I was going to do a let's play series of Mass Effect 2 on the PC, Completed The first one though, Although I had to restart the whole thing because my character fell into a world hole meaning I was just falling out of the map for hours on end without any autosave before hand :S

Really? That has happened?

You should get a save from here (http://www.masseffectsaves.com/) that's similar to your save, or use a save editor (http://www.masseffectsaves.com/tools.php) to make your save.

I should put the links in the OP, actually.

So, Thane is awesome but his loyalty mission bored me to tears; Samara just doesn't interest me, but her loyalty mission was really well done.

But I just ran across the most awesome videogame moment I've witnessed in a long time: Mordin Solus singing Gilbert and Sullivan. Won't link because it might spoil completionists, but it's on youtube if you're interested.

Same thoughts on Thane. He is badass but his loyalty... eh

Yeah, I've seen many people dislike Samara, but I haven't come across anyone who disliked her loyalty. It's the best one IMO. Were you able to choose?

Mordin singing that was simply amazing. His voice actor is probably one of the most skilled in the game.

So many parodies xD

I'm quite good with stealth systems (as a subset of technology)

Played both game loved them though I missed that you can't customize your companions armor in 2 though I like it when my companions' armor are matching mines it feels like a real squad. I was a Vanguard in both games it was pretty fun all that biotic goodness though in ME:2 they nerfed Vanguard which was fine since I still like to go head first and wreak havoc. Anyone platinum'd this game or in the 360 case got all the achievement barring the DLC ones it was pretty easy except going to the hardest difficulty with a Vanguard and finishing it. lol

I still feel stupid for trying to date Tali... with a female Shepard *facepalm* That, in the end, resulted in no relationship in two games, which makes me a sad panda. But my hopes are still up for Part 3, they promised to do something about [i]that[/i].

An enjoyable game series, the best non-Japanese RPG I've ever played (if you don't count Diablo II, which is hardly a RPG and more a Hack'n'Slash), and I'm definitely looking forward to the Number 3. My crew is complete (though I wouldn't be really sad if that... thing Miranda just dropped dead), my decisions sounded good on paper... now let's see what this all amounts to.

Question: Is it worth getting the DLCs? Not only gameplaywise, but are the characters worth it?

Hmm, you already have Zaeed, yes?

Kasumi? I really like her character, her loyalty is very fun too, and she is a good squaddie. At the end of her loyalty, there is a possible important decision. All I'll say is, "Destroy it or not?".

Overlord IS very interesting and a morally impacting decision at the end. Possibly plot related, maybe even post ME3.

Lair of the Shadow Broker is amazing. Get it now. So much character development, great dialogue. If you've romanced Liara in any playthroughs, even better. IMO she is the canonical romance for any shep (Talimancers RAEG) :P

Arrival helps bridging ME2 into ME3, and will make more sense. It's good, interesting, but not 100% necessary.


I'd recommended LOTSB and Arrival, but Kasumi is a fun squadmember with some interesting banter.

Nope, I've not bothered with any of the DLCs yet.

Well then, I'll get those two once I added a little more money to my PayPal Account, thanks for the recommendation :)

IMO, they are well worth it. Especially LotSB.

IMO it's one of the best DLC I ever bought :o[/quote]
I doubt anything can rival "The Secret Armory of General Knoxx" in terms of DLC... but we'll see ;)

Is Overlord worth the money? Got LotSB and Arrival already.

Hmmm I don't know really. I never bought it myself as it was free with the PS3.

You can do without it, I don't think it will have much of an impact on ME3. Maybe an email or two :D

I am now 100% certain that I am stupid.

During my latest playthrough of ME I saved Ashley on Virmire thinking that I saved Kaidan in the other save I was going to use for ME3. Turns out I didn't and is now saddened by that fact.

So now I'm starting a playthrough with Genesis. So for the guys who played on PS3, what minor pre-made choices are made by Genesis? Does Shepard kill the scientist on Virmire? Does he save or kill the colonists on Feron? Such things.

Thanoptis is dead.
Colonists are scarce and moved to Earth, iirc.
Kirrahe is dead.

Thanks. Kirrahe died in my playthrough anyway *tear*

Doesn't seem too bad. Hopefully it'll be okay.

On another note, I got Kasumi today and she's now one of my favorite squaddies <3

Kirrahe only changes one line of dialogue in ME2 anyway. Mordin only references him slightly.

tbh, YouTube fills the role of missing NPC's.

I love Kasumi as well, I hope she has a big part in ME3. :)

It's confirmed that Kirrahe will make a return in ME3. Except if he's dead, of course.

And yea, YouTube is awesome when it comes to that such of things. It allowed me to rewatch Mordin's Gilbert and Sullivan performance over and over again!

Meh, idc much for him tbh.

Hell yes @ Gilbert and Sullivan.

He better have more stuff for us in ME3.
