Mass Effect 2

[Lemonhead]

Legion is definitely more of an individual than he's letting on.

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

I love Legion.

On my third playthrough, I think I'm going to see if I can get everyone killed. That'll be fun.

That ending is insane. Especially the bloodbath that takes place on the Normandy during the battle.

On my third playthrough, I think I'm going to see if I can get everyone killed. That'll be fun.

Christ you're banging through it, I've been playing for 15 hours and still haven't collected all the party members.

 

[GyLocke]

I don't get it.

Spoiler

Legion was my technichian, he died closing the door thanks to a headshot, Jack was my barrier, she did well, but Samara was on my team too (I figured: backup) and she didn't make it inside, the bugs took her.

.
Why? They were all loyal to me. Why did they have to die? I feel like a ****** leader.

 

[jacobed]

Spoiler

I had Tali as my tech, anytime a team needed to be led Garrus did that, Samara was my biotic, Jack led the survivors back to the ship, only Miranda wasn't loyal to me, and my teammates were always Thank and Grunt and everybody survived for me.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Do the Rachni play a part in this?

 

[BlackLantern]

Not during my game...I think they are gone for good

When you get to a certain planet an asari will deliver a message from the Rachni queen telling you that they will come and help you when the time is right. I haven't beat the game, so I don't know if they help you later or if it will be something that will pop up in ME3

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Nice.

I just finished my Hardcore Paragon speed-run last night, and my Mass Effect 2 CE got here just now.

I will be playing ME2 by tonight, after I get off of work. Really excited to jump into it.

Ahh cool. I presume that you spared the Queen in the first one then yea? Nice to know that they weren't completely forgotten about.

Yeah, I was pretty much pure Paragon in the save I imported. I was kind of hoping there would be more with that myself. I'm guessing whenever you have the inevitable final battle with the Reapers in the third game a small Rachni army will be at your side to help, or something along those lines, if you saved the queen.

 

[StrainedEyes]

I'll bet there aren't too many things that will be forgotten when all 3 games are said and done.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Sweet.

I'm trying to think of over things that will carry over, haven't played the first one in ages and haven't had the chance to play the new one yet.

 

[Flash Facts]

I just finished my first playthrough. I was pretty disappointed with some aspects but overall it was a great game.

Spoiler

On the subject of Tali and Garrus, while I didnt care much for Garrus in the first game he has really grown on me in this one and I have always liked Tali's character. I think Garrus's new sense of humor is the thing that made me change my stance on him, though he still seems to die pretty often in combat. Tali's shyness and bumbling around my character is adorable.

I fear though that these characters wont return in the final chapter, at least not as squad members or have any major involment. In many interviews Casey Hudson said that a major reason why the love interest from the first game is not recruit-able in the second is because they wanted to guarantee that they would be alive for the third game.

After the amount of development these characters have had it would be a huge dissapointment to not have them for the finale of this story arc.

 

[Benstamania]

Just finished it last night...wow.my finale save clocked in at 60 hrs 41 mins.

Spoiler

Tali became my love interest, I was hoping we'd see her face...but I figured we wouldn't until maybe ME3. I had Legion go through the vents, Garrus as team two leader both times. I had Samara be my biotech and had Jacob escort the team back to the Normandy. The ONLY person I lost was Miranda....I assume because like I said earlier in the thread I told her to back off and let Jack alone when they had their fight, my Paragon wasn't high enough at the time to calm them both down...sucks.

I finished as a Paragon but I started from an imported renegade file. I have this game on a "continue" which is awesome, I'm glad the game doesn't just end. I'm going to have another ME1 speed run as a paragon, import and contine the paragoness because I'd like to see the changes to ME2 with the choices you make. I'll then import the renegade save I used originally and go renegade.

Either way, I have at LEAST 2 more play's with ME2 and one's that are still fresh.

Pretty good deal.

 

[Storm22]

Lovin this game so far, couldn't put it down til the early hours of the morning. One niggle I have is the fact the guns have ammo now instead of the old overheat system.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Yea that's been something I've meant to ask. How does the new ammo thing hold up? Do you have to really ration your ammo or is it in plentiful supply?

Coz I ain't being funny, if you have to ration it that'd really piss me off. Some special ops team in the future should never run out of ammo.

Ammo is in good supply. It's every where during battles.

 

[BlackLantern]

you have to really bust some caps to run out of ammo....in any case, my cousin is playing through as well and

Spoiler

he banged the Yeoman, but you don't get the Paramour acheivement for it and she shows up in your cabin dressed like a stripper

 

[Benstamania]

You never really run out...in my experience whenever I hit zero I always found an ammo cache and it would refill all my weapons...or the enemies would drop enough ammo that it wouldn't matter.

I have NEVER ran out of ammo on every weapon at the same time though, the gun I seemed to hit zero the most with was my sniper riffle, but like I said....I'd either find a few clips dropped or a weapons cache...no big deal.

I'd actually rather have that then over heating...with over heating you seriously couldn't fire for a few seconds which could be annoying. With ammo, you just pop another clip in and they're everywhere.

At least on "Normal/Hard" I don't know, nor do I care to know about the harder then hard difficulties.

 

[Benstamania]

Spoiler

Is there a way to save the Yeoman....or does she always melt? Because...that would suck.

 

[BlackLantern]

I heard there's some funny stuff on Uranus.

Christ you're banging through it, I've been playing for 15 hours and still haven't collected all the party members.

Spoiler

yes,

Spoiler

you have to hit the suicide mission right ASAP

 

[Benstamania]

ASAP....?

Spoiler

How do you make Legion loyal then? I assume that as long as your main party is loyal to you you'll still get the achievement? If that's the case Yeoman can wait....

 

[BlackLantern]

ASAP....?

Spoiler

Spoiler

I did his loyalty mission and right after that was done, you get a message saying the IFF is ready to go and you presented with the option of going right away or waiting....if you want to save the crew, go right away

 

[Benstamania]

Weird, I chose to go right after that....

Spoiler

she still melted, everyone else was saved though...
