Well it's nearly here and from the title it's obvious what i'm looking forward to.
 
I pre ordered it so i'm getting my terminus armour and spanky gun too.
 
Hopefully i'll find my old memory card before it arrives so I can see humanity at the seat of power . . . .
 
 
The collectors seem a bit meek after having to defeat a sentient Sathanas in Mass Effect 1 though. .

Mine is on pre-order as well, getting it someday this week. If it arrives before BP: AoA Director's Cut is released, I'll have a serious dilemma...

[Colonol Dekker]

Oh crap is it THAT close?
 
Omg Omg Omg.
 /me forgets what this topic was originally about. . . .

Ok so i gotta admit i'm a little bit excited about this and just wanted to know what others thoughts, feelings, hopes, fears, dreams (if any) etc are about this. I for one am looking forward to the next chapter in the trilogy. Also just recently replayed the original so that i could finally get my character to lvl 60 to port over to the new game, which i thought was a nice touch, tho not the first time this has been done with a sequel if i'm not mistaken.

Feel free to discuss ppl

lol there was some serious wtf moments going on before i realised what the hell was happening there

[Pred the Penguin]

Gonna wait awhile before buying, should be in stock where I live.

I'm very worried about how your previous saved game will effect the game, since I played 1 on PC and I'm planning on buying 2 for 360.

In fact I might even buy both for 360. o_o

My first post doesn't make sense now because the title changed
 
All I know regarding the mass 1 savegames is that your decisions at the end reflect who's in power between the ambassador and the captain of the normandy and whether the stinky alien council remain.
 
Not to say other things don't change as that purple gas breather engineer bird is back.

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.

It should be interesting to see what Legion is like, going to be weird having a Geth as a member of your party. Which i believe has been comfirmed.

[Colonol Dekker]

I get my own Geth too? Oh joy of joys. . . . This is the best xmas ever!
 
I'm in the uk too btw.

Saving or killing of the Rachni, and the Citidal fan also had some weight, as well as who you romanced.

Luckily, you are essentially free to completely overhaul your character (how he or she looks, what class she or he has). Good thing, because they kinda changed everything.

I am gonna finish ME tonight as a super paragon

then after I beat ME2 with that, SUPER RENEGADE

[SpardaSon21]

For someone who didn't finish the first one, what exactly are the choices you can make, and what are the consequences?

[Locutus of Borg]

Spoiler:

Some of the smaller choices are:

- Whether to appreciate a fan or blow him off. (Doing the latter causes him to get killed in a fight with Turians)
- Killing these insects called the Rachni who were believed to be extinct, or allowing them to go free
- You could begin a romance with a squadmate; Kaiden, (female chars) Ashley, (male chars) and Liara (all chars)

Some of the bigger choices

- You have to sacrifice one of your squadmates on the mission to Vyrmire. Either Kaiden or Ashley.
- You could choose to destroy the Council or not (I think, I haven't finished it in a while)
- You could save Wrex (The big fat guy {Krogan}) or kill him

[SpardaSon21]

I got far enough in the first one to make all those choices except

Spoiler:

the choice about the Council.  What happens if you kill them?  Anyone here who made that choice?

[Colonol Dekker]

Of course i did, are you mental......

Spoiler:

The Geth fleet decimate the Council command ship and the assisting xeno ships in a hail of fire, it breaks apart as the rtightous human fleet tear past it and rip that Sathanas wannabe a new space-hole.
 
You can choose who's instilled by the Human government to lead the new council. Ambassador or that captain that helped you nick the Normandy..

As it should be.......


edit-

Is it just me or is that google ad stuck on advertising Mass Effect 2 when i'm on this topic?

[SpardaSon21]

Ah, Dekker, my fellow proponent of mankind's galactic Manifest Destiny.  Thank you for that.  So what happens if you don't have a completed save of ME1?  Does it just choose a random setup for you, or can you choose what happened prior to the events?

[Colonol Dekker]

Well my copies not arrived yet. . But i'd imagine it has either a concrete canon plot or it'll ask you a series of stupid questions first.
 
In either case it looks like i'm using my old chipped XBOX 360 hard drive as it'll hopefully have some mass 1 saves, as I can't find my old saved memory stick and saved games.
 

[Demitri]

Well from what I've read you can play ME2 as if it were a standalone game with a brand new character. Suppose they'd just fill in the backstory from ME1 in with codex entries

[MR_T3D]

maybe the game starts with a interrogation about shepard's actions from before..?
