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, 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

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).

As I understand, time only "passes" if you complete a mission. Do a mission and complete it (see the Mission Complete Screen) and time will "pass" and you can try talking to your characters again. Some have more to talk about than others (e.g. Mordin) while others don't say very much (e.g. Jacob). Time does not "pass" if you go around probing planets, no matter how many planets you go.

Also, some conversations only proceed once you're pass the certain story points, i.e.

Their conversations also halt when they've given you their loyalty quest, and only continue once you're done with them.

Oops about the spoiler, deleted

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

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.

You might be screwed with legion if you didn't diffuse his (their?) arguement with Tali. It takes either very high paragon or very high Renegade score though. However, I managed it by backing Tali's arguement, then go back to Legion and tell him you lied to Tali. Both become happy

The Jack-Miranda arguement is fairly easy to diffuse, dunno what's the paragon/renegade requirements. I'm predominantly renegade in my playthrough but during their arguement both paragon / renegade options appeared, so I imagine it isn't very high.

Your other members died probably because you picked the wrong member for the jobs. See a few pages back, the best team selection was posted by me and a few others.
