Where and when do I get Legion? I want to make sure Tali's on board for that one. ^^

I think he's referring to that once that thing happens, you should go through the relay as soon as possible otherwise ensign hot pants turns into a smoothie.

If you do assignments before loyalty missions after you crew is abducted, you'll apparently lose them for good. Scanning planets and doing loyalty missions gives you all the time you need though.

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. |

Wait. What are assignments?
I now have every squad member except Legion and was planning on doing either a few loyalty missions or going to Place where I get Legion.
Haven't decided on who to have a relationship with. Either Jack or Kelly. Or Tali. Oh, the choices, the choices.
The Avalanche Gun sucks btw. but I love the Blackstorm.
Also, I met Conrad Verner again and he was still crazy. I am 100% sure I did the Paragorn ending with him, yet he still says I shoved a gun in his face. That's also one of the bugs that keeps getting mentioned in the official Forum. I was tempted to shoot him in the foot, but I'll keep that option for my 2nd playthrough. 
Sucks about not being able to take of the helmet of your armor, but at least his voice changes. The Blood Dragon Armor is pretty bad ass.

Assignments are side-quests.
And Conrad Verner is currently bugged, which BioWare will hopefully fix with a patch.

Yes, I know; I misspoke. I meant I would never be able to do 100% paragon and 0% renegade. Like I said, renegade options are way too tempting.

Dude how can you NOT do a few renegade options here and there?????? Shepard is a BADASS when he does it..... and he knows how to say the most amazing lines like "you talk to much" classic!!!!
Although you could do what I did and did the renegade then right after it was over I reloaded to the nearest checkpoint and did the paragon.....mostly cause the renegade option frightened me a little when it came up cause I thought the gak was seriously about to hit the fan when it came up.

So, I was in this place people call the mall a while back. And I had the urge to expel some bad spirits. As I went into the bathroom, I chose the urinal closes to the corner so I could have some privacy. So I whip out Lord Pevincy and let him loose the bad spirits. Well, I was looking at the wall as the Lord was expelling the spirits and I seemed to have gotten distracted. Turns out, I missed a little.
SO I'm sitting at my computer right, and I have a Coke, Bottled mind you. But it got warm, so I got a Coffie cup and I filled it with the coke and some Ice and I sipped as I did my internet stuff. So like and hour passed and I hadn't sipped any of it. and when I go to sip it, I notice that something solid is in it. So I'm like, "No, why would there be something solid in my coke?" SO I pull these solid THINGS off my tongue and guess what they are? F ING ANTS! I was like WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And so I ran into the Kitchen coughing and what not and I threw those little bastards down the drain with a flood of hate and cold water.......those bastards are lucky I don't have my Nucians yet!!! |

Of course I did all the Loyalty missions as soon as I got them. But when you say I'll lose them left and right do you mean that like if I don't take Jacks upgrade will his section of the Normandy be Blown to hell? Or I don't upgrade Garrus he dies? Is that what you mean or do you mean everyone dies at random?

So, I think I screwed up. 
I really wanted to get Legion, so I didn't do all the Loyalty missions before I boarded the Reaper but now my Crew is gone and I still have a few help-missions left. I fully upgraded the ship but I'm afraid I'll now loose my Crew because I didn't go right after them. Which sucks. I don't think I still have a save from before the Reaper.
This is going to bite me in the butt in ME3, won't it?

You have all the time in the world to do loyalty missions before going through the Omega 4 relay.
Anyway, the only real loss would be the engineers. Those two have hilarious dialogue.

I am wondering though, how do you get Jack's loyalty after her mission? I went all the way through it, did everything, and then apparently sucked it up afterwards. She got her new ability and outfit, but I didn't get her loyalty.
Oh, and I would guess you basically start losing crewmembers who you don't have loyalty for during the final battle. I know I managed to keep everyone alive all the way to the end - then Jack died when . And she was the only one I didn't get to be loyal to me.

What exactly is "a few people"? I'm happy enough if I can keep Scotty. I assume the love scene will again be triggered right before the final mission?
