Ah, shame. I probably wouldn't enjoy them, then; I like watch Shepard act.
I'll probably use them more on my other playthroughs, when I am not going for the full experience that the game presents. Also, my terminus armor fits my Renegade Shepard perfectly, and one more thing to make look alittle more intimidating would work, but for my Paragon Shepard, I am trying to go for the more human character, and wearing the Terminus, Collector, or Blood Dragon armor, with helmets and everything just doesn't work for me.
Fail.

Well its a hard question to answer. On the face of it, it doesn't seem like a groundbraking thing. Its more of less 'aliens invading, stop them'. This isn't the important thing though, its more about how its presented and pulled off thats important. The beginning builds up the story by making the player ask questions and then expands to answer these questions tidbit by tidbit. We're also presented with a clear antagonist who first makes us hate him, then pity him. His actions are perfectly understandable and he gives a great feeling of a man who is just searching for the right thing to do. The game continues in this manner, adding layer upon layer of juicy plot as well as several self-contained subplots that drive the story forward. We're introduced to numerous characters with rich, varied personalities as well as immersed in fantastic dialogue.Basically Mass Effect is a mediocre story told by a Master, which is what Bioware genuinely is.
Originally posted by General KalieroYou can customize armor but you can't customize DLC armor nor can you remove their helmet.In the captain's quarters on the Normandy you can personalize your armor, and choose full helmet, helmet with transparent visor, or no helmet at all.
I don't have the DLC, but maybe that's how to do it?
Personally i would recommend not using DLC armor as you can't remove their helmets as they break the immersion.

I love how everyone distrusts Cerberus.I especially like how you can either do renegade/paragon actions in the middle of convos. Like pushing an unfortunate bastard through a window because he refused to cooperate.
Shepard is still a pimp. Half the crew in the Normandy wants his sexy butt. lol.
buttsecks with Kaiden?

So apparently they've really badly nerfed Biotics in this game by not allowing you to use them on anything with shields, meaning that when you can actually do anything they're about to die anyway. Confirmation? Becuase that would suck.
Biotics damage shields but dont lift them up or anything. except i thing Charge still knocks them back and I'm not sure if singularity works. But its not a big deal because now enemies have three health things. Shields, Armor, then Health. So while the shields go they still arent going down yet

Neb, why do you keep hating on western Rpg's? ME2 isn't a true RPG to begin with...
It's actually and RPG through and through. It doesn't get anymore "RPG" than ME2...it's just a different take on what an RPG game is. I uses a dice-role system for several things...just the same as any other RPG. And, you take the role of a character. Pretty much the only 2 requirements to make something an RPG.
ME2 is what a Role Playing game should be all about.
I seriously love this game and I cannot wait to finish this epic experience with the final installment.
Definitely Game of the Year. Even if I haven't played any of the great games still to come. I just cannot see any of them topping this phenomenal experience.
