^ I think everyone did that. But to be honest, I left Kaiden cause I didn't like him all that much. Spent all that time bitching and complaining and even when I try to remember his personality, I can't honestly say I remember him.

I imported my character from ME1 to ME2, still getting used to all the tweaks in it. It came with the Cerberus Network so I got Zaeed in the beginning. The combat is alot tougher than in ME1, and I don't like not having barrier or shield power anymore as vanguard abilities.

I didn't, I did Ashley to die. Since the beginning of the game I didn't like her. she was all racist about other species and all.
"You think you're better than everybody ? Well, not in my group. So you die Ashley, we won't miss you." - That's what my Shepard would probably say.

I too had Ashley die because someone needed to secure the bomb.

I left Ashley there too.
Maybe cos I was using a female character, keeping the soldier boy felt more helpful.

Man, I just met Ashley again on ME2 and I totally forgot what a bitch she could be. Complained about me not contacting her after years, probably cause I was dead and all, and then had a go at me for apparently joining Cerberus. Bitch, you're the one that hates aliens, you're the one that should have been in this group! She even recognised that Garrus was in my group but still didn't catch on that we're not actually a part of Cerberus.

Whatever, I've got my eyes on Miranda's and Kelly's ass for now and I'm hoping for some sexy time with my true love from the series, Tali.

I'm down with hooking up with Kelly and Miranda. I haven't met Ashley yet. Maybe ask Mordin to make something to get Tali out of that full body condom she wears. Those giant mechs kick my ass!

I did romance Tali in ME2 and by some bug, after I beat the game I was able to romance Jack as well.
But Tali is way more fun, she all shy and stuff, she tells you she needs some antibiotics so she won't get a disease, but we still don't get to see her face.

I got Grunt in my crew now. Does Dr. Okeer always die? or could you get him instead of Grunt in your group. I have to recruit the rest of my crew or just mine some more to get upgrades. Mining is sooo boring. Except probing Uranus.

Asmodai · « **Reply #109 on:** May 06, 2010, 06:42:36 PM »

You always get Grunt.

Mining is the main reason why I haven't started a second play through to be honest.

I took Kelly to Dinner in my cabin scored 5 Paragon & 5 Renegade pts.

I'm late to the party, but due to talk in the IRC, I'm now playing Mass Effect 8D! After starting it up I realised that I have tried playing it before, but I guess I was distracted or something, because I couldn't get into the plot at all, and I found all the endless chattering extremely tedious. Not so this time around! I played it for 7 hours straight last night @_@; And most of that time was spent just noodling around the Citadel doing various assignments

People compared this to Dragon Age, and I can see why. They are both Bioware games and there's lots of talking and adventuring around. I have to say that I think I actually prefer Mass Effect!

Very unexpected.

Tuffty · « **Reply #114 on:** June 22, 2010, 11:43:49 AM »

Woop woop! Glad to hear you're enjoying it twissie! Are you acting out as the fair and just agent who wants to see justice served or are you the renegade who shoots first and asks questions later?

I'm still playing ME2 and actually just reached Ilium. What a planet! It's gorgeous to look at the 'cars' fly by. I've been taking the rest of my time doing side missions and the loyalty missions. Mordin's has been the best so far and I've also done Jacob's and Jack's. Tried the free side missions you get through DLC as well, including the Hammerhead tank. And it's a hell of a lot more maneuverable than the Mako!

I started playing Mass Effect, too, because it was under 4 euros on Steam

My first attempt was horrid, ended up raging. I chose normal difficulty which has way too much shooting for a noob like me, and I didn't realize you could customize your character's look. I died during the 1st mission (at the end where you look for bombs etc) and came back to chat raging about how I'd been told that this game doesn't have that much shooting stuff and I'd been lied to

Then the next time I started all over again, this time with a customized character and casual difficulty. Suddenly the game was MUCH easier, MUCH more fun... And I think I will really enjoy it

Want to do more random stuff on Citadel soon!

I want to start playing ME over again, after you guys talking about it so much. I did complete paragon my way through both games, I guess I could try these as renegade.

My face when shirenu was raging about ME:

Overall I did enjoy Mass Effect 2 more. The side-missions were just a lot better all around, both random ones on planets and the character related. Grunt's was pretty memorable. Tali's was the best I reckon though, as a whole (and not just because of my bias for her <3)

twissie · « **Reply #117 on:** June 22, 2010, 02:13:09 PM »

I remember the first time I tried playing ME I wanted to explore all possible conversation trees, which.. I guess, is why I ended up finding it so tedious. Now I'm just responding how I feel like at the moment, not really giving thought to whether it will result in renegade or paragon points...

I'm currently on my way to becoming a renegade.

I guess it's in my nature somewhere

I'm also playing on casual difficulty, but mostly because I'm an absolute horrible shot on games that require me to shoot things @_@; I can always switch to normal if it becomes boring, but I don't think it will. The stories and the exploration (so far) largely makes up for combat being a tad easy ^^;

Tuffty · « **Reply #118 on:** June 22, 2010, 02:18:01 PM »

Just be careful twissie! The choices you make now affect your playthrough of ME2 should you continue with that character! Combat is not especially great in ME. Certainly not in comparison with the sequel.

Tali <3 I love me a woman with brains and can only survive by protecting herself with an enviromental suit.

I wish my character wasn't so damn ugly with stupid clothes, that's my main complaint. I honestly just want to start over with the default guy he's annoying me so much,

Like I have these 2 cool aliens with cool alien clothes and there's me standing there with my freaky ugly face and dumb grey jumpsuit, I really hate having to look at myself
