Not a Mass Effect fan, but that green dude on the left looks cool.

I just started playing Mass Effect 1.  Pretty good so far, but do you EVER get enough money to buy some of the cool shit?

Yes.

By end game you'll be loaded. You'll have like 1 million bucks and nothing to spend it all on.

Don't even bother trying to buy weapons and armor. You'll find TONS of it just scattered around in crates and stuff.

Also, maybe I'm doing something wrong (I've only just gotten to the point where I'm about to leave the Citadel) but can you actually SELL any of your excess crap or do I have no option but to convert it to omnigel?

You can sell your useless crap.

btw are you playing on pc or 360? GL on selling shit on 360 version. One time I was selling all my crap at end game, and it took me about 20 minutes to sell it all. The inventory system is that bad.

Yes, I'm on the tree sitty.  Yes, the inventory system is craptacular.  Game is still pretty awesome regardless.

Where do I sell shit?  Can I do it at any vendor?  If so, frickin HOW.

Hmmm, I don't remember man, it's been ages. Try the citadel shop general shop.

Glad yer enjoying it. It's a REALLY great game, but it's flawed up the ass. But it's a testament of the game's quality that it's still great despite everything wrong with it.

Best Bioware game since BG2.

You should be able to sell to any vendor, and there is some requisitions dude in your hangar you can buy and sell crap to as well. I really didn't bother with all the bonus shit you can add to your weapons and armor, you picked up millions of that crap and it was all pretty much useless.

citadel map that I'm using.

Just go to the requisitions officer in C-sec to buy stuff.  It's 90 degrees right or left after you fast-travel there.  Also, you can go to the bottom level of your ship and standing between Garrus and Tali is the equipment officer that you can also buy/sell shit with.  There's also a few other merchants around the citadel wards and on every quest world.  In order to buy a piece of loot, you need the license from the company that makes it so buy those whenever you get a chance (they're cheap).

The only gun that you'll ever NEED to buy is the spectre assault rifle though.  It's a few hundred thousand credits but you'll reach the 10 million credit cap like 2/3 through the game anyways.  Then you'll have to worry about the 150 item cap.

Experiment with the add-ons, some of them are really useful but most aren't.

What's the point of the sequel if the characters don't return?

Bioware can stick this mofo up their asses, bunch of fucking liars.

I feel like Opa must have felt when he couldn't conquer TEH METAL PIPE in MGS.  When you're talking to a vendor apparently you just have to... press over on the control stick to switch to your sell stuff.  :(

Game is fuck awesome, I decided to start over because my infiltrator was kind of a pussy and there are plenty of other early characters (Kaidan and Tali) to open shit up.  Made a vanguard which is pretty awesome- WHAM! with a push and then pew pew pew you to death with mah trusty pistol.

I have to say that over all I prefer the KOTOR style of combat where you can pause and then STACK everybody's actions over multiple turns.  While this is fun it's basically just "use a power to set the tone, then pew pew pew you to death".  At least so far.

biotic is offensive stuff and tech is defensive, if you have people with both abilities (I liked garrus and wrex) nothing can really screw you too bad.

I hated it at first, but a second replay made me love it. I wouldn't trade it for the world.
