I think at the end she will appear but nothing major.

That's Jacob la, not Jack. Jack is the girl with tattoos and an attitude. Yeah, I believe it does affect the ending. I haven't finished the game yet but I'm buying every upgrade I can since I love my crew

Seems like I'll have to keep reloading to see different endings. I do want to kill my Shepard but of course I won't be exporting that to ME3, just to see what happens .

I just rejected Tali and feel bad hehe. After what? 5 missions? my team finally opens up and talks. I hope I can talk to Tali again

Btw, the graphics are seriously awesome on max and the lighting is just wow.











I tried not to include spoilers. The rest are at the screenies thread.

'I am Krogan!!!!' -charges- Wahlaueh. So garang. Somemore his voice actor is Steve Blum aka Wolverine hehe.

Tali? Weak? She was a beast and for me the Migrant Fleet quest was damn fun. Lots of emotional dialogue (Paragon interrupt ftw even though I don't plan to romance Tali), fun killing some flashlight heads again and intense shooting. I'm thankful for squad disrupter ammo.

Added on February 5, 2010, 1:36 pmSometimes I wish people would automatically play ME1 first so BioWare could really tie the two together.

But yes, do try out ME1 first even though ME2 is a totally different experience. Remember to patch it to avoid annoying bugs. The advantages are :

- new quests (some characters don't appear if you don't import an ME1 save)

- continuity (you get a good feeling when you see recurring characters and since it's been 2 years, the changes they went through can shock you)

- better grasp of the story (Joker especially has a line quoting Sovereign from the first game. I don't know if you get it if you don't import but it really brings back memories. Besides, you will understand all the references better)

- much better game overall (the default choices suck ass)

Meh, its ok. Better than the first game, partly because the Renegade dialogue is so much better written. Hell, even Paragon can be Renegade-ish. I'm so tired of Jennifer Hale after playing KotOR twice and she sounds like she overacts a bit too.

Especially if you finished no.1 a few days before no.2. I still get excited whenever I see someone from ME1 and the way people from ME1 greet you and such, it feels so good.

Added on February 5, 2010, 2:29 pmAnyone else using the Revenant light machine gun? Even with accuracy upgrades it can't hit accurately plus it seems the damage is lower than the Vindicator. Maybe I should have taken the Widow

Remember Liara's line? Something about asari commandos. It gave me shudders because that's exactly what Benezia told Shepard on Noveria before the big fight.

Curious... how to have dinner with Kelly? Where's this romance/ hitting on you dialogue from her? Oh does Tali say anything else after she gets rejected? I feel kinda bad.

Ah, sorry for spoiling the Liara bit for you. I thought you finished the game liao.

I think I killed the flirting part by accident, nevermind.

If Ash, Garrus and Liara are anything to go by, 2 years is a long time but there should be a dialogue option that lets her explain her behavior. I heard it's bugged though and sometimes doesn't appear.

Her friend I assume is Feron from the Redemption comics.

Added on February 5, 2010, 10:32 pmI enjoyed Tali's mission a ton. I brought Garrus too but he kept his mouth shut. Still, his sniper rifle works wonders against flashlight heads.

Added on February 5, 2010, 10:34 pmThis is why non-rpg fans enjoy ME2 more. It's more streamlined. Anyway you can crouch in ME1 without cover which I prefer since it makes sniping from high places extremely fun. Ammo in ME1? You mean the specialized ammo. Guns do fine without them. ME1 has more guns too, ME2 has a total of 2 assault rifles, minus the Revenant. I wouldn't mind the Vindicator if it had a mode selector

The storyline is better than ME2's and not really hard. It's just Saren and your efforts to find the *******.

Guys, is it illegal for me to download the preorder bonuses that I can't get? Like Inferno armor, Incisor sniper rifle, etc.

Thanks mate, really helpful . Yeah, it's easy to get the dlc. I guess they learned from Dragon Age. I managed to install two preorder items on that one.

Added on February 6, 2010, 8:05 pmI'm paranoid now. I'm quite attached to my squad, especially those from ME1 like Tali and Joker though he's not a squad member.

I'm not rushing but I have almost 30 hours in. I haven't gotten Thane or Samara but I've gotten most upgrades (that I can afford) including the shielding, armor and weapons for the Normandy and all my squadmates are loyal and Jacob is like Shepard's best friend haha.

Shepard : 'The next Normandy gets a lounge'
Jacob : 'Will be painful to rebuild though (something like that)'
Shepard : 'I can verify that'

Well... 12 hours is really short tbh. Even Mass Effect 1 and it's ultra shortness I did in 29+ hours.

Jack argues with Miranda and Legion goes against Tali. Luckily I had enough Paragon to defuse the situation with Jack. Otherwise

PC Gamer is kinda fail imo. ME2 has not gone below 90 afaik too.

The ones we're not supposed to have or redeem codes? For redeem codes, use the social site's code redemption page. Then it will direct you to a page to download the stuff.

Some anal new system. It's different from DA that lets you download ingame. This one installs the dlc from a separate .exe you have to download.

http://social.bioware.com/redeem/

Go here and make sure the account used is the one you want. Like DA, it's permanent.

Nah, like I said, DA lets you download in game. ME2 wants you to download externally. At least, I haven't found a way to download it ingame

For DA is both, but I don't think ME2 can download ingame.

Actually it's kinda effective as an anti-piracy thing. The pirates will have to crack the dlc. All that extra work for a lousy sniper rifle for example.

I wouldn't mind the Dr.Pepper helmets though. Can we get those here (the codes not the Dr.Pepper)? Dr.Pepper tastes like crap.
