When do I unlock Warp with Vanguard?

Played as Sentinel and it was pretty fun too.

 

[Leatherface]

lol @ ME2 being terrible. cmon guys. It may not be as "RPG" as you like it, but it's certainly no where close to being terrible. :lol

Vanguards do not have access to Warp.

Which, now that I think about it, makes me not understand how TheSeks was spamming Warp...

Yeah, I figured he was mistaken. Maybe he was thinking of Sentinel?

 

[Wallach]

Maybe. Only Adepts and Sentinels have it.

Changing the subject a little, has anyone ever succeded in making a good looking male Sheppard?

There are some gorgeous female faces on the web, but I never encountered a decent looking male Sheppard that wasn't modded.

I personally love this one:

Gorgeous femsheps? Is such a thing possible?

No. I'm afraid not. She's dead, Jim.

 

[dralla]

lol wut? femshep looks like ass compared to male shepard. it's tough to make a good looking femshep, it's crazy how bioware treats her like shit. why not scan a person like they did with male, or even NPCs like miranda. they didn't even giver her unique hair, just NPC hair.

the best femshep I've seen,

 

[heringer]

Well, they are at least better than the male ones, by quite a margin!

Well, a good example. That looks pretty good. Can you find a good looking male Sheppard?

The one I linked looks great too (the hair is modded though).

 

[Jerk]

Pretty much.

Bioware fucking dropped the ball on Femshep. Hard.

 

[AgentOtaku]

Tried so damn hard for a decent femshep with ME1

..it's impossible, it really is.

Default male is permenately tied to the franchise with me at this point.

This is your Shepard!

 

[heringer]

The default one looks ok, but try to make a custom one...

Pretty much.

Bioware fucking dropped the ball on Femshep. Hard.

Even if you don't like the faces, can we agree that at least the voice is better?

 

[astroturfing]

Uncharted sucks compared to Mass Effect, Mass Effect has wayyy better dialogue choice options and better RPG aspects. Plus in Uncharted you can't even leave earth. Lame.

LOL, i love you man! i wanted to say something like this but didn't have the guts but yeah enough about Uncharted, please people, let it go...

here's something i wanted to ask about the game:

how long of a game is this actually? with all the DLC included, can i expect a lengthy 20-30 hour experience at least? i usually take it slow and take in the atmosphere and explore every little nook and cranny..

If you really hit everything including the DLC you can easily get 50+ hours out of it.

Yeah I do too, and I spent about 40 hours mucking about before it was finished - DLC not counted.

I hate the fact that you can't skip all cutscenes/pauze them :/

You could skip them in the 360 version, no reason you can't in the PS3 version. Maybe something with the demo.

Edit: Hmm, now that I think about it, maybe some of the cutscenes can't be skipped.. I'm not sure anymore..

 

[Luthos]

I've made custom Sheperds, but my first run through for ME2 was the continuation of my default Sheperd Soldier. He just fits the part as the main character.

I change it up on following play throughs.

 

[Fimbulvetr]

Even if you don't like the faces

Or the hair.

Her hair looks like it hasn't been washed in months.

 

[heringer]

Well, yeah, the hair is shitty, I'll give you guys that. :lol

 

[Nappuccino]

Her hair looks like it hasn't been washed in months.

Well... its not like we get to watch her take a shower*. For all we know she doesn't.

*Assumption based on ME1.

 

[Y2Kev]

I can't believe anyone likes that shepard. GET A CUT AND COLOR ASAP

YOU GOT A SPIDER ON YA HEAD

 

[Fimbulvetr]

Well, yeah, the hair is shitty, I'll give you guys that. :lol

Also unemotive faces. But that's kinda outside character creation.

 

[IoCaster]

Nah...good male Sheps are easy.

Decent FemSheps are tough to create. The hair styles especially just plain suck.

There was never a question.

 

[Kurtofan]

French Maleshep is better anyway

 

[Feorax]

Game runs a lot better than I was expecting from a 360 to PS3 port, but I'm dissapointed they used Mordins recruitment mission for the demo. That whole area I've always found quite boring.

I dont see why they didn't just use the section that would have been immediately following the first half of the demo.

 

[mysticwhip]

I'm starting to like the demo, . I made a sexy femshep. Does the full game have towns & open environments to explore? vehicles?

They probably wanted to mix it up a bit and give the player something other than Mechs to shoot at. Not to mention that you get your first look at the Collectors on the FP mission and them not wanting to spoil too much in the demo.

AWESOME. that means probably like 80-100 hours for me since i really am slow. ohh man i'm getting so pumped for this.

i just love big meaty experiences like this.. i'm so afraid they are becoming less and less common with all the shallow and completely linear 4-8 hour games selling the most

 

[Loudninja]

Man I really like the demo the combat is fun the graphics are good and I like how they did the conversations. I only wish you could adjust the camera somewhat.

I hate that the reticule is always on screen. It should only appear when I'm aiming.

 

[IoCaster]

Unless you mean during combat, once you holster your piece and outside of conversations/cutscenes you can swing the camara any which way you want.

 

[StuBurns]

I don't think it's there when you have your weapon holstered.

 

[IoCaster]

I hate that the reticule is always on screen. It should only appear when I'm aiming.

If there's nothing to aim/shoot at you can simply holster the gun.

 

[heringer]

Press select.

I know the camera feels stiff you know?Its a little too close to him as well.

 

[harriet the spy]

all the femshep defense force on neogaf is making me want to get this game on ps3 and play it again. But I am attached to my Omar Shepard as well (I didn't think the male VA was that bad really). What to do, what to do.

 

[mysticwhip]

Press select.

Select removes the reticule?

 

[StuBurns]

Select removes the reticule?

Select puts your weapon away at times, and removes the reticule.

 

[heringer]

Select removes the reticule?

Kinda. It holster your weapon.

 

[mysticwhip]

Kinda. It holster your weapon.

Ah, thanks.

 

[IoCaster]

Yeah, it's a bit tight for me as well, but unless you're playing and tweaking the PC version there's not much to be done about it. On the plus side, once you're rolling along after a few missions and getting into the flow of the game you get used to it. *shrug*

Yeah I gotten use to it already

 

[Ploid 3.0]

I thought my black fem shepards looked hawt. I didn't save the numbers for later use because it seemed easy enough for me to recreate them. Maybe it's the light skinned ones (not all the way black but brown). I don't make too many white people when I can choose.

 

[Karak]

I've played the game on both X360 and PC multiple times, but this thread prompted me to download and play the PS3 demo. From what I've played it seems like a competent port aside from a few graphical glitches here and there.

I did that as well. It is a good port. Doesn't perform better, has issues that the 360 doesn't and has a couple things the 360 version doesn't. For those who haven't played 2 its going to be a fun ride. Far more enjoyable if they play #1 than play a fucking comic book but that's basically as good as could be done I guess.

The shadow weirdness and random GFX issues do bother me though. I can't really figure out why something gets released with that kind of thing.

I don't think you're going to be disappointed. The only beef I have with ME2 really is that it has a bad case of middle-of-trilogy-itis in terms of where it goes with the overall plot of the "Shepard saga". That said, they do quite a bit in terms of further fleshing out the universe and I really feel like going into ME3 they have the opportunity to make a truly fucking amazing game to finish it out.
