If you don't use cover and just walk into enemies you are dead within few seconds.Fights can be long,there are tons of enemies attacking you this time.

Interesting. Thx.

Also since locations are huge,you will often fight enemies from two,three sides,sometimes even all four.

Cool.

I still was sort of skeptical of all the improved combat talk until I'm able to actually give it a go. Bioware's history is that they struggle with anything related to action so I was really hoping to see them reverse this trend in a game I wanted to like.

My next question will probably need you to advance further but I wanted to ask after you take on some side missions if they have the same repeating location designs as in the first game.

Maxy... how is the pop-in

Also, how is the loading. No more elevators?

maxy · « **Reply #546 on:** January 21, 2010, 08:58:48 PM »

Zero pop-in,quick loading
Elevators are there,but you only chose desired deck,game goes into outside grid-like view,loading is quick.

loading is okay but it can seem kinda frequent though (unless your talking PC version).

Let's guess it based on BioWare tradition

KOTOR - you are the virran
Jade Empire - master is the virran
Mass Erect - the ship is the virran
Dragon Age - virrans everywhere
Mass Erect 2 - you are the virran again

Captain Helix...

That's lame that there isn't any lesbian sex this time around. This means no sex for my Shepard.

EDIT: Not that I only want to have lesbian sex, it's just, I made up my Shepard to be kind of a send-off to Ripley, who always came off as a lesbian to me. Unless one of the Alien movies has a sex scene with her in it (I've only seen the first two).

I agree with this. The fact that they let you bone anything you want if you're a chick in ME, but no gay sex for male Shepard is bullshit. I'm not even gay and that disappoints me.

just saw it. it does happen, but you can't see her face due to the camera angles.

not sure if shepard being a geth makes sense, if that spoiler is true or not. legion explains that "geth" are programs, not the robot bodies that contain them. they share information between themselves, and only stop this process through mutual disagreement. the geth that worked for the reapers are "heretics," since "true" geth believe in self-determination of all sentient life. shepard might be cybernetic, but he's not a true "geth" in any sense.
