Mass Effect 2- The Ten.

[Loop Stricken]

Btw I have the non-steam version of ME1(PC version ofc) and just bought the digital delux edition on steam of ME2, will I still be able to load my ME1 Profile?

Should be able to, yes. It'll just look for your saved game wherever it is.

 

[WillSimplyBe]

Levels 35, 50 and 60 I believe.

And yes, you can choose which profile to import, as long as that character has actually completed the game - ME2 uses the "New Game +" info so if your Shepard was lv55 when you finished, then you started a new game + and got it to 60, you'd need to finish the game again for it to be recognised as lv60.

quoting the actual discussion here.

CaseyH-ME2: For Guest-15 - We have a similar power progression system as ME1, but the powers are significantly upgraded to make each class really powerful and more unique in combat. That means that there is no direct conversion from ME1, but we did want to make sure your hard work in developing your ME1 character is rewarded. So, you'll get more points to apply to your starting character if you were a level 40, 50, or 60 character.

I've gotten really interested in Mass Effect 2...but since I haven't played the first one, I may have to borrow a copy of the first and do a quick run through (well...as "quick" as I can manage with an RPG lol)

Book several days off work/school/whatever. Buy it tomorrow. Lock yourself in a room & play it as a Renegade & a Paragon then purchase no.2 on day of launch.

These are your orders

EDIT: When playing as a renegade disconnect the council when ever you can. Makes you more of a badass

Plus it allows for Joker snark-awesome-ness....

eh it happens.

Anyway, i really wonder what the relationship dynamic will be like this time around, since the crewmembers of ME1 WILL return in ME3... will people cheat on their romantic interrests of ME1? I'm sure everyone probably will and then make a file where they don't. It seems that Shepard might just end up getting whats coming to him in the love department if he does...

 

[Always_Remain]

It seems that all the old characters come back (except the dead one) but aren't going to be a part of your squad apart from Tali and Garrus.

Hmm, this has me wondering what happens at the start of the game so that they don't be a part of your squad. I hope that Bioware doesn't drop a bridge on them just to get em out of the way for a new bunch of characters. I liked Liara and Wrex.

The tenth character is probably Legion as others have mentioned, should be cool.

From what I understand, everyone thinks Shepard is dead for a couple years, then you just happen to run into Tali on Freedom's Progress [http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Freedom%27s_Progress] (basically this game's Eden Prime), then Garrus on Omega. [http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Omega]

What about Prodigy? For those have seen the Cinematic Trailer remember that part where there's like a cryo (cuz I don't know what to call it) chamber with a bunch of guards around it and then the guy blast them with Biotics? Or is that just Samara cleverly disguised?

That was Subject Zero.

Whoops. My bad. Now I feel dumb haha

Hopefully I'll be knocking boots with Tali by that point so I couldn't care less.

hope i took that quote right...

here!
and I quote...

CaseyH-ME2: In ME1 Tali was kind of a young character, on her "pilgrimage", so she wasn't a love interest option. One cool thing ME1 players will notice is that the characters they know and love from the first game have grown up and moved on a bit. Tali is more mature now. We were surprised to see how many people were interested in her as a love interest, given that she wore a mask, was an alien, and as one of our team members said, she had "chicken feet". Will she take things further with you? There's a great story there, but I won't spoil it for you!

There is hope yet, my friend... there is hope yet.

The ??? party member is Legion, one of the achievements points at it being a geth.
So it's either Legion or some other badass geth voiced by Wesker.

yeah, we know that now, we are now pretty much just using this as a general hub for info about ME2.

Ah, well in that case, did anybody see the Soldier class reveal? Looks like I will be playing as a soldier on my first run after all.

Vanguard all the way... _> and then Engineer. They are both looking great this time around.

I'm happy tech-based classes are finally getting their day in the sun. In Mass Effect 1, they were the wallflower, only one or two great abilities, and even then somewhat situational. Now, they are looking so awesome i just about damn near jumped off the vanguard boat... till I saw the vanguard trailer.

 

[Spike815]

So let me get this straight - even f I save Garrus/Ashley/Kaiden etc from a horrible end in the Virmire mission, IF THEY LIVED THEY DON'T COME BACK?!?!

So much for making choices...

You can meet at least Wrex in-game, he just won't be on your squad. And from what I've heard saving him makes the universe a very different place. I wouldn't be surprised if the others have a similar situation.

Legion seems like a more interesting character. "We do not experience pain, but we understand how it effects you." Is a very Terminator-esque quote and interests me.

I wonder how he will get along with the rest of the team... since its supposed to be as important to get them to work together as it is for them to trust and follow Shepard.

Also, from what i've heard, you do not have to recruit a character merely because they are on the list. A lot of them are optional characters. Being a Shepard that usually swings Paragon,(only renegade when he's pissed) I don't know how well I could get someone like SuZe to work well with me.

SuZe seems like a complete psycho. I don't think it'll be worth it having her around. Sure, she can clear a room with a sneeze but she'll probably kill people without my say-so. Not fucking okay.

 

[Fappy]

Achievement leak about a month ago pretty much confirmed Legion.

Yeah. Same thing with Grunt. Meh... Grunt... I want to give him the benefit of the doubt, but he seems like a wannabe wrex, only not as smart... I don't know If i want him either. Which is fine by me losing both of them since I'm the vanguard of my team anyway.

Hmm... however, I wonder how the trashing of most defensive abilities (read: Barrier) will affect the gameplay of some classes. Charge will definitely change the playing field, but just going by gameplay from ME1... without Barrier, something like that could very well end up being a kamikaze.

 

[Ayuvir]

Sure hope so, don't want to make another perfect ME1 profile just so I can continue ME2.
