Mass Effect Thread, Formerly Stickied

So I just ran into a nasty, I guess glitch. I was on that first mission of the gameand I died. I pressed A to load the game par usual, expecting to go back to the start of the mission. But the game just sat there, I was able to move the camera around and saw my team continuing to fight so it didn't freeze, it was just stuck. I pressed start and tried to manually load the last autosave and there was nothing there. So I quit game and came back in it to see that everything I did, importing my character, escaping the Cerberus base and all had been deleted. Anyone run into this glitch?

Does anyone know how high my Paragon has to be in order to regain Jack's loyalty?

I've filled up 4 full bars on Paragon and have just started the final one but it wont give me the Paragon option when I speak to her. Any help would be appreciated. :)

Not sue but I think you need 100% paragon to regain her loyalty, and you need at least 80% when Jack and Miranda have their fight to not lose anyone's loyalty.

How many star cluster map stores are there?

Its... an amazing game! I just didnt like planet scanning and it could bit a bit longer - but nevertheless its awsome with a very nice written and unpredictable story.

I loved the part where [spoiler] Geth - Legion [/spoiler] joins your team. Awsome!

ME3 is a must buy and how awsome is it that it's gonna be released sometime next year (they are looking at a date in Q1).

Say what? :shock:

The game would not be very good if it was rushed like so.

Can anyone please tell me if you ever unlock or find an optional sniper rifle, also will I ever be able to use the claymore shotgun that grunt uses? BTW I am a soldier class.

You can find the Viper Sniper in Dantius Towers and you can get the Widow Sniper when [spoiler] you're in the collector ship and you're offered a specialisation [/spoiler]

I don't think you can get the claymore shotty, but maybe what's mentioned in the spoiler is the answer to that too.

If you need any more help, take a look at the place in my sig.

I think my ME2 profile glitched. After you complete the game you have 2 options. To continue the game or to restart a new game with the same level and equipment with an option to change you're class. Well, once I finished my 2nd play through I selected the 2nd option and when I do so. I'm the same class as I was before without any option menus asking if I want to select a different class. Is this a glitch I've encountered?

There are a few things I'd prefer changed about ME2.
The person that mentioned the enemies, I agree with. Mass Effect 2 didn't seem to stay in one place. It couldn't decide if you were fighting the Blue Suns, other mercs, The Reapers, The Collectors.
[spoiler] One moment you've got tons of hate for the collectors, then you learn their dark little secret and you're thinking.. Okay. So the reapers are the bad guys.
But there really wasn't ANYTHING to do with the reapers in there.. Minus the final battle and ending cutscene ofcourse. [/spoiler]

Also, it'd be nice to be given an upgrade that makes the Planet Scanner a tad bit bigger. Get it done quicker?
I tend to just buttonmash LT and move around the planet. Constantly slam on the Left Trigger and move about and when you see the thing spike, go back and actually hold it down and search. Works pretty well but it's still rather time consuming.

Also, the inventory. I like it. It's good.. Mass Effect 1 was WAY too cluttered. But on the other hand.. They also had it right. I enjoyed going from Shop to Shop on different planets and looking for the big beastie weapons and armour. Best of the Best. Then you finally happen upon the Spectre gear.. and start saving. Then once you've said, you get that satisfaction of buying and using your long awaited weapon/armour.
Mass Effect 2 has a good SYSTEM for Inventory. But there aren't enough weapons and armour.
As far as I've seen.. Theres 2 shotguns, 2 AR's, 2 Snipers, 2 Handguns, 2 Subs. That's it.. [spoiler] Also the special ones found on the collector ship. But that requires playing through 3 times to get all 3. [/spoiler]
I like the system. But it needs more variety. That's what it's lacking. A lovely mesh of the two would be absolutely perfect. I'm sure many would agree.

One other thing that I can't stress enough.
GRENADES!
I want my grenades back.
I can't count the amount of times I've seen an enemy behind cover and thought "I'll throw a gren- OH wait."
I mean do we REALLY need two different buttons designated to the same thing? I'm speaking of the Compass Buttons ofcourse.
Clicking both Left and Right analog in does the SAME thing. Is that necessary?
Why not designate one and give me my damn grenades back ¬¬
It's not like I'm asking for a whole range of grenades. Anywhere from Incen to Cryo. I just want a regular grenade!

Mass Effect 2 is an amazing game, that I will not deny. One of my all time favourites. But it is not without fault, no game is.
If they fixed those problems, I'd have nothing to complain about.
I love everything else. Especially the achievements (:
I think Bioware are just being nice because of how difficult the ME1 achievements were.

Just beat the game and am going in for round 2. I have a couple of questions before I start however. Im going to play on Insane, so if I start a brand new character, does this increase my chances of reaching level 30? Also, if I were to restart the game with the same Shepard I used before, I assume I would have to use the same class which would make it so I couldnt get certain achievements such as the Overload and Warp ones since I was a vanguard? One last question, how do you get the Tactician achievement? Thanks in advance.

Im was about 12 hours into ME2 before I got the Red Ring of death. Im waiting for my new console. Loooongest 2 weeks of my life!!!!!!

Another questions. If I were to re-use my same Shepard (as in the one I beat with both ME1 and ME2) would I be able to then you him on insanity and change his class? Or would I have to stay a Vanguard? Because while I really dont want to stay a Vanguard, I don't want to go back to a level one, it seems like a pick your poison kind of deal.

Is there some sort of free DLC tomorrow?Chiddaling

I just got my Collector's Edition today. It's really nice.

Game is even nicer though. Can't wait to continue on with the game.

Sweet, just loaded up the game and got the new DLC I didn't know that was coming for free, the Ceberus Armor and Shotty.

Playing my second playthru with a different imported Shepard going for an ultimate Renegade. Love how how their eyes turn red and the face gets heavily scarred and with a Heavy Reave power you feel like Darth Vader when your victims are writhing in pain, struggling for their lives. And the booty is a nice addition....

You know what would be really cool for the Mass Effect series? If you could change Shepard's accent. I realize the improbability of this but I always thought he sounded kind of like a tool. Plus it would be hilarious to make an angry russian Shepard.:D

I'm replaying ME 1 (Insanity) and the combat & framerate are terrible compared to the sequel. The game runs like utter crap :( It's a night and day difference- I encountered more bugs in an hour of Mass Effect 1 than 30+ hours of Mass Effect 2. I give credit to Bioware for fixing everything wrong with the first game, there was so much to fix.

I would pick that conversation option everytime.

Epic Sauce is all I can say about this game. One of the best experience I ever had. I ended up losing Thane (Nooooooooooo!) Legion and Zaeed. On a side note during Samara's loyalty mission, does the sound cut out at the end there for anyone else? Is it suppose to do that?Sepewrath

Yes. The sound does cut out for me. It sorta sucks.

can you use the same character from me1 but change their class in me2? i'm a vanguard but don't want to be!!!!

Are you talking about this pic?

If so you can unlock it by beating the game on insane difficulty on Mass Effect 1.

[QUOTE="Flamecommando"]

Sepewrath

if you really want to hear what samera(right?) is saying just put on the sub titles.. but it doesn't really matter spoiler (if you side with her you die and it's game over).

and with the loyalty thing, when you choose to save the people and zaede gets po'ed he wont be loyal to you unless you have enough paragon or renegade to convince him. There are situations throught the game that go like that, for example when tali and legion have that argument, without enough par/reg you will loose the loyalty of one.

what is everyones favorite loyalty mission in ME2?
