I don't understand how you guys can do so many play throughs one after another. I usually have to wait about a year, at the very least, before I can play a game again after completing it.

TheOutlawXanadu · « **Reply #211 on:** March 24, 2010, 09:46:57 AM »

For me, it boils down to:

A) I don't have a lot of money, so buying/renting lots of games is unrealistic.

B) Therefore, whenever I play video games, I end up playing the same ones over and over.

I don't think I'm that bad about it, however. You read about people who have beat ME2 six different times already and it makes you feel better.

I never do multiple playthroughs of a game. But I'm on my 3rd character in ME2, it's just too good.

Dimitrius · « **Reply #213 on:** March 29, 2010, 12:08:13 PM »

So I downloaded the Firewalker, Arc Projector and Blood Dragon pack... and I can't find any of those things when I resume the game!

EDIT: Nevermind, I restarted the game and got the journal update. It makes no sense that one has to restart the game, though.

Firewalker missions are so lame.

Late to the party, but I just beat ME2 with a neutral male soldier Shepard. No one died except Jack and Tali, both of whom I lost during the cutscene (I'm guessing I have to upgrade my ship more if I want to save them?). Just started a 2nd playthrough with a renegade vanguard Femshep on Hardcore.

Does anyone else use reave? I'm an adept right now, and I find the instatravel and the vampirism is SO much better than warp. It also gives me the ability to focus on one guy rather than crowd control (which is amazing for the adept)

Scurvy!Dreams · « **Reply #217 on:** April 23, 2010, 10:04:28 AM »

Reave is easily the best bonus power. Don't think I'd ever pick anything else.

And did anyone else see the Illusive Man after you kill the human reaper, hes like in the ceiling.
Just came in here to say, Yes I did see that...and yes it was quite weird

Is there a video of this? I looked on YouTube and couldn't find anything.

This thread got me interested in playing it again but then I realised there was about 5 free add-ons so I'm currently downloading all of them.

Starting my third playthrough today.

Vanguard. Renegade.

Super Dude · « **Reply #223 on:** May 02, 2010, 06:47:19 PM »

I haven't even finished my first. Granted I've been at college and thus have no access to ME2...

AcidLameLTE · « **Reply #224 on:** May 03, 2010, 12:10:29 AM »

I completed my second run through the other day.

Dimitrius · « **Reply #225 on:** May 03, 2010, 11:17:59 AM »

I need to do another run just so I can choose to save the Collector's base.

faemir · « **Reply #226 on:** May 04, 2010, 05:16:24 AM »

Anyone bothering to get the paid-for DLC items coming out tomorrow?

Starkweather · « **Reply #227 on:** May 04, 2010, 06:08:40 PM »

Nope. I don't do nickle and dime DLC like that, if it adds storyline, maybe, but this doesn't.

Is this the new mission that adds a character to your squad?

faemir · « **Reply #229 on:** May 05, 2010, 08:21:09 AM »

No, it's just new items

Dimitrius · « **Reply #230 on:** May 05, 2010, 08:26:51 AM »

Then no, I'm not wasting money on items.

Super Dude · « **Reply #231 on:** May 06, 2010, 08:48:25 AM »

I think I may have asked this question earlier in the thread, but now that some of you have had several playthroughs, I thought it'd be worth to ask again. I have two accounts: one is a default account on ME2, meaning Wrex is dead; the other is a file transfer from ME1 where I let Wrex live. I've heard people say that keeping Wrex alive and doing his loyalty mission or whatever allows you to count on Krogans allying with you against the Reapers. So in a profile where Wrex is dead, has that option been closed off?

Speculation at this point, but it seems pretty logical. Who knows?

TheOutlawXanadu · « **Reply #233 on:** May 06, 2010, 02:16:29 PM »

Playing with a Vanguard is so fun.

It makes combat go so fast. As an Infiltrator - my last save - I would spend copious time sneaking around and trying to get head shots. As a Vanguard? I just zip around and blast enemies with a shotgun. Entire swarms go down in seconds.

Agreed. I can't wait to come home and pick up where I left off with my asskicking machine.

I think that if Wrex is dead, then maybe you will have to do some kind of mission to get the krogans to help you in ME3. Or maybe that option is indeed closed off, of course this is all speculation at this point.

In my save file that I transfer from ME1 have Wrex alive, which would mean the krogan help, I saved the rachni queen so they're on my side, I reprogrammed the geth and destroyed the collector's ship, with everyone surviving. In my second playthrough I will save the collector's ship.

Starkweather · « **Reply #236 on:** May 09, 2010, 09:03:51 AM »

So I'm getting a character to level 60 in ME1, I'm currently 53, so I think 2 or 3 more playthroughs should do it. I'm also going to be going for the ally and difficulty achievements. Wish me luck.

TheOutlawXanadu · « **Reply #237 on:** May 09, 2010, 09:07:05 AM »

One more playthrough. Insanity. Shoot the Geth Colussus with Shepard, not the Mako.

You will reach 60.

Dimitrius · « **Reply #238 on:** August 04, 2010, 06:09:11 PM »

So last night I finally was able to download Kasumi and the Overlord DLC.

Kasumi's loyalty mission was lame, but it did help me max out Sheppard.

Overlord was great! At the end I send David off to the Grissom Academy, I don't know if that will affect anything in ME3 but I guess we'll see.

faemir · « **Reply #239 on:** August 04, 2010, 07:53:25 PM »

Reinstalled, all DLC bought and downloaded, woop!

FUCKING EPIC

I haven't bought any of the ME2 DLC yet, but I think I'll have to for this.

Dimitrius · « **Reply #242 on:** September 03, 2010, 02:32:38 PM »

So to prepare for this DLC I'm going through ME2 again, on the easiest difficulty just to do it fast.

Why? I already beat it on insane and I just wanted to enjoy the story again, I don't see anything lame in that.
