Mass Effect 2 - Page 6

Karrrrrrrrrrrresche · 01-21-2010, 02:57 PM

I think the only think I've heard or seen about Mass Effect 2 so far that actively makes me think it might be bad is that one trailer where the Psychopath chick and the other chick are arguing and Shepard steps in to break the fight up.

It just screams reality TV show, which makes me cringe in revulsion and despair.

this is a normal and healthy responce to reality TV

My biggest hope is they redid inventory system. Was such a pain to ditch items, Say you want to convert the bottom two items to omni-gel, scroll all the way down, remove it, and it puts you right back up top. Worst was when you got new items and your pack was full you had to remove the items you just got, the ones you are most likely want to keep. Whole thing was a mess

Anyone know if there's like a quiz or something on your choices in the first game, if you don't have your saves? I've played through Mass Effect twice, and I was happy with the choices I made but I really don't feel like playing through it again.

But what if I didn't send the character I "loved" off to die when planting that nuke ? Why is there a new love interest?

I am also a little confused about the new krogan. I always kept Wrex alive, save for when I re-loaded an old save to try out killing him .

I was kind of wondering this, myself.

Especially as that it would have been literally impossible for me to kill mah love in about 90% of my playthroughs, as I chose Liara.

It doesn't look like any of the original three possibilities will return as playable characters/crew members, though.

Doesn't she starve to death in that force field or something if you choose to go to her planet last?

They don't return as party members, but they still exist in the game world and you can carry on your romance with them whenever you go to see them. You'll be able to carry all your romances throughout all three games. (Well, you can only do the ME2 ones to ME3 but you know what I mean). New love interests are there in case you, you know, want a new love interest. Or killed your old one. Or never got one.

What's confusing about the new krogan, exactly? Why he's there instead of Wrex? Wrex is too busy rebuilding the entire Krogan species from near extinction to travel along with you on your pro-human saving adventures anymore, is the reason I imagine they have for him not being a party member. He's still there in the game world as the krogan leader and plays a pretty big part in certain missions.

Edit: I think my canon Shep was dating T'soni but I don't remember. I hope they remind me when they talk about whether I did x or y on the import menu or I'm just going to shag Garrus and everybody's going to be hella embarrassed when she walks in.

Apparently, cheating on your love interest will have lasting consequences. Who'd have thought?

Fine by me though, Liara sucks and Ashley's annoying. Probably going to go right after that one attractive girl, the Australian one. Unless she's useless too.

EDIT: Regarding the vehicle, I hear the new Hammerhead is a hovertank. Fine by me, it means I don't have to deal with the Mako's shitty turning anymore.

Mako runs pretty smoothly on the PC anyway. Its innate clunkiness became more pronounced on the 360, I think.

Of course I am skipping many of the side quests in this game, so I haven't had to deal with any mountains.

Also this is my fifth (sixth?) play through of the game and I just learned about its zoom. It took me to the third play through to find the cannon. Who knows what I'll find next!

I managed to get through Noveria and Feros in one sitting, phew, hopefully finish the game tonight and have my weekend consumed by the sequel.

It's kind odd though.. In the previews of the game, I've heard/seen stuff of obviously Tali and Garrus but also possibly of Ashley, Liara, and Wrex, but zero mention of Kaiden. Granted that I never ever used him so I don't care too much, but still.. It almost seemed like he got blown off the face of the Earth or I guess the producers didn't think him important enough to talk about.
