People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made. |

There's also the Aquila system and the Carnifex Hand Cannon.

Read it carefully. It's called the Carnifex. It's Latin for 'executioner' or 'butcher'.

Remember that you have to play on Hardcore or Insane to find the pulse rifle.
You can actually find one in ME1 as well. It's awesome.

I smiled when I saw the Carnifex Hand Cannon. 
Also, does anyone know how to far the damn Cain-mini-nuke-thingy? It seems to charge then phase out.

Notice how instead of the ammo counter, it's got the % under the reticule? You need at least 100% to fire it and you have to hold down the trigger/mouse button until it fires.

So I have to hold the trigger finger till it gets to 100%?
Or I have to find enough ammo so that it get's up to 100%?

The Flamethrower is awesome. People don't actually have animations and sound effects for burning to death like in Gears of War 2, but it's really powerful. Automatically Appended Next Post: The Avalanche is awesome if you're an Adept because you can freeze people and use Warp to shatter them.

You probably won't find any to your satisfaction (or living up to what Bioware hyped up). The Ashley/Liara parts were the two most glaring "let's patch it up and get over it" moments. At least Wrex acted like Wrex.
I suggest you go to the Citadel and look for a reporter you talked to in the first game, the one that kept on pulling the "human betrayal" chain on you. There's a great Renegade QTE with her.

I met Kaidan, which was a happy embrace followed by the same gak. The captain's quarters does have a picture of him on the desk. Other than that, it's just cameo's, Anderson is a council member, I regained my useless SPECTRE title and that's it for now. There are some minor conversation options that I discover here and there, but other than that, nope. I am looking forward to meeting Konrad again, wherever that prick may be.

Just completed it today. Can't help but feel there should have been a bit more in between the loyalty missions and the final omega 4 relay bit. Didn't feel like a proper build up to the climax.

It seems that I let the Rachni live in the first game. I met a character who met the Queen and it would appear that if you let the Rachni live, they will help you in ME3 in your most direst moment, whatever that might be.

This is exactly correct. Scanning planets just isn't enough. Being able to interact with characters in a non-main-quest-dependent manner would go a long way to helping with this in ME3. Somehow I doubt anyone at BioWare reads dakka.

2: armor pieces increased.
3: planet scanning was good but it was kinda meh. make it more fun.
4. more inventory with gun.
5: also just for the heck of it bring back zaeed.

I met Konrad, it would appear that I shoved a gun in his face in ME1, turning him into a jerk clone of myself. I also met that undercover agent from the first game, both she and Konrad netted me a small side quest for some extra XP. I am beginning to think that most of the choices from the first game won't have an impact until the third game.
