Mass Effect 2

if you're a soldier, mordin and miranda until you can upgrade accordingly

Alright, so I recently did a fresh run of ME1. Beat it when it first came out but lost my save. This run was very bare-bones, pretty much did only the story so I could get to jammin on ME2. Do skills and things of that nature carry over?

no, they don't. you get some bonuses for your level and various other things, but your stats are reset.

I am planning on playing as a soldier again in 2, what are some suggestions as far as having a balanced squad? I haven't researched too much for fears of spoilage.

basically the same as part 1. whatever you play, just pick one of each of the other classes if you want to be balanced. if you're a soldier, choose a tech and a biotic.

but balance isn't really necessary. you don't need a tech guy for opening crates anymore. i was a vanguard and most of the time ran with Samara and Jack, the two powerful biotics. we threw everyone out of our way.

later in the game when it started getting hard i brought Grunt along. he is really hard to kill and is a monster.

Just started my game and got the Normandy V2...I can tell this is going to be a game of epicness. I think Miranda's fine ass has earned her a place in the squad lol.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll play around a bit and see what happens.

Guessing you haven't played on insanity yet.

i don't know why the med bay upgrade requires such a vulgar amount of platinum.

if you're trying to do it, here is a good place to go:

planet: patseyev

system: pamyet

cluster: hades nexus

got 10k+ platinum there. knocked out a big chunk of the tedium of mining for it.

still looking for a planet with a large amount of element zero.

got this from another site... it may help ya

I know how much scanning can suck. I'm listing all the planets that are either rich in Element Zero (EZO), Platinum, or both. These are the hardest to find. Scan all the minerals you can from these planets and it should save you some time.

Listed by cluster, then system, then planet.

finally finished. only around 18 hours, and i did a totally completionist playthrough. definitely shorter than the first one.

edit: wait a sec, 46 hours. no idea where i got 18 from. need to check my vision.

i managed to save everyone. thought that would be harder, but it's just a matter of doing the 3 upgrades and picking the logical people for the assignments in the final mission.

Heh I just finished as well.

but fuging Tali died

I dunno what I forgot with that.

Does she have a Omni-Tool upgrade?

Did me poping that Quarian cherry and giving her the orgasm of her life make her distracted ?

I will set-up my ME1 game better now, and do a set-up run through for me3 in a couple weeks.

i think tali just does the shield upgrade.

did you lose her loyalty over legion? that could've caused it.

Thats it, I never saw an upgrade for her.

Meh no worries.

Not like I can't save her next time.

[rodeo]

i had her as the duct/tech person in my final mission. she did well.

[Kurb]

I did too.

I never did her upgrade tho, and she was struggling with the door.. and then a random shot went through and she was gonne.>>!>!!?!! WE HAD FINALLY FOUND EACH OTHER

WAHHHHHH!! :(
