since the first game I've been with 2 blue alien chicks (liara twice) and since my character is a girl she was with garrus too lol. Oh word of advice. telling the council that you don't want to be a spectre again changes A lot. you lose a lot of your choices of things to say and it goes very badly.
Well we were both wrong about the shadow broker, I just got the newest DLC and we were way off. So far its not the best one but you get to kiss Liara again so it isn't all bad lol. I also downloaded the firepower weapons package and these suckers pack a punch. The geth shotgun takes out a husk with one blast most of the time.
I bet the protheans reappear somehow. I want to see them give Edi a body so she can annoy joker even more lol. I'm more careful on the loyalty missions as they tend to do more with who lives and dies than anything. I think tali'll survive and so will the merc, moran I'll be more careful with. I wasn't sure if they were reapers or not because the one ship in front looked like the ship legion takes you to to fight the geth.
Yeah, at first I thought so too. Still a very good point though but I feel its too obvious you know? If anything Mass Effect has always been about surprises and the whole only being in space for 20 something years. There's no way humanity learned so much, the information with the Shadow Broker always seems to deal with alien affairs. And remember what the Volas (Baron) said in the first game at the citadel, the Shadow Broker has been in business for quite sometime. I like the idea with the Reapers too, just like my guess with the Protheans, I still feel the citadel council is behind it but man I'm hoping in MS3 they'll tell us already! Oh wow, I've never done that, I always saved them. I could imagine that being somewhat.. disturbting, yes Play the game over a dozen times and there is still much to do, really eager to get back in the game now :] Yeah I did that too, think the reminiscent moment of seeing Tali again from the first game it just felt right haha.. Oh yeah you loose Moran if you don't save all the Normandy crew members, hence if Kelly dies. That goes for "waiting" to long too. You remember when Joker ask "You want to go save your crew now?". If you ignore that and wait too long Dr. Chakwas will say that when you see her like what took you so long we needed you. If Kelly lives and Dr. Chakwas doesn't say that you are in the clear so far. All plays into if Moran dies so definitely get all your upgrades and your team loyal so you can go right in. I forgot to say you can still have your team loyal if you get pro Renegade but I never done that. I just know the loyalty can go for that too and not only Paragon. If you get stuck with loosing them again let me know, I can tell you what I picked, I got lucky and they all lived first try. I always shoot for pro Paragon and I was constantly talking to my crew and solving problems. When it came to picking who did what I didn't want to loose certain people but I had to make informed decisions. Think about their past and possible "regrets", they tell you a lot about who should do what. Yeah I believe they were Repears on the datapad if you mean the end of the game. I couldn't agree more, that would be really cool and man that is a helluva good suggestion too. I have a feeling Legion will change things for sure in the next game. You know its funny you said that, I'm not sure where I remember hearing it I think it was the first game but a group of scientist disappeared after studying Prothean ruins. They weren't transformed into those husks or anything I just remember they went through a relay I believe the omega 4 relay, to never return. Before they dissapeared they claimed to found rare Prothean artifacts. So I think our hunches are right that there are some still alive and possibly not assimilated into "collectors".
I was thinking the illusive man was the broker, he lets out just enough info on cerberus that looks useful but isn't. What if the shadowbroker is really the Reapers? That would be wild. I fixed the mistake I made with the mercenary you get on Omega, first time through I helped the people trapped on the refinery and his enemy got away. This time I let everyone die so he could get revenge, I have to admit everyone screaming as they burned to death kinda bothered me x.x I let Tali take her friend home instead of letting cerberus have him this time too. the only other person I lost last time was Moran and I have no idea why he died when I let him do everything he wanted. Also I was only half paying attention at the end of the game when joker (it was fun getting to control him) was handing you the datapad and it had pics on it. Were those geth ships or reapers? Be neat that in the next game the geth join the citadel and let Tali's people have their planet back. I'm betting there are still some prothiens someplace that escaped or humans are related to them.
