is there any reason to keep checking in with the fortune teller lady...,does she offer any other quests through out the game?

The Asari consort?

After the mission that do you for her, you never see her again.

Well when I said, "I checked...", I meant I checked how long I had been on the Citadel........but yeah, as I told you........I never did find that guy again..........but you told me that he would be there after when I returned.

I just beat the game the first time around. Brilliant. The ending was one of the most satisfying and cinematic levels I've ever seen in a video game. 9.9/10

He is.

For me, he was in the same spot as before.

I went back after the first planet mission and before the last mission.

I'm doing Side Missions ahora mismo. I'll touch the main mission after I finish the Side Missions.

Although I had to leave the Side Mission where you're looking for the mans' Brother b/c those big beasts were too hard. I'll come back after I've leveled up. Hopefully they stay the same level.

I'll go back to the Citadel Sooner or later.

I don't like battling in the Vehicle. Not the worms or the Gephs or any other people. It's too much hassle, but then you can't get out on some planets b/c the environment is too hazardous and it might be more disadvantageous to try and battle on foot anyway.

The one thing that pisses me off about the Mission where you're searching for the guys brother is that the base where he's supposedly at has 4 turret type guns outside of it that take a while to take down in the vehicle......not to mention you're using up so much Gel to fix the vehicle damage and then you run out and you turn weapons into Gel and ugh. Too much.

And you can't save doing certain moments. I wanted to save after I took out all of the turrets, but I couldn't so when I lost I had to take them all out again, but I said forget that, I'll come back later. The guys inside were too hard anyway.

By the way..........even though I'm a Biotic.......I can still use other guns besides the Pistol, I just can't train, which I didn't realize until after a while that I could still use them. Do you all feel it's still worth it to use those weapons even though you can train in those weapons or it's better off to keep using the Pistol, in which I can train in?

Everything about that the vehicle sequences are pathetic and disappointing. You cant even raise your turret. What your firing at has to be on level WTF 😠 Samus is right though, the guy should be there.

Sad to hear you don't like the Vehicle stuff, however I have heard a lot good about it too, so it's prolly 50-50 that I will like them.

And now that more people have played through the game, are there any fun minigames like in KotOR, especially any gambling stuff? Like Pazzak.

The opposite happens to me. I can hit just about anything from afar with no problem, but if someone gets too close physics get in the way and no matter how low my crosshair goes, the turret has no room to go any lower. They should fix the design of the Mako in ME2. Upgrades and alternate designs would be cool, too.
What I really want, though, is to be able to visit Earth, instead of the moon, and go outside on one of the petals of the Citadel. Seedy urban environments ftw!

What you said Bard sounds realistic tho, imagine a real life tank, they have trouble aiming any lower then their initial angle, especially when stuff gets too close.

Yeah, the car levels arent the greastest and I had the same problem as you but as you upgrade, somehow those sequences are alot easier. I died a few times earlier in the game but near the end, I never died.

Yeah, close range fighting in the mako is frustrating. I dont have any problem with connecting on targets from afar. It is when they are higher or lower ground. That would have been neat if you could go to Earth.

try clicking the right stick when holding down the left bumper when your in the mako. That might that might help you out some

Exactly. It's the future, tanks should have evolved to the point where at least their machine guns can get up-close targets. Say you're a tank pilot in a futuristic war and a sapper gets too close to your tank to get it with any weaponry. You're buggered! That should be fixed.

Jump out of tank and take care of him manually?

It would also make more sense that a three man ground team would have a vehicle capable of flight. Instead of the mako being a tank of sorts, it should have an aircraft. although, then you would see the bland environments in all their mediocrity. So, maybe thats why they decided to go with a tank. They probably thought that experiencing the dozens of planets that all look alike would be better form a ground perspective. 😉

Indeed, they should have a Transformer tank/aircraft/whatever-pleases.

I am on my first play through...

Spoiler:
I am at the part where I have to go back to the citadel...right before they keep my ship...I know because a friend of mine said that they will lock me down when I get to the citadel after fighting saren the first time.

I am about level 46 or 47....I think I am about 2/3s the way through the main story...I have literally found dozens up dozens of side quests to do my first play through and I hit paragon mastery like 15 to 18 levels ago. (IT was shockingly easy to obtain paragon mastery...at first, it seemed like I would never get paragon mastery but it started to pickup all of a sudden with huge pay outs of like 24 paragon points at a time.) The side quests are the things that give you tons of experience...I am literally rolling over the enemy's now, with no problems...I have waaaay too much equipment and I am constantly having to sell things and turn them into omni jel.

Spoiler:
I have access to the spectre equipment already because I never bought anything because you find everything that you would ever need while playing the game.

I did not get a paragon mastery achievement.....only a 75% completion achievement...that pissed me off....

Very rarely have I had to go back a do a conversation over again for the paragon points....at first, I had a hard time guessing what the paragon answers were for.

Spoiler:
level up your charm asap and level up your renegade if you are going for renegade..asap...to get the most experience out of each conversation.

I can't wait to play the game over again...I started out as a sentinel. I hope that I can get to level 60 the first time through...I think I might be able to do it if I collect all of those minerals...very tedious and frustrating!!!

I haven't had to use any of my biotic abilities to win gun fights because I find the pistols and the occasional cover to the best weapon when fighting...by far...the shotgun is useless, imho...I would really like the sniper rifle...so I guess I will have to play through again on a different level....

Has anyone been able to reach level 60 their first time through or do you have to play it again to get to level 60? Is there some place in the game where you can continue to level up?

Spoiler:
I thought that there was a place to continue to kill enemies on the side quest called geth incursions...but they stop pouring out of the geth ship after you kill so many geth...that sucked because I was really mopping the floor with the geth with my spectre pistol.

I like the game...but I haven't played it in a week because I have been so busy.

Yeah, the minerals gave me fits. I had 2 left in each category except for gasses. One problem I have with the game is that once you finished an side collecting quest, you can still get evidence, or minerals from categories you dont need.

In the end, I got all the sidequests but atleast had 3-4 overhang for each side collecting quest aside from the minerals and gasses. I had atleast 10 gasses.

One question

What happens when you use that

Spoiler:
little trinket and you use it on that massive ball of energy...does it do anything aside from an text message
