[PS3] Mass Effect 2 coming to PS3

[padman59]

So I just played through the digital comic.

I chose:
Ash over Liara.
Save the Queen over Kill the Queen.
Save Wrex over Kill Wrex.
Save Ashley over Save Kaiden.
Save Council over Sacrifice Council.
Anderson over Udina.


Are those the best decisions?

I don't think these have much of an impact in ME2 from my experience. Obviously, the people who died won't be there for their brief appearances in the game, but the story procedes pretty much the same way with or without them. I will say that some of these choices seem like they'll come in handy for ME3 though.

I think they are all very good. Keeping Wrex is really smart because he is a badass and has a big impact on the whole krogan race.

Saving the Queen won't have much of an impact on ME2 but it might be an important part of ME3.

Saving Ashley over Kaiden is great because Kaiden is probably the most boring character in the whole series.

Anderson over Udina is another great choice because Udina is a douche and Anderson is always on Shepard's side.

Picking to save the council or let them die seemed rather small in ME2. Saving them makes people believe that Shepard and the human race is willing to work with the rest of the races. While killing them leads some people to believe that Shepard puts humanity first.

As for the romance that is just a personal preference I guess.

This game seems so daunting. So many things to map to the controller and I don't seem like I have control over half the shit that is going on.

There was one situation so far that really ticked me off and it's something I hate in games. I was on the mission where you have to search the Frontier planet or whatever it;s called. Very early on. You meet up with Talia (?) and she tells you that there are looking for Veetor. Right before you get to him you get in this battle with a big mech. After the battle I start searching around the area because I want to try to find everything. I find some salvage and other stuff and then I see the room where the Talia chick seems to be hunched over an injured soldier. I figure if I talk to her it's going to trigger a cutscene and I might not be able to search the rest of the area. Instead of talking to her I go to the far back room, the only one I hadn't searched yet. I open the door and a long series of cutscenes triggers and next thing you know I'm back on the Normandy.

I know damn well there was at least some items in that room that I didn't get to search and now I guess I'll never know because I assume you can't go back there?

If you click on one of the sticks, it tells you which direction your objective is, so you would have known that the room w/ Tali wasn't it.

Now we have two active ME threads? Nice.

Anyways, I have a feeling saving the Rachni queen is going to pay off huge in ME3. There's a part in ME2 where an asari gives you a message from the queen herself. She seems ready and willing to do whatever she can to help Shepard against the reapers in the future. I feel sorry for the assholes who killed her.

Also if you choose Ashley in the 1st I challenge you to not bang anyone in the 2nd game... :shifty:

Wait, what? So you're saying that since I chose Ashley in the digital comic, no e-sex for my Shep?

I think I'm going to reload my previous save and play through that whole mission again. I didn't like the decision I made with Veetor either because I pissed Talia off.

 

[j.hen]

Nah nigga, you already had your fun with 4 different bitches. You get to miss out. Your sweet flip-trick picture on your desk has been knocked over long ago. Mine however is standing upright to this day..

I'm finna get it in. :yep:

No, you can have all the e-sex you want with your Shep. But Ashley returns in ME3 as a permanent squad member and if you have her as your love interest in ME1 and don't have e-sex in ME2 (You'll look at her picture in your quarters and get yourself pumped before the Omega 4 Relay) You get "rewarded" in ME3 for staying faithful since she's with you for the whole game again.

And it's Tali damnit. :smh:

No you are still able to romance one of the squad members in ME2.

Don't worry about that decision, later on, in the second set of dossiers, you go recruit her into your crew anyways, and then a loyalty mission for her after that.

Yeah, but I feel like I at least missed some credits and it is irking me so I need to go back.

I wouldn't worry about missing credits. And I think Cerberus is after you in ME3 regardless of what you do in ME2, so keep that in mind when making choices for/against them. I basically said fuck them throughout the entire playthrough, especially in the end.

 

[j.hen]

Took the Shadow Broker's bum ass down.

 

[Twigg4075]

I replayed the mission and you guys were right. I really didn't miss anything at all. Just a medic kit I think. It was cool that when I went to reload my older save there was an option to "Replay Frontier Mission" or whatever it was so I just did that.

Now I'm just wandering around the Normandy checking shit out.

 

[Twigg4075]

I'm on my way to track down Mordin. Even though I'm very early and Jay told me I haven't even gotten "to the good shit yet" I'm really starting to dig this game.

I felt like such a bad ass when I told that giant slug looking shopkeeper to back the fuck off and let that other shopkeeper conduct his business. The dude acted like a little bitch.

 

[j.hen]

Just wait till you find Garrus. :yep:

He became a staple of my team real quick.

 

[j.hen]

Do you have Zaeed & Kasumi?

 

[Twigg4075]

Do you have Zaeed & Kasumi?

Is Zaeed the bounty hunter? If so he was right there after you land on the Omega 4 (or is it 5?) relay. He can be part of my squad but so far I'm still just using Miranda and Jacob.

Jay and I were having a discussion about Kasumi. I was thinking about going after her but isn't her mission DLC? I didn't want to do shit out of order.

Because this game is an action RPG, does the game ever tell you how your abilities relate to a mission? For instance, does it tell you whether you are over or under leveled? I know most RPG's will tell you that mission 'such and such' is rated Easy or Hard depending on your level.

Level doesn't matter too much in ME as far as I'm concerned. And you can get Kasumi whenever you want, there's no order to be worried about really. I think she's at Illium and she's basically looking for you to join your team anyway (much like Zaeed) so just talk to her and she'll go to your ship.

Also it's Omega. Just Omega. The Omega 4 Relay is what takes you to where the reapers/collectors are for the suicide mission.