That is crazy lol. Yeah I think you're right, looks like Shepard will have to check in with Dr. Chakwas soon enough. I unfortunately let me friend borrow the game so it looks like I'm going to have to wait to see if you can or not. Yeah, that is definitely a big aspect of it, you still have leeway though, for instance you can still have a strong bond with Garrus if you refuse to let him "take the shot". Anything morally and ethnically just is usually accepted. Yes I have beat the game numerous times, like the first one I played it over 4 times and have a lot of different saves. Only gets tricky on remembering which previous game to continue. Yeah legion is pretty cool, I knew they would put a Geth on the team, all that is missing is a Prothean. So way to avoid my question there lol, so I will give you my theories on who I think "Shadow Broker" is. I've heard Numerous ideas so far, but from playing the first and second game I feel its down to two possible explanations. One is that it's a sentient AI, maybe left over Prothean technology deep within the citadel, that barters within the large networking of the galaxy. I don't feel it has anything to do with humans what so ever because within the mass effect verse we've only been in space for 25 or so years. And Cerberus would of definitely exposed/acted upon all the information to get humanity on top. My last guess, from playing the first on extensively I feel it could be the Citadel Council. But that's a long discussion in itself but you should see why I would guess that.
Nope you can flirt with Kelly as the female shephard and she doesn't say no lol. Kelly seems to be very friendly with everyone on the ship so you might catch something though lol. I think you may be able to go after Tali as a female shephard too but I'm not sure. I finished it once but lost 3 people on the last mission so now I'm trying to strengthen my bond with them. According to the guide if you do things right and don't tick them off at all they'll survive. I have to say my favorite new character is Legion. Have you finished the game yet? It raises more questions than answers for me lol.
Ah okay, yeah I do remember that conversation within the game, thank you for clarifying. I was beginning to think there was a continuity issue or I missed something. So it was another one of Thane's kind, it wasn't Thane's son by chance? I think that is really cool because I was a little disappointed with Captain Anderson role within the second game. I found myself constantly checking in with the Citadel to initiate conversation, especially after a new mission yet he never said anything significant. He sort of does after you bump into Williams on the colony, he says something slightly different. Oh yeah I completely agree, I feel because of the novel adaptation thats why the game's story is so strong. I feel with the right touches and plethora of history added within, it could feel like a mix of Starship Troopers and Star Trek. Hahah, man I never played the female Sheppard, thats hilarious. I keep forgetting you could change your characters gender. Yeah Garrus has to be my favorite character within the game, really happy how he came back, I also like the battle scars he received after you rescue him. There is nothing wrong with that, I feel that way myself. I was talking about this game for hours to my band mates and friends and family. None of which found interests so this is very refreshing for me indeed :] YES!! I couldn't stop laughing, I love the awkward silence at the end of the skit, its hilarious. Well not sure if you can as female Sheppard but you can pursue a romantic relationship with your yeoman Kelly but I'm not sure if she's swapped out for a male yeoman. Definitely let me know. If you haven't already definitely look into how you choose your team for the end, it took me 2 tries but if you think logically on how you split your team up your whole team will survive. Don't want to spoil it if you haven't gotten that far but you'll know what I mean. What? Really, who do you think it could be?
I was wrong, it isn't thane, its another of his kind. It actually gets mentioned in the game as does the reason that the quarians hate cerberus. One warning: shephard isn't in any of the novels. Its actually Captain/ambassador Anderson who gets to be the hero in the books which is a neat change as you get to see him evolve from the first contact war to just before ME 3. I think the novels came out before the game but you have to appreciate that the company is proud enough that they tie in the books and games so well. Garrus is really fun in ME2, my female shephard is always flirting with him and he really gets awkward. The amount of humor is better in this one but then you get hit with something really disturbing/sad to temper it like the story behind Jack or the overlord program. Yes, I am an ME geek. I even have a copy (online) of the art of mass effect book. I eventually want to get the hardbacked me 2 guide. I'll display them with the games and figures. Have you gotten the scientist on the ship to sing gilbert and sullivan yet? Another touch I like is some of the emails that you get on your computer, it makes the universe more real to me. I also think I know who the shadow broker really is.
