Do people read posts before they quote them or are you all godless, night-dwelling gingers?Amnestic said:
More from my book of shit they need to do.
Batarians. Lamest evil alien race ever. Slavers who whinge about their rights to enslave being taken from them. Waah waah waah, ooooh, look at us, we're so evil, we're going to wipe out a human colony for the sake of it. The other alien scum I'm fine with.
The Turian Death Beam. You can get it early on in the game, the flavour text says is designed to cockpunch the guts out of the collector ship, but genius boy doesn't even think to use it on them after running into them for the first time. If you're going to add resource-hungry stuff that doesn't do anything 'til endgame, explain it away somehow. You do the groundwork, then some team on a space station fits the gear just before you make the final jump. Nobody installs an ubercannon, then just lets it gather dust. They fire the thing like they're ringing in the new year, easter, christmas, Kwanzaa, Armistice day and the Wookie's Life Day, all rolled into one. Hell, I'd be using the thing to take out ground targets, thus saving me the bother of having to land and deal with the latest Merc company going pirate on everybody.
Mining. I've accepted the fact that these super-valuable minerals you can mine are apparently worthless and unsellable because they've got Shepherd germs on them, but there's several planets you mine that are inhabited by space-faring cultures who wouldn't take too kindly to some ship showing up out of nowhere, firing in store-bought mining probes and stealing their minerals wholesale. Yes, the Normandy is apparently all that and a bag of invisible salt crackers, but at least explain it away for the pedantic and anal retentive, like me.
Heavy Weapon ammunition. Your ship has a manufacturing plant built into it that can make a nuke launcher, but for some reason can't make the ammo for it. Infact, nobody can make the ammo for it, or if they can, they're certainly not selling it to your ghostly arse. Med-gel, too. In the first game, I couldn't sneeze without needing to disinfect a med-gel dispenser afterwards. Why can these two items only be found on battlefields?
I think that's all I have to whinge about. Maybe a few niggling issues with the cover mechanics. Other than that, great game. Three thumbs up.
Due to all the comments about getting Renegade for Paragon actions and vice versa, I think I shall post my theory.
You often get points for starting up conversations in the first place, or perhaps just advancing the story line. I doubt you could fill the bar with only interruptions and chat options. Just my two cents.

Punching reporters, Telling Miranda you want a hit and run. Then go to a planet to save a cat from a tree.Volafortis said:
Pure awesome indeed. It's what I did, to an extent. I never went middle man to max out my negotiation skills. It's either murder or donate a kidney.
Meh it usually doesn't bother me. There are a couple of times I though he would say something cool and collected and he pretty much says "*****, please.". It's just a rough generalization of what he says, but they could describe it all much better imo.
