My goal was to make the most interesting situation possible in the 2nd one, so I went with Rachni = alive and council = dead.

Yeah when i wrap up this playthough i'm gonna save prior to that point and have the council alive and dead on seperate save files to see the differences.

I saved the queen and I really hope in the 2nd they become your allies and help you when it looks liek you've lost the battle oir they are still evil and you have to take them out for good this time.

 

[killgod]

i wonder what the result would be if you killed them?

maybe some other race comes after you in their defence? i'm sure there's some sort of repercussion for doing that.

I think I'm fucked then...

The problem with killing them off is you never actually layed witness to any of the damage they caused, so for me saving them was easy because they didnt do anything wrong to me personally. Had there been a flashback scene during the game with the Rachni war, it would have been a for more harder choice.

I'm not exactly sure if I killed the queen or not but I think I gassed her ass. I just didnt trust it for some reason. Looking back I probably would of let them live if I could do it again.

Yea im really the exact opposite of a badass and would've felt terrible fi I killed them. In Biocshock in my 2nd playthrough I told myself i was gonna harvest the little sisters but the 1st time I did it and shut the game off and decided I didnt want to.

That's a good idea, hopefully I have an autosave somewhere near the end.

According to this it seems a lot more carries over than I realized, which is kind of a bummer for me as I would have rather done a 10 hour playthrough with some sidequests than a 6 hour speed run with no sidequests. =/

Hey want to know what I remember hating so much now that I'm making another playthrough (on Insanity no less)?

THE FUCKING MAKO.

Fuck I hope that asshole is either dialed back or improved control wise for ME2.

They completely got rid of the Mako and created a new vehicle that they're talking pretty highly about. Havent seen a pic or any exact info though..

I don't care if it looks like a giant black dildo, as long as it handles better than this one does and I don't have to drive it over fucking mountain's that are straight up in the air.

i think they almost entirely got rid of that aspect of the game according to previews they got some kind of orbital planet scanner minigame and then for objectives you drop right on it or so i read

Does anyone know if Pinnacle Station goes towards use _____ 75 times achievements?

Good idea, but unfortunately can't answer that for you. But still, those are the easiest achievements to spam in that game. I have given up on 100% that game, because of a) how fucking insane insanity is with the Mako and b) I would need at least 2 more playthroughs of most of the quests to get all of the NPC achievements.

 

[Buzzman]

you'll get it buddy. I believe in you.

Really AI hacking is the only one that's a real pain in the ass as far as that kind go, as you need to target it at the Geth, and survival mode would make that very easy.

I have 5 of those kind left, 4 ally achievements, and that is it.

EDIT: The real bitch is that I have multiple playthroughs that are like 75% done with around 25 side quests, I just can't remember who I did them with.

According to TrueAchievements, Pinnacle Station works for those. Which is great because it means that that shitty DLC is worth something haha.

As far as your edit, I HATE THAT. That boned me a couple of times.

You beat the game on Insanity? Kudos to you. I couldn't bare it because of Mako (have I mentioned how much I hate that thing yet?).

With a 60 soldier it really wasn't too tough. For the Mako sequences I either sped past or if that couldn't happen get out and shoot them on foot lol

I forgot how fucking awesome the ending to ME1 was.

It's also amazing to me that there is a 2 year gap between DA and ME and yet ME's graphics are much better. Probably because ME just recycled the same 3 damn interior things for side quests.

Is it January 26th yet?