Thank you for the heads up, I definitely want to check it out now. Yeah you're actually right, looks like they created the illusive man for Martin Sheen. I didn't think he looked too much like him but after knowing it was him I can see the likeness. You have definitely peaked my curiosity with Thane and the Asari now, sounds really awesome, I definitely have to read this. So true, I only remember him from Halo but he is everywhere. YES! I love the incinerator bullets for the machine gun, sounds like you are killing with extreme prejudice there lol.
Actually there is just one graphic novel and 3 normal novels. If you look at the way the Illusive Man moves when he talks and look at him from a distance he looks a bit like a young martin sheen and moves like him. That baldwin's in all sorts of games, I think he's in the halo games too. They definitely get top rate actors whether movie actors the best voice actors. The graphic novel shows that Thane and the asari girl know more than they're letting on about shephard. Also I love the sniper rifle in this game, I just got the one with multiple shots per clip, that and the machine gun lol.
Yeah so did I lol.. Thats why I was trying to give you a heads up, after watching a few videos I was like man I wish I changed classes. I think you can with your imported character. You completely hit the nail on the head Seph, it is! I said the same thing I was like, nah they couldn't get Martin Sheen. They also had Adam Baldwin and Tricia Helfer on the set. There were a ton of others. Now you have me really interested into checking out those graphic novels. Do you happen to know what the first read should be or did they just start this?
Naw I imported my character from the first game. I'm used to the character. I love Seth Greene as Joker, is it me or does the Illusive man sound a lot like Martin Sheen? Also the events in the novels and graphic novel actually have a bearing on the game. The 2nd novel explains why tali's people are ticked at Cerberus.
Awesome, so you just started? Well I won't spoil anything but the game holds a ton of surprises. I agree with you though, they did change around the exp points but that is one of the only things I remember changing. Have you checked out the different "class options" yet? The Sentinel, Adept, and Vanguard are ones I really wish I pursued.
I bought all the freebies they offered off the live store. I just started the game today. I miss some of the stuff like getting exp points for reading stuff and such. it is nice that shephard is more human in this with better interactions like getting drunk with the doctor.
I definitely second all those ideas Seph, sick suggestions! Even after you pursued the "relationship", with Tali you still didn't see her face he looks pretty cool. If they get that far, it does seem they went ahead of themselves with the line but I am pretty interested at picking a few up. You know you hit on a good point there for real. Have you ever seen that TV show "How it's Made" ? I would love to see how these sort of mass market figures get produced. I never understood either how some movie rendition figures get approved, or their "Good Enough Diploma" to go out the door. You and I are definitely stumped on this one.
Yeah. Maybe they bit off more than they can chew. I wish they'd make an alternate Shephard who is female too. A Tali with a removable mask to finally see what she looks like would be cool lol. I hope they do alright by the Asari. Considering I'm sure they had the 3d models on hand there is no excuse as to why they couldn't just use those to machine the figure molds. Kinda always wonder why movie characters look nothing like this when half the time they have scans for doing CGI they can use to mill the molds with.
Yeah I was just about to say, I thought they were to be released this month. You're probably right, I had no idea these Mass Effect figs had such a big market but they again it is a very popular game. Now that I think of it DC Direct is releasing these figures right? I don't ever remember them getting video game licenses before. Venturing into a Neca path possibly?
They were supposed to be out the 15th of sept and I think they're marked as available but out of stock. Ten to one something went wrong at the factories or like with Hasbro they didn't make enough. These companies can't seem to get their crap together some days.
Oh wow, very interesting. Good move indeed, you think they will hold off on their release? Either way I'm sure these guys will be everywhere upon coming out. Or at least I hope..
I was about to preorder the figures on amazon last month until they said it was a 2-5 month wait before they'd ship. They're now all listed as out of stock. I'll wait a while.
So glad there are more fans of Mass Effect out there. Loved the new characters added into the new game. Is anyone thinking of picking some of the DC Direct ME 2 figure line up? Still not sure if I will, the Grunt looks awesome but not sure, have to see it in person. I definitely want a Thane and Garrus.
Please wait...
