I've actually beat the game four times I think.

I actually have two playthroughs saved right now- one as a renegade male and one as a paragon female. I started the renegade male one and I got so happy to see the people from the first game and then I had to be all rude to stay in character.

I want to be a paragon my first time through ME2 for sure and I didn't feel like playing with a female Shepard this time

If you make the right decisions on the last missions and have the correct Normandy upgrade people shouldn't be dieing (loyalty may also factor in). So basically, if you're a thorough player people don't die.

BTW, what difficulty did you play on?

I played on the default, normal difficulty. Never changed it during the game.

Also, I got every ship upgrade except the med-bay to heal Shepard's scars since they healed themselves with my Paragon choices.

I did every loyalty mission as well and the only person on my crew that wasn't loyal was Jack because I pissed her off when her and Miranda were arguing and I sided with Miranda.

If your paragon/renegade score is high enough, you could've gone back and talked to Jack to get her loyal (same holds true for Miranda).

Yeah mine wasn't high enough, even though my Paragon score was near the max. Every time I tried talking to Jack, the 2 conversation options were greyed out so I was stuck saying "Fine". lol.

I just got off of there, and from what I've played, it seems pretty extensive. Ive played for a little over an hour so far and I'd say Im halfway through it. Overlord DLC is alot of fun, especially considering how lacking Mass Effect DLC has been in the past.

The ending is completely ****ed.

Just beat the game again. A much better ending than my first time around (I didn't have everyone loyal to me the first time. Stupid Justicar).
