Well so much for the sticky.

Yes kudos to Wakanoid for having a keen eye :P

:crickets chirping:

After you complete the the game.. can you continue on and do any remaining side quests? Or does it end?simo98088

Yes you can go back to do your remaining sidequest.

I'mglad this time around you can continue after finishing the game. I thought it was a pain to start over in ME to play the 2 dlcs.

im nearing the end of the game and miranda wont talk to me she always blows me off and says she's busy. have i blown my chance with a romance with her? to be exact im about to go to aquire the reaper iff.

Thanks for the sticky.

There has been a ridiculous amount of mass effect threads of late.

[QUOTE="solid_snake214"][QUOTE="chaoscougar1"] have you done her loyalty quest yet?lawlessx

i really dont think so but idk why its really annoying i feel like im going to end this game without a love sequence which is really going to piss me off, lol. if anyone knows anything please feel free to pass some info on.

Last night i was playing as a Infiltrator and i picked geth shields boost as my additional skill to play.

When i played with it i got a green aura on my armor also i saw a green bar stacked on top of my shield bar which I never saw before.

I tested it and every time i got damaged the green bar goes first then my sheilds then my health IT WAS STACKING!!!

Problem is when i tried to play next day all it did was regenerate my shields and show the aura on my armor.

Has anyone encountered something like this in their play through even with the other protection skills frotification or barrier?

I finished ME2 last night but no New Game + option appeared. Did anyone else unlock it.

Did you check under "New Game"? There should be the option to import your ME2 character, but it won't actually say New Game + on the screen.

Amazing game no doub

i was wondering if it does, because iam playing through masseffect 1 again and want to know if doing PS has any effect on masseffect 2 since they story continues where you left off any all events and choices you made in 1 carry over to 2.EmperorZeruel

Just started playing Mass Effect 1 and I'm already loving it. Question though...how do you cycle through available targets? I didn't see the control option in the back of the manual so I'm guessing it's nonexistent. Am I right?

Is there a button to cycle through targets in ME2?

There are so many instances in this game that are going to impact mass effect 3. i hope i made the right choices... :?

I fed my fish all the time and they still died(maybe I over fed them) can I buy new fish at the place where I originally bought them or do I have to go somewhere else?

I think I'm in love with the new Sniper.
It feels SO much better than the last game. In ME1, sniping was so incredibly awkward and.. argh.
But it feels right now. (: Like it should be.
I was jaw dropped. I love pulling out my sniper and picking off the little enemies no problem, save my AR and whatnot for the medium-big enemies. Then pull out a heavy weapon for big-huge. :P

Haven't uploaded the save where I did PS and BDS.

Awhile back someone posted about how if you do PS they mention whatever choices you made for it. Not sure if it is by e-mail or if you get to see one of the people from PS.

ME2 ending..[spoiler] So I just beat ME2 today but, 2 of my characters died. The first person that died was Tali and she was the specialist I believe who had to open up the gate. The second person that died was Grunt who was with me when SAMARA had the biotic barrier up. Do people that I choose for these roles automatically die? or is there a way for me to save them? [/spoiler]

ME2 ending..

DeadApeBladder

Did you do Tali's loyalty quest, I sent her into the vents and she survived. As for Grunt, I told him to take the survivors back to the shuttle. I had jack make the barrier, and Miranda/Garrus for the squad leaders. Everyone from my crew survived that way.

Such a amazing game. Seriously though anyone that has not played this yet then leave now and buy it and you will be happy you did.

This is a reasonably confusing/tricky character import question, ill try to word it as concisely as possible;

Now, to import a character into ME2 from ME1, it required a special 'End Game Save File' that cant be seen on your hard drive and is only created if you complete ME1 on that specifc hard drive. So i will assume mass effect 3 will use the same save in its character import, but if it does will it take events/missions/levels you have done after the end game (ie when it asks you whether you would like to start a new game or continue with the current one) into account when importing the save? or is there a way to update that end game save?

obviously there is no official news on it, but i was wondering whether anyone had an idea how it would work.

easy solution deadapebladder :)

[spoiler] to make sure all the characters survive you must ask them EACH for recommended normandy upgrades (can be accessed through the investigate dialogue channel) If you make all the necessary upgrades (tali upgrades the ships shields i think, and Grunt gets a new shotgun) they should all survive, least they did on my playthroug [/spoiler]

Making a sticky thread like this basically means "we're tired of people making their own threads about this game so we're going to force everyone to use one single thread", and what always happens is people pretty much just stop talking about the game because the topics get too jumbled and fractured. It's a really stupid way to handle a forum, and it's pretty much sent people to other sites instead of this one to discuss ME2.

I have to say it does seem weird for this sticky. The PS3 has plenty of threads about MAG and WKC or even UC2 but no sticky. A great 360/PC game but can only talk about it in one thread.SilentlyMad

Edit: I'm rather curious if I import my Mass Effect 2 character will I be able to change what happened in the end and import that character to Mass Effect 3? Otherwise I'm doing this for nothing and I should stop before I get too far. I doubt anyone knows yet but it's worth a shot.

[QUOTE="PoisoN_Facecam0"][QUOTE="craigalan23"] The same thing happened to me and to my knowledge I asked everyone for their upgrades. I know I upgraded the shields but I never upgraded Grunt's shotgun. I also completed all of the loyalty quests except for Samara's. craigalan23
