Woot, been wondering why you havent drop by in the thread yet, I've also already ordered and paid for the CE  thumbup.gif . Must play the game slow enough until Dragon Age expansion comes out in Mac though  tongue.gif
*
The Awakening is damn expensive leh. I read 15 hours of content only. Then again, the story sounds fun.

I'm having it PosLajued though... no time to go to tsb. Meaning no release day for me sad.gif.

We can wait for the review to come out first this time and decide whether it's worth paying that amount, nothing to rush about  nod.gif . Anyway I'm trying out Airpak this time. Poslaju is charging RM 2 for the CE, I'm staying just in Shah Alam anyway. I checked with TSB already, this is due to the weight limit impose by different postal services, TSB only subsidize the postal fee, so it's not free  nod.gif. I think some of us had a bit of confusion about this last time went we all pre-ordered Dragon Age.
*
I never saw the option to change the shipping wor. I did pay the rm2 though. I want it fast damnit laugh.gif

I stay 10 mins away (but have to cross a highway) but that day really no time to collect. 26th right? My only free day would be 28th and like that might as well have it shipped to me than walk.

Hmm I think I can get Awakening for cheaps with the points from ME2.

Chris Priesley has already confirmed the Cerberus card is coming on both Standard and Collector's. The only ingame extra items the CE comes with are the Collector's Armor and Weapon set. The rest are physical media besides the extra DVD. For fans only I guess.

Suddenly this thread is alive again. I still haven't finished my game for importing yet. Playing this game for the 7th time is getting old.

Still wondering whether should get CE version or not. hmm.gif
*
I also had this dilemma hehe but since I'm a huge fan, I went for CE AND it's also rm10 cheaper than DA's CE.

48 page artbook (shrunk to fit the case)
Issue #1 of Mass Effect : Redemption comic (shrunk to fit the case)
'Limited Edition' Cerberus Network Card
Collector Armor and Weapon set
Bonus dvd with behind the scenes stuff (of the 'Blur' trailer and more)
Steelbook case (case is twice the size of a dvd case)

It's the Collectors' Edition, not the Collector's. Better sleep with your M-23 Katana Shotgun in case they want it back brows.gif

Standard also comes with the Cerberus card. Plus we get Terminus gear which is awesome. I prefer it to the Inferno.

I didn't mind the Mass Effect activation limit. It was like 5 and I didn't need the disc. This reminds me... need to reinstall that back to get into the groove again... after I finish off DA... after I get some time...

Grrr
*
I'm still trying to finish off my saved game. I blame myself for not remembering to back them up the last time. Seriously though, playing ME1 for the 10th time gets really boring.

They should also come up with a bundle.

Like Mass Effect bundle, that comes with Mass Effect 1 and Mass Effect 2.

Good for new players too.
*
I would have loved that if not for the Steam promo sale. But I don't think they would bundle a CE version of ME2 so... meh.

I wonder if soldier class will have anything different on ME2. ME1 soldier class was boring to me.

It seems an Adept can wear armor like a Soldier now. Soldier's only advantage is the slow time thing, high health and lots and lots of guns? I'm still thinking of swapping my Shep to Infiltrator.

i heard that in ME1 solider can use abilities if you unlocked achievements by using the abilities 75 times. yes? no?

the abilities achievement, must be yourself use the abilities, or team mates use also can ar?
*
Mmm betul. Like if I use Sabotage 75 times on my Infiltrator, I can use the ability on my next Soldier. I used that and hacked in AI Hacking for my old Soldier. Too bad about the saved games...

Must be yourself. Unfortunately that means you have to play through as one of each THEN start a new character to use.

I also read that you get bigger import save bonuses if your character is level 60. I don't feel like playing again and it's not possible on one playthrough.

so best is to play

1st run: 100% tech
2nd run: 100% biotics 

then 3rd run:

soldier, can use all 100% tech and biotics?

minimum 3 play throughs, with 1st and 2nd play through 100% tech / bio classes?

aw shat i am vanguard. doh.gif

I think you can only choose one extra ability. So it's either Singularity or Overload or Barrier, etc., no Singularity AND Barrier. But you can always hack the rest in brows.gif I forgot how liao. I want to add 2 abilities to my Shep.

oooh i see okay.

hmmm then which vanguard biotics ability bestest for soldier ah?

or i can forget about replaying with solider and just stick with vanguard lol.
*
The only reason to play Soldier is to unlock assault rifles tongue.gif. But since ME2 has some training system, everyone can use liao. You can change class also in ME2 when you import your save.

ME1 Vanguard I'm not familiar. Throw? I don't know the skill set since I don't like biotic classes. But ME2 Vanguard is so powerful with the Charge teleport thing leh.

haiz now i hv to get rm300.or if anyone planning to sell their mass effect cd to me,pm me yea smile.gif

It's a great game but not like Dragon Age. Personally I love both but Mass Effect is more action-oriented.

I also thought I have to spend rm300... but Mass Effect on Steam is only usd$19.99 and that day they had sale and it was usd$4.99. That was when I grabbed my original copy. BioWare can have my money.

I used my Maybank Debit card to buy wor. I also bought CS:S for my friend.

Me too tongue.gif. I like physical manuals and cases. The CE for ME2 was a no brainer.

If you're a collector I suggest you get a new copy for Mass Effect 1. Why? Because of the limited number of activation you have with the game because of the DRM. Try look back at a few posts before this, they were small  talks about it.
*
I believe the DRM was removed with patch 1.1. After the Spore fiasco.

Lol, really?  tongue.gif . I kind of heard similar things actually but when I saw the others were talking about that issue this evening so I thought I heard wrong  blush.gif. Sorry helldagger for the wrong intel  tongue.gif.

Edit: Nope, the DRM is still there actually but has been relaxed a bit, here's a LINK that I think explains it better.
*
It says activation on up to 5 computers. I wonder, can I use my Mass Effect and install it on a friend's computer? Original copy and all. I wanted to install Dragon Age using my keys too.

owh really? hurm now considering this soft copy version.i dont know how it woks..
owh yea..so how long does it take for u to download mass effect? n do u need to b on9 just to play it through steam?that's troublesome
*
Steam version is 10gb (right?) and it took me 14 hours on 1Mbps speed if I remember correctly. Steam has to be on but it works in offline or online mode.

I had to install Bring Down the Sky and the 1.02 patch myself though.

Actually, yes you can... That's one of the best things about limited activations, you can use multiple copies at the same time (Up to 5 that is)

Nice... too bad it's a Steam copy.

2 weeks to Mass Effect 2!

ok guys, i went to sg wang to buy the hard copy, but got no stock, so im left with soft copy now..however i cant wait for 14 hours just to play ME1, so i bought the *ehem2 version, play it while steam downloading the game n when steam fnish downloading, i will uninstall the pirate version n transfer the save file to the steam version. my question is, will there be any conflict while downloading it since i got the ehem2 version ady?
*
No and the saved game will work also. I used to have the pirated version, now using the Steam version and it works fine.

Remember to install the free Bring Down the Sky and 1.02 patch (don't get Pinnacle Station, waste of time and money) after it's done. BDtS will probably have an impact in ME2 and 1.02 fixes things.

steam automatically updates games for you.  If it's at 100% then you should have the gamefiles for 1.02.

Edit: not sure how steam handles dlc so you'll just have to mess around with the game yourself
*
For me I had to install them myself. I used the retail versions and it worked although I had to reinstall ME once. Remember not to leave traces of the pirated version around especially in the registry. Steam freaked out over that while installing BDtS.
