That's weird. Well, I only have one Loyalty Mission left, guess I'm gonna find out myself soon. After that I have two games I need to review.

My crew died on me. After they got abducted I did about a few Loyalty Missions I had left and when I got to the Collector base only the doctor was left.
I'm probably going to replay a Paragorn Shephard a few weeks before part 3 gets released.

Dunno what went wrong for you there. When my crew got abducted, I still had two loyalty missions to do, and I completed them both but managed to save my crew. I didn't do any sidequests or much planet-scanning either.
My advice: Do every single loyalty mission and sidequest you have before going to find the Reaper IFF, so you'll only have to complete Legion's loyalty mission. Upgrade your ship fully too before going for the IFF, because I'm pretty sure scanning planets lessens the chance that your crew will survive.

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. |

Well, I head about 4 or 5 Loyalty missions left and did some scanning of course, because I had top upgrade a few things.
I now started with a Renegade Adept and while throwing around Mass Effect fields is fun, I already miss the time slowdown from the Soldier.

There's a paragon interrupt before the attack at the end. He will then hang back and support you whilst you attack. This action is mandatory; Adam Baldwin cannot be allowed to die.

I was a little disappointed with how easily the collossus went down, in the end. Spray it with disruptor fire from the SMG until it's shields went down, then blast it with the Widow sniper a few times.
Then again, the Widow is rediculously powerful.

You need high Paragorn scores to get the interrupts.
Also, the awesomeness that is Adam Baldwin was wasted on that Quarian. They should have make Zaeed based on him.

Maybe Kal will get a bigger part in the final game as overall commander of the Quarian Space Marine Corps or something as you fight the evil space robots from across space and time.

I noticed on his IMDB that he voiced several HL2EP2 citizens, including one of the two who are holed up in that tunnel with the Ant Lions charging at you from all directions.

Just be glad you get the original voice-over- I've heard the German version and it's horrible. That's why I ordered my version from England.
btw. Dreadnote: you up for some RE5 Co- Op any time soon? I want to play the DLC.

Now that you mention it, I know exactly which one you mean. I think I played that before I knew who he was.

Im playing through with a me1 shepard on hardcore. Hard core sucks at some points but at others it fairly fun. geth pulse rifle ftw.
Also i hear some of the dlc might deal with liara hunting the shadow broker.

The grenade always works.
Either that or warp ammo. that can come in handy when storming the collcter base on hardcore.

Yeah, but I'm not shooting much with the Adept anyway.
How are Miranda's and Jacob's Powers?
Also, I've seen screenshots we're Shephard is doing some sort of two-handed Mass field Kamehameha. What is that power? I've already maxed out Singularity.

Warp Ammo is a great power, especially combined with the Tempest SMG. If you've recruited Morinth then you unlock Dominate, which is like AI Hacking but it only affects organics.

Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward. Whoever cannot take care of himself without that law is both. For a wounded man shall say to his assailant, "If I Die, You are forgiven. If I Live, I will kill you." Such is the Rule of Honor.

I'm not sure if I should even bother with Warp Ammo. Shooting with an Adept is so boring.  My next playthrough will be with an Infiltrator, I'll make sure I'll get the cool ammo powers then. I need more upgrades to decrease the recharge amount for powers. There's only one so far.
