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

No. Nothing at all.

Anyway....

I beat the game today.

Spoiler:
I started over with my character.

I made it all the way to level 50 and the game wouldn't let me level up anymore...

Spoiler:
I solved all collection side quests...asari writings, minerals and gases, the medals, prothean data discs, and turian insignia's...looking back, I forgot to go to that admiral back on the citadel to tell him I found some dead marines...the screen said to tell the admiral and I never got around to it.

There always needs to be at least one infinite enemy respawning point so that you can max out your character in the game...some gamers will actually spend the 2-4 hours it takes to do that in a single player RPG....(One thing I hate about MMORPGs is it isn't simply a 2-4 hour thing....it is hour after hour after hour to do something like that...sucks.)

The game isn't as fun the second time around as it was the second time around in KOTOR or KOTORII...I didn't even play Jade Empire a second time around...I am still on Eden Prime my second time around.

Spoiler:
it was hard to defeat the mechanical saren at the end...looking back, I would have brought biotics along to keep doing the "lift" to keep him from moving around so much...I brought tali and the turian along and they didn't help very much in the fight. I did make the sex with Ashley...I will make the sex with the Asari this time around and this time around I am going renegade.

You dont like that they dont give you top of the line weapons at the start of the game?

Wouldnt that screw up the game?

You can easily get 2 levels up with weapons.

27 hours until I can play Mass Effect!!!!
Think I gotta read into the classes soon.

That is not what I said...I don't like the fact that you can only get weapons that match your level...you can't just travel somewhere on a side quest and earn an awesome weapon...what RPG can you NOT do that in?

Which RPGs can you do that in?

Also, 18 hours until I can play Mass Effect!!!

Oblivion is the same way? You can only get weapons and items that are on par with your level? That sucks. Whatever happened to finding a wicked bad accessory that you keep the rest of the game like those Quel Droma robes from Kotor or the crystal that you keep with you light saber the whole time in KOTORII?

Oh please God don't tell me it;s like Oblivion in that respect. Oblivion went waaaaaaay beyond staged availability of weapons.

And its not.

I got a couple of shotguns that was a couple of levels after my levels.

It is. Mark X items do not open up until you hit level 50...you cannot get ANY weapons beyond a certain Mark point...at each level.

Spoiler:
the only time you get any wicked bad weapons is when you get the "rich" achievement...and then you can get spectre weaons ONLY if you current level is high enough to have weapons available.

You can play the game through as many times as you want...but you can never find a mark IX or mark X weapon while being a level 10 in the game...that is how they setup the game to work. It runs on a "stepping function"...that is what I didn't like about it.

This game is ****ing awesome.

Spoiler:
The ****ing only occurs if you woo your women of choice. I was rather upset that you couldn't woo both women at the same time like you could in Jade Empire.

Can anyone tell me where i can purchase the Spectre armor? Ive acquired the rich achievement, but can only find Spectre weapons.

which did you go for, and what happened? Im still trying to decide

After I became a Spectre it said something about Spectre training being available.

Is there actually a place on the Citadel that I go to to train or did it just mean the new Spectre Training Stat Bar?

I believe it is referring to the spectre trait in the upgrade screen

Oh ok. Figured.........after I wasted a substantial amount of time searching for the non existent place.

Well Mass Effect has sold over 1 million copies.

It has surpassed expectations.

dont feel bad. I searched for a training facility too 🙁

1 million copies eh. I wonder if that is mostly because of ubisofts track record

I dont think there is any Spectre armour.

Just weapons.
