Mass Effect 1/2

[Tyr]

Waff got it before everyone else and if I recall had about 5 days or more of gaming, very possible to complete ME2 in that time. That said, I'm restarting a few times with various save files since my own was raped but the premade character (not imported) was a neutral psychopath. Really. In case anyone are wondering the choices, here's what he picked:

[spoiler]
Saved Ashlynn, killed Kaidan.
Killed Wrex for no bloody good reason.
Killed council, picked Udina as leader of the new council.
Encouraged Garrus to go renegade (methinks).
[/spoiler]

I don't really see any other obvious choices, they might be there but then I've missed the reference. Anyone bought the xenophilia porn magazine yet?

[Kaden]

I'll be done with it tomorrow. I could finish it tonight, but it's late enough.

Vanguard + Warp Ammo is crazy.

I've been running around trying to buy up all the souvenirs and shit. I was very happy to find a way to keep my fish from dying every time I left the ship.

Also, if anyone knows how to complete the assignment "Found Forged ID" lemme know. I'm stuck trying to decide whether I wasted more time looking around the game for the person I need to find, or looking around the internet for the answer when most people have had the game for less than 24 hours.

How do you keep the fish alive?

[Tyr]

You feed them whenever you get on the ship.

How do you keep the fish alive?

[spoiler]If you'd been flirty with Kelly, eventually she'll ask to spend more time with you. Suggest having dinner and Shepard will invite him up to his cabin for a bite (inorite?) and the next time you talk to her, she'll say she noticed the fish tank and offers to feed the fish for you while you're gone.[/spoiler]

I'm also a fan of the space hamster.

Something else I found interesting:

[spoiler]So, in ME1 I ended up humping Ashley, so when I started this game, at Shepard's desk, there was a picture of her sitting between the personal terminal and the medal of honor. At some point (I think it was after the convo where Miranda said we'd get it on, but not till she had some free time) I walk into Shepard's room and the picture is suddenly turned face down. Nice touch.[/spoiler]

[Waffuru]

yeah fuck the fish then

[Vad]

Just finished the game.

Happy to see New Game+ and when you start a new game with cleared data you start with huge bonus piles of shit and you get a bonus power for loyalty achievements (guessing it doesn't stack with the research that does the same thing).

Waff, after you get the final party member, how close were you to beating the game. I have a feel it's going to be ending shortly. =/

[Waffuru]

yeah, not much main story left

[spoiler]You get Legion when you grab the IFF, then I pretty much only had his loyalty mission left before the ~30 minute final mission via Omega 4 Relay[/spoiler]

[Jesper]

[spoiler]It's weird that you can hook up with Tali. I wasn't aware that it was even possible, considering that she has to wear that suit at all times.

Also, Shepard is a whore.[/spoiler]

[Kaden]

Shepard is a massive whore.

I enjoy being this paragon of virtue that just whores himself out whenever the ship is standing still for 5 minutes.

EDIT: Out of combat, Mordin is easily my favorite character. Afterall, he is the very model of a scientist salarian.

/hate

[Vad]

16 hours 57 minutes with everyone but Samara's quest done. I even farmed resources to get the:

[spoiler] Cain Nuclear Weapon; Shield Upgrades, Cannon Upgrades, and multiple team upgrades. Also took my time to crack every safe I came across.[/spoiler]

I tell you that because I'm notorious for sweeping through just for story.

I took my time this go around the block. =D

[Saz]

Wow. You guys don't mess around when it comes to playing video games.

How long has it been out in the US?

[Vad]

Since the 26th.

[Sage]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-

Apparently I [spoiler]blew up the council[/spoiler] just to see what would happen and the game saved that as my ending. And my copy of ME1 I must have lent out, because I don't know where it is. Gah! So I can't play ME2 until I fix it. XD

[Rafael]

So,is the dragon armor from Dragon Age any good? Just got ME2,but I'm not likely to play it until I get around to sleeping with Ashley and beating the game

[Kaden]

I finished my Vanguard game and started a new one as an Adept on Hardcore. For funsies, I took Slam as my bonus power. I'm seriously considering restarting to take a different bonus power, since I don't really need the added biotic damage. I'll probably take either Reave or AP Ammo.

Vad: of all the loyalty missions to breeze past, Samara's was the wrong choice. Reave is ridiculously awesome.

...

It had to pop a plot line as soon as I went to her storyline. The fucking ship got raped as soon as I clicked on it so I decided to just continue the story.

THE HELL!

[Alura]

Just beat the game. I lost three people. Overall the last mission is so much win.

[Kaden]

The last mission was awesome. I was able to get through it without losing anyone. For those interested, here's what I did:

[spoiler]For the Tech specialist I sent Legion. I imagine Tali would have worked fine. For the first Fire Team leader I picked Garrus. I would have gone with Miranda, but she was one of my "main" squad members, and I wasn't really big on giving her up. For the Biotic Specialist I chose Samara -- I almost went with Jack, since she's supposed to be some kind of ultra-powerful uber biotic, but meh -- and for the second Fire Team leader I chose Miranda -- I chose her for the second leader because I thought Samara would actually be fighting, not just maintaining the bubble. To escort the rescued crew members, I went with Jacob.[/spoiler]

Most of the choices seem obvious if you read the character descriptions, but I spent a few minutes trying to decide whether or not there was some kind of trick that I was missing. "Yeah, I need a tech specialist, but that squad member just seems too perfect..."
