Wow, so far you guys are like the opposite of the Bioware Forums. All I ever hear over there is suck, suck, suck, suck, suck.
Look out for someone called "SithLordExarKun", thats me there and i LOVE this game.

The people whining there are a bunch of fat and skinny geeks that cant be pleased and the people who love the game are busy playing it.

Moments like that one are priceless to me. That is why I like Bioware's ability to make the player interact with characters. It feels real. You would never expect Mordin to come up with something like that, and if you don't take your time to talk to him and gain his trust you will never see it. Kind of adds a level of interaction to the development...ugh I dunno if I'm expressing myself in a correct manner. Oh well to Mordin's singing! cheers

Spoiler:
Other moments that stand out for me are Garrus's conversation with Shepard about how Turians let out stress before dangerous missions...."I had reach she had flexibility" Awesome. Made me chuckle and go, "Garrus you're the fkn man" Though I liked him since ME1.

Or how about Jacob telling Shepard that if they survive the mission they need to go to a local bar in the citadel and get some drinks.

The list goes on

That is why I believe Bioware is on the right track when it comes to delivering a story. Making interesting characters that grow on you. Sure they ain't perfect, but it is still leaps and bounds beyond the other RPGs when it comes to this. And even the people that don't like reading wall of texts/listening to speeches can just ignore all the development and go straight to the action.

Shame on them though.

Word of advice...do not pursue a romantic relationship with a Ardat-Yakshi

At least she doesn't dump you like Samara does. But still, she is rather...strange to be around with.

Samara wasn't that bad. And what...you rather die than get dumped, really?

I mean Shepard is probably a little puppy to her(as badass as he/she can be)

Spoiler:
Besides she has had 3 daughters who turned "Mind****ing bitches" and was forced to kill 1 of them.

And I think Samara grew to respect Shepard too much to pursue anything. Besides give them time. The Milf just murdered his brother, and is about to go on a suicide mission.

No, I did not say that because I never did pursue a romantic relationship with Morinth. I didn't even know that she can be recruited as a member of the team and I didn't even know what happened to Shepard after the mating process since everything went pitch black. I went to the Mass Effect wiki and looked up Morinth. Turns out Shepard does die and I don't like that one bit. I'm glad I killed her off.

LoL.

Its hillarious.

I bet there will be people who try to **** her only to end up dead. Would be so much funnier if the game was like Demon's soul where the autosave is abundant and you can't just reload files.

Shepard died. Fission mailed. Better luck next game. lolz

By the way if I spoiled it for you I am sorry.

Don't worry. I never had the slightest interest for that ugly Asari.

Question: I heard that after you complete ME2 you can replay the game with the exact same character with all the credits and resouces he had. Is that true?

yes you can, unless you die

What things do you get to keep? (weapons, paragon/renegade points, credits etc.)

If you are talking about gameplay after finishing the suicide mission then everything, you can all your LI up to your room and cuddle.

If you are talking about restarting the game then i dunno.

Shepard only dies if he agrees to take the risk of having sex with her. She doesn't force you to have sex with her or anything and she's actually useful, her area brainwash is incredibly useful and she's not that bad of a character, granted she doesn't look as appealing but oh well she still kicks ass. Personally I think Shepard should've been immune to her powers since he had the option to resist given the certain amount of your P/R meter.

Indeed then they settled it in her private quarters. He had range but she had...flexibility. They really stepped Garrus's game up in this one, he grew up and just started owning everyone. The guy was holding off three merc groups for I don't know how long.

I've been playing some ME1 now (Completed Citadel and Noveria) and wow. The faults of the first game really show. Cover is present, but was never really integrated into the combat properly. Conversations are littered with awkward break points. The Mako feels even worse to control.

Even worse, the framerate was actually slowing down visibly while running through the Citadel. The textures that looked so great 5 years ago are noticeably inferior now, too.

In short, the differences between the two games really are incredible.

Five years ago? The first one came out in 07.

Agree with you, while mass effect was a great game, it lacked polish, had flaws and the combat was clunky.

Thank god you aren't doing the UNC missions.

By the way its unbelievable how some people think ME1 is a better game than me2

Ah, my mistake. The point still stands; the graphics actually look dated.

Hell, geth don't even look segmented. After the detail in Legion, that was a jarring thing to note.

The detail is vastly superior especially with Legion, I don’t really see any point waiting long to get the final installment out. They made part 2 in three years; I wouldn’t be surprised if they made part 3 in two.

Part 3 was made 7 years ago.

Lemme explain what jus happened there: I was going to respond with "they could make it in 1". Then someone else would respond with "nuh uhhh! They could make it in 6 months." Then someone else would say, "It's already DLC on Xbox Live, berches." Then I would say, "nuh uhhh! I already own it and it's been out for 7 years."

So, I skipped all of that and just posted the 7 years thing.

Well they plan on having it finshed by late next year. They have been working on it for a while.
