Andromus Guild Master Posts : 5540 Joined: 6 NOV 2002 Status : Offline	*Originally Posted By Fnord (29 JAN 2010 11:57am)* I remember what a pain it was to use that darn thing in the first game (and also how horrible it was to be forced to use that against the last boss, because all other weapons had overheated, and refused to go cool down (bug in the PC version)). Ouch, that's a nasty bug. I waited awhile to get the game, and had the benefit of a fully patched copy. The fight was pretty easy then. But I can't imagine beating him at all while being stuck using a sniper rifle, not with the way he moved.

Both exist. I'm not sure who improves the scanner, but doubled probe capacity can be researched after speaking with the assassin. Thanks, JKing. You are right, Thanos gave me the probe capacity upgrade, and the improved scanner became available after I helped Miranda save her sister, though I can't be certain that is the actual trigger.

Guess I was right after all. As a side-note, someone (Tali?) also provides a fuel upgrade, not that I've needed it so far. You can't kill someone in a studio.

Done all of the Omega station and then went to the Citadel. Bought some fish and a neat "Space Hamster". The shooting has certainly improved and the storytelling (Oh Man Miranda is Sarah from "Chuck" [smiley=love.gif] [smiley=love.gif]) is great. Loving it so far.

EA's help is no help and everyone else with my GPF problem at launch can't find a solution. I ran EA's utility to test compatibility and I passed with flying colors, of course. The patch did nothing for this problem. I don't mean to turn this into tech discussion, but a glimpse at was DOES run this game might give me a hint[/s]. I think I solved it. Although I think there's still a conflict with possibly alg.exe or my sound acceleration, I noticed in the config that my display resolution was correct at 1920 x 1080 but it said 4:3 instead of widescreen 16:9. No wonder my screen was going wacky. I hope that's it. Both games start up now and I"ve begun playing ME 1. Man, it's complicated. _________________ Exercise your vision.

Mr Innocent. Journeyman Posts : 1317 Joined: 15 JAN 2008 Location: GR Status : Offline	I hooked up with Liara back in ME1, but the game acted as if my imported character chose whatshername (the human woman) instead. Sometimes Shepard climbs tables and crates where it is nearly impossible to get down from. I found that ordering one of my teammates to stand next to the edge allowed me to step on their heads and then back on the floor : . *Originally Posted By JKing (1 FEB 2010 4:27am)* *Originally Posted By Andromus (1 FEB 2010 12:38am)* I had taken the Paragon route with him back in Mass Effect 1, but he acted like I took the Renegade path when I met up with him now.

That happened to me only once up till now, on the mission to find out what happened to Jacob's father. Good thing the game autosaves more or less after every major fight while on a mission.

Yup, that fish feeding option isn't just there for fun apparently. Well, I still have my space hamster, and that's what really counts.

Andromus Guild Master Posts : 5540 Joined: 6 NOV 2002 Status : Offline	Just finished up today, and I saved my entire team also. I think Bioware overhyped the whole "impossible suicide mission" aspect. Yes, I can see plenty of places where something could go fatally wrong, but only if the player didn't take time to prepare or isn't paying attention to the nudges given out by the game.

Halcyon Schattenjger Posts : 1653 Joined: 17 NOV 2006 Status : Offline	Actually my problem was part my fault. The game defaulted to 4:3, when my monitor is 16:9 and this was enough to mess things up when I tired to launch. Both games load and run fine, now. They just aren't for me. I was under the mistaken impression that these were more RPG (similar to Fallout) than they are. Both games are new, loaded once. I've had no nibbles here, so off to eBay I go. _________________ Exercise your vision.

Inesrocks Private Detective Posts : 682 Joined: 16 OCT 2008 Location: PT Status : Offline	Loving it so far. Combat seems simplified... good for me. Story sure has pace and rhythm, i'm getting pretty hooked right now. Characters so far seem very strong-like. Voice-overs are excellent, seem like from a movie. I can't wait to see Kaidan again lol. They seem to have upgraded a lot of features, the whole game seems better yet also easier in some ways. But I still have a lot to figure out. Yet im having some graphic problems: the characters seem to have no eyes (really). all you see are dark spots. wonder why that is...

jedicri Space Cadet Posts : 111 Joined: 13 MAR 2005 Status : Online	I'm taking a second turn with Mass Effect 2 but this time on the PC. I had 3 of my crew members die on the suicide mission so it seems I didn't make the right decisions when I was levelling them up as well as upgrades to weapons and armours. I enjoyed every aspect of the game save the scanning planets for minerals and elements --- big turn off for me so I downloaded a trainer. Now I can concentrate more on the story and mission at hand.

Fnord Schattenjger Posts : 2758 Joined: 15 SEP 2008 Location: SE, Stockholm Status : Offline	Mass effect 2 was indeed a big step forward for the series. Most of the annoying things from ME1 were removed (Bioware really do listen to their fans!), and the entire game moved forward at a good pace. Never was there any downtime, and all the missions made sense, and were relevant (unlike a lot of the sidequests in ME1). The setting is also one of the best original settings I have seen in quite some time, again this seem to be something that bioware is quite good at. The only real downside with ME2 was that it was short for a CRPG. I want ME3, darn it! Scanning planets was also rather boring, but it sure beats driving around in ME1. Hopefully they find some interesting way of doing it in ME3 (I would imagine that a more indirect way of getting minerals would work, like financing mining operations, mining contracts, or help miners/companies (trough sidequests) in order to get resources) Current Let's Play: Crusader: No Remorse
