Yeah, I really felt like I was part of an epic story when I was riding my Mako on barren planets.

You know what's epic in Mass Effect 2? Getting unique liquor for Chakwas so you can get crunk and suck on her raisin cunt.

Chakwas is such a GILF

What?!

I got Chakwas her liquor and saved her life! Why didn't I get any action? - I didn't even know it was possible to romance her!

shit

Also my Shepard is pretty boss.; and he doesn't even look that asian - so there, Mandark

Miranda with Warp Level 4 made the final battle stuff a breeze. Of course, I was playing on Normal.

After beating ME1, I told myself I'd play through again as Renegade but never did. This time I won't say I'm going to replay it, but I did enjoy the game immensely. I just don't replay games.

I'm going to replay it once for the Insanity achievement. I think I'll go pure Renegade this time. It seems like there are a lot more Renegade interrupt actions, and they're always a lot more badass than the Paragon ones.

Only problem is, eventually I'd like to have a save file that spans all three Mass Effect games. Since I lost my hard drive from when I originally played ME1, I'll need to play through it again. So I'll have to go Renegade with that file. I also wanted to play a female, but the lack of lesbo options is kinda sad. I'm not gay enough to want to see Jacob with his shirt off.

I really don't see the Asari as being Vulcan-like. Too much emotion and far more conniving than any Vulcan, also there's the whole one-gender thing and the abundance of cross-species mating.

Krogan are definitely cut from the same mold as Klingons, only they're even MORE warlike.

There are a pretty wide range of Asari. I'm not sure they fit the Vulcan mold although Krogan are very much akin to Klingons.

Samara was a bit Vulcan-like with her fanatic devotion to her code above all else. She also had a distinct like of emotions. Not much beyond that though.

Well, there is that [which I had forgotten about], but the Asari mind meld is really only as aspect of their particular brand of sex and not really as a means of sharing information and experiences.

Disposable White Guy banged the entire crew somehow, and still maintained loyalty. I don't know how he did it. I think he even banged that GILF, Doctor Chakwas.

Jack was easy enough. All I did was backhand the bitch and then made a new tattoo on her face with my space spooge. Miranda just needed a little of the Kirk charm, and Talli was all over my red, cracked Renegade penor as soon as I picked her up in the ruins. I never did get Chakwas though. There must be a ~~mod~~ way to combine the poisoned drink in Afterlife with the booze you buy for her. Always remember:

Playa cardu right. Live to talk bout it.

Green Shinobi · « **Reply #1697 on:** February 18, 2010, 07:19:35 AM »

You know, I spent like 20 minutes trying to make my Shepard look more like Jack from Lost, and now that I look at it, the default Shepard looks more like him than mine does. I fail at customizing faces.

Yeti · « **Reply #1698 on:** February 18, 2010, 09:36:54 AM »

I love the paragon/renegade quick time actions, they're so ridiculous.

Renegade: Stab the mechanic in the back with an electric tool!
Paragon:Give Tali a hug when she is upset!

Renegade: Kick a security guard out the window of a skyscraper!
Paragon: Wipe away the tear of a crying mother!

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #1699 on:** February 18, 2010, 09:40:21 AM »

I think every game should have renegade/paragon quick time actions.

But my girl Hale was laying down the smooth lesbian pimp action talk in the first game.

They needed a black man voice option if they wanted to give credence to the smooth p-i-m-p lines.

ugh wtf. i tried my best to have no romantic encounters for ME1. I purposely chose all of the platonic choices with ashley and liara. but i some how still got the romantic ending with ashley. now i have her fucking picture on my desk in ME2. I don't want this bitch. now I have to do ME1 again and try to completely ignore both those bitches. not happy about this.

demi · « **Reply #1714 on:** February 20, 2010, 09:06:59 PM »

You have to pick one regardless, I believe. The wiki:

Choosing Renegade results in the love interest leaving the room; this does not, however, end the romance, which continues on to the next game regardless of the response picked.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #1715 on:** February 20, 2010, 09:16:44 PM »

lame sauce. it ruins the cannon i've created for myself.

i guess the option is to completely ignore the person in question (liara and ashley) in ME1. Literally never speak to her.

BioWare has announced plans to release the Firewalker pack for Mass Effect 2 in late March, introducing the Hammerhead heavy assault vehicle.

The pack will be free to Cerberus Network members, so if you bought the game new then you won't have to pay any extra money. Access for second-handers costs about 10 quid on PC or Xbox 360.

You will get to use the Hammerhead in five new missions. It hovers over the ground at over 120kph and has a guided missile system "ensuring accuracy even during aggressive manoeuvring".

Just finished the game, the suicide mission wasn't all the suicidal, but whatever. I really like what they did with the combat in the game. I don't follow development of games, so it may be common knowledge one way or the other, but there must have been some deeper collaboration with Epic beyond merely using the Unreal engine. Either that, or they really took meticulous notes while playing Gears.

Overall, it's not as good as Dragon Age, I don't really have the unyielding urge to go right back to play another run through the game, but I just may anyway.

Tieno · « **Reply #1736 on:** February 27, 2010, 03:41:27 PM »

Never played an RPG with such good combat. Really enjoy it. Shame they haven't improved on the armor and gun variety, on the contrary.

What is the "point of no return" for the game? My aim this weekend is to play up to that point, do all the sidequests and stuff, and then switch over to FF13 till the next Cerebus Network package comes out (the one with the rover missions). Then do that and go finish the game.

WRONG. The point of no return is when you do the IFF mission. Do everything BEFORE that
