code and content submissions (so far) during the Mass Effect franchise development.
• The Main Menu in Mass Effect 2 was revised three times.
• The first breakable object in Mass Effect 2 was an explosive fire extinguisher which is now only used in the Krogan’s acquisition mission.

• There are 52 custom load screens used through out the game.

• Our Scrum Teams were all named after fake action movie names, such as Fighting Fishdogs, Meteor Apocalypse, and, of course, Meteor Apocalyptical Redemption.

• There are over 25,000 lines of conversational dialogue in Mass Effect 2.
• If you went through each main path of conversations end to end, you would be sitting in your chair for over 25 hours straight.

• The model ships in commander Shepard’s cabin are scaled down versions of the full-sized cinematics ships from Mass Effect 1. They are the most expensive per pixel objects in Mass Effect 2.

• The development team’s final team wide meeting was held at The Palace, a venue usually used for boxing matches.

• Corey Gaspur (combat designer) is the team’s reigning Street Fighter champion.

• Team BioWare came in first place in the Game Industry’s 2008 TFT2 Studio Rumble tournament.
• Raylene Deck, a level designer, spent the most amount of time working on a single area of the game (2,161.43 hours).
• We had more then 10,000 hours of automated testing performed during the debugging phase of Mass Effect 2.

Re: Mass Effect 2

I can't imagine spending over 2,000 hours working on one thing.

Tali Love Question:

Spoiler

So I say I won't do it unless it's safe, and she says she'll find a way. It's been like that after 3 missions now. What does it take for her to find a way to do "it"?

Also my sheppard already had fun with crazy jack, so I guess he's just a space pimp

And no Candyman I don't "love" Grunt, but he is my favorite character. I really liked Wrex in the first one also. Guess Krogans just amuse me.
