Anyone know if the romantic decision you made in the first game will affect relationships in the second? I heard some of the decisions you made will carry over to the new game but I'm not sure about the romance.
I'm curious since I struck out with Ashley and wasn't into the blue chick so my Shepard didn't get laid in my run-through.
If it matters then I'll have to play 1 again and score with her before moving on to 2.

I heard a rumor that she was but can't confirm it.
I hope so. She was my favorite girl from the first game. Love the voice and the hips.
My Sheppard always knew she was a total hottie under that purple body suit.

In the first game, my Paragon playthrough I romanced Ashley and my Renegade playthrough I romanced Liara. I'm playing my Paragon Shepard in ME2 at the moment and there is a picture of Ashley on my desk in my cabin. I don't know if I'll see her again in this game but I heard that if you cheat on your romantic interest then it might effect you in this game or the third game.
Awesome. Thanks for the info.
I heard Ashley makes an appearance at some point but I don't know when or for how long.
panties in a bunch after I joked that.....why am I not surprised?

Ach fook it, It isnt a massive plot reveal or even major I only got it yesterday so I aint far in. I know Bioware probably doing it purposely to make us think it cause it would probably be cliche yet its bloody fits IMO.....Miranda is the illusive mans daughter!

Just bought it for the Xbox 360 there about 3 hours ago from xtravision. The hacking and other shit was a real bitch on the pc with a mouse and keyboard. Also need a damn new graphics card I got a old 256MB Geforce 7300 LE which actually managed to run the game as the memory is correct and pixel shader 3.0 is supported. Obviously though you know my rig isnt a gamer rig lulz as that card is shit slow and the graphics where choppy as fuck with the odd spike running through them. Chipset not supported lowest being 6300GT.

Ok, I got this game yesterday and after nonstop play I just beat it. Since I'm not sure where everyone is in the game, I'm going to make my test white, so you can read it when you beat it.
Before that, let me just say this game is like getting shot full of adrenaline while driving a on-fire Ferrari down the Autobahn at 200 mp/h.
*spoilers?*
Ok, in the first game I had a romance with Ashley, and in this one it seems like she breaks up with you no matter what you do, so in ME2 I hooked up with Tali (Which, by the way, I wanted to do since the first one). BioWare has said the shit would hit the fan in Mass Effect 3 if you cheat on your romance, so I might be fucked. Normally there is a photo of your love interest from the first one on your desk in your room, and if you cheat on them I guess it tips over. Can't wait to see what they do for this in number three.
I have to say that I am fucking happy that the only two characters from the first one to join your team are Garrus and Tali. They were the only ones I used in the first one.
At the end of the game I managed to have all my team members survive. There was a cutscene where it looked like Garrus got shot, but luckily he didn't. If he would have, I would have restarted the game and chose Miranda to be the team leader.
Overall, without a doubt one of the best games I have played. The feeling of accomplishment afterwards reminds me of how I felt after I beat Metal Gear Solid 3. I cannot wait for Mass Effect 3 - it better not take years to get here. I need it now, or I'll go to Edmonton and hurt everyone at BioWare.

Didnt read all your post but non stop play this weekend and I have beaten it. But my ending was unsatisfactory so I will replay and be more thorough but I was a tad dissapointed since I assumed it was a 2 disc monster plus the first one had more twists and turns in it. Another thing that pissed me off is the lack of armor and less upgrades. Also guns too man I must have only got four models throughout entire play of the game.
i know im way fucking late with this.
i figured i would post here cause all of you probably finished the game.
i just got around to the 1st mass effect (i had a long line of games to play )
i am currently hating this game cause it takes me 2,3,4 or 5 times to do one mission section. i went to the 1st planet to peek15 to go after the matriarch.
my squad pretty much die quick (i always hear "my shields are gone")
and i am left to beat 2,3 or 6 guys by myself.
i dont have great skills and it sucks having to do the same freaking thing over and over like half a dozen times cause my group and i keep getting killed!
i tried to really get into it today, i have to do the whole hangar mission over a bunch where the Geth have some creatures in supply cases. i got into the vehicle to drive to peak15 and died like 4 times.
i am starting to learn i have to save after every little fire fight or gun battle.
but i got so pissed off today that after dying the 4th time i just popped the game out and shut the system off my blood was BOILING!
ANY HINTS on how to get my shooting better? my shields better? my squad to actually put up some sorta fight and not go out with a wimper?
thanks from a frustrated mass effect 1 player.
hope you are all having fun with Mass Effect 2 :thumbsup:

