Mass Effect/Mass Effect 2 Discussion

Mass Effect/Mass Effect 2
The new role playing third person shooter from Bioware. I'm starting the discussion thread for this game. So ow lets start the discussion.
I've started this game yesterday and the first ten mins made my Howl in excitement. This game is so freaking awesome.
I've changed the Title of the thread to Mass Effect/Mass Effect 2 Discussion Thread so that the discussion of both the games can be done here as both the games are having entirely interdependent story lines as well as gameplay characteristics and features.

^It sure is. Can't seem to find any Element Zero anywhere. Can anybody tell me? Didn't play Mass Effect though 'cause ME2 is irresistible, can't wait till ME so started playin' ME2. :p
 
Re: Mass Effect 2 Discussion Thread

I completed the mission where you have to save Garrus. I am really getting addicted to this game. And at the same time playing ME to get back some memory. ME2 is really improved over the last one.

Have you ported over your saves from ME to ME2? I'm right in the middle of ME, so was wondering what exactly is the point of bringing over the saves from the earlier game?

^You get the same level you are in ME to ME2 and whether you are a Renegade or Paragon. In other words, you continue the level you are in ME in ME2.

@ethan bhai,

I ported the save files of ME to ME2

setting the record straight with one sentence, 'It is a must for the person who played ME'

More elaborately, There are hundreds of decisions you will make in Mass Effect. Many of them include Letting a person live or die, destroying a facility, etc.

Think it like this.. You are in a situation where you have to decide the life of a party member.. and you had made your decision. Now.. When you are playing ME2, if you don't have ported save file.. chances are that your decision in the first game is not the way developers decided.. so, you may see the person you let die in the first game appearing again. Any way, if you have a ported save file... It will access your decision and make sure that that party member will be replaced by another.. whom you let live.

That is just one example.. There are tens of situations which will be like this. As you haven't played the first game.. telling too much will be spoiling your experience.

Not only that.. If you have a ported save file.. All of your character's stats like paragon, renegade, etc.. will be forwarded.. and not to mention.. you will start as a level 5 character.

In one word.. It will be like continuing the story you build up in your own way.

I wish I had this option in Prince of Persia: The two thrones.

Element Zero is very hard to find...You can find element zero in the system of Crescnet Nebula-> Lusarn Cluster-> tarith planet.

and in the system of Eagle Nebula->Amun Cluster-> Anhur Planet.

That's all I know about Element zero. I still have lot of planets to explore..

Better re-name this thread to Mass Effect/ Mass Effect 2 discussion thread, as people who haven't played the first title, would find it good for their reference as well.

@Vamsi: Thanks for the explanation. :)

I'll look into it.

If you had seen the Terminus Armor in action then you may even think that it kicks Crysis's Nanosuit 2.0. I'm loving it.


Completed the Normandy Crash Quest DLC. This DLC lets you *spoiler* see the remains of the old crashed normany.*spoiler end*. You need to explore the crash site and collect 20 dogtags and your old N7 helmet. This DLC not required if your looking for action.

Re: Mass Effect 2 Discussion Thread

People, I finally got ME. Installin' it right now. Can't wait to play it! Vamsi, I respect you :D. I'll forget that I played ME2. I'm currently usin' stock armor. Collector's armor is too crude. Blood Dragon is awesome! Gotta see that Terminus armor, better than Nanosuit 2!? Let me guess.

+1 I'm one of those poor blokes who are still stuck on the first game.
 
Re: Mass Effect 2 Discussion Thread

I'm on Feros too. Killing that big plant Thorian. The game is really fun. Doesn't feel like a boring RPG at all! I lowered down the difficulty to normal as hard was too freakin' tough.

Re: Mass Effect 2 Discussion Thread

A few questions:
1.) What are the quick slots for in the PC version? How do I use them?
2.) How do I upgrade my armour?
3.) What's the use of omni-gel?
4.) What if I don't complete side missions? Does it harness the main storyline?
