I'm also very curious about how they're going to handle a save-game cross-over from ME1. When I saw the first trailer for Mass Effect 2 with the Shepard: KIA message, I thought maybe they'd decided to throw away their plan to carry through save games. I suppose they might try something like they did in KOTOR 2 where the player will just sorta answer questions from NPCs that fills in the blanks from the past game.

However, I can only imagine how difficult making ME3 will be if they have another cross-over then. The amount of choices by the third game they would have to take into account would be insane.

When you import the save, you will be taken to a menu which shows all the important info about the save, such as your choices and living squadmates.

If you don't import a save, the game will assume the paragon ending

I can't believe i've got to wait another 4 days to get it as UK release is 29th Aaaargh, but it does look amazing esp after seeing the launch trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2O-0-fQOOs I mean that trailer is better than some film trailers out there.

Sweet Jesus...I never played the original game, but that's an utterly fantastic trailer.  And woo, Martin Sheen.

I am so excited to make sweet sweet love to

Garrus!

I was hoping for something more...realistic than yet another "save the universe" plot.
Oh well...looks good, so I will probably play it anyway.

What I've been wondering about quite a while now, is that the poster girl of ME2 isn't Ashley. Above trailer seems to confirm that as the two looks to be different characters.

More like save humanity...

I just received a text message saying my copy of ME2 is being shipped, probably arrives either tomorrow or Thursday. I doubt I'll get any BP development done until I've finished it.

Number of potantial romances is skyrocketing. Bio games are starting to turn into real roamance simulators.

Hm...I'm keeping my eye on Kelly.

Could it be Miranda Lawson?
 
 
And don't make jokes about not finishing BP. . . .

Ashley and Kaidan aren't party members in ME2

When I saw the first trailer for Mass Effect 2 with the Shepard: KIA message,

Shepard is KIA either way. He gets better.

...the first time. You get killed again, that's your problem.

[Pred the Penguin]

Turns out default is paragon ending from ME1 if you don't have any saves.

Ah well, guess that's close enough.

[Colonol Dekker]

Oh no it's not. . . That's miles off what happened. That alien pal of mind died. All that ancient insect race did too. . . I let the bloke die so I could bone Ashley and the council never stood a chance. Also the main bad guy killed himself. . . The first stage anyway.

[SpardaSon21]

Damn it.  I don't want the Paragon ending, I want the Citadel Council killed off by the Geth with humanity riding to the rescue.

That's no good for us XBOXers is it

[StarSlayer]

Do you get to set what arms and armor your team members use?

[pecenipicek]

DO NOT READ IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO HAVE THE GAME EXTREMELY SPOILED.

You have been warned.

Spoiler:

I finished it... I will be short. Advertisements on citadel are hilarious sometimes (Shakespeare's Hamlet, featuring an ALL-ELCOR cast."

Miranda is one of the rare characters i wanted to strangle outright. Apart from "Jack" (aka asshole ***** mcwhinefest), who fortunately died. I did not manage to get Miranda killed.

The 2 engineers are fricking awesome.

Joker is one of the rare characters who get their CMOA's even when Shepard aint near.


I am very pissed off at not seeing how Tali looks under the frickin mask.

The whole game is a lot more statisfying to play than ME1. Soundtrack is also very varied, unlike ME1, which tended to recycle tunes massively...



On the overall, the enviroments are a lot more varied, the mining thing is actually very nicely pulled off, i hate the illusive man and i want to strangle him with his own guts...


And the endgame boss.. the only thing i have to say is that i quite literally had to pause the game once i realised it *WASNT FRICKING DEAD OR THAT ITS A ****ING INFANT REAPER!*

Will post more opinions as more of you fuggers play it through...
