Can't wait. Bought mass effect again, this time from the marketplace.
It was deeper than that. The Cerberus and Sole Survivor side missions had at least 4 different outcomes and Noveria's hangar had multiple ways of being opened as well. There's more to it than just straight renegade or straight paragon. Leading like a good Samaritan and finishing like an asshole or vice versa opens up all kinds of shit.Suairyu said:

Yep. On my completely evil playthrough, I found that choosing the Renegade option oftentimes wasn't the most evil option. Sometimes you intimidate people into putting away their weapons and such, when you can just choose to blow them away by choosing a supposedly neutral option.
And on Noveria, if you play it right, you can get both the administrator and his assistant killed. That was the most fun way to do it :lol

I know what you mean. It's amazing. I'm getting close to the end of Lost Odyssey and I've beaten ME1 once already, and I just popped it in to mess around with my characters and do a couple of things I didn't the first time around and I'm already almost at the end of my 2nd playthrough, putting my LO progress on indefinite hiatus :lol

It's pretty tricky, you won't get it by just selecting all of the Renegade answers or trying to do it the fastest way. You have to kind of think it through, and try talking to everyone involved before actually choosing what to do.
It's definitely worth it though, to see the outcome :lol

Somehow Mass Effect is still one of my favourite games this gen. I say somehow because I'm a huge bitch when it comes to performance issues... and ME was full of them.
Psychotext said:
I know what you mean. I can't stand games that drop below 30 FPS, and ME did it all the time. (hell in combat it drops below 10 most of the time) That and the horrible texture pop-in that completely ruined some cutscenes and marred most others.
I'm willing to excuse it only because the game is so incredibly awesome, particularly the last 5 hours or so of the story. Best climax and ending of any game.

Oh really? I must admit I didn't know. I'm on a third playthrough (just got the PC version) and I'll experiment a bit more.DY_nasty said:
My comment about the points still stands - even if some outcomes allow for more blurring of the sides, that is a game mechanic that spells out a pure juxtaposition, even if some cases allow for more moral exploration. A good example is the first thing you - responding to Joker's whining about Nihlus. In the first time through I told Joker to shut up, because that was in my mind the good thing to do. Certainly not friendly, but good for military standing. When it awarded me points on a morality slider going in the opposite way of my interpretation I was disappointed and spent most of the game anticipating having to hit the same direction on the conversation wheel.
Exactly what I was talking about. I could spin around 3 times, go into a small room, and clear every hopper, juggernaut, and shock trooper out in one shot with that mod. HErounds + Rail Extenion x2 = supremacy. Add in the fact that you can blow the shields off of anything too? FUUUUAsmodai said:You try high explosive rounds in it? It wipes out anything within a 10 foot radius with those?
Watch a early E3 trailer of the game, alot of the features that were shown there such as the conversation system, squad control etc. Didn't appear in the final game at all. Plus the promises of hundreds of planets being explorable laff, the choices part of the game was over-hyped too.elrechazao said:
Anyway i'm really excited for mass effect 2 despite being disappointed with ME all i want is two things 1 - longer length like 25-30 hours for a story playthrough 2 - well-designed side-planets or bigger story planets filled with side-quests that on-par with KOTOR.

Soldier has the shotgun and AR which can be useful, but on higher difficulties sabotage and the like are better for killing the weapons of more powerful enemies.
Though since both soldier and infiltrator/commando have perma-immunity, they can't really die unless you're very unlucky.

I'm hoping that there's a questionaire at the beginning of the game asking us what our choices were in the first mass effect. I played and completed the 360 version of ME, but am looking to get the sequel on PC. As far as i know they've only talked about save files being used to transfer the options taken in the first game.