^ I always had problems with that level. If you are having troubles even getting there, I suggest trying another level; otherwise, if you make it to the boss you'll tear your own fingernails out in frustration.
Another suggestion might be to do some side missions and upgrade your team members and their equipment. Remember you can add certain perks to weapons and armour to make them more effective against synthetics or have healing capabilities.
Lastly, if its that hard, try turning down the difficulty. On higher difficulties the game becomes less of a shooter and more of a hide-behind-crates-and-pick-your-shots type game. The kind of problems you seem to be facing is stuff that happens to me on hardcore.

Beat my second playthrough, this time with my female Shepard.
*spoilers?*
This time I didn't get in a romance; in the first game I had a romance with Liara and I decided to keep it through this game. Also, at the end I took an entirely different approach, resulting in Jacob's death. I decided to keep the space station at the end, as well.
On a side note, I ended up playing the last couple of missions on insanity for some reason; I eventually turned it down after dying several times in the final mission. Don't know how it got there.
I really think the Illusive Man was inspired by the Cigarette Smoking Man from the X-Files. It seems fitting.

thanks for that ill give it some looking over.
i think i have it on middle type difficulty.i think i was the same when i started KOTOR i hated the game until i got my character up to a decent level (not terrible not great) then leveled up accordingly to what i felt i needed to be better at. here im just trying to get my squad to be good shots to be able to kill the enemy in 1 or 2 tries.
Any suggestions on the best 2 other members of your squad?

Nope. I found that there really isn't much of a difference between characters; if two of your partners can't shoot, then none of them will be able to. If you're starting out then I suggest Wrex, due to his ability to heal and whatnot. Some might suggest having a partner that is good at tech and another that's a biotic, but it never mattered to me. Personally, my team was always Garrus and Tali, but that's more due to the fact that they are the best characters in the game story-wise.

Ok lad the trick with the buggy is lining up a shot taking it then moving forward a bit. This is in regards to geth armatures which are probably doing the killing. Do not remain stationary then move back line up another shot, flush and repeat. You can pawn geth armatures easily. As for smaller geth you can do that on rocket ones but the other weaker ones are just trash you could even just drive past them if you want.
As for party shit you got to move them into cover in front of you and stay behind the lines in order to get best effect from them. You do this with left arrow and right arrow key on the D-pad. when you want them formed up on you just press Down arrow key on the D-pad.
When inside you will be fighting rachni creatures I really cant stress how imba the vanguard class is. This is a soldier and biotic. If you arent one you need a biotic with you. Stasis and pull are incredibly useful abilities which will slow down there advance in order for you to kill them. Shotgun is a good weapon to be using on these buggers the big ones. When getting swarmed by little buggers use the assault rifle. Later in mass effect 2 the vanguard gets a biotic charge, The only trick for this is common sense dont use it into a spread out group where you get isolated. Once you master that your a wrecking ball.
In regards to boss fights on humanoids you gotta always be using special abilities. On the matriarch she will do crowd control shit on you, A very big bad ass Stasis which will freeze you all in the room from time to time. Send 1 of your guys to each side behind cover they will die in this fight a few times. But issuing that order will maximise how long they stay in the fight and also help you deal with the asari commandoes coming down either side. Yet again use right bumper and spam powers at every opportune time. Speed is essential you gotta kill them commandoes fast cause the big momma is constantly doing shit. Also its nice to have Unity for this fight but dont fret you can still solo it if gets hectic and teammates are dead, Use cover
