Howdy y'all.

So Mass Effect 2 just came out, and I've just recently jumped on that whole bandwagon. Here is a place for players of the games to have a nice chat.

If you choose to talk about spoilers, be specific about the contents of your tags. For example, if you want to talk about Virmire in Mass Effect 1, say "spoilers for ME1, virmire," then plop down your spoiler tag. Otherwise, speak in general terms, and avoid any mention of "death" in relation to any specific character.

SO HOW BOUT THAT MASS EFFECT 2, HUH? No more Mako, more useful biotic abilities. Shit, man, this is a good game. It might just be my favorite game ever.

People sure are hyping ME2 up! So far ME1 is about what I expected,nothing amazing but pretty fun.

I also just beat ME2. I think

I also just beat ME2. I think I'll wait a bit to replay, though. I only have 3 achievements left to get, but I think I'll go for the ME1 achievements first. I'm thinking infiltrator will make everything a different experience, anyway.

don't click unless you've beaten ME2:

Spoiler: Highlight to view

My head wants to explode at the continuity of decisions throughout this trilogy. There's so much you can do, so many decisions you can have made that seem like they're the right thing to do, but could easily have not been.

I killed all the heretic geth, because I was feeling all righteous, but then what if we go up to the Reapers in ME3 and they're like HAH. You don't have a full geth army! Now we will crush you!

Shit, I'm so nervous about 3.

I downloaded it, haven't

I downloaded it, haven't gotten to it yet.

My friend did though, and he said she doesn't have real dialog, like Zaeed, though she does have more to say. He liked the missions, too I guess.

Mass effect movie rights have been bought by legendary, in case anyone hadn't heard.

I'm gonna be playing the overlord DLC in a little bit so if anyone wants i'll write up a summary in here. It'll probably be pretty bare bones because I dont want to spoil anything and I suck at writing.

i started playing it two days

i started playing it two days ago, but I had just come off of red faction, so it was difficult for me to work the controls.

What what I saw, it just seems like an excuse to use your new DLC weapons and shit. The arc reactor is particularly effective against geth.

As far as story, I can't say much without finishing it, but the setup and environments are rather well done.

Hokay, i'm starting a new game from ME1 to celebrate the fact I now own both mass effects...LEGALLY! Any sidequests I should go out of my way to do or should I just power through ME1 into ME2?

Do all of them! Or, do at

Do all of them!

Or, do at least the Admiral Kahoku missions, which include a discoverable thing near where you find Liara. Then, there's an asari diplomat in the Citadel bar who wants you to track down her sister - that one's really imporant.

I think the keeper quest is pretty interesting, as is the Consort. Oh, and the reporter - you gotta be sure you talk to the reporters.

The only ones I havent done previously are the admiral kahoku missions and I dont think I ever finished the one with the diplomat. But if i'm gonna do one of 'em I may as well do most of 'em.

For some reason, I recall you

For some reason, I recall you saying that you hadn't carried over your save last time.

If that's the case, you'll want to be doubly sure you do a lot of them.

I deleted all of my saves. I feel like this shepherd should start off on a clean non-pirate themed slate.
