Well Flyboy does get stuff 5 hours in advance.

[flyboy424]

Yep, and I'm using that 5 hours to bring joy to all of you here.  The Hammerhead release date has literally just been announced in the past few hours.  It will come with a Firewalker mission pack in late March.

Beat the game last night!  The Mass Effect series is now officially the best games I've ever played.  I said it already about the first one, but now the series proved itself as a whole.  I need number three already!

I kinda screwed up the first time I played the suicide mission, tho.  The whole game I kept reminding myself to upgrade the ship, upgrade the ship, upgrade the ship!  I'd read the spoilers about nasty ship blow-upness and people dying, so I knew I had to get all the upgrades.  So tell me why I went through the O4 relay without upgrading? If you've never done that, lemme tell you guys, it's pretty...grim.  Not fun.  So I obviously reloaded.  And lost Mordin the second time.  That was kinda sad.  "Sorry, Shepard.  Tell them...I held the line."  Who am I kidding, that was really sad!

ME 2 is now my all-time favourite RPG, with ME 1 and Fable II being very close together in second and third (so close, I can't even decide which is which!).  I'm now nearing the end of my 3rd playthrough.  I've done all the main missions and all the loyalty missions, and a couple of N7 missions.  I'm also at level 29 already (thanks to the bonus EXP I got from importing a save) and am more interested in scanning planets for resources to get upgrades (and this is where the guide really comes in handy as I can just go to a system and work out which planets are rich in the resources I need) then doing the missions.  I've also been talking to the characters a lot more and found out some interesting things about them.

Like how Thane met his wife (that is a pretty strange story), and what Legion says the Geth see themselves as doing on the Quarian homeworld (which he also names!).

So far, as I've got and kept everyone's loyalty, I hope that this time to keep everyone alive in the loyalty mission.

I know exactly what you mean. I was on my 3rd play through and I completely forgot to upgrade the ship before going in.

Garrus: KIA

Thane: KIA

Jack: KIA

Then after that I just said whats the point and stopped trying then this happened:

Grunt: KIA

Mordin: KIA

Jacob: KIA

Tali: KIA

Legion: Not Present

Drake will confirm the story...

I would also like to say its my favorite RPG of all time, right beside The Witcher (if you are 18+ you need to try it), Fallout 3 (cmmon, everybody likes it, even if they arent RPG or shooter fans), Dragon Age (American take on the European Witcher formula, that has quite a few suprises)  and of course... ME1.

[Drake Vhett]

Don't forget the crew Talo.

[Dha'ward Krayt]

With out a doubt its my fav RPG. Just the emotional story that gets me all the time. I beat my second playthrough the other day, losing Jack,Thane and Jacob this time. I do get a bit sad when certian people die,like thane i was sad to see go. Jack, not so much or Jacob.

[Talo]

Don't forget the crew Talo.

Ah yes. The entire crew have been listed as KIA as well.

[flyboy424]

Just completed my 3rd playthrough and finally got the achievement for having everyone survive the suicide mission.  I did, however, loose the crew as I spent time upgrading and doing loyalty missions, etc, once I got the Reaper IFF.  It looks like that needs to be one of the last things you do if you want the crew to survive.

[Drake Vhett]

Yea, you have to leave the Reaper IFF mission and Legion's localty mission for last so you have nothing else to do after the crew gets taken.

A new heavy weapon, the Arc projector, has just been released on Cerberus Network.

Looks...useful.

[flyboy424]

I would report on whether or not it is, but at the moment I'm doing a ME1 engineer playthrough (although it definitely is not as fun as in ME2 due to the lack of the combat drone in the first one).  Interestingly, I just found a new connection between both ME games.  I'm in the Human embassy on the Presidium and I decided to talk to Wrex.  I expected him to comment on what he though of all the species mixing together peacefully or something else like that.  Instead, he went "I feel like a snack.  Got any fish in that lake?"

[Mia Ge'tal'mesh]

"I get that question a lot.  The only one more common is Where's the bathroom?"

I finally managed to pick up a copy of Mass Effect myself. Haven't beaten it yet but I still have to say that so far, this is the best RPG I've ever played. I haven't played that many though. The Kotor Games, Fable 2, Fallout 3, Morrowind and Oblivion.
