MASS EFFECT TWO: GIVE GARRUS A HUG

[CABAL49]

If you order him to stay put he will. Same with the other team members.

[Marc v4.0]

See, the problem is, I don't have to micromanage my other team members constantly to make sure they're behind cover and not being morons, only Garrus.

Only Garrus

WHELP PICTURE IS DOWN THAT'S GREAT



Edit: I think THIS sums up my feelings for Garrus.

[Arcanum]

I don't understand how it takes so many of you so long to beat this game. I beat it in 27-30 hours (I forget the exact number) and I did every loyalty mission, every N7 mission, every side quest I could find, got every upgrade except for 4 of them (two tech damage, a sniper damage, and an assault rifle damage) and explored 100% of the galaxy.

Character-wise, Thane is my favorite, with Mordin coming in a close second. Legion and Grunt were pretty neat too. Gameplay-wise, Mordin is my #1 best pal, followed by Legion then Grunt.

I also don't understand where all the Garrus love is coming from other than that he was in the first ME. Legion is by far the better sniper (woo Material Rifle), and so long as you or your other party member can deal with organics, Legion will fare better against synthetics than Garrus could ever dream for. Also thanks to Legion's shield buff, he doesn't die nearly as often.

I tried playing a bit on Insanity, and damn is that shit hard. The Vanguard feels completely useless at this point, since everyone either has shields or armor. My biotics won't work until their protection is gone, and I can't get in close enough to use my shotgun because I'll die after being exposed for more than 3 seconds, even while using Barrier/ Geth Shields. This also renders Charge completely useless.

So I decided to play through again as a Renegade Infiltrator (my first playthrough was Paragon), with hopes that he will fare better on Insanity once I get him to level 30. so far the infiltrator is pretty damn fun too. Cloaking is nice (gotta love massive damage bonuses + headshots), and incinerate is my bestest friend. I also gave him Reave right off the bat (thanks to achievements) to help deal with organics and shields. So far it's been working pretty well.

So having trouble replaying because it keeps freezing in the loading screen after the Lazarus Project cutscene. This is very annoying. It's also apparently pretty common. Goddamnit Bioware.


Also funniest thing in the game, Mordin singing Gilbert and Sullivan.

" Oh I am the very model of the modern scientist Salarian."

SO I FINALLY STARTED MY GAME AFTER RAGEQUITTING DARK VOID BECAUSE IT SUCKS HORRIBLY

MASS EFFECT 2 RULES AND I'M REALLY GLAD BIOWARE DECIDED THAT IT SHOULD BE A THIRD PERSON SHOOTER INSTEAD OF A WESTERN RPG BECAUSE HOLY SHIT WAS IT REALLY INDECISIVE IN THE LAST GAME, THAT INVENTORY AND UPGRADING WAS CRAP, IT WAS THE REASON I DIDN'T WANT TO PLAY IT MORE THAN ONCE AND A HALF PLUS THE CLASSES WERE COMPLETELY IDENTICAL PLUS OR MINUS GUNS AND A FEW POWERS

THEY BASICALLY REPLACED THE NONEXISTENT INVENTORY BY COMPLETELY REMOVING THE INVENTORY WHICH IS A PRETTY GREAT UPGRADE IF YOU ASK ME

ALSO GOD MIRANDA'S A BITCH BUT I WANNA SEE HOW YOU GET TO DO THE HORIZONTAL MAMBO WITH HER CAUSE I'MMA TOTALLY CHEAT ON ASHLEY

EDIT: HI ILLUSIVE MAN, I'M NOT SURE IF YOU'RE WILLEM DAFOE OR MARTIN SHEEN BUT YOU CAN GO TO HELL ANYWAY

[Melfice]

Is it just me, or does Zaeed kinda look like old-James Caan?
I mean, his face isn't as full as Caan, but other than that...

I like what they did with the entrance mini-game. Instead of Simon says, at least now it's a somewhat appropriate action. Still way to easy, but appropriate.

[Osterbaum]

FUCK GUESS WHAT, I WAS JUST AT THE VERY END IN ME2 WHEN MY FUCKING HARDDRIVE DIED THE SECOND FUCKING TIME INSIDE LIKE 6 MONTHS! SO YEAH, FUCK THAT SHIT CAUSE NOW I HAVE TO PLAY THROUGH ME1 AGAIN ASWELL. FUCK I AM SO FUCKING PISSED RIGHT NOW.

PS.
GOT TO LOVE GARRUS THOUGH. MY CHARACTER IS MALE BUT GARRUS IS MY BESTEST FRIEND IN THE WHOLE WORLD AND HE'S THE ONE TO GET YOU THROUGH THE END GAME LIKE TOTALLY.

Did you sprint EVERYWHERE and skip through every single conversation or something?

Edit: Actually looking at times for my play throughs... did you skip a lot of stuff in the first mass effect and/or use a default character? Because I did on my current character and am at about 24 hours and all I have left to do is a few more loyalty missions, the Krogan system, and some shopping to have done all the shit you have done, while I did almost none of that on my last character but was stopped a lot by old quest lines that popped up, particularly on Ilium.

Liara's mission also ate up a lot of time for me last time that wasn't used this time because I knew where all that shit was.

She's not much of a bitch really.

I mean, in the first fifteen minutes of the game or whatever when she quizzes you and what not she is, but if you go talk to her on the ship she's pretty level headed and calm. Doesn't bitch you out about anything, either. Mostly she comes off as pretty affable, really, if slightly cold.
