Yea you don't shut down the AI. I won't spoil anything, but it involves joker and the AI becoming BFF's

The ammo system was rather irritating, did anyone play as anything other than a soldier yet? any real good damage options other than the Soldier, like Vangaurd or what not? any thoughts on this

no with your team actually being capaple and shoot well there really isnt.

I played through the game as an Infiltrator (My class from the first game) and they can put out a fair amount of damage with Snipers. I'm not sure if every class gets it, but their Sniper Rifles get a brief time slowdown effect when you zoom in, to give you that extra few seconds to aim and fire off a shot. Plus, the Infiltrator class power (Stealth field) lets you deal extra damage if you fire while cloaked.

I'm still undecided on the ammo system. While it definitely does make you use more than one gun (I know in ME1 I only ever used two - and about 90% of that was just the one) it's kind of annoying to need a Sniper Rifle shot to take out a distant enemy - and only have handgun and SMG rounds available. At least there is the redeeming factor that every clip you pick up fills ammo for all of your weapons, so it's not too bad.

There is so much funny fething dialouge on this game.

I wanted to fly to Illium next and it said I had to switch discs. Is there anything I should do before visiting that Planet? At this point I have 3 missions there are a bunch of other missions I haven't played yet.

Bioware ripped a page out of Bethesda's books on ME2, which was about the best idea they had since Mass Effect was concieved.

Unlike ME1, ME2 is continuous. So you have plenty of free-play after you finish the game.

As long as he survives I suppose.

I played infiltrator, worked well enough in terms of damage. Especially after picking up the Widow sniper rifle. Suck it, thresher maw!

Ha! I remember that. One of the best lines ever in that game. Another one of my favorites was:


Gotta love that Joker...shame he didn't show up much, other than his moment of glory near the conclusion of the game.

Game was definatly worth getting. Better Gamplay,Graphics,(90% more Tali) and I didn't fail at making a decent looking shepard!
Now im gonna play through it 11 times and cause my friends and family to worry before I buy dragon age and DOW2 Chaos rising.

Help me on this one: If I want the "no one left behind" achivement I have to earn the trust of every squad member through their help-missions, did I geht that right?

But they have to be succesfull. I heard that in Zaeeds Loyalty Mission I have to decide if I want to help him or some some people.

Some Spoilers would be accepted about this topic.

Zaeed is easy enough. I rescued the hostages, gave him a little Paragon talk and he's still loyal.

Good to know. I was afraid I couldn't beat it as full Paragorn.

Not that I went full Paragorn so far. Some moments were just too good to pass up the renegade option.

I know what you mean. Some situations are very tempting, like that one on Ilium.

Which one? The one where you shove the merc out the window, or the one where you gun down that asari?

I could never do full paragon. It's just too tempting to do things like the one on Tuchanka (Where you shoot the tank that the Krogan rebel is standing on...daaaaamn)

Anyone else curious about mordins recruitment mission. why is there a disease that does not affect humans? and the vorcha mention the collectors. do you think that they may have cut something from the game.
maybe the collectors were planning on hitting omega. so maybe the seeker swarms only affect humans so thay needed to kill the rest of the pop.

Didn't you listen to Mordin? He says that the Collectors probably engineered the plague to kill all non-humans on Omega.

Locclo: The occasional renegade action doesn't lower your Paragon meter, and vice versa. It's why you have two seperate meters, unlike Knights of the Old Republic where you had a sliding Light/Dark meter.

There's no "probably" about it.
Mordin definitively says that the plague was being "field tested" on Omega, where it would be exposed to a huge number of species and different situations before using it to suppress human colonies.

how would a disease that doesnt kill humans be effective in human colonies. the seeker swarms imho are faster.

Because if the disease was released into mixed-species colonies, there'd be no witnesses when the Seeker Swarms are released.

It would have been used for picking off larger targets where there are both humans and aliens.

garret wrote:how would a disease that doesnt kill humans be effective in human colonies. the seeker swarms imho are faster.

Sure G, the seeker swarms would be faster...but then you have to deal with all that weeding out the humans from the aliens.

And I don't recall if the Seeker Swarms are reusable or not. Could be a factor as to why they want a xenos-specific plague.

Although, there's not just the convenience factor. You've also got the fact that look at what the plague did on Omega. Turned pretty much everyone against humanity.

Imagine if they could have done it on a galactic rather than a station-wide scale? Nobody would ever even remotely consider investigating the disappearance of human colonies. Hell, they'd probably hand humans over to the Collectors themselves.

first post release dlc releashed. anyone try the new weapon. im not starting again until i play me1 again.
i should assume that the armors is pretty much only good in the beggining?

Oh no. Cerberus armor is awesome in Insanity campaign. At least as Infiltrator with a good enough Heavy Weapon.

The shotgun is great for Jack or Grunt, hell even Jacob.

But who actually uses Jacob? Grunt is a better tank/short range fighter and Jack/Samara are both better biotics.

Cheese Elemental wrote:But who actually uses Jacob? Grunt is a better tank/short range fighter and Jack/Samara are both better biotics.

On Insane...there are plenty of levels where taking Jacob and Zaeed or Jacob and Miranda are the most effective combinations.

Due to Jacob having Incendiary Rounds(upgraded to Squad) and Miranda having Warp/Overload?
Oh man, you better believe that works wonders on Purgatory or other missions facing Blue Suns.

Actually, I always tend to favour a select group on missions. At least when not on insane. (For example, I have never used Mordin. He's funny, but I always picture him closer to Dr. Chakwas' role)
