Tali is interested in Shepard. How do I know? Kelly really defines scuttlebutt.

I wonder which skills should I carry over to Shepard from my squadmates. Samara's reave is pretty good imo against armor.
Whats the difference between fortification and barrier?
*
I haven't got Fortification yet. I took Inferno Grenade from Zaeed and maybe Armor Piercing ammo from Archangel. This Shepard is the screw biotics type. Honestly, it's more do-able without biotics in ME2 than ME1.

I'm almost at IFF. I want to do all the quests first as it's like the point of no return right? I still haven't recruited Thane and Samara and I haven't done some loyalty quests and those little N7 missions.

I also hate Scions and the Praetorians. I need Armor-Piercing ammo.

Hahaha! That picture of fem Shepard and Garrus is priceless. Too bad my character is sticking with Ash. Yeah, I hate all the LIs in this game, except maybe Tali tongue.gif.

I believe Shepard is 4 years older than Ash, 2-3 years younger than Kaidan and 1 year older than Joker.

Thanks smile.gif. I think there are a ton of N7 missions but I'm too lazy to go find them at the moment.

haha let me guess you charge in when there are like more than 2 hostiles around? That is what I did at 1st, learn my lesson and start to stay behind cover more, try to use the shockwave more; it goes through covers and knocks down targets.

sad part about the defense system in ME2 is that you have to bring down their shield, barrier and armor 1st b4 your powers becomes effective. I think it's kinda defeat the purpose of lots of control powers like the pull, by the time your pull becomes effective, you might as well kill them with your conventional weapons.

btw, shot guns are really powerful in this game, only thing is that they are only useful are reallly close range.
*
That part really shakehead.gif I just pop out of cover and kena goreng by the pyro guys. Hiding behind the pillar.

I agree but it's sure fun to send a group of enemies flying with shockwave (courtesy of Jack) then on adrenaline rush and shoot all of them. Adrenaline rush is when that silly Vindicator assault rifle shines.

Grunt with his Claymore heavy shotgun is a beast. He sure likes to move in up close and blast them. Archangel is also good with his sniper rifle. Overall, much better squad AI than ME1.

That Colossus in Haestrom = no sweat by flanking and letting Archangel blast it to hell.

How to get squad mates to talk more? I managed to get Jacob to talk twice (the 'I just want to talk' option) but then he shuts up like a clam and says he's not keen on these big talks. That's it? I already did his loyalty quest. ME1 had more character stuff. Tali is also shutting up when I have a feeling she has more to say.

Should I play mass effect 1 first before playing mass effect 2 or just get mass effect 2.

Seriously? Play ME1 then import your saved games to ME2. It helps to understand what is going on better and you get more quests. I'm still cracking up over all the ME1 characters I meet. Gianna Parasini is pure gold on Illium and so is Shiala ('wait a minute... why are you green?' part was hilarious). I kicked Conrad in the balls for being so damn annoying too shakehead.gif but he made me realize how much nicer the ME2 armors are compared to the ME1 armors.

Thanks for the advice. After all mass effect 1 is much cheaper

Yep, Steam is rm60+, retail is rm119 and last time Steam had sales. I got it for rm17 only. Mass Effect 2 is rm129 or rm209, depends on edition.

How to get more dialogue out of squad mates (henchmen sounds so stupid)? After a while they give me the talk later, busy right now dialogue if I select 'lets talk' or something. It makes me wonder how to initiate the romance subplots (not that I want to, I still think there's more of Ash in ME3). I've done their loyalty quests.

QUOTE(Aggroboy @ Feb 2 2010, 10:11 AM)
Does the ME collector edition comic explain it? Since it is about her blink.gif

Nah, the comic is about her efforts to find Shepard's corpse and how she ended up with the Shadow Broker.

Just finished the game myself. Woohoo... loved it. Now the long wait for ME3 begins...

After trying most of the classes for a few hours, I really love the Sentinel. So powerful... Max out Tech Armor, Warp and Overload, get Assault Rifle as a bonus weapon + Armor Piercing (learn from Garrus), and laugh your way through Veteran. You can clear out entire rooms by yourself... literally. In one part of the final level two of my useless members got stuck somewhere and I had to finish a whole room of collectors by myself. Only after I killed everything that I realized my two members stuck behind pillar  doh.gif

Took 3 times to finish the last level since my members keep dying... finally made it through using the following: -

Of course, you need all your characters to be loyal, or they'll just randomly die anyway. For those who have Mordin dying randomly in the last part (even at fully loyal, he sucks at surviving) either send him as escort (50/50 chance of him dying) or put him in your final boss party (100% survive if he's loyal).

Spoilers about Archangel's identity there tongue.gif. Some people might not know or refuse to know haha.

Who? If it's Miranda, she'll say she'll come by when things get quiet. Then before you hit the Omega 4 relay, she'll sex you up.
Will try Infil in second game through, hopefully it'll be fun.

Just in general because they don't want to talk to me anymore. I remember after every mission in ME1, they have different dialogue. ME2 the dialogue like stops after 2-3 missions.

Anyone else got a kiss from Parasini? tongue.gif I did not see that coming.

Who's Parasini? When and where?

Did you play ME1? If not she won't appear and I think she doesn't appear if you don't do the below.

Basically she's a undercover anti-corruption agent on Noveria in the first game. You can help her and get a turian to give testimony against the administrator of Noveria. In exchange, she gives you her garage pass so you can travel to Peak 15 and track down Liara's mother, Matriarch Benezia who has ties to Saren. At the end of it, she tells you she owes you a beer and drags Anoleis off.

In ME2 she's on Illium.

I've done Jacob's quest then went to fetch Tali, the Migrant Fleet quest and the Normandy quest but he's still stonewalling me. That's why I'm kinda confused. Maybe you're right and he's not talkative tongue.gif.

His loyalty quest popped up after Horizon though.

Ah yes, Horizon's the name.

Yeah, Jacob doesn't talk much. I think after completing his loyalty quest he only talked once more, then it's done and you're his best friend (if you try talking to him he just gives you a fist bump and talks about drinking). I'm thinking he talk more if you're female, heh heh  tongue.gif

Same with our friend Archangel, he doesn't say much either. Characters like Legion and Mordin REALLY talk a lot though. Finish the game and they STILL have new stuff to say.

Pity about Archangel since he's awesome. His quest was a ton of fun. Mordin and me don't get along because of the genophage issue tongue.gif.

I keep jumping at voice actors rather than virtual actors tongue.gif.

So far I've identified :

Simon Templeman (Loghain, Dragon Age) - Admiral Gerrel (or something)
Claudia Black (Morrigan, Dragon Age) - Admiral Xen
Adam Baldwin (Casey, Chuck) - Kal'Reegar

And a bit of similar voices from the first game. Same voice different face

IFF is like endgame. Do more and things get nasty. That said I'm preparing a ton before going on that mission. I don't want my first playthrough to end badly.

Miranda resembles Yvonne, I won't say they look a lot alike.

You want to? I guess don't buy any upgrades and shoot for the IFF and Omega 4 relay straight after you get them.
