Or you could host the .exes here?
 
 
Again not much good for us console heads but free is free
 
 
I'm loving my death mask at the moment.

I have ME2 on XBOX360...

What this does is credits your Cerberus Network account with the DL, so that when you connect to the CN, the stuff will download.

You undergo spontaneous combustion and are then transported to the deepest, most painful level of Hell whilst your still-burning corpse is eaten by voodoo priests.

can anyone email their Coalesced.ini file to turambar1337 at gmail.com  please?

i was fudging with mine and i broke it :-(

[phatosealpha]

Unfortunately mine is currently edited, to allow all weapons for all classes and to add the neccessary inverse slomo keybinds.

Were you running the fixer for it after modifications?

[Fineus]

How do you edit to allow for all weapons? Could you point me in the direction of a download / script that allows for that? I'm tired of being stuck with pistols for most characters.

EDIT: Wait, sorry, I read that as "characters" not classes. I'm already playing as a soldier. I don't suppose there IS any way to allow my sidekicks to have access to all other weapons - not just the two they usually do - is there?

Turambar, I'm too lazy to load up an email client so here's a direct link to my .INI in a .zip file. I haven't edited it myself - I assume no settings in the game change it either and therefore it should be "original".

You don't get the SMG as a soldier, which honestly having screwed around with it on other classes, is something of a loss when your AR runs out.

fun with vanguards

when the hand cannon and shotgun run out of ammo, I take to charging enemies and beating them, spaced out with short bursts of fire ammo smg fire.

i like to pretend i am a krogan.

Do you shout I AM KROGAN while performing every conceivable combat action?

Actually, I'm pretty sure the companions have a loadout section right next to the player loadout section.


HenchLoadoutInfo=(ClassName=SFXPawn_Grunt,WeaponClasses=(LoadoutWeapons_AssaultRifles,LoadoutWeapons_Shotguns))

There's a line like that for every henchman.

no, i'm not the uberkrogan, just better than most of the other ones.  i absolutely had to take the opportunity to headbutt that one near the beginning of grunt's special quest.  Infiltrator for second playthrough, being all renegade-y and sniping folks all day

Another free DLC pack is available, with cerberus armor and a shotgun.

Well I just finished... and I must say I'm impressed for the most part, although;

Spoiler:

Again, the giant Terminator thing was a bit of a weird choice for a final boss. I'd have been content to fight a Reaper embryo but the human hybrid thing seemed a bit straight. The final shot of the Reapers looking onwards at the galaxy was a nice touch though, although I'm not sure how Shepard and his crew of tiny people can go about repulsing a race of giant machines...

Oh, and in my playthrough, everyone lived

[Polpolion]

All the Sheperd butt kiss is kind of annoying...

Anyway, for me it seems like a real mixed bag.

Spoiler:

I kinda wish there was more of an actual story to this game. The most intense parts of the story, from my perspective, included boarding the collector ship and then having the Normandy boarded. The latter of the two was actually really cool to play through, thought it could've been done better script-wise, and if you didn't have to go through loading screens every two seconds.

Level design is also another weakness, in my opinion. For the most part, they're all really well detailed and reasonable, but occasionally things just stick out as completely stupid. For example, on the mission where you try and recruit Okeer and end up with Grunt, it just seems so much like an artificial, undetailed linear mess. It sticks out from everything else, it's so bad. It'd be less noticeable it you could actually fall off of the ledges, but it just becomes so apparent how linear it is, which I don't like in levels. Also, the Freedom's Progress and Horizon colony maps: What kind of moron designs a town WITH NO ROADS? Sure, you have hover cars, but to have a place where the only way to get from point A to point B on foot involves romping through people's houses is just stupid. Heck, even if they did have roads and more reasonable paths, they weren't noticeable after three playthroughs. (I will admit that Horizon was better with this, at least having some kind of walkway and courtyard) Still, I liked Omega, barring the quarantine zone, and the Citadel levels plenty.

There were plenty of things I loved about the game, but I forgot what they were while writing that. I'll just edit them in as I remember them...

[TrashMan]

Just finished

Spoiler:

The party members and their quests are very nice. Especially liked the Thane and Garrus ones.
Still, characters need more room and development. They are great, but ...limited. They should be a bit more active. DAO did a better job here.

Gameplay is fun, definite improvements in combat, but I wish I could have customized party member armor.

Plot is the weakest part here.
The whole bit with the human-reaper and shoving the existance of reapers under the rug was...meh.
Why use all that human goo if the whole thing was completely metal? Anyone seen anything organic on that thing? I know I didn't. It was also very underwhelming as a boss.
Wanted to see more starships, and the Normandy upgrade thing was over-the-top (taking out the collector ship with 2 shots??? WTF???)

Have beaten the game without loosing anyone.
I did cheat when it comes to prospecting (just edited my save and gave myself the resources....scanning is boooooring).

I was sooo looking for an option to trasmitt ALL the data on the reapers and collector to everyone. I mean..c'mon..how the hell can you NOT have evidence?

[NGTM-1R]

Spoiler:

You gave the Normandy⁺ two miniature versions of Soverign's main guns. It's explicitly stated to offer cruiser-level fire output in a package small enough for fighters; you have two of them. If sustained fire from cruiser weapons could kill Soverign... Plus the Collector ship is clearly not a pure warship based on your forays into it.

If you were to construct a good twin to The Imperial March, it'd probably sound a lot like the Suicide Mission track from the OST. It's remarkably upbeat in tone without losing any of the badass.

[TrashMan]

Spoiler:

Did you look at the size of that collector ship? It was as big as Sovereign, if not bigger, and the Collectors supposedly have advanced technology!

The same collector ship that took out several Turian CRUISERS. The Normandy was just severely OP'ed for it's size.


Also, I hate the forced plot stupidity.
Oh, a conveniently disabled Collector ships. Hmm..something is very strange here. Yes, we all agree it's very strange and suspicious, but lets go explore without taking precautions... - like planting explosives on the warships main gun, or positioning the Normandy so it can open a can of whopass (on the main gun and engines) if the ship starts powering up (it takes a few minutes and it doesn't have kinetic barriers).
the game hit the player with the severe case of stupidity.

I figure it would be pretty senseless to put the parts more vulnerable to weapon fire OUTSIDE of the armor. But yeah, I agree about the last statement.
